44 - Stop giving other men attention
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56The music had changed and Nathan was holding Mercedes so close, she naturally relaxed, her head was on his chest. Griffin was dancing with Angie but couldn't control his spite, moving Angie away from the dance floor, to the garden to talk instead. Jane was boiling like a pot of soup. She couldn't concentrate on the dance steps and kept stepping on Luke, who kept swallowing the pain and forcing awkward smiles.
"You know you shouldn't be dancing with me right?" Mercedes lifted her head and asked Nathan, staring into his eyes.
Nathan was so smitten, he couldn't keep to the rules of not being seen in public. He dared the outcome. "I could have controlled it if only you stopped doing things to make me jealous." Mercedes pulled away slightly to check his facial expression. It was indeed serious. She didn't know that Nathan would be so jealous of Griffin.
But why should she feel guilty? Was it her fault that she couldn't be seen with him in public and couldn't appea

Mercedes felt triumphant, as she sat in her car and drove to the penthouse. Griffin and Angie were still sleeping but her presence woke them. "Where did you go?" Griffin asked, seeing her dressed casually with her car key in hand. "To see Nathan," she said truthfully. Griffin was furious. "After all, he did to you?" He didn't hide the anger in his voice but was amazed when he heard her next words. "I ended things with him. Here," she pressed the dollar note into Griffin's palm. Both Griffin and Angie were shocked. Nathan Legend let her go without any conditions. Perhaps he would accept and marry Jane after all. "So you'll return the car and we have to move out of here?" Angie asked. Mercedes hadn't thought about that. She was so hasty. If she pulled out of the deal, then she should naturally return his gifts, right? Thinking through everything was so exhausting. "I will return it but not today. I need to sleep." She sat on the bed when Griffin
Mr President's Wild Obsession 46 - Are you putting yourself in voluntary slavery?
Some people are known to strive through every challenge easily, making others think they were superhuman. Everyone had a breaking point but it depended on what could trigger them to that point. Mercedes must have triggered Nathans'. She saw him be so strong, forgetting he was human with emotions just like her. She never understood that whenever her heartbeat once, Nathans' doubled. The day he held her hand to his chest, he wanted her to read the beat, that it matched hers but she missed it.That night when she left him in a vulnerable state, Nathan hoped that she wouldn't leave but when he heard the door shut, he knew it was over. Everyone was different, with a different fate. Some people were opportune with multiple partners to choose from but some were only destined with one. Mercedes was like the candle that lit his heart, bringing it out of the dark tunnel.Unfortunately, she also became the cold air that blew out the candle of his heart. Nathan couldn't take it. H
Mr President's Wild Obsession 47 - You are giving up the company for your Misstress?
Mercedes' mending of her affair with Nathan seemed like a breakthrough to him. He needed to take care of a few things in NL Towers but with his father and Luke being around, he couldn't leave things in the hands of either of them.He couldn't also represent both companies. Whereas, e could leave Mercedes to be his eyes and ears in Legend Incorporated but how could he leave her with a ravenous wolf like Luke?His move during the dinner told Nathan that his warning didn't sit well with him, which left him with the hard choice of making Mercedes travel alone to NL Towers. He trusted her enough to handle his company anyway. Besides, she was soon going to be co-owner so she had to handle it like it's hers.The last time they were there together, her suggestions were great. Mercedes agreed wholeheartedly on the condition that she was allowed to spend two days with her mum and brother which Nathan agreed to.Well, the greatest fear for Nathan sending her a
Mr President's Wild Obsession 48 - Just promise me one thing
Mercedes could feel her heart still. It wasn't in the plan for Nathan to pick her at the hangar. He wasn't even supposed to be here. She was supposed to have a good time with her mom and brother. Was he breaking up with her? Was that why he sent her away?" If so then why would he entrust her with high company responsibility? It didn't make sense and also didn't add up. "I can take anything Nat, just spit it," she said in earnestness. Nathan didn't know where to start from but it had to be from somewhere. "You have to know that the doctors did all they could to save him." Instantly, Mercedes' mind travelled to her brother. But he said he was fine the last time they spoke a few days ago. What could have gone wrong? "Oliver?" Her heart pleaded against it. "No, your dad." Relief washed over Mercedes just as the understanding sank in. "What?...No! He can't be dead. No!" All this while, she had remained strong, taking up the responsibility of fendin
Mr President's Wild Obsession 49 - You are mentally deprived, your brain cells lack nutrition
"What is that?" Nathan asked seriously. If it was within his power, he would fulfil her promise. "Make sure he rots in prison for all he put me through. When he found out I was pregnant, he started acting all nice, when in actual fact, every drink he gave me was spiked with something to make me miscarry. Please let him pay. One more thing. It was the same means they used to make Sarah miscarry, thrice till she got tired and got her tubes tied. He works well with Betty." Nathan was horrified at the revelation. His father had been drinking and dining with enemies he thought were his friends but he couldn't feel pity for his dad. Rather, he felt sorry for Clarisse and Sarah. He would make Luke and Betty pay. "Thanks for telling me. I will still do as I want for you to be comfortable," he said and left. He was broken by the time he got back to the penthouse and it was getting late but he drove them to the mansion he had arranged. Having Sarah with him proved wort
Mr President's Wild Obsession 50 - Mr President, on your knees for the woman you love
It was past midnight but Nathan couldn't take his eyes off the woman lying gloriously naked beside him. Events from the first time they met flooded his mind, bringing tears to his eyes. How could he have known that this woman would become a great pillar in his life and hold the key to his happiness, bringing him out of that ice fortress he built around himself? One whose needs and wants mattered to him more than his. One who could make him travel the world or dive into the sea, just to retrieve whatever she wanted. He loved her so much, much to obsession. He had her but he still wanted her to be his, to fulfil her every desire, to give her the joy that she deserved. They finished making love barely an hour ago and she fell asleep but merely staring at her, he turned hard. He didn't want to disturb her sleep but he couldn't resist her as well. He trailed his finger through her spine gently, as if to not wake her. He began placing soft kisses on her back, his hands tra
Mr President's Wild Obsession 51 - Love cannot be forced
Jane's words were so urgent, Nathan couldn't contemplate but he was certain he heard her mention his son. Instantly, he dropped his cutlery, his neck turning to Mercedes. She was calm. "You can go," she uttered without a look at him.Jane was giving Nathan the chance to see the boy she had used to torment him these two years. She hoped the truth would be revealed as Nathan went with Jane."No, you are coming with me, "Nathan yanked her before she could say no. Alexander, Betty and Sarah followed suit. For as long as Alexander and Sarah knew, something was happening to their grandson and they needed to be there for him.Nathan rode with Mercedes, while Alexander rode with Sarah. Betty with Jane. "You fool, couldn't you have just excused yourself? Why did you have to bring him along?"Betty chastised her daughter. She already lost Alexander and her only way was to use her daughter to get revenge on him. To cause them pain. The pain of keeping fr

“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. Oliver shook his head.If no

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. "Honestly, I’m confused."For all she knew. Linda was the one she prepared for the wedding but then, was that the reason for Oliver’s strange behavior?She never met

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. Even then, she won’t remember anything,” Lily revealed, feigning concern, but her father sensed something was amiss.This news was troubling, and he was not prepared fo
Mr President's Wild Obsession 69 – How it all happened
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
Mr President's Wild Obsession 68 – Not feeling the special bond
“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

Linda was slightly uncomfortable with the change in his demeanor but knew one thing for sure. “You are my fiancé.”This man proposed to her unexpectedly, also making a public declaration of how much he loved her over the phone to her peers, in spite of his status in the corporate world.Her response removed all the worry he felt when he pulled over, as a smile replaced the frown from before.He then thought of another way to send the message he wanted to give her across.“And I also like to enjoy the fruit of my labor. 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
