A deep sigh escaped my lips before a small smile bloomed. I will miss Stella. And that’s for certain.

The cool breeze from the night hit my face a few seconds later, snapping back to reality. I quickly walked towards the car park and found mine.

The drive home had me thinking of what the future holds for me and Christopher. While everything seems roe going smoothly, I can’t help but be a little worried.

Everything seems too good to be true.

You know, I had once concluded that I was destined to be alone and unloved and zeroed my mind down on any form of expectation, until Christopher came along.

Now, I’m thinking if our relationship will continue with the same energy and last a life time.

I shouldn’t be blamed for having these thoughts as I have gone through hell and beyond to get to this point. See what my parents did to me. I was once their beloved little princess, until I went missing and returned years later.

People can change, that I understand. But one’s parents? That’s

Today is my adopted sister Brenda's birthday party, and many guests comes to celebrate with her.“Brenda!” Mum shouts from behind me. Before I can turn around, she pushes me out of her way. I fall and twist my ankle as she rushes towards Brenda to help her to her feet. Then she turns around and fixes a death stare on me. “Have you lost your mind?! What are you doing being violent towards your sick sister?! ” Mum scolds me with contempt while Brenda stands beside her with an apologetic look on her face and I know she is not sorry about anything. “Are you trying to kill her so you can take her place?!” My mom doesn't trust me at all. That's where I am in this family.“I didn't push her, mom please listen to me.”I begs.“That's enough

    7 AM.The sound of my alarm wakes me with a splitting headache. I feel a dull ache between my thighs as I fumble for my phone to turn off the blaring noise with a hand on my forehead.It is not until I hear a deep breath exhale behind me that I suddenly realize where I am. The memories from last night’s events come crashing into my head as horror fills my gaze.I slowly turn around to see the handsome face of the man who took me to the realm of ecstasy and pain last night. I am almost distracted by his looks.I can’t believe I slept with a stranger last night. I will never say he forced himself on me. Indeed, he seemed pretty much out of it, plus I was so drunk and heartbroken, so the sex naturally happened, but why do I regret my actions now?My eyes brim with hot tears as I think back to everything I’ve been through in less than twenty-four hours. Although it’s nothing compared to what I’ve suffered all my life, I can’t help but cry within me.In a moment of weakness, I emba

    Oh. Good. Lord! I cry in my head. I can literally feel everything inside of me screaming to duck or maybe open the elevator doors and run away, especially when he gives me a stare. If not anything, he looks taken aback by my reaction, and that’s when I recall my mouth is open. I close it before it can swallow a fly. The man standing before me is tall, has broad shoulders, a clean-shaven beard. His hair is sleeked backwards in a Pompadour style and he’s dressed in an expensive grey suit. I know I shouldn’t be paying so much attention to him, but he is hunky and exudes a powerful aura. I can’t believe he is the same man I slept with last night. Although he screams all shades of perfect, I am upset I gave my first time to a total stranger when I wasn't even ready for it. But most importantly, I wonder what he’s doing here at TRANSCORP. He looks away from me and fixes his gaze on the door as he shoves his hands inside his pants pockets. Clearly, he doesn’t recognize m

    If I didn’t know Stella could be this warm since the few weeks I’ve gotten to know her and work closely with her, tonight, proved it.Stella dropped work aside and chatted with us like an older sister. She told us the story of how she met her husband despite her busy schedule.She told us a story about a man who was so kind to her and would do anything to relieve her of her burden. And as she sat right next to me with a glowing smile, something hit me.Christopher was also like her husband; a man who would do anything to relieve me of my burden. Although we’ve only got together, he is someone that doesn’t like to see me suffer.So, hearing Stella talk about her husband, made me appreciate the man in my life. “Having a good man is important, but most importantly, you have to be a good woman to him to balance the equation,” Stella finished as her smiling gaze moved from one person to the other.Her advice struck me as well. Now, I know for a fact that I have to be intentional wit

    Sandra and Lucy seem to have forgotten what I’m made of. I don’t give up easily on anything I’ve set my eyes on unless the chance is 0%. Yes, you heard that right. Even when I failed to secure a job at TRANSCORP, what did I do? In fact, what I did next should let anyone know that I am tenacious. And who can compete with that? --- In quick elegant steps, I arrived in front of my father. And at my presence, he quickly introduced me to the minister of Finance. I exchanged polite pleasantries with the minister before whispering to my Dad’s ear, “Dad, please excuse me. I want to have a word with you for a moment.” The next second, I nodded curtly to the minister with a small polite smile on her lips before leaving. My dad found me alone at a table a minute later and joined me. “And what has my beautiful princess got to say to me?” he asked, a proud smile on his lips as he admired my beauty. Dad loved Mum a lot as I was their only child, he cherished me a lot, and

  • My Redemption with Mr. Tycoon   Barbara's POV

    As soon as I finished making that statement, I brought the glass of champagne to my lips with my left hand to show off my engagement ring. Then I watched with satisfaction as Barbara’s gaze landed on it as something similar to shock and disbelief flashed across her eyes. It pleased me so greatly to see that reaction on her face.My instincts had told me that she had deliberately bright her friends over to greet me just to prove some kind of point to them.I think she was acting like I had honoured her family’s invitation for her sake, but my actions to counter that just now hadn’t been planned before hand. It was merely a reflex; something that just happened to take place.As I don’t have the time to entertain Barbara’s shock, I excused myself from her presence and went away to continue my chats with important men in the industry.---Barbara’s POV.My head swirled with different unbelievable crazy thoughts as my gaze caught the sparkling jewel sleeked around Christopher’s fin

    “What’s funny?” Christopher asked in genuine confusion as he met my gaze, but I quickly shook my head, refusing to answer that question. “Nothing,” I smiled at him. “I shall return to my desk. Have a good day, Mr. Moore, and see you at your lunch.” As soon as I made my statement clear, I opened the door and walked out, shutting it with a soft thud. Then it took me a few moments to recover and adjust my emotions before making my way back to my office. Stella was eagerly waiting for my return which was evident from the way she leaned out of her table as soon as she saw me walk back in. “What is Mr. Moore’s excuse this time around?” she inquired with her gaze on me and I told her the exact reason Christopher gave to me. “Oh…” Stella drawled. She had a mixed expression at the news. While she was happy that Barbara wasn’t promoted because she was deserving of that position, she was still a bit dissatisfied with her. Just like me, she must be wondering if there wasn’t any other w
