The sound of a car horn filled her ears, Genevieve opened her eyes and stared at the wall next to her. Slowly, the event of her mum's wedding crawled into her, she smiled, got up from her bed and walked into her bathroom.
With her toothbrush in her mouth, she brushed gently, her eyes not leaving her reflection as the thought of Eric filled her mind.
Shoving him off her mind, she washed her mouth, had a refreshing morning shower and walked out the room because Felix informed her that the whole family will have breakfast together downstairs.
As she walked down the stairs, she could see two maids who walked out of a room which should be the kitchen, the aroma of pancakes filled her nose.
With he
Gen scanned around the garden, her eyes filled with wonder at the beauty of everything surrounding her, the soft breeze made her hair swing into different directions, her body captivated with nothing but delight. Indeed, her stepfather placed all his money into having such a luxurious asset."These were planted a year ago, it's so good to watch them grow dramatically" Felix pointed at some flowers, their eyes fixed on it.Mesmerized by the flowers, Gen moved closer to it, bent down and touched it with her face filled with smiles. "They are really pretty, '' she muttered to Felix.Felix watched her with a smile, "Yes they are and I can see that you like them"."Like?" She turned to him with a
The room became so quiet, nothing could be heard except the breathing of Gen as she tried so hard to control herself. She stood still, close to the door as she tried not to make any further move to him just to avoid any more harsh words.He had his eyes fixed on her like he was reading her soul, slowly, Eric walked towards her.Gen's heart began to beat so fast, each step he took felt so real like a knife was pierced into her and all she could do was stand with her head bowed down, her eyes trying all they could not to catch his gaze.Eric stood close to her, their faces almost meeting and he could feel the heat emitting from her."Listen Genevieve, I don't need your apology for anything. All I need from y
"You heard me right Eric, tell your friends to fix their eyes on something and stop talking about my body" Gen snapped at him fearlessly, her eyes not letting go of him.Eric was blown away by her guts, "You realize that it is me you are talking to and not Felix".His words angered Gen who was shocked to believe that Eric could say something so little about his twin brother."You heard me right Eric, tell your pervert friends to have their eyes glued to the TV set and not on my ass. Don't you understand what it means to give respect to a woman's body and not admire her lustfully right to her face, that is very insulting and I won't take that from you or your friends" she said sternly at the shocked face of Eric.
Eric sat on a couch, his eyes fixed on the open window in his room as his veins were visible on his forehead. He held a paper in his hand and squeezed it so tight, an angry look on his face as the whole scenario that transpired between him and Genevieve placed continuously in his head.He couldn't believe that she would do something so shocking, he could still feel his cheek hurt by the hard slap and it angered him so deeply, his eyes not leaving the window."I must do something to get back to her, I won't allow her to spit in my face and go Scott free, never!" He swore under his breath, his look sharp enough to cut through a person's soul."What do you think we should do?" Gen asked as she sat on the couch, her eyes fixed to the big TV set in f
"I don't care who he is, I need to see him right now!" The lady snapped at the maid who looked terrified"You don't have the right to walk into my house and speak to my worker in such a manner" Felix let out and walked towards her, a look of anger on his face.Gen says surprised as she watches the scenero, she has never seen Felix act angry before and with the look on his face, she is sure that he doesn't have a good relationship with this lady.Sonia let go of her sunglasses, she stared at Felix who stood next to her, a look of disgust on her face."And who are you to stop me Felix?" She snapped right back at him."I don't car
The next morning, Felix left for Paris and Genevieve was left all alone with Eric whom she tried all her best to avoid. After having her breakfast with the maid served, she took a refreshing bath, wore a comfortable dress and decided to take a walk around the house.Felix told her there is an art gallery on the third floor and Gen is so thrilled to check it out. With her long black hair let loose, she walked towards the hall staring at each door for the right one.Soon, she was able to find it, she turned the door knob and walked into it, the room was a bit dim. Gen wondered why, she looked around for any light switch but she saw nothing. With flickering eyes, she saw a large curtain not far away from where she stood, maybe it could bring light into the room which was so quiet and felt like no one had been in it for years
Eric walked through the silent house, his eyes scanned around as he noticed that there was no sign of Gen.He did see her in the early hours of the night in the garden but right now she is nowhere to be found and he has searched everywhere for her."Where on Earth could she be?" He glanced at his wristwatch and noticed that it's five minutes past 12 am. He won't deny the fact that he is so worried right now because if anything should befall her, his father will place the blame all on him."Have you seen Genevieve?" He asked a maid whom he saw at the dinning."No sir Eric" she responded with her head bowed.Eric walked past her and went into
Eric barged into her room, held her hand and turned to her, "You smell of alcohol, take your bath and rest" he let go of her hand and to his surprise, Genevieve wrapped her arms around his neck dragging him closer to her."Do you want to leave me Eric?" she whispered to him , giving him the cutest look ever.Eric couldn't help but stare at her, she is beautiful, he can't deny that and the effect she has on him by dragging him so close to her was deeply affecting him in a way he doesn't understand."You are drunk Genevieve, you need to sleep" he replied nonchalantly and tried to let go of her arms around his neck but Genevieve held him tight not letting go."Do not leave Eric, I need you" she
"No way girl! You must be kidding me!" Chloe shouted at the top of her voice with so much shock, her eyes not leaving Gen who was sad on the bed and slowly eating a bowl of cereal."Why on Earth will you let your dream go just because it was that stupid step brother of yours, you shouldn't have Gen, do you want to go back to your struggling agency. See this as fate working in your life and who cares about that scumbag anyway" she let out with anger as Genevieve explained everything to her."I don't want any of that because I don't want him to count favors for me. I want to do it on my own and I believe that if it is fate for me to work in that agency, they will come for me" Genevieve pointed out with so much confidence."Really?"
Genevieve walked towards the house, with her handbag in her hands, she wrapped her fingers around the door knob."Eric, I am back" she let out and turned to the living room. To her shock, she caught Eric kissing a blonde who she quickly recognized to be no one else but Sonia, the freak she beat up at the club.Genevieve was so shocked , she couldn't believe it as she stared at them, her eyes wide open and she could feel her heart winking so deeply with great astonishment."Oh, this bitch, what is she doing here?" Sonia looked at her with so much scorn that it could peel off the skin of Genevieve at any given time."What is she doing here Eric?" Genevieve asked not hiding how shocked she was.&
Genevieve glanced at the wall clock, it was almost time for her to go to the salon. Her throat aches for water and right now, she badly needs one."I need to go get a drink" she said to Eric who nodded, kissed her on the check and concentrated on the movie he was watching.Genevieve walked into the kitchen, she opened up the refrigerator, took out a plastic bottle of chilled water and gulped down half of it's content into her system.With her eyes scanning around the large kitchen, her eyes rested on a piece of paper at the counter. Confused as she wondered who would place it there, Gen walked closer to the counter, picked up the paper."To Genevieve" she muttered as she read the words writte
Genevieve's affirmation of her love for Eric tore Felix into threads. He just stood still, his eyes unable to leave her."You love Eric?" He muttered so shocked that he didn't fail to show it."Yes, I do, I have fallen deeply in love with him and I am certain about that Felix" Genevieve let out with so much assurance that it made Eric's heart bleed more.Now, he is certain that Eric has won him this time around, there is no need for him to confess his feelings to her. He must keep it to himself to avoid being ridiculed and not rejected. He knows that she will realize how deceived she has been and when that happens, he will be open to receive her back into his arms."Wow" he let out with eyes filled
It felt like the whole place didn't exist anymore, Felix glared at his angry brother with a fast beating heart, his head spinning around with so many thoughts as the words of his brother kept ringing in his head non stop."I didn't kill mother" he muttered as the pain of the past came crawling down, "It was an accident, nothing but a freaking accident!" He yelled loudly with hot tears welling up in his eyes as both brothers locked eyes together."An accident?!" "Can you hear yourself? Do you think I am going to let you fool me just the way you fooled father and everyone? No way Felix Never!".A tear dropped from Felix's eyes, "Have you forgotten Eric? I was also in the freaking car the time the accident happened, so how on Earth would I put my life at
Eric stared at his brother looking so aghast, with the look in his eyes, Eric is certain that Felix has found out about his affair with Genevieve and there is no need for him to hide it anymore but first, he must act like he knows nothing of such."What are you talking about Felix? I don't understand you, Genevieve is our sister, what other relationship will I have with her apart from the one you have with her two" he responded coolly but the cold look in Felix eyes told him that his brother knows something."I am not stupid Eric, do not play games with me" Felix snapped, his gaze not leaving his brother."What the fuck are you talking about?""The exact same fuck you are listening to!" Felix
"Eric, you never told me about your dreams, why?!" Genevieve walked into his room, her eyes on Eric who laid on his bed, his eyes fixed on the ceiling."I can't abandon father's company, he needs one of his sons and since Felix can't be the one, I have to" Eric muttered not looking at her, his gaze still on the ceiling."But you can't give up on your dreams and help father continue his, this will make you sad for as long as you breathe knowing that you didn't achieve your dreams"Eric turned to her, "This isn't about me anymore but the family legacy. If I quit and anything should happen to my father, his shareholders will take eighty percent of the company's profit and leave the rest to us which is way too small compared to their profit and you know of course tha
The sound of a car driving into the compound filled her ears. Genevieve got up from her bed and walked towards her window just to know who it might be. Her affair with Eric last night lingered in her and she cannot deny that she is deeply in love with him.She glanced and saw Felix coming out of his car, he had a black suit on which made him very handsome and Genevieve couldn't help the way her heart skipped a bit, not out of love but out of the realization that Felix will find out about her affair with Eric.She walked out of her room and headed down the stairs with her face filled with smiles."Felix" she let out at the sight of him, walked closer and wrapped her arms around him a hug."It'
Gen and Eric's relationship blossomed, they both spent the day watching movies and discussing a lot about themselves."Wow, you are a model?" Eric asked with his fingers stroking her hair lovingly."Yes, I am" Gen responded with a proud smile on her face, "But I hope a successful model agency gets me signed into their company, it will become a dream come true for me".Eric didn't say a word but smiled, he wrapped his arms around her with his fingers, stroking her hair, her words filled his ears.Later that evening, he drove out to hang out with his friends and Gen who was swimming in the ocean of love stayed right at home not able to believe that Eric feels something so great for her, she has
