CHAPTER THIRTY NINE

STEPHANIE

I stood in front of my mirror staring at my reflection. Edwards words from last night came flowing into my mind.

‘For some reason I don't understand but I want more’

‘I promise I won't change tomorrow. You can hold this message against me if I do’

I touched my neck, then my breasts, squeezing the latter. The blue in my eyes had a sudden spark in them and I wondered if it was because of the feeling I had that Edward had changed.

My hair looked straight, dry and needed a proper brushing so I decided to take a shower before going downstairs.

I stepped into the shower letting the warm water rain on me. As I brushed my hair with my fingers, all that was going through my mind was Edward.

What would it feel like to have him in a bath with me, his naked frame before me. The water falling off his rib sheen skin. His hair curly and those brown eyes staring deep into my soul.

I touched my body remembering his touch from last night and I felt a heat wave rush down my body.

    STEPHENIE That Sunday was the best I ever had in Edward's house. We spent the entire afternoon together until Aisha's message came in. ‘I’m having a girls night out. Well, it wasn't planned, but can you come out tonight?”I was holding Anna in my arms, she was asleep, so I took her up to her room and decided to go but bring Olivia along. I texted Aisha and she quickly agreed. I went to my room and the staff hadn't moved my things out yet, so I dressed up. I wore a skimpy white dress, applied lots of makeup and finished the look with a gold high sandal heel. I didn't bother telling Edward, I didn't even know where he was, but I told Emma that Aisha invited me to a party. I went to the ground floor and used my new car. I'd never had a car in my entire life, so I was excited. I drove to Olivia's house and honked loudly before alighting. Not long I saw her open her window curtains, closing them back before coming out. She was dressed for the party. “Girl, you are making alot of noise

    EDWARD I came out of my office after having a long call with Ryan about the construction going on at Old Musty. I walked downstairs only to find out that Stephanie had gone out to meet Aisha. It was strange. I thought we were having our bonding time. I bought her a car, had it delivered overnight and tried my best to make her feel okay, but evening came, and she popped out. Did she find me boring or what? I guess Emma could see the anger in my eyes, so I left her presence. Sitting in my lounge, I picked up my phone and decided to check Aishas Instagram story. She posted a video with her friends, Xena and Susan, all dressed up for a party. They were singing along to a song, the doorbell rang, and Aisha rushed to open the door, letting Stephanie and Olivia in. Aisha hugged Stephanie, welcoming her cheerfully, telling her and Olivia to spin around showcasing their dresses, and the video ended. I replayed it again. Stephanie was wearing a white short flare dress open at the back and

    STEPHANIE Immediately, Edward stormed away, I turned to the girls, and Aisha held a grin. “And that's what we call romantic,” she laughed. “My man has never had an issue with me coming here” She turned to Xena and Susan. “Have your man ever done this?” They shook their head ‘No’Olivia rubbed my back “Having a protective man is awesome, in fact, that phrase ‘Youre mine and mine alone’ did things to my stomach” “I agree” Xena joined before peeking in his direction “Go on your man is waiting” I looked back, his car was just sitting there. I gave Olivia my key telling her I'll come pick up my car the next day and hug them goodbye. As I got to the car, Edward came out and opened the door for me before slamming it. He was angry, I knew, I was supposed to be angry at him too but I was not. The fact that he was jealous I loved it. The entire ride was silent. I didn't say a word to him. When we got home, I started to go upstairs with him following up behind me. I didn't look back or atte

    STEPHANIE I didn't realize it was morning until I felt gentle kisses on my back. I turned around slowly to be greeted by Edwards' face. He was staring at me with nothing but love in his eyes and I felt a little bit embarrassed. It was a long night we had, I still felt weak. “Morning, Little bird,” he said, leaning in to kiss my forehead. I pulled the sheets over my chest properly. The sun had been up for a while, and the exposed curtains showed it. “You're late for work” I whispered. He didn't move “Remember I own the company” I chuckled “Humble brag” I closed my eyes. “I want to stay in bed all day,” I groaned. “You should stay but you have to work. You asked me to make you work, remember?”I opened my eyes and smiled, he was getting up now. “Can I get a day off Mr Dan?” He turned to glare at me before lunging forward, his face on mine. “You're looking for trouble, aren't you?” I laughed “I would love to stay in with you but you know I can't” he used his fingers to graze my br

    STEPHANIE Immediately, Maison stormed out, I collapsed to the ground, catching my breath. Olivia ran over to me asking if I was okay. I think Maison's violence rate increased because he didn't hesitate to strangle me. Before he wasn't as quick to hurt me as he did now. “What are you going to do about it?” Olivia asked, sitting on the floor beside me.I was pissed, who gave him the right to want me back. He fucking hurt me before. Now I'm with Edward and I don't plan on loving anyone else. I needed to stay away from him. I told Olivia, “Please don't pick up his calls or tell him where my parents are. I'll try to avoid him and please stay away from him, call the cops if you must” Maison was a totally different person, his eyes contained hostility, blood and murder. And I know that if he wasn't capable of murder before, he was now. I waited for hours to make sure he had gone away first before heading home. Looking at my reflection, I could see the red marks of his fingerprint on my

    STEPHANIE Edward carried me into the kitchen ignoring my tiny attempts for him to drop me down. Deep down, I loved it. He sat me on the kitchen counter and asked me what I wanted. Honestly, I was full now, he had fed me. “I'm not hungry anymore,” I said quietly. “Woman, you were going to leave me earlier because you were hungry” his face contained a kind of confusion, which made me begin to laugh. “I'll have a sandwich” “Why?” He questioned. I laughed “I'm not really hungry now” He walked up to me and whispered. “Little bird, you'll need all the food you can get tonight” I laughed again which was unusual. “I can't remember getting you high just a few minutes ago” I slid down the cabinet and placed my arms around his neck, eyes in his. “You don't know anything, Mr Dan, you got me drunk and I want to get high again” He smiled, this time, he wasn't angry that I called him Mr Dan. “Still…” He pushed strands of my hair behind. “You need to eat something” He lifted me without warni

    STEPHANIE I made Edward lay down on the leather massage bed while I took off my sweater. He had taken off his shirt, so I was greeted with the tough intense muscle showing on his back. I got an oil which smelled of lavender and went ahead to apply it on him, my phone producing a soft, calming tone. I wanted him to feel good, and have the experience of a proper spa treatment. I let the oil drop on his back before gently blending them all over, driving my hands into every muscle of his back and neck. I heard him sigh in satisfaction. “This feels good, little bird” he whispered in a raspy note. I took my time to feel each strong muscle, yet his tender skin grazed my palm. I got to his waist and didn't hesitate to slide my hands past his trousers, feeling the fullness of his muscle-filled buttocks. “You're crossing the boundary” I heard him say and I took my hands. He turned around, facing the ceiling, and I went ahead to oil his chest, letting my fingers sink into his skin. As I

    STEPHANIE I was surprised, shocked to the bone. How could Edward just fire Steven because he touched me or asked me out on a date? Any woman would be happy because he was all overprotective and so but I wasn't, Steven was a nice guy. If he was some pervert I wouldn't have bothered. I stared at Steven who had his head bowed, pain and confusion written all over. I needed to do something. I ran after Edward. “He was in his office now, about to sit, when I walked in. “How could you do that?” I questioned. “Steven didn't do anything wrong” he ignored me and sat down. So we are beginning this attitude of him ignoring me all over again. “Who goes around firing people who said they liked me?” He sat back on his chair and let me feed his eyes. “You need to go and reverse your order,” He stood up, and in a few steps, he was towering above me. He said most gently “No one touches what is mine” “But I'm not your possession. You have to employ him back”“Do you feel something for him?” He a

    STEPHANIE Edward got home, still recuperating from his injury, I had to move back in to take care of him. He couldn't use his hand properly or his body to do any harsh activities. I needed to be by his side. Anna was so happy I returned, they had told her I went on a trip. She kept on asking what I got her and I had to ask Emma to go get her the latest doll she had always wanted. Emma wrapped it up and I gave it to her as a gift. As a workaholic that Edward was, staying home wasn't funny for him. He still tried to work from home but I always reminded him that he should rest just like the doctor had suggested. I met him slumped on the couch in our room watching sports news. He looked exhausted. I laughed “You look like you're about to die because they asked you to stay home and recover” “Trust me now I'm getting an experience of what you felt while staying home all through that period” I smiled and sat beside him. “Have you taken a shower?” “Not yet. I feel so lazy right now,” h

    STEPHANIE “GET YOUR FUCKING HANDS OFF MY WIFE!!” Edwards' voice rumbled and thundered down the street, and immediately, Maison let go of me. “So you brought your husband huh?” He threw me a very dirty look. “I thought I had told you to come alone. Now you're really going to get it dirty when we get home” He dug his hand into his back pocket and brought out a dagger before lunging into Edward, and they struggled with who would hit whom. I wasn't expecting to see Edward. How did he know what was going on and came? For some reason, I'm glad he came, but for another, I'm not; what if he gets stabbed? They gave themselves an equal share of beatings until Maison cut Edward on the arm. I just screamed where I was. Edward was trying to hit the knife out of his hand but he proceeded to pierce him with the knife in his abdomen. I felt like fainting. Edward managed to hit the knife out of his hands and held him to the ground, it didn't take a second before Sam and his team came and grabbed

    STEPHANIE I ignored my mother who had seen me and Edward outside. I walked upstairs avoiding her gaze. I was ashamed of myself and also angry. I had ruined Edwards' life. I locked my door, slumped on the floor, and cried more. Thinking about it, how could Edward even want me back after knowing I slept with another man? What kind of a lover was he? I've never seen someone love me this bad in my life. I needed to do something concerning all these. I cannot sit back and watch Maison soil Edwards's name. I don't mind dying because of this. I needed to make things right. I should save the one who loves me more than the way I love him. I thought about it for some days before concluding. I picked out my phone and called Maison hoping he would pick up. He did, and I said. “You wanted me right? Now you can have me” ‘What are you saying?’ He clearly was pleased with those words. “But please don't ruin Edwards's name, please, I beg you, Maison. You can have me as you want.”‘Is it now you

    EDWARD Stephanie was wearing his clothes, looking haggard, she had slept over, did she just have sex with him? Her mom had told me that she had gone to see me yesterday. But I never saw her, I just guessed she would be here, and here she was, in another man's clothes. “What are you doing here?” I asked her. “What are you doing here?” She asked me back. “You have no right to be here” She began walking down the stairs. “I do, you're fucking just leaving a man's apartment”“Just the way you fucking left a woman's apartment before coming here to pretend to beg” She was angry. “What?” I didn't understand her statement. She laughed “Edward you're funny” “I don't understand” She walked up to me, and I could smell tobacco and earth on her, it was unusual. She always smelt fresh and flowery. “Let me tell you something, you and I are never getting back together. Never” Perhaps did she hear about me and Camille but no one would tell her. “You cannot say that” “Edward you cannot stand h

    STEPHANIE Gabriel kissed me roughly as if he had been craving for my body just like I was craving for a body. His hands caressed every inch of my body. I didn't mind that he was all muddy and could stain my clothes, I wanted his hands all over me. He hit me against the wall. Getting rid of my shirt first. Sucking my neck and chest. I ran my fingers through his soft locks. I was dripping wet, I had forgotten my pain. I just imagined that I was doing everything with Edward. He placed me on a console, taking his shirt off. He studied me before leaning in to kiss me slowly. He carried me into his workroom, to his pottery station, and laid me on the muddy floor gently. I stared at him. “What are you doing?” He smirked. “Just relax” He began to take off my clothes, and soon I was naked before him. “You're a total work of art” I just watched him. He took off his clothes before walking towards a heap of mud. He grabbed a bowl of muddy water and poured some on himself. I was surprised,

    STEPHANIE I was into the kiss, my hands travelling to Gabriel's neck, when I realised that this wasn't right. I quickly pulled away to his surprise. “I'm so sorry. I can't do this” I said, getting up. “I'm not even supposed to be here” What was wrong with me? How could I kiss someone whom it has not been a week since I met? I was married, I shouldn't appear cheap before Gabriel. “Stephanie,” he called me. I refused to turn for fear that what would happen next might be more intense. “Stephanie please wait” I turned around. “I'm really sorry” “It's not your fault. It is my fault. I don't know what's wrong with me” I ran my fingers through my hair. “I have feelings for someone else” Gabriel stared at me with concern in his eyes. “It's normal to feel something for someone and at the same time feel something for another” “That’s not true” “You shouldn't deny your heart what it wants and your body what it craves,” He said softly. “I don't know you, Gabriel. I can't say I feel someth

    STEPHANIE I didn't feel bad as Edward saw me on Gabriel's back. I felt happy so he would know that I could be special to any other man. I slid down his back and he watched me with concern. “Are you sure, I shouldn't take you inside?” “I have to speak to that man,” I gestured to Edward. I faced him properly. “Thank you so much, I would have been in lots of trouble without you. I'll come over later” Gabriel smiled. “I'll be expecting you” As he turned to leave, he gave Edward a quick look before walking away. I frowned when I turned to Edward. I limp slowly to where he is. “What are you doing here?” “Who was that guy?” “That's none of your business” Seriously, that's the first question Edward would ask me?He looked at my legs “What happened to you?” “Nothing much, I sprained my ankle” “Then you should get a doctor immediately” I stared at him with a frown. “What are you doing here?”He was silent for a while before walking up to me and sweeping me off the ground. He carried me

    EDWARD I studied Camille as she said those words. How can this woman be so ruthless? I don't even know when she began loving me. “When did this all begin” “Hmm?” “When did you begin having a thing for me, I've known us to be best friends?” She smiled “Remember when you punched Raymond into a pool, that's when it all started”I shifted my head to the side. This was years ago in junior high school. We attended Raymond's birthday party, and when he saw her, he began teasing her for being so small. She began to cry. When I saw what Raymond did to her, I was offended and dashed to him, punching him and he fell into the pool behind. It was a very long time ago, I wasn't expecting it to be something that would make someone fall for someone. Plus she was my best friend. “Camille, we were kids,” I told her. “Well not anymore and you can keep to your word” “I cannot marry you” I was a bit offended. “I'm not asking you to marry me, I just want you as my man” “That cheating on Stephanie

    EDWARD My bed felt cold without Stephanie beside me. The past few days have been a hard one for me. I couldn't concentrate well at work or home. I then realised the big hole in my life If Stephanie was not in it. The only time I got to hear her voice was when she called Anna to say hello. I had gone and tried apologising but she wouldn't listen. I wanted to give her space but I cannot live without her. I couldn't sleep and decided to go apologise this time forcing her to hear me out. Reaching her doorstep, I alighted only to find her on another man's back. They were talking, and she seemed relaxed and happy. Who was this guy that could make my woman happy? I was furious. Stephanie didn't know that everything I had done, I was doing it for her. It was getting to the busiest time of the year for me. There was a pile of work to do and lots of places to go. Sometimes it gets so busy that I would arrive home when Stephanie was asleep. I wanted to spend more time with her, especially
