" Don't you remember us anymore?" Lily asked Sheila, blinking her eyes expectantly. She was no fool. She could tell that something was wrong with her mommy.She was never the one to ignore others or pretend so the only explanation was : her mother forgot about them.Sheila shook her head. Something about how the girl was looking at her made her heart bleed." The man from earlier, who is he?" Sheila asked." He's our father and your husband." Lily honestly replied." Husband? I have a husband?" Sheila's brows were furrowed. Nobody told her that she was married with a family.Why did they hide the truth from her? She could tell that the girl before her was not lying to her. Why would she? She didn't have a reason to do that." The ring on your necklace, where did you get it from?" Lily asked. It was obviously the same ring her father gave her at their wedding." This?" Sheila asked, touching the ring attached to her necklace." My brother told me that it was given to me by Amelia's fat
One year later" Darling, I think that dress is too tight." David persuaded as he caressed his wife's growing tummy." What do you know? I'm the one wearing the dress and not you." Sheila retorted, glaring at David.Her pregnancy was in her second trimester and was getting bigger." I'm just looking out for you." David said with a pout. Actually, the design she was wearing was showing too much skin at the back and he was displeased about that.Today was Alicia and Caleb's wedding day and his wife was among the bridesmaids." Alicia designed this dress for me and I'm sure she knew I was pregnant. You might as well say that you don't like the design rather than give me some baseless excuses." Sheila exposed David's thoughts, glaring at the man.First, he got her pregnant barely a year after they reunited, now, he wants to dictate what she will wear?" Okay, you can wear it but promise me to cover your back. I don't like others looking at your fair skin. Only I have the right to look at
" Come on Sheila, Why are you taking a century to get ready? The best spots will be occupied by the time we get to the bar." Vee's voice could be heard calling Sheila from the sitting room." Am coming, just give me a second." Sheila yelled back. She was getting ready to go out on a Friday night. Actually, this was a suggestion made by her friend to cheer up after getting fired from the secretary job she had Just acquired a few days earlier.That trashy CEO kicked her away like she was a stray dog after she expressed her stand of not getting involved with him romantically. She could still hear his words ringing in her ears, not forgetting the crisp slap he gave her." The reason I gave you a Job and saved your miserable life is not because you are qualified enough to be my secretary. I just wanted to fuck your brains out. Since you are not interested,get the hell out of my office. I never want to see your pathetic face in my company ever again." He had spat furiously. Sheila could sti
The following morning, Sheila woke up feeling like her head was hammered. How she got home,she had no idea about. All she knew was that she had drowned her sorrows with beer last night.She had thought that she was okay but that was a joke. After last night, she realized how fucked up her life was.Who is Sheila Masons?She was a twenty one year old girl,a graduate from a recognized university in the country. State university. She majored in business management and administration. It was what her parents wanted her to be. Ofcourse,her adoptive parents, Mr and Mrs masons.Three years ago, she Lost both her parents in a terrible road accident. They were driving home with their tricycle on a rainy day when an over speeding car crashed on them. They died on the spot. She Lost her parents on her eighteenth birthday.Sheila had talked to her parents urging them to hurry back home and celebrate her birthday. Her parents owned a food store, that's where they earned their daily bread and manag
Sheila walked back. She had no intention of roaming the City. Walking by the passager path, she came across a food store. The smell of fresh burgers wafted in her nose making her stomach to grumble. She walked to the food vendor and ordered one Burger.After she paid for the one piece, she walked to a nearby park and sat on a bench. She savoured the taste of the delicious piece in her hands. She even licked her fingers after she was done. That One piece was not enough for her hungry stomach but atleast it could sustain her till supper time. She rested for a while before resuming her journey back to her house.She intended to take rest before roaming the streets later to see if she could get lucky and land an evening shift job. That's how she survived for years, she was used to the hardships. what Sheila didn't know was that a Young girl spotted her at the park and has been following her secretly. Being a black belt holder in taekwondo, ofcourse Sheila sensed that someone was followi
It was four in the evening when the door to Sheila's room was knocked. The little girl and her had chatted for good hours before she finally gave to exhaustion and dozed off. Now, she was sleeping peacefully on her tiny bed that couldn't accommodate two people. Sheila was going through today's papers to see any job vacancy to try her luck. Even after failing,she knew that she couldn't loose hope and give up.she put the papers on the coffee table also used as dining table and proceeded to open the door. Hopefully,the little girls family finally found her.Upon opening the door, she was met with a well built man standing on her door. He was dressed in a black fitted suit and donned black sunglasses." Good evening Sir, how may I help you?" Although the man was intimidating with his burly body,he didn't pass as a dangerous Man in the eyes of Sheila.The man said nothing and just stepped aside and behold,stood a man. Six feet tall, medium sized body,well chiseled jawline and sword like b
" Okay princess,it's time to go home." David finally said earning a glare from his daughter. They had quarrelled with Lily in the morning regarding the issue of a mother.Lily had always craved the Love and attention of a mother. But David was reluctant to find a good mother for her. Actually,it wasn't because he wasn't willing,it's because the women he chose were all disliked by his daughter. He would introduce a nice woman to his daughter and Lily would bash at the woman or reject her coldly making him helpless.David knew of his daughter's situation but his lily was picky. He was determined to give her a complete family but everytime, lily would reject the Ladies he introduced to her. Ofcourse,the only purpose he was willing to get married was to give his daughter a complete family so he could only settle With the lady his daughter had approved.He was thirty one years old this year and the matter of love and relationships was not something he was considering,all he cared about was
Sheila went home dejected,with those kind of comments, there's no way she was getting a night job tonight. Deciding not to keep lingering around, she went home waiting to embrace her fate of sleeping on the Streets come tomorrow.It would have been fine if Vee was around. she could have crashed at her best friends house if thrown out but with Vee abroad, she didn't have anywhere else to seek refuge.She regretted not taking her friend's offer of moving in with her. Atleast of she did, she wouldn't be having trouble with a roof over her head. But there was no need to cry over spilt milk, she would cross that bridge tomorrow. With those thoughts, she surrendered to sleep.At the Brown Villa,the father and daughter duo was having a heated staring contest. The servants were having a hard time watching. The atmosphere was dreadful, like anytime the third world war would be erupting soon.David finally gave up. His daughter was very stubborn and never knew the meaning of taking a step back.
One year later" Darling, I think that dress is too tight." David persuaded as he caressed his wife's growing tummy." What do you know? I'm the one wearing the dress and not you." Sheila retorted, glaring at David.Her pregnancy was in her second trimester and was getting bigger." I'm just looking out for you." David said with a pout.

" You tell him, he always listens to him." Lily said, pushing his brother Aiden towards their father who was seated on his office chair going through some files.The two had asked their driver to purposely drive them to their father's company because they had something to discuss with him." Why should I be the one to talk to him? You are the elder sister." Aiden complained. He could not understand why his sister was pushing him to speak to their father about the trip when she was the one who won the voucher." What's the matter?" David, who was aware of his children's presence in his office, asked." Lily has something to tell you."" Aiden wants to tell you something."The two said simultaneously, making David lift his head to look at them with raised brows." Come here," he beckoned the two who walked to his side.Pulling them each into his arms, he kissed their cheeks.His two children have been the reason he is still strong even after losing his wife.When he found Aiden left beh
Alicia and Caleb pulled away, each panting heavily. Caleb smiled at her, he didn't want to imagine that he just said yes to her proposal.Other men pride themselves when they confess to the woman they like, yet to him, he was confessed to by the woman he loved.He felt happy and special. He was not thinking of his status and wealth, for at this moment, it was her that was in his arms. He was not thinking of their background, or the people who would probably think he's after her for her wealth, it was just him and her, together, forever." Thanks everyone for being here to witness the beautiful start of our Love journey." Alicia said to the people, bowing slightly.Turning to Caleb, she pulled him impossibly close to her body, " don't you think we need some alone time together?" She whispered into his ears and watched how his face burned with embarrassment.Taking his hand, she led him to the elevator. The door to the elevator opened and together, they stepped Inside.After pressing on
Outside the elegant design shop, Caleb stood waiting with a bouquet of flowers at hand.Today, his best friend for the past five years invited him to a date.Clad in blue jeans and a white button up shirt, he was looking elegant and Charismatic.Five years had passed since he decided to face reality and be a better person for himself. Throughout the journey of discovering himself, a certain amazing woman stayed by his side. She corrected him when he went astray, encouraged him when he was on the verge of giving up and sympathised with him when things didn't go as planned.Today is the day he finally mustered his courage to ask her out only to have her beat him to the task. He was getting off the office where he worked when he received a call instructing him to pick her up at her shop so that they could have dinner together.It wasn't the first time they would be having dinner together but something about her voice told him that things might be different from tbe friendly dinners they
" Email? What email?" David asked with a frown." The madam, they have news about the madam." Jordan replied. He could not believe that they chose to use an email to contact his president.David immediately snatched the iPad in Jordans eyes before reading the email on display." My daughter, your wife is fine with me. I know your daughter needs surgery, that's why I have sent back your son to you. Hotel DAVOON , room 398. Be there, he will be waiting for you."The email was short but the contents made David's stomach churn violently." Prepare the car, we are leaving." David announced before making his way to the door." I want the sender of that email traced. I have to find my wife ." He ordered as he raced to the elevator." Sir, it's an encrypted email, I don't think we can trace it." Jordan protested." Just do it." David growled.He needed to get to the hotel ASAP and check the room, there could be a clue to lead him to his wife.Twenty minutes later, the car pulled off at the pa
David was sitting in his office when Jordan entered with a sombre expression on his face." Did you get something from her?" He asked and Jordan regretfully shook his head." We didn't find anything helpful to find Madam. She is saying crazy things. They don't make sense at all." Jordan replied.David closed his eyes, leaned on his chair and let out a tired sigh.It's been eight months and he has been looking for Sheila everywhere yet he hasn't been able to find her. It's like she vanished into thin air." Jordan, tell me , do you think my wife will come back to me?" David asked and Jordan pressed his lips together. He didn't know what to say to his president.Ever since the Madam left, he has watched his president turn into a shell of his former self.She left without saying a word. According to the president, there were no issues between the two of them. They have exhausted all means Just to find her but nothing seems to work." Everyday, I don't Know what to tell my daughter when
It was early evening when Sheila and David arrived home. David had managed to convince Sheila to not head to work since it was already dark." Why don't we do something more interesting than working?" David suggested, pulling Sheila to sit on his laps. They were now Inside their bedroom with David seated at the edge of the bed."Like what?" Sheila asked, wiggling her hips so that her bottom brushed his crotch."I don't know... anything. You name it." David replied, his lips twitched with anticipation.Sheila stared at her husband in surprise. It had been a while since they had sex, but it wasn't because they were no longer in love. It was just that they both had too much work to do and now with Sheila being pregnant, David didn't want to put much stress on her."So you're up for it?" Sheila asked, her hands instinctively moving to her stomach as it was starting to show the little bump."Well, let's see what your body says," David replied, grinning at Sheila.David reached out and unbu
" What do you think about this one?" Sheila asked, showcasing her green backless dress. The two of them were preparing to attend the launching of the new jewelry by Blake Shelton's company." Too revealing " David stated plainly, his eyes narrowing at Sheila's exposed Milky skin at the back." Too revealing? Are you kidding me? This is a backless dress and this is its design." Sheila complained." What's wrong with you? You seem to have a problem with everything I wear." This was the ninth dress and still, David had something negative to say about it." If you want me to walk naked, you might as well tell me." She complained.She was getting tired, not to mention the event was going to start in less than an hour. As one of the invited guests and Blake's junior, how could she afford to be late?But with David's actions of refusing each and every dress she tried, they were surely going to be late.Without a word, David walked to the wardrobe and retrieved a purple maternity dress. He th
