"Out of the blue?" Mike said, sipping his drink, and I nodded. "Now that Elisabeth and I are no longer together, I figured I want my friend back," I said, and he frowned. "I thought she was your mistress?" he asked, and I shook my head. "Damn, Luke, that is what has been going about the city. Abo
Luke. We did not speak about Elisabeth after he revealed she was seeing Joey, and we decided to discuss other matters while I waited for Tia to join us. I was more eager to see what she would wear. Two hours later, a show-stopping gorgeous Tia walked into the club. She looked like a goddess. She l
We lay on the bed panting after our session, and soon Tia began to laugh. "What is so funny?" I asked, and she smiled at me. "You should have seen yourself at the club. If it was possible to do it in the VVIP, you would have. You had no control, Luke," She said, and I laughed. "Would you blame me
Tia. Heading Diamond Corp was sudden and tedious, but I had to do it. I was the only person Luke trusted to allow to handle his business, and I understood why. Surrounded by the likes of Stacy, we had to be extra vigilant. I was the only one with a lot to lose if he got hurt. Dealing with the boar
"Anyway, how is your holiday going with Luke? You guys do not spend much time in the mansion anymore and haven't come by since the last breakfast we had; I am beginning to suspect Stacy might be telling the truth when she said you two have secretly moved out," he said, and I knew what he was trying
"You amaze me, Tia. I did not know you were like this," he said, and I shook my head. "Your family made me like this. You bought me for your son because Stacy did not want me with Caleb. You know Luke will not let Monica work with Gail, so you approached me, thinking you could scare me into accepti
Tia. I was shocked at Alpha Aesop's words. He was very clear about his intentions, and his threat resounded. I could not believe this man would resolve to do this all to please his wife. As much as I knew Luke would never leave me, even if it were to please him, I still had to be wise and careful a
"Call HR now and have Monica fired," He said, and I almost laughed, but I held it together. Picking up the phone without hesitation. "So this is what Stacy wanted you to do here? That was why she mounted pressure on me? So she could steal from my son to pay whoever?" He said with anger. His key mar
Grand aunty Ummul passed away a year ago, and we still miss her, especially Emma and Chloe. We had learned sign language because of her. We did not mourn too much because we knew she had gone to rest. Luke was glad we could care for her a little longer before she died. Aunty Amira was married with c
"You missed breakfast," Luke said, and she looked away. I noticed a hickey on her neck. She saw that I noticed and tried to cover it. "Come on, Luke, Aunty Amirah can come for breakfast whenever," I told him, and she smiled at me. Not wanting him to say anything else, I urged him to move on. "I ho
Tia SIX MONTHS LATER Luke and I woke up late, so we had to rush to prepare for breakfast. Chloe and James were peaceful babies, and even though they had nannies, we checked on them at night to ensure they were alright. They were a blessing. Paul was growing well too. Doctor Khalifa had said his he
"Stacy.." he managed with his deep voice., but it sounded weak and defeated. I looked up gradually, and his eyes were filled with tears. "I am sorry, Stacy. I was mean to you. I should have made more effort. I should have loved you harder. I take all the blame," he said, and I shook my head and sto
Stacy. I spent three months missing Aesop. It was hard. Sometimes I wished I didn't leave, but I needed time alone. All my life, I had been in someone's shadow. First, it was my parents, then Regan and then Aesop. I never had the time to discover myself and learn my weaknesses and strengths. I neve
"Every time you feel a contraction, I want you to push," She said, and I nodded. The first contraction came, and I pushed as instructed. ONE HOUR LATER I had delivered twins. A boy and a girl and the nurses had taken them to clean them up. I was anxious to see them. They had wheeled me back to the
"I know you didn't think your exit would affect him much, but it did. When he said he loved you, he meant it. When you were poisoned, he never left the hospital until the day he brought you home. He remained by your side. When he pushed you out of his room, he gave them an order at the gate not to l
"No, Luke. Let me see her first, then I will call you to bring him," I said and took out my phone to text him the address. "I am sending you her address right now," I said, and he looked a bit worried. "What is the matter, darling?" I asked him, and he sighed. "You are almost due, Tia. I would no
"Have you been able to reach Stacy?" He asked me, and I shook my head. I knew it wouldn't be easy since Caleb her son, had been unable to reach her. He travelled to Dome two months ago when she opened the foundation, and he did not meet her. She had been M.I.A. since then. It was as if she deliberat
