Sheena stood on the balcony at the back of the house overlooking the garden. She was deep in thought. Last night had been a close call.

She had told Mr Dominic she hit her foot against the riser while going up the stairs and she was simply lamenting to herself.

Mr Dominic gave her a look that implied she was stupid. It was demeaning, but she was grateful he had believed her. He went back to sleep not showing any concern if she was wounded.

In truth, she didn't even want his care. It might lead to more trouble if there was no wound.

She planned to see Jake here. This part of the house was a perfect rendezvous. In her desperation for a quiet space for herself, she had discovered this spot in the Rollins house. It was quiet and the view was exquisite, overlooking the garden filled with a variety of beautiful flowers.

She felt male hands envelop her from behind. She smiled to herself. He was here.

'Miss me, baby?' The male voice breathed against her neck as he sniffed her, feeding off her

    Jake was seated in the board room across from Shawn who kept glaring at him. Shawn's nose wore the familiar small white band used for a broken nose.Jake acted indifferently, ignoring Shawn completely. This left Shawn fuming.Jake checked his watch. He needed to be back at his office. Mr Dominic had sent for Jake, asking to meet him at his office building.Jake had reluctantly come, but now he was tired of waiting. It made it worse that he was in the same room as Shawn. Jake wanted to give the man more than a broken nose.'My son!' Mr Dominic beamed as he walked into the room. Closely behind him, was a young man dressed in a dainty suit.Jake stood up and took the old man's extended hand.'Good day, sir.' Jake greeted.Mr Dominic would have wanted more than a handshake but would make do with this. He was very glad the boy was even talking to him and had honored his invitation. It has been very different in the past.Jake took a seat after Mr Dominic had settled into a seat and gesture

    'Hello.' Jake spoke into his phone as he climbed the stairs.'Hello Jake, it's Damian, Mr Dominic's lawyer. We met the other day at his office.' The caller spoke.'Yes. What can I do for you?' Jake responded.'We didn't get to finish with the transfer of the shares the other day. I'll need you to sign some documents to finalize everything. I'm calling to know when you'd be free so we can meet.' The lawyer spoke briskly.'I haven't made up my mind about it.' Jake responded.'I thought all the parties involved were well aware of the final agreement...' 'This party will get back to you on it.' Jake said with irritation in his voice.The lawyer was smart to take the cue.'This is my number. Call me when you've reached a final decision.' Damian said curtly and the line went dead.Jake had reached the landing and stood on the balcony, his view focused on the large expanse of land before him covered with flowers. But his mind was elsewhere.He was thinking hard. Mr Dominic was cornering him

    Warning ⚠️ 18Sheena stood stupefied watching the receding behind of Jake, wondering how he could do this to her. Tantalizing her and leaving her wanting.She wanted to get mad but she couldn't as the only feelings coursing through her was the intense sweet pleasure and the state of want he had left her in. She wanted more of him. She decided not to waste any more time and took steps to proceed to his room. She stopped in her tracks as she remembered something.It was a full house. Her husband was home. If she got caught, she couldn't fathom the extent of the disaster that would happen. But a larger part of her didn't want to focus on what could go wrong.The sweet pulsing between her legs didn't care at this moment. She only wanted satisfaction and he knew just how to please her.Sheena made up her mind. She would go to him. She knew she was playing with fire, a fiery furnace that was going to sear her soul.Like a thief, she sneaked into Jake's room, taking extra measures to ensure

    Jake woke up to an empty bed. The space beside him was cold. Sheena must have left in the middle of night. She had to and he understood.He smiled, reeling in the pleasures of the previous night. He would have loved to wake up to the sight of her sleeping face. He would have loved to wake her up trailing soft kisses down her neck. He would have loved to feed off her undiluted morning juice and have morning sex with her.He wished she had stayed so he could snuggle her closer, but he knew better. They were playing a dirty game. One that couldn't afford all that.He got up and got ready for work. On his way out, he bumped into Sheena in the living room.They shared a look full of secrets only they could understand.Jake smiled at her as he was happy to see her. He would have loved to kiss her each day before leaving the house. He scanned the room to see that they were alone and he approached her.'Not here.' She whispered, unable to wipe the shy smile off her face.'Then where? Because

    It was long past an hour before Elena slid into the seat opposite Sheena at La Cafe. Sheena wasn't mad, she knew her sister. She was always late. Elena never behaved older. Sheena presumed that's why the weighty duty to save the family fell to her.'Always fashionable late as ever. It's good to know you haven't changed.' Sheena said lightly with no hint of sarcasm in her voice.'It's great to see you too baby sis!' Elena shrilled. 'Damn I'm starving.' She says and dips her hand into the bowl of chips sitting before Sheena.'You could ask for yours. There's plenty more where these came from.' Sheena said signalling for the busboy so she could place another order.'See? It wasn't so hard.' Sheena told her sister when the waiter brought another bowl almost immediately.Elena snatched the tray from the waiter before it was placed on the table and she returned Sheena's almost empty bowl to her.'These taste so good.' Elena muttered with a full mouth.'Now how would I know? You exhausted mi

    Sheena paced her room deep in thought. She had promised to do something that was beyond her.How was she to bring a matter to her husband, Mr Dominic? Her marriage was not a typical one where husband and wife freely expressed themselves.She was hardly allowed to speak. She even barely saw her husband except when he wanted to see her. So how was she to request something of him.Sheena felt boxed in. She was lost in this dilemma. She couldn't approach her husband but she needed to help her father, again!She made up her mind. She would go to Mr Dominic and she was prepared for whatever consequences that may arise.Sheena went downstairs to Maria to inquire of her the whereabouts of her husband. 'He returned an hour ago. He is in his study.' Maria had replied Sheena.Sheena complimented Maria's cooking and headed for Mr Dominic's study. She was still fumbling with her dress thinking of how to present her wordings to Mr Dominic so that it sounds appealing and does not piss him off.She

    Sheena arrived at her father's house late at noon. She had to ensure that Mr Dominic left the house before she did and that no one would suspect she was on a mission.On arrival, Sheena met Elena in the living room and thought it was perfect. She would relay her findings to her first and they could decide how to calmly tell their father about it.News like this could be detrimental to his health. It wouldn't be sensible to just drop such information on him.'Finally, you are here.' Elena chimed.'Sorry, I took so long to come. I needed to take careful measures before coming.' Sheena explained.'Is everything alright? What had you crying last night? You scared me so much, that I wanted to go to you at that moment. What happened?' Elena left Sheena with a torrent of questions laced with worry in her voice.'I found out something about Mr Dominic last night. He is planning to …' 'Is your sister here yet?' A male voice interrupted Sheena, cutting her words in her mouth.Sheena raised her

    Sheena was lost in a trance as she stood in the kitchen. Her mind was clouded and heavy. She hadn't been able to come up with any more information to help her father. It seemed as though Mr Dominic knew she had become a spy. He barely spoke about business at the house, not even in the confines of his study when she eavesdrops.She felt helpless and it turned out that the situation served her a lot more than she could have as her sister, Elena didn't want to believe Damian was in on the plan. Sheena's gut feelings told her differently and Elena didn't want to hear any of it.Her sister was in love with the snake. Sheena didn't have any proof except her intuition and it made it harder to convince Elena. Even her logical point that Damian was Mr Dominic's lawyer and it was expected of him to handle such matters made absolutely no sense to Elena.'Oh, Elena.' Sheena muttered to herself as she thought of her sister.'Did you say something to me?' Maria asked.Sheena had completely forgot

    Jake and Sheena exchanged confused looks. What was Mirabel talking about? Their minds shared similar questions.'I need to tell you something about my father's death.' Mirabel announced.'What about our father's death?' Jake asked. They had moved to the study where they could converse in private. Sheena and Jake kept expectant eyes peeled on Mirabel.'I … I.-' she inhaled sharply before she continued. 'I know I've not been the best of persons but I'm working on myself. Hating the one man who had taken me in and had shown mercy on a lowly young orphan. I know now the old man loved me, loved us, even if he never showed it much. He's human after all and bound to make mistakes.' Mirabel swallowed before she began speaking again. 'I had always wanted him dead. Now that he's dead, I regret not having more time with him… I never had the courage to kill him even though I would have loved to, but I wouldn't have stopped anyone wanting to. This was before I knew the truth.''Mirabel, do you k

    Sheena opened her eyes to bright blinding lights. She squinted trying to adjust her eyes to the lights, but shut them after an exhausting attempt. She let out a laborious breath so she could speak, but somehow, she didn't seem to find her voice. She felt parched, her throat overly dry and painful.She opened her eyes again, blinking severally to accommodate the light. After her success at it, she scanned the room. White pristine walls, huge beeping machines, a tray filled with medicines and needles. A hospital. It clicked. She was in the hospital.How did she get here? Memories of the previous day's event flood her mind as she wondered."Jake!" Was he okay? Did Damian shoot him too?Anxiety and fear hijacked every cell in her being. Her breathing hitched and she struggled to raise herself. The effects of the sedatives were still very much active, she felt dizzy but undeterred.'Hey! What are you trying to do?' The concerned voice filled the room as the intruder pushed the door hard,

    'He didn't suspect a thing?' The skepticism in Jake's voice was evident.They had just finished making love. Sheena was resting her head on the muscled bare chest of Jake. She related her experience with Damian to Jake as she idly pulled on his chest hair, a sweet painful sensation for him.Sheena shrugged. 'I couldn't believe it myself. He just went to sleep without saying a word.''I think he is brewing something in that egregious mind of his. He can't be that collected after discovering you went out.' Jake spoke pensively. He paused weighing the possibilities before speaking again. 'And today?' He asked. 'Did he say anything to you today?''He left the house before anyone was up.' She raised her head to stare at him, studying his features. 'Maybe he's tired of paying me any attention. He's got too much trouble on his hand right now. You made sure of that… I don't think it's something to worry about.' She added.'I just have a bad feeling about this. It just doesn't seem right.' It

    'I love you.' Jake whispered to Sheena as they lay on the large hotel mattress. His hand wrapped around her neck, he pulled her closer and planted a passionate kiss on her head.'I love you too.' Sheena replied and kissed him on his lips. She snuggled closer into his hold. Her desire to remain there glaring.Sheena and Jake have been meeting over the past few weeks. Sneaking in and out of hotels like teenage lovers. After that night at the Rollins house, it seemed as though they've never been more in love with each other. Always wanting to be near the other, making mad sweet love.'Hmm, delicious.' He said in reference to her kiss. He moved in to steal more kisses and Sheena laughed at his boyishness.'What?' He asked against her lips. 'You want it here?' He tickled her sides and she laughed harder. He nibbled on her lower lip as she laughed.'Or you want it here?' He trailed kisses down her neck and Sheena girlishily giggled. 'Or here?' He moved further down her breast and took a ni

    'What do you want? Why are you here?' She turned to Mary. You let him into the house? 'Is he why you brought me here?' Sheena asked incredulously.'Please calm down, you're raising your voice. You'll make Damian come here ' Mary pleaded.'Let him come! At least, he'd get rid of this-' she eyes Jake in disgust, indecisive on what adjective to qualify him.'You'll wake up Jayden. Look at her, do you want to wake her?' Mary appealed to her reason and love for her child.Sheena turned her gaze to the bed and softened. Her anger rose again at the sight of Jake near Jayden. 'Get away from my daughter!' Sheena bellowed at Jake. She charged towards him and yanked his hand away from the child. She relaxed again as she watched the child. She smoothed her hand on the silk of Jayden's hair.The sigh of contentment and peace that escaped the child's lips, assured Sheena that everything was fine with Jayden and that she was only sleeping.Sheena bent over and kissed the top of Jayden's head before

    Jake sat in the back seat of his car mulling over the events of the night. 'Drive faster.' He ordered his driver as he rested his head on the headrest, his face turned up staring at the roof of the car. He was thinking.'I can't. Damian keeps Sheena locked up like a prisoner. …It's difficult for me, even as her sister, to see her. We always have to sneak around to meet. …Sheena was waiting, waiting until you'll come to save her.'Elena's words played repeatedly in Jake's head like a mantra. Sheena had been suffering too, just like he suffered in jail. He shut his eyes tightly to drown out the pain, regret, and remorse he felt. He felt deeply foolish and sorry. He had wronged his woman. He had added salt to her painful wounds and he needed to tend to the wounds he had inflicted on Sheena fast.Regardless of the fact that Sheena didn't know that he thought so lowly of her, he still tortured himself for entertaining such thoughts about her. Jake wanted to meet Sheena so he could right

    'What did you just say?' Elena's statement halted Jake in his tracks. His eyes were intent on her.'You heard me.' Elena responded. 'Jayden is your child with Sheena.''She is not my child' Jake said with so much denial and disbelief in his voice. He believed Elena was only trying to get his attention.'Elena, how can you stoop so low to resort to lying? How can you play with such a sensitive matter? Why are you trying so hard to prove your sister a saint? Sheena married Damian after sending Jake to prison. She gave birth to their daughter after her marriage to Damian and you say Jake fathered the child? Who would be stupid enough to believe that?' Oscar berated Elena.'Oh please shut up your foolish mouth Oscar! When would you ever allow your brain to do some actual work?' Elena insulted. She returned her gaze to Jake after silencing Oscar.'Do you really think Sheena could betray you?' Elena entreated Jake to reason.Jake raised his eyes to meet with Elena's. His heart weighed her w

    Elena stood by the entrance of the club contemplating if she should enter. The loud music blaring from the speakers that she used to love, now scared her. She braced herself and stepped in. It didn't take long for her to be spotted.'You came!' Stella squealed joyfully. She extended a hand and pulled Elena towards their table.Stella was Elena's friend from her college days. They had remained friends even after college and lived like teenagers just partying, boozing and boys. That was when life seemed to be fair to Elena and her family. When she lived carefree, her father's business was doing well, her sister didn't need to marry an older man and she wasn't nursing a broken heart.Stella had traveled abroad just about the time the turbulence in Elena's family began. Stella had just returned from her long trip and insisted that Elena come to see her at the club. It has been a long time since she saw her friend and it excited Elena to reunite with Stella. Her excitement though was short

    Sheena tried to stay as calm as she could manage. She kept fumbling with the hem of the oversized hoodie she wore. The hood sat over her head, dark glasses covered her eyes. It was her attempt at a disguise. The angst coursing through her was overwhelming.After much begging and pleading, Mary had reluctantly agreed to take Sheena to meet with Jake on the condition that Mary would have to speak with Jake first, and if Jake was unwilling to speak with her, then they would have to abandon the plan. It seemed like an easy condition.Sheena was certain Jake wouldn't hesitate to see her. Sheena had figured Jake had gone into hiding and was working underground to reclaim all that Damian had stolen from him. Damian was a mutual enemy and she didn't mind joining forces with her lover to bring the enemy to his knees.She couldn't keep calm.
