When Xavier walked into his villa with Jake following behind to carry in his luggage and stuff, they were surprised to find the model, Anne, sitting in the sitting room.From the look of things, she has made herself quite comfortable while waiting for her boyfriend, Xavier to be back.“I will be upstairs.” Jake said, looking at Xavier who has no smile on his face. If there was anything Xavier loved, it was his privacy but it's his fault for inviting Anne to his villa on one of their dates, because now she's playing wife duties for a nigga that doesn't see her that way.When Jake left them. Anne stood up from the chair she was sitting on for Xavier to look at the clothes, she was wearing to see that it was one of his shirts that hung low below her knees, while her sexy legs were showing off.Anne was a beautiful woman no doubt, that's why she was named the nation's first love. He could still recall his first time meeting her at a social event, she's beautiful and intelligent but not en
The next day, Diana came to work wearing glasses to cover the injuries around her eyes that were still healing. The look she was getting from everyone made her wonder, if they already knew that she's wearing it just to hide how creative her husband was.Maybe Jessica has been getting real cozy with the others, and told them what was going on in her marriage, but Dianna didn't want to think that she might actually do that. Yet, her argument with her yesterday might have been the reason why she ratted out on her.“Diana, you are here.” Editor Lin, the team leader, saw her when she walked into the office before handing her a series of documents. “Photocopy these for me and sort them all out according to the date.”She was instructed before the woman left, since she got this job she hasn't done any real or important task that would make her feel like truly she was an editor, but it was only based on the part that she was an intern.Also, the assistant team leader was harsh on newcomers li
“What do you mean by that?!” Kelvin asked, he was angry at the information he was getting from president Cheng, concerning his relationship with Anne.Apparently, the bitch has gone to his office and had some talk with him, that's what Jake told him before Cheng called, and now he has to fake a relationship with her for five good months. He's going on about it being good for his story, that the publicity he's going to get will be dope.But he was angry at Cheng, because he didn't consider the part of telling him all about this, before going ahead to openly declare that he's in a relationship with Anne. He has woken up to see his schedules for the day, one that included taking Anne on a date, a fake date to back up the said rumor going on about them.“Relax, Xavier. I did everything for your own good.” Cheng said, but Xavier scoffed at his words. He's lucky that they were just speaking on the phone, because he would have had serious issues with him.He's not his father, he's just a man
While Kelvin was buttoning up his shirt, the naked woman who was asleep on the bed of the hotel room started to wake up, and soon he felt her hand wrapped around his waist.“Are you leaving, babe?” Lilian asked, kissing his neck while Kelvin stood up, moving away from her hold as if he's angry at her because from the look on his face, says it all that he isn't happy but she's certain that it has nothing to do with her.Kelvin didn't talk to her, Lilian has been his classmate and friend since highschool. Their parents had been friends since he could remember, and they had often joke around about marrying off the two of them. But everything changed when Kelvin met Diana.Right now, he wasn't angry at Lilian, rather he was angry that he got no text message or call from Diana, how stupid of a wife she was not to check up on him yesterday.He loved his wife, Diand knew that but sometimes his anger gets a hold of him to the extent that he beats her, but it's also Diana's fault. Her inabilit
“You need to stop checking your phone, you are not going to enjoy tonight if you are worried about him.” Jessica complained, while she was picking out a dress for Diana.Undoubtedly, this workshop was exactly what Diana needed, to free her mind from what was going on back at town in her home.On their first day here, they had barely gotten any chance to enjoy themselves and explore the city.The team leader took everything serious, but why won't she? This was about Xavier Kings, everyone was battling to be the lucky person he chooses to be the editor for his story.Everything has been going on fine on Diana's part, at least the injuries that she got from Kelvin's battering has faded, and she can smile again having enjoyed her stay here in the city, until tonight being the last day they were to stay here, did she start receiving threatening messages from Kelvin.“No, i am not worried about him, Jessica. He hasn't called or sent any messages for the past two days until now.” Diana compla
Standing outside the luxurious club, that Jessica has not stopped talking about for ages, Diana wanted to have a change of mind. It was a habit, she tends to get real nervous whenever she goes to places she's unfamiliar with.Jessica was saying something to one of two bulky men, who stood outside the club. They looked extremely intimidating, but when has Jessica ever feared anyone? She didn't understand the kind of courage she had, until she placed her arm on her own before dragging her inside the club.The sweaty bodies of people had Diana recoiling at the thoughts of dancing. She knew that she was unfit for this sort of place but as usual was already clapping her hands, and swinging her hips to the beat of the music.“Let's dance to celebrate your freedom.” Jessica had to yell because of the loud music, but Diana declined.“I think i will pass, I need a drink.” She said in a haste because she knew how fast Jessica can be in changing one's mind. But no, she wouldn't give in this time
Diana woke up tiredly, rubbing her eyes as she tried to sit up only to be held down by a strong force.What the…She opened her eyes fully to connect with an unfamiliar background, this wasn't Jessica's house. When she looked down at her sides when she felt movement, she gasped in shock to see someone lying beside her on the bed.A man?She didn't know who he was or how exactly she got into this situation, hence she also couldn't remember what she done the previous night to spend the night with him.Until bits and bits of her memory started to come, but the headache she had was too much for her to intercept everything.But the only thing she grabbed was the part, where she had kissed this handsome stranger, and they had taken it up to his hotel room and spent the night together.A whole lot of thoughts started going through her mind, and the young woman became worked up! She didn't know what had gone through her but most importantly, she didn't want to wait for the sleeping man at her
“So, when you woke up she was gone?” Jake double asked Xavier, who was sitting on the sofa with his hand on his head.Undoubtedly, he had the best night with that young lady who has been on his mind since he woke up.He was disappointed to see that she had left before he could wake up, at least he could have asked her for her name. But when Xavier came back to his senses, he questioned himself on what he was doing.He was never someone that is interested in anyone just like that, Anne was a lesson he had had to learn but this woman isn't like Anne. She was fun to talk with, she's beautiful. More beautiful than Anne and most importantly, what fascinated him about her, is the fact that she didn't know him.At first, it hurt his ego because she started to talk rudely to him, as if he's one of those men at the club that wants to sleep with just any woman they see. But it was for the better that she didn't know him. She wasn't pretending because being a writer has made him study the human
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
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
“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
