46: Not moving on
"You never fail to amaze me. Every day there is something new that makes me love you even more than the day before."
~AnonymousI hear footsteps running down the stairs and I know it's Zander coming to get something and Havana and I share an alarmed look. I'd convinced Havana that Zander will not be coming down anymore only to end up being proven wrong. How was I to know that today of all days, he'll decide to do the exact opposite of what he normally does? "I'm not going to interrupt whatever you're not doing, just going to get a glass of water and head back to my room." He announces sharply, disappearing into the kitchen and not even bothering to look our way which is a relief.
After a few moments he walks back out and walks to the stairs before pausing, he makes a quick sniff of the air, "Weird I can almost swear it's Ana's perfume." He murmurs to himself before turning over to where

Love is the expansion of two natures in such fashion that each include the other, each is enriched by the other.Felix AdlerAfter my alarm went off at 6 am, I get up to my daily exercise and workout section although in the past three weeks I've been experiencing a slight set back and weakness, I know I will kick back in no time. Once done with that, I shower and dress up. I put my long, red, Ankara gown which has a side front parting up to a little above the knee and which holds me in all the right places and displays the little curves I was blessed with. I pick out my black four-inch heels to go with it and for my hair, I decided to let loose.Today is the day I've longed for since the past two years, it's the day I finally gain my independence. Lucas final will in testament will be read today after the calculation of our set requirements, Alvin, Jacob and

"Even after most said it was over between you and me, I still to this day, never shut up about you. You’ve got me wrapped around your finger."~Anonymous 20 minutes later"How long is the test running going to take?" I ask impatiently as the doctor who has been introduced as Zaki Tarfa opens his medical box and begins to bring out his things."It's a few minutes test, don't worry we will be out of here in no time.""We better," I mumble as I come to seat on the centre couch in the parlour.Gabriel stands and watches as Tarfa brings out a small note and scoots closer to me on the couch, "Can you tell me the symptoms you're feeling? And some of the illness you've been having?"I drag a very slow breath in before speaking, "Nauseousness, dizziness, a little fever and weakness and then today I threw up."
His Dark Desires 49: The change we need
"Love is the product of how you respond ... Love is showing your partner they're safe, you'll catch them if they fall, and you'll drop everything if they need you. Love is unconditional. Love doesn't keep score."Shane Parrish"Ten years ago.""Ten years ago?" I find myself echoing back a question, completely lost between surprise and confusion.He looks up at me, "Yes!" He responds with clear certainty.This changes everything I think I've known over the last couple of months I've known Rogue. I stopped searching up things about him because the results always were the same, nothing. Knowing that Edet knew who Rogue was ten years ago makes me wonder what other things he knows about him. I begin to wonder why rogue would not tell me about his relationship with Edet, it not too much to ask? If Edet knew him, does that mean Lucas knew Rogue ten years ago? If yes how come he hasn't said anything about it?

"Any problem, big or small, within a family, always seems to start with bad communication. Someone isn't listening."~Emma Thompson"Alexa I hope by now you're stronger, wiser and a much better woman from the one I know you to be. The world is a cruel and tough place and I think by now you already know that. You make me so happy and I wish that that will never change, I hope that you find someone to make you as happy as you make me. It's fine to make mistakes, but always be ready to get back on your feet afterwards. I also hope that now you have found another way of handling Alvin and Jacob's mean insults apart from crying. I know you'll figure it out, you're that smart."I chuckle mildly and tears run down my eyes at how much Lucas thought about me even after his death. He wanted me to be happy, to be loved and to be stronger. I wipe my tears away and mouth a little thank you."I love you so much Alexa and boys I
His Dark Desires 51: Forever begins now
"If I am to be fallen into love, I will.And if as a result I will appear to bestupid, disillusioned, and of poorjudgment, I will. And I would bedamned if I cared what other people think. For I would rather be thought of as all of these things, than not love. If in loving, I become the naked woman on the horse, I will ride that horse with my head held high. This is my spirit. I am unbreakable."C. JoyBell C.Gabriel slowly touches my arm and I turn my attention to him, "Your name in the document is Alexander Black, not Paige." He points out."Yes, Lucas expressed how he wanted you to keep your name and add his only if you wanted to," I answer before getting lost in my memories.Flashbacks

“It’s okay not to be perfect. It’s okay to make mistakes. It’s okay to do something that you wish you hadn’t done because if we don’t do those things, we never grow.”~Dawn StanyonGabriel and I step outside and walk towards the parking lot where I had parked my car earlier. It is almost eleven o clock and I need to be in the office now and see to some work since I'm still the one in charge of running the company based in Nigeria. This all feels weird, this company is mine, with my name on it and it's going to take a while to get used to that."I'll need to read into the document further and it might take a few days Mrs Paige," Gabriel explains, holding onto the documents securely.I nod my head understandingly, "It's fine, take all the days you need and you can call me Alex, you know that.""Mrs Paige sounds
His Dark Desires 53: When rumour flies
"They say a good love is one that sits you down, gives you a drink of water, and pats you on top of the head. But I say a good love is one that casts you into the wind, sets you ablaze, makes you burn through the skies and ignite the night like a phoenix; the kind that cuts you loose like a wildfire and you can't stop running simply because you keep on burning everything that you touch! I say that's a good love; one that burns and flies, and you run with it!"C. JoyBell C.The next few weeks that passes are the most hectic and yet the happiest I've ever had. Rogue and I set our wedding date to the 27th which is next week and on that day, I walk down the aisle and become Rogue's wife.

His Dark Desires 54: About the wedding
"You know that feeling when your head says no, but your heart says yes? It’s wrong, but it feels so right? I wish we could be together." ~Anonymous"What are you doing here?" I ask the obvious because although we can barely keep our hands to ourselves at home, it is a bit unusual for Rogue to come and see me during working hours."Do I need a reason to come see my fiancee and our unborn child?" He asks, running his hand over my small, hidden, baby bump and shivers down my spine in the process."Not really," I shake my head and bite my lips."I came to check up on you two, make sure you guys are fine and not changing your mind about the wedding yet." His eyes give up the humour his words didn't.I laugh and smack his shoulder a little, "We are fine, don't worry about us and as for the wedding we are in it together."
