Umh my friends wanted to take pictures with you and I figured out you wouldn't be pleased with that, I also don't have time to explain to her why we were together it was of no use since we will soon get a divorce I said aloud biting my lips.I felt suffocated at Davis fierce look, he pursued his lips and asked coldly ‘Divorce those words sprang up from his mouth coldly.Water drink handling him a glass of water,he was hesitant but I grabbed his hand dumping the glass of water.Davis felt a bit relief even though those explanation didn't make any sense to him.Am sorry I said and hurriedly left for my room, Davis was lost in thought was that her so called gratitude it would been venue if she stayed even a second after saying sorry.It was already 8:00am both master Davis and Sara are not out for breakfast.Maybe I should check Sara first,Mrs Ella got in and found Sara fast asleep looks she just slept off while ago.Just in Davis got in,he was startled by the way he met Sara lying.his
An unknown man at the singles forum,was these the man she has gone to see, was he the one who wants to invest on her father's company.His phone almost fell of the ground, threw his phone to the bed and where is he from is there something behind?His face looks familiar but I just couldn't remember exactly where I had seen him.Davis picked up his phone to call his personal Assistant if he had any clue whom the man Sara was together with at the singles forum was.The veins on Davis throbbed as he glanced through the photos.Who were together with at the singles, Davis asked almost speaking aloud.An investor I responded walking to the door, He grapped my hand almost immediately and where do you think you are going to his voice hoarse. it was my cousin I was together with,he released my hand almost immediately why have you been refusing to say it before now.Davis sent the photos to his secretary confirm who is he.In an hour he got back to Davis,boss it's Sara,s cousin.I walked at
Chapter nineteen Sara's POVI loved to live a very carefree life by myself but Davis… he acted as though everything was fine even after all that we've been through together. His attitude, his behavior to me. Could it all be stifled down? And now he was acting as though he wanted us to sleep together.You know there were some days that I wished Davis would just come out straight on what his true motive and intentions were. But when he was hot and cold with me, it made me confused as to what he really needed and wanted from me.This marriage was not my desire if it weren't for the situation my family was in. And now that my father was gone… I had a new family to protect. The babies in my womb."What is your problem?" Davis asked me one morning while he was preparing for work."You're lazing around in bed instead of going to your father's company. I know how much you loved your father…""Don't start!" My back was turned to him as he faced the mirror while fixing his necktie."Don't spea
It was like a three-sixty-degree shift the behavior of Sara toward me. At first, I thought she was a conservative woman but her recent actions towards me proved otherwise. It wasn't as though she'd just become seductive to me. Oh no, it was quite the opposite. It was as though she became quite attentive to herself which I found as a very attractive trait.Tonight, there was no meal prepared for me so I fixed myself some toast and a bowl of custard and milk. That night, I slept with her in my arms. Sara was usually not a clingy person and she would even give herself some distance from me if I asked that we stay together, but today, she seemed to hold onto me like I was some sort of vegetable.And for the very first time, I fell into sleep with content. She was beautiful. The most beautiful woman in my heart. Her presence and touch healed something within me that I didn't even know existed.The next morning, I was awoken by sweet hearty laughter. I lightly opened my eyes and saw that th
Davis POV"Sir you seem to be in an awfully good mood today. Is there anything we should work towards celebrating?" It was my secretary that was asking this question. She was dressed in corporate. However, her high ponytail and caked makeup made me want to throw up. It was clear she was trying to seduce. And I wondered how she could do that.Before I used to have a thing for her, I think. But now, I only wished I could see a bit more of Sara. It was boring without her.I remembered our spat this morning and felt very weak. How could I have let down my defenses of her so suddenly?I sighed and continued what I was doing. As I entered my office, my secretary followed behind me. "Sir, there's a meeting this morning. You've missed half of it." I grabbed the brown envelope on my table and read the contents on the written piece of paper.It was written by a commissioner's son. I knew that seal all too well.Please take up my case.I turned to my secretary and she instantly pulled up an iPad
Davis POV"Now what's next on the schedule?" I asked my secretary as I settled down in my office.She gave me a stare and said hesitantly, "You didn't take much time at the seminary. Did everything go well?"I grabbed the handkerchief lying on my desk and wiped my sweaty palms with it. "Uh. I told them the facts. Public uproar has nothing to do with whether there's a case or not. As far as the law and government are concerned, the so-called 'druglords' are businessmen. I think a few of them have gone to court before and there was no evidence whatsoever to prove that any of them were into any illegal activities.""And if I remember quite frankly, you, sir, are the one that defended two of the so-called drug lords in the court of law."I stood on my feet and walked past my secretary. "The intricacies don't matter now, does it? The main point is that the court of law doesn't record the so-called persons in the video as criminals. Moving on, what's the next thing on the agenda, secretary?
Davis's Pov"Old?" Appear on the walkway is a tall man with vigor and sharp mind. He was holding with him firmly, a black suitcase. His dressing consisted of an hat and flowy comfy suit jacket and pants. His shoes were super shiny like they'd been manufactured separately from the company's vip section.And his eyes were sharp and cutting through."I don't suppose you're George Adwell, are you?" I said even though I knew damn well that he was. I'd probably seen his face on the local newspapers once in a while, as well as on my working tablet."Well, as you can see. I'm not someone ordinary." He said as he stopped in front of my face. I nodded at his statement. This was a superior at law business, there was no way what happened to him was a basic mistake. It was all planned out situation. I wondered what information I could get from him."You're dismissed," I told the cleaner lady and she runs off."That's not very nice of you," he said, "You didn't even ask the old pal here what he wa
Davis POVGeorge Adwell left my office but what he didn't know was that him exiting the office gave me much more knowledge than I had before his coming to visit me.I contemplated on his last words. The one he had left me, and felt eerie about it. I had a wife. Although it was contract based, I was already beginning to see her as my life partner. This realization brought me great frustration. How could a woman change the dexterity of how I originally intended to live my life.And recently, she had me under her grip. I could not believe that I gave her my credit card and told her to go shopping. I hated lazy women the most but Sara, I did not mind spending my money on her.Since when I even started to have that ideology, I don't know!I stood up from the couch where I was sitting on and stepped outside a bit where I saw the Secretary typing away on her phone.The moment she saw me, she stood to her feet and looked at me with widened eyes as though she was fearful I'd hate her if she ca
Sara's POV I didn't know how it happened but she grabbed me and I was forcefully put into her car. The car's driver switched into child lock and I was unable to open the car and get out. The chair sped off and my screams were useless. The glass and everything about the car was bulletproof as well as noise proof.I was in trouble. But I was not going to give up here. Not ever.I was scared. But I knew I had to take my chances least it become much worse when I'm in isolated area.The key was in getting the car out of childlock. If I did, I'd run out, even if I was to hurt my knees, it was way better than staying in an isolated place with them.The woman I recalled, I met in front of the door to Davis' and I booked room at the hotel. Not that I thought clearly, nothing about her made sense.And I was going to slap the sense back onto her so she knew clearly that she was messing with the wrong person.“You,” I said to her. “What's your name?”“Amelia.” She responded. “And you're not goin
DAVIS POVThe moment I woke up, I wanted to go right back to sleep only for the sake of being next to Sara, my wife. However, that of my wish didn't come to fulfillment because I had things to do to ensure that Sara would be safe at all times.I went to speak to one of my friends who happened to be a prince in Egypt. By coincidence, he also happened to be here with his foreign girlfriend for some fun.“You know it's always a pleasure to see you Davis. I never imagined you'd be here at this specific time.”“It's okay,” said I.“Can you do me a favour?” I asked while we were walking down the stairs of his very exotic mansion. “Anything for you, brother.” He said with thick Egyptian accent. “I need at least six well-trained bodyguards.”“What for, brother? This is Antarctica. You are safe here.”“Or am I, brother?” I looked to my Egyptian friend and I decided to tell him the full update. “I have some lady threatening me.”“A lady? Bro the entire nation's crushing on you. You're a catch
Sara's POVI was in a mall dressed in designers clothing bought by my very exquisite husband. And he was putting on me an extra layered jacket with enough heat to keep me warm to the point to sweating even whilst it was raining.“Davis,” I tried to say. “I'll be fine with one jacket, the rain isn't that heavy.”“I just don't want you to get sick.” He said. He himself was only wearing pant trousers, and a turtle neck shirt.“I'll be fine, I promise.” I told him. “Let the facts confirm it,” he said. And I was shut out of words to tell him.Davis received a phone call and I understood from the back and forth conversation that the pilot that Davis had made a deal with told us it was best to suspend our travel to tomorrow due to the rain and wind.All these disruptions were caused by nature so we could do little about it. “Let's lodge at an hotel for the night, then tomorrow we can home.” Davis said.I nodded. The mall we were in had a section where we could buy food.“Should we buy a sna
SARA'S POVI went to the bathroom for some break.Eventually, I got back to the room with a smile on my face.“We've just finished eating. Why don't we go watch the movie I promised you?”So we ordered an Uber to go to the movies. On the way, we bought some sunshade and masks to protect ourselves from the public. Once we arrived at the movies, it was a bit difficult what to watch because all the movies seemed interesting. But Davis wanted to see one that was about an army dude and so I decided to go along with that one too.We did take some snacks with us but while we were at the movies, we did not chew a single popcorn. It wasn't that we were so fixated on the movie that we didn't have any time— No, it was that we were already full from the lunch we had at the restaurant.By the end of the movie, I was feeling quite refreshed.“Was the movie worth the trip?” Davis asked me after the movie was done.“Can I say yes?”Davis nodded at me. “I hired someone. He'll take us back home for fr
SARA'S POVDavis was only trying to be mature in his relation to other people. Like me, he was also constantly growing through situations and circumstances so I had to be patient with him. Just because he used a certain formula in the past did not mean that he would use it again. Each time in itself was special and unique.“Shall we?” I saw a waiter usher another couple into the VIP section.I looked back at Davis who was now hung up on his phone. He seemed eerily perturbed. Davis was rarely perturbed.“Is there something wrong?” I asked out loud which made his hurriedly make to put his phone into his side pocket.“No. Why would there be something wrong?” He chuckled but I was not buying that from him.However, before I could press in more thoughtfully, Davis leaned forward and said, “you see those couple who just walked in, eh?”I nodded.“They’re the owner of a world renowned foundation. CRC.”“O.M.G.” I said comically.I looked to the couple and saw the female was already walking t
SARA'S POVSo we landed in Antarctica. Just a lucky flint that we were alive. I felt as if God preserved my life personally so I could tell others of how much he was visible in my life.From the beginning of my life untill this moment, If I didn't have the favour of God in my life, I doubt I could mentally still be able to push forward with anything.“What do we eat? You must have exhausted all your strength while we were in our chopper.”I shook my head at Davis. I didn't get how he could still be sarcastic despite what we've just been through. It was almost like he didn't have a negative bone in his body. How miraculous. I wanted to say many things to Davis in a sarcastic way but I kept silent. I respected him all through his nonchalant attitude and I even dared say it was because of him taking leadership during the flight that we were here safe and sound.“What do you want to eat?”“Something sweet.”Then we were off to a restaurant Davis was acquainted with, coming here on a busin
DAVIS POVShe looked like a fresh piece of cake in the white dress she was wearing. Her feet were clad in flat slippers and her hair which was let down danced widely above and below her shoulders.“Where's the guy that's supposed to fly us?” She asked a few minutes after we got there. But I did not have the answer.“I'll check.” I grabbed my phone and checked my phone book only to see that I had a missed call from my chopper rider. I called him back and was surprised by the emergency sounds I kept hearing in the background.“Hey, friend, what's going on with you? My wife and I are at the site but you're a no show. What's up? Thought we had an agreement 15k per hour.”“I’m sorry boss but I can't make it to the site no more today?”“And why is that?”I kept hearing background noises of women saying “We're losing him.”“Hey, friend, what the hell is going on with you? Tell me.” I did not like being at the other end of something.“Boss, matter of a fact is, I got into an accident on my wa
Davis POVCooking delightful meals was not something that was new to me although I preferred the maids handle that. Today however, when the maids were on their offday. I made something for myself to eat. It was nearly day break and I knew Sara would soon be up as well. I thought it would be nice to prepare something for her to eat. Eventually, I settled on an egg toast sandwich and salad.Once the food was done, I knocked on the door and then opened it only to see Sara sitting in front of the mirror with wet hair. It seemed she had just got off the shower. Actually, it was very clear she had just gotten freshened up in the bathroom.“How are you, Sara?” The moment she turned around to face me, I saw her eyes vividly widen. Then she turned forward with her eyes firm. I could see she was trying her best to seem strong.“W-what are you doing? Won't you go to work?” She seemed snippy in attitude. It was as though what happened between the two of us last night didn't happen.I decided to
Davis POVI made things worse even though that was not what I intended to do. I decided to put all that excess energy into work and I succeeded. But the emptiness was still there.Deep into the night, I noticed Sara step out in a red silky nightwear. Her wavy hair was let down and she looked cute walking with her barefeet. Her toe nails, I noticed were void of colours, clean and gorgeous. I wondered if it were possible to find another kind of woman like her in the world which was now condemned with sin and a lot of sensual stuff.I would really desire if she could give in to me as her husband. Although this marriage was contractual, I needed her to believe in me. I wanted this thing between us to become real. I wanted us to be of one blood. One lifeline.I sighed to myself as I watched her get a bottle of drink from the fridge. Her fingernails, dark red. It looked as though she'd just made it. Perhaps, in anticipation of the ball I made her agree to.“Dear Sara,” I said to her. She l
