Gerald’s POV I paced in the hallway with different thoughts. I was scared. I was scared for Kaira and at the same time, my heart. I didn’t want anything to hurt her again and at the same time the thought that she might recover her memory scared me. I kept hissing and pacing. Regaining her memory meant that I had lost her. I was going to be a sad man all my life if she left. “What’s going on? Where is my wife?”. “Wife?”the nurse asked, puzzled. It was at this moment I knew what I said. I smacked my head. I didn’t even know how it slipped out. “What is going on? Is she fine?”, I asked again. “She is with the doctor, sir”. I waited in the hallway for about thirty minutes before the doctor walked towards me. I got up in a hurry. “Doctor, what happened?”I swallowed my breath. I tried to prepare my heart for the worse. “Mr Gerald, she is resting now. It is quite normal for her to have such breakouts sometimes, her brain is healin
Harry’s POV. I brushed my hair and stared at the mirror one last time before walking out of the house. It was Kaira’s therapy day and I was unusually excited to see her. Seeing her meant spending enough time with her. It was what I had planned out. After her session I planned on taking her to places we visited together. This was my tool in helping her regain her memory quickly. I drove to her apartment and adjusted my sleeve before knocking. After few knocks, Elizabeth opened the door holding a book. “Good morning Mr Harry”. I allowed myself in and looked around the sitting room. “Good morning Elizabeth. Where is Kaira?”, I asked immediately. She locked the door and walked up to me. “She is in her room”. Her response was swift and cold. “Today is her therapy session. Is she ready?”. My question was left unanswered. “Elizabeth?”, I called her name with a spike. “No sir”. She was hesitant and unnecessarily disturbed. “Why?”, I
The next thing I heard was a roar of laughter. Gerald laughed as though he was intoxicated. “What is funny?”, I asked with a frown. Gerald laughed more. After a while, he opened his flask and gulped down its content. “Harrison Lead”, he called my name and smiled with an evil grin. “Harrison wants to bite”, he laughed even more. I was boiling hot and I tossed my phone at him. To my surprise, he caught it and dropped it on the table. “In your life, in your entire existence Harrison! Don’t you ever do this again”. He laughed and continued with his food. I stood still as though I had seen a ghost. “That reminds me, when next you toss anything at me, you will be catching bullets. You are a lawyer and I guess you can make a case from that”. My anger defoliated all of a sudden. I found myself muted and disabled. Slowly I fell back to my seat and wiped my sweats. It wasn’t the threats, it was my brother. I knew what he was capable of
“Mom! Gerald !…Gerald”, I broke down in tears again. I was hurt and my chest was aching. “Gerald had all my friends who attended my party yesterday arrested. He is suing them for invading his personal property and charging them $200,000 each for compensation”. My parents were mute. The next few seconds was filled with my sound of my sobbing. “Why would he do that? He gifted you that apartment last year. He can’t get to your friends because he has issues with you”. My dad stated but it was just the tip of the iceberg. I laughed bitterly. “That’s not all Dad. Before I got here, few hours ago I meant”. I sniffed out in a face towel. “I stopped by the apartment to get my favorite scarf I left behind last night. Guess what?” I stared at my mom before breaking down again. This time it felt like my world was crumpling and gradually coming to an end. I pulled my hair and wailed more till my mom held my hands. “Mom, Gerald has claimed custody of th
My eyes sparked tears. It was happy tears. Gerald saying those words meant so much to me. “Don’t cry” his voice was cracked but yet beautiful. He kissed my forehead and I hugged him. “Now, let’s get going”. Gerald helped me to his car and kissed my lips as he helped me with the seatbelt. Elizabeth was with Gerald’s bodyguard. As we drove, my hand was wrapped with Gerald’s. He would smile at me occasionally as he drove. “How was work?”, I asked as the silence in the car became bothersome. “It was a lot. I miss having you around. The new secretary is quite slow but he will get used to it”. His eyes were on the road as he spoke. He sounded so causal but how it managed to send me giggle vibes I couldn’t explain. “I am sorry you went late for your meeting”. Gerald’s grip on my hand tightened. “Baby, it’s fine. You don’t have to apologize”. He looked at me with the sweetest smile and the most beautiful eyes I have ever seen.
My hand moved to the hem of her shirt and I softly massaged her shoulder. Kaira closed her eyes and a moan escaped her lips. I smirked and stopped , leaning away. She opened her eyes and smacked my hand. “Why do that?”, she rolled her eyes and moved away from me. She was cute and dramatic in a very beautiful way. “Come on”, I moved closer to her laughing. Kaira planted a pillow in between us and moved away. “Baby”, I tried to suppress my laughter and moved the pillow away. “Alright I am sorry” I kissed her ear softly. “Baby, look at me”, I whispered, trailing butterfly kisses from her ear to her neck. Kaira stylishly pushed me off with a shy smile. “Leave me alone”, she blushed. “Really?”, I moved closer and trailed kissed down to her chest and paused. “Do you really want me to leave you alone?”, I raised my head to look at her eyes. Kaira’s eyes were dimmed and filled with longing and need. I knew it was time to stop. “Baby, it’s
“Gerald, I…. I am wet”, Kaira said shyly. I moved my hand in between her legs and slowly massaged her thigh. It gave me so much pleasure. “I know baby, I know”. My voice sounded like a whisper. I pulled her shorts gently leaving her bare pussy exposed. My mouth watered at the sight of how beautiful it was. “I can’t do anything till you recover fully, babe, but I can make you feel better. I need you to be free. Don’t hold back. Tell me where you want to be touched”. Kaira nodded with her red cheeks. I moved my hand in between her legs and moved deeper till I touched her clit. “Ahh”, she moaned softly. She was telling the truth. Kaira had a fountain flowing between her legs. Slowly, I massaged her clit with my thumb as I maintained eye contact with her. “Look at me, Kaira. I need to see those beautiful eyes “. Kaira stared at me but her eyes weren’t stable. It was what I wanted. Slowly, I moved one finger inside of her and immediately
Kaira’s POV I tossed softly and it felt empty. This feeling formed a slight frown on my face. All night, Gerald was always in touch when I tossed. I slowly sat up and rubbed my eyes with a tiring yawn. “Good morning sunshine”, the most beautiful voice echoed from the door. Gerald had a tray full of breakfast and a warm smile on his face. “Good morning sweetheart”, I gushed as he prepared a stool before me. He dropped the breakfast and took my face towards his lips. We kissed and my heart sparked up with rainbows and butterflies. “How is my woman doing?” He leaned back and smiled at me, fixing the tray properly. My cheeks were starting to hurt. I was floating in paradise. Gerald is every woman’s dream man. My stomach giggled at the mention of “my woman”. Yes! I was his. “I don’t know “ I blushed and bit my lower lip. “I feel wonderful and everywhere”. I sipped my tea and blew him a kiss. “Babe, I need to head
“Can’t you do anything?” Mira wiped her eyes as she watched Gerald escorted by the wardens into prison. Harry squeezed her hand and sighed heavily. “He made his choice, he struck a deal in court and I hate how helpless I am”. His voice, filled with pain as he watched his brother out of sight. “It is funny” Mira laughed bitterly. “You always have someone who you share your day and wins with. Somebody who is willing to listen and make you feel better”. She sobbed softly. “You don’t realize how much they mean to you till the day they leave you”. Mira’s word struck Harry to the bones. He looks at space and memories of Elizabeth filled his mind. “Mira, I need to go” he announced, running back to his car. Mira stood outside the prison’s facility till Craig showed up. “How is he?” She asked him curiously. “He is fine. He asked me to give you this”. Craig handed Gerald’s bracelet to her before walking to his car. She held it closely to
Rubby hung her hand around me and hugged me tightly. “I am sorry”. She sniffed in my arms. I looked at my mom, she had a pity face on. I signaled her to come over. She rushed to us and we shared a group hug. “Baby” she hugged me and wept softly as we refrained. “Gerald plead guilty” I said coldly. “He already won but He stood up for me and….” I broke down in her arms. “Shhhh. I am here” my mom stroked my hair and it felt comfortable and peaceful. “I thought I wanted him to suffer, but now I can’t bear to see him being put away”. I cried loudly. “He still loves you, Mira” Rubby said dryly. I raised my head and looked at her. “Yes. I have seen how miserable he looked this few days and he still loves you”. She nodded at me. My eyes poured more tears down my face. “I… I don’t know what to do”. I confessed in tears. “Baby, has 46 hours left. Talk to him once. You will feel better”. She assured me. My mom was right
“Mira, you wanted him to suffer, so this is just revenge for you?” He asked. “Yes! You are right. It is revenge for everything he did to me. He abused me and….”. “Is there a report of this allegation?” Craig interrupted her again. Mira was speechless, she opened her mouth and there were no words, just tears. Gerald battled with my grip on him. His hands were shaking. “Did you make or file a report?” Craig asked again. “No but…Harry….” “Oh you mean his brother you were sleeping with also abused you?” Craig blocked her words before it even left her mouth. “Enough! Stop! Stop!” Gerald stood up and yelled. He walked towards the stand and pushed Craig. “Stop. Enough of this madness”. He yelled. “Mr Lead, return to your seat”. The judge commanded. “No, I will not”. Gerald responded. “He has gone mad,” I whispered. “Your honor, isn’t this obvious. My client is in love with the same woman who is bent on ruining h
My sitting room became a mini courtroom. It was the second time Harry was preparing me for the stand. “Harry, I got this” I sighed weakly. Harry looked at me and walked towards me like he was about to punch me. “No you don’t, till I feel you are ready, you are not ready”. I swallowed my pride. “The trial is in twelve hours and Naira has never lost a case and she is a blood hungry woman. She won’t rest till she breaks you on the stand! Got it?”. I nodded and took the stand again. Harry went over possible scenarios and prepared me for my response. “Harry, Naira doesn’t have witnesses”. Craig walked up to him. “Does that mean that she bluffed?” He asked. Craig pulled him aside and from the look on their faces, my guts knew something was wrong. “What?” I asked, getting off the mock stand. “Mira is the only witness she has”. Harry said weakly. I fell on the couch with a headache. “This means she will testify against him no matter what w
Harry’s POV. As soon as I heard their plot, I spoke up. I have been standing for the past two minutes and none of them could tell. They were all filled with range and revenge. “Harry” Craig walked forward but I pushed him out of my way. I went to Gerald and he looked away. “I told you not to do anything! What are you thinking?” I fired at him. “He just lost his company to a woman and you are here beating him for trying to stand for himself” Rubby hissed. “I knew you would be here. A snake trying to get an opportunity to strike! Aren’t you ashamed? Do you have a conscience?” I yelled at her. She looked away and sat down shamelessly. “This is your sister who you never cared about, at first glance you married her husband and now you are here to do what?” I lashed out at her. Craig looked lost and confused. “This is all a means for you to get Gerald, but I will not allow your selfish nature to tear my family apart!”. Rubby looked at me and bat
Gerald’s POV. Nothing prepared me for the moment I saw Mira in her office sipping coffee. I thought I was prepared but I wasn’t. She looked pale and I couldn’t help but notice her eye bags. “Boss”, Craig opened the door and I walked in. At first glance, my heart sank. I hated the feelings I was getting. The urge to walk forward and hug her. “You don’t have an appointment”, she fired at Craig. Craig laughed and took a seat in front of her. I stood by the door, unable to move an inch. I missed her. “My client and I have a settlement offer for you”. Craig presented a settlement document he suggested would cease the fire before it even started. He signaled me and I walked forward and sat next to him. She picked the document and looked at me. “Really?” She smiled coldly. Her smile frightened me. She slipped through the pages and her facial expression changed. “You can’t depose me as CEO ” she said aggressively.
Flashback. I stood under the drizzling rain with a coat as I waited patiently for Craig. He was my trump card to get through Gerald. “Hey”, I walked after him as he walked out of his apartment in gym clothes. “What?” He blasted at me without slowing down. “Can you be polite”, I almost lost my patience. He paused, turned around and raised a brow at me. “I am not your lawyer and I have no intention of becoming one. Even if I loose my job, you can’t afford me”. He was a proud asshole and I felt like walking out on him but I couldn’t. I needed him. “This is not about me. It is about your client, your money bank, without him you would still be an associate in a law clinic”. I fired back. He looked around and walked closer to me. “What do you want?” He lowered his voice and adjusted his tone. “You saw the news. Your client’s wife reappeared after two years and that means trouble”. Craig looked at me like he had no choice. “Follow me”.
Rubby’s POV. I came back from the gym to meet my parents standing in front of the tv like they have seen a ghost. “Mom?” I walked closer and caught a glimpse of the screen. “Abj’s new CEO reveals her true identity. Mira Greg”. I cleaned my eyes to make sure I was seeing properly. Like a wind, it struck me. “I have waited for this,sister”. “What in Free city is this manipulation”. I yelled. “Mom, she is Mira”. I almost lost balance. My mom was motionless. She looked lost as tears rolled down her face. Dad couldn’t lift his face. He walked back upstairs slowly. It all made sense at once. “It was all a plot. She never lost her memory. She sneaked her way in through pity”. I muttered in spite. “Gerald. She manipulated his feelings….. I must warn him”. “Rubby, he is aware” my mom’s voice stopped me halfway. “What?” I turned back and she nodded. “He was at the board meeting when she revealed her identity. She revealed he
Kaira’s POV. “I am Mira Greg, the daughter of the founder Abj venture. The wife of Gerald Lead. And it is a pleasure to be back home”. The board members stood up and clapped. It was the first time I ever I had the urge to breakdown in public. My heart was satisfied and my eyes shared tears of joy and fulfillment. Clara walked forward and hugged me. “You are a strong woman and I am proud of you “. She wiped the tear that escaped from her eyes. I hugged her back and it felt good. The clapping and cheering of the board members increased. It was my moment and I enjoyed every bit of it. “Mira, you are a great woman. Welcome” Mr Khoki tapped my shoulder. I got the the sympathy and respect of my board members and it was going to be a new dispensation. One at a time, the congratulated me and exited the board room. It was time to face my husband. We stood at the ends of the table in an empty board room. I had no words, my heart was rai
