Work was getting more hetic, I was trying to finish all the work I had but I never it could be this much.I was a little bit halfway done when my secretary walked in. Ever since I sacked the last one, I have been wary of who I had to employ and had to employ one of Dad’s former worker Julius. He knew what I needed and was always ahead of me by making sure work is intact and there are no mistakes.“You have a visitor” He informed and I frowned. I wasn’t expecting anybody.“Who is it?” I asked and he said it was Amy and a smile was immediately on my lips.“Let her in” I said and he nodded.“You look stressed” She said immediately she sees my face when she entered.“Work is much” I replied.“How about you take a break and have lunch. I prepared your favorite” She said and I smiled. I missed her.“This tastes heavenly” I said once I had a bite. I needed to finish all my work and have some alone time with her. I needed her. It was as if I am addicted to her, she is my drug.“Are you still
I woke up the next morning with Amelia curled up next to me. Her head was on my shoulders and my hand wrapped around her waist. She was sleeping soundly and even though her hair was a total mess, she still looked very cute sleeping like that. I shifted a little bit in order not to disturb her sleep and her lips.Taking a look at her beautiful face before I finally walked out of bed and headed towards the bathroom to get ready for the day. I finished showering and headed back to the room with a towel wrapped around my waist.“Morning” I said when I see her stretching.“Morning” She replied.“By the way, you look good with those marks.”I said while referring to her neck. She immediately got up and sprinted to the bathroom before running back to the bedroom.“Did you really have to go to this extent. It look as if I had been run over” She said and I smiled.“This only mean that I did a good job and no one will dare look at you” I said and she scoffed before grabbing a towel and going to
Delle and Amy are having a girls night which means in the one hour or even thirty minutes, the boys will be here. Amy and I came back from Paris last week along with Daniel and Dad. Dad had work he had to do and decided to come along with us. He grabbed Daniel two days after we arrived talking about how he needed to spend more time with his grand child before he travels back. The man is obessessed with Daniel.“The main man in the building”Scott yelled when he entered the building alongside Jeremy who seems to be in a bad mood by the way.“Why do you always have to be in a bad mood anytime we meet?” I asked.“Remember when you one particular person said I can’t meet my one night stand again” He said while giving both of us the dath stares.“Yeah…..What happened?” I asked.“Well……He works for my dad” He answered and we both burst out laughing.“This is seriously not funny. You should have seen my reaction when I realize that he is working for my dad. I couldn’t even say a word. Do I
JER’S POVThe boys and I were at it drinking all through the night… I woke up to the sound of my phone ringing and immediately turned it off. My head hurts....How long were we drinking for.....Am never following either Ethan or Scott to a club again...I turn over to see him Aaron, his hair is in a mess but he still managed to look hot and ravishing at the same time. How did I end up here?. All I remember was trying to get Scott away from where he was beeing beaten, even though the stupid guy clearly wanted to prove that he can fight, he wasn’t in a clear state of mind or position to. We were about when someone came over to us..................................FLASHBACK.................“Hey pretty boy" Aaron said.“Leave me alone. Go flirt with your girl" I said while holding on to Ethan who by the looks like he was going to vomit any time soon.“You seem like you both need help getting home." he said.“I can go home. Am perfectly okay, right?" I said while staggering and lookin
I didn’t know what to do. Amelia birthday was in two weeks and I have no idea what to give to her as a birthday. We have been together for over four months now and it has been the best months of my life. I wanted to give her the best birthday gift but am out of ideas.“How about a birthday party?” Scott asked.“He said a gift, why do you always have to be this stupid?” Jer asked.“Can we just focus on the issue at hand?”I asked knowing that the duo are more than likely to start a fight.“Fine, just because you need my help” Scott said.I decided to call Amelia before leaving Jer’s house but she wasn’t picking up. I called and ask Delle if she was with her but she said she had gone home long ago.I was close to the house and I noticed that the lights were turn off, this is so unlike Amelia, she always leave the front lights on. I was about opening the front door when Samantha came running out.“Is everything alright?” I asked.“No sir”“What happened?” I asked having a feeling that I
One moment I was that she was safe, the next moment she was on the floor in a pool of her own blood.A scream leaves my lips when I see her drop yo the ground, memories came rushing back, the phone call, Uncle Francis yelling at me for being a failure, Sophie threatening to kill Amy.“Ethan” Her voice was faint.“Don’t speak, Amy. Am sorry it took me long to remember you. Am sorry. I have to stop the blood. I can- I can” I said as I look around but I couldn’t focus on anything as the tears keeps coming up. I can’t lose her. “I have to stop it”.I ripped off my sleeve and press it on her wound. “You are not going to die. You will not die. You can’t leave me alone.” I kept chanting the words over and over again but my tears were betraying me.“Ethan I-I-” Blood gushed out of the corner of her mouth as she coughed.“Shh babe shh” I said as I was trembling with sobs and ran my hands through her hair.“Shh, you are going to be okay.” I assured and she gave a weak smile.I heards sirens fr
It been over two months since the incident occurred, we have a certain stage in our relationship that I was happy about, but as much as I am happy about it. I was sad that I couldn’t give him a child.Ethan and Daniel went on a father-son date while I was at home preparing dinner.“You look like you’ve been hit by a truck over and over again” Delle said once she entered the kitchen.“Am I suppose to take that as a compliment or what?” I asked while setting the table.“Are you staying over for dinner?” I asked and she nodded. This means either Scott has offended her or he is busy.“Which of the two is it?” I asked.“He had to oversee some business at his hotel” She said already having an idea of what I am talking about.“Are you sure you are okay though, you look pale” She asked and I nodded.“How about taking a pregnancy test” She said and I raised my eye brows at her.“Cause am suppose to be pregnant” I said in a mocking voice.“Am just giving a suggestion, it wouln’t hurt to take a
I woke up to the annoying sound of my alarm, got up and headed towards the bathroom for a start of a new day.Dad wanted me to oversee the business here in Nantes, France. As much as I loved working here, it is totally boring, my friends aren’t here to keep me accompany and all I do is go to work,come back late, have dinner and sleep. The annoying cycle have been going on for about six to seven years now.I couldn’t bear to go to San Francisco, I couldn’t look at him and explain to him that he is making a mistake getting married to her.It was my fault but at the same time, I can’t risk his mom killing her. It wasn’t fair.I got downstairs after having a quick shower and dressing up. I eat the regular yet annoying cereal I always have.“Have a good day Sir” Melinda said and I headed towards the door and I wave her off.I got to work and started for the day, halfway through my work, Rissa burst in. I hated the girl guts but have no choice but to play along since her dad and mine were

He wasn’t speaking to me. He is really taking my word to the next level.He pretends that I don’t exist and it hurts.Why the hell does it even hurts?.“Will you fucking talk to me?” I asked as he was about to go back to his room after taking his dinner again.He has been doing this for over a week nowIt was annoying not only because it felt weird but also because I was the one who suggested pretending not to know each other.I didn't know he will really take this to a whole new level.The mother fucker ignores me at home and even at work, the only time he speaks is whenever I indirectly ask him something .He didn’t say anything but turns to go up the stairs. I ran after him and block him from leaving.“Will you at least say something?” I said.“I thought you wanted us to pretend that you don’t exist.”“Am sorry, okay. I was wrong. I shouldn’t have said it that way” I said.“Whatever” He said before walking away.Is he being serious right now?I literally just apologized.“Who got
The boys and I were at it drinking all through the night…I woke up to the sound of my phone ringing and immediately turned it off.I turn over to see him Noah, his hair is in a mess but he still managed to lookhot and ravishing at the same time.How did I end up here?. All I remember was trying to get Scott away from where he was beeing beaten, even though the stupid guy clearly wanted to prove that he can fight, he wasn’t in a clear state of mind or position to. Scott is a bad influence on the both of us. We always end up doing crazy shitty stuffs whenever he is around.I quickly pack my stuffs and tip toe over to the entrance but stopped when I heard his voice.“Running away again?” He asked in his husky voice.“I just didn’t want to disturb you. You were sleeping” I said and he hummed.“I don’t think I can believe you any longer” He said.“Why?’ I asked while frowning.“Cause this was the same thing you did last time.” He said.“So you remembered about last time” I said while ge
I take back my word, Mom hates me.I was staring at Noah as he was dragging his luggage into the living room.“Where do I put my luggage?” He asked.“Lillian will show you your room” I said while pointing to my cook, Lillian who immediately took his bags and lead him upstairs.I took out my phone and dial mom’s number.“Are you being serious right now?” I asked her once she picks up her phone.“What are you talking about?” She asked.“Of all the people in this world that I could have had as a room mate, you chose Uncle Johnson’s son Noah” I said and she hissed.“With the stupid stunt you gave at the dinner and making me lose a billion dollar deal, that’s the least way I could get you punished knowing how much you hate his guts since you were kids” Mom said.I don’t even remember knowing him.“He can’t live here” I said.“He can and he will” She said.“And I will appreciate if you stop disturbing me” She said before hanging up on me.“Is everything alright?” A voice said and I turn aro
Dad called and said Mom said all of us are to attend dinner.This isn’t going to end up on a good note.I got home a little late and Shua was the one who answered the door.“To give you an head start bro, Rissa and her family are here” Shua said and I nodded.It is the perfect place I can put a stop to their delusion and make sure they don’t disturb me ever again.“We’ve been waiting for you since. Come have a seat” Mom said in a sweet voice while leading me to sit beside Rissa.Her parents, two older brother and her elder sister were here.Perfect place for the perfect surprise.“We were talking about the wedding preparations” Justina said.“Whose wedding preparations?” I asked while acting oblivious to the whole drama making my dad and brothers try to make a cough out of a chuckle.“Ours of course babe” Rissa said.“The last time I checked, I wasn’t in a relationship and I can say that am single to the core” I said while removing her hands from my shoulder.“Jeremy, I will advice yo
I was beyond livid, how could she do that?I made my choice clear.I don’t want to have anything intimate to do with Rissa.“Are you okay?” Mimi said while walking into the living room. I must have woken her up.“Can you tell my brother when he wakes up that I am at Scott’s?” I asked her and she nodded.I drove like a maniac hoping that it would subdue my anger but it didn’t, instead it intensifies it the more.“You look like you’re really going to murder me” Scott said when I crashed on his couch.“She doesn’t get to do that to me” I said on the verge of tears.“How about we go out? Have fun, and forget for a minute that you’re about to get married to a person that you don’t like” He said and I nodded.It was sort of our thing to do that. Pretend that everything is okay for a while by drinking our ass off and then talk about our problems later when we deem it fit to.Scott and I went over to his club and drank as if there is no tomorrow and seriously I felt free. Like I didn’t have
I ended up driving round the city before deciding to go to Jason’s house. I feel at home whenever am there. There are no screams except from Kevin’s tantrums which is bearable compared to Mom’s.She always and constantly wants to have control of everything going on in my life.“Sorry for crashing in late” I said when Jason opened the door.“Dad already called, so I was already expecting you” He said with a smile while leading me inside.“Uncle Jer!!!!” Kevin shouted once he saw me come in alongside his dad.“Hi there” I said with a smile.“You are more handsome than in the camera, even more than dad” He said.“Really?” I said while chuckling.“I feel offended” Jason said while pouting before making his way over to Mimi.“You’ve finally decided to grace us with your presence despite the fact that you’ve for about a month now” She said.“Am sorry” I said knowing giving excuses was a failed plan.“Forget about her tonight and enjoy yourself”Jason whispered to me when we starting watching
I got a message from Ethan’s girlfriend saying she wants to meet. This can’t be good. How does she even know that am around except if Ethan had blab about my arrival to her. I was just deliberating on Ethan the truth, Why does it have to me that is always involved with the crazy set of people.She sent me an address that was about two hours away from where I was.“Sophie wants you to destroy this” She said when she arrived at the location.“Am not cut out of this bullshit. You guys need to stop toying with Ethan. He has feelings too you know” I said.“Please spare me the crap and just do your job” She said before heading towards her car.I got into my car and drove off.The folder contains what seems to be an encryted file. There was no way in hell that I was destroying this, I needed this if am I ever going to tell Ethan the truth.I had gotten a phone call seven years ago from a hospital saying they have a certain Ethan Anderson and that I needed to come quickly. For the first tim
We got home and quickly unpacked, Mom wasn’t around like always probably out partying with some friends.“How does it feel to be back home. “Dad asked once I have finally settle in.“Feels like shit” I replied while Jason and Shua chuckle.“I still don’t know why you are trying to run away, you haven’t meet with your friends in years. Are you having a fight or what?” He asked and I replied with a no.I couldn’t explain to anyone the real reason behind what has happened. I couldn’t tell them why I was adamant and hell bent on leaving. On why I was scared that people will die because of my actions.About how much I fear losing the most important people in my life.I was scared of Ethan and Scott’s reaction when they find out what actually happened seven years ago….“How the hell am I engaged to Rissa without my own permission?” I asked Dad while focusing my attention on him again.“When you have a mom like yours, you will realize that stuffs happen without you knowing about it”He said
