Lena pov A lot has been going on right recently. I wanted to share with Gray that I finally got a role play in another industry but I didn't want to pass the news to him on the phone. After we were done shooting, I didn't even wait for Lily, I quickly drove to Gray's house. The drive was slow and steady, the thought of our last hanging out to going to the suite occupied my mind. That day was a blast, our bond has grown ever since that day, and we trusted each other. I got to his compound, parked my car, and quietly walked to his office, telling his staff not to inform him that I was around. I stood at his office front door, adjusting my dress to appear more sexy and catchy when I overheard his conversation with his cousin. “You should really tell Lena the truth, she might get to hear it from Leo someday and it won't sit well for you,” Theo suggested. “I'm not sure I am ready for it yet. I still need to be convinced that I truly love her, not being with her because she look
Lena pov Months passed and Gray hasn't tried reaching out to me, I lost the new role I got. Many producers didn't want to work with me,” our fans won't like to see your face on their screen”, I keep hearing words from producers. Lily decided to stop going to set just to stay with me, a lot was happening so fast, I was just some toy to keep Gray busy while he waited for his lover to return. “Let's leave this town and start afresh in a place where nobody knows you, I will come with you, you won't have to do this alone.”Lily said sounding so serious and mean “What? I should leave everything and disappeare?” I asked with my voice breaking. “There is nothing left here, babe. Can't you see? Staying here will only keep damaging you, let's go somewhere and start afresh together. You can go back to painting, you've always loved it. You will be fine, I promise you.” Lily said reassuring me. It's been week since Lily suggested we relocate, I needed time to think,that this was t
Lena pov It's been five month since I began parental care. I chose to get into painting since I loved doing it but I had no much qualifications, and I've been receiving bookings ever since. I'm constantly completely booked, and I can’t believe I have saved so much money in such short period of time. Lilly and I had managed to change a lot of things in our apartment and it was now looking presentable. Today was is my check up and I’ve chosen to discover the gender of my child. My pregnancy was quite long. I couldn’t continue with my acting career and the contract is not for pregnant women. I received a text from Lily while I was waiting for her downstairs to let me know when if she was ready to go. “Are you ready,mommy? I am waiting. I will be down in few minutes. “ Lily made everything easy. She was with me every steps of the way, and I am thankful. I’m not sure what I would have done without Lily. We went to the doctor,and she was with me. Lily wanted a boy but I wanted a
Lena pov When Garry turned a 1 and six months,I decided to go back fully into painting while I see how I can revamp my career.Garry and I agreed to go visit the shelters every weekend. Garry was now four years old and he was such a sweet boy,because my old car got damaged and couldn’t be fix anymore, I leased a shop near his school to take him to pre-school every morning and pick up everyday. Lily married Ezra,the guy she’s has been seeing for years,she moved out when they bought a house. On a Saturday,Lily and Ezra were hosting a dinner for us and we dropped by. We took a cab to Lily and Ezra home after visiting the shelter. It was just the four of us,since Lily and I didn’t make any friends after moving here and Ezra was not much of a friend person type. We chose to stay indoor and watch the tv, Garry was playing football with Ezra outside. I wasn’t paying much attention to what was on, on the television or what it was saying but I heard. It has now been confirmed that Miss
Leo pov I have seen that birthmark before, everyone in Gray household had it, I walked away picking my call and making some phone calls, I needed to do alot of finding out. I'm glad she doesn't recognize me, and I don't know why I suddenly feel like giving up on revenge. There is something about her that's just different and special. ~Lena pov John had called me that we just got a contract with a company that was just moving to our town, I had to hurry to join them, I didn't ask much of the company, I was just excited. I got to the shop and they were gone, guess I wasn't fast enough, John explained that they are setting up another meeting with us but we had to go over to the company. My team was having everything under control I didn't have to worry about knowing the company. Garry was with the man and I promised i was going to come fetch him after work, the day was quite hectic but I had to go get Garry and prepare for tomorrow's school. I wish lily was still around, everyt
We proceed with discussing how they want the designs to be. Took us quite some time to agree on a particular design. Gray suggested we go round to see how the designs will fit the wall, I began measuring the wall to know the exact length to use while painting but the manager motioned for Gray to come over and have a look. He lowered himself till I could feel his breath on the back of my neck. “Is this guy acting maliciously,or am I seeing things? If I could turn,I’m sure we’d end up kissing” “What are your thoughts?” I inquired. “You’re quite excellent,Miss Lena.” “I appreciate that very much,Mr Gray. That’s what you are paying me to do. I suppose we’ve finished for the day.” I then focused my attention on the media manager. “What time should we begin tomorrow? “I’m not sure, Mr Gray,what time do you think Miss Lena should begin tomorrow? “Nine o’clock should work. Would Miss Lena want to have a supper tonight? Gray gazed at my team as he asked and quickly adjusted his expressi
Gray pov She walked in naked to the closet as the bathroom door slipped open. Water trickled down her body wet and fell to the floor. She walked into the bathroom to shower after conversing with some uncle and Lily. ***** She finished her shower and reached for a towel to dry herself, only to realize that she hadn't brought any towel with her. Towels are not currently available at the media suite. She cursed herself for being so irresponsible. She fought with herself. She eventually pried open the the bathroom room floor and proceeded towards with the closet. Water ran down her wet body and pooled on the floor. She heard someone clear their throat behind her as she rummaged through the wardrobe for a towel. She was started and a bit surprised as she turned around to discovered me standing behind her. Her thoughts became blank,she froze on the spot. When her brain started working again, she realized she was naked. She ran to the restroom,she left out a piercing scream. Unfo
Lena pov I had a lot of questions, am I a tomato,why was I still drawn to this man? What exactly is he doing here?why is his eyes still fixed on my boobs?why did he act as though we’ve never seen each other before? Does he know about Garry existence? Certainly not! He could not possibly know about Garry,I am not ready to share my baby. I pushed aside the feelings and approached him. “Mr Gray,what exactly are you doing in here? I thought that everything was in order and that the painting would take place by the next day. Did I miss anything by any chance ?” Rather than answering, he locked his eyes on me with his desire. Why does my body crave him? this is going to be a difficult task. I swore not to allow any man touch me again, I pledged not to fall for any man, why was he different. “Is everything okay,Mr Gray?” Then I heard him murmured. Fuck! Charging in my direction. ~Gray pov Since Lena exited the restroom,my eyes have been busy disrobing her. I was oblivious to
Lena paced back and forth in her room,her phone pressed to her ear. The line crackled with static, and Larry voice, distant and muffled,barely reached her. “Larry,can you hear me? What is the update? I waited for your call yesterday since you said you were going to call. “Yeah yeah,Lena. I’m on it. I was going to call you yesterday but something came up, my guys suggested we hang out with some hot chick, I came home pretty wasted. Anyways, I just got a lead. But I need to ask you something, thought you said you only have one child?” Lena sighed,” yes,why?” She asked her voice almost a whisper. “Because according to my source,it was two kids that was taken that day,then we kept digging. Some guy named..what’s his name? Oh, right, Jack. Jack something, I don't really give much fuck about his name though. According to him, a lady came to rent the van from his shop, she claimed she needed it to pack her things because she was relocating. We've has been trying to track the lady but
The silence was deafening. Lena and her husband, once inseparable, sat across from each other at the dining table, a chasm of unspoken words separating them. The soft glow of the chandelier cast long, eerie shadows on the walls, mirroring the darkness that had crept into their relationship. Lena gazed was fixed on her plate, the untouched meal a stark reflection of her turmoil. Her heart ached with a mix of regret and longing. She missed the days when laughter filled their home, when their love was a beacon of warmth and comfort. The ticking of the clock on the wall seemed to amplify the silence, each tick a painful reminder of the time slipping away. They had once shared dreams, hopes, and aspirations. Now, it felt like they were strangers, living under the same roof. Gray,equally lost in thought, kept stealing glance at her. He couldn’t figure why she was so angry at him,he blamed himself for getting drunk that day, all this incident could have been avoided. They finished thei
The morning sun streamed through the window, casting a warm glow on Oliv face. She sipped her water, her gaze fixed on the bustling bush outside the window. Yesterdays conversation with Sebastian replayed I her mind, his words stinging like a fresh wound. His sharp tone, his sarcastic words- it had caught her off guard. She thought she'd finally meet someone that will love her without judging her, shed always admired his quick wit and a d easy charm, but yesterday, he’d shown a side of him, to even think it was not his time of saying that to her. Emily glanced at the entrance, her heart pounding. She was hearing Sebastian's voice, he was probably heading in her direction, she wasn't prepared to face him. Instead, she buried herself in her water, pretending to be lost in thought. She could feel his presence, the weight of his eyes on her, but she refused to look up. She wanted to avoid the awkwardness, the tension, the possibility of another bitter truth from him. “The kids w
The stale air of the basement hung heavy, thick with the scent of fear and dust. Oliv,her heart a leaden of weight, shuffled forward with a tray of untouched sandwiches. The children, huddled together like a frightened birds,met her gaze with defiance. “Come on, now," she said , her voice barely a whisper. "You need to eat. You haven't had anything since..." She trailed off, the memory of their terrified faces when she'd first dragged them down here too painful to bear. “We don’t like this place, we want to go home.” Garry said his voice barely a whisper. Silence stretched between them, the only sound the ticking of an old grandfather clock in the corner. The sandwiches sat untouched, a stark contrast to the emptiness in their hollowed eyes. “You will soon go home, your dad is only making this complicated,trading your life for wealth, is it even worth it?” Oliv sighed.” You will have to eat something,please just have a bite. It will break your mom heart to see you weak,you need
Theo hung up the phone, his heart pounding to his chest. The image of his parents rushing into the operating room flash before his eyes. He couldn't what he'd just heard. Gray knew all these years and kept it from him, his dad was involved. How could he be responsible for his own brothers' deaths? The thought was almost unbearable. Anger surged through him, a hot, consuming fire. He clenched his fists, nails digging into his palms. How could someone so cold, so calculating, be capable of such a heinous act? He'd always seen Gray's dad as a pillar of the community, a successful businessman with a seemingly perfect life. But now, Theo saw a different side of him, a darker, more sinister side. And Gray kept this away from him, was he covering up his father's evil deed? Was he in support? Leo stormed out of his room, his mind racing. He needed to confront Gray, to demand answers. He found Gray in his studying room, lost in thought. Gray looked up, his expression puzzled. “What's
Leo pov I was unsettled, pacing around in his room, Gray was singing the papers today. That shit was supposed to be mine, he was supposed to be handing everything to me today but that old fool decided to outplay and outsmart me. He won't be in that office for long, I will do destroy him. My thought was cut short with call from Peter. “How did it go? Has the papers been signed?” I asked. “No, it was a terrible event.” Peter replied. “What do you mean?” “Old man got pissed,punched Gray on the face, Gray got angry and his men killed almost all old man men. Gray said he had to see his son before any ownership will be transferred.” Peter explained. “And?” I asked “There was no sign of Garry after much wait, only for Sebastian to rush in with bruises that he was ambushed. Guess, old man also have someone that is watching him.” Peter replied. I scoffed,” this is good news,” I said letting out a cold smiling, “at least,no papers were signed and I am sure Gray won’t that s
Leo glanced at his reflection in the bathroom mirror. His face, once a mask of confidence, was now marred with bruise and cuts. Peter and some men had injured him badly on the day of Lena escape. He couldn’t believe Peter could betrayal him like that,he trusted him,he could vow for him but he got it all wrong. After all,everything was survival of the defeated. He decided to go into hiding since they couldn’t kill him that night. ** Flash back to that night. “But boss said we should kill him and come with his head.” One of the men said,his voice barely audible. “I know and I telling you to give me some time, I have been with this man for a while, it won’t be easy for me to just kill him but , I promise to kill him.” Peter replied. “Remember we don’t have much time and you definitely know boss temper. “ another replied yelling out. Leo eavesdrop on their conversations,tears rolled down his cheeks. They were going to kill him,what about his daughter? How will she survive? Who w
Today was the day that Gray had promised to bring Garry back home. Lena paced back and forth, her anxious eyes scanning through the mansion. Her heart pounded in her chest, a restless drumbeat echoing the worry gnawing at her. What is keeping Gray, they should be here by now?” A familiar rumble broke the silence. The engine low growl signaled his return. Lena face lit up with hope. She rushed to the gate,her hand trembling as she watched the car drive in. The car pulled into the driveway, it’s headlights illuminating Gray weary face. Lena smiled faltered as she noticed the absence of their son. Gray stepped out of the car, his shoulders slumped,followed by Theo and Chris. They slightly bowed their head, greeting Lena as they walked passed them. “Where is Garry? her voice, a mere whisper. “Hes…still with Mr Thompson”, he lied, his voice barely audible. Lena's heart sank. Anger, disappointment and fear swirled within her. “ How could this happen? Why ain't you here with ou
As old man men kept falling, a silence descended upon the warehouse. “ I said,fucking make them stop.” Old man yelled out. Gray laughed,” why? Thought this was what you wanted.” He teased. “Fair enough then,” he yelled.” You should be expecting your son’s body if you don’t make them stop this moment.” Gray stared at his men, more like they were enjoying the killing, he signaled Theo to make everyone stop. The place became quite after everyone was calmed. Gary stepped forward,his face a mask of indifference.” Don’t you think it’s over?this is just a signal that you are no match for me. Why can’t you behave like your age,I won’t warn you to trade carefully again.” Gray said his voice barely a whisper. “The game is up, don’t get ahead of yourself.” Old man replied his cutting through the silence. Gray laughed, readjusted his suit as he sit.”why are you just standing there? Call your men,tell them they are wasting my fucking time.” “Why not sign the papers and I will have your
