Darian WoodsIt's been over a week now since I kissed Moriah, yet I couldn't get her out of my mind.I had tried convincing myself that it was just my flaws domineering for a second, but the truth still found its way to the surface. There was just no way I could lie to myself any longer. I had kissed her, and it was no mistake.I had done it in my right senses, and there was nothing I could say or do to deny that reality.I reached for my phone and tried putting a call directly to Moriah's office, but it failed. I breathed a sigh of both relief and anger. Relief that she hadn't answered, and anger that she had the audacity not to answer my call. It was the mixture of both, and it was making me uneasy. I wanted to talk to her, torture her and have her go through the hell I was going through mentally at the moment.I understood that I was the one at fault and had to take responsibility for kissing her, but she too had a hand in this my mental torture.She had kissed me back, and now I c
With the light rays that peeked into the room from the tiny openings that the curtains held, I flapped my eyelids open.Before now, waking up for work was not this hectic and disturbing. But for some reasons which I partly felt were related to the fact that Darian was now around me, it was a whole lot of effort.My hands went apart as I released a yawn before finally taking the duvet off me. Whether I liked it or not, going to work was something I could not run from as I still had Adrian to take care of and I needed him to get the best of everything he desired.I stretched out my arms to the table that was beside my bed and picked it up to check the time. Turning it on, I was partly excited that I still had 45 minutes extra to do every thing that I wanted to do. But still sad that the 45 minutes was going to come to an end faster than sipping a juice from a can. Time just went so fast whenever I intended and desired to spend time with my sweetheart, Adrian.Talking about Adrian, I rem
Darian WoodsThe different emotions that Moriah always made me experience came again. And as much as I did not want to experience any of it, I still wanted her around."Why are you shivering like you have just come to face with a ghost?"Instead of responding to my question, she straightened her face immediately. She was trying to do the same thing that she had been doing of recent. Acting like my presence did nothing to her, and as though she was tough but I knew that none of it was true."Mr. Gun asked that I move to your office building on your request. So may I please know why exactly I am here."I furrowed my brows listening to Moriah speak. Of a truth, she was actually growing wings which constantly left me astonished."When in the world did she learn to do that?" I could only ask myself.I sniffled in the chuckle that was threatening to escape from my lips as I stood up to meet her."It seems you forget so fast that I am your boss. Now let me remind you," I paused, then stared
"Get out of here, Moriah!" Darian detached himself from me and I suddenly felt cold and empty. I wonder what went wrong as I watched him leave the bed and grab his clothes, putting them on.I sighed in relief but a bigger part of me was disappointed that he stopped.He had a big frown on his face as he pulled away from me. I never can tell what's running through his mind. He never lets me in even when we were together. He never even saw me fit to be called his wife while we were married. I was simply a burden to him asides when he wanted to sexually appease himself."Darian…" I called calmly, barely hearing my own voice. In as much as I felt violated by the way he forced himself on me without my concession, my body wanted him. I craved his touch and not just his touch but all of him. His touch ignited a fire within me that only he alone could stop.Despite the fact that I loved the feeling of his hands on my body, I hated him for forcing himself on me and also hated the fact that his
My stomach grumbled, reminding me that I needed to eat."Hold on a little bit, I just need to document all these files completely and reply these emails," I rubbed my belly, trying to pacify it.I've been typing for hours and I still have a lot of files to work on. I felt like Darian wass just out to punish me. He dumped loads of files on my table the moment I returned back from the bathroom and demanded I complete them before leaving the office. He also requested that I send replies to some emails and forward some documents to him.He didn't even bother asking me how I felt after making me shed tears in the morning, neither did he apologize for hurting me. I hated him but I wasn't going to let him get in the way of my job. He simply dumped the documents on my table and walked out leaving me to finish them all on my own.My fingers ached and were protesting to be given some rest. My butts also felt sore from sitting down on one spot for too long. As if that wasn't enough, I had a th
Darian Woods"Take me to the nearest club," I ordered the driver the moment I got in and he immediately sped off.It was almost 10pm and I was stressed out. Moriah staying back in the office with me kept me sane.I made her stay in the office with me until 9:30pm before letting her go. She was angry, frustrated and close to lashing out at me but she didn't. She just glared at me when she thought I wasn't watching.Seeing her angry and pissed off was fun, it made my work way more easier and fun for me.She eventually slept off after glaring at me for hours and not getting a reaction out of me. She looked beautiful even in her sleep. She was so tired and stressed out that she began to drool and snore. I eventually had to wake her up and release her.I smiled remembering her angry face when I asked her to stay behind and eat lunch in the office with me. A part of me wanted her to oppose me but unfortunately she didn't and it annoyed me.It was quite obvious on her face that she was angry
Darian WoodsI was having a terrific headache all thanks to my excessive drinking and could only close my eyes in pain trying to cope with the headache as Nelson, my driver drove me to Jack's home."We are here Mr. Woods," Nelson said, waking me up from my half conscious state.I opened my eyes groggily and sat up straight. I winced in pain at the painful headache that hit me."Are you ok Mr. Woods?" Nelson asked, his voice laced with worry."It's ok, I'm fine," I waved him off.Damn that fucking drink. I'll be waking up to a terrible hangover tomorrow. I shouldn't have drowned the entire drink in my system knowing I have to go to work tomorrow."Do you want me to wait for you and take you home?" Nelson asked and I groaned in pain; the intensity of his voice was causing me more headache."No don't bother, just go home with the car. I'll be staying here overnight. I don't think I am in a right state to go home this night." I waved him off and he nodded."Just make sure that you're here
The blaring noise from the alarm woke me up and as much as I wanted to sleep a little more, I had to get up to dress Adrian up for school and get ready for work. I stretched my hands out and stopped the alarm. I sighed in relief, loving the silence again. I decided to sleep for just a minute before getting up. A minute wouldn't hurt anybody. "Mummy, wakeup!" Adrian barged into my room yelling and I groaned in frustration. "One minute baby," I mumbled, my eyes closed and he kept quiet. Exactly after a minute, he jumped on my bed shaking me. "It's one minute mom, I counted up to sixty. It's time to wake up." I reluctantly opened my eyes to meet with the beautiful eyes of my son, staring right back at me. He had the same eyes as Darian. His eyes were as blue as an ocean and I tend to drown in them whenever I stared too much. "Morning baby," I pinched his cheeks and he giggled. "Morning mommy," he kissed me on the cheeks and I smiled. Adrian was my joy and my reason for living. W
My heart kept hammering against my chest and it felt like though it would burst out any second. I glanced at Darian, then Jack and heard them talking about the company and how to improve the company's product. The way Darian sat down relaxed and talked with so much authority made him look so hot and I wanted nothing more but to be in his arms all day.My eyes widened in surprise at the nature of my thoughts and I immediately looked away.What the hell was wrong with me?I should be thinking about how to stay far away from him and not how I wanted to be in his arms all day.Was it possible that he charmed me?"Stop trying to act like you didn't like everything that happened between you guys," my conscience pricked me.No I didn't like it one bit but my traitorous body did like it. If only my body would cooperate with me, there was no way he'd have that much effects on me.I nodded my head, certain of the fact that I didn't like him one bit. Only my body did.I took another glance at t
I couldn't help but wonder what I did to Karla to get such treatments from her. She had never acted rude the way she did today. She looked really mad at me as though we had been having problems before. I felt a little tempted to draw her back and ask her what the problem was. But I decided against it and thought to let her walk away instead.I stepped into the company building relaxed, aside from the worry about what Darian might do to me for leaving without his permission. Although I was worried, all that mattered was that Adrian was okay and he was in good hands. I found it hard to believe that Karla was the one talking to me that way. What if someone was impersonating her to make us at loggerheads with each other.Crazy thoughts. I scoffed. Once I entered, I saw him. Darian. He was lost in thoughts and I doubt he was aware that someone came in. His soft lips morphed into a frown and he had his hands on his jaw. He was deeply in thought.I wondered what he was thinking about tha
"How is my son? Where is he?" I asked hysterically the moment I saw Ms. Juliette.I literally ran into the hospital the moment I alighted from the cab."Calm down Ms Moriah, the doctor is taking a look at him," Ms Juliette held my hand trying to calm me down."Don't tell me to calm down Juliette, I don't know how my son is doing and until I know how he is doing I won't calm down," I glowered angrily and she just backed away."What happened? How come he is suddenly sick? He wasn't sick when we left the house," I cast an accusatory glare at Ms Juliette. I had a feeling they had something to do with his sudden illness."We didn't do anything to him Ms Moriah. Please, try to understand and relax so the doctor will do his thing. Your son will be fine, it is the same thing that I want.""How am I to believe that," I huffed."You can ask his classmates. Adrian was truly quite alright when you brought him to school and was even very active. He just suddenly became dull and soon he was complai
Hello readers, firstly I appreciate the efforts that you have made in following this book even with how long it has been delayed and my many errors. Thank you so much, and I love all you do. Without your continuous support, I really can't do it. Also, I'm writing to ask and plead that as you have been patient with my slow updates so far, I will really appreciate it if you can give me an extra three weeks to a month grace of absence in this particular book, and I promise to come back with constant updates. Thank you so much!
Darian WoodsI watched in both surprise and shock as Moriah rushed out without my permission, shutting the door loudly behind her. She really did have a child just like Jack speculated. I didn't believe Jack, when he said it but she confirmed it herself right in my presence.She looked so worried and she even had traces of tears in her eyes. I've never seen her this worried for anyone before, not even for me. She was disorganized and didn't even know what she was doing. All that was on her mind was her child and it made me jealous and a little pissed.Her eyebrows were drawn together in worry and her face was wrinkled. She was also tapping her feet anxiously as she asked me for permission to leave.Is she married? I asked myself. But when I went through her records her marital status was tagged single not married.Did she have a child out of wedlock?Did she remarry?Or did she go for a test tube baby?I was curious and jealous at the same time.Jealous because of the possible probabi
Fear gripped me as I stared at the number, but this time, I did not take the call.I went around the house in my pajamas ensuring that everywhere was securely locked.I couldn't risk leaving any entrance open as I was suddenly scared of what I had no idea about.Falling to the bed, I sighed tiredly in relief. Another day with Darian completed and I was still alive.Staring up at the ceiling, I reminisced about my younger days. I was always hopeful that I'll end up with a loving man that will treat me like a princess and make me feel special.It was every young girl's dream them to end up with a man that will treat them like Cinderella. Blame it on too much fantasy.I was one of those girls. There were so many things I wanted to try out with the man I would get married to. So many trips I wanted to make with him. So many memories I wanted to create and one day look back on and smile.Unfortunately life had other plans for me and gave me Darian. Aside from his handsome face, he was the o
"Moriah, can you bring the sausage for Adrian on your way back?" Jane yelled from the dining room."Alright," I yelled back. I washed my hands and dried it with the kitchen towel before searching for the sausage Jane asked for.I looked around and eventually found the sausage on the table. I didn't notice it before since it was wrapped in foil paper."There you are," I grabbed it and left the kitchen for the dining."It sure took you hours," Jane rolled her eyes and I ignored her. Taking Adrian's plate, I dished out his meal for him."Mommy hates searching for things and can be very lazy," Adrian giggled and I huffed."I'm not that lazy, the sausage just didn't want me to find it," I defended myself and took a seat opposite Adrian who sat beside Jane."Yes, obviously," Jane said sarcastically and I moued. I felt tempted to throw my shoe at her but I couldn't due to Adrian's presence."Quit grimacing at me like that," Jane said and I scoffed looking away. I could not believe that even A

Darian WoodsI was having a terrific headache all thanks to my excessive drinking and could only close my eyes in pain trying to cope with the headache as Nelson, my driver drove me to Jack's home."We are here Mr. Woods," Nelson said, waking me up from my half conscious state.I opened my eyes groggily and sat up straight. I winced in pain at the painful headache that hit me."Are you ok Mr. Woods?" Nelson asked, his voice laced with worry."It's ok, I'm fine," I waved him off.Damn that fucking drink. I'll be waking up to a terrible hangover tomorrow. I shouldn't have drowned the entire drink in my system knowing I have to go to work tomorrow."Do you want me to wait for you and take you home?"

I don't think I am in a right state to go home this night." I waved him off and he nodded."Just make sure that you're here
