It was six on the dot, and it was time to leave. After a stressful day having gone through the needed files about Xavier’s new story without any distractions like the first time, Diana could admit that he has grown up.She didn’t see him today, neither did his assistant come to check up on her. The only way she was convinced that she was being watched was through the CCTV camera in the sitting room.Xavier might not be here with her, but his presence was hardly unknown from the number of cameras in the sitting room, the hallway leading to the bathroom?The place was like a fortress , and not just anyone would come into the house, be it a burglar regardless of it being just Xavier that was living alone.As she was busy packing up to leave, her phone started to ring and when she saw who was calling she smiled.Jessica.“Hello, miss girl or would i say Mrs.” Jessica said, teasing her. It was obvious that she’s still trying hard to live around the fact that she wasn’t staying with her any
It was late in the night when Kelvin parked his car outside the hotel Liliana was staying. He didn't know why he came here instead of going home, to play the dutiful husband to his wife that was keeping secrets from him.Maybe it has to do with the fact that Liliana said that it's urgent, or that he needed a distraction to hold in his anger just at the thought of Diana cheating on him.He stepped out of the car, without knowing that he kept his phone in the car because at that moment Diana's call came in but he didn't pick up.While he entered the elevator to Liliana's room, Diana had to stay awake waiting for him in the house, concern lacing her entire demeanor because she had no idea what was happening to him.At first, she had thought of calling his mother, but swept the idea to the carpet because as much as she and Kelvin had reconciled, his mother's hatred towards her was on another level. So, she waited for him to be back.After coming out of the elevator and pressing in the pas
Inside a bus, a young lady is seen sweating profusely, as within every seconds and minutes that passed by, she would glance at her wrist watch to check how much time she was wasted stuck in traffic.It was early winter and late in the evening when Diana Ross, had clocked out of work in a haste to make it back home on time to prepare her husband's dinner, but luck weren't on her side this time around as the traffic jam, didn't seem like it was going to clear any time soon.Others who were on the bus with her, weren't bothered with the way Diana was acting as if she has seen a ghost, the moment she checked her watch to see that she has overstayed her time outside, she sat up on her seat with a jerk, that made everyone to look at her weirdly like she has gone crazy.But knowing that none of them could save her from the trouble, she was in made her not feel bothered, she rushed in a haste and paid for the taxi while feeling Mr. Blaine's pitiful eyes on her, since she was his long time cus
"I can't believe Kelvin did this”. Jessica said, observing the injuries on Diana's swollen eyes which she wore a glass over, "Yeah, I know he's an asshole, but not to this extent. Girl! You could have gone blind." She whined, her voice raised high that Diana had to call her to order, since she didn't want any rumors going around the office.She met Jessica in their last year in highschool, and she has been a good friend and family since everyone practically ditched her because they couldn't stand Kelvin, but Jessica has always been strong headed so there has never been a good time between her and Kelvin, since he valued total submission, but Jessica is an obstruction to her acting like a submissive wife.They were both editors at the company where they worked in the city, but Diana was an intern hoping to become a full employee soon. she's happy that at least she has someone here, who she was familiar with, since she's still a newbie while Jessica was her senior, who has helped her pa
The airport was filled to the brim, on a normal day it wasn't like this but then today was a very special day in the city, Xavier Kings, New York times popular writer, was coming back to the city.His fans filled the airport as it took a whole lot of security to control the crowd, that are anticipating the arrival of their celebrity.Xavier Kings, A world renowned writer whose works has excelled massively around the world. Having had that much fame, and money the most intriguing thing about him was the part where he's single.Every young lady in the city is fighting for his attention, afterall the fame and money he's got was enough to change their life. Hence, it was the battle of the fittest when it comes to Xavier Kings, the number billionaire bachelor in the city of Manhattan.Inside the private airplane he was in, Xavier sat in the chair while scrolling through his latest work, him being in the city wasn't because he liked back here because the city, held a lot of memories which h
Xavier sat with one of his legs crossed over the other, acting like he's not the one who was being talked to. Ofcourse, just like he predicted President Cheng, was talking his ass out, especially about the part where the A-list Model, Anne has to carry her relationship with him out to the world just like that.Not only was this about Anne, but then he was using this to bark his head off for failing to come back after several times, he wanted him here. Although President Cheng, has so far many good authors that were signed under his company, Xavier was among the best he had.So that was the reason why the young man was acting as he pleases, but it calls for that because the amount of money he generates for the company is triple the amount others bring. Besides, his brilliance that was reflected in his work, Xavier was good looking.With his brown chestnut hair falling across his fair, the glass he has over his face couldn't hide his enchanting eyes, that his fans tagged is the gateway
Diana groaned in pain when she woke up from sleep, apparently it was just her in the house because Kelvin was kind enough, not to lock her up in the basement this time around, since the side of his bed was messy, so that's to say that they slept together on the same bed after what he did to her.When the young lady sat up, she felt the pain travel all over her body, as she cried out and sat back down on the bed, her back was killing her and she didn't need anyone to tell her what she will see if she goes to the mirror, to see the state Kelvin has left her body.But eventually, she stood up and took careful steps to the bathroom and gasped in shock when she saw her form in the mirror. She didn't feel this pain at work yesterday but now she is finally getting the hinge of it.Red welts of his belt formed on her skin, starting from her hand down to her stomach, her back was a sore eyes to look at. Kelvin unleashed his anger out on her but this time around he was careful of her face, as h
All through the day Diana wasn't able to control her emotions at work. Not only did she feel like a train had run her over, she also wasn't able to concentrate when the departmental meeting was going on, thus disgracing herself in front of the team leader when asked a question.Here she was in the bathroom, cleaning her face while trying to control herself but before she knew it, she burst out into tears that she couldn't stop.“Diana, what….” Jessica's words were cut short when she swung the door open to walk in on a messed up Diana. She didn't need anyone to tell her what's going on with her friend, before she offered her a hug.“I'm tired, I'm really tired of everything. I don't want to do this anymore.” Diana cried in her embrace, Jessica knew that this was about Kelvin since Diana loved her work so much, and her actions today could only explain that she wasn't in her right senses.She hasn't been able to know what exactly Marianna, Kelvin's mother told her yesterday when she left
It was late in the night when Kelvin parked his car outside the hotel Liliana was staying.

“I’m sorry but Anne isn’t in sound health, how about we schedule another photo shoot for her when she's…hello.” Mr. Black, her agency’s president, said over the phone while Anne looked at him saying nothing as her schedule for the day went downhill.She was here in the hospital because right after Xavier left her, after breaking up with her. She went straight into drugs and overdosed on it. Had it not been for her assistant, Mia who walked in to find her unconscious in her bedroom. Nobody would have known what would happen to her.But one thing was clear, it was all because of Xavier and right now, Mr. Black is controlling himself from being at it with Xavier’s agency, they were breaching a contract but it was very obvious to Anne that Xavier doesn’t care about any of it.He was down to pay for any damages but she doesn’t want to believe that it’s true, rather she was hopeful that he will come around, and come see her once he hears that she’s in the hospital.“Thanks Mr.Banks. I will
“Anne has been calling.” Jake told Xavier, who was busy watching Mrs. Ross work from the CCTV he implanted in the room. It was obvious that he didn't hear what he just said or that he didn't care, after all, Anne never really meant anything to him.“Yeah, she's a pain in the ass.” Xavier mumbled, not really giving Jake the full details of his sudden hostile actions towards his supposed girlfriend.For the past few days, Xavier has changed his passcodes, preventing Anne's access inside his house. Yesterday, Jake ran into her outside the gate, Xavier wasn't at home when she came and from the look on her face, it meant trouble.Jahe didn't know how to go about, pushing Xavier to tell him what transpired between him and the young lady, the last time he had forced him to do so, they had a huge rift between them. As much as he loved Anne and wanted her to always be happy, even if he's not the reason for the smile on her face, he's still working for Xavier and might lose his job.Jake's phon
“Are you sure that you don’t want me to drive you to work?” Kelvin asked again, suspecting that something was wrong with Diana not wanting him to drive her to her workplace.He was persisting to do that, on the other hand, Diana was doing everything possible for him not to know that she wasn’t actually going to work at the publishing company anymore.She didn’t know, but telling Kelvin about her working directly from Xavier’s house, a non-disclosure contract being signed about this very job, made her feel like she’s leaking out top secret information.He’s her husband, but she practically knew nothing about his family business, aside from the fact that the company is a tech company. So, yeah, she owes him no explanation, well as of now.He’s suspecting her like she’s hiding something from him, she could see it in his eyes. The doubt, but she didn’t know how to go about it that she wasn’t cheating on him, because that’s what the old Kelvin would be thinking right now.They had spent th
That same night*Liliana dropped her bag in her room, before taking the nylon that contained the stuff that she has bought from the convenience store inside her bathroom.She's been calling Kelvin for the past five days and he's not picking up, he's avoiding her. For someone who claims that he's in love with his wife, but spends his night in her bed. That was truly an absurd way of explaining his love for her.But that wasn't the reason why she's been calling him, although she missed him and his touch. She was still trying to live with the fact that Kelvin is not her man.Yet, she still find herself trying to find a place to his heart. She took the pregnancy test that was inside the bag after washing her hands and went into the toilet.She should have been scared.After all, if she's truly pregnant by the man who she thought is the father, she might be making a huge mistake by trying to be a homewrecker.But this was a blessing.Kelvin has always wanted a child, something that his wi
“You are leaving.”Jessica breathed out when she came back to see that Diana’s stuff had been packed. She’s leaving and the sad part is that she didn’t tell her that it was today. She didn't made mention of it this early morning.But instead of a frown, a smile covered her face. She wasn’t Diana’s husband, and she’s not going to play the role of an unsupportive friend.“Kelvin will be here any time soon, I had to use the opportunity of being at home today to do the necessary.” Diana said, turning to face Jessica, after she was done checking if there’s anything that was forgetting behind.She doesn’t want to burden her friend anymore, although Jessica wasn’t seeing her being here with her as a burden. But it wasn’t right that she was staying here as a married woman.If there’s anything that Diana has learned so far in her stay here, is to set boundaries especially towards this new start of her relationship with Kelvin. She has stayed with Jessica after running for her life from an obse
“We have been way over this, Linda. I don't know why you still insist on bothering yourself even after seeing for yourself that what you are asking for is impossible, I can't switch you to replace Diana, no, It's not even in my hands to do that.”James said, losing his tie as he walked into his office with Editor Linda following behind, he just came out of a tedious conference that gave him a headache and what he didn't need was anyone adding to it.But Linda clearly was asking him for the impossible, seriously how could she think that he would go back to Cheng and request that Diana be replaced with her, when she saw with her two eyes that Xavier had made his choice.“She isn't going to secure that deal for us, James. Can't you see that this is like sending a kid, who doesn't know how to swim to a pool?” Editor Linda pressured further for the impossible.He sighed, looking at her with annoyance. “How sure are you that she isn't going to succeed? Just because you look down on her does
The sound of her calls forwarding for the fifth time made Marianna's fist to clench tightly in anger, Kelvin was seriously getting on her nerves. It's been days, more than days since he has last come to the company.All his interest was on chasing around that barren wife of his, that her mind was urging her to do something if she doesn't want to lose her son. It's already a shame to her family and to the name of her husband that Diana couldn't do what any woman can do, reproduce.That's why there's Liliana, yet Kelvin leaves such a treasure for some dirty slump he picked from the streets. She doesn't have any problem with what he does with her, but what she won't take is Kelvin playing with the family business.Maybe she should have just let him pursue his career as a doctor, No! There will be no one to take up the work that his father has left behind. Her daughter, Naomi, was not good news. All her interest was on the money, constantly coming into her account and not how the money wa
