Kendrick at his study, thinking hard on what to do. He stood in front of the window, looking at the cars moving.

His head has refused to think. Coupled with the hangover, he just couldn't go hard on himself. Having stood there for some time, he went to his desk.

He brought out a clean sheet with a carved pencil. There was a rush of jewelry ideas in his head and he needed to get one since he couldn't get a solution.

He was almost done with the earrings sketching when a message popped on his screen, distracting him.

“Boss, the board wants to have a meeting with you in an hour's time,” the message was from his secretary.

He was expecting that summons, but not so fast. He knew the board would be hard on him because a lot of them were never in support of him being the Ceo.

They had chosen who they wanted to take over from his mother, but his mother insisted he take over because he had been his PA before taking up other positions.

He dressed up going to the company. He had no expectations

    “Rosy, please just do this once. I promise not to disturb you again,” Kendrick pleaded.He has been on his knees begging Rosy to go out on a lunch date with him to help the situation.If the public sees both of them together, their thoughts about everything will change and everything will return to normal. Besides, who will be angry when his wife isn’t?“The last time I did, where did it get us? There is no need trying again, just go look for some other alternative cause it won’t be different this time,” she said as she continued knitting.Rosy was very good at knitting. She knitted the table cover on the dinner table. She also knitted most of her casual wear and that of Kendrick, especially the one he loves the most.“But we can’t conclude yet until we try it out, please Rosy,” Kendrick begged.“Go look for someone else for the job. I am tired of being embarrassed by you in front of everyone,” she said, not shifting her gaze from what she was doing.“Yes, I know I embarrassed you the

    Rosy collected the mic of one reporter. She cleared her throat, gaining their attention.“I will give you all an answer which you seek,” she smiled, looking at the faces of everyone.“What are you doing?” Kendrick asked quietly, which she ignored.“I am not being forced to stay in my marriage. My husband made a mistake which he informed me about immediately before the pregnancy. It was a one-time thing and ever since then, it hasn't happened again.”“Are you saying you were aware your husband cheated on you?” A reporter asked.She ignored the question as she continued with what she was saying.“My husband and I agreed she won't give birth to her baby outside our house. That is why she is living with us. A mistake won't break my marriage. Everyone is bound to make mistakes and people should be forgiven when they do. I still love my husband, and our marriage agreement is still intact.”“So you supported your husband's infidelity?” A reporter asked her.“I would like to use this medium t

    Kendrick was at his office preparing a file he was supposed to send to a client about Ruserick's best items.The client contacted him after Rosy spoke to the reporters, and he had been so interested in Ruserick since then.His phone rang. He heard it, but was too busy to check who the caller was. He just wanted to finish up with this so the client can get what he wanted from them.The phone rang again and when it almost ended; he picked it up, not checking the caller.“Hello.”“Hello Kendrick,” the caller said.The voice sounded familiar, so he looked at his phone screen to see who was calling and when he saw it, he quickly greeted again.“Mr. Wright, you called?”“Yes, I called the first time, no response from you so I had to call your PA who informed you that you were busy with some work and so i called again,” Wright said.“He is right. I am creating a cart of our most expensive products for a client,” Kendrick explained why he didn't pick up his call the first time.“That's good,

    I have always believed that my mom and dad were the best couple. Most times, they had matching outfits on.Dad will always carry us, Mom, Ronald, and me, to the park every time he gets a chance. Dad was always careful not to offend Mom, and likewise, Mom.The attitude they displayed in front of Ronald and me sent an indirect message to us, especially me. Ronald and I were doing great in our academics, which a child wouldn't be anyway when they live in a peaceful home.I remember one time when Mom did something wrong and begged for Dad's forgiveness all night. I went on my knees with Mom too, to beg Dad.An hour later, Dad came out, looked at Mom, and I shouted, “Ta daa, we were playing!” I ran into my room angry and smiling because I didn't expect that to happen.Our family was the envy of everyone on our estate. One day at dinner, we were having my favorite spaghetti with grilled chicken when Ronald brought up a story his teacher told him in class.“Dad? Mom?” Ronald called.“Yes, so

Do I know you?” Kendrick looked at the young man in front of him.It can't be Javier. With the sound of Javier's voice, he concluded that Javier would be a huge tall guy but the person in front of him was so small and didn't sound like Javier.“Mr. Kendrick, I am Javier.”Kendrick looked at him again and just when he was about to say something he remembered Javier sent him a picture of himself.He picked up his phone to look for it while Javier waited quietly for him.

It was a monthly meeting where they shared what they had observed for the month while they put their heads together to find a solution.Rosy didn't want to attend because she was sketching a necklace but Jane pressured her to go as the Ceo.She finally agreed to go and with Jane behind her, they entered the hall where the meeting was taking place.Rosy sat on the empty chair she saw not wanting to disrupt the man, Mr. Richmond the Coo from talking.“I also overheard some people saying R.B. doesn't care about their workers. A worker has been sick and no alms were sent as it is in the rules of the company and that made us lose a very committed worker.”Mr. Richmond was angry, making him pour out his anger.“The checking of R.B. workers were allocated to someone, please signify.” Mr. Jack, the executive director asked.Everywhere went silent, nobody stood or said anything, just heads and eyes moving waiting for the person to respond.“

    Kendrick and Daniel came in less than an hour after Rosy called Kendrick.It was just her car still alone at the car park. She opened the car for them while Kendrick helped her to the passenger seat.Without being told what to do, Daniel turned the car toward the direction of R.B. Hospital while Kendrick called R.B. Hospital for an emergency.Immediately they got to the hospital, a wheelchair was brought to them to convey Rosy to Dr. Fred's office.She refused to open her eyes, she held her dress so tight despite her trembling hands and she kept muttering inaudible words.When they got to Dr. Fred's office, he examined her and quickly put her on treatment to calm her down.She became calm after some time but she still didn't want to open her eyes.“What happened?” Dr. Fred asked Kendrick.He knew Kendrick to be Rosy's husband but he didn't know the guy behind him.“We don't know, what she managed to say when she called was, everywhere is dark, R.B. parking lot, with that she ended the

    “I was attacked at the R.B. headquarters parking lot last night,” Rosy announced to Oswald and Mahon who were sitting in front of her.They were at a club very close to R.B. Hospital.

He didn't want to leave her alone until Rosy convinced him she was fine.She needed him to go out so she could speak with Mahon and Oswald. Before he left, she sent them a text.“I heard about it, but I couldn't come to see you since Kendrick was there,” Mahon stated.“How did you hear about it?” Rosy asked.“You were absent for no reason today and Kendrick was also not at his company.

    "Auny Rosy, please don't go, don't leave me, please." Lyon held Rosy's left leg, stopping her from walking.After Rosy announced her return to her home, Lyon had been moody and even cried at some point. Rosy didn't allow him to leave her sight, and he wasn't ready to leave her alone either.Rosy couldn't do anything because Lyon wanted her to marry him, which she had no choice but to do. Lyon slept in her arms, but when she tried to drop him on the bed, he would wake up and begin to cry.Rosy will calm him down, and he will sleep off again. They continued that way till Lyon finally slept deep, and Rosy could then arrange her things before she slept beside him.When it was morning, Rosy quickly got dressed, ready to leave because Lyon waking up would be a disaster. She got to the living room where Clara and Ronald were sadly waiting for her."But you can stay for a few more days, right?" Clara asked tears gathered in her eyes."I would have loved to, but I have been away from home for

    “Welcome, Aunt Rosy; I miss you.” Lyon, who was the first to see Rosy, welcomed her with a hug.When Rosy left, Lyon had been alone all day as no one played with him. He was tired of speaking with his parrot and had left it inside his room while he stayed in the living room waiting for no one.Ronald and Clara were both resting in their room, and Javier and Oswald were both working on something that was taking a lot of their time because they didn’t come out for breakfast.“Oh my little Champ, how are you?” Rosy hugged him and kissed him on his head.“I am fine but have been alone since you left. Everyone is busy, and no one has time for me.” Lyon complained, looking pitiful.Rosy felt a sharp pain in her heart when Lyon made his complaint. Lyon was just a child but was forced to live the life only an adult could live. No friends, he doesn’t go to school and he doesn’t go out freely to maybe see what the world looks like.“Very soon, Little Champ, you will have a lot of friends that y

    “I still need an explanation of how you pulled all these with Emma,” Rosy whispered before the waiter got to them.Kendrick laughed when he looked at Rosy, and her brow was arched. They made their orders, and when the waiter left to get it, Kendrick looked at Rosy, and again, she had arched her brow.Kendrick bent his head and chuckled lightly, but when Rosy cleared her throat, which showed she was serious, Kendrick then decided to open up.“I apologize again for not asking you out on this date directly, which is the appropriate way, but then, I wanted it to be a surprise. We have been close for a while now as working partners and as a couple, but I did mess up before, and I don’t want to act as if that never happened because I do not know if you have forgiven me. So please, allow me to ask, have you forgiven me?” Kendrick asked.Kendrick has a lot to unveil, and before he can freely do that, he needs to be very sure that Rosy has forgiven him, else he is wasting his time because what

    "Aunt Rosy, are you going to work today?” Lyon had entered Rosy’s room to ask her about her activity for the day.“No Champ, you have somewhere in mind you want me to accompany you to?” Rosy asked casually because she wasn’t expecting Lyon to have anywhere to go.“No, I just want to stay with you the whole day and tell you everything that happened while I was with Grandpa, Grandma, and Aunt Grace,” Lyon said looking around to be sure no one was eavesdropping on their conversation.“Lyon, are you serious when you said the whole day?” Rosy asked, her eyes almost popping out, to which Lyon nodded.Rosy had no idea that her little nephew could be a gist partner, but since she knows, then she was going to make good use of it.“You don’t want me to stay with you the whole day? Then I can stay for half a day.” Lyon said, advertising his skills.“Of course, I have missed you so much, and I would really love to enjoy your company for the whole day, but I will be going out later in the day, I h

    "Hmmm... Finally, back to Oxagon." Clara and Ronald said together after they stepped out of the plane.When they left the resort and were heading to Diavolo airport, they were already missing their experience there, especially the memories they created. Last night after dinner was packed with fun for them.They both ate themselves out till they were tired. The staff and the management of the resort bid them goodbye and also presented a gift to them. They were also taken to the airport by the resort driver and security."I wish we didn't have to leave so soon," Clara said.Ronald walked to her and wrapped his arm around her waist, "We are going back there again, and I promise, we will be spending more days there.""I know you will do that, but I miss Diavolo," Clara said, teary-eyed."Should we go back and then you will forget about being a model?" Ronald threatened although he was only joking.Clara jumped back, her lips slightly apart and her eyeballs almost popping out. "That's a cr

    When Rosy had fully rested, she woke up, and to her surprise, she had been sleeping for hours, and it was almost closing time.Kendrick was still there with her, gently stroking her hair and also playing a song that helped her sleep more. After a few minutes of being up and trying to process how she slept for that long, it dawned on her that she hadn't met with any clients.With her sleepy eyes, Rosy turned to Kendrick, who was looking at her while trying to massage his thigh with his hand, and said, "Why did I sleep for this long?""I also don't have any idea why, but all I can say is that you over-stressed yourself yesterday, and the night rest was not enough for your body, and that brings me to telling you again, you should rest more," Kendrick explained and advised."Okay, I will. What about the clients I was supposed to meet?" Rosy asked."About the client," Kendrick said with a small smile on his face and then continued, "They didn't come. Each of them sent a text with one excus

    “But Mine, that’s unfair. Don’t I deserve special treatment also? My sister had favored you more all through our stay here; did you both plan it?” Ronald asked with a frown on his face.He was angry and jealous of the fact that everything Rosy planned, while they stayed in the resort was for Clara’s happiness and not his. Yes, he was happy because Clara was happy and didn’t take it to heart, but hearing of the special dressing treatment, he was pained.Ronald was still finding it difficult to believe what Rosy had planned. If the planning of their stay was done by someone else, he wouldn’t be angry or sad, although he might be jealous, but Rosy knew all his likes and dislikes but didn’t consider any of them.“Firstly, I didn’t know she had all these in mind, and secondly, I am the newest member of the Brown family. I will be her only sister-in-law, and I also consider her needs too, so she is just treating me right.” Clara said.“I see. Now that you are a member of the Brown family, I

    “Chairman, please can I have a word with you? Please.” Mr. Piper requested, almost going down on his knees to plead with Rosy.Rosy rolled her eyes and turned to Mr. Piper who was still pleading. She stared at him for a few minutes and ushered him in without using words and Mr. Piper understood as he followed her into the company.They got to Rosy’s office but Kendrick was there already waiting for Rosy with a table set with different dishes. Rosy offered him a seat in the small space in her office before the main office and went in to meet and speak with Kendrick.“Hey Honey,” Rosy said.“Hello Wifey,” Kendrick responded.Kendrick didn’t realize immediately that Rosy had called him a pet name for the first time in a long time, but after he responded, he realized it, and with a smile on his face and a finger pointed at himself, he asked Rosy.“Wifey, did you just call me honey?”“Yes, I did. Should I take it back?” Rosy asked.“Hell no!” Kendrick almost yelled and continued, “I am jus

    Good morning, Wifey, still in bed?” Kendrick asked while on an early morning call with Rosy.Rosy had woken up earlier but had returned to sleep because she didn’t feel like getting up. The previous day was very stressful for her and it seems her body was yet to get the amount of rest it needed.She had slept a little longer after she woke up when Kendrick’s call came in. Rosy groaned when the shrill sound from her phone speaker woke her up. She checked the time because she thought and felt she had not slept for long when Kendrick’s call came in.Immediately she saw the time, she was shocked because after she woke up, she had slept for another three hours before Kendrick called but to her, it felt like she had barely slept. Still feeling sleepy, Rosy answered the call and from the lazy and sleepy sound she was making, Kendrick could tell she was still sleeping.“I woke up earlier but was still too tired to get up, so I slept back,” Rosy explained to Kendrick as she answered his questi
