Why would she react to my name? She probably remembers what I did and wants me to escape her. The thought irked me. I didn't want to leave. In fact, I wanted to be right here when she woke up. I had prayed and prayed to God for her to wake up and I’d be damned if I missed it. The doctor left after giving her a sedative which made her calm down and falls asleep. "Ethan, you need to rest, eat and bathe. I'm sorry but you stink and I'm sure you don't want her to wake up and see you like this." Funke said with her hands on her nose dramatically. I shook my head in denial. "I'm not leaving this room. I'll have my driver bring my toothbrush and other things with new clothes here and I'll use the toilet but I'm not leaving her" she sighed because she knew she wasn't going to win the conversation. Everyone had tried to get me to leave this room but I just kept their voices out. I sat down on the couch with my hands on my head. "I brought this meal for you. At least eat something that
Pain makes the heart weak,It breaks from the inside,It could cloud our judgment,And break lovers apart...©Oluwatoyosi Precious POV Pain. All I felt was pain. All I remembered was pain. My heart was broken all over again, my body was waging a war against my mind. I couldn't think straight and all I saw was darkness. I pushed myself to the limit, telling myself there was light after this. My body was in pain yet I struggled to keep moving. And then it was like there was a door. Pushing it open, I forced myself to open my eyes and I was hit with light. I fluttered my eyes open, blinking furiously to adjust to the light in the room. It was painted cream and I could hear a beeping sound to my right. I heard voices and I turned my head to where the sound is coming from. I saw Funke, Joel, Rose, and Ethan's dad. "Funke" her head whipped to my side even though my voice was slightly lower than a whisper. "Ife, oh God thank you. You’re awake, I'm so happy" sh
ETHAN'S POV After an hour, my parents left. Joel went to the company while Funke went to get some food. I sat by her side holding her hand while working. I felt a stir and looked up to see her fluttering her eyes open. I stood up and dimmed the lights. "Hmm... " she croaked out and I rushed to get the water by her table. Giving it to her she gulped it furiously. I took the cup and placed it down. I just sat there by her side. I didn't know what to say. I didn't want to trigger her again so I kept silent and held her hand. "Where am I," her beautiful voice asked. "The hospital. You had many injuries but they were able to stabilize you" I explained softly. "I was out for nine days, who knew I could sleep that long" she tried to joke and I smiled. At least she was talking suddenly her mood changed seriously. "What happened to them?" I knew whom she was talking about and I stiffened. "In the prison where they would never hurt anyone again" my voice was hard but it softened at th
We think what we want to think,We say what we want to say,We love who we want to love,But does our heart and brain go with it?©Oluwatoyosi Precious POV "Is there anything else you need?" Ethan asked me as he went to the door to get the wheelchair. My legs were still wobbly, so I had to either use these or crutches. And to think that after a week, I would have been able to move properly. "No, just want to get out of this place" I replied honestly. I've had enough of the hospital smell and food. I wanted to go home and eat and just sleep on my comfortable bed. At least, we were leaving now. "Okay then let's go" I nodded and moved myself to sit on the wheelchair but it was hard considering I couldn't walk properly. Ethan came to my side and picked me up without a fuss and placed me in the wheelchair. I muttered thanks and a sigh of relief. I was finally leaving this place. Ethan wheeled me to his car, and I remembered when Funke told me she wasn't going to pick me up cause
When the pain is too much,Take a break.© Oluwatoyosi Precious POV I was stirred awake by someone shaking me. Fluttering my eyes open, I saw that it was Funke grinning wildly at me. I turned over until I was laying on my side. "Leave me alone" my voice came out muffled because of the pillow as I threw the other pillow at her. I closed my eyes again awaiting my second round of sleep when I was hit hard with the pillow I threw. I jumped awake ready to hit her again. "What is it" I whined on the bed. I needed sleep. I just wanted to sleep all day. Funke hit me again with the pillow and I took it from her and attacked, hitting her with it furiously while she laughed. "Didé járé, já Jádé. Liya n duró dé wá" she voiced out still laughing and I stopped the attack. ( Stand up, let's go out. Liya is waiting for us). "Mí o fè jádé. Mo kàn fé sún" I sat back down on the bed and pouted looking at her. (I don't want to go out. I just want to sleep). "Jó nàw. Óyá má rá gbógbó óunjé tó m
I had thought my life would hold so many surprises but meeting a billionaire, falling in love with him when I came to New York to get away from my past, being heartbroken by this billionaire once, then being kidnapped and hurt by the man I have finally thought, I'd grow old with, was not a part of my plan. But we don't always get what we want. I remember telling Ethan that I didn't want to get broken again, and I was scared of falling in love with someone out of my league but I guess life had other plans. The pain I felt during the kidnap was bearable but whenever I thought of how Ethan couldn't believe me, someone he claimed to love just broke me. Yes, a relationship needs love but trust is required as a foundation as well. We might love someone and not trust them but the two needs to be balanced. "Liya, it's not that I don't want to give him a chance. It's just I can't forget all he said. He hurt me Liya. Granted he never laid a finger on me but his words were more than a sla
Whenever my mum asked me to follow her to the market in Nigeria, I would do everything I could to get out of it. Mostly because the sun in Nigeria was like heating someone under a rock. I never liked shopping and right now, I was trying my possible best to keep up with the enthusiastic girls before me. My legs were exhausted and my back was hurting but I didn't want to spoil the fun so I followed them. We went to Victoria's secret store. "Let's get some lingerie" I choked on my saliva at how loud she sang the words out. She turned and smiled innocently knowing full well what she did. We entered the store and picked out some according to Liya, sexy-as-hell undergarments. I knew I wasn't going to wear them anytime soon so I picked some cute ones as well. "How does this look?" we looked up to see Liya in a corset. I burst out laughing at how she displayed herself. Out of we three, she was surely the crazy one but I loved her that way. "It looks sexy" I squealed. It was true, she
Promises are meant to be broken,The ones that who keep theirs, are they Fools?...Promises are meant to be kept,The ones that break them, are they Wise?.© OluwatoyosiPrecious POVWriter's block!That was the only way I could explain my lack of concentration and loss of ideas. I've been rereading the same line of my book for a few minutes and I was getting frustrated. That was why I was sitting on the floor of my living room exasperated. I huffed and stood up to get a snack. The house was empty. Funke had to go out for God knows what and, since I was stuck here, I thought I'd write something but as things were going now, I couldn't even come up with ideas.I got to the kitchen and took four slices of bread and spread butter on them. I grabbed a can of coke from the fridge and went back to the parlor. This was my last day in New York and I thought I'd just stay home. Everyone had come and said their goodbyes but I hadn't seen him at all. Although I was not ready to face him, I th
"To the mall!" I told the driver excitedly. He drove us there, and I quickly got out, rushing to the kids’ section while dragging Funke, who was laughing at my excited face.I bought a small onesie that said "I love Daddy," paid for it, and went to the grocery store. I bought all the ingredients needed to make our favorite food, paid, and left. I checked the time, and it was past 4 p.m., so I decided to go straight home so I could cook."Will you come with me?" I asked Funke, and she shook her head."No, I have something to do in the office; besides, this is something you need to do yourself. I'm happy for you, babe," she hugged me again, and we dropped her off at the office before I left for home.We pulled up at the house. Ethan had surprised me again with this house; he said he wanted us to have a huge family, so he built a mansion with 8 rooms, one for each of our six kids, even though I protested. The house was homely because his mother designed it with my mother. It had an enorm
Being together is greatGrowing old together is amazing,Having a family is betterTaking care of the family is everything.© OluwatoyosiPrecious POV.It's been two months since we got back from our honeymoon. It has been amazing waking up to my husband and going to bed with him."So, what are we going to do about the shipment?" Daphne, my assistant, snapped me out of my daydreaming about my husband."Send it to everyone that ordered," she nodded."You have a meeting by 4 p.m. with Candler Inc." I nodded, not being able to speak because I felt sick in my stomach. I rushed to the bathroom to throw up. I had been throwing up since morning, not to mention the way I've been feeling sick these past few weeks, when we came home. Daphne rushed to my side, holding up my hair and rubbing my back."You need to see the doctor, ma'am. You've been sick the whole week," she said sharply, since I've been denying going to the doctor."It's just the flu. Don't worry," I said, waving it off."It's not
We were about to enter the cart when I saw the little boy who gave me a coin helping out his mother in a food stand. He was wearing worn out clothes and I immediately felt bad for him. I pulled Ethan with me and walked towards them. The little boy smiled at me making his entire chocolate eyes sparkle. "Two tacos please," I told the woman who looked so tired while she placed the tacos. She handed it over to me."5euro," the woman said in a tired voice and I took out a hundred and gave it to her."You can keep the change," I said immediately and her eyes widened. I had my assistant change some money into Euro for me last night. "Thank you so much" the woman held my hand with tears in her eyes and I smiled at her. I bent down to the little boy’s level and brought out a fifty and handed it to him despite his protest."Thank you for your coin" I whispered softly making his eyes widen. I ruffled his long brown hair and took Ethan's hand in mine."Have I ever told you how amazing you are?"
I can show you the worldI can make you smileIt's a promise, my loveFrom me to you. © Oluwatoyosi Precious POV I woke up first to see Ethan still sleeping peacefully. His thick black hair was rumpled, his head was once again on my bare chest with his hands wrapped around me. He looked like a hot mess. I moved his hands gently so I could stand up. Thankfully, he didn't wake up. I wrapped the second duvet around my body and went to press the button and ordered breakfast silently. I was on my honeymoon in Rome, staying in a suit, I was going to enjoy it and even though there was a stocked up kitchen, I didn't feel like cooking. I moved carefully to the bathroom to pee. I brushed my teeth, had a hot shower, and came out wearing a white silk bathrobe when I heard the knock. I rushed to the door careful not to wake him and collected the tray of food from the bellman, tipping him from my purse, he thanked me and left. I sat down by the bed with the tray on my lap and gently removed hi
It's time to spend, spoil, love,It's time to cherish, care, flaunt...Finally as one, thick as thieves,We will be ours, in every way. © Oluwatoyosi Precious’s POV The feeling of hot breath tickling my neck woke me up with a smile as I saw Ethan staring at me with adoration in his eyes. "Hmm... I really think I would love to get used to this" I whispered softly. "Good morning Ífé mi" I blushed at his endearment, letting a yawn escape my lips. "Good morning indeed, babe," I said back making him smile wildly. I don’t think I would get tired of his smile. It simply made his beautiful blue eyes sparkle. "Let's go shower," I let out a squeal as he carried me from the soft bed in the private plane. I should have expected he had other plans, and so after the rough love making, I was really sore. He placed me down with him behind me, switching on the shower he helped me bath. Once we were done, we stepped out and we got dressed when we heard the pilot telling us to take our seats sinc
I am yoursYou are mineIn every sense,In every way...©OluwatoyosiPrecious POVOkay, I was already thinking something was up cause we weren't heading to the airport, instead we were driving to a place I'd never been to but I was sure it was still Lagos."Ethan where are we going?" I asked curiously."It's a surprise" he smirked and I glared at him. I wanted to know now."Fine," I huffed angrily, folding my hands on my chest."Don't be like that love, we'll be here soon. I have a lot to do tonight," he purred seductively kissing me then nibbling my earlobe causing me to moan. I slapped my hand on my mouth. I didn't want the driver to hear me. He kept kissing my exposed neck and switching to my lips simultaneously. I didn't notice we had stopped."We're here," he said with a full blown smile. The door opened making me jump away from Ethan. He pulled me out to see a house. A big beautiful house that could easily be recognized as a mansion stood before me. "Ethan, why am I looking at
"I wasn't prepared to get slapped by a short fierce black girl, so if someone had told me I would be marrying a Nigerian girl then I would have laughed in the person's face. I wasn't prepared to meet you. You came like a light in my dark busy world, you came with your playfulness, your seriousness, your activeness, your fierceness, your Independence, but I love it all. You are my queen, the person who gives me peace, the person who gives me a reason to work harder and faster, the person who gives me a reason to love, the person who gives me a reason to keep going. I know I don't say it a lot but I love you, you are the person I want to wake up to, the person I want to live with, the person I want to see every night. You always told me God puts people in our lives for a reason, well you are my reason. I promise you today before man and God that I will love you, cherish you, take care of you, spoil you, be with you, and stick with you for the rest of our lives. I love you to the infinit
Here I stood, behind the giant doors to the church in all my nervousness."You look beautiful," I jumped at my dad's sudden voice but smiled either way."Thank you daddy. I'm so nervous," I admitted, because if there's anyone who could make my nerves go, it was my dad."You can get out now,"Woah, that wasn't what I expected."But think about how you will feel. Is it worth it with him? Will you be happy with him? You need to be selfish right now and consider yourself. Are you doing this for him or are you doing it for you?, Is he the one you want to wake up next to every day of your life?, Is he the person you want to have children with?, Is he the one you want God to join you to? These questions can only be answered by you. If you can't then you still have time to get out. But I want you to know that I'm proud of you no matter your decision" I thought about it.Ethan was the only one who made me feel peaceful apart from God. He was the person I wanted to see every day of every minute
I have waited so long for this day,Where I hold you in my arms,Where I kiss you with my heart,To tell you, you are finally mine..© OluwatoyosiEthan's POVI have dreamed of this day. I have thought about this day.I have waited for this day. Now it's finally here.It's my wedding day.I was standing in front of my mirror fixing my red tie as I kept thinking of my vows. I had suggested that we write our own vows and here I am, stuck, because there are so many things I want to say."You are going to make a hole in that mirror if you keep glaring at it. Aren't wedding days supposed to be happy days?" my dad's voice brought me back to reality, I hadn't noticed I was glaring at the mirror and made my hand get stuck in the tie. I sighed and looked at my dad. Maybe he could help me."I'm stuck dad. I was the one who suggested we write our own vows and now, I can't seem to make up my mind," I confessed and rubbed my temples while my dad laughed. The old man freaking laughed. I stared at
