“Are you okay?!” Jenna asked, she was squatting in front of Nimi helping to clean up his bursted lips, immediately she was done she walked towards the small fridge in her office, took out an ice bag and handed it over to him.“Thanks Love,” he muttered taking it from her and placing it on his lips as she took her seat beside him.“Are you still angry?!” She asked placing her hands on his thigh as she looked up at him.“What right do I have to be!” He replied shortly.“He’s just so lucky we aren’t on the same level, I would have beaten him the hell up and sent him back to wherever the hellhole he came from on a stretcher!” He growled seething angrily.“I’m happy you took a moment to think even while you’re angry,” she said probably in an attempt to calm him down, he looked down at her and met her gaze.“Well you’re now a part of my life, I have to do a lot of thinking before acting if I want to protect you!” He said and she smiled.“Oh, how comforting to know I’m in safe hands,” she mu
“There’s absolutely no way in the world that you can be serious!” She added as she picked up her bag and headed toward ma the room.“I’m talking to you young lady come back here!” Franco snapped at once, she halted in her steps as she turned around to face him.“No! Dad! I’m not doing it! There’s nothing you’ll say to make me do a project with Jeremy again!”“I’m not letting you put me in a tight spot again!”“It’s a project meant to be handled by the headquarters, I have nothing to do with it!” She argued giving him no chance to speak as she moved closer to him.“The Board has decided and most importantly, I have decided! You’re handling the project! With Jeremy and both of you would be the face of the project!” “And I as a person I’m saying no! Bold of you to ask the person you regret birthing for something as huge as this!”“You owe me an apology dad! And only then would I consider doing this!” She replied defiantly as she turned around and headed for her room, ignoring her father
Moments later ….“No!”“What do you mean no?!”“There’s enough space in this house, did you not just hear that his apartment got burnt?!” Jenna retorted, her eyes burning with anger as she stared at her father.“It’s enough Jenna, I’ll definitely find somewhere else! Trust me I don’t want to be a burden to you, Jenna insisted!” Nimi interfered turning to Franco.Franco’s gaze drifted from Jenna and comfortably landed on Nimi.“Explain to me how you guys were together at your apartment at this time of the day!” Franco said as he took his seat on the royally curved chair crossing his legs.“We weren’t at my house,” Nimi replied shortly.“She called me, she needed to take a stroll and I needed to escort her as her bodyguard!”“Somehow when the fire happened, she got to know also and we went there together!” He explained, his statement not totally true and not totally a lie at the same time.“Is that so!” Franco asked, glancing back at Jenna, she nodded slowly as she folded her hands acro
***“I don’t want you anywhere near my family, or even in Canada!” Annabeth slowly raised her head to look at Elizabeth as soon as she heard her voice, tears slowly streaming down her face, Annabeth was putting on a loose fitting black gown that touched the ground with a scarf tightly tied around her head and a black shawl carelessly draped over her shoulders while Elizabeth was in a black floral dress which stopped just at her knee, she was putting on a conspicuous black fashionable fascinator carefully placed at the left side of her hair, her small black bag clutched tightly in her left hand.“I always knew you were like this, but I didn’t think it had gotten to this!” Annabeth sobbed as she turned her body fully to face Elizabeth, “We just buried a relative!” Elizabeth exhaled slightly as she slowly turned back to face the headstone infront of them, a freshly dug grave.“Don’t say we!” Elizabeth snapped lowly, as much as she wanted to pass her point across to Annabeth sternly, s
Next day ….Thatcher’s Corp Headquarters ….“Welcome on board Jenna!” Charles said with a firm smile as he pushed his chair backwards and stood up.“It’s time to prove to us that a female can make a worthy heir,” He added before walking out of the conference room, leaving Jenna and Franco behind.“Jeremy couldn’t make it to this meeting today, so it’s up to you to fill him up on what we was said today,” Franco said to Jenna calmly staring at the projector ahead, his hands tapping the finely polished table generated a light rhythmic sound.“Hmm,” Jenna murmured in reply as she pushed her chair backwards and stood up.“I should get going now,” she added as she picked up her bag and headed for the door.“Hold on Jenna” Franco finally voiced as she walked towards the door, she paused in her tracks with a small sigh, rolling her eyes to the back of her head as she turned to look at him.“Come and have a seat,” he said.“I’m comfortable this way Dad, I don’t need to seat” She replied as she
“So he really has a fiancé!” Jenna murmured and Quinn nodded slowly.“Plus she’s so nice to me, they’re both nice to me actually,”“So what are you going to do?!” Jenna asked her brows raised in concern as she stared at Quinn.“Don’t look at me that way, I didn’t loose anything!”“It was just a crush that got crushed immediately I saw his pregnant Fiancé!” She added and Jenna nodded slowly.“I can only be happy for them, they suit each other actually,” she added.“Don’t worry, your own true love will come along soon enough!” Jenna said and she nodded slowly.“Atleast one of us has found love, I’m happy for you!” She replied with an equally energetic smile, Jenna’s phone dinged signalling the arrival of a new message.She picked up her phone and looked at it, she released as small sigh as she rolled her eyes and tucked her phone back in her bag.“Who was that?!” Quinn asked.“Claire,” she replied with a small exhale.“Jeremy is waiting at the office,” she added as she stood up from the
Much later that day …Back at the Thatchers mansion … “I’m really sorry about what happened, so what’s your plan going forward now?!”“You know you can’t stay with your friend forever,” Tolu, Nimi’s sister said over the phone, Nimi rubbed his head slowly as he laid by his back on the bed.“How about you just come home for a while, you know to cool off and stuff!” She added.“You know I can’t do that,” he replied.“Why not, you’re done with school right, just take a break from work, two weeks max,” She replied.“Tolu I …”“If you want to talk to me, sit up, don’t lie on your bed and talk to me, I’m not your babe!” She interrupted rolling her eyes at him and he released a light chuckle.“As what?!” He teased.“As your elder sister!” She retorted playfully rolling her eyes.“Whatever,” he muttered as he slowly sat up on his bed, a satisfied smile crossed her lips as she watched him sit up.“It’s being what?! Like twenty years since ..”“Ahn ahn! Tolu relax, kilode, twenty years ke?!( Wh
Nimi stood in front of Jenna’s room and placed a small knock on her door, he dropped his hand and stepped back slightly.Shortly after, the door slowly creaked open and her head popped out,“Oh” she muttered as she stepped back a little bit and opened the door wider.“Did I wake you up?!” “No no,” “Come in,” she replied as she stepped away from the door and walked into the room, he slowly walked in after her and shut the door firmly behind himself.“You wanted to tell me something?!” He asked as she folded her right leg on her chair and sat on it.“Yeah yeah, I just wanted to ask something but I already figured it out,” She replied and he nodded slowly.“I was just on the phone with my sister,”“Oh your twin?! Why didn’t you tell me I really wanted to see and speak with her,” she said and he released a light chuckle.“Don’t worry, there’s plenty of time to see her,” he added and she hummed in reply.“It’s getting quite late,”“You should go to sleep now,” he said, she thinned her li
