35 - I'm leaving you..
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Griffin returned home from seeing Penelope around midnight to meet an empty apartment. He already knew Mercedes moved out with Angie before finding the note. It was expected, much to his dismay.
A sense of loneliness flung him. He was too used to Mercedes being home when he returned that her absence for a week upset him. He missed her so much but thought it wise not to call her. He will see her tomorrow after his final interview. It was better to apologize face to face.
He woke up very early and prepared for the interview. He wore the suit Mercedes bought for him from her trip, much to his shame. It was as if she predicted he was going to need a new one. Mercedes' ways made him question if she was an angel.
When he arrived for the interview, he realized he was the only one. J & J Estates was well known as the best in the real estate business in NY. This was his third interview for a position he hasn't been told but what encouraged him to come

Mercedes jumped out of bed, unlocking the door. As soon as she opened it, she collided with Griffin with a force so strong, they almost fell. She still missed him even though he hurt her feelings but she would take Nathan's advice, and not poke her nose into his relationship matters anymore. The hug lasted for over a minute before Griffin whispered, "She left me Merce, I should have believed you. Can you forgive me?" It wasn't what Mercedes expected to hear and she was saddened. Why wasn't she happy? She always wanted Griffin to herself and now, without Penelope, who she also wanted out of the picture, it was a perfect opportunity but she didn't see it that way. Her best friend was hurting so she was hurting too. "I forgave you a long time ago," she comforted him while pulling him to her bedroom. "Nice place," Griffin remarked. Mercedes thought to not say a word since it's Nathan's gift and Griffin didn't like him. As silence descended for a while, Grif
Mr President's Wild Obsession 37 - Promise me, please
Hearing Nathan's voice, Jane quickly loosed her grip on Mercedes's hair, running to Nathan for shelter but he moved before she reached him. Disappointment clouded her but replaced it with a smile. She couldn't let Mercedes win. "This good for nothing bitch would not allow me to wait for you in your office," she complained. Nathan frowned, as crisps of anger meandered through him, he said with gritted teeth, "her name is Mercedes. I won't have you address my staff in that manner." Then he turned to Mercedes. His heart sunk at her dishevelled form and red marks on her cheeks. He hated for anyone to harm her but he couldn't show emotions at the moment and quickly said, my apologies, Miss Winters," Mercedes had so much to ask but she had to be patient. After all, she was the one who ended it. "It's fine, Mr Legend," she excused herself and went to the washroom to put herself together. "Nat, so you are going to take her side?" Jane was embarrassed with how Nathan
Mr President's Wild Obsession 38 - Spend the night with me
His eyes bored into hers pleadingly, as he held her close in his arms. He wanted her and she wanted him but if another woman had the ring, and she had his heart, what happens in the future? Why couldn't he take back his ring and end things with Jane? The more Mercedes thought about it, the more uneasy she felt. Seeing she hadn't given him a response, Nathan asked again. "You ain't gonna leave me are you?" He was nervous. Nathan Legend was nervous and scared of rejection. Well, every man had a breaking point. Mercedes was going to let him off so easily. She wasn't ready to be a Thanksgiving turkey. "That depends. I can't be with you in secret while another woman carries herself as your fiance. You have to choose." Nathan's grip tightened around her waist. "No, I only have one woman and that is you but I can't leave Jane because.." Mercedes felt too weak to hold it in. Why was it so easy when Griffin introduced Penelope but with Nathan, she was be
Mr President's Wild Obsession 39 - Divorce, why?
After Jane stormed out of the office, the first thing she did was call Nathan's dad, explaining everything to him. As expected, Mr Alexander Legend was furious and when he put a call through to Nathan, the latter didn't answer. Therefore, instead of returning to Spain, he stayed back, unknown to Nathan. He had also arranged a spare key to Nathan's penthouse for Jane but surprisingly when she got there, the door wasn't locked. Besides, there was an unexpected presence. The lights were on, and there was a laptop on the centre table. "Nat, are you back?" She called out, knowing how impossible it was because she had left Nathan at the office but, who else could be in his house, except she was in the wrong place. Her heart sank when Lanre descended the stairs from Nathan's room, with a towel wrapped around his waist, his hair dripping wet. "What are you doing here?" she inquired. Disappointment and discontentment nudging her. She knew Lanre but wasn't happy to see h
Mr President's Wild Obsession 40 - No, I'm in love
Well, Nathan wasn't surprised. His father had access to his office but Nathan hated intrusion. His father might have connections somewhat dishonest but Nathan could still bring them down if he wanted. There was just one thing stopping him from fighting back. Respect. "Dad, I demand you request my permission before showing up in my office," Nathan tried to be polite while Mercedes looked for ways to escape the awkward atmosphere. Jane was roasting with Mercedes' presence and if she had her way, she would cover her with fuel and strike a matches to set her ablaze. Mercedes realized that Nathan only had his fathers' hair therefore, his other handsome features might have come from his mum. His dad was also good looking but Nathan stood out. Nathan's father's hot gaze burned her even as he addressed Nathan. "I would have if you had answered your phone." For as long as he was concerned, Mercedes was the one turning his son against him and he hated her f

"She's my best friend and I love her," Griffin gulped down a glass of fruit juice.Angie stopped eating and folded her arms to her chest, giving him a quizzical look. "You know what I'm talking about."Griffin found Angie's gaze on him so intense, he couldn't hide it. "Please don't tell her," he finally said.Now it was Angie's turn to feel a twitch in her heart. She thought she had gotten over her feelings for Griffin, only to realise it was just covered, to be uncovered. "Now we are keeping secrets.""Please I don't want you to tell her before I do," Griffin begged her."How long have you been in love with her?""I don't know. I guess I always have. I just haven't realized it because,""Penelope kept you occupied?""Perhaps. Everything between me and Penelope has been sex. I just realized we didn't have a connection. I couldn't even cry when she left me. I guess I wasn't as pained as when Nathan took Mercedes' first tim
Mr President's Wild Obsession 42 - Deadly Nathan
Mercedes heard a knock on her door as soon as she entered her office from Nathans'. She opened it to see a tall handsome man with curly dirty blonde hair, hazel eyes. From how formally dressed he was, she could tell he was here to see Nathan. Before she welcomed him, he extended his hand, "Luke Zion, the new vice president and you are?" "Mercedes Winters, assistant to the president," she smiled and responded. "You must be the first. The Nathan I know doesn't accept female assistants." Mercedes already knew that. "Well, lucky me. I will let him know that you are here," Mercedes said after letting him in and shutting the door. "Let me save you the trouble," Luke was saying when, "Luke," Nathan seethed. Neither Mercedes nor Luke could tell for how long he had been there. "Nathan, we finally met again and got to work together," Luke bloomed with excitement. Nathan turned dismal, "I'm not your friend and will never be. Our r
Mr President's Wild Obsession 43 - Blessed with two beautiful women
Mercedes had gotten used to Nathan purchasing everything she wore therefore, she wasn't surprised they were delivered but what she didn't expect was Griffin sending her a parcel for the occasion as well. His message was simple. 'You've done this for me for as long as I can remember. Please wear this to make me happy tonight.' Her mind was plagued with confusion. Griffin had sent an outfit for Angie as well therefore, it was just natural for Angie to insist that she wore the dress Griffin got her. However, Mercedes knew that Nathan would be displeased. She hadn't seen Griffin in a while and still had the friendship bond with him. She bought him so many clothes and he was just returning a favour. Well, Mercedes hatched a master plan with Angie's help. Life was full of so many incidences but it was also believed, that there was nothing like a coincidence. Everything was already pre-programmed and whatever will be will be. It wasn't a shocker that the qualifying companie

“You must be so dumb to think you are entitled to anything. Those vows I exchanged with you were not from my heart, and the name on the marriage certificate was Linda, not Lily. From how I see it, you were just a stand-in bride,” Oliver said heartlessly.Tears rolled down Lily’s cheeks. Indeed, her brain was not smart enough to think in that direction.“But it’s my picture. You are just lying and will never find Linda.”“I already did,” Oliver said with a smile. “How did I know your real name then? Did you think about that?” Oliver asked with a menacing glare. Lily was heartbroken.“But I wanted you.”Now Randy was getting upset and chipped in. “It was just for the money.”“Shut up, Randy. It's your fault. How could you lose track of her?” She asked bitterly.

Earlier, Lily received a call from Randy. “Lily, I need to see you urgently.”“What is the matter? Where is Linda?” She asked, wondering why Randy was still calling her. Shouldn't he have slept with her sister like she told him already?“Lily, I can’t talk on the phone,” Randy said seriously, “I’m coming to see you.”“What about Linda? Who will give her the next dosage? Besides, Oliver’s security men would not let you inside the house,” Lily asked and said worriedly, afraid that her sister would regain her memory when she hadn’t made any headway with Oliver.“I’m coming,” Randy said and ended the call. Lily was so disturbed and could not sleep until the security informed her.“Are you expecting any Ruby?”Lily was confused for a moment before it occurred to her what was happening,

“Doesn’t this look familiar, Linda?” Oliver asked, but Linda was feeling strange and confused as she stood at the door, looking at the man in the suit.She could not understand the reason for the romantic setup when her manager had said that the man in this room wanted to see her.“I’m Chloe,” she corrected, not understanding why he kept addressing her as Linda. Perhaps he was mistaking her for somebody else.Oliver rose from the bed, walking to her as he held her by the hand, leading her to the table. It was the same setup as their first time, as he hoped it would remind her of something.The touch of his hand on hers caused a strange fire to spark inside of her, making her wonder who exactly he was.“Who are your parents?” Oliver asked as he pulled the chair for her. Linda pressed her hand against her forehead, feeling dizzy all of a sudden.&

The day before, Linda woke up in a strange room with a man sitting beside her. “Where am I?” she asked, confused as she couldn't recall anything.The man smiled. “You are in your room. You weren't feeling well, so I came to check on you.”“Who are you?” she asked. The man smiled.“You don’t remember me? I’m your boyfriend,” he said. Linda frowned imperceptibly. Though she couldn't remember a thing, she felt no attraction to the man.“What’s your name?”“Seriously? Randy. Come on, you have to go to work,” he said. Linda was at a loss.“Work? Where?”“You work as a waiter at the hotel. I already took permission for you, so don’t be late.”Linda felt a pang of a headache coming on as she tried to remember something but everything seemed blurry to her.

Gwen hoped it was another surprise for her best friend and would do it even without Oliver’s help with her brother."With what? Did she not like the honeymoon surprise? You wouldn’t be here if she did," Gwen said worriedly, forgetting her own troubles.She was hoping that this night would be the best for Linda but due to the news about her brother, she wasn’t thinking straight.Oliver was more convinced that she did not know but decided to test her, just in case."The woman I married isn’t your best friend, true or false?"Gwen gasped, shock lacing her voice.

Earlier that night, the middle-aged couple were startled by a knock on their door around midnight.It was Linda and Lily’s father, Stephen Ross, who went to answer the door, annoyed that his sleep was disrupted.Upon seeing their eldest daughter, he furrowed his brow, still groggy from sleep. “Lily, why aren’t you sleeping?” he asked, sounding annoyed.Everyone was eager to rest before the big day, and the unexpected visit was unwelcome.However, Lily was determined to carry out her plan.“Dad, Linda is unconscious, and she won’t wake up for another twenty-four hours.

The night of the wedding.“Linda, every girl must have a bridal shower,” Lily suggested, but Linda was not interested, knowing how much of a beast Oliver was in bed.She would rather have her beauty rest and save enough energy for their honeymoon.“No. I’m not in the mood,” she politely rejected the idea.She didn’t have friends, so even if she wanted to have a bridal shower, it would just be with pretentious people trying to worm their way into her life because her status changed for the better.Unfortunately for her, Lily was not willing to give up on getting her to have that bridal shower.All her plans had failed so far, and if this also failed, then she would lose her chances of having Oliver like she wanted.As such, she thought of a way of making Linda more comfortable. Gwen was supposed to come very early in the morning because the weddin

“Did you forget that we have to hang out after work?” Andrew let down his guard for the sake of Linda and asked, disappointment lacing his tone.There was so much he wanted to discuss with Oliver but also had to come to terms with the fact that things were slowly beginning to change.Oliver was unregretful as he explained, “Sorry. My woman comes first. You should go spend time with your woman too.”Andrew looked gloomy at the mention of his woman but did not respond. It would have been easier to explain if Linda wasn’t there, but since she was, he had to wait for another day, which he could not see happening.In two weeks, Oliver was going to get married and would go for a week honeymoon.Surely, all his free time would belong to his wife after that, so Andrew did not have a part in the life of his best friend anymore.They were both very busy, and Friday nights

I dreamed of that special day ever since I met you and with all the people invited, everything has to be top-notch.”Linda, as much as she felt like he was spending too much, understood the silent message that there were levels of life that prevented the likes of Oliver to come down to her level of expenditure.All she had to do was climb his high
