Bianca bade Jonah goodbye as he left the apartment, she sighed in relief and turned back to the male god cooking up her kitchen.. This was the first time she had seen him so concentrated on something.. Her lips made a little slant to the side which vanished completely when he raised his head to her... She moved to stand by his side watching him chop the tomatoes skillfully, a look of surprise crossed her face.. Guys from rich home Cook? she questioned herself.. according to her research what they were always good at was flirting with girls, throwing lavish parties and drinking their guts out.. "So he's just a neighbor right?" Xander asked pulling her attention back to him, she met his gaze with a confused expression.. "Uh..you mean Jonah?" He gave a firm nod.. "Oh..yeah he is, but more like family.." she continued.. Xander sighed inwardly, for a moment there, he thought Jonah was probably a guy interested in her... He ran the back of his palm over his left cheek
The door to a black Bentley rolled up in front of an old building, the door opened as a lady on dark shades stepped out of it.. She walked in graceful steps to the tall and rough looking men standing in front of the building, they gave a small bow acknowledging her presence.. One of the guards standing behind her held a briefcase on his left hand while he stood behind his young miss.. The shades came off her face revealing her deep set of brown orbs.. "Miss Brown..we've been expecting you" Rihanna made a hand gesture to the guard standing behind her, on getting what she meant by doing that, he walked over to the man handing the briefcase over to him.. "That's the part payment, you know what to do, don't you?" Rihanna inquired with a raised brow only for them to shake their heads foolishly.. She suddenly had a feeling that this men would eventually turn out useless just like long beard did.. "Are you that stupid or you're doing this just to annoy me?! I explained the p
Footsteps approaching the room was enough to pique Tracy and Bruce's attention, they turned to the direction to see Rihanna hurrying in looking pissed off about something... "You're back, where were you?" Tracy inquired rising up to her feet, her worrisome gaze searched through her daughter looking for any single thing that could give the latter away.. As arrogant as Rihanna was, she walked past the duo who were expecting questions from her only to be blocked by Asher who just popped out of nowhere.. "I guess you were asked a question" He imputed taking steps forward to her while she backed away from him.. And just like that, he was able to get her to their midst effortlessly.. She corked a brow at their outrageous behavior, she was no longer a kid for them to question about her whereabouts.. "What do you all mean by this? don't I have freedom to move as I please?" "You and I know very well that your movement has infact been restricted by Damien until further notice, and
Becky took a sharp breath as she got out of her car and looked around at her peaceful surroundings, which was not exactly empty because some guards were hanging around. She had been debating meeting Charles today for a long time when she finally decided to do so. The last time she was drunk at the bar, he saved her because she saw him with another woman and made the stupid decision to get wasted. She had always secretly admired him, but because she was overweight during her college years, he never gave her a second glance. Actually, no guy ever did; she was constantly made fun of, which nearly sent her into a deep depression. Her determination to have him be hers was unwavering, and she left the country only to return a few years later looking completely different. She would make him notice her this time. She gave her car's key to a bodyguard who was waiting nearby. She strolled over to the building and said, "Park the car well." She was secretly anxious because of w
Bianca dried her hands with the hand towel, she had just finished washing the dishes.. She turned back heading to the living room where Xander sat waiting for her, he didn't notice her coming towards him because he was focused at something on his phone.. She took the seat next to him with a fair amount of space between them.. "Umm.. you're done?.." "Yeah..I thought you were going to see a friend" Xander kept his phone aside and faced her with an arched brow, right after he had mentioned meeting 'a friend' to her, she had been trying to get him to say more.. "If you want to ask me something else, then go ahead.." he urged.. "No..I was just reminding you about your- "You want to know if my friend is actually a guy or a lady?" He asked curtly and for a second, he could swear that he saw surprise flash past her eyes.. Indeed she was surprised at his direct hit on the question that had been revolving around her mind since he mentioned his 'friend'.. Given his nature,
A figure stood in front of a window gazing at the empty and dark street of L.A, she had no idea how long she had been standing over there but it was getting late.. Hardin left home earlier this morning and hadn't returned since then, they weren't always on good terms but that didn't stop her from worrying about his safety. It escaped her mind every single time to ask him about the nature of his job, this was infact the first time he had stayed out this late.. And why wasn't his grandmother worried? Who was going to make dinner? Grandma Jade acts all lazy whenever Hardin was around and as soon as he steps out, she becomes a tigress and scolds her at every chance she gets.. She walked back to her bed and grabbed the black jean jacket resting on it in an attempt to go find him, maybe he was in some sought of trouble.. Only a few step away from her bed had her freezing up her movement.. She snapped her head back to the window, where a car pulling over could be heard.. Her
***WARNING MATURED CONTENTS AHEAD SKIP IF YOU ARE NOT COMFORTABLE**** ***********YOUR HUMBLE AUTHOR....BLUE***** Damien's eyes shone with desire as his lips crashed against Olivia's lips that was warm and inviting.. A soft moan escaped Olivia's's lips as soon as Damien's hardened length poked her lower belly, That explains why he was behaving so uncomfortable, she had aroused him.. Her brain zoned out completely taking off along with her senses, leaving her body to decide her fate tonight.. "P-lease Olivia...ask me to stop" Damien pleaded in-between kisses, he had to stop otherwise she'd be mad at him for the second time.. He wanted to have her consent before he went ahead.. And like magic, her hands raked through his hair indulging him and at the same time reciprocating his fiery kisses with the same passion and desire... Damien broke the kiss and took a long glance at her, was that a go ahead sign for him to continue? He cupped her face with his palm gaping at
Olivia's long lashes fluttered open to the bright and empty room, she sat up with a small groan, her body ached so much as a result of last night's activity.. Her face suddenly went pale as the images from last night replayed in her mind, that wasn't a dream, it happened!.. Her eyes settled on the table next to her bed where a tray sat which contained scrambled eggs, warm cheese, and sausage, all snugly wrapped in a tortilla embrace.. At least he was kind enough to send breakfast to her room after draining her energy all throughout the night.. She stepped out of the bed hissing in pain, every part of her body felt sore especially in between her thighs.. She made her way to the bathroom after picking up her torn apart clothes littered around.. Standing before the clear mirror, she touched the numerous hickeys that he had created from her neck to her chest.. "He's such a monster!" *** A yawn escaped Alexa's mouth as she stepped out of her room, her tummy made a grumbl
Despite all that had happened to Tracy in the last few weeks, she was smart enough to understand that revenge wouldn't help her out at all. She pulled her gaze off the large screen showing the live footage of Damien and Olivia's wedding. That should have been her daughter smiling so brightly on the screen, but the latter messed up her chances. If only Olivia hadn't come into the picture, maybe everything would still be intact and in place. The Brown's wouldn't have been broken apart like it had. Taking a huge deep breath, she gripped the handle of the wheelchair where a dazed looking Asher sat. The doctor said he was still in shock of whatever had happened around him but it's been days since he woke up and the only word he uttered was "Olivia" Tracy wasn't oblivious to the fact that Asher had something for Olivia. "Your dad and Rihanna has chosen their own path, I think it's time we get going and start our lives afresh" They had to catch the fastest flight to Florida w
Few days later.. The most awaited day in the city came by so fast. The day were the two souls were finally going to be joined together by the sacred bonds of marriage. A majestic church was transformed into a breathtakingly opulent wedding wonderland. The stained glass windows adorned with intricate stone carvings filtered the sunlight casting kaleidoscopic patterns across the polished marbled floor covered with a plush white carpet runner embroidered with gold thread. Garlands of lush greenery and exotic white flowers which included, roses, orchids, and gardenias entwined the wooden pews leading up to the altar. The air was sweet with the scent of blooming flowers. All these extravagant decor had everything to do with Anita Sterling, the most joyous soul on earth. She had been anticipating this day so much if not more than the couple and finally it was here. As the orchestra's strings swelled, the congregation rose. Their faces turned toward the back of the church. Th
Alexa took a glance at Hardin seated next to her in the car when he didn't make any attempt to step out of the car. Today, her older brother had summoned her to the Sterling's ancestral home for an urgent meeting, and she had taken advantage of that opportunity to introduce Hardin to her family. Except that the latter was feeling nervous about this meeting. Hardin knew that he had to face his girl's family sooner than later. He wasn't scared of meeting them but rather be was scared that they might look down on him because of the huge gap between their status. Or worse they might shoo him away from Alexa which he wouldn't be able to bear. Alexa's hand fell on his palm fisted on his lap. She gave it a soft reassuring squeeze. "Trust me. Everything will be fine. My brother might seem tough but he is actually soft hearted on the inside and my dad isn't much of a trouble either" Hardin released a deep breath, he casted her a glance. "And your mum? There's still enough time
Tracy's hand shakily reached for the door's knob leading to Asher's ward. Her heart raced wildly as the door creaked open. She took a step in and almost immediately, a surprised squeal left her lips. Her legs almost gave way, but luckily, she regained her composure and hurried to the bed where the lean figure lay with his eyes wide open. "Asher" She cried out softly caressing his hair. He was awake. Meanwhile, Asher's face was as still as a statue, he hardly blinked or changed his line of focus. Tracy rained multiple kisses on his face but that still didn't generate any reaction from him. There were several questions running wild in her head that needed to be answered. "Asher..can you hear me? it's me your mum" She reminded him taking his hand in hers. She brought his hand to her lips and began sobbing. Now she had a new ray of hope. He was awake and that was all that mattered to her. *** Olivia sat on her bed reading a book in the peace and quietness of Damien's r
Bianca flashed a smile at the kind receptionist who led her to the door leading to Xander's office... Her hubby must have been working his ass off and had probably forgotten to have breakfast before coming to the office and it was certain that he might skip lunch too. But not on her watch. She had decided to pay a surprise visit to him today by coming over to his company with his lunch. She pushed the door open and stepped in with all smiles.. "Hey, Mr Gray I see you're busy." Xander was startled at her sudden familiar and chirpy voice, he snapped his head up from his PC to her. She plunged to the chair in front of his large desk with a broad grin on her face placing two takeouts on his desk. From her facial expression he got that she was excited to see him. "Wow! I wasn't expecting you to show up. You startled me for a second there" She sprang up to her feet and walked around the desk heading to him, once she drew close enough she stood behind him and leaned dow
All throughout the ride back home Damien's hand never left Olivia's tummy no matter how many times she made jest of him. He just couldn't contain his happiness and the same goes to Olivia. "Don't you think you are overreacting?" Olivia inquired arching a brow. She wasn't complaining or anything, it was just it felt weird for him to caress her flat tummy. "Come on. I wasn't there for you when you were pregnant with Kelvin. The least I could do is to make sure that I'm always by your side from now henceforth" Olivia sighed in defeat, she tilted her head by the side till it fell on his shoulder. "As you wish Mr Sterling" *** Hardin wiped off small food crumbs by the corner of Alexa's lips using his thumb. He took the dirty dishes along with him to the kitchen. "You don't have to do the dishes. I can manage on my own" Alexa lazily offered running her palm on her stomach. "Nah. it's nothing much" It's been a while since she last ate a really nourishing homemade foo
Damien and Olivia waited patiently for the results of the test carried out. The result was said to be ready in the next thirty minutes. "Are you sure you aren't feeling any discomfort?" He asked worriedly. Olivia's face fell for the umpteenth time in a row, Damien had been bugging her with that same question over and over again. "Yes. My ears are about to be blown off by you. I told you already right? I'm fine quit worrying yourself for nothing" Damien chuckled at her response, he brought his hand to her blonde hair stroking it lovingly. "I can't help but worry about you honey" Olivia flashed him a look of surprise, he just addressed her as 'Honey' and surprisingly it sounded right to her ears. Luckily for Olivia who was gradually burning in red color, the door opened and a doctor stepped into his office while a nurse followed behind him. He took his seat behind his large brown desk filled with some papers clipped together and his name tag. "Mr Sterling. I'm deepl
Hardin pulled away from Alexa after a few seconds of their lips locking. He cupped her face in his hands while his eyes never left hers for a second. Her face was expressionless and he noticed that she didn't reciprocate to his advances. Or furthermore, she wasn't interested in him like he was in her. The thought of that shattered his heart into a million tiny pieces. Maybe this had something to do with the huge gap in their status. But at this point, nothing mattered to him any longer except the lady standing close to him. Whether she accepted him or not, he had decided to pour out his feelings. She hadn't said a word neither had she blinked or make the slightest of movement. Perhaps, she was still in a state of shock, which was very true. Although this wasn't the first time Hardin had kissed her, but this kiss which lasted for a few seconds felt entirely different. Her heart thumped wildly wondering why he did that. Different questions and assumptions filled her mind leavin
The once messy apartment which belonged to Alexa was made spotless and neat after a few hours of cleaning by Hardin.. He picked up the trashcan and proceeded to the living room where some of her dresses and socks were littered. A few empty packs from various snacks covered the table in the midst of the mini living room. "How come I never noticed any of this whenever I come in here?" He questioned no one in particular.. After taking out the thrash from the table, his eyes caught sight of a thin strip paper like object lying lazily on the table.. Hardin's brows furrowed, from the two clear red lines flashing before his eyes, he already knew what this was. He picked it up examining it closely, this was a pregnancy strip. And worse of it all, it was showing two lines which meant that it was positive. Was Alexa pregnant? if not what was it doing in her apartment? Meanwhile.. A smile carved on Alexa's sleeping face when a mouth watering aroma filled her nostrils. She stir
