“Mrs Becky” the judge says, “yes your honour” Becky replies, moving slightly closer to the bench. “Permission granted, you may call Miss Alice to the stand” the judge says, her voice authoritative as she speaks.Becky nods, “thank you your honour, Miss Alice please kindly make your way to the stand” she requests, turning to get a view of Alice.Alice rises to her feet, standing still for a second as she attempts to gather her thoughts before walking slowly to the stand as if she’s counting her steps.“Thank you for joining us in a timely manner” Becky says, a hint of sarcasm in her tone, only evident to those familiar with her. Alice nods in response as she nervously chews on her lips waiting for the questioning to begin.“You seem anxious Miss Alice, is there a particular reason why you’re nervous?” She asks, an inquisitive look on her face. Alice takes a deep breath before speaking, “I’m just nervous about being in the spotlight” she explains, her words short and straight to the poi

“I’d like to present some evidence to the court your honour” Becky says, walking to her desk before gathering some documents from her desk and making her way to the bench.“May I approach the bench your honour” she asks, a short distance away from the bench. “You may” the judge replies with a nod. “Thank you, your honour” she says, closing the distance before handing the evidence to the judge.“Your honour, the documents I submitted to you, shows the screenshot of the chats between Mr Evans and Miss Alice” she says, sharing the evidence with the rest of the court.My eyes focus on the chats I personally took a picture of and sent to Becky as evidence. I glance up to see the judge carefully reading through the printed screenshots. I return my attention to the document, reading through it once more.Evans: Any progress with our plan?Alice: Chill, I plan on making a move on Clark very soon. Evans: And your boss? You know she’s always watching, right?Alice: I’ll get something to distra

“Order in the court” the judge says, slamming her gavel against the sounding block as she attempts to silence the whispers in the courtroom. Once the room has quieted down, she speaks, “do you have anything to say on behalf of your clients Mr Rick?” She asks, an attempt to keep the case impartial.Rick shakes his head, “none your honour” he replies, accepting defeat as the evidence presented against them is too compelling to be easily dismissed and denied.The judge nods her head, “that’s noted Mr Rick” she says, clearing her throat before continuing. “Based on the court case between Mrs Lara Rique and Miss Alice and Mr Evans. I have taken into account the testimonies given and the evidences presented”“I have also taken into account the severity of the case, the implication of the charges laid against Miss Alice and Miss Evans and the emotional and monetary damage on Mrs Lara Rique”“After careful consideration of these factors I have decided to sentence Mr Evans and Miss Alice to t

Elvis chuckles, his laughter warm and inviting, “Then I assume it’s our pleasure. Thank you, Lara,” he replies, slipping his arm across his wife Becky’s waist, a gesture that speaks volumes about their bond. I can’t help but admire the way they interact, their connection evident in the way they lean into each other, sharing a moment that feels intimate and genuine. “Great, let’s go celebrate!” I exclaim, latching onto Clark’s arm as we navigate through the crowd, eager to take the private exit that will shield us from the prying eyes of the media. The thrill of the evening fills the air, and I can feel the anticipation building as we step outside into the cool night. The stars twinkle above us, a perfect backdrop for the celebration that awaits. As we walk, I glance back at Elvis and Becky, their laughter echoing in the night.

A month goes by and everything returns to normal in Clark and I's lives, not just at our workplace but at home. It feels good to have our home once again to ourselves without any worry about Alice or a court case.My phone rings out loud, the sound filling the room as I grab it from the desk. It shows that the caller is Clark and a smile instantly appears on face. “Why could he be calling?” I mutter to myself as I pick the call.“Hey Babe” I say, dismissing my staff from my office after a just concluded office. “Hey love” he replies, from the sound of his voice I can tell that he has a wide smile on his face and he’s excited about something.“What’s got you excited?” I ask, leaning against the chair, my voice piqued with curiosity as I wait for his response. “How did you know I’m excited?” he chuckles, his rich laugh filling my ears.“Hmmmn, I wonder what could have given it away” I say with mock sarcasm before bursting into laughter. He chuckles, “you and your sarcastic remark, you h

“Please come in,” I say, looking up from my desk. The soft click of the door opening breaks the silence of my office, and Rita walks in, a sheepish look on her face as she makes her way towards me. Her hesitant steps echo slightly on the polished wooden floor, and I can’t help but notice the way her fingers fidget with the hem of her blouse. Ever since the court case, she’s been rather careful with her behavior towards me, mostly because she’s grateful that I didn’t fire her.Rita has always been a bright spark in the office, her laughter infectious and her creativity boundless. But the incident that led to the court case was a significant misstep—one that could have cost her not just her job but also her reputation in this industry. I remember the day vividly, the way the air had crackled with tension as we gathered in the conference room, the weight of the situation pressing down on us. Rita had made a mistake, a grave one, and it had taken every ounce of restraint not to let my fru

I walk into the restaurant, my red dress hugging my body and subtly highlighting my curves. On noticing me, one of the waiters walk towards me, a smile on his face as he approaches me, “Good evening ma’am, how may I serve you today?” He asks.I smile, “good evening” I reply, looking around as I try to find the private room myself. “I’m supposed to meeting my husband for a meal at one of your private rooms, his name is Clark Rique” I say, accepting defeat at my inability to identify one.He nods, pulling out his phone as he scrolls through the list of reservations, “ah, Mr and Mrs Rique, room A1” he says in acknowledgement before looking up at me. “This way ma’am” he says, leading me up the staircase.He pushes the door to the private room open, not stepping inside as he holds the door open for me, “thank you” I say, “are you sure this is the room he booked?” I ask, looking around in suprise at the rooms decoration.The room is filled with a sweet scent of flowers as it is decorated wi

Clark rises to his feet, so that we can hug properly, “thank you, it was long over due” he replies. I nod, “yeah it was, I’m just glad that the work burden on you will slightly reduce” I say, my eyes shining with satisfaction at the news.“Thanks babe” he says, placing a kiss on my cheeks before releasing me from his embrace. “So what’s the second one?” I ask, returning to my seat. He smiles, “the other news is something that’s long overdue. It something that I shoukd have told you from the start of our marriage” he says, his tone serious as he speaks.“Okay, what is it?” I ask, a bit of fear creeping in at what it could me but I maintain a smile as I refuse to let my fear to be evident on my face. “What I want to tell you is the reason why this room is arranged in this manner” he explains and I sigh in relief noting that it could only be something good.“Lara, I know our marriage was that of convenience from the very start. How we went from being enemies to being good friends. It’s f

It was a crisp Saturday morning when Clark and I decided to escape the city for a while. The sun was just starting to rise, casting a golden hue over everything, and I could feel the excitement bubbling inside me. "Are you ready for our adventure?" I asked, glancing over at Clark as he adjusted his backpack. "Absolutely! I've been looking forward to this all week," he replied, a wide grin spreading across his face. His enthusiasm was contagious, and I couldn’t help but smile back. We hopped into the car, the engine humming to life as we set off toward the countryside. As we drove, I watched the scenery change from the bustling streets of Lagos to the serene landscapes outside the city. "Look at that view, Lara!" Clark exclaimed, pointing towards a sprawling field dotted with wildflowers. I turned my head just in time to see a burst of color against the green backdrop. "It's beautiful," I said, feeling a sense of peace wash over me. "We should stop and take some pictures." Clark pu

As we dig into the meal, the aroma of the food fills the air, wrapping around us like a comforting blanket. The table is adorned with a colorful spread—fresh fruits glistening in the sunlight, a platter of scrambled eggs, crispy bacon, and golden-brown toast, all meticulously arranged to create a feast for the senses. I watch as he takes his first bite, his eyes lighting up in delight. “This is incredible,” he exclaims, savoring each mouthful as though it’s the best thing he’s ever tasted. I can’t help but smile at his enthusiasm; it’s moments like these that remind me of the joy of sharing a meal with someone special.We fall into a comfortable rhythm, the clinking of cutlery and the soft sounds of chewing filling the space between us.

I smile, nestling deeper into his embrace, “what’s done is done, there’s nothing we can do about it now. And it’s not like you can fire her after all you went through to hire her” I say, sympathetically.He shakes his head, “right now, I’m thinking very much of firing her. She can’t go scot free with that sort of behaviour”. I smile, “no let it be Clark, I don’t want to leave you without help at the office. As long as this was a one time thing then I’m fine, let’s move on” He smiles, “you’re just too kind but I can see that your mood isn’t totally lifted. I shrug, wearing a tired smile, “I just feel trained after that conversation, why don’t you go ahead and have lunch without me. I’ll eat later” I say.He shakes his head, “no way, you came all the way to my office for us to eat together. So what can I do to lift your mood” he says, a mischievous smile on his face. “Letting me sleep” I chuckle, suddenly feeling very tired.“I’ll let you do that in due time, but please let’s have lun

“Afternoon Miss Denie, you require our assistance” one of them says. She nods, “yes please kindly escort this woman downstairs”. They both turn to face me, their eyes widening in shock, before returning their attention to her, “that’s Mr Clark’s wife, please excuse us” they say, before exiting the room.I watch as Denie remains immobile and speechless as she processes their words. I don’t bother getting up as I patiently wait for Clark’s arrival.In less than a minute, Clark walks into the room, concern evident on his face as he walks directly towards me. “You sounded upset, is everything fine my love?” He asks, crouching down as he takes my hand.I look behind him to see Debie’s eyes widen at her mistake. I shake my head, “not really. I closed work early to come suprise you with some food and drinks” I say, raising up the lunch bag for emphasis.“But I was met with insults and disrespectful t from your assistant. She wouldn’t even let me inside your office. To think she actually cal

I’m met by a woman who seems to be in her late 20’s. She is seated in Lai’s former desk. Her auburn hair drops over her shoulders, and her hazel eyes catch my attention. “Good afternoon” she says, rising to my feet, a surprised look on her face as she slowly assesses me.Feeling uncomfortable with being under her scrutiny, I mumble a quick greeting before walking towards Clark’s office. “I’m sorry you can’t go in there” she says, blocking my path.I look up at her, obviously surprised at her audacity, “excuse me” I say, trying hard to control my emotions. She gives me a smile, which is more of a mocking smile, “I’m sorry but you can’t see Mr Clark right now, you shouldn’t even be up here. I wonder who let you in here” she says, frustratedly running her hands through her hair.I chuckle, slightly moving backwards as she’s right in my face at the moment. I quietly assess her, wondering how to address the situation. I force my lips to form into a smile, “I don’t appreciate the tone that

Clark brushes a strand of hair behind my ear, his touch gentle and reassuring. “We’re in this together, babe. No one can come between us,” he assures me, and I believe him. Our bond is unbreakable, forged through years of shared experiences, laughter, and even tears. I lean into him, feeling safe and secure in his arms.“Remember that time when we first met?” I ask, trying to lighten the mood. Clark grins, his eyes sparkling with nostalgia. “How could I forget? You were so sassy, but you still managed to charm me with that confidence of yours,” he confesses, his voice filled with warmth. “Yeah, I can be quite sassy,” I admit, “but I didn’t know this side to you. You were definitely worth it.” Clark’s smile widens, and I can see the pride in his eyes. “And look where we are now,” he says, pulling me closer. “Married, happy, and in love. It’s a beautiful journey we’re on.”I nod, feeling a swell of gratitude for the life we’ve built together. “I wouldn’t trade it for anything,” I say e

Jordan coughs, obviously uncomfortable with being made the third wheel, “I think you guys would love to be alone, so I’ll just leave and catch up with the others” he says, attempting to rise to his feet.Clark shakes his head, “absolutely not, I honestly don’t mind your presence here. A friend of my wife is mine” he states. Jordan smiles, “thank you, but in all honesty I have some things to discuss with Lai. Please excuse me and it was nice meeting you Clark” he says, before walking away leaving Clark and I to ourselves.“Why were you alone with him?” Clark asks, studying me. I smile, “I wasn’t alone with him, I was basically in the open. I purposely discussed with him, where you could easily see us” I say, chuckling at his jealous display.He smiles, “well I don’t like the fact that he keeps hovering around you. You might not be able to see it but I can definitely tell that he like you” smh r says, drawing me closer to him.“How so?” I ask, my tone evidencing my surprise at his words

“So what have you been up to?” Jordan asks, as we settle down. I shrug, partially intrigued by his sudden interest in my life, “nothing much to be honest. Just the usual, handling my business and enjoying my married life” I say, with a smile as I dwell on my relationship with Clark.Jordan chuckles, “how’s that going? Last time I saw you guys, you were both heavily invested in an argument” he says, slightly leaning forward. I chuckle, “you know how couples are, we fight and we make up. It’s all part of the process of understanding each other and learning to understand each other's triggers and boundaries” I say, my gaze drifting to Clark who’s heavily invested in a conversation before returning my attention to Jordan. “So you guys are good?” He asks, suggestively. I nod, “we are more than good, I’m in love with that man” I say, my smile huge as I set my boundary. “What about you, how’s life going?” I ask, shifting the attention from me.He shrugs, “nothing much, except from the fact

“Heyy Belle” I say, running to give her a hug, almost tripping along the way. “Careful Lara” Clark yells after me. “How are you doing?” I ask, pulling her into a hug, before releasing her as I examine her face.She smiles, “I’m hardly getting sleep with Tululla’s sleeping schedule. But in all honesty everyday feels like a blessing to have my little girl in my arms” she states.I nod, totally understanding what she means, “what about Lai?” I ask, scanning the room for my brother. “He’s over there with your dad and mine,” she says, pointing towards a section of the backyard.“They must be giving him some stupid parent advice” I joke, noticing how serious their conversation is. “Heyy Belle” Clark says, embracing her with a hug, “how are you doing?” He asks, returning to my side.She chuckles, “your wife already asked that. Like I told her, I feel blessed” she says, a wide smile on her face and I can tell that this is the happiest she’s been since I’ve met her. Clark nods, “alright, let
