In a big conference room at the Jones’ group corporation, several directors were having a board meeting. It was anything but peaceful for the directors were in a heated discussion due to the company’s stock prices that had abruptly plummeted the other week.

“We need answers! Mr Thompson, you assured us you could run the company well and take it to greater heights!” One of the directors said, hitting his fist on the table, making the other follow suit with complaints.

“Yeah! We risked a lot and it would really be bad if it was all for naught. What are your plans Mr Thompson? I heard the company hasn’t had any new projects since Miss Jones left.”

“That’s right.. the company hasn’t been doing well ever since we changed the CEO. We should have just kept Miss Jones.”

“Hmmmm.. aren’t you the ones who kicked her out because you were against a woman running the company?” A certain calm looking woman spoke, making the other directors turn to look at her.

    Eric’s heart thundered when he thought of all possible reasons for Rita’s return. ‘Did she find incriminating evidence against me?’ He thought but shook his head. It wasn’t possible. He believed his plan was flawless and not even the world’s best hacker could find dirt on him. With that thought in mind, Eric smirked and visibly relaxed. He turned to look at the directors and said, “so you are going to allow someone who committed fraud to be part of the company’s board of directors? Who knows how she got those shares?” The directors pondered on the question for a second and gave Rita questioning stares. Rita inhaled sharply and explained, “firstly, I would like to announce that I got married to Christopher Stevens, the founder and CEO of the Stevens' electronics group.” “He helped me out and had me released on bail. Right now, we are searching for the culprit who framed me.” “Most importantly, the shares in my hands were not obtained il

    “Awwwwww,” Rita swooned the moment she found Chris waiting for her outside the Jones’ group. It seemed he had been waiting the whole time when she was in the meeting. She walked towards the car and got into the backseat as Chris turned to look at her. “You’re done? How did it go?” Chris asked as he closed the file he was looking at while Rita closed the door and made herself comfortable. “It went great actually. Eric, like you said, took the bait. I now know the directors who worked with him in his scheme,” she said, sighing slightly. The whole ordeal was mentally draining for her. “Ok good. We just need to find evidence and have them locked up. Did the prick do anything to you?” Chris asked, gritting his teeth as his nostrils flared slightly. He had caught a whiff of a musky manly scent on Rita. “Uhm..” Rita cleared her throat as she tried to look at the surrounding tall buildings, the car had started off the moment she closed the door.

    A few days had passed and Rita had been working in the Jones’ group as the new vice CEO. Something she wasn’t keen on but it was necessary if she wanted to investigate Eric. The past few days were not bad. She tried to familiarize herself with her new office. Rita was going to bide her time. Her main aim was to go into her former office and search for documents showing the transfer of company funds into ghost accounts. But it was going to be hard as Eric now owned that office and his assistant was always around. Eric so far, had not made a move on Rita. Something she was grateful for, she wasn’t in the mood to have anything to do with him. He would only look at her weirdly during meetings and Rita did not miss the look of desire and lust in his eyes. It totally threw her off. What was he thinking? That she would crawl back into his arms after all he done? Rita was going through some files on her desk when a knock on the door made her l

    It was only the next morning that Rita understood what Chris meant when he said Jasmine could be mischievous. She had forced them to wear matching pink t-shirts with white jeans and bunny ear headbands. Although Chris refused to put the headband on his head, saying the pink t-shirt was as far as he could go. Jasmine wanted to whine but one glance from Chris made her shut up. She wasn’t going to push it. “Sweetheart, leave that. I’ll pack everything,” Chris told Rita who was trying to lift a cooler box and put it in the car. They had packed a lot of necessities, since it was an adventurous trip. Rita watched as Chris packed a portable gas stove into the car. Wondering what it was for but when he brought a basket full of pasta, canned food like tuna, beans, tomatoes and spices, a few pots and spoons , she understood. They would cook their own food. This was her first camping trip and she couldn’t help but be excited. “There, done

    The sound of a bed creaking as it hit the wall resonated in the room as Chris thrust harder and faster into his wife, groaning loudly while at it. “Ba.. baby… the .. ahh.. bed…Oh god… it’s m-a-k-i-n-g noise,” Rita said breathlessly as Chris’s deep thrusts made it hard for her to speak. “I don’t care,” Chris said, picking up his pace as he tried to make Rita scream without holding back. She was stifling her moans, not wanting the other people in the house to hear. “Oh.. yeah.. yeah! Chris!” At last she couldn’t take it anymore and moaned wantonly. Chris kept hitting a spot that made her lose her mind and she let go, reveling in the pleasure he was bringing her. “That’s it! Scream my name baby!” Chris grunted, he was kneeling in between Rita’s legs thrusting into her as he held her legs over his shoulder. Boom! Boom! Boom! The bed kept creaking and banging on the wall without restraint, making Rita blush. “Chris..” “Focus

    “Hold it down there so that I stake it down from this side. After this side is secure then you can stake that side too,” Chris heard Jayden say as they pitched the tent on the tent pad. Chris didn’t answer but crouched down, holding the tent in place until Jayden was done. He got up, about to stake his side when he was suddenly pulled down by his collar and a pair of soft lips met his lips in a hot kiss. Being suddenly kissed, Chris was momentarily stunned. But from the sweet scent wafting from the warm body that was plastered against him, he knew it was Rita, his wife. She was kissing him passionately such that he felt a jolt of electricity at the contact and felt himself throb. Breaking out of his shock, Chris cupped the back of Rita’s neck and kissed her back passionately. The couple pried each other’s mouths open and tasted every inch as their tongues fought for dominance. Of course Chris won and kissed Rita roughly and deeply. He had no i

    Jayden Molten, a senior doctor at the general hospital who is also Christopher Stevens' best friend was quite good looking and a ladies man. He’s tall with a height of six feet two inches, he had medium brown hair with blond highlights and a manly squarish face with gray stormy eyes. Naturally, Jayden was a playboy. He would often change women like clothes because he believed no one could make him change his ways. Until a short red-haired girl walked into his life. She had been posted to the general hospital as one of the new doctors two years ago. Jayden couldn’t help but be mesmerized by her large brown eyes that seemed to be sucking his soul in. She was the most beautiful short creature he had ever seen. It could be said that it was love at first sight. Being a senior resident, Jayden held himself back from making a move on her due to work ethics. They worked together but their conversations never went past being professional. From

    On a Wednesday morning at the Jones’ group. Rita was sitting in her office having a cup of coffee. They had driven back from their mini vacation last night but didn’t have enough rest since they arrived in the early hours of the morning. Chris urged Rita to take the day off but she declined. Today, she was going to search Eric’s office. She heard he would be going for a meeting outside the company with his assistant so that was a great opportunity for her and she didn’t want to miss it. Time was running out. It irked her that a criminal like Eric was walking around freely without an ounce of guilt. The sooner she got dirt on him, the better. Chris was a little skeptical about what Rita planned to do incase she was caught. But he understood that they had to try something otherwise, they wouldn’t be able to have Eric arrested. After finishing her coffee and checking the time, Rita stood up from her chair and left the office. By now, Eric must ha

    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

    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
