Despite how anxious I feel, I followed Andre behind calmly. I am trying to meet his long strides. As if noticing my discomfort in doing that, he stops walking all of a sudden, I almost run into him in my attempt to catch up with him.
When I am beside him, he stretches his left hand out to me. I take it as an invitation to put my hands in his and I make sure it did lose the opportunity to hold his hand even if it is for the public. I smile in gratitude and place my hand into his, then we walk towards the hall where the press conference is going to take place, with our hands interlocked.
I wish this is all true but I know it isn't. Andre is a caring man that any woman will love to have. My admiration for him has increased this past few months. The way he shows me care as if I am all that matters is enough to make I fall for him even more.
He is doing all this for me, in spite of his busy schedules and prestige. He is doing it for me so I can be h

CHAPTER 43Andre doesn't answer for a while, thinking if he should let me come up for my own interview. I am hoping he will say a loud "yes, I do mind". When he turns to look at me, I know he is looking for a sign from me, to know if I want it or not. I want to shake my hand so he can say yes to the presenter, but I am finding it hard to shake in the midst of the people who are watching my every move.Just sitting here watching Andre, knowing the interview is about me and I am the center of attraction, I am trying so hard to remain calm. I know if I go up there, I might do something embarrassing, like tripping so I will end up falling face down or stammering or saying something totally out of line. I can't do this.Andre says something to the presenter."Miss Standford, will you mind coming up stage?" She ask loudly and I feel like attacking Andre.Can't he see how much I am struggling to sit here? Can't he just use his instinct to know I am

CHAPTER 44 My phone’s continuous ringing wakes me up from my night rest. Argh, who is disturbing me on a Saturday morning. I flutter my eyes open, pick up the phone from my side drawer to see the caller id . It should be mom calling but when I see Andre's name, my eyes open wide. Why is he calling me again? Today is Saturday, isn't it? Can’t I have a Andre free day? All this spending time together is taking a toll on me. I drop the phone and snuggle into bed, covering my head with the comforter. After a while, my phone rings again and I sigh. I know I will no longer be able to sleep again. I really do not feel like talking to Andre today. What happened between us yesterday is still bugging me. I was thinking about how I am in love with my boss over Till I slept off yesterday night. Mom called me lastnight, as if knowing I needed someone to talk to, someone to tell me what to do. Ev

CHAPTER 45After Andre left yesterday he didn't call me and I didn't call him even when I knew I should have called. What was I expected to say to him if I had called? Monday went by a blur too. He hardly acknowledged my presence. He made it all about work and this made me realize the how used to his compliments I was. It was like a drug I was addicted to and I needed it. I should be the one to stop this, I should have explained to him and never had allowed him to leave on Saturday, angry. I've never seen him angry at me. Andre sent me a message yesterday after work, asking me to prepare to go see his parents this evening. I wanted to send him a message back to tell him I won't be going but I know it was going to sound wrong. He was doing all this for me. I should be kind to him, not rude and dramatic. I have to apologise. I take a shower after resting a while when I get back from work before going over to my closet to look f

CHAPTER 46I am on my way back to my office after going to a meeting with Andre to Elect Companies Limited.When he drove me off home, two days ago after the dinner with his family, I walked out without saying a word to him. He tried to follow me but I told him to go home before slamming the door on his face.At work, we don't talk to each other when alone, except when people are around. I feel bad for ignroing him but I am trying to do that because I really want to get rid of my feelings for him. I should talk to him and apologised for Saturday but I didn't because him being angry makes it easier to ignore him. I miss talking to him, I miss his kisses. When he is not around, I always feel like seeing him but when I see him, I will begin to feel angry for no reason. I try to blame it on my hormones but I know I'm more angry at myself for falling in love right out of a terrible relationship.T

CHAPTER 47The ringing sound of my phone wakes me up from my sleep. I sit upright and rest my head on the headboard before picking the call. It is Rob calling."Hello sis", he greets."Robert, how are you?" I ask him. I have forgotten about the therapy I wanted to plan for him. Everything has been a little overwhelming. I feel bad. Why can't I just be a good sister for once? Rob is supposed to come this week and I am sure he is calling because I haven't called him. I promised to call him last week."I'm cool, sis. You still sleeping?""Yeah. But I'm awake now.""Erhhmm...Freya", he stutters. I know he has something to tell."What is it, Rob?""I'm no longer coming to visit you, Freya", his voice is down."What? Why? Is It because I didn't call as promised?""No, that's not it. I know why you want me to come.""Why?""I heard mom telling Johnson that you want me to meet with a therapist. It's no

CHAPTER 48Andre sees the look on my face and grabs the phone from me. He reads the message and he stares at me for a while before he says, "Let's go."He stands up holding my hand, I take a hold of my purse and follow him to the counter where he pays for the food before we leave. We walk outside to his car. He opens the door for me and asks me to get in, before he walks to the driver's seat.My mind is in turmoil. Why does Baxter like ruining my happy moments? Why can't he just let me be?"Freya?" He shakes me."Andre", I glance at his worried face."You have to calm down, love. It's ok. So I want you to breathe in and out, ok?"I nod and exhale deeply. I realize I am barely breathing."You don't need to panic.""Ok", I inhale and exhale again."Is it working?" He ask me.I shake my head. I'm still finding it hard to breathe properly. He place his hand on my waist and pull

The doctor fixed another appointment for me so he can ascertain the actual sex of the baby.Now that Baxter is still claiming the baby is his and is talking about mailing me the court papers, how do I go about it?

CHAPTER 50“No, no. It's fine” I quickly add."Are you serious?" He looks surprised that I am agreeing to go with him to his house. He doesn't know I want it too. I want to see him shirtless and comfortable in his own home. I want to see how he does his things and I want to sleep beside him on his bed and cuddle with him just like he does for me too."Yes, of course, as far as I will have something to eat over there", I reply to him."Waw!" He mutters and swirls the car round to go the other way. He is smiling to himself and his smiles seems to be contagious because I am smiling too."I'm not going to cook, that's one of the conditions", I am trying to play hard."Don't worry, I will cook. After all, I promised you a date", he answers me."What?" I didn't know he could cook. "You know how to cook? I thought you were going to order something or_""I will cook for you, beautiful.""Uhmm, really?""Really

Scared I stay still and let the tears fall. He’s going to kill me. This is how I’m going to die. He caresses my face with a smirk.“I always wondered what you saw in him but I see it now. He’s rich and you want all of his money” He started. I shake my head no. I don’t want his money you asshole I thought.“Tell your husband I will be coming for what’s mine” He informs me.

“Where do I begin?” He asks.“How did you meet her? Did she work for you?” I ask. He nods.“Ok. So Samantha and I have been friends for years now. Since I was a teenager and when dad he was thinking of opening a new company in New York I was excited because I had started learning about family business. I hoped to work for him. With Samantha’s help we were both able to convince dad to let us take charge of this new company. We were still teenagers so we couldn’t help with the building but dad let us think of different ideas. This was when our ‘love’ started. I think spending more time trying to mix business and school together made us closer than we were. We thought of the name for the new company until we decided A&S. Dad was glad we came up with a decision. Our plan was to become partners but my sister wasn’t too happy about this. She claimed Samantha was after the money but we were both teenagers I

“No” I groan when Andre taps me again for the thousandth time. He laughs.“Baby. You will have to stand up eventually” He explains.“I know. Must it be now?” I ask.“No love but I have plans that requires you to stand up now” This time he pulls me up.“Argh Andre you don’t love me anymore” I whine when I seat up and rest my back on the head board.“Never question my love for you Freya because I love you but I really need you to stand up” He begs. I roll my eyes at him.“I’m up. Aren’t I?” I ask him. He smiles and places a small kiss on my lips.“Yes you are. Thanks” He smiles moving to stand up. I pull him back by his neck and place my lips on his. He does not waste time to return my kiss. His hands now on the bed caging me in.“That’s a big temptation love but we need to start our day” He sa

After dinner and Andre realised I will not admit his food tastes better, he gives up and lays on the bed.“You’re forgetting something” I remind him but he still looks very lost.“You promised me a message” I frown at him. He sighs.“Fine,” he says and I jump on him making him scream.“Fuck! Freya” he protests and I laugh, making a move to stand up. He sits up and stretches.“Argh Freya, what's got you this excited?” He asks.“You” I whisper to him.“You know I must say you're good with your words” is he really saying that?. He has the best words ever. I only grin as I remove my PJs and lay bare naked on the bed. Andre checks through his bag and brings out a bottle of oil. He walks over to the bed and kneels above my head. I am laying with my back on the bed.

I smile at him“Why did you do that?” I ask him.“Because I wanted to and I can” He answeres smiling back at me.“Who says you can” I decide to tease him.“I did” I laugh at him.“What about my permission” I tease further.“You always want me to kiss you love” He replies to me and I blush. He's not wrong.“That blush on your face shows that I am right” He grins.“Whatever. I’m not going to miss this flight because of you” I say smiling. I carry my box and bag and he does the same. After going through all the necessary procedures we both wait. Our flight was called for takeoff so we both run to catch up. Entering the plane I smile quickly taking the window seat and Andre sits beside me. I've never travelled, o

“Mmm,” I whimper still swirling at my face.“What is the problem?” he asks mildly, sitting up on the bed to scoot close to me.“Nothing just...just__” I break down again in tears. He holds me to himself and let me cry all I want. After some time, I look at him“I couldn't sleep. I keep thinking about my ex and all he did to me” I sniff. He reaches out to the side table to bring out a napkin which I use to dab at my eye. “ He abused me so much Drè. I don't know how am ever going to forget what that monster did to me. They were horrible, horrible things.” this is not the first time am saying anything about her ex to him. He knew about Baxter but not everything the scumbag did to me.

I open my mouth to say something but he tightens his lips and shakes his head at me.” just close it” he says again. Seeing that he's serious, I close my eyes but not entirely. I peek at him from under my thick dark lashes“You are cheating. If you won't obey, then you are not ready for the surprise” He surmises and comes back to sit on the bed. I raise my hands up “No no no am sorry... Please go ahead” I clamour, his face causing my heart to flutter.He looks at me for some time to make sure I wasn't going to want to open my eyes again.

I smile as I look at my husband with his eyes closed still in a deep slumber. My mind went to last night the way I was squirming under him when we were entangled in our blissful moment. As I think about it now I can't help but feel that everything is thrilling.I still can't believe that Andre is my husband. My smile becomes wide “Yes!” I say, slightly covering my mouth so that I won't wake him up. I stretch my hand to brush the stray hair that had fallen to his face. He is so beautiful even in his sleep.I yawn and gently climb out of the bed.I enter the bathroom to ease myself. As am coming out, Andre stretches his hands up and yawns probably to release tensed nerves. He looks at me and smiles.“Good morning beautiful ,” He says to me. My cheeks become red and I hide my face away. I was thinking by now I would get used to us, but from what am seeing, am still very shy around him.&nbs

CHAPTER 60I believe every repentant or good person deserves to be happy. We all have our shortcoming and imperfections and that is what makes us human. I have been given a chance to be happy, despite all that has happened, despite my imperfections. I judged Rob and Johnson wrongly without sitting Rob down to hear him out and without studying Johnson well enough to know who he really is before judging him.If I have not been given a chance to be happy again, then I won't be here, walking down the aisle in Jonhson's arm to become the wife of no other person than my very own heart desire. The only man whose voice can wake me up from whatever slumber I fall into. The only man that understands my silence, even when my mom is trying hard to figure out what it means. The only man that is patient and kind and understanding. The only man that can accomodate all my excesses, my moodswings and bad behaviour.I am walking down the aisle right down, my left hand in Johnson's arm
