It's a beautiful Friday night, and my wristwatch is ticking quarter past eight. I discharge a yawn, stretching my exhausted muscles a bit before plopping my head on the computer again.

It's been a whole week of nothing but pure glee and contentment. Every minute that I have spent behind this desk or in my field of work is so fulfilling, because I now do what I love. I feel so new. The place is placid and gracious, and except for some two gross bitches whose beef with me I'm yet to unearth, everyone else is just candy. All the same, you can't be loved by all, right?

Competency and belligerence are key here in this office. Everyone knows what precisely they are here for and hence, I don't have to haul any lazy arse around. I must commend Davon for that, and well, you know who else - my boss.

Thinking about him makes my blood boil already- with longing, of course. Don't get me wrong, we haven't been naughty in any way. There was just so much I had to do to harmonize and acquaint mysel

    Getting to the door of his office, we find the poor delivery guy standing at the door. The box of Domino's Pizza is lounged in his hands, and he is pressing on the doorbell furiously, perhaps emphasising his impatience. That's undoubtedly a virtue be does not seem to posses at all, making him an impatient moron."Hey, man! You might break the poor bell." Damian speaks as he helps me down to my feet, pulling me to him as soon as my feet graze the ground.Fuck this delivery idiot! He just had the worst timing. Imao! I take my time to hitch my dress that had ridden up remarkably high. Part of my butt was even exposed. My!"Hey!" I hear Damian exclaim as I finish up fixing myself and jerk my face up, cuddling to him as he shrouds my waist, his hand nuzzling my belly.I shoot my gaze at this delivery guy. Aside from being an idiot and a bad timer, he is also deaf and damp? Why the fuck is he not talking? By the ankle of his craned neck, one can clearly see that his eyes are fixed on me thro

  • Now I Do- Marrying My Fiance   MORNING GLORY.

    A month later!The sound of an alarm has never hissed this confectionery. Maybe because it's not just an alert that it's time to get my arse ready for work, but that it's another time to see my hot boyfriend. That thought of him alone makes me spring from bed with ecstasy and a beautiful grin on my face. Love has reduced me into a sweet sixteen, I say! I get into the bathroom and do my business in a haste, the portrayal of Damian hurling the degree of my speed. I can't believe that I'm actually dissembling a teenager like this because of a man, glowing with redness even at the sheer notion of him. But who cares? It's not a crime! I'm in love, with none other but the most gorgeous man that this world has ever elicited. I feel on top of this world, and especially because nothing has bothered me this one month. My father has perhaps forgotten he had a daughter. No problem at all, if it means we both are at peace. My shop is doing exemplary amazing, with Grace being the best partner and

    I fathomed I would wither into a slumber fast with this lullaby charm beside...huh? He is not here! No wonder I woke up. My senses might have speculated his dearth. I roll to the other side of the bed, and the desolate expanse smirks at me. I acquit a long yawn, smoothing the eye logs from my eyes with my right hand. His clothes are not dispersed on the floor where they were either. Did he leave already? Before I imprint my feet to the floor, something hooks my sight from under the pillow. A note! You are so beautiful when you are sleep. I dream of waking up with you by my side soon. I love you❤ XXMy heart pounds with ecstasy, and I joyously spring from the bed to go clean myself up, but before that, I decide to catch just a brisk glance at the grin on my face in my dressing mirror. Well, I look just as I anticipated - glittering like the morning star, but damn these ridiculous eye bags. I would be gleaming much more if it weren't for them. I try to scour them with my

    It's such an inexplicable joy to see things working so gaily and smoothly. I didn't know working for Damian in this motel would be this smooth, fun, and fulfilling as it is now. My team is doing pretty incredible according to the report I'm reading, and I can't explain the glee. I must concede that I was skeptical at the beginning, but now, I'm impressed by my achievement, and my team. And I am grateful to Damian for putting his trust in me. This is joy. This is life.My phone buzz and I grab it, as usual, sparkling with enthusiasm after seeing the name on the screen."Hello, handsome!" I greet, heaving my head up from the computer."Hi, love!" Damian's cool voice comes from the other end. "Are you busy?" He adds."Not quite. Why? What's up? Do you need me to do something, boss?" I implore.He chuckles. I can hear him. He always does whenever I tease him with this boss title. And I love doing it."Relax, baby. I just wanted to say, congratulations. You are doing a commendable job. Kee

    "I should have killed that bastard!" Damian murmurs between gritted teeth after seeing my sore wrist. "I'm fine, Damian." I mumble."No, you are not. I will kill that worthless moron if he dares come near you again." He asserts, and at that, I have nothing to say.I have seen how he is losing his temper because of that jerk. I can't censure him, but I don't want him turning into a murderer either. I should do something about that dickhead Leo. He appears so frantic to fix his pathetic life and I don't know what my father has promised him. Whatever it is, they won't succeed because I will make sure he doesn't get near me or Damian again. "Come. Let me check your wrist in my office." He wraps his arm protectively around my waist as we amble past the countless eyes gawking at us in perplexity. I bet they were murmuring to each other about us, but upon seeing their boss's face, they seal their mouths, hunch their heads down, and hold their breaths as they pave way for us. Damian does n

    Curse that bitch a million times! She left my blood boiling and I can't seem to calm down. To hell with her and every other bitch that Damian has screwed before. Fuck her and all the whores eying him. I will gouge their eyes out before they can sketch their way to him. Where on earth did he go? It's past four and I am freaking out here with distress for hell's sake! Does he know that? Didn't say he would return before 4? Curse this fucking anxiety!Beeb! Beeb!You should see the commotion and the velocity of my hands as each reaches for my buzzing phone from the table. Gosh! I might suffer an anxiety attack if I don't get a grip of myself.Caller check. frown! Eyes roll! Bitter sigh!Really? I thought it was him calling to elucidate why the fuck he is taking eternity to return. Just where fuck is he?"Yes, Grace?""Woohoo! Someone is in a terrible mood. What happened?

  • Now I Do- Marrying My Fiance   THE TRIP

    We are steering through the outskirts of Nairobi's central business centre at 9:30 at night, to I don't know where. This Greek god is being cranky about killing me with anxiety because he is not telling me where we are going. I understand the phrase 'surprise', but still, it won't hurt to give me even just a clue, dah!More than four hours of chronic driving is more than enough to drive me nuts. My butt is beginning to sting. It always gets irritated by sitting in a car for too long. My spine too. Damn!I don't know how many miles we still have to cover, so I decide to stroke my trepidations by taking my eyes around for a fleeting excursion of the illuminated beautiful city. The glowing red and orange street lamps are glittering it just admirably. Its beauty is eye-catching as always.Peering through it as we steer through, I don't discern any much transformation except for the almost now completed turnpike coming from the International Airport, all the way to the city's metropolitan

    White-themed room?! Well, last I checked, we were still steering past the metropolitans of Nairobi. Shit! I knew I would fall asleep in a flush from his warmth. Damn me!Curse that sleeps! Who falls asleep in the middle of a surprise trip? Well, only stupid me, of course! Forget the time we got here because I have no clue at all, but what in God's name is this awfully cold place? Jeez, I'm shivering even in the warmth of this duvet. I lunge my languid self from the solace of this plush mattress in this exotic house, feeling the emptiness beside me with my hand. He woke up already?Poor guy! He had quite an arduous time dealing with my sleeping lazy self. As if sleeping on him the way I did wasn't enough, I had to give him the additional hardship of carrying me inside here. Well, I guess I have to crinkle this shivering aside and go find him and stop being a sleeping baby.I lazily peel the duvet off me and squirm at the cold paralyzing me before dragging my feet on the floor."Shit!"

  • Now I Do- Marrying My Fiance   SECOND BETROTHAL - MARRYING THE BETROTHED

    ONE MONTH LATERI park at the parking lot of the jail. I know this seems crazy and you are wondering, what is a bride who is supposed to be getting all dolled up for her wedding ceremony doing in a prison? Well, to settle my peace, and show my enemies that they miserably failed. Great times!"Attorney, I'll go alone. Take care of the necessary and be quick." I state, and she nods her head.I dash inside, clutching the magazine in my hand, hoping to finish as soon as I can. Nobody knows I sneaked out just to come here, and I wouldn't want to visualize their faces if they woke up to a missing bride. I can't worry about them."She will be with you in a minute, Mrs Almenda." The prison Warden says, and I nod my head.I am Mrs Almenda to everyone in the city now. Our story, just like I presumed, has reached almost everyone in the whole nation, and we have even earned an emblem of "THE FATED BETHROTHEDS" from the citizens. Our story has outdone that of Romeo and Juliet, and now we are the t

    ONE WEEK LATERI stand in the mirror. Outfit, check! Make-up, check! The hair is perfect! Everything is o.k.a.y!"I could be your mirror, you know." I look at Damian's reflection in the mirror, his face all smiles, beaming and dazzling like always in his custom-made blue suit that is matching with my blue-fitting gown.Two royalties! We are indeed royals!"Mmh. Do I look good?" I ask."You are gorgeous and elegant. I am afraid all the men in the event will fall in love with you." "Really now? I think I am the one who should be weary of women in the event." I respond, caressing his jaw."This guy before you, has eyes for only one woman - Ellie Marrie Riccaford, my betrothed, the love of my life. I wouldn't trade you for anything in the world." He says, melting my heart with his words."And this beauty before you, has her eyes only on one angel, Damian Almenda Riccaforte - my betrothed, the love of my life. It's either you, or no one else. I love you, baby." I whisper."I love you more

  • Now I Do- Marrying My Fiance   AWAKE

    "God, please wake this man up already." I hum as I jerk my head from Damian's shoulder.I spent the second night yet in here and still, he is in this distressing deep slumber. Honestly, I am getting furious at him. Why doesn't he want to wake up? Doesn't he know how much it's stinging me to see him like this?"Wake up already, love, will you? I miss you. This world doesn't seem a good place for me without you by my side. Please, wake up." I whisper, pecking his lips.I turn away from him, scouring for some wipes from my purse and wiping off the eye logs. Before I turn back to him, a call from my lawyer distracts me."Hello, attorney." I greet, taking a few strides away from the bed."Hello, Ellie! How are you?" He greets back."I... Am fine, attorney." I respond."I just called to let you know that I reviewed the case that you assigned to me and I think we have got several contending grounds." That makes my heart thump with joy."So does that mean..." "Let's not get ahead of oursel

    "Ellie! Maybe you want to at least get some fresh air outside even for a minute?" Rose says as they stand across me on the other side of Damian's bed.Breathe some fresh air? What good will that do to my despondent soul? It's been more than twelve hours since we came to this hospital and Damian hasn't woken up yet. If I am still able to breathe it's because I am doing it for both of us. The bullet in his belly hit him really bad. Fortunately, no vital organs were damaged. But he lost lots of blood, that's why he is undergoing a transfusion right now. How can I crave for a fresh breath of air when he is like this?"I am okay, Rose. I don't have the energy to leave his side until he wakes up." I say, nuzzling his hand."But, Bestie, can we at least get you something? You need to at least eat something, please." Sherry pleads."Until he is up and able to eat, I am full." I respond."Come on, Ellie! You know Damian wouldn't want that." Rose says."I want him to tell me that himself. I wan

    "Where it all started with my mother? What do you mean by that?" I query."This is where I tortured her to my pleasure, and I enjoyed all her howls of anguish and appeals for mercy which I, unfortunately, didn't have! The baseball? Doesn't it remind you of something?" She says with so much elation.Curse you, sick witch! You will pay dearly for that! For everything, and that too, today itself, in this very same house!"I already knew you were behind her mysterious tragedy. But why here?" I ask."There wouldn't have been a satisfactory place for her sufferings other than this - this home, and this exact room that was deemed to be my bedroom with Richard. I bought this house some years back as our supposed rest house with my one great love - your stupid father. But that never got to come true because your mother had invaded his heart. He never saw me as a woman no matter how many times I tried. No matter how low I stoop for him, he just had no fucking chance for me. I was invisible to h

    Forty-five minutes later.I reach to this seemingly three-storey house located in a secluded area in the outskirt part of Nairobi. It's a gated area, and it's surrounded by a jungle. No neighbouring houses, not even one. It looks a bit old from afar, but not that old to be termed abandoned. This doesn't look like a house to live through. Maybe it has its purpose.It's the time!I dial Damian's number."Ellie?" He picks on the first ring."I can see it. I am going in now." I say through the microchip.This was his idea. I also have a gun perfectly hidden on my back, and the back is just around. They needed to keep their distance to avoid any risks. We can't afford to screw this up. "Before anything, love, your safety comes first. You remember our deal?" Damian speaks."Yes, love. Don't you worry. I got this." I respond."Okay. How is the scene? Anything you can see? Security?" "No. I can't see anyone and that's so weird. Anyway. I will update you once I get inside.""Okay. Be careful

    It's seven at night, and I have never been this enthusiastically nervous. The inkling of being free from all these dilemmas is giving me goosebumps."Are you really sure we can trust that woman?" Damian asks as he pulls on his hoodie."We can. For some reasons, she was so different today. I don't know what striked her overnight. She looks kinda victimized, and afraid of her mother." I state."If Gracia is capable of all those things, then I doubt even her own daughter is safe around her." Damian responds."It's hard to believe that monsters like Gracia are living amongst us. We dined and whined with her for years. I knew she was capable of a lot of things, but I never thought it would be this much and horrible." I state."Don't worry, love. Tomorrow will be the end of her road, and a new dawn for us. You'll finally be able to live in peace." "I can't wait for that moment I will look her in the eye and tell her that I already know about all her crimes and make her pay for everything."

    We get into the car and lock the doors, the curiosity to know about this misery that has been surrounding my family for ages threatening to kill me, and the desire to end it itching me."So what happened? Did papa accept your mother when mom went out of the picture?" I ask."It was worse. Riccaford loathed my mother with so much passion, and even forbade her to even show her face to him."Huh? "Then?""My mother never gave up. So, on this particular day during their last day at a college party, she drugged your father."OMG! So, they had sex? And Nelly? Nelly was the fruit of that act? So, she is..."The alcohol and the drug rendered your father a deadbeat. He blacked out the whole night. My mother had sex with another guy that same night and returned to your father's room, and he made him believe that they had intercourse. I was the fruit of that night "Deep sigh! I feel a bit relieved."So, you are the reason why my father had been sending money to your mother's bank account over

    "So, miss Riccaford, why do you want to buy a dead company?" Omar asks as I go through the documents."Mr Omar, I believe in second chances, and in getting up every time we fall. The fact that the company sunk to the ground under your management doesn't mean that it will do the same under mine." I respond."I love your way of thinking. You sure are really a Riccaford - strong, bold, oriented, and above all, beautiful inside and out.""Thank you, Mr Omar.""However, sometimes common sense is crucial. It still baffles me why a rich tycoon like you who is capable of buying the entire Nairobi city if you want, is interested in a dead company."Ooh, I see he has some brains left."Let's just say that I have the power, and the will to help a person who is in dire need like you, Omar.
