View MoreAs Alexander's words hung in the air, there was this subtle tension between Nathan and him. It was clear that Nathan's plan had been foiled, at least for the time being. I turned to leave, but not before catching a glimpse of a familiar face across the room - Alicia. When did she get here, "I guess she's always hovering around you" I said and they both shifted eyes to her.Alicia's gaze lingered on me for a moment before she regained her composure. She must have overheard us.A sly smile spread across her face, this bitch getting some funny ideas.She felt threatened, and I could sense her mind racing with ways to take me down. After the staring competition she walked towards us, surprisingly Nathan walked to her grabbed her wrist and took her out."Lovers quarrel" Alexander said and chuckledThe entertainment industry, here I come. And Alicia, you're going to find out that the Paula you bullied back then is not the same person I am today.***Today marked my first day in the enterta
As I walked out from the bathroom back to the event, there he was - the last person I expected to see was standing before me, the man I once loved.Noticing me, he turned in my direction. Nathan was filled with rage mixed with regret; his eyes could tell, and trust me, I wasn't going to be swayed by mere looks. His gaze was intense, and for a moment, he seemed lost. His usual confident demeanor was replaced with uncertainty, but he managed to find his words. "Paula, please, you have to hear me out," he said. "I'm sorry for whatever you had to go through." He said it with so much sincerity that one would fall for, but obviously not me. At this point, I was getting irritated. Could this day get any worse? And did he really think a simple apology would fix everything? His words made me angrier. "You've got to be kidding me, Nathan," I said. "You're sorry? Really?" I repeated, my voice firm. "Just stay away from me, Nathan, and I won't have Alicia barking at me again. You should put a le
“Hey, babe.” He came in and studied my reflection in the mirror in open admiration. “You look very beautiful in that dress. So very elegant and regal.”I studied myself, blushing at his compliment. “Thank you, baby.”“I bet everyone’s eyes will be on you tonight but trust me, I’m ready to pluck off those wandering eyes.” He kissed my forehead.I giggled like a love-struck teenager, putting my hands around his neck as his went around my waist. I considered myself lucky to have him in my life. These past five years had been full of joy and happiness. I had a daughter I loved and a man who adored us both.Alex was nothing like Nathan. He was so attentive, so caring, so loving. He was everything a woman wished for and I’d grown to love him, even more than I’d always loved Nathan.“How’s the venue search going?” He asked.“Oh, the wedding planner said she’ll get back to me tomorrow. The florist said she’s getting the floral arrangements ready and will begin as soon as I send her the venu
“Is my father in?” I questioned Mr. Russell, my father’s butler. The man himself was surprised to see me. “Yes, he is. Come in.”I stepped into the foyer and almost bawled at the sight of every familiar feeling that wrapped me. Taking a deep breath, I continued my way to his study/private office. He was certain to be there by this time of the day.Gripped by apprehension, I wiped sweat from my palm on my wrinkled skirt and knocked on the door of his study.“Yeah? Who’s that?” His deep voice called.I blew nervous breath and quietly cleared my throat. “I-it’s me, Paula.” I didn’t hear his voice again.Scared to enter and feeling ashamed as well, I wrung my hands. “D-dad, please let me in.”I heard nothing. “I-I’m sorry, pl…” The door opened before I could finish my apology. I met eye to eye with the man who had birthed me. Emotions crippled me, I couldn’t help the tears that fell. “I’m sorry, dad. Y-you were right. I-I should have listened to you.”Dad watched me, not saying a wo
“We’re here, ma’am.” The driver’s announcement brought me out of my depressing thoughts. I quickly wiped my tears a d raised my face. I looked through the window and tried enough, there was the gigantic office building of Nathan. I paid the cab driver and alighted.Pulling my sweatshirt around me tighter, I walked towards the building with a heavy heart and slow, hopeless steps.I was broken but I didn’t want to give up. Regardless, I still loved Nathan and wanted him back. He had refused picking my calls, so I had to come to the office.This was the only way to see him.To my shock,this Alicia was with him in his office when I entered.His face scrunched into an angry scowl. “What are you doing here?”“What is she doing here, Nathan?” I wasn’t happy seeing that lady in here with him.“She has every right to be here but you don’t.” He retorted.“I am your wife, Nathan. Why are doing this to me? To us?” The tears that had been falling ever since that day he had me thrown out didn’t
“Here’s the result, ma’am.” The doctor I’d come to see handed me a sheet of paper.I held my breath, reading through the result. My smile widened and tears filled my eyes as soon as I spotted the word ‘positive’.I was pregnant. I had used three different pregnancy test strips and all had come out positive but I wanted to be sure, hence, my reason for visiting my family doctor. “I’m pregnant.” I said with tears finally falling down my face. “Yes, congratulations.” The doctor smiled.Nathan would be so happy. We had been trying to get pregnant for a while now. Two years to be exact and now that it had finally happened, I could not wait to share the news with him.I rushed out of the doctor’s office, got into my car and headed straight for home. I checked the time. It was just past three pm.He usually closed from the office and got home around six or seven. I decided to make a special dinner for both of us.
