Sheila felt defeated. How was it possible for a weak lady to take advantage of a strong man like him?Why did it sound like he was making things difficult for her?" How do I take responsibility?" Sheila asked, hoping to get a less absurd answer." Of Course you should become my girlfriend. You have already seen and touched everything, no other woman will accept me." David stated making Sheila almost faint from disbelief.What was he saying?She didn't see or touch anything. The fact that she couldn't remember cancelled everything.Besides, how could he say no other woman would want him?It's not like there's any evidence left behind to prove that she touched or saw anything." Nobody will know." Sheila argued." This is a matter of my dignity, not whether others will know or not. You don't want to take responsibility after you..." " Okay fine, I agree." Sheila cut him off again before he could list the things she didn't want to hear.He was hell-bent on making her uncomfortable.Th
After dressing up, Sheila made her way downstairs. Lily and David were already seated, waiting for her." Good morning baby?" Sheila greeted Lily and ignored David who was busy wracking his eyes all over her body.His intense gaze on her felt like he was undressing her making her uncomfortable." Good morning beautiful sister." Lily greeted enthusiastically.Her father just announced to her that be will be going on a business trip that may last for days. Lily was happy that she will get to dominate her beautiful sister for the days her daddy will be away.After settling down, the three had breakfast peacefully." I will be meeting one of my friends today." Sheila announced. She wasn't seeking permission from David, just Informing him since she thought it was the best thing to do.David stilled for a moment and the grip on his coffee cup tightened." A female or a make friend?" He questioned." A male friend. He Just came back from abroad." Sheila replied, offering more details than a
Sheila and Lily made their way to the agreed Cafe. When they entered the Cafe, Sheila easily spotted Fred. Although many years had passed after he left for abroad,the person before her had changed abit, maybe he changed physically but he was still the same.He had his usual smile plastered on his face making his dimples appear.Fred was ever the gentle and caring guy in Sheila's eyes, it's no wonder she was fond of him, mistaking it as a crush.Fred was waving at Sheila, Indicating that he had spotted them.He was sitting on their usual table near the door. That was the same table they used to sit some years back.Holding Lily's hand, Sheila made her way to Fred who was already on his toes, ready to give Sheila a hug.Sheila was about to hug him back when a childish voice stopped her, " Only lovers share hugs, beautiful sister, is he your boyfriend?" Lily asked, cocking her brow at Sheila.Sheila felt awkward being questioned by the little girl but thinking about Lily's words, they ma
" Oh well it's good that you didn't. She travelled to country B and doesn't know when she will be back." She tried changing the topic, hoping to stray the topic of discussion from her.Having a boyfriend, she didn't like the Idea of talking about such Intimate topics with her childhood friend.It would sound awkward to both of them.The two girls finally left the cafe with Fred offering to drive them which Sheila declined.All the time while pretending to play with her iPad, Lily had recorded all the conversation and sent it to her father.She knew about her father's worry from earlier knowing that her beautiful sister will meet a male friend.To ease her father's worries, she decided to tag along, something that gave the man a little comfort.With the recording proving that her beautiful sister wasn't planning on abandoning them, she hoped that her father would be at ease.One would think that she wasn't fond of him with how much she was always against him, but the relationship betwe
Saturday morning came. The date was set at around noon.Sheila tried gathering her courage to tell David about the date with Fred but she couldn't.He had been gone for almost a week and not for a single day did he give her a call.He would call and talk to Lily from time to time but he never asked anything about her.His behaviour pissed her off but being new to relationships, she ignored it.Maybe he's busy or in a meeting. She tried convincing herself.Dressing up for the day, she walked down stairs and found Lily already waiting for her.She had earlier Informed Lily that she would be out but can't bring her along.Lily being the little obedient devil she readily agreed.Although worried, she decided to trust her beautiful sister. She was almost sure that her beautiful sister would never choose that boy over her father.Ofcourse Lily decided to keep that information from her father. She had been having the days of her life with her beautiful sister without her father disturbing th
Sheila could tell that the guy was in a good mood, making her wonder why so.He was all smiles as he whistled down the Streets and through the outskirts of the city.Fred would occasionally steal some glances at her making sheila feel a little bit unconscious.After driving for more than thirty minutes and leaving the city far away behind them, Sheila decided to ask exactly where he was taking her.With his mysteriousness, of course he didn't give her a definite answer, Fred just grinned at her, exposing his pearly whites." We are almost there." Fred announced before Sheila saw a wooden gate ahead of them.Taking a closer look, the gate was snaked with vine like flowers giving it an ethereal beauty.Sheila admired the place as they made their way through the gate and along the pathway.After a minute of driving, Sheila was greeted with the most magnificent sight.Before her was the house of her dreams.It was nothing fancy, just what she always envisioned in her mind.A wooden cabin,
Back at country A international airport. David had just landed and switched on his phone.He was expecting to find at least single message from Sheila but he got none.He had been away for almost a week and that little woman never dared to call him or atleast send him a message inquiring about his well being.He misses her everyday. He would often dream about cuddling with her at night anytime he remembered how warm her chest felt that particular night.He had been dying to head back home and accompany her, of course he would punish her for not at least texting him. Opening the tracking app, he tapped it on her phone only to have it blinking some kilometres away from the City. His already bad mood worsened.He was hurrying up to go home to his little woman and yet she was away doing God knows what?Call him paranoid but he had an inkling that the Cooper brat was the one accompanying his little wife.Although he was away for the past one week,he had kept tabs on everything happening in
" I am sorry Fred but I have to say no to your proposal." Sheila uttered.As painful as those words were, she had to tell them to him." There's no chance for us to be together." She added as she watched the myriad of emotions flashing through his eyes.How she wished things were different but that's the reality.Between them, nothing could ever be possible except for their friendship.David who had been standing outside the house smiled hearing her words.He had been feeling anxious on his way here.For some reason, he had been feeling that something was to be taken from him.He had been walking on needles on his way here.When the proposal was being made, he was actually just about to barge in but he decided to hold back and listen to what she would say.Of Course that doesn't mean he would let her go even if she accepted Fred's proposal.He wanted her and he would get her. She would be the mother to his children and he wouldn't let her.Whether she wanted it or not, he would tie he
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
" 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
" 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
