AT SHAWN’S SIDE: The sunlight streaming through the windows highlighted Christopher's chiseled features as he lounge on the couch, soaking up in the warmth of the sun. He was watching a TV series while munching on popcorn, oblivious to the maids who couldn't help but steal glances at his muscular physique. A sudden ringtone broke the tranquility, and Christopher groaned. He initially ignored the ringing phone but reached for it after it's continuous disturbance. "Hello!", he answered, his voice muffled by the popcorn in his mouth, with eyes still glued to the TV screen. A childish voice on the other end caught him off guard. “Hello......I want to speak to Uncle Shawn!”. Christopher's eyes widen in surprise. “When did we have a niece I don’t know of? Or could it be......?”, he thought as he hastily got up and rushed to Shawn's study, phone in one hand and the popcorn on the other. Shawn was looking through the blueprints for a new project when Christopher barged into his study r
Grinning from ear to ear, Georgina opened the door wider. "Welcome everyone.... You may come in". She closed the door after them. The men walked into the room, making the comfy house feel smaller for Eleana and Gabriella. The ladies stood up, overwhelmed by the guests in their house. "Uncle Shawn!!", Isabelle called out loudly from where she was sitting.. Shawn gave her a warm smile which melted Eleana's heart as she looked up at his face, his tall stature overshadowing hers. She sneakily observed his features; his chiselled jaw, brown hair, his long lashes that would swoon any woman, his perfectly well coloured milk suit that matches with his skin tone and his hazel coloured eyes, he was the epitome of handsome and she couldn't look away. Shawn caught Eleana staring and quickly, she averted her gaze. “Hello! I don’t think we’ve had a proper introduction. My name is Christopher and I am a friend of Gabriella and a brother to Shawn”, Christopher said with his hands stretched
Everyone stood up quickly and Eleana rushed to Shawn's side, her body trembling in fear and anxiety. "Come on baby, breathe, just breathe", Eleana said, holding Isabelle palm in hers as Shawn continues to push her tummy upwards. "Cah, cah, cah, cah", Isabelle coughed as she let out the meat that was clogged her throat. They all let out a sigh in relieve while Shawn held her properly and patted her hair. "Are you okay little one?", he asked, his voice soothing to the ears. Isabelle nodded weakly and wrapped her hands around Shawn's neck. Stretching out her hand to hold Isabelle, Eleana thank Shawn. "Thank you Sir.....Baby, come on, mama will hold you", Shawn tried to give Isabelle to Eleana but the little one refused to let go. She tightened her hold on Shawn's neck.Shawn was confused and couldn't make out what Isabelle wanted. "Little one, your mama wants to hold you, let go", he said but Isabelle gave no reply. "Baby Belle?", Georgina called out. "Alright, she is fine now, y
"Do you know what happened? Uncle Shawn?", Georgina repeated the question after a brief pause. Shawn hesitated, his eyes clouding over. "I saved you from getting hit by a car. That's what happened" "A car? Like, I was on the road?", She asked, her mind racing. This was going in a direction Shawn did not like, she was an inquisitive child and he doesn't want to say anything that might trigger her memories, he for one, hopes she forgets about it. "Yes, you were about to cross the road", he answered, choosing his words carefully. "Okay... But, why was I crossing the road? I never cross the road by myself, so who was there with me?", Georgina probed more. She had these questions on her mind for days now but her mother avoids telling her anything that concerns her accident, so does Aunt Gabriella. She knew from Isabelle that the man who came to the hospital the other day was her father, but why does she not remember him? What really happened that day? Mom forbade Isabelle from tellin
"Who would want to do that?", Gabriella wondered as she sat on the hand of the chair, close to Eleana. "I thought of Dane, but Mark said it's someone stronger and ruthless than him, I don't know anyone like that. What could I possibly have done to that person?", Eleana lamented, standing up abruptly and pacing about the room. "I don't know any influential person other than the Diamen family and Dane didn't allow me to talk to anyone much less making friends so how could I have met or angered someone that is more powerful than Dane?". At this point Eleana was talking to herself, crazy with fear and worry that she didn't even remember there had visitors. Walking to her, Gabriella held her hand and snapped her out of her panic trance. "Calm down Elly, we don't know if that's even true and if it is, we've got three of the most powerful men in this city right out this door and all we need to do is ask for their help and this will be solved", Gabriella advised, trying to calm Eleana do
AT ML CONSTRUCTION: It was a month after Georgina's accident, the girls were back in school and that brought out flashes of the accident to Georgina. She remembered running away from someone but couldn't see the person's face nor make out the argument they had, it was all blurry, but doctor George said it was her memories, coming back in pieces, they had to go the hospital today too, it was time to remove her bandages. Eleana had began working at ML construction, Shawn's company, a week ago, as an intern under the project management team. When she took this course she wanted to help Dane in his company, never did she expect she will be working under a construction company, one owned by the mysterious Shawn Dele who happened to be her daughters friend. Since the last visit over a month ago, she hadn't seen him but do hear his voice when Georgina calls him, which she does almost everyday. The project management team headed by Arnold were very friendly and welcoming to her, exclu
Clang......... The sound of a metal hitting the floor could be heard as a body flown across the table. Standing up Eleana chuckled with a bloody mouth; "So it has gotten to this right? Bringing your mistresses home to stay in the same house with your kids!!!! Are you even human Dane?!!!"." You can have your fill outside I don't care but this.....this....this is the last straw". Eleana said in an enraged tone."Human?? Ha.... You dare to talk back at me woman? You sure have gotten bold, how dare you!!!? This house belongs to me, I am the man of this house and you have to abide by my rules"." I say who can and cannot enter this house woman and not you, this was just a warning cause the next time you dare interrupt my pleasure time with my baby I will "......"You will what!???? Eleana interrupted. "Huh,,,,beat me? rape me? or take me to those whore house and make me watch you pleasure yourself ? What else can you do?"..."You're testing my patience woman, don't push me"....."Mum
The next morning, Eleana was up early and got her children ready for school, she prepared ths things they needed and took them to school herself without waiting for her husband to wake up. It was still early so Eleana had to wait for sometime before heading to their school. She took them for a jolly ride and drove back when it was quarter past seven as the school opens at seven-thirty. She parked the car and they all came down. Eleana carried Isabelle, her second daughter on her arms while she held Ginny's hand and led them to the school gate. The teachers were already at the gate welcoming the pupils, the gate was less crowded as it was still early. Eleana put down Isabelle and walked her to her teacher. "Goodmorning Mrs Dane, you are quite early today". Isabelle's teacher greeted her. "Morning Miss. Yeah, we decided to be early. Alright Belle, say hello to your teacher". "Hello", Isabelle repeated in her tiny childish voice. "Hello sweet Isabelle, you look more beautiful tod
