From what we gathered, they share the best of bond in their early years; I grew up to know the two of them as love birds, they will dance around the house together and often carry themselves out, it was such a relaxing moment. My little sister came a few years after, making us a family of four altogether.

“... And mummy left us to the world beyond, how do we cope without the one who brought us to life? Dad's strongest supporter is gone; family of four has been reduced to three, what fate await children with no mother”, I continued my talkAs strong as Alex was, he himself can't hold back his tears, I could see the merciful side of him, his tears reminded me of my innocence won that hospital bed. How I was lost and did not know what to say or do. Seeing dad cry even made it worse, it was so obvious that nature ha cheated on us.“The doctor walked up to dad and encouraged him to be a man, of a truth, the doctor could feel our pain and empathise with us. We were led outside the house and mum's remain was parked, the end of a journey had come and the rest of us needed to move on”, I continuedAt this point, I could no longer hold my tears again, it became a solemn moment in the room. Alex himself could not look up to my face at this juncture.“So, a burial ceremony was do

“What's happening?” Olivia was asking at the background, are you fine? Is everything okay? She kept on talking...“Don’t be scared”, Alex said laughing. So you aren't even bold, who or what would attack you inside the house, you better be calming down, he said as he sat at the edge of my bed“You scared the hell out of me, more so you did not even knock”, I said still trying to catch my breath.I remembered I was on call with Olivia and I had to reach out to my phone“Olivia, I am fine, we will talk better tomorrow”“You scared the hell out of me, anyway be fine my dear sister, we will talk better tomorrow”.“So Alex, why are you here?”“Okay, so I thought to check up on you before sleeping”, Alex replied“That’s so thoughtful of you Alex, thank you so much, I am fine actually, I never knew the pain is still fresh in my memories”, I affirmed to him“But that was very emotional , I wouldn't have believed you have gone through so much in life, I so sorry for having you ta

“At last”, she is awake, Alex says impressively, “so I thought it right to give you a royal delicacy and treatment as a queen that you are”Still with an open mouth “Alex, this is too much, why have I done to deserve all this treatment? you are indeed golden and amazing, thank you for all you do”I couldn't wait to devour the meal, it was such a nice treat of tasty delicacy. Alex watched till I finished the meal, he won’t even taste out of it, he said it was specially made for me. After the meal, I hurried to the bathroom to get set for work. I wouldn't have known that the stressed me would still have a long night like that.I was in the bathroom when my phone rang, “that must be Olivia”, I said to myself, “she definitely wants to know if I am fine”, I chuckledImmediately I came out of the bathroom, I checked to see who had called, it was my secretary, “what could have happened?” I began to imagine..“Hello Nancy, I missed your call”, I said“Oh!

“See who is zoning my dearly beloved sister all to himself while I sleep and wake up all alone”, Olivia said with a straight face.Alex looking bewildered; “am I safe?”“Oh my God!” I said laughing, “Olivia, you won't change“After living how many decades on earth, what’s there to change into again? “ Olivia replied rhetorically“Meet Oliva, Alex, she is my one and only sister in whom I am always well pleased; Oliva meet Alex, my...... “Alex cuts in.... “It's a pleasure meeting the almighty Olivia, I am Alexander 'Alex' for short, it’s a pleasure meeting you”, he introduced himself“Oh! the day is great for me already, does Mr Alexander need any introduction really, one of the youngest and undoubtedly the brightest CEO in this era”, it’s my pleasure meeting you Sir!

ISABELLA“Good morning ma’am,” My secretary Nancy greeted me as I stormed through the reception headed to my office. I walked into my not so large office and sat on the creaking old wooden chair that belonged to my dad when he was CEO.As I sat on my chair, I finally replied to Nancy. “Good morning Nancy. Has Mr. Parker reached out to us yet?”“Yes ma’am,” My heart began to beat fast as I waited for Nancy to speak up. Mr. Parker is a crucial business partner that I badly needed to get this company back on its feet.“Well, what are you waiting for Nancy, spill it!” I said as I pounded my fists on the table showing my impatience.“He said he’s not interested in our proposition,” She announced, squinting her eyes probably in fear of what my reaction would be.I let out a sigh and stood up from my chair, looking at the tiny window in my office. Mr. Parker was the only option I had to get this company back on its feet. My father’s architecture company wasn’t thriving while he was alive b

ISABELLA“I'm sorry, what?” I asked with a widened eye, shocked by what Alexander had just proposed.“I believe you heard me right, Miss Bennet,” he said with an arched brow and a smirk formed at the corner of his lips.“I did but can you explain all this to me?”“My 30th birthday is on the way and in my father’s will it says that if I haven't gotten married on or before my 30th birthday, I will be removed as CEO,” he explained.“Okay, so why am I your best bet?” I asked still surprised about the whole situation.“You aren't the best bet. I don't even know why you're acting like this. We both know how badly your company needs the partnership. I'm even running at a loss by sparing you some of my clients and getting married to you also,” he said in a rude tone that infuriated me.“I'm sorry, but did you just say marrying me is running at a loss?” I said as I pushed the chair backward and stood up.“I didn't mean it that way. You know what I mean. So please have your seat and tell me if

ISABELLAMy luggage was taken by a staff of Alexander’s. As I walked up the grand staircase to the entrance of the mansion. “Good evening ma’am. You must be Mrs. Isabella,” One of the staff that stood by the entrance greeted me“Yes, I am,”“Alright ma’am, Mr Alexander is inside waiting for you. Allow me to take you to him,” He said as he walked me into the house.“Thank you,”The house was the most beautiful place I had ever been to. The walls were painted white, with golden furniture.It was definitely the house of a rich person. I was greeted by the cool breeze of the air conditioner. My father got us an air conditioner about 20 years ago but it didn’t take long before it got spoilt and he decided not to fix it or buy a new one.The house screamed luxury, from the exquisite paintings to the glass vases filled with different types of flowers.We got to the living room and I met Alexander sitting on a long C-shaped chair facing his 22-inch flat screen tv. “Sir, the lady is around,”

Every day, Alex seen to be going all romantic on me; he kept on showing the side of him that you could never imagine exists, who would have believed this hard man is romantic after all? He has managed to destabilise my guards. I can't believe that I will be so raffled in love with somebody who is more of a partner in a contract and to say he never asked me out. Anyways, I have decided to enjoy the moment as it unfolds.“okay, I hear you”, I followed prompt and followed Alex like a sheep been led to the slaughter slab.Something was however different, I enjoyed some sense of peace anytime I am with Alex than I can ever imagine.After walking for a while in the house, Alex told me to open my eye, lo and behold, we were in his drawing room and on front of me was a sculpture of me he had made. I was completely swept off my feet, how on earth did he do this without even given me any clue. More so,

As John zoomed off, I kept looking at the weird face heading towards the car , the face looked a little familiar but I can't place it and the fact that it's raising curiosity in me makes it more dramatic; I could swore I have seen the face before.“Who is that?” the weird looking man asked Quincy“It's none of your bloody concern, let's go straight to what we are here for”, Quincy responded as she walks“You won't talk to me like that, he said as he walks towards her in anger.“See Nathan, whatever it is we do is strictly limited to what we share, every other place I go, any other thing I do and any every other people I move with is non of your bloody business”, she shouts at him loudly“Oh, I know your plans, you think you can robe me and expose me rig, right? You are bidding, if I go down, we are going down together, get that into your number skull”, Nathan replied“Oh, so you think I will be gullible to tell a third party about this drug deal?

“Whether pay off or not, I choose to enjoy every moment as it unfolds” I snapped back to reality. My sister should hear this. I picked up my phone and dialled her line.“Olivia” I screamed almost immediately she picked the call, consider your father's company back and better, in fact going beyond the level our father left it”“How do you mean Isa” she questioned.Olivia is a meticulous girl who processes information fast and also like gist.

In no time, I was done dressing up. I wore a navy blue gown laced with a red belt radiating with a flow that wasn't ordinary. I kept feeling myself as I walked down the stairs to the garage; John was already there waiting for me. “Good morning Ma”, he said with a thick voice that sounded like a rushing water. This was the first time I am particularly noticing his voice.“Good morning John”! I responded. “You look elegant this morning”, I said to commend his look:; my usual practice to everybody I meet daily.“Thank you ma”, he responded with a smile on his face; I could guess I just made his day with my polite complement. “Where are we heading to”, he asked.“My office of course, today is a money making day”, I said jokingly.John tuned in to a radio station as we journey, the music sounded so absent to me but John seems to enjoy every bit of it; in fact, he literally sang it as it was been played. So many things could have been responsible for my absent mindedness to
