The lawyer arrived later in the evening with the already prepared papers for them. Sasha came down to meet them. Michael was still sitting on the couch while the lawyer was sitting in a sofa opposite him, Gary was standing beside Michael. The three men looked at Sasha when she arrived but she went straight and sat in the same couch with Michael. He glanced at her but her eyes was fixed on the lawyer "Mrs. Brown" he greeted.
"Where is it?" She asked directly.The lawyer looked at Michael and then back at her "are you sure you really want to do this ma'am?""Where is it?" Sasha demanded."Right here ma'am" he stood up and placed the divorce papers and a pen on the table. Sasha picked it up with the pen and sat back down. She flipped through the papers and input her signatures where necessary before placing the papers and pen back on the table.The lawyer glanced at Michael and he sighed before nodding at Gary who picked up the papers and brought to him. He handed him th'My darling Sasha!'Sasha gulped when she saw the words, her heart missed a beat, her fingers shook. Her eyes locked on the three words, fourteen letters, darling Sasha? He...he...called her darling Sasha?There was no other letter nor word on the page again, she got her shaking fingers to turn the page and that was where she saw full page written in the handwriting of a twelve year old or thirteen. She took a deep breath and began reading."Dear grandma!Ever since your death, life hasn't been meaningful anymore. Mom is trying her best but it's not the same. I miss you, so much and I can't stop wishing for you to come back, even though mom said you are in a better place now.My birthday is next week and mom is planning a birthday party for me. You know how much I hate my birthdays and you are the only one who makes me enjoy it in a little way.I miss talking to you a lot so I got this diary, I know you will not be reading it but at least, it makes me feel like I'm
Sasha gently opened the envelope, treating it like an egg as she brought out the letter, she unfolded it with shaky hands and wondered what sweet words he might have written in it. She was impatient to read it but at the same time nervous, she took a deep breath before letting her eyes settle on the words."My darling Sasha!Words might not really convey the message I want to tell you but I will try my best. I understand I might be the last guy you expect to receive a letter from but believe me, I'm really nervous writing this.When I first saw you, I knew there was something different about you, but what I didn't know was that you would capture my heart like you did.I never believed in love, my late grandma had tried to explain to me how it truly feels but I never listened. Right now, you are making me feel like I'm the only man in the world. My heart jubilates when you are near, even though I have never said a word to you, I have said every single word in the world to
The ding sound rang loud in her chest and she jumped. The door opened and she stepped out, there was only one door in the hallway. She stood before the door, her heart beating, hands shaking, mind racing. She didn't know what to expect, will Michael forgive her? Will he give her a second chance?After using three minutes to calm herself, she slid the card on the door and it opened, she entered the house to witness a cloud of smoke.She froze.The smoke choking her, she cleared away the smoke from her face as she tried to find her away around. She opened the first door she saw but it was empty. Her eyes were turning red due to the smoke, and soft coughs escaped her mouth. She shut the door and went to the next room, but it was empty. There was another door by the right, she opened it but nothing. She made her way back to the living room through the smoke, that was when she noticed that the balcony was open.She strode gently towards it and there, she saw the silhouette he
Sasha kissed Michael again, and again, and again, not wanting to let him go neither did he but the growling sound coming from her stomach disrupted the moment.At first, Michael was confused of where the sound was coming from until it rumbled again and Sasha laughed "guess no matter how happy I am, my stomach can't forget I haven't eaten.""Let's go get you something to eat then. I can't have you dying on me before I even have you" he picked out strands of hair from her face which he placed behind her ear "if so, then I will wish this day never happened."Sasha chuckled, "come to think of it, today is Sunday. We can start by going to a church together.""I would love that but do you know the time?""Oh. No church service is still on by now.""Hey, not to worry, we have a lot of Sundays coming our way. Right?" He asked just to be sure."What do you think?" she kissed him again "but I'm supposed to be killing you now.""What?""Yes. How many times will I tel
The room has been cleared from the smoke and she could see the beauty now. Her food was on the table and Michael and Gary were working in the study room with the door opened. He looked up then and their eyes met.Sasha looked away shyly but Michael didn't. His gaze locked on her, there were smiles in his eyes as well as happiness. Everything happened so fast that he was still trying to get used to it. He can't believe it, Sasha, his Sasha is finally his and he can make a claim on her anywhere now and not just in his heart. This needs some getting used too.Gary looked at his boss when he was no longer replying to what he was saying only to discover that he might not have been listening too. He followed his gaze to see he was staring at Sasha who was trying all her best not to look at them. Oh, yes he had wished and prayed for them to know about their love for the other but he doesn't want to become a third wheel whenever he is with them "boss?"Michael woke up from his reve
Sasha stepped out of the bathroom, she grabbed another towel to dry her hair when the door opened and Michael walked in. His eyes caressed her exposed body and she blushed, turning away from him. He smiled and walked up to her and hugged her from behind. Sasha bit her lips shyly. She was still trying to get used with the intimate way he acts with her now and girl, does she love it."You look sexy. If where we are going aren't important, I can just say we forget about it" he nuzzles his head on her neck, his breathing tantalizing her body."Where are we going exactly?""You will know when we get there.""I thought there will be no more secrets between us?" She pouted."Of course. I'm not hiding anything or won't be hiding anything from you ever again, it's a promise.""Then what are you doing now?"He chuckled, "I didn't say I have to reveal everywhere we are going" he took the towel from her and started drying her hair for her.Sasha smiled and relaxed in the
"Such mushy words from a man like you, I'm impressed" Agatha wowed "I always tell Sasha you aren't so gentle" she winked.Marilyn, Sasha, Agnes and Janet all shouted "Agatha!""What?" She questioned.The rest of the people in the room did not understand but the friends know themselves very well.Michael and Sasha joined the table and a casual chat started among them which to Sasha's surprise, Michael joined and even made jokes.Their orders arrived and they couldn't get much eating done because the atmosphere was lively and there were busy chatting and laughing.While waiting for their desserts, Michael looked from one person to the other and cleared his throat "I called everyone here for a reason" that got him their attention "I understand I might have been in everybody's black book at first and believe me, I am not happy of that myself and I sincerely apologize for that" his gaze met Sasha's "I'm sorry."Sasha nodded with a smile."I can't think of any othe
Michael and Sasha went to Paris for their four weeks honeymoon and to which Sasha succeeded in keeping him out of their honeymoon suite. He only gets to be in the room at night which they will still engage in another activity.Life was perfect for them and they enjoyed every minute of it. Their second wedding didn't have as much guests as their first but it was the best, due to the fact that the hearts of the bride and groom are in sync and in love.They returned home after their honeymoon but rather than stay in their formal house, Sasha wanted a new mansion with swimming pool and Michael had no choice but to agree and so they move into another of his mansions. Which Sasha claimed to be the starting point of their lives together and they don't have to deal with the past.Michael replaced Sasha's proposal for the Jack and Jones contract with the one he had already written for her and also terminated her contract with Derek to be her investor which he then made himself and S
“I don’t get it, what would it take you to tell her how you feel?” Sapphire asked the man beside her, staring at the windscreen of his eighteenth birthday car at the young girl with dark brown hair and beautiful hazel eyes. A girl she had known all of her life and has known that her brother was crushing on big time but will never tell her.“I don’t know what you are talking about,” Christopher answered, tearing his gaze away from the girl even though it was so hard to do.Sapphire sighed, shaking her head softly, “this thing they say, like father like son, I think it’s true.”Christopher groaned tiredly, “please don’t start with your lectures about dad and mom relationship, please.”“I only use it because it the truth, I mean, look at you, you have been in love with Cindy for as long as I can remember, but tell her? Hell no,” she shook her head again.“I don’t love her.”“Yeah, keep lying to yourself,” she folded her arms on her chest, “it’s your birthday tomorrow, if you want, I can
“Happy Anniversary,” Michael whispered to Sasha in the ear and she turned to him, staring at the small box he was handing her.“What is this?” she asked with a smile, taking the box from him.“Open it, who else asks what was given to them for anniversary?” Michael rolled his eyes, then kissed her forehead.Sasha chuckled and opened the box, she was surprised to see a key and she looked up at him with a raised eyebrow, “I don’t understand.”“Let’s go,” he smiled and grabbed her hand, leading her out of the house.“Where to?” Sasha asked, getting into the car.“To see your anniversary present, duh,” he laughed softly, getting into the car.They drove for twenty minutes and seeing the neighborhood they were driving through, Sasha frowned. “Are we going over to your parents’ house?”Michael chuckled but said nothing. Another ten minutes drive, they pulled in front of a massive gate. Michael glanced at Sasha and she raised her eyebrow at him. He smiled and turned to the windscreen, in seco
“Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear Christopher, happy birthday to you,” Everyone chanted as Sasha walked out pushing a cart with a big creamy cake with seven lit candles.Chris was all smiles and Sasha noted that she hadn’t seen him smile so much since they left home over two months ago. And deep inside, she knew the reason and she was happy that she and Michael were able to sort their differences before his birthday came and in a way, she was able to keep her promise of celebrating his birthday as a one big family without compromising anything, nothing could make her any happier.“Alright Chris, make a wish,” Vanessa said and Chris gingerly walked over to the table that holds his big cake, closing his eyes, he blew out the candles.“What did you wish for?” Sasha asked with a smile, ruffling his hair.“I didn’t make a wish,” Chris replied.Everyone frowned at that, “why is that?” Michael asked.“I sent an appreciation prayer,” Chris replied facing every
Two weeks gone by, Sasha knew she has no grievances against Michael anymore, if even asked, she just wants them to be a family again but for some reason, she didn’t want to bring it up and was prepared to wait for him to do so. Her phone’s ringtone disrupted her thinking and she picked it from her desk, seeing the caller, she smiled and answered the call.“Sasha, how are you?” her voice drifted out from the phone.“I’m okay, Sharon and you?” Sasha asked.“I’m good. Are you in your office?”“Yes, why?”“I’m close by; you think we can grab lunch together?”“Definitely.”“Okay, I will wait for you at the restaurant.”“I will be there in five,” she answered and hung up the call. She closed the file she was supposed to be working on but instead was thinking about Michael and the time they spent in Paris. She grabbed her handbag and was out of the office in no time, bumping into Agatha. “Sorry,” she grinned, “what’s up?”Agatha glared at her while rubbing her nose, “I know you want to meet
Michael entered the restaurant where he hoped to see Sasha according to her text message. He scanned the room and saw her sitting and sipping a glass of what appeared to be Robert Mondavi, he smiled and walked up to her. “Excuse me ma’am, can I join you?”She glanced up at him and smiled, “I’m sorry but I’m waiting for someone.”“Is that so, could it be your husband?”“No, just some douche-bag that wants to have lunch with me,” she grinned.Michael placed a hand on his chest, feigning hurt. “I’m sure if you give him time that you will discover that he is not a douche-bag.”“Oh really, you must be a Good Samaritan if you are speaking well of him without even knowing him,” she placed her hand under her chin and stared up at him, a smile playing on her lips.Michael couldn’t help but notice how angelic she looked in her casual white top and blue jeans, her platinum wavy hair was falling down her shoulders like waterfall and he was gripped by the urge to lean down and kiss her, but instea
Michael got ready for his meeting that was starting in the next hour, he quickly grabbed his files and left his room, hoping to catch a quick breakfast with Sasha before he left. He already made orders in the restaurant and he hoped it would be ready by the time they got there. He heaved a sigh and knocked on her door softly, but after waiting for some seconds and there was no answer, he had to knock again, louder this time. Few seconds later, the door was thrown open by a really sleepy Sasha. He chuckled and raised an eyebrow, “late night?”Sasha yawned in a really not lady like manner and she showed that she didn’t give a damn what he thought, “some of us found it hard sleeping even after turning in. I Face timed with the kids and mom can be you know, something else.”Michael smiled, “well, since clearly you still need sleep, I will leave you to it.”“You are living already?”“Not till the next hour.”“I guess I really slept in didn’t I?”“It doesn’t matter, I will let them know to
Time flew by with Sasha and Michael getting closer than they ever thought they would, Sasha couldn’t help but feel that agreeing to start from the very beginning with him was the best decision she had ever made.She drove over to the Brown’s Villa where Vanessa had asked her to meet her. Arriving to the Villa, her children ran out to meet her and she was surprised, they have been staying with her mother for the past week now because she refused to let them leave, so what were they doing there?She kissed both their cheeks and they went inside together where she saw her mom and Vanessa laughing really hard at something. “Wow, that’s a sight you don’t see every day,” she smiled, walking up to them.“Sasha dear,” Vanessa smiled, “you are here.”The kids left her hands to go continue with their play. She kissed her mother on the cheek, “hi mom,” and then she kissed Vanessa as well, “hi mom.”“Aren’t you a sight for sore eyes dear,” Angelica said.“Oh, why wouldn’t she be, when I don’t kno
Sasha opened the door to the man standing outside dressed in a black blazer and white polo underneath and blank pants. He looked so different from the always in suit businessman she has come to know and she couldn’t not notice how handsome he looked.Michael was struck by the beauty of the lady in white in front of him; the gown she was wearing was among the recent things he bought for her during the time he got something for the kids. Never in his life had he imagined that she would wear anything from there anytime soon. Her hair was up in a high ponytail with few tendrils dropping at her cheeks, she smiled at his perusal, slowly biting her lower lip. “Wow,” was all he could say.“Wow what?” Sasha asked, feeling all giddy inside. This wasn’t the first time Michael was taking her out to eat but it was the first time he was picking her up to go on a date. She had sent the kids and Hannah to her mother’s place because she has been complaining that they don’t spend time with her enough t
Sasha parked in front of Friendly Zero, the new club that Janet insisted that they must attend as she has always wanted to check it out but didn’t want to go alone. She pulled down the visor and checked herself one more time on the mirror and pushed it back up. Then grabbing her clutch and phone, she killed the engine and climbed out of the car.She was the first to arrive among her friends and she loved that, for once she would be the one complaining of them keeping her waiting. It wasn’t long, she saw Janet pulling in and she grinned at her. Janet laughed seeing that and immediately after parking, she got down and went to her. “What is the matter Sash, why are you here already?”“Do you know how long I have been waiting?” she pretended to be angry.Janet laughed, “good for you, at least for once, you will be the one waiting.”Sasha grinned and glanced at the club door where two bouncers were attending to the long queue, “are you really sure we can get in there?”“Of course, why can’
