Mr Damien laughed and teased his daughter. “You are too forward, Chole. He is grandpa’s son” he informed her. She walked towards me and touched my face. “Grandpa has a son? Does that mean that he is mom’s brother?” She asked, turning to her dad. Mr Damien noded and tuned the Tv to business news. It felt awkward for me as I sat there like a statue. “How are you doing Chole?” I asked with a smile. She smiled back and nodded. “I am fine. What is your name?” She asked, boldly. I was amazed at how smart and beautiful she was. “My name is Cole. Cole Swift “ I replied with a chuckle. She sat next to me and adjusted herself before she talked. She was totally adorable. “Nice meeting you Uncle Cole” she said, looking at her dad and returning her gaze to the Tv. She sighed like an adult and looked at me. “We are going to die of boredom. He won’t switch the channel till an hour “ she whispered to me. I was tempted to laugh. I smiled broadly and whispered back. “What would you like to do
Irene’s POV. I woke up with a slight headache. I gently got out of bed and noticed the cannula fixed in my hand. I walked to the bathroom and emptied my bladder. I looked at how pale and slim I had become in a few days. I walked out of the bathroom and noticed I had been sleeping for five hours. I lazily called for Damien but there was no response. I checked the closet and noticed he might have walked out. As I walked down the stairs, I perceived the smell of a bakery. It felt like butter, coconut and cinnamon in the air. “Good evening ma’am “ Albert greeted as he walked past me. “Where is my husband?” I responded. Albert made room for me to pass and said, “Probably outside the mansion with Chole ''. I nodded and finally made it through to the end of the stairs. The smell of baked food was more stronger as I stepped inside the living room. I followed the aroma and it led me to the kitchen. I stood at the entrance of the kitchen and at first sight, I fell totally in
It was the first time in days I slept with a crisis. I slept like a lad. I woke up the next day before my husband. I got out of bed and went to the bathroom. After brushing my teeth, I reluctantly took my bath and applied my skincare routine. I felt fresh and energetic all of a sudden. As I got out of the bathroom, my husband was already awake. He was so into his computer that he barely noticed me till I locked the door. “Mama, how are you doing?” He asked, keeping his laptop away. He opened his hands and signaled for me to come. I leaned on the bed with one leg and hugged his head that rested gently on my breasts. He rested with his eyes closed on my chest and hugged my waist. “You smell so good “ he complimented with his eyes closed. I blushed and kissed his forehead. Damien snuggled more on my breasts till my towel almost fell off. “That’s enough big baby” I gently pushed him away, as I wrapped my towel again. Damien acted like a toddler, he didn’t let go of my waist an
The knock on the door distracted us. It was her doctor, he greeted me with a smile as he saw me. I took him downstairs for tea to buy time for my wife to get dressed. “ Mr Damien, thank you”, he smiled as he collected the cup from the maid. I also asked the maid to fix a breakfast tray for Irene. After his tea, I waited for the tray before walking upstairs to meet my wife. Watching Irene sleep was like staring at the rainbow after a stormy cloud. She looked so beautiful, calm,innocent and too soft for all these dramas. I changed out of my loungewear and changed into a navy blue suit. I had asked Raymond to fix an interview with the most prominent broadcast station in Cabin city. As I wore my tie, my eyes met the customized watch my wife had got for me on my last birthday. A small smile formed on my face as I picked it up and wore it around my wrist. I kissed her forehead before I walked out of the room. Raymond drove me to the broadcast station in forty
Interviewer: Awwww. It is almost impossible for anyone to think you two aren’t a match made in heaven. You compliment each other. And I am sorry for your wife’s health. I will also like the whole of Cabin to respect her privacy during these times. I cannot but imagine how she might be feeling. Me: My wife is a fragile baby girl. She is very sensitive although stubborn. All those trolls and comments weren’t necessary. Bashing a woman who is passionate about hard work is wrong.Interviewer: Exactly sir. There are questions sir. It might sound insensitive but we would want clarity on that. It’s about The relationship between your wife and her brother. And how has their relationship affected her relationship with Madison?Me: Irene had always believed she was the only child of Mr Dave. It was eight months ago she learnt that he had a son. It was not easy for her to accept the reality. Especially when he showed up and started laying claims on the company she had worked for. Irene is huma
Madison’s POV As the doorbell rang, my first instinct was to peep from the window. At first glance, my heart skipped. It was Damien. I became nervous all of a sudden. It was uncalled for but it happened. I took three deep breaths before I walked towards the door. I held the knob and pulled it. “Good morning sir, good morning Ray”, I greeted them as they walked in with shopping bags. “Good morning Maddie, I missed you'' Raymond smiled as he dropped the bags on the dining table. I smiled back weakly, as I tried to feel comfortable in my own home. Mr Damien sat down on the couch without a word. It felt like I was the guest in my home. ‘Welcome sir, what do I owe this grace?'' I asked, folding my hands. “ Sit” he commanded and I found myself obeying. As soon as I sat down, the lecture began. “ I had a meeting with your boyfriend yesterday and today it is your turn. You are a smart lady and it is no news that a lot has been happening in the past week” he paused and looked at
“What do you mean?” I asked back, totally surprised at his odd and weird question. Cole looked at me and shook his head. “ Maddie, he said so many things, I want to know if he meant all of what he said'', he repeated the same question. “Mr Damien does not lie. He is known for always saying things the way they are. Which of his words is making you doubt all he had said?” I asked yawning. “ He said irene ate from the cake i made, did he mean that?” He looked at me with keen attention. “ Is that what is getting you this worked up?” I asked with a smile. “ I know Mr Damien doesn't lie and Irene can’t stay away from cakes and cookies. So, it might be true”. I replied. Cole had a calm smile as I told him Mr Damien was telling the truth. “I really want to make cakes for Irene, I have always wanted to give her more of what makes her happy, right from when she was a kid” Cole blushed. I rolled my eyes at how he gushed over taking care of irene. The thought of letting
As soon as she hung up my phone fell from my hand. What did she mean by I am being sued by Damien?. I was still in confusion when Joses barged in with so much anger in his eyes. “What is going on? Why is everything turning off? What the hell!! You promised me this was going to work!” He yelled. I was too shocked and confused to understand all that was happening. “Baby boy, you need to calm down and explain it slowly. What are you talking about? Why are the legal team withdrawing?” I asked, trying to touch him. He pulled himself away gently and paced around the room. The tension in the room was so high that I started feeling my stomach rumbling. “Haven’t you seen the news?” He blasted out of nowhere. I nodded my head as his question sounded familiar with what Barr. Glow asked over the phone. “What the hell!! “ he hissed. “Calm down Baby J, I just woke up” I whined. He stared at me with disgust and it offended me. I didn’t know how and what I was supposed to do. “ It's
