This had been Emily's dream house, something she had always wanted, a place where she gets so happy when she gets to. But, all in a flash, it went down the drain, and I lost Emily, just because she wasn't patient enough, or probably, wasn't satisfied. …. Were you ever faithful with her? Were you patient or satisfied with her?… my subconscious whispered, Well, to be honest, I was never faithful with her, and I wasn't patient, but I am a guy, and I am not a virgin, besides the temptation was at its optimum, from all angles I was seduced. Who can stand those? Also with the fact that you have a girlfriend who wasn't ready for sex. Besides, we haven't been to the altar yet, so I see no genuine reason not to catch fun when I had wanted to. but you made promises that were to be made on the altar with her! … my subconscious whispers. I know that was true but it wasn't official. The altar is official. My phone vibrated on my hand the second time snapping me out of my thoughts. I clicked t
I stood close to the door, smiling sheepishly like a released prisoner, as I watched her stir in her sleep. She's the sweetest thing that ever happened to me, her olive skin, had goosebumps, and she folded her knees in a way that shows she's cold. I just smiled switch off the air conditioner, before walking down to the bed, to pull the duvet over her head yesterday i got her a new phone, and she had told me to teach her how to operate it, i had insisted she come to my room, which she refused vehemently, but after a lot of persuasion she gave in, and both of us had worked down to my room. "You know you should quit the stare, it's beginning to look creepy." She said, changing her sleeping position, like she's on her bed, and isn't going to school. Clearly, I do not mind staying here with her all day, to watch her sleep, or play with her finger when she's scared. It's so lovely, trust me. "Leonard… " I heard her mumble… I walked to her form, pushed back the hair on her face to stic
"Emily, is this the cloth you were talking about?" Mary-Rose interrupted our staring contest. She snatched her hands out of mine immediately. "What do you want Mr. Luther?" Her voice was so venomous like she's really annoyed. "I just want to see them please?" "And who are you talking about Mr. Luther?" "The babies." "I rather die, Leonardo" My face paled out immediately, I heard that. Like she would rather die than show me the babies, I mean why would I even ask in the first instance if I am not stupid. Why should I even care? "Mary -Rose, c'mon let's go already, this fucker here is really misbehaving." She said, snapping me out of my thoughts. "I am sorry for asking Miss Macbeth. I won't make such a mistake in the future." "I am sure, such an opportunity won't even arise, I will take my leave now Mr. Luther." With that, she entered her car and drove off leaving me in the compound. Immediately I got into my car, I tried calling her, that's Bella again, but it wasn't even
"If that is the case then you have my support Mr Luther." They all casted their vote, and those in support were more than those against, then I picked the file and signed it. I could have just signed it off, but dad would always say, if you wanna go far, walk or work as a team, but if you wanna go fast, work or walk alone. And that's just what i did. * Emily Pov. Was i too harsh? Or should i have allowed him have a pep at my boys, Damn. What if he wanna claim them, take my babies from me? Those rich folks can do and undo. With their connection and that she-devil with him, he could do anything drastic and dangerous. I can't just wait for this month to roll out, then i get the opportunity to take my adorable darlings out of this hell called place. It's annoying, seeing his face on every newspaper, every tabloid and billboards. Something that had always made me smile in times past, now became something that hurt me, something that creeps me out and gives me heart aches. "You are c
"Why Jamal and Ja'far?" Mary asked as we walked out of the hospital, she has been repeating the question over and over again, while I choose to ignore her, and thank God she understands I wasn't in the mood to talk. I remember when I was still with Leo, and when he talked about how he wanted his kids with me, and how he would shower us with love and all money can buy... "You know what Mary?" I asked her out of the blues. "Yeah, what?" "We shouldn't dwell on the memories of the past, the past is there to correct us in the future in order not to make the same mistake.." "And where's that coming from?" She asked amused I looked at the road, to be sure a vehicle was not coming before I drove out of the hospital. "It's a new Emily remember!" I said with a smile. "Oh, then I love the new Emily." "Do you remember when Isabella said Divorced ladies are always hotter than when they are married?" "Yeah, I do. So what's with that? " "Am driving down to the gym now, to get my fa
"Decent afternoon everyone, may I introduce to you the new CEO of our company." A man I have come to know as the Vice to Leo introduced me to the board of executives. I guess those that own shares in the company "Good afternoon ma'am" they all chorused. "Good afternoon everyone just like Mr. Patterson had said, My name is Emily Macbeth, the ex-wife to Mr. Leonardo Luther, and I hope y'all have heard the gist already. So there are some changes that are about to go down here, beginning with the rate at which you are gaining from your shares here." I began to hear murmurs, maybe they thought I was going to decrease their income rate. "Excuse me, Gents. When I said that, I meant that it's gonna fall on the increase, alongside the increment of the workers' salary by twenty-five percent and the republishing of our brands and changing of the name the company holds." They all stared at me in shock, not expecting me to talk about changing the name I guess. "Ma'am" an old man raised his han
Kuchi kuchi ku." Mary said to the boys as they adorably stared at her from the baby court. "What the fuck are you saying to them," I asked with a smile, "Mummy is back.." she whispered to them, as she stroked their chubby cheeks, my babies would be going home today, so I went to clear out all the paperwork that needed to be cleared. "Their cheeks and lips are just so adorable and they scream Kiss me kiss me" Mary whined, as they started crying immediately they saw me. "Thank God they lashed out well and didn't give any problem, as if they knew their mum was alone and their dad was a dick." She spoke further... "Okay, that's okay. You are not gonna cuss in front of my boys. You and Isabella need to watch the way you talk as from now on, No cussing where my boys are. If not, I would spank the shit outta y'all" "But you just cussed." She said amidst laughter. "Just like you've said, I am just so happy they are fine, and there are no complications at all. I can't even imagine de
"Are you going with them or not, i want to know those on my side and those against me." I said to the startled mary-rose… "What in heaven's name is wrong with you Emily" she yelled as we both walked into the car, just coming back from the gym. It's been yesterday since that shit happened, i knew i blew everything out but i just wasn't comfortable immediately i saw him, i know about their plan of keeping him closer but what if his visit was part of his plan to continue my ruin from where he had stopped through hannah. "You have been muted since yesterday Mary, what prompted you to talk now?""Can you even hear your self Emily, you are like a sister to me, why would even doubt me, why would you even ruin all of our plans, just because of some of your paranoid insecurity reasonings? " "Paranoid insecurity you say? Jamal and Ja'far are there, and you are saying i am being paranoid? If anything. Anything happen to my babies, you think
