" 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
" My situation with Miranda is different from yours Ron, besides how did it change to be about me?" Justin asked mortified. That guy Ronald had a way to get to his nerves. " Nothing is different Justin, you are just being a coward. What? The country's casanova is now scared of women?" Ronald jabbed him More." I don't want to talk to you anymore, just a piece of advice bro, women don't like to be forced when it comes to matters of the heart. Continue with whatever you are doing and don't come to me crying that she left you,I am warning you." Justin said and dropped the call. He couldn't continue talking with that Savage guy. He had a way to rub salt to his already open wounds.Ronald chuckled after Justin hung up on him. It wasn't his intention to taunt him,not at all. Being friends for years with him, Ronald could proudly say he knew Justin More than even how his parents knew him. He knew that the reputation he had earned for himself was nothing but a facade he used so that netiz
" Am sorry for shouting at you but do that next time,not everything you see is harmless, some are snakes and you might find yourself bitten." Young Ronald had said seriously. " Okay,I'll listen to big brother." Ava replied.After changing his clothes,to a girly pinkish dress, Ronald took a one hundred and eighty degree transformation. The cold beauty before turned to a chubby little princess. Ava was really amazed. " You are so beautiful big brother." She said her eyes worshipped the figurine before her. Ronald blushed hearing her compliments. He felt like a young bride who dressed purposely to attract attention and seek praises from her groom." I'm leaving!" He declared. He had to leave because something about the little girl affected him. He was at the age of fourteen where boys started experiencing adolescence. He could feel something arise from the depths of his body. He concluded that the little innocent girl was toxic to his body." Wait! You haven't told me your name." Ava
" Run my little kitten,run! Soon enough,I'll have you where I want you to be." Ava thought with a smirk. She wondered how long he'll have to escape her? Will he last long before succumbing to the temptation? ? She'll Just wait and watch.If he wants to play,then she'll play along. ' two can play this game Ronald.' Ava thought, taking her seat.The two ate their lunch in silence. Ronald enjoyed everything his woman had prepared for him. He could even taste love in the dishes or was that ridiculous? He wished that the rest of his days could be spent just like this. He and Ava, seated together, sharing everything in life together." When are we going to pick your stuff from your house?" Ronald asked. It would do him good if Ava could wear at least a dress. That could cover her a little More. " What's the hurry? I find your clothes comfortable." Ava's reply came with a subtle wink." You can't be going to the company wearing my clothes." Ronald reasoned out loud,the truth was he just coul
"Call me that once More Ava,I swear you wouldn't know how I stripped you and buried my c**k deep inside your p*say." Ronald threatened making Ava swallow heavily. There's something about his threat that turned her on more than scaring her." And about your question earlier,I think you already know what it is that I want Ava." He seriously said looking straight into her eyes, baring his heart to her to either take care or trample on it. Ronald,the formidable Mafia king who was feared by people,whose enemies will shiver upon seeing him, was now showing his woman that he was at her Mercy. That before her,he was no King, he was just a regular man begging to be loved back by the only person he ever loved in his life.His gaze was enough to drench Ava's knickers with her sex juices. She thought she was in control but damn, she was so wrong about that, he was still in control,in control of her heart,her body, her reactions. Twelve years later and the sight of him was awakening something she
Today, Miranda woke up in high spirits. She washed her face and made her way downstairs. She went straight to the kitchen to make them breakfast. Today, She was in high spirits and decided to do what she does whenever she wakes up this excited, Make a new dish.Those who knew Miranda knew that she was a disaster when it came to cooking, okay let's not exaggerate things. She knew atleast how to prepare noodles and some fried eggs but that was where her skills exceeded.Everytime she entered the kitchen, her friends would tease her if she's going to concote poison. But Miranda had one policy in life, practice makes it perfect,that's what her grandfather would always tell her so she decided to practise that policy in honing her cooking skills.She of course didn't leave behind her co- Cook,her phone. That's where she'll be getting her new recipe. Opening her cooking app,age browsed through what could be perfect for breakfast. She was also doing this to thank the lad upstairs who had acco
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. At this point,she understood that he needed her support more than ever." I thought this is the best way to not burden you. I knew that I would lose my eyesight anytime soon. I am also about to leave this world. What's wrong with wanting to spend my last days alone?" Ezekiel replied. He didn't like this topic but he knew he couldn't avoid talking about it either." If it was me in this situation, will you abandon me?" Lucia Inquired calmly." Ofcourse I wouldn'
One week. Two weeks and the news about Ezekiel's whereabouts never reached the girl's ears. They followed the lawyer who was the legal advisor of Ezekiel and the Hawk construction company but never got to trace Ezekiel. The newly appointed CEO also refused to say anything about Ezekiel's whereabouts. The secretary knew nothing about his boss' departure.Lucia tried begging Ezekiel's parents but they refused to talk saying they respected their son's decision. The four girls were seated together with their fiances and husbands. They had tried looking everywhere for Ezekiel all in vain ." He must be somewhere in the country. I already checked every record from the airport. Ezekiel never Left this country,but where could he be hiding?" Miranda wondered out loud."Isn't there a place, Maybe a property he bought secretly?" Ronald asked Justin who had a contemplating look on his face." Now that you mention it,he once talked about a beach house he liked and was planning to buy. Back then he
While they were still contemplating on where to start their investigation,the doorbell rang." I'll get that, " Ava said, walking downstairs. Looking through the peephole,they saw Lucia's parents standing at the door,worry evident in their eyes. She opened the door and offered them a polite smile." Aunty, uncle you are here." 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?" Ava asked, puzzled." From Ezekiel. He said he wanted to officially break the engagement and set Lucia free. He also talked about taking care of his daughter for him." Mrs Mendez replied." It seems he was really prepared to leave." Ava mumbled but her words were caught by Mr Mendez." What do you mean dear, where is he going and why does he have to cancel the engagement if he would be coming back." Mr Mendez asked, puzzled." Aunty, uncle it seems like Ezekiel is not com
" I Know by the time you get this letter I will be away,far away from you and my daughter but will be thinking about you.I am sorry my love,I know sorry will not fix anything and you must be cursing me for being a scumbag, which I am .I love you Lucia but I will not become a burden in your Life just because I love you. I set you free,live your Life and take care of our daughter. I already sent an engagement cancellation request to your parents and explained myself. I hope you can forgive me.All arrangements for her future have been made,you don't have to worry about her finances, ofcourse I know that's the least of your worries.I left a video,let her watch it when she turns twelve,tell her that Daddy loves her the most and most importantly, don't come looking for me."Ezekiel.By the time she finished reading the letter, streams of tears were flowing down, wetting her clothes. So that's it? Was that the end of it all? Why didn't he wait for her and tell her those words instead of l
, After dropping Lucia off to work, Ezekiel went straight to the office. He had a few things to do before taking his leave away from his family, his love. He ringed his lawyer and instructed him to prepare a ownership transfer of all his properties, including the company.He also called a number and when the call was connected,he briefly said. " Meet me at my private Villa by the beach tonight."Arriving at the office,he called his secretary to give him a few instructions." I have transferred ten percent of the company shares to your name. I am resigning and never coming back. Please be here to guide the person who will take over after me and probably when my heir finally succeeds, support him too. Take care of yourself and your young madam while I am away." Ezekiel instructed his secretary to widen his eyes in astonishment." Boss,are you going anywhere? Why don't you let me accompany you?" He asked. After working with Ezekiel for years,he had gotten used to him. Their relationship
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
