She was waiting for the lecture to end so she could talk to him before he left without saying a word to her. Instead of making a note her gaze focused on him, he was listening and watching the professor in total concentration. However She definitely didn't hear anything else, her mind was swayed, perturbed as she was sitting, playing with a pen, scrambling nothing on her book.

”That's the end of the lecture...” Professor Clark packed his text book and laptop into his bag then left the lecture theater.

Students had started leaving the lecture theatre one after the other, Charlene sprang up from her seat, she took her handbag, the book and her pen then stood on the way she assumed he would take. Javier noticed so he whirled to take another exit, he made to leave without talking to her, but before he could take another step further, she called his name softly. “Javier, wait.”

He didn't look back but he stopped walking. She sighed, walking over to where he was standing. “Hi.” He loo

    The bodyguards bowed as they walked past them, Richard seemed not to notice anything else including the guests that were drooling over him. Devyn never stopped smiling at the bodyguards at the entrance. “Welcome, sirs.” A giant bodyguard greeted them, directed them to a room. He unlocked the door with the key then they walked inside leisurely. The bodyguard stopped by the door as he had reached his stop, they took an elevator to the top floor meant for the VIP. “I don't understand what we're doing here in SL Tower. Are you here to meet your client?”“Actually I invited someone over here. He wants us to meet so…” He narrowed at him. They sidled out after the elevator slid open.“Oh.” He gave a feeble response. He believed the person Richard invited must be someone important like them, so he only came to the tower for a conference with foreigners. Surprisingly when Devyn saw director Wilson, the least person he expected, he twitched his lips.Wilson rose, he smiled brightly at Richard

    “You'll be late if you keep pretending to be sleeping, Charlene.” Richard whispered to her ear, sending a chill down her spine. She chuckled quietly as she turned her back at him. She had checked the time when Richard left to get dressed in the closet, since she had made up her mind to spend the whole day with Miguel there was no reason for her to wake up early. Moreover she was imagining last night's event, she couldn't get over it. Their first night was awesome, if there was anything Charlene ever wanted again it was his touch, she wanted to feel his touch again. Richard thought she was still in pain, perhaps she was regretting what happened between them last night. Literally they were a couple, that should be expected to happen even if both individuals were forced to marry each other. However Richard wasn't giving up until she answered him. “Does it hurt that much?” He asked chivalrously. The magnanimous attention she was receiving from him was making her uneasy, she wondered if i

    Devyn had been staring at him ever since he stepped into his office. Although he had something to discuss with him concerning the company, there was something else that was more important he'd love to ask him. Devyn cleared his throat. He blinked multiple times as he gazed at him steadily.Richard was literally pissed off. He wondered how long he would continue to be staring at him. He put down his phone beside him. Then, contracted his lips into a frown. “For how long will you continue staring at me like that?”Devyn sat upright purposely. He chuckled. “As long as I'm able to picture out the answers in your eyes. How was your date with Greta?”“I know you're going to ask about that. It was quite exhilarating. She's just obsessed.” He said with a pout.“But you're married. Didn't she know?”Richard cocked his head as he looked intently into his eyes. “Does it matter? When you desperately want something, other things don't matter.”He gasped surprisingly. He furrowed his brows, focused

  • Her husband's wife    A deep confession

    Richard furrowed his brows. He wasn't expecting her to ask that question. Frankly, he had never prepared an answer for the question to start with. Since she already asked him, he would have to answer her and be straightforward with her.Charlene was already on her feet, anticipating his reply. She gazed at him from the bedside, waiting for him to answer her. When he was taking too much time getting an answer to her question, she spoke again. “I've been thinking about this but I'm perplexed. Richard, I want to have your child.” “Wait!” He was nearly speechless.“Was I asking for too much? Oh!” She hit her forehead gently, sighing softly. “But, I-I'm ready to carry your child.” She said calmly.For a few seconds his facial expression was completely plain, giving her a fright without knowing. Suddenly he smiled lightly. “I'm just concerned about your education.”“I'm in my final year, Richard. I told you that. Right?”“Yeah, I remember.” He ran his fingers through his hair, getting clos

    “What are you going to say about this, Ms. Janice?” After stomping into the office Henrietta turned on the TV show. There, Greta Christopher was on live broadcast, having an interview. Ms. Janice glanced at her, then lifted a brow. “Seriously?”“What do you want me to do? The company doesn't want your face on the cover of their fashion magazines. To be honest, I thought you're better but…I was wrong. The company sent an invite to Greta and she signed a contract with us. Our industry doesn't want to lose a big slot, so I have no choice but to sign her into our industry.” She explained thoroughly.Henrietta tightened her fists ferociously. “So, what are you insinuating? You're kicking me out of the industry?” She tried to maintain her cool but she was pissed off. There were furies in her eyes while gazing into her eyes steadily.“Don't be ridiculous!” She snapped, leaping up.“You make me understand what it means. Greta is given what is supposed to be mine. I'm the queen in this industr

  • Her husband's wife    A desperate model

    It had been three weeks since Henrietta had been on probation. She was forced to abase herself during the second week. When Greta Christopher appeared on the frontpage of every fashion magazine, Henrietta was so envious of her and couldn't help but get angry at the same time. Although she had another conversation with Mr Wilson but it didn't yield a good result. After all, he had an agreement with Mr Sullivan. Richard got him what the industry wanted and he also had to give him something in return.The last person she cared about was Miguel. Dolly encouraged her to go on a vacation, and she agreed. Although Richard eventually granted her to come for Miguel anytime she wanted, she would have to bring him back to the mansion in the next three days, as it was stated in their agreement. Dolly did a thorough investigation in the industry during the time Henrietta was away, she eventually found out the reason for an expected probation. There were people that knew everything that happened i

  • Her husband's wife    Is it a fever?

    Richard put his hand on her forehead to examine her body temperature. However, she was burning up. While sitting up she looked at him, smiling faintly. “I'm fine. Stop looking at me like that.” Richard was worried and it was hard for him to hide that he was.Richard shook his head in disagreement to what she said. He couldn't wait for the doctor to divulge the outcome of the result. “What's wrong with her? Is it a fever?” As it was the only thing he could think of. She had been vomiting lately, complaining about being dizzy, weak and more. It was strange to him, Charlene had never been really ill ever since they got married. Richard asked about her period tracker, assuming it might be one of the symptoms but she told him it was either breast tenderness or an awful cramp. What she was feeling at the moment was also strange to her.After checking her calendar, she missed her monthly period which was strange. She had never missed it before. After browsing for more information, she conclu

  • Her husband's wife    A trespass

    It all started that night. The conversation with attorney Drew was left in hang, Richard informed him to give him little time to contemplate. Both parties fixed a date to meet up, and like it was predicted Richard flared up and ruined everything. Henrietta had brainwashed her attorney that he didn't see lies in everything she told him. The truth was palpable but he chose to believe only her lies and pay deaf ears to other important things.No matter the circumstances, Richard would never let go of his son, not when he was undergoing medical. That night the babysitter confronted him, actually, she wanted to inform him about Miguel's health. He was ill, and it had been three days since it all happened. Charlene wanted to remain silent. However, her subconscious was killing her. She wanted to wait for him till he told her what the matter was. She apparently noticed how restless he had become for the past few days. After all, they were a couple, they were supposed to share problems and

    As he had promised her, the whole family went on a vacation. It wasn't long before they all returned home, Richard had to return to the office likewise Daniella had to return to school. Richard still didn't support her decision to start working, even if she was going to work not while she was pregnant. He was afraid that something bad might happen to her or their child.Now that the whole family was complete, Luciana couldn't ask for more. Back then she thought Henrietta was the best woman for his son because she knew how madly he was in love with her. However, things had changed and she didn't realize that her son's heart was now beating for someone else. It took long enough before Richard finally gave his mother a second chance, he still didn't believe her that she had no hand in what Henrietta did at the party a few years ago.Rowan couldn't be mad at his daughter forever. Of course, Charlene was his favorite and he loved her so much. Everybody was delighted that the couple was to

    Despite the doctor assuring him his wife was going to be alright, Richard was still restless. When Daniella finally woke up, he felt a bit better but he was worried about Charlene and their unborn baby. She didn't tell him she was pregnant, he found out on his own. He saw the pregnancy test on her dressing table. All he wanted to hear from the doctor was ‘Your wife is fine and her baby.’ That was the only thing that would make him happy.That was unlike Luciana, telling the cops to make sure Henrietta should be put behind the bar for good. Henrietta survived the three bullets but for the rest of her life, she would never be balanced. They captured Ray alive as he surrendered immediately guns were pointing at him, and Tom died.“Dad, is mum going to be alright?” Daniella took his hand.He looked down, carrying her up in his arms. He flashed her a painful smile. “She'll be fine.” The first thing he would ever do was apologize to her for all the trouble she went through because of him. I

  • Her husband's wife    There's no way out

    Henrietta knew Richard would come to her house so she took them to a warehouse located far away from where he could ever suspect. Everything she demanded was given to her. Her name was evicted from the blacklist, and the huge sum of money she demanded was given to her. It had been two days already yet she didn't let them go.She still hasn't gotten enough of what she wanted. She thought if she let them go Richard would come after her for abducting his family and that could put an end to everything she ever worked for. When her phone rang, she thought the caller was Richard but it turned out to be Dolly. She didn't bother to pick up the call, she didn't attend her engagement party. She supposed Dolly must have known she had already put an end to everything they had in the past. Henrietta was looking at Charlene and her daughter from afar. Far at the edge, she was hugging Daniella like a bird trying to protect its egg from a crack. Suddenly, she leaped up. Ray crocked his gun, ready to

    “Nanny Harley, is my wife back?” Richard asked, on his way toward the staircase.“Not yet. She called me an hour ago to inform me she'll be the one to pick up Daniella from school. I presume she called you.”“Oh. I missed her call. There was an important teleconference going on so I couldn't answer the call.” He explained. “Okay.” Richard sauntered to the room, as he stepped in he brought his phone out of his trouser pocket. The maid took his briefcase to its spot and then left the room. He thought of calling her but he decided to freshen up first. He unbuttoned his shirt on his way heading to the bathroom.Shortly after, he ambled out of the bathroom, looking fresh. He sidled across the room to the walk-in closet and got dressed. Wearing casual outfits since he had somewhere he was supposed to be in the next hour. He walked up to the bed, picked up his phone, and tried to call Charlene. Her phone was off. That was odd; he thought. He called again and again, yet he couldn't reach he

    She clutched onto his arms with her head lying on his bare chest, sleeping soundlessly. He had woken up but he didn't want to disturb her peaceful sleep. She slept late last night so he wanted her to get enough rest.She adjusted her body close to his and tightened her arm around his body like she was preventing him from getting out of bed. He chortled softly. “Love, are you awake?” He brushed her hair using his fingers. When she murmured, Richard hardly heard what she said underneath. “I need to get to work early today.”“Don't go yet. I want to sleep more. You should at least pay for keeping me awake all night.” With that, she adjusted, glanced over, and winked at him seductively.“I guess you're not going out today.”“Of course, I'm going to visit Veronica. She got discharged two days ago and I haven't seen my niece in two days. I miss her, I hate the fact that she resembles that idiot.”“Are you not happy that his baby takes after him?”“It would have been better if she took afte

  • Her husband's wife    Home sweet home

    Richard had checked every room, looking for her. Daniella wasn't at home as Luciana ordered her driver to come to pick her up since yesterday, she hadn't returned home. Charlene was really happy about it because it was hard to have Richard all to herself whenever she was around. She was very attached to her father and wouldn't let him have Charlene's time. While walking around, he could hear some movement in the kitchen so he decided to check. He had something he wanted to tell her, in the next thirty minutes his driver would come over to drive him back to the mansion and he hadn't informed Charlene yet. He sauntered casually to the kitchen. He caught her sitting on a stool while she was eating, but something around her finger attracted his attention. “You're wearing the ring.” He said when he noticed the wedding ring on her finger. He was standing by the door, looking steadily at her. Charlene halted the knife close to the salmon steak, she moved the fork to her mouth and ate the

  • Her husband's wife    Fighting against the odds

    “Sarah, are you done with your photography?” It was her fifth time asking her the same question. It had gotten to a point that she wanted to interrupt the whole process but she dared not. It hadn't been up to a month she got hired, even if the industry wasn't well-known by people, at least their payment was enough to keep her on her stead till she finally found an alternative.“Just a minute. They said those pictures they took earlier aren't enough.” Sarah managed to answer while posing for a new shot.Henrietta rolled her eyes. She held the coat jacket tightly, deep down she wished she could crush her at the moment after she managed to catch a glimpse of a mischievous grin across her lips. She shut her eyes briefly to subside the yen, then she spoke up. “The manager wants to speak to us urgently. Make it snappy.” “Alright. Goodness, stop wrecking my jacket. Do you have any idea how much it cost?”“Isn't it fake, bitch? I bet you can't even afford the original product.”She raised he

  • Her husband's wife    You've caught a cold

    “Mom, wake up.” Daniella tapped Charlene gently on her arm. She noticed she wasn't responding to her call so she moved closer and tapped her again. “You've got to wake up.” Slowly Charlene yawned. Sitting up, she rubbed the heels of her hands on her eyes. “What's the matter?”“What's wrong with dad?” Charlene was muddled. She stared back at Daniella with the same confused expression she had on her face. “What happened to your dad?” Panicked, she looked eagerly at her. “He said he'll be right back. But when I touched him his temperature was low and he was shivering . Isn't that what you called fever?”Charlene looked at her left side to check the radio clock on the drawer. It was five o'clock in the morning. She drew the blanket over before putting her feet on the cold floor. “You should have woken me up when you noticed that. Where is he right now?”“I don't know. He left the room and he hasn't returned.”“Stay here.” She rose. She slid into her scuffs before standing. Daniella sh

    A week had already passed without talking to him, even if he came over to her place she knew it was all because of their daughter. ‘Wait here. I'll get her.’ That had always been the same statement she kept saying to him.There was no way she could run away from it anymore. However, she felt ashamed to face him. Apparently she wasn't mad at him for what happened as Charles had confessed to her that Richard never intended to attend the wedding ceremony, he was the one who convinced him to come over. There was no reason to blame anyone for it. In fact they saved her from a loveless marriage. Charlene shuffled out of the bathroom in a towel. She was heading to the closet when she noticed that her window was open and the breeze made the curtains make some weird sound. She walked over to the window, closed it and turned around. “Danny, were you the one that left the window open?” Charlene asked as she looked around the room. She thought she might be hiding somewhere. “Danny,” She called
