After Miranda entered the room,she shut the door behind her. She needed to call her assistant and make several adjustments to her schedule. Now that she can't go to the office,she'll be forced to work from home and that includes attending meetings online. Weeks went by with Miranda still staying at Justin's villa. For some reason,the news about the CEO of Lambert group being seen kissing Justin kept getting more attention every day. people were discussing why would an independent woman like her get involved with a scandalous man like Justin, ofcourse Justin's fans would stand by and accuse Miranda of seducing their idol.Some people even started speculating that maybe she was ugly despite being rich, that's why she tried to create a scandal with Justin. Others said that maybe she was old and wanted to trap Justin into marriage using the scandal.Seeing the two presenters on TV talking about it, Miranda scoffed. How could people be so idle as to sit down and start discussing her? Were

" You are right,no man can tolerate me." Miranda replied casually but Justin still heard the pain in her words.He was taken aback,it was the first time she did not utter arrogant words. He wondered what could be the story behind her pain.He has to figure it out."Am sorry,I didn't mean it." Justin swallowed his pride and apologised." It's okay,you don't need to be." Miranda replied, changing the channel to her favourite documentary station.Justin could only shake his head. Which lady in her mid twenties watches documentaries? Aren't they supposed to be watching romance movies?But he knew from experience that Miranda was no regular lady he was acquainted with. She was not a normal case.He decided to leave her alone and head upstairs,he was tired from shooting all day long. It was at this moment when he thought perhaps going back and living as the prince he was was better.Justin went to take a rest while Miranda stayed in the sitting room watching documentaries. She was bored to

But Ava still held it and decided to confront the devil himself. She was not one to cower in fear and succumb to her worries. If he dared to try something funny, she'll just retaliate. Twenty minutes later, the convoy arrived at the entrance of a company. The three who had driven here by the company van stepped down." THE JOHNSON COMPANY"Those were the words engraved on the entrance of the company. Just who in the whole of Country A did not know of the Johnston family? Ava shivered thinking of a memory twelve years down the drain. She was 12 years old by then. Ava had gone to visit her grandmother over the school holiday. She had enjoyed her vacation but something happened on the last day of her visit. The village was attacked or let's say the Village was caught in between a crossfire between two mafia groups.She can still remember how people were gunned down before her eyes. She had gone to the village playground when the whole thing started so she rushed back to seek refuge.

Ronald then passed two contracts to Mr Adams. Looking at the contracts,one was written " the model" and the other" blue ocean entertainment." Not quite understanding why they were two he voiced his question. " Mr Ronald, why do I see two contracts? I thought it should be a single one?"Ronald who had been busy admiring the queen of his heart was irritated hearing the question. He wondered whether the CEO was ignorant or plain stupid." Different contracts for different parties. The agency has a different contract from the model's" He explained impatiently." Why should I have a different contract? I am signed under blue ocean so we only need to sign one." Ava complained but Ronald remained quiet. He just glanced at the CEO, his gaze was deep as if telling him to control his models.Mr Adams shivered in his seat. He could feel a thick cold sweat run down his back. Even after being in the industry for so long,it's the first time he encountered such a scary man.He himself wasn't one t

Ava took hurried steps out of the company, she didn't want to spend a moment longer here. God knows what she can do to that man if she stays any longer. One thing she was sure of now is that either he was out for revenge or he was here to fulfil his words from twelve years ago but irrespective of his reasons,he had absolutely no right to try and get her with such ridiculous terms.Flagging a cab, she didn't even wait for her poor manager who was on the run to reach her. As if the driver was sensing her distress,he does away leaving a dumbfounded August alone.After riding for almost ten minutes, Ava realised that he hadn't told the driver her destination but was somehow surprised that he was taking the exact route to her house. She shivered thinking that she could have earned herself yet another stalker. In showbiz it was not a new thing for a superstar to have crazy and obsessive fans turning to stalkers, she was once a victim of stalking. That crazy fan would stalk her all day and

" Do you like your new home?" Ronald asked. " It's you again!" Ava said, her voice trembling."Why am I here?" She asked." You are working under me and the contract dictates that you live with me of course." Ronald replied nonchalantly." I haven't signed the contract yet, this is considered as kidnapping,I could sue you." Ava threatened but she knew very well that it was useless. " Oh you can try darling." Ronald replied and chuckled, annoying Ava even more." What exactly do you want? Please let me go?" Ava pleaded." Oh you know very well what I want, Ava Adams." Ronald replied seriously." Is this about the slap I gave you?" She asked,her voice shivering." Oh no darling, but I will collect my interest for that slap you gave me." " Then what the hell do you want?" Ava asked, her voice raised." I want you my wife, don't you think it's about time I claim what is mine?" Ronald replied." And is this the way you claim a woman? By caging her using a damn contract? What am I? A

You are my manager. What do you mean you have no idea? Besides, why do I have to call the CEO? Since when did models start talking directly to the CEO?": Ava questioned not quite believing her manager knew nothing about her predicament. Are they using such tricks to force her to sign the contract? "'Am serious here Ava,I was told to go home until I receive a call from the company so I know nothing of what is happening."August insisted." Okay." Ava said, disconnecting the call. It seems that this matter was out of the hands of her manager. She figured out the only way to know the way forward was to call the CEO directly. It's not like she had a choice. The call was accepted immediately, making Ava wonder if the CEO had been waiting for her call and his next words proved her thoughts right." Ava dear,I have been waiting for your call." The Man said, dropping the formalities between them. Mr Adams had figured out that if he wanted to be in a safe place,he had to make Ava sign that c

Having made the decision, Ava turned back and started walking back to the house she had escaped from. She had two thoughts in mind,save what could be saved and give him another chance. If he treated her a little better,she was willing to let it go and start afresh with him. Just then,he phone rang. She was exhausted from all the walking earlier and then the emotional turmoil she just went through but she still accepted the call. " Hello?" She knew exactly who was calling. Was he calling to perhaps gloat at her? She hoped not. She was in no mood for that shit now."You sound tired." Ronald said, his voice full of concern." Tired or not, that's none of your business." Ava replied immediately, her voice full of irritation and impatience." That's where you are getting it all wrong Ava, everything about you is my business, you are mine Ava, always remember that." Ronald declared possessively. He didn't want to argue with her, he just wanted to have a decent talk with her but why wa

After the glaring contest ended, Justin helped Ezekiel to the house. They all sat on the couches and silence reigned in the house. No one said anything, nothing could be said either way." Now that we have found Ezekiel,I think we should leave the couple alone. I am sure they have a lot to say to each other." Miranda finally proposed and they all agreed. Minutes later, only Ezekiel and Lucia remained in the house." Why honey. Why didn't you tell me?" Lucia tried to gather her composure and try not to break down in front of Ezekiel.

She greeted with a bow." Yeah,we came as soon as we got the letter. What's happening here my daughter?" Mrs Mendez asked. To her,the four Ladies passed as her daughters." A letter? From Who?"

Ezekiel thanked the doctor for keeping his health condition from Lucia but the doctor informed him that he did it for her. Seeing that she was pregnant and knew nothing about his condition,he decided to keep it a secret from her. He then urged him to break the news to her because according to his diagnosis,he barely had two months to live. Ezekiel assured him that he would definitely discuss the matter with Lucia and thanked him yet again before leaving to Join Lucia who was waiting for him in the waiting lobby." That took you a long time to just say thank you." Lucia commented. He had been gone for fifteen minutes which according to her was a long time for just a thank you." He was occupied and I had to wait for him." Ezekiel replied casually trying to keep a straight face. Lucia didn't probe further and dropped the topic. She was so exhausted and jet lagged that she went to bed immediately after they got home.After ensuring that she was asleep, Ezekiel took his phone and went to

Tomorrow marked the second week of their long vacation. Ezekiel was very secretive of their last destination. He told Lucia that it was meant to be a surprise for them and he didn't reveal until they were receiving their boarding pass. Upon checking their last visiting destination, Lucia's eyes widened with both surprise and excitement. Of all places, Ezekiel decided to close their vacation by taking her to Africa and precisely to Kenya,her dream country." Honey,did you do this on purpose?" She asked,tears of happiness streaming down without restraint. Ste was deeply touched by his consideration. Along the way he had taken her to places sfe wished to visit but she never in her wildest dreams think that he would take her to visit Kenya as their last destination. She couldn't help but kiss him In Front of the people." This was supposed to be our vacation, not just mine. I have known for a long time that you have always dreamt of visiting that country so I chose it as our last destinat

The following morning, Ezekiel was the first to wake up. By the time Lucia woke up,she found Ezekiel ready with two packed suitcases." Good morning my Queen." Ezekiel greeted pecking her lips." Morning." Lucia replied, eyeing him then added," going somewhere?" She inquired. Yesterday,he didn't mention going anywhere. What was more surprising was the fact that one of the suitcases belonged to her." Yes,we are going somewhere." Ezekiel replied with a smile on his face. After last night,he figured out that before going to meet his maker,he might as well fulfil some of the wishes piled up. He had always wanted to tour the world with the woman he loved. He still had like three weeks before completely losing his sight,he might as well take advantage of that available time and fulfil that wish." You didn't mention something about that yesterday!" Lucia stated." I decided on it overnight. I want to take you on a vacation as we tour the world together. After this month,I'll be busy with c

Lucia had this unsettling feeling that something was up with Ezekiel but she couldn't say what exactly. How did she know? His frequent out of mind moments. She had caught him staring at her with pity filled eyes. Sometimes,his expressions would spell sorry. She couldn't quite understand why he looked sorry towards her.Pushing those thoughts at the back of her mind,she decided to go prepare something for him to eat once he woke up. He had been the one taking care of her all these days so while he rested, she figured out she should return the favour. Another reason was because she had noticed that his body was declining and his appetite poor. These days,he hardly eats anything and would always say he's full. That was alarming according to LuciaShe cooked his favourite chicken rice and veggies. She didn't forget to prepare pumpkin soup which was known for increasing appetite.Evening came and Kiel had slept for six good hours, something that added more to Lucia's suspicion. Despite how
