CreedI sat on the sofa in the room. I haven't slept here since the night we had dinner with our families. I just slept in the sitting room upstairs after Athena has gone to bed and I still wake up before her.Athena laid Ava on the bed with her. She sat on the bed, looking over ava."I'm sorry. It was all my fault that happened to our daughter. I gave you my word that I wouldn’t mess things up but I didn't keep to it." I spoke and my voice echoed in the room. She turned off the lights when she got into the room, I could only see her shadow."Shut the fuck up,Creed. We are both at fault, don’t you close your eyes if you are sorry about this." She said quietly and everywhere fell silent again. I heard sniffs come from her."Are you crying?" I asked worriedly. I got up from the sofa and I climbed the bed. I felt Ava's forehead to check her temperature.I touch Athena's face after mustering all the courage in the world.Luckily she didn't flinch or flap a slap on my face.. Her face was
Athena“Layla, please ask the funds manager to come into my office.” I said into the landline.“Got it. Mr. Luke called in to say your husband was going to come in a little late after your lunch break.” “Okay.” Creed has been bringing Ava to take breast milk every lunch break. She is now six months old and she barely takes breast milk during the day. She only likes it in the middle of the night.I asked Creed to sleep in the bed with me and Ava because she is always on the bed throughout the night instead of her cot. I figure that she wanted more space to roll on while sleeping.I have many pictures of the two of them sleeping with Ava’s little legs on her dad’s head. I now wake up before Creed which wasn’t like that before. I always hope that he does get to see my phone because I have a lot of pictures of him sleeping and a few unaware.Call me weird, this man looks so good that I can’t help but take pictures of him. I also had one of him when he was cooking shirtless.“Athena.” A
CreedMy brother signed the contract according to my plan and I have the highest share in the company now. Using an anonymous name was the best idea, I can’t hide till I am ready to show them what I am.I have the power to kick out the chairman of my fathers company with just my shares. That's a dream come through but there is time for everything. I have still not found why Athena Ended up in my room that night. It has been on my mind for a while now.The doctors hid the actual report from her coma and it said she was drugged. I saw it because the nurse thought I was my dad. The doctor stepped in and hid the report when he saw what was going on and He gave me another report saying the one I first read wasn’t for Athena. I'd tell luck to ask the detective to look into it. That would cost a lot but I'm ready to spend it.Luke said he was going to take me to my birth mom's grave today but he didn't show up at the park we were supposed to meet. I waited for 30 minutes and he didn't come.
Creed"Creed, your phone has been ringing for a while now." Athena tapped me occasionally."Please pass me my phone." I replied to her and I closed my eyes again. She handed me my phone and I picked the calls up."Come home for dinner alone. Don't come with your wife and kid." My father's cold voice said into the phone. He hung up almost immediately.I got up from the bed. He just ruined my beautiful nap. I rarely sleep in the afternoon but today was a nice Saturday plus Athena was at home.She and Ava are literally inseparable sometimes. Today is one of those days. I stretched my hand to carry Ava but her mom held close her chest and told me to let her mom daughter time."My dad asked me to come home for dinner today." I sighed."Is it not too late? I mean why is he just telling you." She inquired."He told me to come alone, obviously the whole family wanted to have the dinner without me and he decided to invite me on impromptu." I explained."Are you going?" She got up from the bed
AthenaCreed tiptoed into the room thinking I wasn’t awake. Truth is, I woke up immediately and he opened the door. I will have a carpenter to see to the creaking sound that is coming from the door. The creak that came from the door was loud"Mr King." I called and he dropped his shoes in shock. He looked me in the eyes."Don't scare me like that, Athena." He pouted then he picked his shoes from the floor. I started giggling."It's not funny." He put his shoes on the shoe racks and he started taking off his clothes. I ogled at him and he undressed. My eyes bored a hole into his tan back. I felt like running to hug him from the back, he suddenly faced back before removing his pants."You are eye raping me for goodness sake. Sleep please." He grumbled."You woke me up man, you should deal with me and what's bad in me enjoying the view of my husband's body." I stood up from the bed. I moved close to him.He moved back as I followed him till his back hit the wardrobe. I pressed my bare c
Creed My phone rang. Athena was calling. I picked it up. "Hello," she sounded like she was drunk. “Come pick me up, baby. I will send you my location.” She hung up on me. Athena is uncontrollable when she's drunk. Thank God her mom came to pick Ava today. I took a cab to the location she sent me. She was sitting by a bar outside, and I rushed at her. “Look who is here!” She screamed. “My baby boy. “She held my head. Fuck! Her grip was tight. She threw her lips against mine. “I love you so much. You are my favourite person in the world.” She screamed. “I know, Athena. Let’s go home.” I helped her up. “Call me baby, don’t you love me? But I love you. Babydaddy, no I mean daddy! Call me your baby.” She whined. “Athena!” I called her and she started crying. “Baby, come on,stop being like this. Let’s go home.” “You called me baby.’ Her eyes lit up. She threw herself at me, hugging and squeezing the hell out of me.” She let go of me and struggled to bring out her cat keys from
Athena I will never drink again.” I promised my subconscious, and I found myself clinging unto my husband’s body as his hard-on poked my center. This man was sleeping soundly even when he was sending feels into my body. He carried me at once and changed the position he was sleeping in. He spooned me. His breath tickled my neck, but I liked how I felt. This was the first time I was this close to a man. I was going to enjoy it till my bladder decided to ruin the moment. I removed his huge hand that engulfed my body and ran into the bathroom to ease my full bladder. I hurried back into the room to return to his arms, but he was no longer on the bed. Memories of last night hit my head. I am so embarrassed. How can I be begging him to call me baby? I acted like I was love starved, well, I am. Thank God Ava didn’t get to see her mama in an embarrassing manner. Creed came back upstairs with a cup in his hands, he was still in his brief, My eyes fell on his crotch, I was trying to to b
Creed Athena went to take a shower, I suddenly remembered the business card Jethro gave to me. I looked at the laundry basket but it was empty. Shit! I didn't take the card out of my pocket. I raced to the laundry room and I saw the card lying on the floor. I was glad Athena didn’t wash it with my clothes. The doorbell rang and I went to get the door, Aubrey showed up with swollen eyes. Aubrey is Athena’s best friend. She comes to work with Athea during the weekend when they need to overwork. I have heard their story countless times, because Athena loves to ramble about it. "Hello Aubrey, What is wrong with your eyes?" I asked her and a pool of tears rushed down from her face. I ushered her in quickly. "Athena is in the bathroom, I will go get her right after I give a glass of water." I panicked because I don't really know how to handle crying women. I got her a glass of water and ran upstairs. I knocked on the door of the bathroom but Athena was blasting a loud song. I ope
Third person It’s been five years since Luke lost his father. Things have been quite some, Athena had softened towards her father. She was now calm, and made more time for family but there was no doubt that she loved her work so much. Everyone was used to it. Luke’s IT company was now one of the biggest establishments that made a lot of revenues. The couple seemed to plan their life out with work and all. He preferred to work from home and she liked to go to the office. Carrying their second child in her arms, Athena screamed from the sitting room. “Honey, we are going to be late. I need to take Asher to the hospital then head to work after.” “I was brushing Ava’s hair.'' He came downstairs and he looked disappointed. “C’mom, you said you were not going to work till Asher was old enough to walk this time.” “It would have been cool if you had a little interest in business. I already have it hard managing our companies, having to stress about how it would fare in my absence scare
Third person. Luke arrived at his father’s residence instead of going home to clear the air with his wife. The place was rather quiet and he usually had anxiety that attacked him whenever he was going into the building wasn’t there. He didn’t know if his father made a wise decision by sending his stepmom away at his old age. Although there were caregivers to cater to him, they would never be like family. His stepmom wasn’t a saint and had done many evil things but every did deserve a second chance just like the one he was giving his father. If he had the chance to discuss with his father , he was going to mention a thing or two to convince him to let his stepmom back into the huge estate. Waves of feelings flowed through his system as he approached his father’s room, fear wasn’t one of them anymore. He had overcome his biggest problem, the fear of his father. The father left him right after he let go of the grudge he had ashaint him for how he got mistreated. He never had new clo
Third PersonAthena and Luke called each other everyday and never went a day without speaking without speaking to each other. He told her about the progress of his work and how fast things were going.He even assured her that they would be spending less than a year at the training center because the kids were learning so fast. He talked about how their tutor said they completed a two month course in a week and half.He asked his wife to give them a bonus on their usual salary, Athena also told him how work was going, she said her COOs are doing a great job. She told how she never has to go to work too early. She told him how Ava was going to start school soon and she was now called her mama. Athena has started attending Culinary school during the weekends because she is now less busy on weekends.She also worked part time at her mom’s bakery so she could learn to bake. She was determined to impress her husband with her cooking when he came back home. TWO MONTHS LATERAthena was sitt
Third Person “Sir, I don’t think it is the best idea to return home now, we are ending the classes next week, plus testing the AI, team C created and preparing the records we are presenting to the board of shareholder and partnership. We only have the team of service provider and database management on board.” Luke followed Creed closely. “That is enough and Luke I trust you can manage the testing and the records, just fax the analysis and summary to me. I will take it from there and I will be back as soon as I can return, please contact the pilot.” Creed said when he took his shirt off in the changing room and wore a new one. Lukke bowed and he left Creed to dress up. He contacted their pilot and asked him to get the plan ready as soon as possible. He also ordered a car service to Creed to the airport. Creed got on board and he was flown back home. The airport staff welcomed him warmly and provided a car for him to head home. Creed knew Luke had prepared all of that. He drove to
Third Person Athena woke up to her mom’s call, she had argued that she didn’t want to leave the house like her mom had requested but she had to give in. Her mom rambled about how the staff of the bakery were busy and how she didn’t want to leave Athena to strangers before telling her that she needed someone to do some minor grocery shopping. Then she sent the grocery list immediately Athena agreed. She dragged her body into the bathroom for a quick shower. She sat in front of her vanity mirror and took a deep breath. She had bags underneath her eyes from insomnia and crying. She had cried all night, and was unable to sleep, she was heartbroken. She never thought Creed would cheat on her. It must be the woman that seduced him or she fell for his charm, Nevertheless, Athena was so mad that he had been so cozy with the woman in the picture, she was older than him. She rubbed some cream on her body. She went to the wardrobe she had now extended to a closet to pick the clothes she wa

Third person“Papa,” Ava put wet kisses on her father’s face. She always acted like she knew what was going on, she was acting like she knew that he was going to a far place. Athena helped Creed pack his traveling box. She packed every necessity, some gray shirts, skincare products, cotton underwear and his favorite junk food. She carried the traveling box to the lambo’s trunk while he made breakfast for them. She was feeling down because she was going to miss him and she was acting strong so she wouldn't cry.She couldn’t stop him from chasing his dreams. He had the right to especially when he didn’t have the time to chase his dreams immediately after got of college. She ate breakfast in silence, ignoring every talk he threw at her. Creed understood why she was being like that. He stopped throwing the talks at her and fed Ava her breakfast silent. He went to get dressed,Athena got dressed today and drove them down to the airport.“Are you not going to see your father before you le
Third personJethro dialed Athena’s number, and she picked it. It was facetime. The Kings were at The Allens estate for a brunch in celebration for the twins graduation so they stayed overnight on Sarah’s request.“Hello Mr. \jethro, what do we have here?” Athena asked as she surveyed the environment where Jethro was.“I am trying to pick a ring, I want to propose to Aubs.”“She is here with me, you should whisper if you don’t want her to hear you.” Athena pranked him.“Phew! He sighed. “She is at home, Mrs. King and I can see your husband behind you.” Athena burst into laughter. “I don’t think there is a specific ring I can ask you to pick.”“Do you think I should buy a gold, a silver, emerald, diamond or I just buy all and ask her to pick?” He was totally confused.“Well, I have never been proposed to, so I wouldn’t know but what I think you should get a diamond ring, every girl likes diamonds, don’t we?”“Is creed sleeping?” Jethro asked her and she looked to see what he was doing
Third personArtemis had anticipated her graduation so she could focus on her career without having her father on her neck. She majored in songwriting. School was fun for her as she was doing what she loved the most but the life outside school seemed to be appealing to her.She shared an apartment with her twin nerdy twin brother who loved to paint and was obsessed with pottery. The house they shared was filled with paintings of her. Apollo always said his sister was ugly to her face but found it very interesting to paint her every time.She spilled a cup of water on his face. “Wake up grumpy head, we are graduating today.” She yelled in his ear. Apollo got up from the bed and wore his glasses. He was pretty much used to his sister’s attitude.He stopped complaining when she told him it was a sign of love, he knew how he was getting back at her.He strode to the sitting room to pick up their car keys and Artemis followed him clueless. “I see you are quiet this morning? Did you dream o
