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 know we shouldn’t be doing this right?” Brenda says to Wills, wrapping her hand over his neck. “And what exactly are we doing?” Wills kissed her lips, looking right into her eyes. He couldn’t get enough of those sumptuous lips of hers “ I mean what we are doing right now, what if we get caught?” Brenda exclaimed as she turned around to walk away from Wills. But he stretched out his hand to catch her by the waist, holding her closely to his chest “ You know we love each other and we can’t stay away from each other. Don’t make it hard for the both of us !” Wills murmured into her chest, as he turned her around and his hand moved to her lower waist, holding her firmly against him His masculine energy for his age needs to be questioned. Wills loves to keep his health in check, making him look much younger than his age. He looked into her soul, seducing her into coming alive for him. His adrenaline pumped slowly. “ All that matters is me and you right now. Nothing a
“It’s nothing. I think it’s time you take your leave. I’ll speak to Hardy and get back to you, okay?”“But I just got here! Why are you chasing me away?”Wills rolled his eyes at his sister. He needed her out of the house before anything else went wrong.“I’ll speak to you later. I have some important business associates coming over, and I don’t want them seeing you here.”Wills carefully dragged his sister up. “You can’t possibly throw your sister out, and why can’t I meet your business associate?”“Come on, we’ll talk later, okay!”Wills said, pushing her carefully with her bag to the door. The moment he got her out of the house, he sighed.“That was a close one!” he said to himself casually as he made his way into the room, where he found Brenda in a funny position.Her legs were hanging high on the bed, with the other part of her body on the floor, which made it quite funny.“Could you please help?”Their weekend had ended as soon as it started. Returning to their normal life wasn
He looked around while still on the phone, listening to his friends as they hailed him.He saw his dad’s suit lying carefully on the edge of the couch.Moving toward it, he searched the pockets and found his dad’s card sitting neatly inside.Hardy didn’t intend to work at his father’s company; all he wanted was to be a shareholder.With a larger percentage of income coming to him to maintain his luxurious lifestyle, the moment his father…Picking up the card, Hardy pulled out his phone to call his old friends.“Hey man, I’m back in town. Let’s go clubbing!”He ran out of the house before his father could come out.He looked around for the key that was usually kept in the front pouch of the house.“I wonder if he thinks everyone is like him, always so free with his things. I just hope it’s the same pin…”Driving out of the house, he made his way out of the driveway. Thirty minutes later, He and his friends started partying, dancing to different music, and mingling with different women
“Hardy, whenever you decide to come down, please check in with me before anything else!”Wills shouted to his son, who was still sprawled in bed with another woman.The lady he had met at the shopping mall had been spending nights with him.He smuggled her in last night, not wanting his dad to know, with Nana covering for him.He rolled out of bed, still sleepy. “I guess it’s Monday. You should get going to work!”Hardy said to the woman, still drowsy.“You don’t have a job. Why should you ever work? Your father is a billionaire,” she said, snorting.“You can’t blame me. This is my life. Please get dressed. I’ll drop you off wherever you need to go.”The woman frowned, knowing she might not get easy access to him again if she let him go.She walked slowly toward him, hugging him from behind, smiling.“Why don’t I stay here until you get back? I promise to avoid your dad, and your maid can serve me!”Hardy was irritated. “Don’t call Nana a maid. She is not a maid. Get dressed and get o
Nothing!”He said, picking up the document. “I’ll see you later. I’ll go through the document and get back to you,” knowing full well this wouldn’t end well.He rushed out of his father’s office, looking around to see if he had lost her. “Now I know where I’ve seen that face!”He walked out of the company, ignoring the stares from the ladies. Calling his friend, “Can you come over to my place? We need to talk!”“Alright, I’ll meet you there,” his friend responded, ending the call. Hardy made his way home, had lunch with Nana, and then met his friend, who was waiting in the car.“I need your help tracking someone.”“Really, who?”“A lady I met today!”“Oh, I see, another one of your escapades.”“I feel like this is different. She’s not like those gold diggers, and I need to know more about her. Find out everything you can!”“Are you sure about this? So, what’s her name?”“I don’t know her name. That’s why we’re going back to my father’s company.”“How come you don’t know her name?” An
“Is everything okay?” Hardy asked as Brenda kept staring at the figure, trying to be certain that she was seeing clearly “ Are you okay?” came the voice of Hardy placing his right hand over hers Looking up at him, stunned, “Yeah, yeah I’m fine, uhmm could you please drop me at the next bus station? I think I might need to get somewhere!” Brenda said, frowning as if she had forgotten about my schedule,” Oh really, why not let me drop you off then ?”“ Oh, no please, I already feel bad about you driving me home, this is more than generous of you”Brenda couldn't wait to get out of his presence, just so she didn't have to speak with him any longer “ it, fine let me drive you to the next station,” he said in a sad toneShe didn't want to burden him any longer, the drive down to the next station was short and quiet. She hopped out almost immediately and she started walking away from his car without even thanking him for his gesture “ Are you sure you'll be fine alone ?” he asked as

“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
The WeddingThe grand ballroom of the Shaun estate was a vision of opulence. Crystal chandeliers bathed the room in soft, golden light, casting a glow over the rows of white roses and lilacs that decorated the aisle. The soft strains of a violin floated through the air as guests murmured amongst themselves, awaiting the arrival of the bride.Brenda stood in front of the large mirror in her bridal suite, her fingers trembling slightly as she adjusted the lace of her dress. The gown, designed by the most sought-after couturier in the country, hugged her curves in a way that made her feel both beautiful and conflicted. She had once dreamed of a wedding like this, but never in a million years had she imagined it would be like this—marrying one man, yet carrying the child of another.Her heart was still caught in a storm of emotions. Will, her lover and the father of her child, stood outside the door, waiting to take her hand. She could hear his soft voice speaking to the guests, his confi
