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 never knew there would be a day like this in her life, she stood in front of her boss's office, after she knocked. "Come in." The voice from inside said." What can I do for Miss Mikka?" George asked. "Sir, I need a favour from you please," Brielle said."So what is it about?" he asked."Ehmm, the thing is" the words were stuck her my throat. "I was wondering if you could, pay me some months salary in advance" "Why, should I, you know that's impossible,based on the agreement you signed."

"So, what's this all about?" George brought out his phone and sent something to Michael. "I want you to draft a contract for me. Make it tight, I didn't want any loophole." "What's this all about, I don't understand. Do you mind to lesson me about it?" George went on and told Michael how he intends to fulfill his grandmother's wish by marrying his secretary on paper, and pay her bills in return." "How sure are you that she will accept this offer?""She will, she sounded desperate when she came to me, and I also inquired from the doctor, the cost of everything, she can't even cover it with the amount she is r

George answered."How" "She rejected the offer at first, I was damned when she wanted to leave, she would gotten news from the hospital that they are done with the surgery, and that will make her not to sign again." "You're lucky bro. So you are a married man now, Congratulations""I don't have time for your jokes now , see you later."

George was having a good time in the bar with Michael before he went to the hotel. The following day being Sunday, when Brielle returned from the hospital and she didn't see George. She made breakfast for herself and retired to her room to get some sleep. She woke when she heard some noise, and went downstairs."You must be Pappy's wife" Yaya asked George. Brielle scrunched her eyes."Yaya, stop" George said, "stop using that name already, am not longer a kid." "Who is Pappy?" Brielle asked finding the situation and the name amusing."That's my name for your husband, he didn't tell you?" Yaya, said smiling. Brielle started laughing."He didn't tell me, it's such a cute name." Brielle said, only to receive a glare from George."Yeah, he liked the name when he was small, he even insisted that his mother call him that also." Yaya said."I like the name." Brielle said."Pardon my manners,I got carried away by the joke, George has told me a lot about you." Brielle became confused,and loo
Today, Nana is being discharged, Brielle called a taxi. They got to their house. She stayed a while with Nana, after much persuasion from Nana, she told her how she got the money for her surgery, Nana cried blaming herself for it. "Nana it's okay, you just recovered you shouldn't be stressing yourself.""Elle am very sorry." "Nana I love you, I know you will do same for me if you were in my shoes. Don't beat yourself for it too much, it's just a matter of six months.""Six months is too much Elle." "I will be visiting regularly." She stayed for few minutes, before she left. George saw her outside and decided to wait for her at the door. "Where have you been." George asked her at the door. "Hell no, not again. George please not now. Am tired please.""Then why did you have to leave without telling me.""You locked your door, and refused to open when I knocked."George remembered when he heard a knock on his door, but called it a bluff.

Mr. Rowan provided the names of those who were involve in the project. "Are you sure this is all the names?""Yes." "Have this people waiting for me in the conference room." Mr. Rowan left. "So, what next." Micheal asked."I want you at the conference room with me, and Brielle go and wait for them, make sure they drop their phone before entering." George gave out command. Brielle left immediately to the conference room, and did as instructed. When the workers got to the conference, they were surprised, when they were asked to drop their phones, they seven in number, this caused a murmuring between them. They quietened down when George and Micheal came in. "I will like to know which one of you here forged my signature." The room became dead drop silence. They were looking at each with confusion. "If no one comes up, and I later find out that the culprit is here, that person will regret having a thought of crossing me."Ten minutes, none of them came, George was smart enough t
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.

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
