“Sir, I heard you called for me” my projects coordinator Lisa pops her head into my office. “Yes, I did, I have a project that I want us to discuss, please come in.” She opens the door but does not come in. “Can we do this after my meeting with Ms. Black? She is already in the boardroom waiting for me.” Mia is here, oh my, it’s been a week without seeing her, and even though we speak on the phone, it’s not the same.

“Well then, I might as well be in that meeting, I also need to hear how things are and it’s been a while since I last saw Ms. Black. She might even think the CEO of this company doesn’t care about his clients.” Lisa smiles, she doesn’t need to know anything. “Then let’s not keep her waiting.” She says then leaves, I fix my suit and follow Lisa to the boardroom.

I hear her melodic voice before I see her, she and Lisa are laugh

    LindyAm standing in the hallway watching Liam play with the kids, they are laughing and look happy. He has been happy the past couple of days, not the normal happy but like when he was with her happy. Could he have gone back to her? I swear if he did then I am divorcing him and kicking him out so that he can be with her in peace. “Babe, come join us.” He calls me with the biggest smile on his face.I shook my head. “No, I have to get dinner started,” I tell him then walk to the kitchen, he follows me and stands on the other side of the island. “What’s wrong?” he asks as if he doesn’t know what is wrong. “You look happy,” I comment and he frowns. “Am I not supposed to be happy?” he asks. “I mean like when you were with her kind of happy. Are you back together with her?” he looks at me for a moment without saying a word.“I told you I will not talk

    Mia“Come on Mia, give me a chance,” Jason begs for the hundred times. He came to ask me out, and I refused. But he doesn’t want to give up. “Mia, admit that your relationship with that guy is not the same and it will never be the same if his wife found out about you.” Now he is pissing me off. “I told you before to stop talking about my relationship like you know what is going on in it. I have told you time and time again that the only relationship you and I will ever have, is being parents to Sam. Nothing more.” I open the cupboard and take out a glass.All this talk has made me thirsty. “Mia, this is not good for you and it will only end with you getting hurt. You deserve better than this and I curse myself for leaving you because if I didn’t leave then none of this will be happening.” And yet I am glad it happened. I am glad he left because if he didn’t, I wouldn’t hav

    LiamGetting that text from Mia drove me crazy, I had just gotten out of a meeting when she sent it and my heart skipped a beat. I got worried because my woman doesn’t send such a text and when I received it. I thought of Sam and his condition. I didn’t even go back into my office; I headed to the elevator and went downstairs. On the road I ignored all the rules of the road, I just wanted to get to my woman and find out what is wrong.When I got to her place, I park and hurried to her door. I knocked but there was no response, so; I take out my key and opened the door. “Mia!” I called out her name as I closed the door. “Mia, baby where are you?” I am getting frustrated now. “Am here?” She appeared from the hallway looking a mess and her eyes puffy and red.I pull her into my arms. “Baby, what’s wrong?” she sniffs holding me tighter and I do the same. “Talk to me, lo

    “Bella, come, baby, let mommy feed you” Mia calls her two-year-old daughter to come and eat. They are at the park with Talia and Sam. The boy is now five years old. “This one takes after her father,” Talia comments looking at Bella ignoring her mother’s call as sheContinues playing. “I disagree, her father listens and is a gentleman. Bella is a rebel and always does the opposite of what you ask.” Talia shakes her head in disagreement.“I still think she takes after her father; she might be stubborn and rebellious now but mark my words. Bella is going to be a lady.” Mia looks at her daughter, a beautiful little thing with her father’s eyes.Liam never stopped seeing his mistress, and his wife Lindy trusted him again after a year.

After they discharged her, they went out of the hospital together.“Take the kids home Liam, I have to go somewhere.” Liam looked at her trying to see her mood, but she gave nothing away. He nodded. “Come on guys, let’s go home.” He told the kids, and they got into the car. “Why is mommy not coming with us?” asked their oldest.“She has to go somewhere and will meet us at home.” Liam explained, Lindy went to the window and smiled at her kids. “I will see you guys soon; I promise not to be long.” She assured them then moved back, and the car drove out the hospital parking lot.She stood there watching until it was out of sight then she took out her phone and made a call to someone.

    Liam When I got home, I called the nanny to come and stay with the kids for a couple of hours. Something was not sitting right with me; I could not take my mind off Lindy and where she might have gone. The woman was just discharged from the hospital, what could not wait until she was hundred percent alright before taking care of it?When the nanny arrived, the kids were already showed and going to bed since they did not sleep much last night. I told her I will be back in a couple of hours and then went out to my car. I thought of calling Lindy before driving and asking her where she is but thought against it.She doesn’t want to talk to me right now and I doubt she will tell me where she is. I took out my phone and went to find my iPhone. I was not ready for the location it gave me, “No, no, no this can’t be.” I drove out fast out of my yard racing to get to Mia’s house.What is Lindy doing there, I

    Liam I rushed into the hospital and went straight to the front desk. “Mia, Mia Black, she was brought in here about two hours ago,” I tell the lady and she clicks away on her computer then pauses before looking at me. “I will get a doctor for you, sir. Please wait here.” She tells me and I nod. She looks nervous but I brush that thought off my mind, there is no time to be caring about others at the moment, Mia is more important.After a few minutes of waiting the lady comes back with a doctor and I meet him halfway. “Doctor, I am Liam Brown and Mia is the mother of my child. I want to know how she is doing?” I don’t give the doctor time to speak as I introduce myself and ask about Mia’s condition. “Mr. Brown, I am sorry to tell you this, but we tried everything we could, but the patient lost a lot of blood, and the glass was lodged into a very delicate place. We lost the patient, I am sorr

    They went to the lounge and sat on the couches together. Sitting close to each other. “Tell me, where have you been hiding?” lindy smiled shyly. “At the office, I enjoy being alone and working on what needs to be done. I am an introvert, you see, and things like these are not my scene.” She man smiled at her.He has been looking for a woman like this for a while, one that works and would challenge him intellectually. Not just spending his money, but one who knows how to make it as well.The type of woman that would look like a homeless person at home but crush you in the boardroom then looks like a model at events like these. That was his ideal wife, and this woman was ticking all his boxes.“I must say, a woman like you would make a good wife.” That hit a spot-on Lindy. She was a good wife, and where did that leave her?

    Lindy took the parcel and hailed a taxi to the hotel that was booked for her. She was paranoid after getting the parcel and kept looking around to see if she was not followed. Even when she was in the taxi, she kept looking out the window and would hold her breath each time there was a car behind them and wonder if it was following them. The taxi finally came to a stop at the hotel, and she hurried inside. After doing all the paperwork she went up to her room. There was a dress on the bed and an invitation card to some fundraiser. There was another note. ‘He likes women, especially sophisticated ones. Have your hair in an updo style and play your part well.’ That was the message on the card and Lindy could not help but think this was a trap to finally get her killed. At the same time, she wanted to go back so she can get a status report on her children. It has been six months of not knowing and it was killing her. She desperately wanted to know what was going on in the outside world

    “Dad why don’t you date again, mom was arrested for years and now she is a fugitive of the law and aunt Mia is dead. Why don’t you date someone else, I promise all of us will be fine with it.” Caroline asked her father as they sat on the table having dinner.“She is right dad, you raised us well, and you have been everything we can ever ask for in a parent and it’s time for you to be happy again.” Andy added. “As long as you are happy am sure all of us will be happy too.” Andy continued.“I hear what you all are saying but I could never date again.” Their father told them and they looked at each other before Caroline asked again. “Why?” Liam sighed. “Because your mother and Mia were the only women for me.” He said then took a sip of his wine.“But you can find someone else dad who will be just as good as them and there are a lot of good single women out there who would love to date you.” Liam shook his head.“No other woman will ever be good enough for me.

    The smirk on Drake’s face showed how proud he was, he averted his eyes from Lindy and looked at his men’s scared faces and chuckled. “I told you we can do this all night but, I think the lady needs to calm down or she will kill the rest all of you without blinking.” He scanned their faces getting all serious again.“I suggest you take this time to think about what happened here and maybe when we come back or before that you would have told us who the rat is.” He looked at them with cold eyes before looking at Lindy then nodded his head.Lindy walked to his side and stood looking at the men coldly. “The White’s are the enemy and if you are hiding your rat of a friend, then you will be treated as enemy as well. I believe you all know what happens to our enemies.” She gave them on last cold look before leading the way to the door.Drake followed suit with their guard hurrying to take their positions in front, be

    The week went by slowly for Lindy; she was living in constant fear and was having nightmares. All this was caused by the fact that every morning when she opened the newspaper there was something about Jason and Andy.Every picture their man sent, Jason was with Andy and Lindy could not help but be scared by all this. She didn’t know what this meant and she couldn’t even bother Drake about it as he was also busy preparing for the war he believes is coming.To make matters worse, his man never got back to him. Usually, it would take a day or two for him to respond but it has been a week of silence on his end and Drake could not shake the feeling that something happened to him.He was thinking that Jason didn’t only come to see and to warn Lindy to stay away from his son. When he was there, he mentioned knowing about his man but he said he didn’t know who he was. But now that his man is not responding and Drake could not help but think that
