Stepping out of the company, Will was still pissed off with what he saw on his office floor, he was beginning to imagine things But knowing that he needed his same mind to get himself, inclined with the meeting he was going for, looking at himself in the mirror Of his car, he needed to calm himself down, before starting the car, the journey down to the organizers of the next biggest magazine show Had called to collaborate with his company, as he was known for being the best publishing empire, he had the audience they were looking forBut there was a clause, Wills sturdy the Baird who attended the meeting as they looked at the memo for the meeting.“ Mr will, I appreciate your presence and I must say that you are true, a wonderful person not to waste Mitch of your time, let’s discuss today's meeting “Will nodded his head , he couldn’t allow himself to be distracted by their kind gesture, to sway him off his feet, to earn his pityIt was business and business would it remain, “Thank
Hardy walked into the hospital, forgetting that he had dropped his envelope containing information that could cause chaos.But he was worried about his Nana, as he loved her so much, just like he would have loved his mother if she were alive.Storming into the hospital building, he spotted a young lady shivering, her eyes fixed on him the minute he stepped in.He knew that must be the maid. Walking toward her, he asked rudely, “What happened? Where is she?”The maid, stressed and worried, replied, “The doctor is in there, attending to her.” She pointed to a room opposite where they stood.“I just hope she’ll be fine,” Hardy murmured to himself. He didn’t have to wait long.His father appeared, running down the hall. “How is she?” he asked Hardy, glancing from him to the maid.“I haven’t heard from anyone since I arrived,” Hardy responded as they waited for the doctor to come out and address them.Walking out of the room, the doctor recognized them. “Oh, Mr. Will, it’s so nice to see y
Will stood outside Brenda’s home for a while. He rang the bell one more time, hoping someone was home. He would feel disappointed if no one answered, especially since he knew Brenda was so obsessed with him. He had never felt so loved, more than when his wife had iced him out when she was alive. He was about to ring the bell again when Brenda’s sleepy face and voice greeted him. “Mum, someone’s at the door, but I’ll get it, okay!” she said, not wanting her parents to stress themselves. But she was wrong, as her mother’s voice rang through the house. “Who is it, dear? I was about to come down and check!” Brenda was too stunned to answer, her eyes growing wide as she saw Will standing in her home. “Brenda, is anyone there?” her mother called, snapping her back to reality. “Oh no, Mother, it’s nobody!” Will smirked, standing confidently. Brenda quickly closed the door behind her and dragged him to their little garden, away from the view of passersby or her parents. “What a
Chapter 10 “ Is everything okay?” Brenda asked Will who seemed to be more focused on the road than herself, looking around like he was checking to be sure that he wasn't been followed. “ Will, is everything okay?” “ yeah I am fine, don't worry dear, it's nothing important okay!” he said, reassuring Brenda that everything was fine notwithstanding. The drive to Will’s penthouse was short, seeing how intensive, it was for them, “Come here darling... I miss you so much!!” They spent the better part of the day, kissing and loving each other, their bodies moving in a sensual way. Brenda, knowing the power she had over him, walked slowly to him, she was dressed in sexy lingerie Walking quietly, like as if she didn't want to wake the next person next door, “ I know what you want “ Brenda said walking up to him, seductively carving her lips, she could feel the sting of pleasure in between her legs and it was responsible by the minute. She brought her lips closer to Will,
Chapter 11 The night went by so fast, going all round,hardy finding himself, on a soft surface Baffled him, he yawned, as he tried to stand up, he felt a hard figure, laying next to him, he didn't understand what was going on as he looked right beside him To check who it was, only for him to see Cassandra laying beside him, sleeping soundly, “what the heck is going on?” He asked taking a look at his environment, to see that it was his room, “ damn it!” he cursed and knowing fully well that things might not go down well if she should wake up to see him there He snuck out of his bed, with a hangover, but he needed to get out there, Brenda, stirred awake but she slept off back “ weehh!!” Hardy sighed as he made his way out of his room, took his bath in the next room, changed and stepped right out. Before stepping out of the house he looked around for his father , but didn’t know how else get to him, walking down to his fathers room. He knocked , severally, but no respon
The weekend went by so fast, knowing fully well that things would go back to normal for her and Will.Brenda was down, but she forced herself to go to work, taking her usual route. It felt quite unrealistic.The thought of having him to herself was on her mind throughout the day at work.“Brenda! Brenda!” one of her colleagues called her twice, but she didn’t respond, which puzzled her as she thought Brenda was focused on work.“Brenda!” she called again, and this time it caught her attention. Looking around, she glanced toward the person who called her.“Yes, Layla, is there anything I can help you with?”“Not me, but a package came in for you!” Layla said, handing her a package with no addressee.“Where is this from?” Brenda asked, confused, as she stretched her hand to collect the package.“I don’t know, you could check inside to see if it has a tag,” Layla responded, waiting patiently to see what Brenda had received from this unknown person.She was about to open the package when
Brenda, ran right out of bed, with the mindset to get to work no matter the time, was dressed in a short skirt with a floral-print long-sleeve top.“Oh my goodness, I might as well get myself out of this house whichever way!”Brenda said to herself as she made her way down the stairs. “And where do you think you’re heading to?”“To work, of course. I have a job, remember?” Brenda said to her mom, obviously getting disturbed and angrier by the minute.“Oh, don’t you roll your eyes at me, young girl. Well, I just wanted to tell you the other room is leaking badly, and we need to call someone to fix it for us!”Brenda sighed, feeling the rush of frustration wash over her. She pulled out her phone to check how much of the money Will had given her was left.She had barely anything, and the end of the month was still far away. “You know what, Mom? When I get to work—or you know, when I get back—we will discuss it. For now, I’m running late!”Brenda exclaimed as she ran out of the house, try
Finally finding her way back to the office, she kept thinking about the quick kiss Will stole. She couldn’t believe that, as old as he was, he still found time to make her feel goosebumps all over. The rest of the day went by slowly until it was time to leave for home.She stepped out with the rest of the staff as they discussed their way out.“I heard the boss’s son is now working full-time at the company!”“Oh, you mean that spoiled brat has something to contribute to the company?”They all laughed at the harsh statement, and it made everyone look cruel, as Brenda stayed silent among them.The elevator was heading down. It was transparent glass, so you could see someone from the outside.“Would you even recognize him if you saw him?” one of them asked. “Who is that?” another person responded.“The boss’s son!”“Oh, yeah, uhhm, there he is!” The guy pointed toward a figure walking out of the company.Everyone was struggling to see the boss’s son, but could only catch a glimpse of his
“ “What exactly are you still doing here? Get me more outfits for my woman!” Hardy kept screaming at the attendant assigned to him, with his friend seated beside him.“You can't be serious about this?” his friend replied, looking incredulous.“What am I not serious about?” Hardy shot back.His friend turned to him, slumped in his seat, and said, “You can't be planning to wed a woman you practically know nothing about.”“And why do you think I know nothing about her?” Hardy retorted.“Because you don't, and you know it,” his friend insisted.“Oh please, John, don't sound so daft. I love her, and that's all that matters. What do you think she would be binding as innocent as she is?” Hardy asked, glancing at the woman in question, knowing full well that things might go wrong if his friend continued to meddle in the wedding plans.“You know it’s dangerous—not just for you, but for your family name,” John cautioned.“And what about that?” Hardy responded defiantly.“You know, for peace to
The journey to Will’s penthouse was a short one, but was still a dreadful one, Brenda could feel the tension dissing and she knew that things like this might end up hurting herself “ what's going on in your mind “ Will asked as he parked in his garage, and Brenda came out, without responding to the question and in no time made her way right into the house , Will eventually caught up with her as he made his way right into the house, she wasn't having any of his attitude towards her But he caught her hands, and dragged her towards him, “Are you trying to avoid me now ?” Brenda grew the courage to look into his eyes “ you avoided me first, you hurt my feelings first” “ you won't understand, I am hurt that my son wants what mine for himself” “ but you know it is you I want” Will raised his right hand right behind her head, as he looked into his eye The emotions in her eyes, couldn't deceive them, he realized that she loved him and it was genuine But life has a
“ you will learn to love him, get ready next weekend we are meeting his family for a family dinner, so don't make me drag you don't jw there !” Brenda was about to wage war against such an arrangement, feeling disrespected since no one, wanted to respect her space including bg her mother Her father suddenly rang, she searched through her bag looking at it she checked who the caller was, but it had not id Picking up, “Hello, this is Brenda on the line whom am I speaking with?” “ We are calling you from Will’s Book Publish Ltd, you have been shortlisted to be redeployed back to work !” “Are you serious ?” “Does it sound like I have that time to crack a huge ke with? You are to resume. Tomorrow and please do that on time !” “ oh, I will for sure thank you so much for this great news!!” The phone call ended as soon as it began, looking at her mother with so much happiness erupting from within, “Guess what mum, I just got my job back...” “ well that is good news, but the best n
“Who are you to tell me to leave my woman ?” Hardy said looking at the stranger as they both stared at him Brenda stared at him in awe, though his face wasn't viable at first but then she looked at him earnestly Trying to figure out who he is at first before concluding on anything… But the staffer himself wanted to have it as he walked slowly towards them, he walked towards Hardy and said “ I understand the fact that your father is one of the top billionaires in this country, but one thing I am most certain of is that you wouldn't want to be tagged in the news for assaulting a lady, would you?” Hardy was about to laugh at the stranger, as Brenda flinched, but Hardy thought about it twice knowing fully well that things might go a different way if he tried that Letting go of, Brenda I wondered if she knew that his hold on her was tight her... Massaging the place he held on to as she watched home walk to his car, and drive roughly into the road, leaving her and the stranger
Brenda suddenly woke up, looking at her surroundings, she was still in her home, her parents were me, so it was all a dream “ oh my goodness!” she exclaimed looking at herself as she sat up through the mirror opposite her.“ Brenda my child, are you awake we need to go see your mother and it is urgent “Her father called out from the living area, everywhere seemed to go silent the minute her father ended the discussion “ what exactly is going on?” she asked herself as she made her way right out of the bed and quickly freshened up.Stepping out of her room she knew she had to get her mind together, “ good morning dad ““To my goodness, you look like you didn't have any sleep at all ““ do I?” she inquired from her father as she didn't know how else to get things over with, understanding the fact that there was a lot on her mind Hardy proposing to her, and her parents have been in support, her mother recovering from a dangerous surgery And her family feels so indebted to Hardy, what
The Truth UnraveledThe room seemed to shrink around Brenda as she stood frozen, staring at Cassandra. The woman’s cold, calculating gaze swept over her, and the corners of her lips curled upward in a sinister smile.“Did you really think you could keep this all under wraps?” Cassandra’s voice was sweet but laced with venom. “You’ve been playing a dangerous game, Brenda.”Brenda’s stomach churned as she looked from Cassandra to Will and Hardy, each of them staring at her with a mix of confusion, suspicion, and anger. The air felt thick with tension, and for a moment, it felt like the world had come to a standstill.“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” Brenda said, her voice shaking but determined to hold her ground. She couldn’t let Cassandra win. She couldn’t let the truth she had fought so hard to bury come to the surface now.“Oh, I think you do,” Cassandra sneered, stepping further into the room, her heels clicking sharply against the marble floor. “You and I both know the tr

A Shattered SilenceThe night seemed endless. As the soft sounds of the final guests leaving echoed through the empty halls of the mansion, Brenda stood at the edge of their balcony once more, staring out at the sprawling grounds below. The stars twinkled coldly in the sky, mocking the turmoil that churned inside her chest.She had married Will, and yet, it felt as though a weight still clung to her, suffocating her from the inside. She thought this day would be the start of something new—a new chapter in her life with the man she loved. But instead, she found herself drowning in a sea of questions that had no answers.Her phone buzzed in her pocket, pulling her from her thoughts. She pulled it out reluctantly, a feeling of dread settling in her gut. The message was from an unknown number:“I know the truth about your child.”Brenda’s heart stopped. Her breath caught in her throat. She stared at the message, disbelief flooding her. Who could possibly know?She quickly glanced back in
Unfinished BusinessThe evening had fallen into a whirlwind of celebration. Guests mingled, champagne glasses clinked, and laughter filled the air. But Brenda stood on the balcony, alone. The cool night breeze ruffled her hair, and she pulled her shawl tighter around her shoulders.Her mind raced with a thousand thoughts. The wedding had been beautiful, the vows heartfelt, but deep inside, a part of her still felt as if she was floating—untethered, as though she hadn’t quite found her place in this new world she had stepped into. Will’s love was constant, unyielding, but the memories of Hardy still tugged at her heart. The look in his eyes as he’d turned and walked away earlier had been so raw, so full of pain, and despite everything that had transpired, it left a mark on her soul.“Brenda?” Will’s voice called softly from behind her.She turned, her heart doing a little skip at the sight of him. He looked handsome in his tuxedo, his expression soft but searching. “You okay?” he asked
