One more kiss, Mr. CEO Sharon Myles...
Chapter 63Morning came very quickly, it seemed I didn't get any sleep at all. When I woke up everything seemed foggy until yesterday's event played in my mind again. I checked the bed and Kathy wasn't there. It took a while before I could get her to sleep and she was up early again. I knew her well and if anything, she feels things a little too deeply. I knew that the squabble between the three of them was going to crush her because she ended up hurting both of them. I had an interview so early, so I freshened up. I dressed a little casually because I had a feeling it was going to be a quick one. I came downstairs to make coffee and eggs toast, I saw Kathy holding a mug in her hands. She was alone, staring into blank space. I sat down close to her. "You don't have to think about it too much. Everything will play out just according to its will."She stared at me with sad eyes. "It is already acting out according to its will. I lost the one I love and hurt the one that I care for.

Chapter 64The last few days were still foggy but I remembered Elliot took me back home after the charity event. Seeing Sharon Myles reminded me of the interview that was sabotaged because of her silly questions and her hatred for me. I had to keep my cool although Elliot thought I was just trying not to get pissed because of the time she came to the restaurant. I didn't tell him about the interviews because he would have interfered and I didn't want that. He knew something was wrong but he didn't stress it out on me which I appreciated. It was a reminder from the previous night that woke me up, going ahead to do my regular morning routine. I had to promise myself not to skip work anymore because my paycheck at the end of the month would be minced to crumbs None of the interviews proved to be successful and although I feigned nonchalance, it actually did hurt a bit. A lot. Maybe the reason I haven't been successful in that way is that it wasn't what I was meant to do. I stopped dr

Chapter 65I woke up with body cramps. I was not the only one on the couch twisting our bodies in different positions. It was obvious that we slept by binging and watching lots of movies. It was an unhealthy thing to do, we knew and our bodies were suffering from it.Bowls of popcorn were scattered everywhere on the couch, I groaned as I staggered to my feet. It was a long day ahead of us and I believed that Kathy also had that too. I woke her up. "Come on! I want to sleep some more." I slapped her on her thighs until she jolted up with speed. She glared at me, itching her eyes to clear her vision. We both went upstairs and entered the shower when it was our turn to freshen up for the day. Kathy was done first and she went downstairs, I heard the sound of the coffee maker as I came downstairs. She made coffee for herself, I wasn't in the mood to get my own coffee so I had bread instead. We finally finished our breakfast, Kathy and I walked down to the bus station before we parte
One more kiss, Mr. CEO You should tell him...
Chapter 66That was the only thing in my head as I tried to make breakfast. I knew that I wasn't the best at cooking but I thought of Elliot and I knew that I would want to make him a meal one day. I tried my hands with some toast and eggs, but I hardly had any success. Also, I planned to do a full-course meal later in the evening. As much as I wanted to get past it, the picture of them together filled my mind. Seeing them together meant only one thing, they made up. Things were fine between them but I was scared of Kathy rushing things. Amongst barging into them making up, I really wanted them to be sure that they were doing the right things.The most important thing was everyone was getting the life they wanted, being with who they wanted, people that tickled their fancy. I was trying to make pancakes this time, but I burnt half of them. I was trying to imitate those perfect brown pancakes that looked fluffy and easy to chew because of how much they were prepared with finesse and a
One more kiss, Mr. CEO Bye...
Chapter 67I had contemplated this for a very long time, ever since I had gone to the agency and started my new job. There was no way I could do it without feeling nostalgic, I thought about giving it time but time would only make it worse. It is better to act on a feeling, especially when you have decided on your next few steps. It was better to act on it than allow it to linger for a while, without taking any course of action. I got to the restaurant with my resignation letter in my hands. I held on to it tightly as I stood in front of the building. I saw through the glass as the open sign dangled on the doorknob, I remembered all of the memories this place held for me. This was the place that Elliot thought it wise to start seeing me because, at some point, he couldn't come to my house. I made great friends here, it was this job that paid most of the bills. It gave me a sense of independence, the experience I had at the restaurant was next to none. There was nothing that could co
One more kiss, Mr. CEO A full house...
Chapter 68My days were getting busier. I didn't know how long I would be able to hold on. I mostly come home with back pains and sore feet, sometimes a hissing pain in my knees. Then I signed up for this, modeling. The stress and the must training were all worth it. As I began my day, I took my phone and texted Elliot if he was down for dinner because I had a lot of things to discuss with him. I finally wanted to talk to him about my job and everything in between. I was hoping for the worst, I paused as I typed the message. Then, I didn't think about it too much. I just clicked the send button. He replied almost immediately.I smiled, shuffling my phone in my coat as I focused back on the class we were taking. I tried to shake the heaviness that was lying on my shoulders, I thought about the several ways that he would snap. Elliot was not the type to have a temper but when something was accumulating for so long, he'd snap. That's how well I knew him. So, I began to think of his reac
One more kiss, Mr. CEO Drew is fond of you...
Chapter 69At first, we were filled with silence because I resisted the urge to ask the obvious question. We had little talks but Elliot could tell that I had a lot on my mind. I turned to Kathy. "Did you know about this?"She was puzzled. "About what?" I blinked my eyes at Drew. She shrugged. Drew on the other hand was busy enjoying his meal and pretending he wasn't part of the conversation. Elliot chipped in. "I don't think she was aware. I just needed Drew to accompany me." I nodded. Drew broke the silence. "This meal is so nice, babe. " he smiled at Kathy. "I know you prepared this, you've always had good hands."Kathy was trying to stop him but I was too late. My blood was filled with rage. Elliot swallowed a burst of laughter. "I…I didn't prepare the…meal." Kathy stuttered. Drew was confused, I didn't know why he thought he was invited. Kathy pointed at me. "Oh, I'm so sorry Zora. I didn't mean that you do not know how to cook. I just….thought….""Chill, man. You just acc

Chapter 70We were pretty confused about what to get for lunch. Later we finally decided to get a healthy lunch, with salad as the side dish. Jason was not much of a talker but he gave healthy tips on how to be better since everyone was all about competition. Myra and I were pretty focused on our food when he asked us. "Do you hit the gym from time to time?" Myra and I stared at each other for a while unsure of what to say. "Nope." Myra shook her head. He wasn't impressed. "That's not good, you have to go to the gym at least three times a week. You guys could also have a dumbbell at home so you can have private workouts. It would help you guys in the long run." We both nodded. It was cool that someone was finally putting us through, we didn't seem all that lost. I kept thinking about where I was going to get a dumbbell because that was something I really wanted to try.After lunch, Myea and Jadon reminded me of the party. Going through the tasks of the day, I totally forgot about t

EpilogueZora lost track of the fluorescent white bulbs that skipped past her as she lay on the stroller moving at a high speed. She had hoped that keeping count of them would be able to distract her from the pain that throbbed through her entire system. Her eyes were half shut and her throat hurt from screaming so much.She looked around her and studied the crowd of nurses that had gathered around her all pushing the stroller through the hallway of the hospital. She was pregnant, yes, but she knew she wasn’t that heavy so she couldn’t understand why there were so many people blocking her air.She inhaled loudly in a desperate attempt to take in all of the lavender and disinfectant-filled air into her lungs before letting it all out with a loud scream as a new surge of pain rippled through her. She wondered why it was taking them so long to get to the theatre.She reached for Kathy's palm which sat beside her pushing the stroller as well and she squeezed it tightly as the pain continu

Chapter 128.Aaron rolled my suitcase through the airport lounge as we went to check in, the queue wasn’t long so I was able to finish quickly and I dropped off my baggage and collected my boarding pass then he waited for me while we ran through passport control and security clearance and then I returned and we all headed to the waiting area.My flight announcement was called soon after and we all got up from our seats. “That’s our cue,” I said as I turned to Aaron and I could see he was biting back his pain. “Um, so take care you guys and be safe, oh and eat a lot of good food too…” he trailed off and pulled me into a tight hug immediately, I hugged him back and squeezed him gently.“Hey, it’s not even that long you don’t have to be a crybaby,” I teased. “I’m not crying,” he said, his voice cracking. We pulled out from the hug and then he hugged Kathy next.“What! That doesn’t make any sense,” my words flashed through my mind as I watched them. Kathy was already on the airline's we

Chapter 127.I could barely keep my legs straight as I looked at him and I was scared my knees would give in and I'd fall to the ground. I had gone to the wedding with all confidence hoping to say my mind with a straight face and walk out with explosions behind me like I was in some Tom Cruise movie.But as soon as I walked into that room I felt as though my backbone had split and I was leaning on a thin shard, if I wasn’t cautious I would crumble to the ground and it would be an absolute mess. But I knew better than that. I had already crumbled and there were no tears left to cry, but now that I had hit rock bottom I could only go up but I had to cut any strings holding me back for that to happen.And Elliott was a massive fucking chain.He was even more beautiful as he stood there in his black tuxedo and I couldn’t help the envy that crawled at the back of my neck. I would’ve given anything to be in Sharon’s place, but then again that’s not why I was there.I stood up straight as I

Chapter 126.I stood in front of the mirror with a small smile on my face as I dusted the bottom of my dress. Kathy stood propped at my door frame staring at me warily. I ignored her. I had made up my mind on what I was going to do and I was not interested in what anyone else had to say.If everyone was so bent on me moving on, then they should allow me to do it my way. “This is a crazy idea,” she blurted out, finding it hard to keep a cap on her thoughts any longer. “Kathy, we talked about this,” I said, my eyes still on the mirror.“I know we have but is there seriously no way to talk you out of this? I mean, everything about this is wrong,” she waived. I turned to her and rolled my eyes. “You promised you would respect my decision no matter what it was, saying it's wrong isn’t very respectful don’t you think,” I hissed. “Besides, I kept to my side of the deal. I’m going on the vacation aren’t I?” I added and she heaved a sigh as she rubbed her temples.She was worried and I unde

Chapter 125.I sat on the couch breathing in the coffee-filled air into my nostrils as I held the cup of freshly brewed coffee to my face. There was a calming effect coffee always seemed to have on me and I hated that I couldn’t drink it all the time. It wasn’t like there were any healthier alternatives.It was either that or alcohol.Aaron walked into the sitting room and sat beside me as I finally brought the mood to my lips and slurped loudly. I hummed inwardly as the bitter-sweet taste massaged my taste buds and the warmth reverberated through the walls of my mouth before sliding down my throat. I let out a satisfied breath as I closed my eyes. “Hey sis, can we talk?”Can’t I just have my damn coffee in peace?The past couple of days had been filled with countless pieces of advice and lectures, mostly on my little brother’s part. I knew he cared about me but I couldn’t understand why he was hell-bent on letting Elliott know about the baby and why he refused to understand why I jus

Chapter 124.I rounded up my chores for the day, dusting off surfaces and spraying air fresheners in the different rooms. I was just about to retire to my room and take a rest before heading for the shower when I heard a light tapping on my door. I froze for a moment as I wondered who it could be. Kathy and I hadn’t been getting visitors for a while so I wondered if it was a friend of Aarons.My chest began to beat harder as another possibility crossed my mind. Maybe Elliott had gotten tired of waiting for me to text back and had come to me himself. If that was the case then I was screwed. I wasn’t sure I would be able to successfully keep the truth about me having a baby from him if we got into a heated argument.I shrugged it off immediately, there was still tension in the media, and his marriage to Sharon was still being talked about everywhere. Elliott was a smart man, he wouldn’t risk coming to my place at such a time.Well, there was only one way to find out who was at the door.

Chapter 123.At this point in my life, I wasn’t sure I could handle another shocking news.It felt as though I was in a tragic slice-of-life drama and I was the main character. There was absolutely no other explanation as to why amid everything that was going on I stood at the hospital with results from a pregnancy test in my hands.And it read positive.I had gone to the hospital to get a prescription for nausea or fever at most but instead. I found out that there had been a living thing in me for two whole months. My mind flashed back to moments when I had felt dizziness and fatigue but I thought they were from work-related stress or at most the effect of mourning my father in an unhealthy manner for so long.Meanwhile, I was pregnant. I couldn’t even understand my emotions anymore as I stood frozen on a spot while the doctor explained the result with a wide smile on his face. Ordinarily, I would have been happy, no, I still should have been happy no matter the circumstance but the

Chapter 122.Time travel doesn’t exist. That statement felt like a hoax the following days after I met with Elliott. I felt as though I had been plunged right back into the past. A past I had struggled to crawl out from only a few months before, a past that left me devastated and locked up in my room was now replaying in the present.Only this time, there were no flowers or midnight texts, this time I was truly alone. I couldn’t see a future for myself anymore, part of me knew that there was still one for me but how on earth was I supposed to get there after all I’d been through?I’m only human and there’s only so much I could take so why on the earth was the world so unfair to me? Why was I being saddled with more weight than I could lift? What on earth had I ever done to be treated like this? Was it so wrong to fall in love?I missed the old me, strong, independent, self-willed, and determined, and whenever I thought about it I realized that the greatest mistake I had ever made was
