"Boys, go play upstairs," Nella said to Nathan and Zack, who had been running around between both women's legs.

The boys scurried carefully up the stairs and, as their giggles faded, Nella turned to Maren, hoping to finally have some time to talk to her.

They both strolled out the door and onto the compound, which was decorated by short hedges which formed a circle around a horse statue which stood in the middle.

“Nice house," Nella complemented, looking around though she knew hers could top it. "I honestly can't believe Alexander consented to our being here. I always thought he was some kind of possessive monster,” she said jokingly.

“Well, then there's not much difference between us. I also thought the same honestly,” she said and paused as they got to the end of the path which they were following.

"But then, Alexander's suddenly changed. He now cares more and doesn't really bug me if I don't meet the monthly deadline. It's strange but I think I love i

    “I'm going for a DNA test, mom," Maren said, running her fingers around the tips of the glass of wine in front of her. "That seems like the only thing to do right now though” “I'm scared mom" “Why?" her mom asked, as she divided an apple with the golden table knife in her hand. “I mean, I really have no memory of having sex with anyone aside from William. And Irene sounded so serious. I don't think she was lying, Mom." "Well, only a test would prove that at this point.” She lifted a saucer of apples, which were already sliced into chunks, to Maren. “Apple?" Maren looked at the apples and then at her mom. She just told her she was scared that Nathan's mom was a whore and all she could do was offer her apples? She loved her mom, but sometimes her confused emotions in critical times were just annoying. She was the same way when her husband, Maren's dad, died. Mrs Sharppe was indifferent for the first few days after he died. But later on, the grief picked up and began to mourn

    Maren was seated on her office chair staring straight at an envelope which stood innocently on her table. When her secretary had brought it in together with other files she had asked for, she really wasn't expecting it to be amongst them. She had put every other thing aside and kept the envelope in the middle of the table and was just staring at it without bothering to break the seal. “god! I acne as soon as you dropped the call,” her mom said as she practically strolled through the door while looking around. "Wow! I haven't been here since your father died. You've really given the place a shine.” “It doesn't still have that sick smell of old documents and work, though.” She added and finally turned to Maren, who had ignored whatever she had said. She walked towards the table and drew out the seat. “What’s the matter?" She asked. “It's arrived," Maren replied and held her own face in her hands. “You haven't opened it yet?" Her mom asked and snatched the envelope from the tab

    He turned her over and, balancing her legs around his waist, he slid into her again, locking lips with her to suppress her moans. “Fuck!" She managed to breathe in pleasure. The slapping sounds grew faster, and she dug her perfectly manicured fingers into his back. Then he pulled out, releasing his semen to the ground, then he tossed her onto the already ruffled bed and stared at her. Lustful smiles spread across their faces as they looked at themselves. He got on top of her and took her breast in his mouth, caressing her nipple with his tongue while his hand squeezed the other breast. Then he slid down, and she released a gasp as she felt his tongue inside her. Her body shook at the third orgasm. “You are way better than your friend," he said as he exchanged his lips with his fingers, thrusting deep inside her as he looked into her eyes, his manhood erect beneath him. “How many times are you going to remind me?” she replied, a disgusting grin playing on her lips. Maren

    "Oh my god, I'm so sorry. I must have drifted away,” Maren apologised, snapping back to reality. "I don't care, lady. Get your car out of the road,” the man outside her car queried in a husky voice. Maren shuddered at the memory; the smile on Irene's face plastered in her mind like an awful song as she committed that atrocity with her ex fiance. She pulled up in the parking lot of the premises and got out of the car. She looked up at the building she stood in front of. It read ‘Sovereign Nexus’. Taking a deep breath, she walked in, making her way to the elevator, which always took her to the CEO’s office. If her calculations were correct, she'd been there four times this week but hadn't met the CEO available. She prayed a silent prayer that she would meet him as the elevator opened at the topmost floor. Walking down the hallway, she surprisingly found the door open. She sighed in relief as she knocked twice and peeped into the massive office. “You know, those people are t

    “What's on my schedule for today?” "Well, you asked to see the CEO of the pivot point about your meeting with him last week and that was scheduled for this morning," she said, going through a clipboard. "Then, Mr Gustavo…" “Wait, is that the man that came to me about that car or something?" "Yes, he…” "Tell him to go to his insurance company or write him a check. Just get him away from me,” Maren said in frustration, and Louise scribbled something on the clipboard. As they were about to enter the hallway, an elderly woman suddenly emerged, holding a laundry basket. “Good morning, Mom.” her smile was broad. Her mom just gave her a playful scowl. Maren ignored it. “Where's Nathan?" "You'd have known if you agreed to attend to him today." "Oh come on mom, you know I'm always busy.” She whined and wrapped her hands around her mom tightly from behind. "Alexander doesn't give me any break and you know that" “I think I'll need to have a word with him then." Maren scoffed and

    "I don't like this idea one bit, Maren,” Mrs Sharppe said, picking at her food that night at the dining table. “Come on now, Mom. I also don't like it but I need this, please." "What if it doesn't work out? What if he harms you in between the union? Giving you full ownership of the company isn't enough reason for you to sacrifice your happiness, Maren” her brows were furrowed; heavy with worry. “I know, mum,” Maren whined. "He's not given me any choice, anyway. I need that man off my neck, Mom” she paused and looked at her Mom whose eyes were fixed on the plate of grits in front of her. “You were the one who told me he's been hitting on you for a long time and now you want to jump at such an offer?”Her voice was calm, but angry. “You're getting too ambitious, Maren. Just like your father” Maren's brows creased. “I'm nothing like Dad. He was thoughtless and too ahead of himself. I'm only getting married to Alexander to…” “Mummy, am I going to have a daddy?" Both Ma

    Maren sat in front of the dressing mirror, staring at her reflection. She couldn't believe that she could still be in this position after what Williams did to her three years ago. The makeup artist had just finished on her face and left Maren in the room, admiring herself. She really was proud of what she had achieved in those three years. The best being Nathan. “You really drained my beauty when you dropped out of me, Maren,” her mom said, walking into the room. “We both know that's a lie, mom, I look more like grandma and you know it” her mom chuckled and walked further into the room. She placed her hands on her shoulders while looking at the mirror. “You're from a pretty generation then, my dear,” she said, and Maren smiled. Then silence engulfed the room as each person struggled with their thoughts. “Are you sure you want this?" “I'm scared, mum," Maren said quietly. “But it's for the best, right?" Her mom kissed her brown hair, then smoothed it with her hand. “Whate

    Alexander tried so hard to focus on the wedding and not think of his brother, who had just threatened him in his own house. He stood at the altar, forcing himself to smile as he caught sight of his father sitting at the forefront of guests, an observing expression on his face. The pianist increased the tempo of the tune as all eyes turned to Maren, who was walking down the aisle accompanied by one of Alexander's uncles. In almost no time, Maren was standing at the altar, flashing the realest smile she could form as she stared at Alexander. ‘What if it's not worth it, Maren? What if mom was right?’ her mind raced as soon as the priest began making them recite their vows. “I do," she replied, and her voice echoed in her head. Everywhere went silent as Maren stared straight at Alexander, waiting for the next action. Suddenly, there were amusing cheers from the crowd, and Maren was forced to turn towards the cheer. Right there, walking down the aisle, was Nathan, walking ste

    “Alex!” “How are you doing, little man?" Alexander asked, returning the tight hug which Nathan threw to him. “Hey look at me," he urged and Nathan obeyed, breaking the hug. “You missed me, didn't you?" Nathan stared at the ceiling and clasped his hands behind his back as if not wanting to say what was on his mind. “Nooo,” he said quietly, with a goofy smile on his lips. “Now that there is a lie. You're going to tell me you didn't miss big ol’ Alex?” Alexander asked with a pretend frown on his face. “Mmm," Nathan replied, nodding. “Nah, I don't believe that" he said and grabbed Nathan by the waist and buried his head in his stomach as he blew on it, making Nathan laugh out loud while he struggled to pull Alexander's head away from him. “Should I go on?” He asked as he stopped when he noticed Nathan was almost choking from the laughter. “No, go away from me," Nathan said, still giggling. "Oh yeah? How about I just...” "No, stop it Alex,” he said as his tiny fingers s

    “What the fuck did you tell Maren?" “What the fuck are you doing in my house?" Irene asked absentmindedly as she put a pot of water on the gas and turned it on. “I demand you tell me what you told Maren, that she refused to speak with anyone.” Irene turned away from him and turned off the faucet to wash some vegetables. He waited patiently, watching her back as she worked. She finally turned to him and placed the bowl on the counter. She raised her eyes to meet his face. “What don't you go ask the bitch herself” she spat and pulled out a knife. “Like I said, she's refused to speak with anyone, plus I want to hear it from the horse's mouth." Alexander sat behind the counter and watched Irene's knife slice the veggies slowly. From where he sat, he observed that her actions were slowed and her face confirmed that she wasn’t okay, with reddened eyelids and bags beneath them. She was quiet, which was so unusual for her and she wasn't scared one bit when she found him in

    “You've been quiet ever since you got back from William's burial. What is the problem?” Maren didn't respond. She just sat at the table on her room's balcony, her eyes glued to the screen of her laptop. “What the hell happened that day Maren, talk to me," her mom persuaded, settling into the chair opposite her, placing a cup of tea in front of her. “You turned off your phone after that day and even Alexander hasn't been able to reach you." Maren reached for the cup and lifted it to her lips, making sure to not lock eyes with her mom. She took a sip of the tea and placed the cup in front of her mom, meaning she wasn't interested. Her mom narrowed her eyes at her. “At least if you wouldn't speak, listen to me." Maren still wasn't moved and one could tell that her attention wasn't entirely on what she was doing. “Well, Micheal, the detective was here yesterday while you were busy wallowing in your mind" her mom went on, anyway. "He could get a hold of

    "William was sterile, alright?" “What?" “You heard me right, Maren," Irene replied, gritting her teeth. “And you would have known if you had listened to him, gave him a chance to speak” "Stop it Irene, you're messing with me” “Of course, this is the best time for jokes," Irene said sarcastically. "You can't be serious, Irene,” she said almost in a whisper as her voice was beginning to fade from the tears which choked her. Goosebumps traced their way to her brain, and the atmosphere suddenly became cold. “He said you were always telling him how you wanted a child before the wedding and you always seemed so happy talking about it that he never had the heart to tell you he could not fulfil that one wish of yours” "No!” she muttered and staggered back a little, holding herself from doubling over as a tear dropped from her eyes. By this time, everyone around noticed something was wrong, but they didn't seem like they'd come any closer to confirm. Irene didn't care, she continu

    “Well, hi" the newcomer said in a low voice as she sat. Maren raised her head at the sound of the voice and turned to look beside her. “I was thinking you wouldn't come." “You really have the guts to show up here, don't you, Irene? Maren spat but quietly, to avoid attracting attention to herself while keeping her eyes forward and focused on the priest who had begun to speak. He held a shiny Bible and began to speak in a gentle, yet authoritative and audible tone. "Dear friends and family, we gather today to bid farewell to a remarkable individual, William Sinclair. A man of great vision, entrepreneurial spirit, and of course, a man of great leadership…” Maren almost scoffed, but kept it inside of her. As much as she felt sad that he was gone, being beside Irene only reminded her of everything both of them had done and it made some kind of hate grow inside of her again. “Why did you decide to come, you fake ass bitch?" Irene whispered. "At least I didn't go into hiding

    "Are you okay, Maren?” Nella asked as she slipped into one of the facial chairs beside Maren. She put down her bag somewhere beside her and almost immediately, a lady came to attend to her. “I'm good, I mean, why wouldn't I?” Maren asked, without looking at her as her face was covered in a facial mask, but she knew it was Nella who had just spoken. "So you're holding up fine?” "Really, Nell?” "I'm just asking. I mean, he was your ex fiance after all and the father of your child,” she said defensively. “I like the fact that you said the word ‘ex fiance’. I don't care if he's the father of my child, I get to choose who'll father my child.” “Ooh, spicy" Nella said, as her legs were placed in a footbath, the mouth she was referring to Maren. “I really don't care what happened to him," Maren added. “Be honest, Maren, you still had feelings for him," Nella said, but Maren remained quiet, so she went on. “If really didn't care about him, you wouldn't have given him a chance
