"Confused on what?" "My trip to country V...""I....met....this..." and she paused thinking of how best to put it "Continue lily" "I met this b...." her door opened and the ladies looked out to find who it was that introduced their discussion. "Raymond?" Wendy exclaimed. Lily felt relieved when she saw that wendy had focused her attention on Raymond. The man walked in elegantly as he sat on lily's desk. Not breaking his gaze from lily"How are you pretty?" he asked in a sexy tone but lily remained unfazed "Fine" she replied coldly. Wendy let out a chuckle while He bit his lips. He wanted to ask her something else but wendy was having none of it."Raymond can we talk""Outside" she added.The man glared at her and she stood up while he followed her. Lily sighed as she went back to what she was doing."What is wrong with you?""Meaning what?" "Leave lily alone" He burst into a fit of laughter.
Wendy woke up feeling sore all over her body. She woke up and looked around."This isn't my room""Or ace's?" she began to panic. She turned to the door but before she could turn the knob the door flew open. A young man walked in with a tray containing her breakfast and some medicines. The man watched her while he went by the desk and dropped the tray. She had seen this face before, his face was familiar but she couldn't just figure out where she had seen him. She had a lot of questions"What happened?""Where am I?""Who are you?"She blabbered out.The man kept on looking at her till she fell silent"Am Raymond" he said softly. "I'll answer your questions when you are done with your food and your drugs" "When you have taken your shower, I'll be downstairs then we can talk" and he left her still speechless. "Raymond?" she mustered. She dashed in to take her bath and brush up. After a few minutes she was done, but she didn't h
The car came to a halt. "Take care of your self okay?" Raymond said softly.She nodded and left the car. She knocked and the door opened and she entered in. Raymond turned and left. "Hey, how are you?" Wendy went over to ace and hugged him but he didn't reciprocate her hug. She loo."Who was that?" "Who!" "Raymond, he was the one that saved me yesterday" she repliedHis mood changed "Saved you? from?"Lesbians" she replied"You kidding me right?""Am serious" "Your joking with me huh? you don't want to tell me why you didn't come home yesterday right?" Wendy glared at him without saying a word to him, she stood up and left the house. Before ace could catch up with her she was already gone. He went back inside the house giving himself reasons why to think she was lying"Maybe she's saying the truth" and he ran after her. When he got to her house he knocked severally but she didn't answer"Wendy please am sor
Her door flew open and Raymond walked in looking worried."Did anyone die?" she asked noticing the awkwardness on his face. "Are you Ok?""How come?""Have you taken any drugs"She giggled."Am fine Raymond it's just fever""Just???""Just fever?""Yes Raymond" He facepalmed himself"Where is your boyfriend""I.....I don't know" she said reluctantly "Come here were going to the hospital," he said pulling her gently"No no" she objected. He went out and bought some drugs for her, he prepared something for her to eat and he brought it to her room. She smiled on seeing him, while he brought the food to her. When she was done eating she took her drugs. When he was sure that she was doing fine he turned to leave but she held his hand"Don't go"He smiled and sat with her.The door was ajar when Ace walked in. He searched the kitchen and the rooms on the lower floor but he saw no one. He hurriedly went up to
Wendy grew pale each day that passes. She just couldn't get Ace out of her mind. He wasn't just a boyfriend to her, he was family.When her aunt had gotten married she became alone till Ace came by, whenever she had a bad dream. He would cuddle her while kissing her forehead assuring her that he was there with her. She had so many memories with him, but she didn't miss the memories she missed him. Raymond had turned into an extra caring friend just to prove his love for her but the more he tried the more indifferent she became. "Am leaving"Raymond turned in her direction, his face turning sour "Why?" She glanced at him for a while and left without answering his question.When she got home, she sighed in relief, she had missed her home, especially the memories she had with Ace.She went up to her room to clean up and came down to the kitchen to prepare something to eat. She heard a sound, she rushed outside to find who it was. When she o
At the end of the dayLily became worried, Wendy and Raymond had left hours ago, and yet wendy hadn't returned. After work, she went over to her office to check up on her. When she got there, Wendy was on a call so she sat and made herself comfortable. Wendy's office was quite simple, with frames and a case of trophies. Her desk was neatly arranged. Wendy was done with her call and turned to Lily who was still lost in her thoughts."Lily?""Mm""You like my place?" She nodded."You didn't come back after your private conversation with Raymond?" lily asked stressing the word private.Wendy chuckled"It was nothing lily..." she replied with a wide smile Lily nodded"Let's go home then I'm famished" Wendy nodded as she bent to get her bag"Lily," she said softly."Promise me you would never have anything to do with Raymond" Lily fell silent for a while without reacting but she nodded.Wendy smiled and they walked out, bes
The awaited day had arrived...In the office everyone was terrified, they had to make sure that nothing was wrong with their assessments. Ladies were giggling and talking about Young Mr. Thor "I've missed him so much""I wish it could get to be Mrs . Thor"Back in lily's apartment.She was still sound asleep when she heard her phone buzz'Mm" she grumbled as she grabbed her phone"Lily Lily!!" "Where are you?!!" Wendy shouted. Lily placed the phone away from her ear to avoid getting deaf. "I'm at home why are you calling this early?" she asked seeming annoyed that her sleep was interrupted and she wasn't feeling fineWendy didn't say anything.....Lily tensed up"Wendy??!!""Mr. Thor....." Before wendy could complete her sentence lily dropped her phone and rushed into the bathroom. Wendy sighedAfter a short shower, she rushed and dressed up. She packed her into a bun, and without putting on any makeup she put on her shoes a
Lily slumped. Dilan was quick enough to catch her, he looked at the girl and carried her to his sofa. He brought out his cellphone"Liam hurries up here and you two too" and he hung the phone. He stared at the girl and went back to his desk without any feeling of Alertness or fear. The trio arrived and met Dilan at his desk, "Dilan....why did you...." Nix paused when he saw the girl lying on the sofa Liam ran over to where she lay still unconscious."What happened," he asked grinning his teethDilan didn't take his eyes off his work"Call Darrel to check up on her" he replied coldly. Nix sighed and called Doctor Darrel. The man rushed to his office upon hearing the urgency in nix's voice. When he got to Dilan's office he fell silent, Dilan was still seating while working on his files nix and Linax sat down waiting patiently for him while Liam crouched beside lily. When they saw him they stood up except for Dilan who didn't care
Noah, Sajan, and Niah hugged Betty tight she felt she was going to run out of breath."Please don't kill my fiancee before our wedding" Phoenix commented. The kids and their father, Cosmo chuckled. Cosmo walked over to where Nix stood."I'm sure the kids would miss you much too especially Sajan"Nix gave a light smile."I will too""I'm sorry for what Sasha might have put you and Betty through with her vain quest"Nix just stared at him and nodded. Cosmo gave him a light pat and then walked back to the children. "Don't forget to call me if you need help with anything" Betty said."Would you fly over just because of them?" Cosmo asked."Yes" she answered with all seriousness "I still take them as mine though not biologically"Betty hugged the trio once more and then cosmo before leaving them to catch their flight. "Now back to the main business," Nix said.Betty wanted to know why her father helped Sasha forge the results."Or didn't he want her to be with Nix?" She thought aloud
Ring ring...Her phone kept buzzing but she refused to pick up. Why would Dilan be calling her so early in the morning? Though a part of her wanted to answer the call and find out why another part of her seemed to have gotten the best part of her reasoning. She watched her phone buzz repeatedly till he decided to stop calling. She breathed a heavy sigh of relief. Then a knock on her door. She felt tormented. What was all this? At first she concluded she would just stay and wait till the person left but the next thing she heard made her heart jump from her mouth. The person had broken her door down and began to look through the house. She peered from above but only caught his silhouette. She ran inside her room immediately and made to lock the door when she felt a strong hand push the door open. She fell on the floor due that action. "Charles?" She muttered."Why are you...?""Lily is missing" he answered back cutting her off. In seconds he explained everything to her. Each sentence
"Congratulations ma'am" the nurse excitedly congratulated her, her face beaming with smiles. She turned to Steve who was still starting ever lovingly at Silvia. "Please make sure she gets enough rest" the nurse repeated but this time emphasizing strictly to Steve.He nodded in affirmation promising to do so. Silvia ed is oblivious to what was happening within her. Steve held her hands and kissed her on her forehead. "Don't be scared babe I'm here for you " he told her. Silvia didn't know what to do at this moment, she was in utter confusion. This could be the end of her life and career. It would have been better if only she knew about it but then Steve found out. How on earth was she going to tell this man standing before her that she wanted to abort the baby? Not that she couldn't but he'll try to find out why.What was more terrible was knowing that she was going to be in trouble when Dilan or any member of his family gets to hear this. Speaking of Dilan..her phone rang...It w
Silvia glared at the piece of paper in their hand, she crumpled it and threw it into the bin. She got into her car and drove home, she began to ponder"a month pregnant?!!!" she yelled."I can't be. This can't be possible. She parked the car by the side of the road and began to do some "calculations""But we were protected and I never skipped my morning pills" She thought so hard her forehead began to hurt. A memory flashed into her brain, she remembered the time she had stayed indoors with Steve all through. She was too lost in the moment she forgot herself. She yelled and screamed and finally sobbed. This was a bad turn for her, she knew she could not even blame it on Dilan who not for once even gave her a handshake. "Steve!!!" She drove to her house in annoyance. She threw her purse on the couch and began to think of a solution"If I tell him....he might want us to get married" she concluded. With the way steve professed his love for her over and over again she knew that telling
Cosmo walked up to Betty and knelt to face Sajan "Am your father" The man told the boy. The boy blinked repeatedly and looked at Nix."Come" Cosmo put his hand forward to take the boy. Nix dragged the boy to himself. Nix fell short of words too even though it had been his wish for all of this to vanish into thin air or for someone to just pop out of nowhere and claim Sajan. But he didn't think he might feel the way he felt now. He had gotten used to having Sajan as his son a part of him felt excited about having him."What do you mean?" Betty asked Cosmo. He smiles embarrassingly but answered her question truthfully, not wanting her to doubt him. "It's a long story" She cocked her head to the side in wonder. "Let's go home then" Betty suggested. Sasha got into Cosmo's car while Nix, Betty, Sajan, and the twins got into the car leading the way for Cosmo. Nix called Noah Thor who advised him to drive to his house including that he would call Doctor Darrel. The car came to a hal
Arriving at the dining hall, the couple and the trio were given a private room. The elevated radiant ceilings and the orthodox scenery embellished an astonishing ambiance. The interior area appeared friendly and alluring with the flowers on each table and relieving piano music that float in the restaurant. The decibels weren't very high, the soundness was quiet and superficial. Nix discovered that Betty had been silent since they entered."You order I'll be in the bathroom," Betty said with a smile. He nodded and sat down with the children all cornered around him. Betty went into the washroom, she wiped the tears that were about to fall, making sure that she was alright she went back to her date. Phoenix had set up a kind of "family reunion" but it was more like a reunion between him and Betty.Betty sat on her seat which was directly opposite nix, giving him the perfect opportunity to stare at her as long as he wanted. They were served lobster balls and tofu "Simple?" Betty asked"
...Betty found it hard to sleep all through the night. She kept on reminiscing about the events that occurred between her and nix. The surprise kisses ran chills through her spine anytime she thought of it.Matt was right she missed nix but more now she thought of him. After a long thought, she stood up to go and meet Alicia but she paused in her tracks when she thought she might interrupt something.Just then she heard a knock."Wanna talk?" Alicia asked.Betty smiled to herself."Nix you have four days left to bring my son back to me" Sasha texted nix.Nix laughed at seeing the message."Any problem dad?" Sajan asked as he joined Nix on the couch."Your mom misses you"Sajan frowned"Why?""You don't hate her do you?""A little""she's still your mom and you shouldn't feel that way toward her" Nix explained to Sajan.Sajan was about to reply when they got interrupted by a knock on the door followed by the swinging open of the door."Matt?""Phoenix... it been long," Matt said giving
"Betty, why did you even attempt that?" Ashely patted Betty on the back while she sobbed heavily."No matter where I go I'll still feel the same way about him....I'll still love him and i"ll still want to be with him. I can still feel him he's like everywhere. But I can't forget what he did. He lied to me he deceived me" she cried."But he loves you that am sure of" Betty didn't say a word after...after a few minutes she fell into a deep slumber."Phoenix?" Matt asked as he sat beside Alicia.Alicia nodded."So how long is she going to stay here?" "As long as she wants" Alica replied curtly "Why the attitude?" Matt asked with a smile"Why the smile?" she asked back"Get serious Alicia....stop fooling around and help your friend""Matt" Alicia screamed his name and rushed towards him. She blew a punch on his stomach and he "groaned" in pain and began to laugh."That hurts babe," he said hugging Alicia tightly "Leave me you twitch""No" Matt disagreed and kissed her."Your lips tast
Nix and the kids had left that early morning leaving Betty alone in the house. She decided to take a walk before she finally left to "find herself".She just couldn't stop thinking of the happenings of yesterday, especially the surprise kisses she had gotten from Nix. Her lips itched to get more but she was relieved her senses were still in control and had stopped her from what might have led to another thing and now she had her chance to run away from him she wouldn't let it go.She decided to take a cab to anywhere her heart finds solace."Going where ma'am" "Just taking a drive""Okay to where ma'am?""Don't worry I'll take a cab""No ma'am just let me" the driver pleaded.Betty didn't want to argue so she agreedThey drove far away from their hometown, she didn't want to see or hear anyone she knew. She was already aware of the "I love you's, why did do that" coming from her friend Alicia and Nix. But she neither hear any of it. Driving down to the beach several miles away. She s
