After they were done with lunch,Jane cleared the table and urged Henry to go check on his father.
"Why don't you go check if your dad is okay and tell him we are ready to go"
"Okay will do"he stood up from the chair and went upstairs.
Wilberforce was standing by his window. One could tell that he was in deep thoughts. He was so lost in what he was thinking that he didn't notice Henry come in. Henry knew his father more than anyone that something was definitely troubling him. He walked close to him,but yet still Wilberforce still didn't notice him. He then tapped him on his shoulder which was what helped him out of his thoughts.
Turning around,he sees his concerned looking son. Wilberforce never liked any of his children meeting him in that state, but he as well never wanted to lie to them.
"Dad are you okay?"he asked .
"Almost but yes"
"What could be troubling you then?"
Slightly tapped him

Your house is beautiful just like you"he complimented while sitting down."Thank you.So what can I offer you?"."Nothing. I've already had so much to eat and drink"."Okay"she sat a little bit far from him."And why are you at Los Angeles while I am seated here in New York?"he asked noticing the distance between them.She laughed and drew close to him."
CHAPTER 5(DINNER DATE) Dusk seemed to have overcome the overwhelming light of the sun as it was 8pm already.The atmosphere seemed to have been in favour of Henry as nature blessed the atmosphere with it's cool breeze,and some calmness.Just like Henry who keeps to time,Jane was already prepared for her dinner date with Henry and Henry on the other hand, was outside waiting for her in his car. Moments later,Jane came out from her house dazzling in the hot red dinner gown she wore,her flowing black hair and a light makeup of a red lipstick,eyeshadow, neatly drawn eye brows and eyeliner .Her beauty left Henry astonished and speechless at the same time as he had to come out of his car to get a better view of her.

She picked up her phone and decided to swallow her pride and dial his number.She wanted to hear his voice so bad. "Should I call him or not?"she asked herself. "What if he snubs me?" "Did he forget to call me or what?..." "Goddamn it.It is over a week now" She decided to then take a bold step.She knew obviously that if she didn't call,he wouldn't bother calling. She picked up her phone and
CHAPTER 3(THE INTRODUCTION) Jane was still so excited about her new job that she invited Nina over.She already brought 2 glasses,poured some champagne into it and offered her friend a glass.She was so excited that even Nina was so lost. "I have been sitting her for over 30 minutes and my dear friend has refused to tell what is making her so happy".Nina said . "You won't believe it Nina.Your friend here..."she boasted while turning around for Nina to see her well. "Is now the latest employee of the INFINITY company".she concluded while clapping her hands in excitement. "Oh my God!"She stood up excitedly to hug Jane . "I am so happy for you baby girl.How on Earth did you do it?".she asked enthusiastically. "Well nothing serious,I just got asked a few questions and that's it.It wasn't hard at all" "I am so happy for you and please get ready to spend on me" "No
CHAPTER 2(CHEATED UPON) At the family home of Henry, he doesn't actually live with his family as he was a man that has already paved way for himself.He actually came to be with his dad for a little while.The house which was magnificent in nature,had a basketball court,a gym,and a very big courtyard.His Father Honourable Wilberforce,a divorcee in his early sixties who happened to be a very rich man that deals with petroleum and many other things to his credit is seated with his scotch drink by his side.He has always been a fan of the drink. One could tell by the look on his face that he wasn't in a good mood at all.He can't seem to get over the scene of his wife Gladys cheating on him with one of his business associates. Few years back, he woke up before his wife Gladys,took his bath,brushed his teeth and few minutes later,he was already wearing a suit.He had a flight to catch that ea
CHAPTER 1 (HOW IT STARTED) Nina has always been the type that envies her friend Jane.What is the bone of contention?.Her best friend's man.How did it all start? It was a sunny day at the beach,the sun not so hot was serving its purpose on the skin of people that had come to relax on the beach.Girls in bikinis running around,some people playing at the ocean tide,some lovers acting all romantic and showing affection,kids building sand houses. "Awwnn...look at that....so sexy"says Nina whose attention is solely fixed on lovers showing affection and acting romantic toward each other. "Look at what?"Says Jane who was trying to figure out what it was that was making her friend trip. "The lovers ofcourse...just look at the romantic scene"she says blushing "Stop looking at them like that before they see you which will in turn make them uncomfortable". "I don't care"says Nina,a beau
"What do you mean Nina?"shouted Jane . She had received a call from Ken her ex boyfriend that Nina had broken up with him. On hearing everything he said over the phone,she immediately made straight to Nina's house to confront her. "What do you mean by what do I mean?.You of all people know how much I love Henry." "Who is this Henry guy?.The guy you met at the beach. Now tell me,did your Henry call you after exchanging contact with him?.Did he?''.Jane enraged with fury asked her. "He did not but I did and guess what?.It turned out fine. Finer than I expected. Aren't you supposed to be happy for me Jane?" "Happy over what?.It's not like you and the Henry guy are dating anyway .You just met this guy and you are taking him seriously in this manner. Babe you are insane I swear to God". "Call it whatever you wanna call it. I have made my choice".she was alre
The sound of the birds chirping at the trees blessed the atmosphere,the distant happy screams and laughter of kids playing and the sun smiling at every creature within it's reach. It was a Saturday,Henry had taken Jane to the park for sight seeing. They walked together for awhile. While Jane was enjoying the view and having the fun of her life,Henry was staring at her.He had something he wanted to say to her but he felt the words he was about to say weren't constructed well enough for her to hear. Jane noticed his absence in the conversations that she brought up countless times then she paused and looked at him. He was indeed not present. She decided to converse with him. "I noticed you have been quiet since we got here"she said. "It's really nothing. I brought you out here to have fun". "And I am not. So how about that?. "I am sorry"he said with his face downwards. She knew that something wasn't right and wanted to find

Slightly tapped him
Henry and Jane got to his father's house. Jane couldn't believe her eyes at the magnificence of Wilberforce's house."Wow!"she exclaimed as she got out of the car."It's so big"her mouth still agape."My dick or the house?"he teased."Mr Henry I meant the house. You just like teasing me."she frowned her face."I'm sorry beautiful. You just make me happy"he said as he cupped her face in his hands which made her smile."I like it when you say that"she said."Shall we?"reminding her that they were to go inside."Oh..."They walked into the house which was another level of beauty on its own. The shiny chandeliers,the gold colour curtains,the flower vase,the paintings on the wall,the furnitures were what caught her eyes at that moment."This house is beautiful."she complimented, almost like she was talking to herself."Not as beautiful as you.I'll be right back"he left to sought for his dad.
"I was ummm...ummm..."she knelt down,knowing fully well that she wasn't going to win the fight."I am sorry. I don't know what came over me"she begged as she knelt on the floor.Henry was short of words, could this be the woman he wanted to marry. The same woman he introduced to his dad. He felt embarrassed and could only stare at her in dissapointment."Do you still want to marry her son?" Wilberforce asked,not like he didn't know what Henry's response was going to be but he wanted to give him the right to choose what he wanted."Never!"Henry replied coldly as he walked away from them.Vivian who was devastated tried to hold him back but couldn't get a grip on him. She started shedding tears."You are lucky it's not so late. You have the chance to pack your things and leave my house and my son without being punished this very minute or live to face my wrath ".She wanted to keep apologizing but the serious look in the f
"Are you okay sweetie?"asked Henry who was concerned at his girlfriend's countenance which was not so bright."I'm fine baby. Just a minor issue."she said as she sat down on the couch."She is crazy."almost like she was talking to herself."What did she say?"She looked at him and drew close to him making it possible for their faces to almost collide,then she stared straight into his eyes."She said I should let her have you for herself"she replied coldly with a frown on her face.Henry found what she said rather amusing and he couldn't help but laugh at the drama that was unraveling before him."Is this joke?"he asked still laughing at the subject."I never knew it was this serious"the smile still not dissappearing from his face."Now you think this is funny" replied Jane who thought that her man was taking everything she was saying for a joke."Not really...but...gosh!I don't even know her. I
CHAPTER 12 ( THE MISUNDERSTANDING 1)An angry and enraged looking Nina sat on her couch trying to assimilate the scenario she experienced earlier. She couldn't believe what she saw nor what her heart was telling her."How could this be?. How is this possible?. Jane my best friend betrayed me and took my man from behind me. And even had the guts to invite me for an introduction. How could she?"she yelled on top of her voice,throwing away the pillows sitting besides her on the couch."I will make her pay for this. I will so make her pay for this"she said to her herself conclusively.Confused Jane and Henry were seated in the home of Henry conversing on what happened earlier at the restaurant."Do you have any idea what the problem was or should I say is?. Because I am confused."Henry asked,trying to figure out what the problem was."She looked like she knew you. Do you know her?.""Ofcourse I know her. I met he
"It's a lie. Tell me that all you have said here right now is a joke"Nina inquired excitedly."It's not a lie. We did it.""What must have made you Jane Williams the almighty virgin of the planet give your stuff away like that. He must have been really worth it.""Yeah...I have never felt this way before Nina. I know it seems like everything happened so fast but my heart accepts the way it's going gradually. I love him. Funny enough,he has the same name as your beach boy crush who I have never met before"Jane laughed."Speaking of which...when are you gonna introduce me to your new boyfriend?"asked Nina inquisitively."Tomorrow night. I already told him about you and he is anticipating to meet you as well. It's gonna be a dinner night for 3""I really can't wait to meet him. and I am so happy for you Jane. It is such a relief to see you in love and happy"."Thanks"she smiled.The following day, Nina
It was a very long night for Jane and Henry. They didn't know when it was dawn. It was few minutes past 9 in the morning and that was when Henry got up. He looked at the beauty laying down beside him. She was still so beautiful even though she was fast asleep. He covered her with the duvet because they slept naked all night. He then kissed her on the forehead before he put on his short and went downstairs to prepare some food.Few minutes later,he was able to prepare bread and tea for her as breakfast. He brought the tray containing butter,omelet,bread and tea to her and placed it by the bed side before he woke her up."Sleeping beauty...it's time for you to wake up"She woke up and smiled on seeing his face."Good morning" she greeted."Morning my angel. Hope you slept well?""Yeah I did. How about you?"she asked."I have never slept well in a long while until last night" he replied.Sh
It was night already and Henry thought for it to be a perfect opportunity to get Jane to know his house. " It's time for you to know my house"Henry said. " Really?"she was excited to hear that from him. " Yeah...you are my woman now and it's only right for you to know where I stay". " Okay so is it your family house or your own house?" She asked " Not my family house. My house. I will take you there whenever you want to. Or do you wanna go there now?" " No not yet. Let's go to your house" she smiled. " You are always beautiful. Your smile is everything". She could only smile more. Few minutes later,they got to his house. Henry's house was a magnificent building.It was a house made of glass,the corners were painted in white. The floors were made with marble It had a pool,and a small field. It was a beautiful house for a bachelor. Jane on seeing the house couldn'
