Christopher.Curiosity is a burden, I must say. It was as if a heavy burden Was lifted off me when she said it wasn’t about me. When she acknowledged the little me, Every part of me jumps in triumph. I want more, and I knew I would be asking for more, but expressing my feelings right there caught me off, guard. It was a perfect slip of the tongue. Even though her delay is not denial, it does not sit well with me. With her, there is a different feeling that surely suits my nerves, body, and soul. I want to feel that way again, at that very moment. As I journeyed back home, all I was thinking about was how to make it happen sooner enough. I hate excuses. It turns my stomach and right now, I believe she just gives an excuse to control her time with me, might even be me. It is not far-fetched from that gender. Almost home, an idea came to my mind and I put a call across to Darren immediately. “Get every information about Kate. The things she is into at the moment, her family, friends,
KateIt is another gloomy day for Kate and me. I would of course be lying if I say her condition has not improved since the breakup. It is quite surprising how fast she is healing. She has not had anything despite how much I’ve tried to convince her. She hasn’t gotten out of bed either, and opening the window blind for exposure would definitely be a death sentence for me. However, crying is now a seldom activity, and trust me that is the progress we’re talking about because it’s huge. The idea of grieving Bev in my head is way higher than the vibe she is giving me, which I must say is comforting. Today we go harder she must get out of bed.I have been thinking about how to get that done. The only idea coming to my head is getting out of the house to someplace fun to enjoy ourselves. Luckily for me, Chris has sent me money yesterday for, you know, my service. It's going to be difficult convincing Bev, that I know because that lovely girl is hard but fragile. However, I am bent on not
KateIt was quite a long drive. The Limousine finally stopped moving and this time around we were escorted out of the car to what I recognised at once as an expensive restaurant. Right from the time we got down from our ride, eyes fell on us. Getting out of a limousine is no child's play. I could feel different eyes follow me as we entered the restaurant with bodyguards walking around us. We were led to a more fancy seat close to the pool. It is obviously a VIP section. Immediately after we settled in our seats, the attendant came to us with the menu. I looked at one of the security men, he seemed to be the head of them all as I have noticed they all take instructions from him. I looked at him again with contempt and he discharged the attendant immediately. It is high time he told me what is going on. “Where is your boss?” I asked politely, directing my question to the head of security. “He will not be coming ma'am” He answered bowing politely. “so why are we here?” I have been
KateAs I got closer to him, I could feel my heart racing with excitement. I do not know what came over me but I knew what I wanted and I was not going to let this opportunity slip by. I leaned in and kissed him, feeling his lips respond to mine with passion. We kissed for what felt like an eternity before he pulled away, looking into my eyes with a mixture of desire and hesitation. “I shouldn't have done that,” I said to myself staring back into his desirous eyes. This is my first time kissing a man and the first I would feel the urge. Chris keeps running a hand through his hair. He also seems restless. If I was his first then I am almost certain this is the first time he would be kissing a woman too. His voice interrupted my thoughts. “you want to stop now, don't you?”I could see the conflict in his eyes, but I wasn't willing to give up just yet. “But you want it too, don't you?” I whispered, tracing a finger along his jawline. “Don't fight it.”He hesitated for a moment longe
I have been anticipating the night with Kate ever since we separated last night. The kiss meant the world to me. It means there is a chemistry between us. I am not just the one with the feelings. She would not have kissed me if she does not have feelings for me. I decided to call Kelvin to give him update. I have been keeping things from Darren and I know he would soon protest. For now, his wife can have him. "Bro, I just can't get Kate out of my head, man. Ever since that night at the club, I've been thinking about her non-stop. Her body is out of this world, and the way she moves... damn, it's like she's casting a spell on me or something.""I know I can't let this obsession get the best of me. I've got a reputation to uphold, and my business to run. But damn, I've never felt this way about a girl before. I've always been able to keep my emotions in check, but with Kate... it's like she's got some kind of hold on me."I talked to Darren about it, and he's right. He said I need to t
The morning sun peeked through the curtains, signaling the start of a new day. I shifted in bed, trying not to wake Kate, who was still sound asleep in my arms.I couldn't help but admire her as she slept. Her hair was tousled, and her face was peaceful. I knew that she didn't want a relationship, but I couldn't help feeling a strong connection to her.As if sensing my thoughts, Kate stirred and opened her eyes. She smiled sleepily at me, and I couldn't help but smile back."Good morning," she said, stretching her arms."Good morning," I replied, brushing a strand of hair away from her face.We lay in bed for a while longer, just enjoying each other's company. But eventually, we both knew that we had to get up and start the day.I got out of bed and went to the bathroom to freshen up. When I returned, Kate was already dressed and sitting on the edge of the bed."I have to go to work," I said, looking at her apologetically."It's okay," she said, trying not to sound disappointed. "I ha
As I sat at my desk in my office, my mind wandered to Kate once again. I couldn't seem to shake her from my thoughts, no matter how hard I tried. I had met her at a bar a few weeks ago, and ever since then, I couldn't get her out of my head. The problem was, she was a stripper, and I knew that getting involved with her could be trouble.I was so lost in thought that I didn't even hear Rita come into the room. It wasn't until she called my name that I snapped out of it."Christopher, are you okay?" she asked, looking at me with concern.I shook my head, trying to clear my thoughts. "Sorry, Rita. I was just lost in thought."She gave me a sympathetic smile. "Anything you want to talk about?"I hesitated for a moment, wondering if I should confide in my secretary about my personal life. But something about Rita's kind eyes and friendly demeanor put me at ease."I was just thinking about women," I admitted.Rita chuckled. "Well, that's not surprising. You're a single man, after all."I smi
I sat on the couch, staring at my phone for what felt like the millionth time today. No messages, no calls, nothing from Chris. I sighed, feeling a pang of worry in my chest. It wasn't like him to go silent for this long, especially not without a word."Still no word from him?" Beverly asked, walking into the room and sitting down next to me."No, nothing," I replied, feeling a little defeated."Maybe he's just busy with work or something," she suggested."Maybe," I said, not sounding convinced. "But he hasn't even been to the club or anything. And he's not answering my calls or texts."Beverly nodded sympathetically. "I'm sure he'll get in touch soon. You know how he gets when he's really focused on something."Bev does not even know him. I knew she was trying to make me feel better, but it wasn't helping much. I couldn't shake this feeling that something was off.Just then, my phone rang. I picked it up quickly, hoping to see Chris's name on the screen, but instead, it was an unkno
As the days passed, my pregnancy progressed, and the time for our little one's arrival drew near. Chris and I eagerly prepared for the big day, attending birthing classes together and making sure everything was ready for the baby's arrival.One evening, as we were having dinner at home, I felt a sudden, sharp pain in my abdomen. I winced and placed a hand on my belly, feeling a rush of excitement and nervousness."Chris, I think... I think it's happening," I said, trying to catch my breath.Chris's eyes widened, and he immediately jumped into action. "Okay, okay, let's get you to the hospital," he said, helping me up from my chair.We hurriedly grabbed the hospital bag we had prepared and made our way to the car. Chris drove carefully but with a sense of urgency, knowing that our baby was on the way.As we arrived at the hospital, the contractions became more intense, and I clung to Chris's hand for support. He stayed by my side every step of the way, offering words of encouragement a
As I was discharged from the hospital, Beverly and Chris were by my side, supporting me every step of the way. The weight of the challenging times had lifted, and I felt a renewed sense of hope and gratitude.Beverly couldn't contain her happiness as we arrived home. "I'm so glad everything has died down," she exclaimed. "All those rumors have been debunked, and people now understand the truth.""I'm thankful for your support and understanding," I said, giving her a warm hug. "You've been there for me through thick and thin, and I couldn't have asked for a better friend."Chris smiled, chiming in, "Yes, thank you, Beverly. Your friendship has meant the world to both of us. We're truly grateful for everything you've done."As we settled into the living room, to our surprise, Beverly's fiancé walked in. He had a smile that reached from ear to ear, and he seemed eager to share something special."Beverly," he said, taking her hand in his, "I've watched you be a pillar of support for Kate
As the days passed, the rumors surrounding Kelvin's case began to circulate, and I could feel the impact it was having on my company. The whispers of scandal and disgrace were like poison, spreading rapidly and tarnishing the reputation of the business I had worked so hard to build.One morning, as I sat in my office trying to focus on work, Darren approached me with a grave expression on his face. "Chris, we need to talk," he said, his voice serious.I gestured for him to take a seat, already sensing the weight of his words. "What's going on, Darren?" I asked, bracing myself for whatever news he had to share."There are rumors going around about Kelvin's case," he began cautiously. "People are connecting the dots, and they're starting to associate his actions with our company. It's already affecting our reputation, and clients are expressing concerns."My heart sank at his words. I knew that the situation was delicate, but hearing it spelled out like this was disheartening. I had alw
Christopher The following morning, as the sun rose on a new day, I knew that we had to face the challenges ahead. Despite the pain and turmoil, I was determined to support Kelvin through the legal process, ensuring he had the best lawyer to represent him.I made the necessary preparations, contacting the most reputable lawyers I could find and arranging meetings to discuss Kelvin's case. While it was difficult to navigate the legal complexities, I knew that giving Kelvin a fair chance was essential.In the midst of the preparations, I couldn't shake off the overwhelming sadness that engulfed our home. Kate was packing her belongings, preparing to move out. The sight of her gathering her things tore at my heart, and I couldn't help but feel a sense of desperation to make things right.As she passed by me, carrying a box filled with her belongings, I reached out to stop her gently. "Kate, please, let's talk," I pleaded, my voice filled with emotion.She looked at me, her eyes reflectin
Christopher As I stood outside Kate's room, my heart felt heavy with a mix of emotions - fear, sadness, and desperation. I couldn't believe that our relationship had come to this point, where the pursuit of justice could potentially tear us apart. I loved Kate with all my heart, and the thought of losing her was unbearable.I knocked gently on her door, hoping she would let me in. When she finally opened the door, her eyes were red from crying, and it pained me to see her like this. "Kate, please, can we talk?" I pleaded, trying to keep my voice steady.She nodded and let me in, but there was a distance between us that I had never felt before. As we sat down, I could see the determination in her eyes - she had made up her mind about taking legal action, and nothing I said seemed to sway her."I understand why you're doing this, Kate," I said, trying to find the right words. "But please consider the consequences this could have on our family. Taking legal action against my brother wil
Kate Kelvin arrived at our home for the conversation, visibly nervous and remorseful. His eyes were filled with regret as he sat across from me, and I could tell that he was struggling to find the right words to say."Kate, I am so sorry for what I did," he began, his voice shaking. "I can't even begin to express how deeply I regret my actions. I betrayed your trust, and I can never make up for the pain I've caused you."I listened to his apology, feeling a mix of emotions. While part of me wanted to believe that he was genuine in his remorse, the hurt he had inflicted was still fresh in my mind."Kelvin," I said, trying to keep my voice steady. "Your apology is important, but it doesn't change what happened. I need you to understand that forgiving you is not something I can do lightly."He nodded, looking down at his hands. "I know," he said quietly. "I don't expect you to forgive me right away, if ever. I just hope that someday you can find it in your heart to see that I truly regr
As the morning sun rose, casting a warm glow into the room, I woke up to find Beverly standing at the doorway. She had a worried expression on her face, and as soon as our eyes met, she rushed to my side."Kate, are you okay? I heard what happened last night," Beverly said, her voice filled with concern.I sat up, still feeling a bit overwhelmed by everything that had transpired. "It's been a tough night, Bev," I admitted, tears welling up in my eyes again. "But I'm trying to be strong."Beverly hugged me tightly, offering the comfort I needed. "You don't have to be strong all the time, Kate," she said softly. "It's okay to feel hurt, angry, and confused. But remember that I'm here for you, no matter what."I took a deep breath, finding comfort in Beverly's presence. "Thank you," I whispered. "I don't know what I would do without you."As I recounted the events of the night to Beverly, she listened attentively, her anger growing with each detail. When I told her about Kelvin's admissi
As Christopher held me close, I could feel the weight of his emotions. His grip on my hand tightened, and I knew that he was hurting too. We sat there in silence for a while, both trying to process the truth that had just been revealed."I'm so sorry, Chris," I whispered, my voice choked with tears. "I never wanted to keep this from you."He looked at me, his eyes filled with pain and understanding. "I know, Kate," he said softly. "You were trying to protect me, and I appreciate that. But I wish you had told me. We should have faced this together.""I was afraid," I admitted, tears streaming down my cheeks. "I was scared of how you would react, of what it would mean for us."Christopher wiped away my tears gently. "You don't have to be afraid, Kate," he said. "I love you, and I will always stand by you, no matter what."As we held each other, the floodgates of emotions opened, and we both wept bitterly. It was a painful and cathartic release, but I felt a sense of relief in knowing th
As Kelvin knocked on the door to the room I now stayed in, my heart pounded loudly in my chest. I couldn't believe that after all these years, he had the audacity to show up and ask if we could talk. Anger and pain bubbled up inside me, and I couldn't hold back my emotions."Talk? Talk about what?" I yelled, my voice shaking with rage. "You ruined my life! You destroyed me!"Kelvin's face remained calm, but I could see a flicker of remorse in his eyes. "Kate, please," he pleaded. "I know I messed up, and I'm so sorry for what I did.""Sorry? That's all you have to say?" I spat back at him. "Do you even know what you've done to me?""I do, and I can never forgive myself for it," Kelvin said, his voice filled with regret. "I was young and stupid, and I let my ego get in the way.""Your ego?" I scoffed. "You raped me, Kelvin. You left me broken and traumatized. And then you let your friends take advantage of me too."Tears streamed down my face as I confronted the painful memories that I
