5:05pm ….The softly lit studio buzzed with anticipation as the camera crew bustled about, preparing for the next segment of the online show, "Unveiling the Vision." Lily, the elegant host of the program, stood at the center of the set, her emerald-green dress shimmering under the studio lights. She took a deep breath, her heart pounding with excitement."Welcome back, dear viewers," Lily began with a warm smile as the show returned from a brief commercial break. "Before the break, we teased an exciting partnership in the world of real estate. Now, it's time to reveal the faces behind this ambitious venture."The camera zoomed in on Lily's face, and she continued "Joining me today are two individuals who are about to embark on an exciting journey together,”“Please welcome our guests, Jennalyn Thatcher and Jeremy Cooper!”With a graceful sweep of her arm, Lily signaled to the two empty chairs next to her. Seconds later, Jenna and Jeremy emerged from backstage hand in hand, exudin
Later that Evening…After the show .“It wasn’t a lie, was it?!” Jeremy voiced suddenly as they were about to get into the car.All three of them paused as they slowly turned to look at him, he increased his paced immediately and caught up with them.“It’s the truth right, you really are in love with someone?!” he asked again, Jenna folded her hands across her chest leaning onto her car, a small smile tugging at the corner of her lips.“You should …” Jenna stretched her hands toward Quinn immediately as she patted her arm lightly, she gazed into Quinn’s eyes silently pleading that she lets her handle this.“Let’s go,” She said turning to Nimi, Nimi threw Jeremy one last disdainful look, before rounding the car with Quinn as she entered through the other side and he got into the drivers seat.“You’re not joking right?!” He asked again, she slowly looked up at him and held his gaze fiercely.“About what?!” She asked rolling her eyes at him contemptuously.“That you’re not in love with
Minutes later …“Why do you keep ruining everything for me!” Franco asked as soon as Jenna walked into the house, his voice was a little bit above a whisper but she could tell he was pissed and just trying to keep it together.“What are you talking about?!” She asked stepping further into the house, Nimi bowed at Franco in greeting, he passed Jenna one more firm nod before walking towards his room.“What was that about?! Saying you’re in love with someone else, that’s not Jeremy on national TV?!” He retorted finally turning to look at her.“I begged you this morning didn’t I?! You still went ahead and did as you liked ““And then you wonder why I’m always angry at you?!”“What do you mean that is not Jeremy?! Do I have to be in love with Jeremy!” She fired back, specifically picking out only that statement from his whole rant, because she knew where he was headed and she wouldn’t give him that opportunity!.“Yes! Why can’t the both of you just date, what’s the big deal in that!” He sn
Saturday Morning ..10:00 am …“I’m so sorry for coming in late , I had things to do!” Jenna said to Claire as she walked into her office.“That’s fine ma’am, it’s weekend after all, you had a long day yesterday!” Claire replied with a respectful bow as Jenna took her seat.“Yeah right,”“Any message from the headquarters?!” She asked and Claire shook her head gently.“None, but we do have a buyer for the checkers property now,” “Really?!” Jenna asked, leaning forward in her seat.“That’s like a big win for us right now,” she added and Claire nodded with a small smile as she slowly placed the file she was holding on the table.“I know right? And she wants the payment arrangement as quick as possible, she seems to love the place!” She said and Jenna nodded with a smile.“Oh it’s a she! Wow!” “Set up a meeting with her as soon as possible and let’s finalize it,” Jenna instructed.“Noted ma’am ““So what’s today looking like for me?!” Jenna asked leaning back in her seat as she placed
At Jenna’s office …“Are you okay?!” Nimi asked as he and Jenna walked into the office, she didn’t reply or react, she simply just walked up to her table, placed her bag on it and took her seat.“You’ve being awful quiet since, what’s going on?!”“I’m not comfortable with your silence!” He said again, she scoffed without sparing him any glance as she held onto the edge of the table and pulled her chair closer to it, she gently took off her stilettos and drew a fancy sandal she usually wear in her office closer to herself and began to put it one.“Babes, you’re not saying anything! It’s so unsettling!” Nimi said again, moving closer to her table.“Look Nimi, I’m really tired and I still have a lot of work to do,” she said, finally looking up at him.“I’m not asking you to leave, but I actually need space to work!” She said, slowly pulling her drawer open and taking out its content.“Nimi?!” She asked with creased brows.“Why?! Isn’t that your name!”Just as he was about to say somethin
A few moments later …“Where’s Belle, where’s my wife?!” Darell said as he dashed into the Hospital, breathing heavily, he looked really disoriented like he ran all the way there. Quinn quickly stood up from where she was seated and rushed up to him. “Relax, she’s in the delivery room,” she said and he exhaled deeply as he slowly followed her to where she was seated.“How can I relax?,” he muttered as she made him seat on the chair and she took her seat beside him also.“She still has about three weeks to her due date and you said she was bleeding, my head is running wild from all the possibilities “ he said rubbing his forehead distraught.Quinn placed a reassuring hand on Darell's shoulder, offering him a warm smile, even if her herself she felt scared and the smile was somewhat fake.“I understand how worried you are, Darell, but Belle's in good hands. The doctors here are experts, and they'll do everything they can to ensure her and the baby's safety."Darell nodded, though anxie
“Its such a sad day,” Jenna murmured as she walked into her room, with Nimi behind her, he gently closed the door shut and closed the bolt behind it.“It is, I just hope he’ll be fine,” Nimi replied, Jenna nodded slowly opening the glass cupboard where she kept her bags and carefully placed it in it.“He’ll be fine,” she replied taking off her shoes and coming to seat beside him on her bed.“I hope so,” Nimi slowly leaned forward and took his hands on hers, he gently wrapped his hands around hers and placed it tenderly on his thigh slowly looking up to hold her gaze affectionately.“It’s why I always want us to talk if there’s anything annoying you, I never want us to go to sleep mad at each other,” he said and she nodded slowly.“It’s difficult for me to actually talk and settle things out when I’m extremely angry, but I’ll do anything for you, for us, for our relationship,” she said and he nodded slowly with a small smile.“I understand, thank you my love” he said as he stretched
Next day…Sunday Afternoon, 3:00pm …Nimi picked up his bottle of perfume, sprayed a little at points where it was needed the most and hastily returned it back to where he took it from.With one last look at the mirror, he picked up his phone and dashed towards the door.Just as he got to the door about to grab the knob, it twisted and the door pushed open.Nimi stepped back as he looked at Jenna in shock, a string of profanities escaping his lips, he had tried as much as possible to avoid her since the day began, trying to think of how to carry out the job that her father gave him.“Going somewhere?!” She asked, he just stared at her wondering whether to nod yes or shake his head saying no.He weighed the two options immediately, thinking of the one that would cost him more time, Now definitely would!.“Yes,” he finally said in a whisper nodding his head slowly.“Where?!” She asked again stepping inside and closing the door behind her.Nimi impatiently looked down at his watch and sl
