****“You’re right,” Aiden exhaled as soon as Nimi was done ranting about his discovery and everything that has been happening.“Jenna isn’t Franco’s only child, infact Jenna isn’t Franco’s child!” Aiden said, Nimi stumbled backwards absolutely stunned at what Aiden had just said.“What are you talking about!” He muttered.“What do you mean she’s not Franco’s child!” “The girl who saved you is Franco’s real and only daughter, Fiona!” “Fiona,” Nimi muttered as he slowly stepped forward and took his seat in front of Aiden.“How come jenna was the one in the picture at the public appearance and then Fiona was with me,”“Who exactly is Jenna’s father then, there’s something you’re not telling me Aiden what is it!” Nimi growled as he leaned into the desk towards Aiden.“Ahh man, look at me, thinking you stormed into my office because you had a successful job done, now this?!”“I did not know you already became a detective!” Aiden muttered as he reclined in his chair.“That is not the que
“She still have refused,” Franco said to Elizabeth, who was seated at the other side of the bed and on her phone.“I have to find a way to make her do it, Bob is on my neck already and getting impatient,”“Plus I need her to transfer their assets to my name as soon as possible,” he said but Elizabeth didn’t flinch or toss or turn.“Elizabeth!” He thundered and she slowly turned to face him.“Umm, you were talking to me?!”“What do you mean you were talking to me?! I just said something important and you didn’t react or say anything!”“Honestly in all of these fight with Aiden I feel alone!” He muttered and she slowly dropped her phone and turned to him.“What do you mean you feel alone, Aiden was her the other day right and I made my stand clear!” She replied.“But still, I feel like I’m in this alone, he is your first love right and I only snatched you from him, I think your mind is still with him” he muttered.“What?! I find that very insulting!”“Why are you so insecure Franco?! I
“Wow! If it ain’t my bride to be!” Jeremy teased as Jenna walked towards him, she rolled her eyes at him as she removed her bag from her shoulder and took her seat in front of him.“I’m only here because I’m obligated to, don’t humor me Jeremy!” She muttered and he chuckled lightly.“Come on wifey, loosen up a bit, we’re getting married soon, you should start opening up!” He said with a sly smile, she opened up her bag as she took out her jotter, pen and tablet.“Jeremy, are you going to talk business or I should leave?!” She replied sternly, her attempt focus on setting her tablet in the table , he waved his hands dismissively at her immediately.“Alright, that’s fine that’s fine!” He muttered.“I knew coming out to meet you today was a bad idea,” she muttered inaudibly as they got to business.****“Three million dollars?!”“What the hell do you intend to use the money for?!” Elizabeth growled to Annabeth over the phone, her scowl deepened turning to Aiden as they heard Annabeth ca
Next day Wednesday Morning….“Congratulations Miss Jenna, I saw the news” Claire said as she walked behind Jenna into her office.Jenna’s lips stretched into a small smile as she nodded stiffly.“There’s no need to congratulate me Claire,”“Did I release any official statement?!” She asked and Claire shook her head.“Did my family release anything?!” She asked again and Claire shook her head again.“Then debunk the rumors that you hear okay, you’re really close to me, you shouldn’t be spreading rumors don’t you think?!” She said with a small smile and Claire nodded immediately.“Absolutely ma,”“Good, so what is my day looking like?!” She asked.“You have an interview with Vineyard Tv by 12pm today, then before that you have a meeting with all heads of departments that would be working with you on the horizon heights project this morning,”“We also need to visit the Next city estate for the inspection of the property just concluded and to official put it on the market by 3pm”“Then y
“Can you imagine?!” “He was even threatening me on top of everything,”“Why don’t you and Nimi just come out to him,” Quinn said gently rocking Hailey as she turned to look at Jenna.Darell and Nimi stepped out few minutes ago, although Jenna didn’t quite understand how their closeness or alliance came to be as they said they wanted to step out together, but at the same time she didn’t think too much about it.“What do you mean come out to him, that’s not even an option, first of all he’ll fire Nimi and his restraint on me will worsen,” she muttered and Quinn nodded slowly.“You’re right,”“So what are you going to do?!”“I’ve been saving up, I’m just gonna stall him and refuse the marriage long enough for Nimi and I to have enough money,”“Then we can come out to him, if he doesn’t approve which he obviously won’t then I’ll move out of his House!”“Nimi and I would start our lives afresh, together!” She added.“And have you discussed this with Nimi?!”“Yes, we talked about it, altho
“Oh my God, Nimi, Jenna” Annabeth called with a wide smile on her face as she opened the door for them to come in.“Oh please come in,” she said as she stepped away from the door, she hugged them one after the other as they walked in and closed the door behind them.“Welcome to my home once again, it’s so nice to have you guys come over,” she said excitedly as they all walked into the living room.“Although Nimi called again to say you guys would be coming, but I still couldn’t help but have second thoughts that you might want to change your mind,” she said and Jenna smiled.“Ofcourse not, we were going to honour your Invitation no matter what, it’s not everytime a client extend a hands of friendship, so our corporation will cherish this one,” Jenna replied and Annabeth smiled.“Ofcourse ofcourse”“Please come have your seat while I set our dinner,” Annabeth said as she led them to the dinning table.“I prepared a three course specially for you guys!” She added and Jenna smiled.“Re
Meanwhile …. “She’s asleep now,” Quinn whispered to Darell as she tucked Hailey in well and turned to him.“You should go to sleep now, Incase she wakes up at night, you would have had enough rest,” She said to him and he nodded slowly as he stepped closer to her.“Stay the night Quinn,” he finally said and she looked up at him shocked.“What?!” She whispered.“What are you talking about!” She said.“I want you to stay with us Quinn, I feel more comfortable when you’re around” he whispered as he stepped close to her and wrapped his hands around her waist.“You don’t want to do this Darell,” she muttered.“Why not?! We both can’t deny what we feel for each other,” he muttered and Quinn shook her head.“Darell, I don’t want to be a rebound for you, you’re just having confused Feelings, it’s just a month after you lost your wife,”“It’s normal for you to feel this way, I don’t want to take advantage of your feelings” she replied.“You’re not taking advantage of anything, I know how I f
7:30 pm …“Are you ready to leave miss,” Nimi asked Jenna as he walked into her room, she looked up at him with a smile.“Where are you taking me to Nimi,” she asked as she put finishing touches to her makeup, he smiled at her effort to look really nice.“It’s a surprise,” he replied, whe stood up from her seat and turned to look at him,“I hope I’m not under dressed?!” She asked and he shook his head with a smile.“You’re perfectly dressed,” he replied as he stepped closer to her and placed a lingering kiss on her lips.“You look stunning,” he said, her smile widened as she placed her hands on his shoulder and dusted imaginary dirt.“You don’t look bad yourself,” she replied, he nodded as he turned slightly and gestured towards the door.“Shall we?!” He asked stretching out his hands to her.“We shall!” She grinned as she placed her hands in his and they walked out of her room.Just as they got to the passage they heard footsteps and they let go of each other immediately and Jenna st
Two weeks later ….“I don’t trust you, where are you taking me to,” Jenna said turning to Quinn.“I don’t understand, can’t me and my friend just dress up and go out?!” She asked and Jenna nodded with a small smile.“Okay then, whatever you say,” Jenna replied as she relaxed in her seat and took out her phone.It’s been two weeks since Franco and Elizabeth were arrested, although they tried to be smart on the court day but they weren’t so lucky, Franco was sentenced to life in prison and Elizabeth Ten years in prison.Franco committed suicide two days later but Elizabeth decided to do her terms in the realization that she deserved whatever was coming to her.She had a conversation with Annabeth, Fiona and Jenna already and she apologized to them, she admitted her wrongs and they forgave her, especially Jenna, Elizabeth was more than a mother to her than the rest of them and she loved her also.Annabeth left Canada about three days ago to go back and see her adopted family, and their l
Jenna huffed silently as she slowly looked down at her hand that Nimi had suddenly dropped and slowly tucked it in her back pocket, she had totally forgotten that Nimi mentioned he had something to do with her in the past.“You have no idea how happy I am to see you,” Nimi whispered as he disengaged from the hug and pulled her into another hug.Fiona chuckled lightly as she wrapped her hands tightly around him also, and others just sat back and watched in confusion.“It’s good to see you survived everything that happened back then, I tried to find you I promise,” he whispered and she nodded gently with a small smile.“It’s fine, you couldn’t have found me anyways, I’m happy you’re still alive also,” she said and he nodded slowly.“Well I am,” he replied , she gently held his hands and led him towards the table, Jenna exhaled deeply as she walked in behind them, just as she was about to take her seat, Fiona pulled out the chair and sat beside Nimi.Wordlessly Jenna rounded the table an
“Oh my God,” Jenna exhaled deeply as she walked towards her room and pulled the door open, Nimi quickly reached forward and pulled her back,“What are you doing?!” He asked pulling her close to himself and closed the door behind her.“Going to my room, what’s going on,” she whispered looking at him so lost.“What happened to staying with me in my room,” he whispered and her lips slowly curved into a smile realization dawning on her.“You’re a bad boy,” she whispered and he laughed as he slowly took her lips in a kiss and they made their way towards his room in a zigzag unsteady motion.“I could kiss you all day,” he whispered to her as soon as they got into his room, and she chuckled as they disengaged from the kiss.“It’s so nice to finally be in your family’s good book,” she said and he smiled, “Oh, you’re not very difficult to like, you eventually charmed them, I saw that coming,” he replied and she released a small laugh.“It didn’t quite seem like that two days ago though,” she
“What gave you the right Tolu, who exactly do you think you are to pull that rubbish stunt on me!” Nimi growled, Becky stood up at once and walked towards her children.“What’s going on Nimi, tell me what happened!” She said, Nimi slowly took his eyes off Tolu and it landed on their mother.“Can you believe she actually paid Debbie to go out with me!” He yelled his veins nearly popping out.“Haba! Tolu!” Becky exclaimed as she turned to look at her.“Was that how horrible I looked to you! I told you to trust me that I had everything under control,” he spat angrily.“And then you went ahead to pay someone to go out with me?! For what?! As what!”“You paid someone to go out with me?! The more I think about it the more annoyed I get! To think that I was even worried and felt guilty for Debbie and then I find out she wasn’t really into me!”“What if I had fallen in love with her?!”“I was just trying to help,” Tolu retorted.“You look like you needed company, I just wanted to help you!”
He slowly broke off the kiss and he looked up at her, Jenna didn’t waste time in slamming her lips back on his, he moved her closer to himself as he deepened the kiss and took charge.He stood up from the chair and carried her in his arms as they continued kissing all the way to his room.Immediately they got to the room he placed her on the bed and knelt in front of her, “Never you consider leaving me again!” He muttered as he slowly unbuttoned her pyjamas.“I can’t think straight when you’re close,” he muttered as he gently took her top off and her body came bare before him, he resumed kissing her as he gently laid her on the bed not breaking off the kiss, Jenna moaned as his arms roamed her body and her hands slowly made its way to unbuttoning his shirt also.*****The sun rays filtered in through the window, Jenna squinted her eyes in her sleep before they finally fluttered open.She looked beside her and the other side of the bed was empty, her face reddened as she pushed the du
“I don’t like her for you!”“And when have I said I want to be with her again?! I’m willing to listen to you and Tolu, you’re right Loving her had cost me a lot,” he said.“At the risk of your own happiness?! You don’t have to say anything to me Nimi, it’s written all over your face, you’re still inlove with her,” she said to him and his shoulders slowly slumped and his head curved downwards.“Why Nimi?! Why did you chose such a painful love,” she whispered.“What then do you want from me !” He muttered resignately.“I want to see you happy, I want you to look at your wife the way you look at Jenna, and you have never looked at Debbie this way,”“As much as I don’t like her for you, I don’t want you unhappy,” she said, just as he was about to reply, her phone began to ring and it was a video call from Tolu.“Mom have you heard what your son has been up to recently, can you believe that white girl is in the country and he picked her over me!” Tolu ranted as soon as the call got connect
Minutes Later …Nimi and Jenna sat side by side on the bench outside the restaurant, their hands were folded across their chest and their legs folded on each other as they stared into space quietly.“I’m guessing, somehow you read my letter,” Nimi said finally breaking the icy silence.“ I’m sorry Nimi,” she finally said as she uncrossed her legs and turned to face him.“Sorry for what exactly?!” He muttered in reply his gaze still not meeting hers.“Sorry for not trusting me?! Or sorry for not listening to me, sorry for getting rid of me and getting married to Jeremy right after?!” He added as his eyes slowly made his way towards her face.“You have all right to be angry Nimi, I don’t want to say I understand how you must have felt because I don’t ,”“I regretted my decision with every fiber of being in me Nimi, I shouldn’t have behaved so irrationally !” She said and he nodded slowly.“I hurt you Nimi and I’m sorry, I hope you find a place in your heart to forgive me,” she said and
Next day ….Canada …..“Jeremy what’s going on with Jenna?! It’s been four days nobody has heard from her ! Are you sure you haven’t either?!” Quinn asked in a small growl rolling her eyes at him, she still hated his guts and hated him more for the mere fact that he enabled Jenna to go to Canada alone with informing anyone or without their joint efforts.They were actually on a group video call, Darrell slowly placed his hands on her thighs and rubbed it slowly, trying to tell her to calm down.“I promise it was only the day she arrived I spoke to her, I haven’t been able to get through to her since then,”“Well you caused this nonsense,” she snapped and Annabeth finally cleared her throat.“Don’t get too bothered,” she said to her.“How can I not get too bothered, she’s there all alone in a strange land with no help! And worse we can’t get across to her!”“What were you thinking letting her do this huh!” “What did you guys think would be the result!” She yelled.“Relax Quinn, I’m s
Meanwhile ….Nimi packed in front of Debbie’s house, he stepped out of the car, rounded it quickly and opened the door for her.Debbie was Tolu’s friend that she had set him up with, they just had dinner and he was dropping her off and so far so good, her company had been nice.“Thank you,” she said with a wide smile as she took his hand and stepped out of the car.“I enjoyed myself today, thank you for going out with me,” she said with a small smile, and she nodded slowly.“I had fun also,” he replied, she was beautiful also, she had a fair and flawless caramel skin, she was nice and she spoke eloquently too, but the only thing was that she wasn’t Jenna.He gently stepped forward deciding to take the bull by the horn, Tolu was right he need to move forward, he gently placed tucked her hair behind her ear and pulled her close to him, slowly he bent to her height and slammed his lips on hers.He tried to muster feeling but none came, it was just bland, she definitely wasn’t Jenna but
