Darlington Briggs:

After the maids left us, my mother waited for Samara to join us for dinner at the table. My mother inquired, "Darlington, how about Jenna? I hope you're calling her?"

"Yes, Mom. I did," I replied, looking away and staring at my meal while Samara approached and settled beside my mother.

"Is Amara not joining us for dinner?" Samara asked as she sat down. My mother replied before I could, "No. I had warned her not to sit here with me and have her dinners. She's not my daughter-in-law, and I only tolerated her before because your father was around. Amara isn't welcomed here, and the best we can do is to treat her badly so that she can leave."

"Okay," Samara said, not looking happy. I asked her, "What's wrong, sister?"

"Nothing, I was only asking about her," Samara said. I knew she had some other things to say, but she didn't want to discuss it in our mother's presence.

"Okay, let's eat now," I replied, and my mother blessed the meals. I saw the maid returned downstairs

    Darlington Briggs;I stepped into my sitting room and saw that Amara was asleep on the couch. I knew she was exhausted from our first lovemaking, and I honestly had made the right decision.I liked Amara, and I cannot say I'm in love with her as I had been hard on her. But I truly do like her. I admired her sleeping form, then not wanting to wake her up. I walked up to the bedroom door and unlocked it, then carefully carried Amara to our room and laid her on the bed.I admired her sexy pink lips that I had kissed before, and caressed her lips. I desired to have her once more. "Mmmm," Amara mumbled and pulled me closely before her eyes flung open and she sprang up on the bed."What are you trying to do?" Amara asked me shyly and I replied, "Admiring my wife.""Hmm," Amara blushed and despite my room bulb being dimly lit blue, I could still see Amara's blushing face."Hmm, what? Ain't you my wife again? Honestly, I am not satisfied and you know I don't get satisfied with eating only one

    Amara Nicholas.After Darlington left home, I went to have my bath and pondered on his request for me not to encounter his mother. I stepped out of the bathroom and wore my casual blue top and brown skirt. I went to the sitting room and saw a maid was already there, cleaning it up."Good morning, ma." The maid greeted me, and I replied to her, "Morning." I walked away to sit on the couch, observing the maid arranging the cushions properly on the remaining couch. She cleared her cleaning equipment, leaving the sitting room. As there was power supply, I embarked on switching on the television.It was morning, so I decided to keep myself company by watching a movie. However, my fun was interrupted when Mrs. Ifeoma arrived. She knocked on the sitting room door and entered in her brown long gown."Good morning, ma," I greeted her. Mrs. Ifeoma looked at me angrily. She inquired, "Why are you just sitting down there? Stand up and assist the maids in doing something meaningful and useful."I

    Amara's POV."Good evening, Amara, how are you doing?" My aunt, Mrs. Juliet inquired. Smiling, I replied, "I'm fine, aunt. How are Bella and Olivia doing?""All fine. Your mother told me that you're doing well over there in the city. But I decided to give you a call by myself to find out," Aunt Juliet says."Yes, Aunt. I am good. How's home and work?" I inquired to which she responded, "All good. Please take good care of yourself, okay. When Bella comes to the city, she will come to visit you, to keep you company.""Okay, aunt. I will be expecting her visit," I said. I didn't want to bother telling my aunt of the challenges that I am facing in the Briggs mansion. That was unnecessary going into details about my challenge as it would only heighten her worries about me."Okay, dear. Take good care of yourself, okay? Goodbyes," Aunt Juliet said, and the phone call ended.I kept my phone, not wanting to surf the internet to know what was trending. I lay back on the bed and succumbed to sl

    Darlington's POV.I couldn't believe Amara would be bold enough to announce to my mother that I touched her. When I was at our branch companies and received a phone call from my mother. I wonder why she sounded so urgent, demanding that I must return to our abode. I had to explain to her that I wasn't around and when I return home, we can sort out the matter. I knew it was about Amara. My mother doesn't like her and Amara is clearly stubborn as I advised her to keep her distance away from my mother.I was afraid for my mother not to develop a heart attack because of me. I couldn't admit it to her face that I like Amara, even though it was what I was supposed to do. I held myself from admitting the truth and for the first time in my life, I had to lie to my mother even when I meet her gaze. I should have known Amara would disclose the truth.I remember that I didn't use any protection on Amara, but that shouldn't be my mother's concern at the moment to avoid her passing out because of

    Darlington's POV."What are you trying to do?" Amara asked me as she lay on the bed while I hovered above her."Something I will miss if you leave here," I said."But you just told your mother now that we didn't do anything and you would keep your distance away from me? So, you're a liar, right?" Amara asked me as she tried to sit up on my bed."No. I am not lying to you, nor do I look like a liar?" I asked, biting her left finger warmly as I let go and held her back to lay on the bed."Don't you want me?" I asked. Amara blushed and replied, "I used to, but not anymore. Let me go before your mother or sister would catch us in bed.""They wouldn't, I will be gentle. Please.." I begged and Amara looked at me in stunned disbelief."No! For the fact that you told a lot of lies in my presence and also to your mother. I don't trust you anymore, and I have to be careful with you. Where's the protection that you told your mother you used on me the last time?" Amara asked, just as her eyes sea

    Amara's POV:I settled into one of the guest rooms and arranged my box to fit into the wardrobe. It was already past 8 pm, and after I was through arranging my box, I heard a knock on the door, while a maid arrived with a tray of food."Good evening, Mr. Darlington said I should give it to you," the maid said, while I collected the tray and closed the room door behind me. I locked it, as I didn't want to encounter Darlington or his mother.I went to sit in the single white couch in the room. The room was very spacious and had a bed covered in a cream bedspread. "This is what I should have done since," I mused and stared at the tray of food covered.I set it aside on a stool and resumed eating. While I was engrossed in eating the food, it dawned on me that I didn't take my phone when I was leaving Darlington's bedroom, and if I returned there, it might seem like I was trying to gain his attention again.I mused and decided to eat my dinner first. The room had a wide flat-screen televis

    Amara Nicholas!"What do you want again?!" I almost yelled out, but Darlington immediately covered my lips with his hand and pulled me into my bedroom, shutting the door behind me. He pressed me against the door and replied, "You know what I wanted. I couldn't sleep in my bed, without thinking about you."I tried to free myself from Darlington's masculine grip. He leaned closer to me and kissed me on my neck. "Just stop!" Before I could say anything else, Darlington's hot lips captured mine and weakened my resolve, and he carried me passionately to the bed. I became too weak to protest. I wanted him, so I didn't bother to stop him again as he was wearing only a white night robe and his shorts.With the speed of light, Darlington took off his robe and tossed it aside on my bed. He stripped himself and came to assist me in stripping off my nightgown. I was supposed to protest, knowing that Darlington was in an affair that he didn't want to end. Not only that, whatever he says to me at t

    Amara Nicholas,I smirked and replied to Samara who entered my room, "I don't have time to argue with you. Please, excuse me."My face was blushing red as I exited the guest room and asked the maid where the gym was. The young maid directed me, and I arrived there to meet Darlington exercising.I watched him doing some push-up exercises while laying on the yoga mat spread on the tiled floor. Darlington rose to his feet, grabbing a bottle of water. He walked up to meet me and stopped."Aren't you exercising? I noticed you haven't been exercising since you arrived here," he said, and I blushed, moving away from him to look for a chair to sit, while I admire their gym."I didn't know you guys have a gym. I will put that into consideration and get some gym wears like tights and a singlet."As I was discussing with Darlington and admiring most of the exercise equipment that was in the room, Samara knocked on the door and came in. She was still in her white nightgown like me."Brother, did

    Jenna Colton. "Huh!" My jaw dropped as I saw Collins with a golden ring, down on one knee in front of everyone, proposing to me. We stood in the hallway, not disturbing the others who had come for emergency treatment. Since it was no longer clinic hours, the hospital was less crowded than it usually was in the morning when a lot of outpatients filled the lobby and hallways. "Aww!" My eyes welled up with tears as I saw some fans pulling out their phones to record me. They awaited my response, and since I wanted to get out of the hospital ward quickly, I said yes, knowing that this was a new chapter of my life. Since Collins was ready to marry me, not minding my flaws and wanting to have me as his wife, I had to accept his ring. So I told him, "Yes. I accept." Collins slipped the engagement ring onto my left finger, and tears of joy welled up in my eyes as I hugged him heartily just as he rose. He was taller than me, and he didn't press to kiss me. We just hugged. "Congratulations

I went back downstairs, entered my car, and drove home.My phone rang in the car, but I was in no mood to pick it up.I cried as I found my way home. Soon, I arrived at my father's compound and wanted to drive in, but I recalled my mother would be at home. I then navigated the car and drove to the hospital to see my father.I arrived at the hospital where my father was admitted. I parked my car in the parking lot, and my phone rang again.I wanted to ignore the call as my crying could have made my voice break, and I didn't want to inform my mother about it or make her aware of my broken heart.I took up my handkerchief, wiped my face, and finally got out of the car as I proceeded into the hospital to check with th

    **Jenna Colton** I awoke in my room to a fresh start of a new day. I decided to visit Darlington at his company to see him directly, rather than just talking over the phone as we had been trying to do. I knew that Darlington had blocked me, but I still wanted to see him. It had been a week since Darlington told me off and asked me to move on, but I didn’t want to adhere to it. Also, Lily’s brother had invited me to one of his clubs to meet with him, but I didn’t want to visit him. I desired to meet with Darlington first to know if there was still any hope of our relationship rekindling. After finishing my bath, I got out of the bathroom and dressed in a blue sleeveless dress, wanting to look pretty as I paired it with black shoes. I stepped out of my closet and went to adjust my hair in front of my room mirror. I wanted to look presentable before Darlington, so I exited the house, holding onto my car key and my black purse. So far, my father had been improving in his health, but

    Amara's POV:I awoke in the bedroom to a brand new morning, and Darlington was preparing to leave for his office. I hadn't expected the wedding gift he bought for me the previous night. I thought he was trying to reconnect with his ex, but he proved me wrong by telling me he had blocked Jenna and didn't want to have anything to do with her again.I smiled as I observed Darlington stepping out of the bathroom and walking up to the luxurious king-sized bed to meet me.He sat on the bed, water dripping from his wet hair, and drew nearer to me. "How are you and my baby doing?""I'm fine; our baby and I are good," I replied, a cute blush on my face. Darlington smiled and said, "That's good. I'm going to the office today. You remember that your dad wants to partner with me. Although he mentioned he would like you to be present, he hasn't spoken about the date for signing the partnership deal.""Does my dad want to come and visit us?" I asked Darlington as I watched him dry off his wet mascu

    Jenna's POV:"Seriously, Jenna. You're very funny. Do you know that my brother has been your fan since forever? He really likes you and told me that you're his kind of woman. Hot and spicy," Lily teased me."That's enough of the teasing, Lily," I shouted at her. "I know you want me to move on from Darlington too, but I guess you haven't honestly been in love.""Oh, really? Tell me what love is all about," Lily inquired. I shook my head and went to pack my handbag that my younger sister, Rita, had brought from home."I don't have time to teach you about love. But I know what I want, and what I want, I shall get."Lily's eyes widened as I looked at her, and she burst out laughing once more. "Hahaha, how do you plan to win Darlington back? Tell me. Do you intend to kidnap him and force him to marry you, or do you want to harm his wife and eliminate her to have Darlington all to yourself now?"I paused packing my handbag and looked back at Lily's face."None of the suggestions. I know wha

    Jenna's POV:I was still in the hospital, awaiting discharge. Although my father's health had improved and he had been moved from the intensive care unit after waking up, he suffered from a stroke that impaired his left hand and left leg. The doctor informed us that, with time, my father would improve as the stroke didn't affect his vocal cords.I was saddened by this fact as I waited for Darlington, who had promised to show up. However, he didn't. I called his phone several times, but it was switched off.As it got late, I was free to move around my hospital ward. The doctor had treated me after I fainted, so I was no longer confined to the bed. I called Darlington again, knowing he would have closed from his office as it was already past 6 PM. However, Darlington phoned me and told me that he didn't want to have anything to do with me anymore and that he was now dedicated to his wife, Amara.I couldn't believe what Darlington was saying. I knew he was now officially married to Amara

    Darlington's POV:"What's wrong, babe?" I asked Amara as I entered our shared bedroom. She didn't reply and instead walked back to the bed to lie down. She wore a long white nightdress and laid on her side, ignoring me and not welcoming me.I frowned, looking from my wife to my briefcase in my hands and the gift I had bought for her.It crossed my mind that she was sad, thinking I went to spend precious time with Jenna when I had been working hard in my office, sitting for hours in my executive chair and focusing on some projects. I would have felt more guilty if I had actually gone to see Jenna, especially since I had switched off my phone after I told her I wouldn’t be able to meet her."Babe," I called Amara's attention as I carefully dropped my briefcase on the couch in our cozy bedroom. I walked over to the bed covered with a white mattress to meet Amara."Babe," I said, sitting on the bed beside her, but she turned to the other side to look away from me, not wanting to speak.I
