“What is going on here?” Clark asks, “Why are you here with him?” He asks, clearly upset. I can tell from his tone that he's not letting out half of his anger towards me.“Oh hi Clark” I say, standing to my feet, “this is Jordan, a friend of mine” I say, introducing them. “Nice to meet you” Jordan says, extending his hands.“That doesn’t answer my question” Clark says, ignoring Jordan’s hands. “It wasn’t planned. I heard someone crying and I came to check it out. Coincidentally it turned out to be Lara, I’ll give you both some space to talk” he says.“Bye Lara” he says, walking away, “bye, thanks for this evening” I say, before returning my attention to Clark. “You’re angry” I say, watching him closely, “what makes you think that” he replies, folding his arms across his chest.I wince, “your tone and body language show that your are angry even though you’re trying so hard not to show it” I reply, sitting on the bench. “And do I have a good reason to be?” He asks, calmly watching me.I

A month has passed by and things have been really peaceful between Clark and I. We have fallen into a routine and quickly adapted to each other without peering too much into each other's life but still ensuring that we show care for each other.It's Friday and it’s Lai’s birthday. We are celebrating at the LaiLa Hotel named after Lai and I which was recently built by my parents. My parents have decided to expand their business by going beyond the online gaming industry and diving into the hotel management business.This development led to Lai handing in his resignation letter due to my parents' pressure. As the only son, my traditional parents believe that it’s time for him to run the company that will be handed over to him, which is why I’m glad I started my business long ago.Thankfully Lai won’t be leaving immediately as he has given Clark a two months resignation notice, giving Clark sufficient time to hire a new personal assistant depending on how finicky he is.I head down to Cl

“Happy birthday Lai” I say, embracing my brother in a hug before placing a kiss on his cheek. “This is for you” I say, handing him his gift. “Thank you Lara” he says, smiling.“Happy birthday bro” Clark says, pulling Lai into a hug. “Many more years of celebration” he says, before releasing him from his grasp. “This is a nice way to celebrate your birthday” Clark states, looking around the hotel.Lai chuckles, “yeah mom wanted us to celebrate here before the grand opening of the hotel”. I shake my head, “well how great it must be to be the favourite child” I joke.Lai rolls his eyes, “it’s a wonderful experience” he retorts, laughing. “Where is Belle?” I ask, looking around the room.“She’s making arrangements in the dining room where the party will be holding” he says, with a smile. “And here I thought we will be celebrating in the entire hotel” I joke walking towards the dining room as I leave Clark and Lai behind.“Hey sister” Belle says, running over to me. “Hi Belle” I say, pulli

After the appetiser, Belle gives me a look signifying that it’s time to unleash the drama. I subtly nod, informing her that I’m ready as I wait for her to take the first move as that will be the basis on what we argue about.Once the main course is served, Belle moves to pour cheese on my pasta without informing me, “what’s your problem, I never asked for cheese” I say, feigning an irritated tone, the drama swinging into full speed.Mom gives me a look clearly surprised at my behaviour but she doesn’t say a word, “is everything fine?” Clark asks. “Yeah” I smile, “why do you ask?” I say, switching Belle and I’s food, “since you love cheese so much why don’t you have mine” I say rudely to her before returning my attention to Clark who looks extremely concerned about my behaviour.“I was just trying to help” Belle scoffs, I roll my eyes, “maybe you should keep your help for someone who actually asked” I reply. “Whatever” she replies, pouring extra cheese on the plate in front of me, “w

“So what’s the plan for today?” Clark asks, drying his hair as he simultaneously goes through the emails on his phone. “Give me a minute” I reply, scrolling through my phone to acquire the plan for today.“Okay, so in thirty minutes we are supposed to join the family at the poolside. Today is supposed to be a lazy day, so we’ll be spending the entire day at the pool”“At 8am we’ll be having our breakfast, 2pm for lunch and 6pm for dinner and of course Lai has planned some things to do to keep us busy” I add, setting my phone down as I return my attention to Clark who’s still juggling drying his hair and reading emails.“Hmmn, okay” he replies absentmindedly. Shaking my head I get off the bed to approach him, “let me help you with that” I say, taking the towel from his hands. “Are you sure?” He asks, turning to face me, making it the first time he’s bothered to make eye contact today. I nod, “the faster we both get done with your hair and the emails, the sooner we can join the others

Lara's Point of ViewThe rest of the day goes well and I’m back at the hotel room with Clark. Tomorrow is Monday, so we have to get ready to leave for work first thing tomorrow morning.I’m yet to ask Clark about what he meant when he says it wasn’t for my parents, but I’m afraid to know what he meant by that statement. So for now, ignorance is bliss.“All done” I say, zipping Clark and I’s shared luggage, “you totally should have done this cause I was the one who packed the bag for the trip” I say, resting against the bed frame.He chuckles, “yeah I know, I would have loved to help but there’s something that Lai and I had to finish up” he says, referring to the two hour meeting he just had with Lai.I playfully roll my eyes, “so how are you going to make it up to me” I smile, “I’m thinking a a bowl of ice cream and a trip out of the country will do” I joke, teasing him.“Done” he smiles, I shake my head, “no need, I was just joking around. I don’t need any of those things and besides

The ride back home in the wee hours of the morning was rather quiet. We said our goodbyes to my parents and immediately retired to the car as we set back home.The tension and awkwardness in the atmosphere could be felt, so much that the driver kept looking at us through the mirror. Clark remained seated on the extreme right side of the car and I made myself very comfortable on the extreme left side as I faced the windows not having the confidence to face him.Pity we were just planning to go on a vacation, I guess that has no chance of happening and for the right reasons too, at least according to Clark.The driver parks at the entrance and immediately scurries off to park the car in the garage. Without waiting for Clark to assist in opening the door, I let myself out of the car, heading straight to my room.Either way the room is either going to be mine or Clark’s, and I guess in due time we will find out. “Are you okay?” Clark asks, unaware of the discomfort he’s caused by suddenly

“Good evening Lara” Clark says, as he settles into the back seat, simultaneously placing his bag on the floor. “Good evening” I reply, curtly before looking away gazing out the windows.Clark sighs, “we’ll be stopping at leve street, there are some documents I need to get there” he says to the driver. “Would that be our only stop, or do we have more stops?” I ask, with an annoyed tone, feeling surprised with myself immediately the words leave my mouth.He nods, ignoring my tone, “yeah, after that we can go home” he says, pulling out his phone as he busily texts someone. “Or maybe I could just get down here, not sure what could happen next with you” I mutter under my breath.“Please let yourself out” he mutters, out of the driver's hearing causing me to shoot him an annoyed look. “Please let's stop here” I say, giving Clark a determined look as the driver immediately stops at the curb looking confused at my sudden instruction.“Thank you” I say before getting out of the car.

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 take a moment to observe him, the way he enjoys his food, the little quirks that make him uniquely him. There’s something so endearing about the way he closes his eyes for a brief second as he savors the flavors, as if he’s trying to capture the mome

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
