"Daisy," she muttered, her voice barely audible. She stared at their dog for a few more seconds, her mind lost in thought. "Actually, Renee," Adrienne interjected, stopping Renee in her tracks. Renee turned to face her, raising an eyebrow in curiosity. "Yes?" "I think I'll come in for a drink. I am so thirsty right now," Adrienne fibbed, attempting to change the subject. Renee smiled, not catching on to Adrienne's little white lie. "Oh, really? That's great. Guess you'll just use this as an opportunity to meet my mom and dad, your potential future father-in-law and mother-in-law," Renee teased, nudging Adrienne playfully. With a sigh, Adrienne shook her head. "I told you I and your brother aren't dating. We are just friends, for real," she clarified, trying to set the record straight. As they walked into the house, a wave of nervousness washed over Renee, causing her to plead with Adrienne. "Please don't say anything about what happened this evening or I'll be grounded or even

Arriving and stepping into her house, Adrienne spotted Lucy waiting for her in the living room. "Hey, aren't you supposed to be on vacation? I thought you guys were flying out this evening?" Adrienne inquired, her brow furrowing in confusion. "Yes, and I was trying to reach you before leaving. I called several times, but you didn't pick up and I got a bit worried," Lucy explained, concern etched on her face. "Something came up. Plus, I left my phone in the car on silent mode, so I didn't even notice it ringing. Besides, I'm not a baby, Lucy. I can take care of myself," Adrienne replied defensively. "I know that, but I was still worried. What came up, though?" Lucy questioned, her curiosity evident. "Just a minor issue. I've already sorted it out. By the way, you should get going now, right? You might still be able to make your flight," Adrienne suggested, glancing at her wristwatch. "Nah, the plane already took off. I had to book another flight for myself tomorrow morning. The ot

Lisa tightened her grip on the steering wheel, her heart pounding within her chest as she scanned the unfamiliar car in front of them. The driver's side door swung open, revealing a man in a sleek black suit and dark sunglasses. A wave of relief washed over Adrienne when she recognized the driver. Despite his stern expression, she couldn't help but feel a sense of familiarity. Adrienne rolled down her window, allowing the crisp air to fill the car. "Seriously? Were you trying to kill us?" she joked, a hint of playfulness in her voice. The man glanced at her, his gaze unwavering behind his shades. "Please step out of your car, ma'am," he instructed, his tone firm and authoritative. "What are you doing here?" she questioned, her voice laced with curiosity and a tinge of concern. He noticed Adrienne's disoriented state and spoke up, his eyes narrowing as he observed her. "Hey, where is your shoe?" he asked. Ignoring the question, Adrienne impulsively wrapped her arms around

"What feels good?" He inquired, genuinely intrigued. Adrienne turned her face towards the breeze, closing her eyes to savor the moment. "This. Everything about this feels so good," she confessed, her voice carrying a sense of utter happiness. Raising his glass, Ryan toasted to the magic of the moment. "Cheers," he said, clinking their glasses together once again. "Congratulations on your recent project, by the way. It's a huge accomplishment," Ryan praised, genuinely admiring Adrienne's dedication and philanthropy. "Oh, that. Thank you," she replied humbly. "I truly admire your charitable nature. You've done so much for society," Ryan continued his words of admiration. Adrienne waved off his praise, downplaying her impact. "Come on. I haven't done that much, you know that," she modestly replied. "Oh, but you have. There must be a special reason why charity holds such a special place in your heart." Adrienne contemplated for a moment before responding. "There's not reall

"Hey beautiful, sorry I kept you waiting," Ryan said with a sheepish smile when he finally spotted Adrienne. After finishing his phone call, he had returned to find her missing from the couch. He called out her name, but there was no response. Taking a step outside, he found her reclining on one of the sun loungers. "It's okay, I was actually enjoying the evening view," Adrienne replied, a slight twinkle in her eyes. "Really?" Ryan raised an eyebrow, genuinely surprised. "Yeah. Let's watch the sunset together," Adrienne suggested, a smile on her lips. "Should I lie on you?" Ryan teasingly asked. "Yes, you absolutely should," Adrienne responded, playing along and causing Ryan to chuckle. He settled onto a sun lounger adjacent to Adrienne's. "So, was it an important business call?" she asked, her gaze fixing on the slowly descending sun. "Yeah, unfortunately. I have to head somewhere tomorrow," Ryan answered with a hint of disappointment in his voice. "Oh, cool," Adrienne rep

Her mind raced, trying to understand his true intentions. "What are you imagining?" Adrienne playfully slapped his chest. "Get off!" Undeterred, Ryan continued, "I got some outfits for you. They're in the wardrobe. Change into your swimsuit and meet me at the pool." He kissed her forehead before leaving the room. "He's cute," Adrienne spoke to herself, her voice filled with affection. Ryan sat by the edge of the pool, his feet dipped into the water. A smile of anticipation played on his lips as Adrienne showed up. She was wearing the red bikini Ryan had carefully chosen for her, with a robe draped over it. "Why the robe?" Ryan asked, walking towards her. "I'm not entirely sure. Maybe I was feeling a little self-conscious," Adrienne admitted, her cheeks tinted pink. Ryan looked at her, concern flickering in his eyes. "Are you not comfortable showing your bikini to me?" Adrienne quickly shook her head. "No, it's not that. I'm just a little shy." "Should I help you take o

"Heyyy," Juliette greeted him, a hint of surprise in her voice. "What are you doing here by this time? And aren't you supposed to be abroad?" She asked, her brows furrowing with concern. "Something came up and I flew in today, but I wanted to see you first before attending to any issue. I'll be flying back today, probably in the evening," Ryan explained, taking a seat beside her on her bed. "Oh, really? What came up? Do you need help with it?" She asked, her voice laced with genuine concern. "Not a job for my assistant, and besides, that's not important right now," Ryan replied dismissively, reaching out to hold her hand. Juliette couldn't help but smile at his gesture. "I missed you," Ryan confessed, leaning in to kiss her passionately. "I missed you too," Juliette replied, returning his kiss with equal fervor. Their lips lingered together, the power of their connection growing stronger with each moment. Their bodies moved closer, the desire and anticipation fueling their acti

"I can't wait to finally own this hotel," Ryan exclaimed to Andrew with a gleam of anticipation in his eyes. They stood in the grand lobby, the opulent surroundings only fueling Ryan's desire for ownership. "You still obsessed with this hotel?" Andrew questioned, his skepticism evident in his voice. "It's not an obsession, Andrew," Ryan replied defensively, his tone tinged with frustration. "Then what is it? Love? Passion?" Andrew prodded, genuinely curious about his friend's infatuation. "It's business," Ryan stated firmly, his eyes narrowing with determination. "I don't trust my dad, and he still holds all the power at Haven Cosmetics. He can kick me out anytime I go against him. This hotel, however, is completely independent from his grasp. If - or when - I gain full rights and ownership, I won't have him bossing me around anymore. That old man needs to finally take a step back." "Oh, I see. You want something that's solely yours." "Exactly," Ryan confirmed, a hint of a smile

"Lincoln is dead."Adrienne was shocked."He is dead? Just like that? Why? How?" She asked.Richard was silent, and when she looked into his eyes, she saw the answers to her questions."You are responsible for this? You had him killed?""I'm sorry. I had to do it for Juliette. I know I should have told you, but I didn't want to," Richard said.Adrienne was speechless. She closed her eyes, trying to piece together exactly how she felt about the situation."I should give you some time to yourself." He wanted to leave, but Adrienne pushed him back, making him lie on the bed.She climbed over him and grabbed his chin."Why should I be mad at you? He deserved to die," Adrienne said softly, lowering her head to kiss him.Richard was so relieved, and he kissed her back passionately.She moved her lips to his jaw, his neck, and his chest and traced a path down to his waistline.She gazed at him with a sultry look in her eyes as she slipped her hands into his pants and set his excited member f

"Prison? What the hell?" Adrienne's voice quivered."Juliette gave that document to the police. She wanted to hurt me after I refused to take her side. The document had evidence of my illegal arms deals," Richard said."Arms deals? That's how you got wealthy, right?" Adrienne asked and Richard nodded."The Chief offered me a deal. He said he would give me the video Rosa sent to the police if I let him arrest me as a 'big criminal' to boost his promotion chances," Richard explained."What? No, that's a terrible deal! That's like trading a bread factory for a loaf of bread. You didn't agree to that, did you?" Adrienne said."Of course not. Rosa's video was useless to us. But I thought about it. I would get caught sooner or later if someone found out, or one of my partners got busted, or someone dug into my past. I know the Chief, so he's being easy on me. He could end our 'relationship' and arrest me with what he has. Luckily, that's not the case. If or when he gets promoted, there

"Boss? He hasn't called himself that in a while," Adrienne thought, smiling shyly.She sniffed the roses and they smelled lovely. She hoped there was a note inside, but there wasn't.She remembered the last time he sent her flowers with a note. It was months ago and the note only had 'I' on it."Where did I put it?" She wondered, searching her drawers. She finally found the note and looked at it for a few seconds."He never finished this sentence," Adrienne said.She set it aside and put on the dress.The dress was black with a strap and a sweetheart neckline and a ruched bust. It had mesh inserts at the waist with vertical lines and draped fabric that wrapped around the midsection. The slit on one side was indeed dangerously high."I am sure he can survive a little skin," Adrienne thought as she admired the dress.Wait. Where are we meeting? Adrienne wondered.She read the note again and he didn't say where they were meeting, he just said 'wear this tonight'.Does he want to meet at

"Hello, Adrienne," he said.She spun around and saw Ryan. Her eyes widened in shock."You're the witness? You're testifying against me?" she exclaimed."What witness? I'm here to watch the trial. What are you talking about?" he asked, puzzled.She snorted and turned away. "Whatever," she muttered, crossing her arms.He sat behind her, still taken aback by her coldness.The door opened again, and this time, the footsteps were that of a stiletto. It was a woman.Everyone turned to see who it was, and it was Annabelle.Adrienne scoffed. "She didn't tell me she was coming to Nigeria for the trial."As Annabelle got closer, Adrienne waved at her, but Annabelle ignored her and went straight to the witness stand.Adrienne's jaw dropped. Annabelle was the witness? After everything she had done for her?She glared at her as she swore the oath."You're in for a rude awakening," Annabelle whispered as she sat down.Adrienne felt her heart pounding, her forehead sweating, and her throat tighten

Adrienne felt a surge of anxiety as she entered the courtroom with Richard by her side. The day was finally here; Linc's trial.She glanced at the defendants' table, where Lincoln sat with his lawyer. He looked smug and confident, as if he had nothing to worry about. He met her gaze and smirked, making her shiver. It brought back memories of the nights she was locked up in that old farmhouse.She squeezed Richard's hand, grateful for his support. He had been her rock throughout this ordeal, always there to comfort her, protect her, and encourage her.The judge entered the room and everyone stood up. The trial began, and Adrienne listened as her lawyer presented the charges and the evidence against Lincoln. She felt a surge of hope as she saw the jury's expressions of shock and disgust. She hoped that they would see Lincoln for what he was: a monster who deserved to rot in jail.Then it was Lincoln's lawyer's turn to speak. He stood up and cleared his throat, looking at the jury with

Linc's body was thrown out of the car and onto the sidewalk as the car speedily drove off. He groaned in pain on the floor. A concerned stranger rushed to Linc's side to help him up, but Linc aggressively pushed the man away. This made other passersby ignore Linc and cross to the other side of the road. Despite the pain, he managed to stand up on his feet, his whole body hurting. As he looked around, trying to decipher his exact location, his eyes spotted a police station, and a smirk etched onto his face."They think they can get away with treating me like this," Linc said maliciously as he limped to the police station. Richard had given him a really bad beating, and he couldn't even walk properly. Every breath Linc took hurt him in his chest because of the impact of Richard's punches. "Darn you, Richard!" Linc cursed.As he entered the station, he collapsed onto the floor, putting on a show. "Help me, please. Help me. I was kidnapped by the Oh so famous Adrienne Davison and her

She hesitantly opened the files, and a flood of videos and photos appeared on the screen."That's a lot," Richard observed.Adrienne clicked on the first video, which showed Linc and Juliette having sex."Huh? Why would she send me this? I thought she promised something life-changing?" Adrienne rolled her eyes in frustration and flung her phone aside."You've been quick to lose patience over small things lately. Could it be the pregnancy hormones?" Richard inquired, concern lacing his voice."Ugh!" Adrienne exhaled in annoyance.Sensing her irritation, Richard extended his hand to soothe her by gently patting her back."Why don't we take our time and carefully review everything on the card?" he suggested."Okay. I'm sorry for snapping," she said with a soft, apologetic tone."That's better," Richard said, smoothing her hair affectionately."Come here," he gestured.Richard picked up the discarded phone, settled back on the bed, and Adrienne snuggled up to him, resting her head on his

Adrienne and Richard kissed passionately while Adrienne gently rode Richard on the bed. It was a slow and intimate dance as Richard’s hands caressed and worshipped her curves.He had arrived at the hotel and their brief conversation turned into a passionate encounter. After their lovemaking, Adrienne laid her forehead on Richard's."That was beautiful," he said, softly caressing her left cheek with his thumb.He then gripped her waist firmly and quickly flipped her over, hovering above her now. He looked at her deeply, still enjoying the afterglow of their passion."Why did you do that? I didn't want you to come out of me yet. I'm feeling hollow now. Empty!" Adrienne whined playfully, feigning annoyance.Richard chuckled. "Come on. We need to shower, and we have to be careful. I don't want to accidentally bump into Amelia. Look how quickly she's growing inside you," he said, rubbing Adrienne's belly."It's Ethan, and I wasn't even moving, so there's no way you could have hit him," Ad

Adrienne had cried herself to sleep and woke up in the evening. She checked her phone and saw tons of missed calls and messages from Richard."Why didn't you say anything?""Are you okay? Did something happen?""Please call me."Those were some of the texts from Richard. She didn't know what to say or how to explain her feelings and instead of replying to his texts or calling him back, she texted Lisa. She made a list of things she needed Lisa to bring and sent it along with the address.Then, Adrienne washed her face, went downstairs, and got into her car.***"What's going on? What are we doing here?" Lisa asked Adrienne as she followed her, carrying two big bags in her hands.Adrienne ignored her and walked quickly towards the entrance of the building. It was a large, white mansion with a sign that read "Joygood Memorial Park". Lisa had a bad feeling about this place. It was a private cemetery for the rich and powerful, where they buried their secrets and scandals, not just the
