Hey guys, I love heels but oh my, I can't seem to wear them for a long time, anymore. So, how was this chapter? The ideas keep pouring in and I wanted us to get a glimpse of their dating/engaged life before the wedding. Anyway, please don't forget to like, comment and share. I love this book.
Thanksgiving with my family and the Whites was a big experience that opened my eyes to the possibilities of who a billionaire’s wife should be. It was all things from nervous to scary to attention to the limelight and I didn’t even plan it, but what I was grateful for was the fact that Ethan was with me.However, I was in the process of bursting my brain because our parents had pushed the Christmas eve party on my shoulders. I was annoyed to be honest when I was told that I would be planning the party, especially since I had gotten the hang of the company’s management.This brings me to why I was seated in my office at 4:36 pm with the event planner, mine, and Ethan’s mum had introduced us. Thankfully, Funke was here with me along with Liya and my sister, Elizabeth, well, since Joel’s parents were also coming, Funke had to step it up as the billionaire’s girlfriend while Liya and my sister were a plus I didn’t take for granted. I laughed in her face when she was forced to plan this wi
Jingle bells, jingle bells, The sound of Christmas arrives, Joy has come to the world, Along with the love of my life. ~Oluwatoyosi Ethan’s POV “I can’t believe your mum got us to work. I could be relaxing with my girlfriend right now, you know that? What exactly did you do to piss her off?” Joel’s words were playful but also a bit annoying, as was I. Here we are lifting sofas and setting up the groundwork for the Christmas eve party on Christmas eve. “Probably because I laughed in her face for being made to throw the party,” I replied as we placed the sofa by the very extravagant Christmas tree in my parent’s living room. Breathing in and out softly from all the lifting, I felt a small hand on my back and knew who it was. “Babe, all that remains now, is to get the crates from the downstairs cellar. Think you guys can manage it?” Precious’s voice was soft and sweet. Too sweet in fact to let me know that she was enjoying the work I was given. “Oh, there the guys are. You gu
I always knew the world of a billionaire wasn’t a bed of roses, they also had thorns on their sticks but what I didn’t know was why I was always the target. Whoever sent that gift box meant for me to be scared and even though the bones were fake, it still did a number on me. Not the scared part, the angry part. I was furious that someone would go to such lengths to try and scare me after all the shit I had gone through.“Do you have any idea who might want to hurt you?” Detective Wallice, who had helped them find me when I was kidnapped, asked and I raised a brow in response.Ethan and I were sitting in my office, as the detectives wanted to see us both. Ethan and I sat on one of the couches while the detectives, Wallice and Carol sat opposite us. I had suggested we have the meeting in my office in case anyone tried to pull a second scare sham and they all willingly agreed.“Well, seeing as Shawn and David are still sitting in a jail cell, and Marley is God knows where, I really do no
By Friday, I thought things had calmed down, and I could finally have some head space to think about anything except a pile of fake bones but we can’t always get what we wish for right?“So, you’re telling me that two people have visited Davis recently?” I asked, trying to understand the concept of what was happening and who could be trying to scare me. I kept pacing behind my office rotating chair as my free left hand massaged my temple.“Yes. A certain Miss Jordan Roberts and Mr. Roger Phillips, however, these two people do not have any record in the system and especially the Roberts woman. She has worked job to job as a different person each time until she finally disappeared,” Detective Wallice said and rested his back on the chair he sat on opposite the mahogany table.“Well, what does she look like?” I asked because I assumed they would have checked the security footage to get a good look at her.“Well, according to the security footage, she has icy blonde hair and bright blue e
“When I started in the company, I worked my bones off to be the best and Mr. Davis recognized my skill and hard work and promoted me to Head of the research section. We became friends because we had a lot in common except, he wasn’t married and I was. He helped my wife get the medical bills privilege even though her bills were past the insurance policy,” Philips started and I leaned to sit on the desk as the detectives brought out their notepads and scribbled some things on it. “He was a good to us but he had his demons. He loved women and never wanted to settle for one. Whenever we’d go drinking, he’d brag about his latest catch which was why I wasn’t shocked when he got arrested for rape and embezzlement,” “Then why were you so against me taking over the company?” I asked, not giving in to his sad crap. I did pity his wife and I knew I would never carry out my threat because well, God won’t allow me. I would only fire him though. “I was scared you’d revoke the privileges when you
I always thought I would be spending my new year fawning over the fact that I got engaged to a white man, and planning the wedding but instead here I was, seated on Ethan’s bed with hot coffee in my hand the day after I got scared out of my wits just waiting for either the boogeyman to strike or for the authorities to catch whoever was behind this. I had gone into shock when I saw the gift box containing a dead cat, so much so that I didn’t even know when Ethan came rushing into my office and carrying into his car before driving us home. I couldn’t speak but according to Ethan, I slept off as soon as he dropped off Funke over at Joel’s apartment. When I woke up this morning, which was around 12pm, I was disoriented and didn’t want to get up, which was why I was still seated on his bed, with a pillow headrest and a giant comforter snuggling my petite form. I sipped the hot coffee that Ethan had brewed and turned my gaze to the side to see Ethan staring at me with worry. I didn’t blam
My jaw ticked as I stared at the two detectives who had gone rather silent or should I say, they were silently communicating. Ethan and I sat side by side in Detective Wallice’s office at the NYPD wondering in silence why the two detectives who had watched the security footage suddenly went silent. “Can someone please say something?” I finally snapped in frustration causing them to snap their gazes at me before Wallice sighed and sat down. “This isn’t enough incriminating evidence, she,” he started. “What do you mean there's not enough evidence? We can both clearly see that she’s blackmailing and threatening the only lead we had who ended up giving us wrong information,” I said or rather yelled until I felt a hand on my back making me turn my head to Ethan incredulously as I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. The footage clearly showed Mr. Philips talking to this woman, who I thought had finally been by my side and she was threatening him, to give us false information. What coul
Ethan was a man of little words when it came to romance, but that was because he always preferred taking action instead and I loved him for it and even though it may be expensive, it was free food for me and bills on him, so who was I to complain?He drove for thirty minutes or so, and parked at a particularly familiar diner. Wong’s diner has been our escape shack when we were both stressed from everything but we hadn’t been here in a while and so with a smile on my face, I stepped out.“Why Wong’s?” I asked curiously.“Well, to get on for the day, we need to fill you up first,” he said and winked before grabbing my hand and pulling me inside. We took our regular table and I smiled as I recalled our experiences in this place.“Remember how I got you roped into my life here?” he asked, flashing his pearly white teeth. A waiter came for our orders before I could reply. We ordered our usual and the waiter left.“Of-course, I remember, it wasn’t particularly convincing,” I said but he smi
