Bang!

“What the…” Chris trailed his words when he saw Rita at the door, ready to blow her top.

She approached his desk while glaring at him and her chest heaved up and down due to anger.

“Why the fuck did you ask companies to shun me? Christopher Stevens what the hell are you up to?” Rita hissed.

“Hello to you too.” Chris muttered with a cocky smirk.

Irritation flashed through Rita and she felt like strangling Chris. ‘How dare he..’

“I don’t know what you are talking about.” Chris said as he stood up and walked around the table to stand face to face with Rita.

“Oh please, cut the charade. I was told it was you. Honestly, I never thought you could be so despicable!!!” Rita shouted, her cheeks were puffed up due to anger and Chris thought she looked adorable.

When Chris didn’t respond, Rita became more angry. “What’s your intention huh? To keep me as your caged little bird? What are you so afraid of hmmm? That if I get a

    “What’s happening here?” The restaurant manager came forward and questioned. People in the restaurant just stared at them in amusement. Of course they wouldn’t lose the opportunity to watch some drama. Life was boring after all. Rita’s heart raced when she saw the huge manager. Rushing to the unconscious man, she tugged at his sleeve to see if he was awake. She pressed two of her fingers together and placed them on his neck to check his pulse. Suddenly, she was yanked away from the man and came face to face with Chris who had bloodshot eyes. “Don’t you dare touch another man!!” He roared, anger evident in his voice as he gritted his teeth. The sight of Rita’s smooth hands touching that disgusting man irked him. Strangely he wanted to be the only one she touched. Even though he knew that he was treading a dangerous path, he couldn’t help but get drawn to it like a moth is drawn to a flame. Chris’s harsh voice startled Rita and she trembled slig

    A few hours had passed and Chris was beginning to get antsy. He had expected Rita to barge into his office to demand an explanation for why he had given her such a job. But according to John, she was working in silence, not looking angry at all. Chris grabbed his phone and texted John. Chris: How’s it going? John: It’s going fine sir. Madam seems to have adjusted already. Chris furrowed his brow at the response. He texted back. Chris: Does she look angry? John: No sir… she’s smiling occasionally. Chris sighed and put his phone back on the table, pinching the bridge of his nose. He never expected the spoilt princess to be so headstrong. He only wanted to humble her. Back then, she had said he was out of her league. Yet, ten years later, she had become an assistant to the man she scorned for not having a bright future. She had become a little worm that he could easily squish with his hands. Chris had worked extra hard because of this. Because he wanted to show her that you don’

    Rita kept looking at the clock on the wall, feeling anxious. Her heart was racing in excitement. She didn’t know whether it was because she would be going to an event, or it was because she’d be spending time with Chris. She was no fool.. she knew what the flutters in her stomach or the tingles coursing through her when Chris was in close proximity meant. It was totally confusing. She thought she loved Eric. After all, he’s all she’s ever dated ever since she came of age. Rita had to learn to love Eric in the past after seeing his efforts. He was a hopeless romantic. He would surprise her with flowers and gifts by her room’s doorstep back in the university. When she was once admitted in the hospital for dehydration, he had secretly entered her room and placed a humidifier and some flowers in the ward for her to be comfortable. Although Eric would pretend like he didn’t know what Rita was talking about when she thanked him for the surprises.

    Eric Thompson had arrived earlier at the banquet and witnessed the grand entrance of Rita and Chris. To say he was shocked would be an understatement, he was petrified. He actually thought Rita was still incarcerated so seeing her here by the side of the most powerful man in the country surprised him to the core. “Would she want to take revenge on me?” He mumbled to himself. His heart raced when he thought of how she was involved with a powerful man like Christopher Stevens. “Relax babe, remember everything we did was properly done. Everything shows that Rita did it herself.” Patricia Crawford said as she tightened her hold on Eric’s arm. She had also recognized Rita and the handsome man who was looking for her some weeks ago. Her chest tightened with jealousy as she glared holes into Rita’s back. Patricia’s words had put Eric at ease. Indeed there was no need to worry for every evidence pointed in Rita’s direction. For some unknown reason, Er

    Chris had been in a serious discussion with Abdurrahman and Ibrahim in a private lounge. They had concluded and had decided to sign the contract the coming week. “Christopher, there’s a young man who’s trying to join our project. He said he’s the new CEO of the Jones group. What do you think? Should we incorporate him?” Abdurrahman asked. Chris had been looking for a way to bring down Eric. He had already sought advise from his lawyers and they had stated how it would be hard to charge him with theft. The way he got the company looked clean. Only Rita was implicated in the process. Having a partnership with Eric would be the ultimate weapon to use against him. So Abdurrahman’s proposal was highly welcomed by Chris. He had already thought of a plan on how to bring Eric down and get Rita’s company back. “No problem, he can come on board. After all, we want fresh blood right?” Chris remarked and they all laughed heartily. Chris put down h

    When Rita entered the car, she gave Chris a small smile to mask her emotions. They rode the car in silence until they parked outside skybar. When Rita saw the place they had come to, she looked up at Chris, confused. “Thought you’d need a drink after that ordeal.” Chris said as he unbuckled his seat belt and stepped out of the car. Rita followed him out in silence, she was still in low spirits. The moment Chris and Rita entered a private lounge, excited voices erupted in the air. “Surprise!!!” Rita’s breath hitched when she saw her friends in the lounge, with a man she couldn’t recognize. She turned her gaze towards the man next to her. She didn’t know how to describe him anymore, sometimes he was cold, other times he was sweet. Most times he was playful. ‘Just which one is the real you Chris?’ As if hearing her thoughts, Chris turned and they locked eyes. Rita’s heart skipped a beat. ‘Why is he so handsome?’ “Ahem… I think you

    The next day. “Arrrrgh!” Rita groaned in frustration as she recalled the previous night’s activities while showering in the bathroom. Rita couldn’t believe she let alcohol control her to that extent. What would Chris think of her now? She dreaded thinking about the aftermath of their little wild adventure. When Rita woke up 30 minutes earlier, she had delayed in opening her eyes in fear of coming face to face with Chris. Since it was a Saturday, they were likely to both stay home. But Rita soon realized she was alone in bed much to her relief. At least she had ample time to compose herself. Rita’s relief only lasted a few seconds as her heart sank. Chris left just like that after what they had done last night. “Does it mean it meant nothing to him?” Rita mumbled to herself, clearly conflicted. She didn’t know whether to feel relieved that she didn’t have to face Chris just yet, or to feel distraught that he didn’t wait for her

    Rita was taken aback by Chris’s question. She felt like she had heard that kind of question before. Then it hit her. Years ago… when they had just enrolled into college. ~Flashback~ Rita: 18 years old Eric: 19 years old Chris: 20 years old It was a Saturday afternoon and Rita had just finished having a group discussion and was heading back to her room. She found flowers and a box of chocolates just outside her door. Picking up the flowers, Rita took out the card and read its contents. RITA, WOULD YOU LIKE TO GO ON A DATE WITH ME? There was no name but Rita immediately guessed who it was. “So romantic!” She quickly took out her phone and dialed Eric. “Hel—” “Yes!” Rita said excitedly before Eric could even say hello. “Uhm.. yes to what?” Eric asked on the other side of the phone, sounding confused. “Yes to that date. Don’t go playing dumb with me I know you put flowers and chocolates outside m

    Five years later…. Rita was in a deep sleep when she felt a scorching heat coming from her back. Then she felt a hand wrap around her waist and creep up to her chest, massaging her naked breasts. The heat coming from the hand sent tingles rushing through her body, eliciting a lewd moan from her. Rita felt the hand become restless as it slid down her stomach and slipped in between her thighs, massaging her core that was getting aroused with every minute from the teasing. “Wake up my love… it’s time to fuck, hurry before the children wake up,” Rita heard Chris say and she hummed hornily in response. Noticing that his wife was still in a daze, Chris moved his fingers faster, stimulating her now swollen bud. His finger penetrated her core whilst his thumb rubbed her pleasure button in circles. He roughly massaged the soaked peach as he thrust two fingers in and out of her. “Oh.. that’s it .. fuck! Fuck!” Rita hissed a

    Chris stared deeply at Rita as love swirled in his eyes. She was just perfect for him. He felt like the richest man in the world because he had her by his side. She was his treasure, more than gold and the billions he owned. ‘Fuck! I love you..’ he thought in his head. He took her hand in his and said, “thank you for trusting me, my love. It means a lot to me. After you were betrayed like that, trusting someone else would have been difficult but you trusted me from the word go. I can’t help falling in love with you every day.” Rita’s heart swelled with warmth, “I can’t stop trusting people just because one person betrayed my trust. You’re not that person.. if you betray me, it would be a choice not because you are like Eric. I’ve taken you as you are.. as Chris.. I trust you and love you. Your hazel green eyes say it all, I know my trust is in the right place this time. It’s obvious you are deeply in love with me.. I can feel it and I can see it. It f

    Two months after the honeymoon… “Daddy…” Leon Stevens could be heard wailing as he ran after Chris with his short legs. “No… Daddy,” the little boy tried to run fast but he couldn’t reach his father who had just walked out of the door in time. So he smacked his little hands together and started wailing loudly. “Leon.. daddy is going for work,” Elizabeth said as she lifted the boy into her arms. “No! I wan daddy! Wah!” Leon wriggled in Elizabeth’s arms like a worm. Rita Jones was seated in the backseat of the Maybach, waiting for her husband so that they could go for work. She watched in amusement as Chris went back into the house and carried Leon, trying to pacify him. This was what happened every morning before they left for work. While Liam was still an independent baby, Leon was the complete opposite. He turned out to be a daddy’s boy. Every morning, when he woke up, the first person he would look for was his father. Then th

    “I love you so much..” Christopher Stevens said to Rita Jones in his husky voice while looking down at her lovingly as they swayed to the music on the dance floor. Several hours after they said their vows, they moved to another location for their wedding reception. It was an outdoor reception held at a place called crystal gardens. There was a white beautifully draped tent in the middle of a garden. The sides of the tent were left open to allow the guests to have a scenic view of the property. Inside the tent, metal poles that pitched the tent down were turned into stunning displays of lush greenery and vines. Chairs and round tables were decorated with a gray and champagne color theme. A romantic atmosphere was evoked by the assorted strands of twinkle lights that hang along the ceiling of the tent, creating a soft ambiance. The whole place screamed elegant and classic. Rita and Chris were swaying on the dancefloor as they did the first dance. The lighting made Rita feel like s

  • Forced marriage: Dear wife, you can't escape me   78~ A gift and vows

    Rita Jones felt a sense of dèjà vu while she was seated at the very front of the ballroom. A distant memory flashed through her mind. She remembered when she was just taking over the Jones group after her parents passed away. She was very nervous back then, not knowing how she would be able to run the company. It took time to earn everyone’s respect and after a few years, they were finally ok to be under her leadership. This was why it was a huge blow to her when the company she painstakingly raised to the top was suddenly snatched from her. Rita stood up from her seat and walked towards the stage gracefully as Ciara’s level-up played. She sang along in her heart as she felt the song suited her well. ~ “five, four, three, two, one Leggo! (Watch me) Level up, level up, level up, level up, level up…” ~ Rita did a statement-making hair flip as she moved forward like the boss she was whilst the song continued….

    Five months later… Rita Jones had gone back to work three months after giving birth. The Jones group was doing well and the stock price kept skyrocketing since they had introduced new products into the market. Apart from that, Rita had been working on opening a subsidiary clothing company with Jasmine. Finally, it was time for the big launch. The new company was being launched at the city’s intercontinental hotel. The ballroom was filled with round tables and chairs covered in white linen. There was a stage in front for the showcase of the wedding gown designs. The room was dimly lit with the stage having more lighting. Above the stage was a banner with the words saying, ‘welcome to J&S company launch'. The J stood for Jones while S for Stevens. Reporters had gotten wind of the event and were waiting for Rita to appear so that they could fire her with questions. Seated at the back of a black Maybach, R

    There are so many things to be afraid of in this world but at the top of the list is losing the ones we love. Such was the case with Christopher Stevens and Rita Jones. After moving around aimlessly and finally finding each other again, losing one another would feel like the world had ended. When Chris barged into the ward and saw the look of pure panic and horror on Rita’s face, his heart squeezed painfully. He never wanted to cause her such terror ever again. He had hoped to find her still sleeping so that she wouldn’t find out that the baby was missing. His heart sank the moment he found her staring wide-eyed into Liam’s empty crib, trembling with fright. “Chris! Chris! Liam! I don’t know where …. Where he is.. I had slept.. he’s missing! I – I..” Rita screamed breathlessly as tears streamed down her face. Her loud voice had woken up Leon who had started to cry. “Baby.. calm down—” “How can you tell me to calm down?! I just gave bir

    Rita Jones never thought it was possible to fall in love with someone she had never met. But there she was, staring down at her two bundles of joy who looked like their father with love in her eyes. After the boys were cleaned up and wrapped up warmly, it was now time to feed them. Rita was yet to start producing a lot of milk but the doctor advised it would come out as the babies fed. Liam Stevens was an independent baby, after having his fill, he was held in his father’s arms where he quietly enjoyed the pampering. Leon Stevens on the other hand was very clingy. He just wanted to stay in his mother’s arms regardless of whether he was still feeding or not. It was like he was demanding for the attention he didn’t get while he was in his mother’s womb because he was staying hidden. Soon, visitors entered the ward and Maria fainted from extreme shock the moment she discovered there were two babies instead of one. “Mom!” Chris put Liam in
