CHAPTER 33
I woke up on the good side of the bed today. I had no idea why I was happy. Maybe because I now knew my baby is going to be a baby boy. Something I had being anxious to figure out and now that I know I don't even know where to begin. At this point, I will need my mum to help because the only person I know here that will be willing to help does not know I am pregnant. It is very selfish of me to do. Over the past months, Andre has made his interest in me obvious. He didn't tell me he liked me or anything but I just had the feeling and I feel like I have been leading him on? I'm I? I like him too so I'm not I try to convince myself so I would feel better about myself.I am just at peace with myself and happy. I know seeing my baby boy has helped reduce a little of my fear about the future. I do not know what the future holds for me and the baby but I am optimistic. Even though the baby's father is a motherfucker.
I whistle in the bathroom, as
CHAPTER 34"What the hell are you talking about Michelle?" I ask angrily sh just walked into my office to call me names. A game she was not ready for. I can't even think of the reason why she hates me for no reason ever since I started working here. And why will she call me a wannabe? It reminds me of what Rob said to me. I don't want my day to be spoilt by some spoilt brat like Michelle so I relax back in my chair, fold my arms around my bosom and gaze at her.She moves closer, with the smirk. She sit down in front of me and ask, "Do you know I am happy?" I only stare at her, without uttering a word.What is my business with whether she is happy or not? Whether happy or sad doesn't give her the right to call me a slut. I am only trying to refrain myself from grabbing her hair and pushing her out of my office, that is one of the things forbidden in the company. No fighting, Andre had emphasized.She relax in her seat too, just like I did. "When you came to this c
CHAPTER 35Yeaterday's event was making me have a mixed feeling of dread and hope. I am scared it will repeat itself again. As much as I did not want to think of it, I did. That type of situation is not easy to just let go of. It is obvious the hatred Michelle has for me is deep and there is absolutely nothing I can say to win her over. I didn't even want to but she has to stop calling me names. Isn't she supposed to like me for leaving the stupid Baxter for her? She can have him all to herself, I don't care.I know I am going to see her the moment I enter the company before heading to my office. I alight from my car and I enter the office, I plaster a smile on my face and saunter in with confidence.My heels is making a clacking sound attracting the attention of Michelle at the front desk and one other girl that I have never seen before. My smile widen and I say to them, "Good morning.""Good morning, slut", Michelle and the girl smile.The smile on my face vanish an
CHAPTER 36Fear,That is what I am feeling. What does he want? Reopen old wounds? Take my baby from me. He does not know. Nobody does."I came to see you darling”, he smiles broadly at me."Will you please leave my office now? I have work to do", I tell him."Really?""Yes", I reply firmly. He sits on the chair in front of me and cross his leg while folding his arms. "I want to Know something , Freya and I want your honest answer”, he says while I am silent. I just nod permitting him to ask. Not like he was going to leave if he didn't say what he wanted to say.He starts to speak when I didn't say anything. "Are you pregnant?" He asks me. What! shocked, I stare at him blankly. I don't even have a bump yet, how did he know? I asked inwardly. I don't want it to look like I am lying so I say a quick "No” He chuckled lightly. "I don't believe you, Freya. Can you show me proof?" Proof? His he this stupid?"I
CHAPTER 37After lunch yesterday, Andre brought me back to the office so I could finish up my work before going home. He made sure to cheer me up, throwing silly jokes and teasing me. I smile when I remember how the lunch went. A great way to get my mind off things. After getting comfortable with him, I told him about my brother and he asks if that was why I have been moody since I came back from home but I told him yes. He promised to help.I just came into the office this morning to see a rose waiting on my table. I pick it up and sniff the bonquet. There is a little note attached to it, so I pick it up and it read, "Good morning, beautiful." I smile. I know it is from Andre. There is no other person who calls me that except him. Even Baxter has never called me that. I am glad Andre is in my life, even though he is my boss, I find a friend in him. He is ever ready to listen to whatever is bothering me, he is caring
CHAPTER 38Hearing his calm and caring voice of concern increases my tears and fear. I am confused and scared. I am confused because I dont know what is going on between Andre and I. Why did I let my feelings get this far? Why do I have feelings for my boss? I am scared because I know it is high time I told Andre the truth. He can't keep finding me this way. Yesterday, I was sad and today I am crying. He needs to know. And I need his help to clear my name. Everyone is already calling me the office slut, if my pregnancy begins to show, the gossip will increase and I doubt if I can live with that. I will rather leave the company than face the shame. More reason why Andre needs to know now. He will be hurt when my stomach begins to protrude."It's ok, Freya, everything will be fine", he assures me, as if knowing the reason for my tears. He is squatting beside me, holding my head in his broad chest and patting my hair as I keep crying."Freya", he calls whe
CHAPTER 39"I mean we are going to act like we are getting married which we will. When we get married it won’t be considered wrong”He explains."Andre, that's ridiculous. Why will you do this?” I ask."That's the best way to stop this." He says to me."No. There has to be another way. You don't need to do this. I don't want to get things complicated. You have an image to maintain, please", I stand up abruptly from his hold. "It won't work.""It will, Freya." He is says with a frown. I sighed and fold my arms, as I pace round the room. My face was dry and my beat of my heart is loud.I hear him stand up. He spun me around to face him. I don't want to look him in the eyes. He is sacrificing too much to help me. What will happen if his family finds out?"Look at me, Freya", he says softly. I look up at him and my eyes fell on his lips instantly. If we are to act like real couples, then he is going to be kissing me more frequently
CHAPTER 40After the stunt we pulled at the cafeteria, Andre took me home. To say I am grateful for him is an understatement, I am extremely glad that the plan is already working in just a day and I even got to spend time with him, not like I didn’t spend almost all my time with him before this plan.Andre is a genius, I thought to myself, watching him in admiration. I can't wait to get to the office the next day to hear the latest news and to see the look of defeat on Baxter's face. I really hope Baxter will get to believe the baby isn't his when the news gets to him."Why are you staring at me that way?" Andre glances at me briefly before looking away."I just can't believe the plan is already working, Andre", I chuckle in excitement."I told you it will, didn't I?""Yes, you did. You are a genius."He laughs richly and I smile at him. "Are you happy?""Yes, I am. Thanks Andre." He nods in reply.We both fall silent before I d
CHAPTER 41I feel my mood of the day before always influences my mood for the next day. Well, it happens to me most of the time, I don't know if it's the same with every other person but it sure is for me.I walk into the office with a new found confidence and a big smile on my face. A smile that I am not faking, I am really happy and at peace with myself because finally with the help of Andre I've put to rest the rumours that were spreading about me. I don't need to be troubled about my growing stomach anymore.The only thing I am worried about is Andre's parents. Andre has talked to me and told me not to worry about them but I knew it always went with rich parents like his, they never thought anyone was good enough for their sons. I need to see Andre and talk to him about it. I really see no need going to meet his parents since everything is just a facade, at least to him but every moment we spend together just makes me want him more each day.I d
“What are you doing here?. You’re supposed to_”“Be in jail right. It’s not difficult to break out when you have help” He moves closer. I turned to run but he grabs me. 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. I nod with tears still falling.“Good girl” He drops me and I fall hand on the floor. I quickly stood up holding my phone as I run back to Andre who I see standing. I ran to his arms scared.“What took you so long. I_” He starts.“Wait” He pulls me away from him staring at my shaken s
“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.
After Dimitri drops us at the airport Andre holds my waist and kisses me. 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. My heartbeat accelerates as I imagine what he will do to the bastard when he gets hold of him__knowing how possessive he is of me.“That day at the
“Stop with the suspense already Drè just spill it!” My face dampens as I try to manipulate him into telling me the surprise.“Close your eyes,” He says. 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. Seeing that am receptive now, he enters our walk-in closet and removes two tickets from his briefcase.As he is coming back, I tighten my eyes and w
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
