Hubby aahh you are the best. Ashina hugged me without caring for anyone present. I smiled holding her tightly in my arms . Actually the main reason for this dinner was to decide on the engagement. We even brought her dowry. Mum had brought almost all the gold and diamonds she had kept for years. She is worth every thing Gavin. The girl loves you with all her heart. I remember mum telling me those words after choosing the precious stones.I smiled as l lead my baby to sit down. Oh sure l don't have any objection my son. We only want our princess to have that smile on her face everyday. Mr. Warren responded. Am l right wifey? He added by questioning his wife. She nodded with a smile looking at her daughter. Ashina is just the min version of her mum. Everything about them is breath takingly beautiful. And l love the fact that Mr. Warren respects his wife alot. Even though there his older brothers and sisters, he doesn't include them in deciding what he wants for his family. That's l thin
Ashina's povVisiting my parent's house again had relieved all the stress l didn't know that l had in the past few months. I slept well after a quick make out in my hubby's arms when we returned to our home. I felt loved and cared for than before by both my parents and the man l love so dearly. My heart is indeed contented. I must be the happiest person in the world. Pray this happens stays that way the rest of my life. I woke early in the morning and l was greeted with a mouth watering breakfast in bed. And the fact that my man prepared it himself made my heart warm up.I didn't see it coming when he suddenly went on his knee after we were done eating. "Marry me Ashina" . He simply proposed. It wasn't that romantic but because of the fact that love him to the moon and back, l was quick to respond "l will marry you daddy."Even though he knew that my answer would be yes, Mr Gavin's eyes lit up after the words left my mouth. He was so happy in that he caught me up and kept on spinn
Congulations mum. I had a voice behind me. It was familiar to me. I turned only to see Eric looking at me with a smile.I haven't seen him since that day we broke up. He didn't also bother me again. I smiled back after replying with a thank you awkwardly.Even though we didn't share anything romantic between us, it doesn't change the fact that we dated. It was meant to be an awkward situation once we meet.You also stunning as ever. He said his eyes smiling with sincerity. Thank you Eric. You look good too. It just thank you lost weight. I replied.Yeah with all that shit happened few days ago, my mind was a mess. Am glad that l managed to go through it. Now am here attending your engagement.I have a place to be right now. I will find dad to congulate him too before l dash a way. Congs again Ashina. I will come soon to have a word of apology with you this week. For now take care. Eric said in one breath and his back faced me. He was no longer a vibrant and funny guy that he used to b
The moment the drive started the engine than annoying message from annoying and disgusting person popped up on my screen.The moment that bastard escaped from prison l knew that he will come back to seek revenge. I would have changed my phone there and then. I don't know why l kept it. It has been otwo years with out any information about him. Why did he suddenly returned. Is he scared that he will go back to prison or even get killed. I frowned. I could understand his thinking capacity at all.I gnored the message when l saw it. But another popped up and l ignored it too.I ireanchwd home and went into the bathroom. I took my bath and got out. I applied lotions on my body. I dried my hair after wards. My phone rang. I glanced and the caller was th same bastard. I ignored it again. After a careful thinking, l decided to call hubby. I needed a new simcard. He was still outside. There is no way am going to be a target for that looser. Not now when am pregnant and my wedding is around th
We left the hospital earlier than expected. We drove around town to kill time until it was that exact hour l promised to meet with Cole. Mr. Gavin got out of the car l was in at the signal just before reaching the Cafe.Cole chose that same Cafe because we used to go there flequently when we were still an item. Since breaking up l never went there again.The car drove into the parking lot and l got out. Oasis Cafe is very well known for its palatable coffee. So if you don't find any place to park don't be surprised. The place is always congested.The driver was trying to get a place to park the car but he couldn't for a mean while. Luckily some one drove out his car and we got that chance.I got out of the car and got a place near the entrance. I sat down and waited for a period of time before ordered anything. Half an hour went by. Cole wasn't anywhere to be seen. I gave him a call. It went through but never answered. What was he upto? I sighed and put down the phone.I asked for a b
Eric sat on the sofa in the living room quietly as he played with his phone. You have came Eric my boy. Mr. Gavin was the one to speak first. Yes dad. I thought well and then realized that l have to give a proper apology to mom before l proceed with my life. Do you mind if l have a word with her? I mean alone. Eric spoke politely. It was clearly seen in his eyes that he needs to apologize.Like sincerely doing may be that's the reason Mr. Gavin didn't hesitate to node at him as an approval. Alright no problem I will be in the study find me there once the two you are done. Mr. Gavin replied and immediately left.Eric and I were left alone in the living room. I ordered tea since Eric isn't a fun of coffee too.Pregnancy looks too good on you. He complimented. Thanks Eric l mouthed back.Well am here to give you a proper apology. Am sorry for everything. You know when you told me that you love someone else l was mad.Really mad. But went extremely crazy when you mentioned that it was my
I tried to push him away especially preventing him from coming near my belly. But Cole was stronger than me. He tried to reach me again but at that moment men in black stormed into the house. Well well you really have the balls to touch my wife. Let's see how it feels when someone touches the person you love. Mr. Gavin's voice sounded in the house. Cole's hands on me loosened and he stood up abruptly. Brother save me please. A girl in her early twenties shouted out loud. She was held by two body guards. Let her go. Cole shouted. I never knew really that Cole had a sister. The girl cried but no one was giving her attention. Cole was trying to fight with body guards but in the end he was caught and tied to the same chair he had me earlier. I learn into Mr. Gavin's arms. We're you scared? He asked. Nope how can l knowing that you will come to save me anytime. I say grinning. Do anything you want to me but leave my sister out of this. Cole spoke. Didn't you just say that my parents h
The most expensive parts of most weddings are costs that associated with the reception venue, including the costs of the renting materials, including tables and chairs, and serving food or drinks.We didn't have to rent all them though especially the reception venue, tables and chairs since my mum owned a hotel at Sese Island. She inherited it from her grandparents who passed away before l was five.The Island was there home town. Like me, my mum is the only child of her parents. Loved and pampered even till now that she is an elder.My grandparents can't spend a month without visiting home. They are lovely and understanding.Mum owning that hotel didn't prevent our wedding from being branded an extravagant one. And it should be recalled that the more the wedding becomes more extravagant the more the costs of everything rises up quickly. But who cared about it. My parents? It's a big no.. Am their only daughter okay add on their only child in this universe of course they will like to s
Alec recorded a video himself where he saidGoodmorning every one. My name is Alec Thomas. Some of you may know me and others don't. Am the current ceo of Thomas group. And am here to clarify the rumors spread about my wife.My wife and l met two years ago and fellow in love with each other. At that time neither of the two of us where married or had any partner.So it's ridiculous for miss Linda to call my wife a mistress when she clearly knows every thing. Miss Linda and l were married for two years but divorced due to her betrayal as you can see in the video below this one. Please don't abuse my wife and family more because of this matter otherwise l will be forced to give a lawyers letter. Thank you for your time. Alec's clarification was belief. After his video another played. In the video two people appeared. One man and the other woman. They were in a hotel room. Have you got the document l told you from Alec, the man asked. I got everything in my bag. I even found something
You being a rich sometimes feels you are guilty of many things. And people treat you are you no human. That you have to give in to all their demands. Take Linda for example. She is a greed person and always want more even though she knows it's out of her reach. Mrs. Thomas said.Back then her father was a royal servant of my husband. He was a good mannered man and also keep others safe. As a reward for his hardworker, my husband arranged a marriage between the two families and also sent Linda abroad to study further. My husband died and in that very year my oldest son disappeared. So Alec had to marry Linda. Anyway there wasn't any choice made who should marry her when the arrangements were made. And that time Alec needed a wife for business.He treated her well and she never lacked anything. But she was deceived by others to betray her husband and the family. Now she keeps on pestering us as we owe her. She is just shameless. She added.So that what happened. I thought inwardly. I di
The kids were still asleep but with the help of their nannies, every thing became easy. Few minutes later we stood at the entrance of a gigantic door. It was not inside the mansion but attached to it in the sides. The door slowly opened on its own. A sharp lingering sweetness of incense filled my nostrils. Am not a fun of incense but this was too mouth watering. I inhaled it from time to time as we entered the hall. Like the dinning hall and other important halls in the mansion, the ancestral hall was also cathedral ceiled. It's just a free space with only a red carpet. No chairs. When you just enter you are faced with the alter on which many pictures of old people are displayed.Most of the elders and other youths were present. Old man also the family's only grandpa left on earth took lris from me. He also called the other three kids to go to the alter. He then knelt down and said in a loud voice: "Our dear great ancestors both paternatal and maternal ones l greet you all l present
Six months later we traveled to edini city. Mrs Thomas suggested that since we had named the baby with Thomas family name, she had to be presented to the ancestral hall in the mansion. She claimed that the baby will be blessed and protected. Neither l nor Alec argued about it. In addition to that, Tonny Alec's personal assistant'wedding was around the corner. It was planned to take place in Edini city. Thus this journey was inevitable. It was Saturday night when we landed. Unlike the past visits to Thomas mansion, this time it was filled with people of different ages every where. Is the Thomas family very big? I couldn't help but ask Alec. Yes there are so many people who live in different cities. They normally gather here when some thing important came up. He explained. I nodded. Most of these people ain't easy to deal with and they are greed for healthy in this main branch. We have to be cautious of every one here. Although l dealt with the person who staged the original Alec's p
Ashina's point of viewThe situation was already stagnant but Leyla was still stubborn. She dared to plot something like that to my daughter and thought that she will go scot free. What mind does she have?Ain't you going to apologize Leyla Anthony? I asked but Leyla only scoffed. In you dreams. She uttered without any fear. Very well then. I replied with a smile. At that time Leyla was being held by two body guards. I signaled to them and they got a hint. In the next seconds Leyla was forced to drop on the floor kneeling infront of me. She gasped in pain. I kept my smile as l saw her angry face.You bitch how dare you... Paa.... I slapped her so hard that my palm hurt. Whom did she call a bitch? I hate people to look down on me the most.You think you got it all that you are stepping on me. Bitch am telling that if you are to do something on me just do it otherwise you will... PAA...... Another slap..... Apparently she doesn't know that the word bitch is the reason why she is having
Leyla's point of view Ashina Warren thought that l was her friend few years back. Little did she know that she was the person l hated most in this world. At school she always took my spotlight. Even after school she shone brighter than any of the other girls in school with her wealthy family. And later she married Gavin Maina the guy l had eyes for and my father was in support of me. If l had married Gavin, our family would have been in top five in the country. The Maina family has alot of influence in Rabadan and country Z at large. I didn't expect that she will be a stabbing block in my way. I approached George who thought that l was madly in love with him. But all l wanted was his elder brother. Gavin was smart, outstanding and handsome despite the fact that he had aged. That bitch Ashina ruined our plans by marrying him. How could we just sit and let something that we planned for a long time just go to waste like that. We did everything but never succeeded. Her dad despite the
Ashina's point of viewI had stopped going to work. Every thing that needed my signature had to be done online. However after my pregnancy was in the second trimester, l couldn't even sit on the chair to do work for more than two hours. My head was ever buzzing and am dizzy for minutes. Alec had to take over my roles even though he did not want to get involved in the company anymore. I was sick every day. No every second that at the beginning of the third trimester l thought that l was going to die. My family couldn't do anything but just sit in the living room waiting for what is next.And the kids would just ask me when am going to play with them again. And that would make me sad. However thinking about the other baby in my womb, l had to fight hard to keep my emotions at bay. Surprising the last month l didnt get any sickness and was relieved that am going to give birth happily.l would even walk around in the garden and play with my kids. Who would have imagined that Leyla Anthony
Alec's point of view. It was there, l mean that sense of contentment when l entered the white villa after a long period of time. That is the thing l dont feel when am at the Thomas mansion in Edini city. Here it feels home. It's where l do belong but at the moment l wasnt enjoying it when my Ashina was suffering for our baby. I just finished the last meeting and decided to let her know that l was coming back. But Jane her secretary was the one who answered and informed me that she was in the hospital. Don't get confused. Ashina has two Janes . The one who is the kids' nanny and the other is the secretary at work. While rushing to the car to go to the airport, l asked her what happened. Ashina had informed me yesterday about her stomach discomforts and insisted that she was better. I stupidly believed her but apparently l made a grave mistake. I shouldn't have listened to her and call the doctor right away. Am not sure sir what. really happened to her. I called her several times a
Moments later the dizziness was gone. I helped myself on the railing and l went to my room. Climbing all the stairs almost took my life. I was breathing heavily when l made it to the room. My lips were dry to the extent that there was blood in the middle of my lower lip. I drank a bottle of water that was on table besides my bed.I lay on bed flat.My tummy's discomforts were back again and this it was serious. I tossed on the bed. Curved into a ball few times but nothing was helping. The discomforts turned into unbearable pain.At this time l regretted not allowing Alec to call a doctor.l tried to get my phone to ring the doctor myself and only to remember that l have left the phone down stairs. Luckily someone opened the door. I heard tinny footsteps. I could only imagine that lsla was the one that came in before l blanked out.When l came back to my sense, l was welcomed by a white ceiling and the smell of disinfectants. I knew that l was in the hospital right away.But still l fel
