Michael wheeled himself to his mini bar, he poured himself a bottle of red wine, he took a sip and stared at his legs, he knew his action is not helping him, Dr. Cage told him he has to use his crutches regularly so that he legs would master carrying his weight again but here he was, back in his wheelchair all because he wants to keep the woman he loves close to him and if sitting in a wheelchair is going to make her stay by his side, then he don't mind sitting in a wheelchair.
He heaved a deep sigh as he took a sip from his glass, he stared at the staircase and his mind ran to the woman in the bathroom. When was the last time a woman bathed in his bathroom? She was the first woman to bathe in his bathroom and she is going to be the only one. He sat in his wheelchair and took little sips from his glass, he didn't even know long has passed until Gary walked in.Gary approached him and sighed as he saw that his boss was drinking and knew that he and his mistress might have had aMichael sat in his wheelchair in the living room, his eyes constantly looking at the time. It was already 10:25 and Sasha was not yet back. He was getting worried and to make it worse, he don't even know where she is, not that he can't find out if he wants to but that he doesn't want to. No more stalking her, he won't to try to not know ahead of time anymore, he will only know where she is if she tells him and will only have people look for her if he feels something is wrong. He looked at the dinning table at the already cold food and sighed.Gary had brought the dinner almost four hours ago but he refused to eat, he was prepared to wait for her and will only eat when he was sure she has eaten.Gary walked up to him again "boss, don't you think you should eat? Even if it's a bite, it has already passed the time for your medicine.""No, I will wait for her."Gary sighed as he heard the reply he has gotten for the tenth time he had asked him to eat "but mistress looks like
Sasha opened her eyes cause of the sunlight on her face, the light blinded her eyes and she blinked for some moment to regain her vision only to see a man sitting near the window, she creased her brows and wondered when was the last time she woke up to see a man in her room "good morning" she heard this deep magnetic voice and her heart fluttered, did she just received a morning greeting? She peered at the man sitting and her heart palpitated, ever since she had married him, apart from the morning after the night with endless pleasure, she has never woken up to see him in the room. He would either be in the shower or be gone already, so why is he still here?"You are not the morning type" he chuckled "I have always known that actually but never knew you wakes so late" he wheeled himself closer to the bed only for her to see he was already dressed for work, she looked at his face to see him biting his lower lips nervously? She wondered why that is possible."Why are you still h
Vanessa stared at her son after the room was quiet "so, if she is not the one you have been madly in love with, who is she? Who is the girl that you find so hard to let go?" She asked the question she has been meaning to ask for a long time.Michael looked at her silently, he wanted to speak but he doesn't know what to say, he opened his mouth but no sound came out, he licked his lips and sighed "mom..." He sighed again.Vanessa knew he was finding it difficult to speak and decided to make it a little easy for him "where is she?""She is married.""Oh" she nodded "happily married?"Michael shook his head slowly "not really. Her husband has been bad to her."Vanessa looked at him "and?""She left but he went after her, asking her to forgive him and take him back.""Did she?"Michael was silent, he looked to be in thought "I don't know. But there are living together now, I don't know if she will forgive him or not.""And your heart hurts that her husband
Michael got home at few minutes to seven, he wasn't surprise to find out that Sasha was not yet back. He went to their bedroom to prepare for the dinner and came downstairs to wait for her.At exactly 7:55 pm, Sasha's car pulled over in the garage, she got down and stretched herself, she yawned and walked to the front yard only to see Gary beside the car "welcome mistress, you have five minutes to prepare for the dinner" he reminded her.Sasha acted nonchalant "said I'm not going, didn't he tell you that?""Miss Sasha, your father in law will be present. I understand you are angry with the boss, but don't dwindle his father's impression of you. It will really affect you if eventually your marriage happens to work out. You can do whatever you want to the boss but when it comes to his parents, you need to let go of your anger and give them their respect."Sasha sighed "he didn't respect my own parents.""There are a lot of things the boss did that I'm also not proud of
'You look beautiful' the words slammed into Sasha's heart and she looked at him sharply. What did she just hear? Did Michael just compliment her? No, it's not possible. She must have heard wrong, she thought as her gaze lingered on him, waiting to know if he will look at her but he didn't 'ah, that's what I thought' she laughed mockingly at herself for letting her heart go astray.Michael couldn't stop the words from escaping his lips, he couldn't believe he had thought out loud. Out of the corner of his eyes he looked at Sasha, he could feel her gaze on him but he couldn't get himself to look at her, not only because he was afraid of her reaction but that he was blushing. In all the years of giving his heart to her, this is the first time he had let her hear a little of his thoughts about her. This was the first time he had complimented her, the first time he had said such words to another woman apart from his mother and his late grandmother.He wanted to look at Sasha, to re
The next day, Sasha was in her office thinking about Michael's attitude the previous night in his parents' home. How his gaze never left her and she found herself wondering again if it could be that he was falling in love with her? Her heart shuddered yet again at the thought. How happy will she be if that was to be possible? A sweet smile curved on her lips and she couldn't help but imagine herself in his arms, how sweet will that be if it becomes a possibility?The sound of a knock on her door brought her back to present "come in" she cleared her throat.The door opened and Janet peeked in before smiling at her and getting into the office, shutting the door after her "hey baby. How are you?"Sasha relaxed back in her chair and smiled tiredly "I'm okay, I guess.""So, how is life back in the devil's home?"Sasha smiled at her term of addressing Michael "honestly I think our roles have been reversed. I think now I'm the version of Michael and he is me.""I don't un
Sasha got back to her office not long ago after having lunch with Gary. She was just about to get into working mode when her phone rang, she looked at the caller ID and was surprised, she slide the answer button "done with the meeting already?"Craig chuckled on the other side "if you call it a meeting.""I don't understand.""Guess who I met today.""Who?" Sasha's asked with a playful smile on her lips."Try honey.""I'm not good at guessing Craig, so just tell me.""Your loving husband."The pen in Sasha's hand dropped on the floor "Michael?""Yes. When I heard Mr. Brown during the time I met the investors, he came to my mind but I told myself he is not the only Brown in the world and besides the way the other investors respects the man, if it will be your family's in law Brown then it will be your father in law. It never occurred to me that he is the one that was receiving such respect and fear from the men. Honestly today, I saw your husband in action.
Eight days later, Sasha tossed into the dustbin in her office her fifteenth draft plan. She heaved a frustrated sigh. Just want in the world is wrong with her? Why can't she draft out a reasonable plan? Three days ago, the Jack and Jones Empire announced the five companies they are working with and in all, hers was the smallest. She needs a good proposal, something that will bring profit. She wants to prove herself. She doesn't want to hide under the shadow of Michael. The press are already speculating the idea that she was chosen because she is Michael Brown's wife and since the Jack and Jones have been in close business with him, they are just giving him face by choosing his wife.She wants to prove them wrong. She believes Michael gave her this contract because he believes in her and she is going to show her potential to everyone and even though she doesn't want to believe it, she really wants to make Michael proud.Her phone's ringtone disrupted her thoughts and she picked
