Brielle was dumbstruck with his words, he thinks she is angry with him."George I wasn't angry at you.""Then what is." He closed the space between them and held her shoulder. "You see ehhmm, I was thinking of Frederick reaction when I tell him all this thing.""You don't have to think too much, about just allow everything to take its course."She sighed in relief, she never knew he will but her lies. "So why didn't you use my card." "I didn't see it necessary to use your card to buy personal stuff.""Did I place a limitation of what you can buy in that card.""No.""Then it's free for whatever you want to buy.""I'm sorry.""For what?""For lying to you, and ignoring you in the car.""You can make it up to me." "Get out of here, I knew it will end like this." She laughed and pushed him out of her way. "You knew, why are you acting surprised.""I'm not discussing that with you." She saw him coming closer to her, and ran into the bathroom and locked it. "That isn't the safest pl
"Let's go." They both left the company, George gave her time to take in what happened, before he asked her anything.She laid on the bed, immediately she got in their suite, George laid beside, rubbing her back."How do you feel?" "Tired, I want to sleep." He closed the gap between them, and cuddled her. When he was sure she had slept, he left her and went to his laptop to work. Few minutes later, his phone rang. He moved to the balcony."You finally called." "How is she?""She is sleeping at the moment.""I want to see her." "That's her decision to make.""Which hotel are you lodged in?""I think you should give her some time, maybe tomorrow you will see her.""I will call you tomorrow then."Brielle woke up and everywhere around her was dark. George wasn't in the room, she picked her phone and called George."Where are you?""A minute, you will see me there." She cut the call and sat up on the bed, scrolling through her phone, she decided to call Nana."How did it go?""Okay." "
Brielle emerged out of the bathroom, and saw George sitting on the bed. "When did you get in?""Just now." He let out a light huff of breath, "Come here." He made her sit on his lap. "What did you eat?""I didn't have anything, I wanted to have dinner with you.""That's my good girl, and I'm starving." he buried his face in the crook of her neck as he kissed her. She moaned, "George I need to eat." "You will eat, I have ordered food for you." He slipped his hand under her top, running his hands up to her breast, and twitched her nipple. "George, please stop." He gave no heed to her words and continued playing with her body. He was interrupted by the doorbell. "Oh shit stop, that must be room service." He let her go and she ran towards the door. The food was pushed in a trolley. "Why all this food?""For dinner.""Do you intend to finish this?""With you, stop standing there and get over here." she hauled to his side, they uncovered the food, and dug in."What did he say to you?"
"Brielle, meet the rest of the family members, this Sapphire my daughter." He nods towards Sapphire's. "Clifford and their mother, there is one more person for you to know, but she isn't here." She nodded. "Ford, what's all this?" Lucy yelled."What's what?""This whole game here.""Nobody is playing a game here, if you think it's a game then you need to sleep and wake to realize it's not.""For how long have you known about her." he ignored her, and faced Brielle, he noticed that she was nervous, and took her hands in his, rubbing the back of her palm."It's so good to have another sister in the." Before Clifford could complete his sentence, Sapphire punched his arm.Lucy left the room, and Sapphire pursued after her."Mom, what's all this?" "Are you seriously asking me that, go ask your father." She was rooted at a spot watching her mother pace the hallway. "I need air." Lucy went outside hysterically. Sapphire watched her mother parting figure before going back to the living roo
"Yes everything is the problem, you could have discussed this with me, before bringing her over here." "This is my house, and I don't need your consent to bring anybody here." "It's enough you two, Ford she will start giving her the respect she deserves as your wife?" "The day she will learn to mind her business." "She is your wife, you don't expect her to overlook things?""This is my house.""Same way it's hers." "Oh Mother can we just stop this whole drama, I have somewhere important to be." He saw Brielle coming down the stairs. "Are you ready?" She nodded. "I'm not done talking to you.""This discussion isn't necessary." Brielle stands there gaping at them, Lucy glares at her. She dismissed her and stared at her new grandmother, she was the reason why all this happened, she was in the way of two lovers. "It's nice meeting you." "I can't say the same here." Brielle didn't know she blurted it out, this was what she had practiced in her mind to say to her when they meet, but
"Ford she is just trying to tell her something that will benefit her, I'm sure you have heard about his reputation with women, it won't be good to have a member of this family join in the chain of women he has used.""Sapphire leaves this place." "What!!!? The mother and daughter chorused at the same time. "Ford you can't be serious, she was only saying her mind." "Sapphire, I won't repeat myself, leave this table. I see you didn't come here to eat, when you are to eat you can join us." Brielle opened her mouth to say something, but when her eyes met with Frederick, he shook his head for her not to.Sapphire angrily stood up and shoved her seat to the ground. Lucy frowned at her husband, and followed her daughter, the remaining three had their breakfast. "Brielle, come with me." They walked to his office."I'm sorry about what she said to you.""You don't have to apologize for her." "She went overboard." "I understand, and I wasn't expecting them to welcome me with an open hand.
"Ready, one, two, go." The duo jumped inside the water. They raced to the other end of the pool."Yeaaaah, I won." "Man is getting flimsy." "Let's go again." They swam back to the end again. Brielle stretched out fast before him, she watched Frederick get out of the water, to sit beside her. Something caught her eyes as he leaped to her side."What happened to your shoulder?" She watches intently."This, oh I had an accident.""When? How?""I think it's karma, nature decided to pay me a visit for killing her.""Didn't say that, when did it happen?""The day I went to see her, and for the news of her death, I was coming back, my eyes were getting murky after crying, and I drove myself that day, I didn't see the incoming vehicle and it ran into me.""So sorry, you could have covered it up.""After I recovered, I grew to like the mark.""Why?""It reminded me of her." Brielle chuckled."You are such a great lover." he giggled at her words. "Some will get surgery because they want to fo
The duo went back to Lucy's room, the knock on the door interrupted them."Come in." "Mom, can you help me out with some cash?""I don't have enough now.""Mom!!" The two chorused"What!!?"It was just last week, what happened to the money." "I don't think I owe you two explanations on how I spend my money.""You can simply say, you don't want to give me, you were credited last week.""That was last week, this is a new week."Clifford's mood dampened, his mother was his last resort, after his father refused to give him his allowance earlier than the designated time. He knows Sapphire would not loan him cash. He strode out of the room. "I will give you some cash, if you do my bidding." He stopped at her words. "Are you being serious?""Yes.""Ok what do you want me to do, assassinate, rob the bank or buy drugs for you." "You moron, it's totally different from that. Ok here is the deal, there is a number I need you to get." "From where?""Brielle's phone." "What!! How do I get my
He walked over to her slowly, not removing his eyes from hers. Brielle stood certified on her spot, she never expected him to be here so soon. “George.” She called out not knowing what to do at that moment, whether to jump on him, she was excited seeing him after such a long time, but she tried to hold her excitement because the situation didn't call for it.He walked over to her standing a foot away from her, they could feel each other breath.“Let's go inside.” She blurted when they stood there for some time, before she could comprehend what was happening, he drew her closer to his chest and hugged her.“I missed you.” He said as he ran his finger on her back, Brielle was lost in his scent and wished not to be separated from him again. But it eventually had to come to an end, he detached from her and held her hand leading her inside.“Hi, Dad.” She greeted when she saw her Dad sitting in the living room. “How was your date?” He asked trying to get a reaction from George, and he su
Brielle was surprised at how she anticipated seeing him.“Does this mean that I missed him?” She asked herself. “No, I didn't” She pinched her cheeks, her phone rang bringing her out of her thinking, and her stomach slipped immediately after seeing the caller.“Hi.” She said when she picked up the call.“How are you?” “I'm fine.”“I got your test.” She sent him a ‘thank you’ test for allowing her to stay in his place and that she would be staying in her father’s house.She hesitated before she answered.“Yeah.”“Elle, can we meet up today?” She gave it a thought, not knowing what to say, what if George arrives while she is out to meet him?“I'm still here.”“Huh, sorry about that, yeah we can meet.” She said before she could even give it another thought.“Ok, I will pick you up in the next few minutes.”“Yeah, ok bye.” The call disconnected, and she stared at herself in the mirror, she never planned on seeing him so soon, until she got her life together and solved things out with Ge
“Elle, please listen to me.” George let out immediately as she picked up the call. The other side went quiet at his words. “I'm really sorry for the way everything is playing, all I'm asking is that we meet, I want to tell you everything, I want you to see the truth in all of this, which will be better if we meet.”She didn't reply and disconnected the call, she stared at her phone like it was a foreign object, before dropping it and going into the bathroom not before making a mental note to call Nana when she comes out.She stepped out of the bathroom a few minutes later and picked up her phone to call Nana. “Nana.” She called out immediately the call line connected.“Elle, you scared me.”“I'm sorry, I wasn't thinking right and left.”“I understand, but try to kill this old woman before her time, she has a lot to do.” Brielle giggles at her words.“Nana, you are old, what else do you plan to do?”“Witness you walk down the aisle and then carry your baby.” Brielle ran her fingers a
She heard a knock on her door, and she took in a deep breath before going to open the door, knowing who was behind it.“Just hear me out, please.” She blurted immediately she opened the door and saw him standing there.“I'm so sorry the way things turned between us, I never wished it happened this way.” It was like she couldn't remember all the have practiced to tell him, nothing was coming out of her mouth again. She stood rooted at her spot gaping at him.“I understand, I also wish my heart didn't have to make such a decision, I'm sorry for allowing you to get in my head.” Brielle felt bad at his words, she was all ready to give him a try but with her present situation, it would be impossible.“Noah please don't say it like that, I wish this was another circumstance I would have accepted you, but with my present condition I can't.”“Brielle I knew of your condition before pouring my heart to you.” “No, you don't about it, how would it make you feel if I accepted your request while
“This Is Brielle.”“Oh.”“Is Noah with you?”“Yes.”“Could you please give him the phone?”“He is sleeping right now, after going on and on about how you are avoiding him because he confessed to you about how he feels.”“I wasn't avoiding him, I was only trying to get my shit life together and face him.”“You should tell him that when he returns.”“When is he coming back?”“I don't know, but he thinks leaving the house will give you the space you want and make you move freely.”Brielle felt bad instantly at his words.“Please when he gets up, tell him to call me, I want to speak with him.”“I will do just that.” She disconnected the call immediately and slumped in her bed.Everything seemed to be happening so fast, she taking the risk to confess her love to George, only to walk in on the most unimaginable news, and then Noah, she didn’t know why he chose to do this at this vulnerable time, her stomach churned to remind of another problem she was facing, she felt nauseous and ran to th
Brielle was perplexed after last night's event, she never expected Noah to go about the whole situation in that manner, he didn't allow her to say anything, asking her to think about it. She stayed awake the whole of the night trying to digest the whole situation happenings in her life. She was overwhelmed by her growing feelings for him, but her heart still aches whenever she remembers George.“I wish things didn't go this way.” She held her hair tightly, groaning.“I can't even look him straight in the eyes.” She stayed in bed most of the morning lamenting the way things turned out.The knock on her door brought her back from reverie. She walked reluctantly to the door, knowing the person behind it. “You should come down and eat, you have been up all night.”“Huh.” She let out, surprised how he knew. “I will be down in a few minutes.” She shut the door immediately and leaned her back against it. “Shit he knew, but how.” She smirked at nobody before dashing into the bathroom to ge
“Have you been able to reach out to her yet?” Michael asked George who sat behind his desk working on his system.“I think I will give her a little time to get over all the drama.” He replied.“Do you know where she is now?” “She flew out of the country, probably she is with her father.” “I think you should try to reach out to her now.”“I would like to do this the way I wish.”“Anything that goes well for you.” Michael left his office with that. George decided to give Brielle a space after he found out last night that she left the country. Maybe it will help her to calm down. ***************“It's been two days, won't you ask why I'm here?” Brielle asked Noah as they had their dinner. “I believe you tell me when you are comfortable.” She shrugged it off and continued with her food, she was surprised by his action, she expected him to throw questions at her, but he kept his calm and didn't bother her. She wanted him to ask her what the problem was, she wanted to see him care, but
“I'm here to see George.” “And who are you?” The Secretary sized Sapphire, “And any appointment with him?”She glared at him and walked towards the office.“No no, you can't just go to his office.” He ran from his desk to stop her, but before he could get to her, she sprinted and ran into the office. “What the hell are you doing here?” George half yelled when Sapphire burst into his office.“I'm sorry sir.” The secretary apologized. “And you let her pass you, I don't think you need this job anymore if you can't handle an intruder.”“I'm so sorry sir.” he apologized again with his head bowed, scared to stare at him in the eyes. “I think you should face me, not him.”“And what the hell do you think you are doing in my office?”“Ohh, I knew it, I was a fool to be nothing to your promises.” The secretary took that as his cue to leave.“Just leave now, we will sought everything out later.”“No no, I ain't going anywhere, we will talk here and now, and I demand answers to my questions,
Brielle woke up all sore, she felt a heavy hand draped around her waist, she noticed George stir, and she closed her eyes again. She missed his touch the seconds he removed his hand from her waist, but she refused to open her eyes. “When will you be tired of pretending?” She closed her eyes tight, she felt him peck her on her lips, he lingered on her lips for quite a time.“Get off me.” She jerked up from the bed, pushing his chest.“I thought that's what you wanted.” He smirked, and she rolled her eyes at him. She tried to get down from the bed, but her legs betrayed her, and her thighs were hurting. She knew she needed his help to get to the toilet, but she was hesitant to ask him.“Do you need my help?”“You wish, I could get there by myself.”“Are you sure, 'cause I thought I heard you hiss?”“Quite well, thanks.”He turned and continued working with his laptop. “I thought you wanted to leave the room.”“You want me gone?”“No, yes.” She answered confused, as she couldn't bear t
