Bianca giggled as she was lifted up by Xander effortlessly, she wrapped her legs around his waist while his hands securely held her bum.. Their lips was still locked together as they approached the king sized bed in the room. Xander's knee sank on the soft mattress as he gently lowered Bianca on the bed. "I'm still wondering how we went from eating dinner to us being in this position" Bianca managed to speak in between the kisses he planted on her lips.. Xander paused his actions and peered down at her meaningfully.. "I don't know about you Bianca, but I'm definitely having my dinner but I still need permission from you to continue eating you" He jested with a brief laugh. Bianca's fondled with the buttons on his white shirt.. "That will be fair if I also have a taste of you, don't you think?" She replied unbuttoning his shirt slowly until she was done.. Xander slipped out of his shirt tossing it aside, Bianca's hands roamed on his bare chest before her eyes. She trace
The sound of a car pulling over in front of the building got Hardin's attention, he swiped his curtain open to get a clearer view of whoever that it was.. A figure of a man popped out of the car, it took him only a second to figure out who it was. It was the same dude from last night. He had kept part of his promise by coming over to pick Alexa to leave for the office.. Just when he was about to close the curtains, he spotted Alexa rushing to Chris with a wide grin on her face.. Even if he couldn't hear what they were speaking about, he could still read their moving lips. A sudden surge of anger rocked through him when Chris wiped something off Alexa's chin with his thumb.. The both of them shared a hearty laughter next which didn't help his anger in anyway.. "Let's get going" Chris urged leading Alexa to the other side of the car, he opened the door for her to hop in.. She halted her movement and took a peek at Hardin's window which was opened, the curtains moved abrupt
Clarissa's brows furrowed worriedly when she noticed the foul look on Hardin's face at the moment, she had been studying his face ever since he left for the counter to get her order.. She also noticed that he was staring at one particular direction and when she followed his line of sight, her jaw tightened. "One cute portion of the smiling moon" the young man who suddenly appeared before her murmured placing the red and white cake on the table.. Clarissa's attention was drawn to him, she flashed him a small smile, he returned it with a wide grin, afterwards he gave her a small bow and left.. As soon as he was gone, her smile vanished completely, she casted a look on the small cake with hate as she suddenly lost her appetite.. Meanwhile... Alexa scanned the menu with so much interest, every dessert on it looked yummy and a part of her greedy self wanted everything.. "Can't I just have them all? they look so good" Chris chuckled taking a peek at his wrist watch, they ha
Hardin moved closer to the bed where Clarissa was being attended to by a nurse on white, as soon as the nurse was done with her work, she left the room leaving the two alone in the ward.. From a closer look, Clarissa's lashes were stained with tears, she sniffed back and blinked her eyes avoiding Hardin's stern look.. There was a minute of silence between them which left them in an awkward state until Hardin took the initiative to speak up.. "This was the main reason you were hellbent on making me accept your proposal? you're pregnant Clarissa" Hardin's tone was calm and collected, he figured that he didn't need to be unnecessarily cold on her given her condition. Clarissa sat up from the bed in a swift, she gave a firm nod.. "I never wanted you to find out about it this way Hardin. I really don't" Hardin raked his hand through his hair in anger, Alexa already got the wrong idea about everything and it might take a lot of effort to clear his name.. "Who is the father?"
The servants gwak worriedly at Olivia who just ran out of the dining room for the second time in the last five minutes, their boss wasn't around at the moment to handle the situation.. They all scurried off to resume their works as soon as they heard Olivia's footsteps approaching the dining room again.. Her face was pale and her eyes looked tired, a lazy yawn left her lips afterwards.. "ma'am are you alright?" Olivia diverted her attention to the middle aged lady standing opposite her, she managed to give a nod accompanied with a smile just to assure her that everything was alright.. Her eyes fell on the varieties of dishes on the table seeking attention. But unfortunately, her stomach protested against the meals she was offered.. Her phone screen lit up where it lay on the dining table. She picked it up and left the dining room to answer it since the food served smelt funny to her.. Meanwhile.. Damien sighed in relief when she answered his call at the first two ring
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
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
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
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
