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 hVanessa 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
Sasha saw the pain in his eyes and heard the hurt in his voice and for the moment, she became speechless. She let out a deep sigh and closed her eyes "Craig is a friend."Michael scoffed cause obviously he didn't believe her "really? And you are here challenging your husband for just a friend?""He is not just a friend."Michael opened his mouth to reply but no words came out, he felt his heart shatter into a thousand pieces. When is she going to defend him? When is she going to put him above all else? To fight for him like she is doing for this Craig now, he looked away from her to hide the hurt in his eyes "do you have feelings for him?" He asked in a whisper.Sasha thought on her words earlier and cursed, she let out a deep breath "he is only a friend.""Really? But you just said he is not just a friend!" He stated "do you have feelings for him?" He repeated."I do not have any feelings for Craig, I am only defending him because what you are doing is wrong. What
Craig was in his home lost in thoughts. He kept on thinking on how to get Sasha to talk to her husband or to make her appease her husband so that he can lift his seal on him. He can't believe that just a simple sentence from Michael kept him in this situation. He needs to go back to London, they are a lot of things going on in his company that needs his attention but he can't go back now, not without signing the contract. How is he going to face his staff? What example will he have for them? How serious are they going to take any contract he send them on? After all, he spent three months in LA without signing a single contract. He let out a loud groan and the ringtone of his phone disrupted his thoughts.He looked at the screen and not recognising the number, he furrowed his brows before picking up the phone and sliding the answer button "Craig Newton here.""Mr. Newton, we are glad we can still reach you. I am Marcus Herr, the director of DelaCorp, I'm calling to let you know
