I had the best breakfast ever but it was not so cool because I ate alone. Mom was not here to eat with me so I did not enjoy it as I should have. I got up and picked up the tray then walked out of the room. I met Zain snooping around in the kitchen, I guess he was looking for what to eat. He was behaving like a bachelor without a clear understanding of how to cook.I walked past him, making myself invisible. He caught my left hand and I glared at him, thinking he would release me but that gave him the nerve to hold me longer. "What do you want, can you let go of my hand, sire?"I tried not to sound disrespectful as possible as I can. The nerve of this man is quite getting to me but you know what, I will keep on with my cool attitude. "Sorry about what happened back there in the room"He apologized and released my hand. I put the dirty plates inside the dishwasher and faced him with a cool smile on my face. "It's fine alright, you can't do anything can you?"I simply sai
And "I don't know" that sh**t" got me annoyed. I know my kid brother and I also know that he likes women a lot. I am sure he just wants to lure her into his web. He can do that with any woman but not Jenny. "Jenny, we are going out. We need to do some shopping for the baby"I simply said and walked out on her. I did not give her a chance to disagree because she was definitely going to do so if I had given the chance.Jenny's point of view…. I stared at him lost as he walked away. I was confused if I am the one who is supposed to shop for the baby things or my sister or if it is his way of trying to make me not help Owen out. What is he afraid of? For heaven's sake, I am an adult and also not his girlfriend. He can't be this protective. I got hold of myself and walked to the dining, he was devouring his breakfast already. "Sorry, Zain, to disappoint you. I can't go shopping with you, do it with Susan, she is the one pregnant, not me""Why that?"He asked. "I have an appoi
I wasn't just confused, I was perplexed about the whole thing with him. He just has this strong aura around him and I am trying to understand what it is all about. The way he said I never changed got me and I felt that the explanation he gave me was not enough, he was probably hiding something. He definitely knows something about me that I don't know. "Hey, what's making you stand there? Hop on the bed" He said with his eyes glued on the laptop. I reluctantly walked to his bed and sat on the edge, making sure not to fall off. I raised my eyes to ask him to bring the laptop closer and I met with his stares. I could not break away from his stares. There was something about the way he stares at me, he was trying to pass a message to me that I can't understand. Before I could realize myself, he pulled me to the center of the bed. "What are you afraid of, you think I will eat you up?"He asked, lingering his stares on me. I shook my head momentarily. "Let me see the script
Owen brought his lips closer to mine and instead of backing away, I stared at him to see what he wanted to do as if I don't know what he is up to. His lips were inches closer to my lips when I heard someone clear his throat and I jumped up immediately, Zain was behind us glaring at me. I got down from Owen's bed and rushed out of the room, I was embarrassed. Zain's point of view….I watched as Jenny ran out of the room and I returned my attention to Owen. He was smirking. "You barged into my room without knocking, Courtesy bro"He said with that smudged look on his face. I felt like slapping the silliness out of him. "Do you realize that's my wife's sister?"I asked him. He chuckled and got down from his bed. "I did not forget and she is a pretty lady. She seems lonely, I want to make her happy" He stupidly said. At that moment, I knew that he would never be serious with a lady in his life. I knew when Jenny mentioned helping out that something like this was goin
3 pm.....I stood in front of the wall mirror, admiring myself. I was ready for my date with Lucas. A day in Reben castle and I am already going out with a guy. I had told Susan about it and she had dismissed me without a word. Her hormones are getting worse by the day. Earlier today she racked the house with a shout, I don't know what transpired between her and Zain but the scenario she displayed was not pleasant. At some point, I had to pity Zain and all this was happening, Owen never came out of his room to ask what was going on. I had not crossed paths with him after our encounter this morning. I prepared rice and sauce earlier for lunch and served Zain his. He had not said a word to me since morning. I was not so happy with it but the happy part was greater. I returned my focus to the mirror and strengthened my blouse. I was putting on a red blouse and blue high-waist jeans with a black belt and black heels with a red purse. I applied a red gloss and I must say, I
We have been driving for a while in the busy city of Reben Castle. "By the way, you look beautiful like the Angel you are" Lucas said and took left. "You look handsome too, I would say like my guardian angel unfortunately I don't know what my guardian angel looks like." I said and chuckled. I saw him smile. He has got a beautiful smile though he is a guy and he is gentle too. We fell silent and he continued to drive. Fifteen minutes later, he drove into this big restaurant. I was wowed by the look of the place, it is the definition of class. When I see good things I admire them because I am a lover of good things. He got a space and parked, "From your expression, you already like the place." "Are you kidding me, I love it and I wonder if the outside is like this, how inside will be" I said excitedly. "All I can say is the inside beats the outside. Let's go see what they have got" He said and got down then opened my door for me. No doubt, Lucas is dro
Writer's Point of view…. After Jenny and Zain left the house, Owen came out of his room and headed towards Susan's bedroom. He did not knock as he saw no reason for that. Susan smiled the moment she saw him and stood up. She was just on a towel, it seems she has been expecting him. "I thought you would not come?" She asked as he pulled her into a hug. "Why should I not? I need to attend to my baby at all times. If only you have done as I told you, you will have me anytime you want me" He said and kissed her lips then stared at her face. For a year plus now, he has been secretly having an affair with Susan under Zain's nose. Zain has no clue his wife is cheating not to talk of, with his younger brother. "I am taking my time, you know why I am still stuck with him." "I know right, take your time but don't take too long. I hate to think of you under him" "Well, Zain does not find me attractive anymore. Maybe it has to do with my pregnancy and it's cool with m
Jenny's point of view…. We did nothing as we waited for what I don't know, I can't tell you I know what we are waiting for but definitely we were waiting for something. How will you explain folding your hands while your partner makes random calls while asking you to exercise patience? He finally got done with the calls and his order arrived. He did not include me when he was ordering what we would eat. I mean, is he in my heart to know what I want to eat? That he would choose what I should eat. I know the bill is on him but doesn't mean anything. That act was a red flag for me. "I am sorry darling" he apologized "Where were we before?" He asked as the waitresses arranged whatever they came with on the table before us. The orders were too much and I wondered if it was for two people or more. I couldn't see what is before us because they came with covered dishes. The waitresses left after they were done and returned my attention to Lucas. "You know I have lots
"We are with you every step of the way," Mom said after a while. The silence was threatening to engulf us, thank God she broke it. "You will have to do me a favor. In no circumstances should you tell anyone where I am. If possible, deny ever seeing me." I pleaded with Mom "It's going to be hard but we will do it," Miss Celine assured me, holding my shoulders. "I guess your mom and I had to be the one keeping ourselves company from now on. This is for the best. Just know that I will miss you dearly." She added, smiling at me. It seemed to break something inside me as tears were already filling my eyes. She held me tight, not letting go for several seconds before letting go and I wiped my tears. " Okay, guys let's go see what there is to eat?" She shouted and Michael wriggled himself down from my arms, both of them ran to her as she took them out of the room. She blew kisses to me before exiting the room "Find the kitchen yourself. You are now part of the family," Mom shouted after t
I continued when it was obvious she was not going to say anything until I was done "It was like nature was with me, your stay back home lingered and school wasn't opening anytime soon. I was initially at Tasha's place and her mom being a nurse, she was getting closer to knowing the truth so I looked for an alternative and that's where Miss Celine came in. My spirit accepted her the moment I saw her and I knew I was going to trust her, so we told her about my pregnancy and the circumstances surrounding it. She took me in without questions. I found out she was unmarried and which I found odd. I was eight months gone when you returned back home, I had to keep lying to you to let me be at Tasha's place. "After I delivered the twins three months to my sixteenth birthday, I could not keep lying to you so a month later I returned home and three months later school was reopened."She let go of my hands and sat on her bed, "so how did they survive without you and what about the money
I walked through the door and halted. The door was slightly opened so I was able to open it noiselessly. She was cooking and it was my favorite, oatmeal. Looked like she missed me and she decided to prepare the meal for her so she doesn't miss me much. I was just so glad she was okay, that b*stard did not harm her. I dropped my handbag on one of the dinner chairs and walked towards the kitchen, tiptoeing. She was having her back on me, facing the pot and stirring the content inside. Her hair was packed up and she had one of her favorite red long gowns on. I saw her back stiffened and she swiftly turned towards me. I stood moving and stared at her speechless. Her expression turned from rigid to surprise then to mild. She walked towards me in a flash and engulfed me in her arms,"oh! My baby! I have missed you so much." She said rocking me to and fro. I had to check my brain to remember when I saw her last and it was yesterday. How come she missed me so much? "Mom, I m
I stood fazed for a moment, trying to understand what she said. Like, was she for real. I have not got out of the one I entered and another lady was on the line to finish me completely but looking at the offer, it was something that would favor me. She was beautiful and curvy. How would Jenny feel if she gets to know that I replaced her the day she left? It would be depressing and I think I like the sound of that. "Is that all?" I asked, smiling. She was surprised, her expression said so. I bet you she was not expecting me to agree to that. "Yeah but are you for real?" she replied slowly, raising her eyebrows at me and looking puzzled. I sighed deeply before nodding and saying, "yes.""Or are you not interested again?" I questioned, raising my brows this time around. "Of course I am interested," she responded, getting up and smiling coyly at me, "I will do anything you want and you will not regret that.""I bet I won't. The name is Zain Zidat and you are?" "Lora Leigh.""Ni
For a moment I froze, not moving, allowing him to kiss me. It was grossing but I must admit, I kind of like the feeling but so to say, it was irritating at the same time.I slowly parted my lips and let out a breathy sigh against his mouth, I could feel Felix smiling against me.As he broke the kiss I felt a tingling sensation in my stomach. "How dare you kiss me like that?!" I snapped as I tried to pull away."How dare I!? Well, what'chu gonna do 'bout it? Don't try to escape me!" He smirked.I scoffed before crossing my arms "Oh yeah?""Yeah, you should feel lucky that it isn't me who is trying to get away right now."I narrowed my eyebrows at him. He smiled at me before chuckling.I huffed, "shut up!""Make me," he murmured under his breath before leaning forward kissing me again. I suddenly became angry and pushed him away, made to get out of the car but he gripped my wrist," I am sorry if I overstepped my boundary." He whispered.I sighed and leaned my head back on the head
"Hi Tasha, were you planning to leave without going into the ice cream shop?" Felix asked, walking over to me. He had a plastic bag with him and it looked like he just stepped out because his sports car was parked a few inches away from the shop or let's say he was just coming into the ice cream shop for the first time today which I doubted. I really don't get it, the Shylins are one of the richest in town yet Mrs Shylin, his grandmother runs an ice cream shop. I chuckled nervously," Ahaaa! not really."I responded, scratching my hair in an awkward manner. "Let me get this straight, you had in mind to come here and at the last minute, you changed your mind because you might run into me?" He caught me right there and I didn't know how to tell him he was wrong which I know he was not. I chuckled as I nodded, "yeah, that's what it sounds like."He gave me an odd look before he turned towards the door and started walking in. "Felix darling, where did you go?"I heard Mrs Shyli
Zain and Thomas met the trio at the entrance of the house as they were about to go out like Thomas requested. Thomas stared at Harrison and cringed, the aura he was getting from Harrison wasn't a good one and before he could understand why, Harrison spoke up. "Hey Zain, where are you going, looking like you lost your life," Harrison commented looking concerned. "I am just stepping out with Thomas, I did not realize you guys were coming over to my house." Zain said, trying not to look like his problem. "Oh, sorry about that. We came to congratulate Jenny on her engagement with you, telling you would have spoiled the surprise."Harrison said and walked in leaving them standing at the door. Zain turned to Thomas,"can we do this later?""Sure. When you are done let me know," Thomas replied, giving him a gentle smile and left for his own house. Zain turned on his heels and walked back into the house followed by Ethan and Nathan. Harrison was seated before the trio walked into the livi
Jenny's point of view… When I saw Celine's call, I was relieved. It means she was safe and sound with my kids. I had to pretend as if nothing was wrong because she was this sensitive person that smells your trouble from faraway. I was sitting inside the car, parked at a stop for over fifteen minutes now with no destination in mind. I knew I was going to go home but was I ready to explain to mom that I had kids? How I was able to hide the pregnancy from her. She will be mad, so mad that it would take grace for her to understand that I did what I did because I wasn't ready to face her. "I am glad you are but we need to talk." That statement alone was ready to give me a heart attack. Though this was not the first time she had mentioned 'we need to talk' that kind of thing. It was like her every other day phrase but today, regarding what I had gone through in the past few hours I wasn't sure if they were okay so I panicked. I was worried and expecting her to talk but she was taking ti
Zain's point of view…. The moment the door closed I went down on my knees, clutching my heart. It was breaking into pieces and I could not do anything about it. I did not stop her from leaving and I was not sure it was the right thing to do. What can I do for her to forgive me? Wasn't she supposed to tell me that she has not forgiven me instead of going this extreme and was I to hate her after everything? It was obvious she stopped loving me a long time ago and I had foolishly thought she still loved me. "Zain, it's your fault. If you had not looked in another direction, what is happening now would have been prevented. Deal with the rejection or find a way to get her back but let her off for a while, you both need your space." I advised myself which seemed like the worst advice ever. I was not strong enough to live without her, she actually gave me my ring back, wow! "Jenny, why?" I kept asking that question. This was too much for me to bear. She indeed planned this reven
