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
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
A young blonde lady rushed into the hospital hallways frantically searching for the ward her dad was currently staying at.. She received a call a while ago about his health deteriorating rapidly and had to drop everything she was doing to get here on time.. She crashed into a nurse who was coming out of a ward and knocked out the stainless tray off her hand. "Olivia Parker right?" The nurse who was on a pink colored uniform asked hastily to see the young girl nod in affirmation.. "Y..yeah..my dad.. The nurse moved aside granting Olivia entrance into the ward.. Olivia pushed the door open and ran in, when she got in her heart dropped to the pit of her stomach.. She stood rooted to the ground watching how her mum struggled with the doctor and nurses who were trying to move the lifeless body covered with a white sheet.. "He's not dead..he promised never to leave us behind..don't take him away!" Sandy Parker yelled out giving a fit as they tried to move her husband's body out of th
The door to the ward was pushed open after a brief knock, the two men stepped inside to see their young master still asleep.. They exchanged worried gazes, it's past ten in the morning and he wasn't still up yet.. His eyelids moved a bit before it fluttered open to reveal a grey deep set of eyes.. "Boss you're awake!" One of the guards exclaimed in relief.. His thick brows furrowed as his hand went to the back of his head in pain, he tried to recall what happened the previous night but received a headache in return.. "What happened?" he said which sounded more like a groan. "You were drugged at the party last night boss and we had no other choice than to bring you here" His gaze fell on the little bloodstain next to him on the bed, memories from last night suddenly started replaying in his mind.. He closed his eyes briefly with a sigh "Where is she?" "Boss she's gone" "Find her!" He ordered and came down from the bed.. *** Meanwhile in a large living room a
Olivia took in a deep breath and pressed the doorbell, almost immediately a footstep was heard approaching..The door opened and a lady came into view, she was putting on a blue jean pants and a pink colored top, an apron hung lazily around her waist."Hi Mrs Greg""Oh hi Olivia.. please come in Bianca was just talking about you" Mrs Greg's eyes fell on the blue luggage beside Olivia."Well come in.." she murmured and moved back for Olivia to step in."Honey Olivia is here.." Olivia heard Mrs Greg called out and few seconds later Bianca ran down the stairs hurriedly..Her gaze fell on Olivia and then to her luggage, it took her only a second to understand everything.."Come here" Bianca murmured and pulled Olivia into an embrace..Mrs Greg stood at a corner staring keenly at the two, she wondered what they were up to and why Olivia was at her house with her luggage..."It's okay..you can stay with us I'm sure mum won't mind" Mrs Greg cleared her throat to gain their attention, she
Bianca rolled her eyes as she heard Olivia and her son Kelvin discussing how they taught the bad guys a lesson..They exited the mall with a lots of bags which contained things they just purchased..Olivia who was still engrossed in the conversation with Kelvin failed to see the red car heading straight towards her..The car's tires screeched after hitting Olivia, the bags she was holding all flew up in the air and landed harshly on the ground..Bianca and Kelvin's eyes widened by the sight, though the car barely touched her, the impact was still enough to cause a few bruises.."Mummy!" "Olivia!" The red Porsche's glass rolled down to reveal a lady on sunglasses, her face showed no remorse whatsoever for what she just did.."Blind fool!" she barked at them and slowly drove off..Kelvin's brows knotted, that lady just left without apologizing to his mum even though she was at fault!He crotched down and picked up a stone few metres away from him and threw it at the car's windshield.
Damien placed both hands into his pockets glaring down at the foolish lady..Bella rushed out of her office immediately she heard the little commotion going on outside, her eyes nearly popped out of its sockets when she saw the file littered around.."Who is she?" Bella nervously looked up to him, he had given her this task to take care of, she'll definitely get into trouble because of this lady.."Boss.. she's a new employee" Damien's face remained indifferent as his gaze locked down on hers, he couldn't shake off the weird feeling he felt at the moment.."You're fired!" Olivia's brows knotted, fired? she hasn't even spent up to twenty minutes at her new work place.."What?!" she stood up to her feet and pointed her index finger at him.."Escort her out of the company immediately!" Damien gave his verdict and started walking away..Bella smirked as she stared at the look of distort on Olivia's face, she was startled when Olivia took off to the direction where their boss went.."S
Damien's once sullen expression lightened up within seconds, now that he thought about it, she can stay.. "You know what? I think I'm a bad boss for trying to fire you on your first day of work..so from now onwards you're my secretary" Olivia arched an eyebrow at the 360 degree turn his words just took, wasn't he against her staying here a while ago? and why was he nice? "Really?" her eyes glowed in delight when he gave her a nod, she was just about to leave the office when she heard his next words.. "I'll make sure you regret working with me!" *** Sandy Parker giggled when she was suddenly embraced by a small frame.. It was her grandson Kelvin, not too long she heard Bianca's voice which sounded like she was on a call.. "Grandma you didn't tell me that you were stopping by..did you get chocolate for me?" Sandy took him by his hand and led him to the small dining table for four at a corner in the living room.. "Of course I got you chocolate.. but as you know cav

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
