“See, this Is not a matter we should rush, just calm down, all the problems will be solved soon,After all, I have divorced her for good, and she had gone out of my life for good, relax your mind, we will get married soon,” Stanley said, “Why can't you go and meet Larissa and warn her to stay away from anything that concerns you, because I guess, she might be seen your grandfather,” Barbara said, “I trust her, she dare not come to my house, even If she come, the housekeepers will tell me, but, these days, I believe she's busy with her job, she doesn't have time for anything of such,” Stanley explained,“I can't understand why your grandfather will still be expecting her back to your life, see all the evil she did before be she left,” Barbara said,That's not the Issues here, Larissa Is my past, and you're my present, don't bother your mind too much, play your role , and leave my ex aside, let's focus on our relationship,” Stanley explained, “Do you think It's easy to be living I
Meanwhile, Barbara put on a facade, pretending that everything was fine and beautiful in her life,Deep down, however, she had a hidden agenda getting rid of Larissa, her boyfriend's ex wife, Barbara knew that if Larissa was out of the picture, she could gain the support of Stanley's wealthy grandfather, In order to carry out her sinister plan, Barbara had arranged to send a hitman to take Larissa out of the way, late one evening, in a room, Barbara nervously paced back and forth, She clenched her fists, the weight of her deceit weighing heavily on her mind, the hitman she had hired, a man by the name of Alyssa, was supposed to eliminate Larissa that very night. As the minutes ticked away, Barbara's anxiety grew,Meanwhile, at the hospital where Larissa worked, she was unaware of the danger approaching her, It was just another night on duty, her dedication to her job as a nurse and Larissa's commitment to her job had always been a sore spot for Barbara, as it prevented her fr
Barbara paced nervously in the luxurious penthouse, her mind skipping with thoughts of the recent events. She had been thinking of how to manipulate situations to her advantage, But now, with Alyssa, the hitman she had hired, behind bars, she felt a creeping sense of vulnerability.She knew that if Alyssa revealed her name during the interrogation at the police headquarters, her carefully constructed world would come crashing down. Her reputation, and even the marriage she had been longing for might not come to reality, and the relationship she was trying hard to build might crashed, and Stanley might leave, and her world would be tainted, but Barbara couldn't let that happen, As she pondered her next move, her phone buzzed with a text message. It was from Alyssa's lawyer, informing her of the arrest and requesting a meeting immediately. Barbara's heart skipped a beat, was this a trap? Or could this be an opportunity?“ she asked,She hesitated for a moment, contemplating the ris
Larissa nodded, realizing that she needed to find a way to cope with the ongoing uncertainty, she took a deep breath, determined not to let the situation consume her entirely,months later, Larissa continued to work diligently at the hospital, the doctor in charge, doctor Brownies, had implemented stringent security measures to ensure the safety of both the staff and patients, Larissa appreciated the extra precautions, as it provided her with a sense of protection in the midst of her personal turmoil,One evening, while attending to her patients, Larissa overheard a conversation between two doctors. They were discussing the attempted murder case, unaware that Larissa was within earshot,"I can't believe how long this case is taking," one doctor said, "It's a clear cut situation of attempted murder, the evidence is overwhelming, I don't understand what's causing the delay," he said,The other doctor nodded in agreement. "I heard that the defense attorney is using every tactic possib
As Barbara prepared to leave the luxurious house with annoyance, the sound of hurried footsteps echoed through the grand hallway, Stanley rushed towards her, his expression filled with urgency and determination,"Barbara, wait," Stanley called out, his voice sounds with emotion. "I have to tell you something before you go," he said,Barbara turned around, her eyes locking with Stanley's intense gaze, his words piqued her curiosity, and she couldn't help but wonder what he needed to share with her, she waited patiently, her heart pounding in her chest,"I...I love you, Barbara," Stanley confessed, his voice trembling with sincerity. "You mean more to me than anything in this world, that's why I divorced Larissa, I couldn't bear to be with anyone but you, please, don't leave me, I will do the needful,” Stanley explained, Barbara's eyes widened with surprise, her mind racing to process Stanley's unexpected admission, and she struggled to find the right words to respond,"I...I don't
“Excuse me, miss, do you happen to know anything about Larissa's husband?" Barbara asked hesitantly,The nurse looked slightly taken aback by Barbara's question but smiled politely, "Oh, you must be referring to Dr Brownies, yes, they do spend a lot of time together, the rumors suggest that he might be the father of her child," the nurse said,Barbara's heart leaped in her chest, Her suspicions were confirmed, she couldn't help but feel a surge of happiness and relief, Finally, she could put her worries to rest, knowing that Stanley's ex-wife wouldn't return to the house, she thanked the nurse and quickly made her way out of the hospital.Back home, Barbara tried to contain her excitement as she mulled over the information she had just discovered,She couldn't wait to share the news with Stanley and put their fears to rest. She knew he would be relieved too,When Stanley arrived home that evening, Barbara greeted him with a bright smile, "Stanley, guess what I found out today? Lari
Barbara slammed the door shut and threw her bag on the couch in frustration. She couldn't believe she had been denied entry at the hospital where Larissa, Stanley's ex-wife, worked as a nurse,It was an unexpected turn of events that left her feeling angry and confused, She hastily pulled out her phone and dialed Stanley's number, hoping to find some answers, after a few rings, he finally picked up,"Stanley, you won't believe what just happened!" she exclaimed, her voice filled with frustration."What happened, Barbara?" Stanley asked, concern evident in his voice."They denied me entry at the hospital where Larissa works. It's unbelievable! I don't understand why they wouldn't let me see her," Barbara retorted emotionally,Stanley sighed on the other end of the line. "I'm sorry, Barbara. I didn't expect this to happen, I'll go there right now to see what's going on, Maybe I can talk to Larissa and sort things out."Barbara felt a mix of relief and worry, She was relieved that
Two days had passed since Barbara and Stanley had discovered the news that Stanley's ex-wife, Larissa, was pregnant. Filled with anger and jealousy, she dialed Larissa's number, determined to confront her about the situation,As Larissa answered the call, she could sense Barbara's hostility and immediately braced herself for whatever was about to come. "Hello?" she greeted cautiously,Barbara wasted no time in getting straight to the point, "Listen here, Larissa," she began, "I want you to stay away from Stanley, he's mine now, and I won't let you ruin our happiness."Larissa couldn't help but scoff at Barbara's possessiveness. "Oh, really? Is that what you think? Well, let me tell you something, sweetheart. Stanley may be your current boyfriend, but he was once my husband. And our connection goes beyond a mere title." Larissa said confidently,Ignoring Larissa's remark, Barbara continued her tirade and she continues to rant, "you need to find out who the father of your baby is,
Larissa stood in front of the podium, her voice projecting through the microphone as she continued her program of peace, unity, and health talk She had already visited numerous schools, spreading her message of love and understanding, before finally arriving at her children's school for her much anticipated lecture, As Larissa began her speech, parents filled the chairs, eagerly awaiting her words of wisdom. Stanley, Larissa's ex husband, was among them. He couldn't help but feel a sense of surprise and admiration at how respected and expected she had become as a public figure. Despite their differences, he acknowledged Larissa's dedication and the positive impact she was making.Sitting beside Stanley was his personal assistant, and his son, Bernard had convinced Stanley to stay and listen to the lecture, assuring him that it would be an eye opening experience. Stanley reluctantly agreed, deciding to wait and see what Larissa had to say.The lecture was filled with powerful m

Tears streamed down her face as she realized the magnitude of what had transpired. She st
“Hi,” I purred seductively as I walked over to my bed and sat down.“Hi,” he replied with a small smile. He made no moves to come towards me; I think he was trying not to rush me. I patted the bed beside me and he eagerly trotted over and sat down.“Thanks for checking my room,” I whispered, playing with the neck of his t-shirt, tracing my finger along the skin there.“Anytime. I’m just sorry I won’t be here for you tonight. Try not to have too many nightmares, OK?” He looked at me with sad eyes; we both knew that I would have nightmares without him here.I got onto my knees and moved to him, throwing my leg over his so I was sitting on his lap, straddling him. I wrapped my arms around his neck and looked into his beautiful blue eyes. He looked a little taken aback but his eyes danced with excitement.“I’m sorry that Claire’s staying over. I’m actually really going to miss you half crushing me to death in the night,” I teased. I said it as a joke but to be honest I really was goin
I could feel my nerves bubbling up. “Er…. well I…. er…. Oh! Freddie borrowed it when he stayed here, so it must smell like him,” I lied, stumbling over my word She buried her head in the pillow. “Mmm, I’m sleeping with this one tonight,” she stated, holding the pillow tight.I choked on my laughter. “Whatever, Claire. Let’s go eat I’m starved.” I pushed myself up off of the bed and walked towards the door so we could get the food ordered.“I got this!” she chirped, waving a DVD in front of my face. Even the cover scared the heck out of me. I rolled my eyes and stalked out of the room plopping down onto the sofa next to Freddie. He put his hand down onto the sofa next to mine and discreetly rubbed his little finger across mine when no one was looking.“Have you ordered the food, Richard?” I asked, shifting sideways on the seat so that my knee touched Freddie’s thigh. I saw a smile play at the corner of his mouth.“Yep, done. It’ll be here in ten,” Richard said, shifting up the oth
“Well, I don’t know why you’re looking so cocky about it; you’re not going to sleep too brilliantly either.” I grinned, sticking my tongue out at him.“Hmm, is that an invitation?” he asked, raising an eyebrow. I instantly realised what he was talking about, he was asking if I wanted to kiss him again because I showed him my tongue. I sure as heck did.“Sure,” I purred, looking at him seductively, knowing that he couldn’t reach me over the table so he would have to wait until after we left the restaurant.He immediately jumped out of his chair and bent down next to me, taking my face in his hands and kissing me, not seeming to care where we were or if people were watching. I took the initiative this time and traced my tongue along his bottom lip, he opened quickly and I slipped my tongue in. He moaned into my mouth, pulling me closer to him. The kiss was so good that it was making me slightly dizzy. He didn’t once try to touch me other than holding my face, which I was surprise
He just laughed and started driving. “How about Chinese? You like that, right?” he asked, glancing at me from the corner of his eye.“Yeah, I love Chinese food!” I chirped happily, grinning like I’d won the lottery. Richard hated Chinese food so we hardly ever had it; Freddie smiled and drove us to the restaurant on the high street.We were now sitting, eating our food. We had been chatting happily for nearly an hour and I was again surprised by how easy it was to talk to him. I’d known him for twelve years and I’d never really just spoken to him properly about stuff. His leg brushed mine under the table and made me jump, not because of my fear, but because it sent a little jolt through my system, making the hairs on the back of my neck prick up and my pulse quicken.I decided now was the time to sort it out, there was only one other couple in the restaurant so we could talk freely, but I just didn’t know how to begin. “Freddie, I think we need to talk about something,” I said qui
“Fine, it’s nearly one anyway so we’d better clear the studio,” Justin said, holding out his hand to help me up.I shook my head, laughing. “Can’t. I honestly can’t move,” I muttered, closing my eyes, trying to catch my breath. The next thing I know Freddie was there, he grabbed hold of me and picked me up, throwing me over his shoulder as if I weighed nothing at all, and headed towards the girls shower room, laughing. “What the hell are you doing?” I cried, still annoyed at him for what he did to me last night.“Helping you,” he stated. I could tell he was smirking by his stupid sexy voice.“Put me down!” I ordered, trying to wriggle free, but he just gripped me tighter.I heard the shower turn on.No! He wouldn’t!He did.He stepped into the shower, putting me down under the spray, both of us getting completely soaked. I stood there, shocked. I had a change of clothes with me so it didn’t really matter, but I didn’t think that he did. Ha, stupid idiot, now he has to sit in hi
I wriggled a little and pushed my cellphone back onto the side. “Freddie, Justin said I need to kick your hot ass out of my bed and get there, fast.” I chuckled.He groaned and buried his face into my back. “Damn Saturdays are a pain in my ass,” he muttered, rolling off of me onto his back. I turned my head to look at him; he was giving me his trademark smirk. “Your t-shirt’s ridden up a bit there. Want me to get that for you?” he asked, looking down at my backside. I hastily shot my hands down to feel that his t-shirt that I was wearing, was now up bunched up around my waist, which meant he had a clear view of my ass in my thong. I didn’t quite know where we stood after last night, but I think I had the right to tease him a little. It’s not like he’d never seen me in my underwear before, he saw enough of me last night while I was being sick in just my underwear!“No thanks. I got it.” I climbed out of the bed and stripped off his t-shirt, throwing it in his face so I was just
“What are you talking about? He did! He just kissed me and stole it,” I croaked, a tear falling from my eye. He wiped it away with his thumb and shook his head.“Yeah, he did just kiss you, but that wasn’t your first kiss. I had that a long time ago,” he explained, with a half smile that made his face look beautiful.What the hell was he talking about? I’d never kissed him. I frowned, thinking back, trying to remember. “Remember when I hurt myself when I fell out of that tree in my front garden? I was thirteen and my freaking leg hurt so badly, and you asked what you could do to make the pain go away.” He closed his eyes and shook his head at the memory, with a small smile playing at the corners of his lips.I gasped. Oh my gosh, that’s right! He’d asked me to kiss him and I did, well, twice actually. He said that it was still hurting and asked me to kiss him again. Right after that, Richard came out of the house and caught us; he punched Freddie in the face for it. Oh crap
