Maxwell POV "It was nice having lunch with you, I have never experienced such a beautiful day before with any other CEOs have come across before. Also, your customer care service are the best if I must say no company can beat up ti your standard like by others." She said stretching her exposed breast towards me while I immediately squeeze my face using my head to communicate with her. Just like she knew what I was saying, she immediately step forward from hiding behind my shadow which she was earlier. "It's nice meeting you Mrs Anastasia." She said shaking the hand she was bringing towards me immediately before it could reach me knowing that's what I hated the most. Touching hands with female client especially the one who has something stupid like she has in mind for me. The moment her hand reaches my personal assistant hand, she immediately withdraw her hand while I walk away from them. Been restless since the beginning of the day, I already know today can't be an
Kimberly POV As Kimberly sat alone in their sprawling mansion, she couldn't help but feel a sense of loneliness and longing. Her husband was always so busy with work, and it seemed like there was never enough time for them to just be together. She missed the way they used to spend hours talking and laughing, or simply enjoying each other's company in comfortable silence. She missed the way he would hold her close and whisper sweet nothings in her ear. But she knew that her husband's dedication to his career was one of the things that she loved most about him. She also admired his ambition and drive, and was proud of the many accomplishments he had achieved. Especially that dinner gathering they both head for the other day and the achievement he had there only if he could allow her to work and make it like he did, she thought before shaking off all the negative thought out of her head. He is cool and a nice man, he didn't want something bad to happen to you which is what he
Kimberly POV As she sat across from Maxwell at the dinner table, she couldn't help but steal glances at him. Every time he reached for his glass or took a bite of food, she found herself staring at him. She tried to be subtle, but she was sure he must have noticed her looking at him. She wondered if he had any idea of the affect he had on her. She wished she could talk to him more, but she was too nervous around him. She hoped that one day it might turn out to b real but for now she would have to content herself with stealing glances whenever she could. She tried to focus on her meal, but her thoughts kept drifting back to him. It was going to be a long dinner, she affirm to herself. As the dinner continue, she was trying to be subtle about stealing glances at him. She didn't want him to know that she had a crush on him so easily already, so she tried to be discreet. But then, all of a sudden, he caught her looking at him. She froze, her face flushing with embarrassment. She had n
Jessica POV I hope she end up cooking things that would anger Maxwell who has a particular taste of food he likes, I can't wait to have a taste of the rubbish she is cooking which she called a food. I wish to be present the moment Maxwell have a taste of the food, I want to make sure I capture every look on his face as he chew on his first bite maybe he is going to have them spat out or only squeeze his face as he struggles to have them go down his throat. But then, I am really offended at the fact that she actually told this little maid that am ban from coming close to the kitchen to cook for Maxwell till tomorrow morning, she must be really full of herself. What a proud being, I thought staring at the kitchen while waiting for all the maids to head out of this place as quick as possible. Her days are already numbered by me, I would be the one to determine how many days she would use in this house and thankful, she just gave me the break I needed to go search for those who wo
Mike POV Even after speaking to Jessica about my plan, I couldn't even find peace within me like I thought I would but then, I could atleast think of what to eat not thinking about her and how she was been favoured by him but knowing her days are been numbered by me, I will have her cry and crawl for help as she beg for her to be safe by me. I would make her part for stealing my position before my brother even those who tries to do so, I cleared them off between two day and the one who wanted to be a pain in the ass only use a week before I could get rid of her but this one, she seems so stubborn and would surely be pain compare to the others whom I have picked out of my way. Come to think of it, what did Maxwell see in her for keeping her around him for longer period than I had thought he would. I could only think of what she must have been feeding him with which the others didn't aside s@x, I thought going through my kitchen to think of what to set up for myself and fina
Jessica POV Getting to the dinning area, I got to know they have finish dinner already leaving us to finish up the dishes for her, I thought the one who made food should be the one to clear the dishes and wash it, I thought as I watch those maids clear of the dishes from the table heading off to the kitchen and I also followed monitoring their move as well as using my nose to pick every scent of her food as my stomach began to rumble gentle for food. The more my nose pick up her food, the more my stomach rumbling silently in hunger while I try as much as possible not to puck her food scent neither do I want to end up eating her food cause if I should, am agreeing with the fact that her food is better than mine or the once I have been eating which Maxwell also love, I can never do that. I thought before entering into the kitchen only to see maids line up for something I don't know yet. Heading down to where all of them are lined up looking down at the cooler full of food whic
Kimberly POV Waking earlier than I have ever woken up, I make my way into the bathroom where I brushed my teeth and sprinkled some water on my face before heading out of the bathroom but not after cleaning off my face with a hand towel which I found in the bathroom. Proceeding into the bedroom, he was still sleeping just like my prince charming still sleeping at this time of the day while I was already awake, I thought before heading out of tge room but not before placing a kiss on his forehead and cheek as well as his lips. Heading straight to the kick, I made my toast bread for both I and Maxwell pairing it with some coffee I also put some side fruit also there and also come biscuits from the both of us while I arranged it well on the tray puting in two scent candles in there before carrying them down to his room back. Although, I have not even made the coffee yet, I only put a bottle full of hot water besides it while the powder was only place inside the cup while the s
Kimberly POV Me entering the house back was a pretense to make him believe that I entered but instead, I hid behind the flowers while I await him to leave tge compound before I would step out and began to explore the compound especially that part of the garden which I have been staring down at from my window. Hearing the door close, I mean the big gate closed, I instantly stood up from where I had pretend to be picking flowers inorder for the guards not to notice that I was hiding away from him because that's when they would remember he had said for them to keep me safe inside To them they would surely believe I only try to pick out the weed which might have grown around the flower believing I have been granted the permission to step out by Maxwell since I had stepped out with him and even step behind and didn't head back while he was leaving which means I was allowed to do so. Their loss my gain, I thought as I began to explore around the compound starting from the parking l
Kimberley "Mom!Mom!Mom!" I heard the boys yell while running towards me as I set to serve the family dishes. " Oh, comon, what is it again?" I asked, getting tired of the way they ran around disturbing me today. " Dad said he would take Danielle alone to ice cream date." They said simultaneously while I groan. "Okay.. so what do you want me yo do?" I asked, giving them this boring look. " mom, we want ice cream as well. Tell dad to take us along. " they both said, holding me in the hand while I roll my eyes. Why will maxwell just decide to make it this way, I thought I was frustrated already. "Maxwell!!!!" I yelled, running towards the sitting room only to see maxwell on his knees. " Happy birthday, babe." He said, bringing out a key while I wondered what key was this. But then it sleek 2022 Black Badge Rolls-Royce Cullinan, making me jump on him while I rained kisses on his face... TBcThe end
Kimberley pov" He killed our mom? Like he is the reason why I didn't get to tell her how much dad misses her? He is the reason why she couldn't see how much I have grown? He is the reason why I didn't get to hear her voice for the very last time, even if it's just her warmth?" She asked while I let the tears flow out of my eyes as I fell into the nearest seat close you me. Wasn't even scared of hitting my head but on the bare floor or hitting my head on the wall cause the secret I didn't want to let out knowing it wouldn't seat well with my sister, who knows how many month it would take for her to get herself back together. She has had enough from the hands of these wicked men aside from her husband, who stood by her, leaving out the past. I was never going to tell it to anyone if they hadn't pressured into it till I reached my dismissal, but since it was out,they could all solve the rest.I thought while I let the silence reign, letting their minds do the battle judging
Kimberley pov "Mom, but he is dad." The twin said, staring back at me in confusion while Michael and his kids as well look away, not wanting yo act like they knew about all that happened. I purposely told them that anytime something like this arise, they should act like they know nothing about it because it my battle, not theirs, to fight for me. I really want to make maxwell suffer everything I had suffered just because of him but never want his senior brother to share part of this pain because he is ready to forget past and love on. "I meant he was dead in your mom's heart as well as in her memories because this man standing right here never wanted you to be born not to talk of be called his own. I can't even go on and on telling you how I suffered in the cruel hands of this man, the arms that were meant to be comforting. They were bot and filled with evil!" I said, trying not to break down athtge thought of all I had passed through in his hand before I met my sister.
Maxwell pov Staring down at both jc them, I was lost and short of words because I couldn't really tell if I was dreaming ofgghis is actually my reality cause with the one in my arms, it felt very real. I am the one who prepared my tea myself this morning, I bought the pack yesterday myself at the supermarket, so it's not possible to be dreaming or creating this in my head. I thought only to feel the pull on my trousers again, making me take my glance back at the little kid pulling on my trousers leg to gain my attention. " Put my brother down. He didn't do anything wrong." He said again, almost at the blink of tears making my heart ache a little, but then, I quickly composed myself before I got controlled by their emotions. " Fine, I will, but on one condition, you will tell me what you came here for and who you came here with." I said suddenly interested in these two cuties, which I couldn't stop touching over and over. I even went ahead to pat their head continuously
Maxwell pov Waking up from my smorgasbord little sleep, I took a quick look at my bedside alarm, which reminded me ofbtgebtime before starting at my bedside with a sadden face. Not even a woman to wake me up with all kisses and smile or someone to bring breakfast in bed after kimberley has left,I thought with a little tear dropping from my eye before blinking them off. I shouldn't be doing this. It's a brand new day. Remember, you have an important meeting to host. My inner mind reminded me before kicking out the thought of me staying back in bed thinking as usual. Doing a quick prayer, I made my way down to my bathroom before doing the usual while I headed downstairs aiming to make tea and some toast bread for breakfast, at least. Walking down the lonely stairs, I could hear my breathing, and my heart beat loud and clear in the empty house. Every where looks boring and less lively. After everything that had happened, I made sure to chase out everyone, leaving
Kimberley pov Seating backwards while I watched my kids move around playing with their cousin, I couldn't help but chuckle. They all look so happy together, smiling warmly. I wish I can enjoy this moment as well when I was little with my sister. Lost in the scene in front of me, I didn't realise the couple who went to make ouf are approaching laughing wholeheartedly. That immiss, my sister smiling. I guess the few days we have just used here, she has made her life full of Michael, who is also all over her likeza pest. I can't say I have her around me for five hours without Michael stealing her away from me for hours. " The kids are great together. This should have been like this since a long time ago. They look great as an extended family. " Michael said, making me jolt from my long no blinking stare while my sister handed me a chill champagne. With my mouth forming a quiet, mouthful thanks while I took a slip from it, savouring the different flavours in it while
Kimberley pov After a long ride,we finally reached the home he had prepared for us. My kids were already awake, and they have been all around giggling about our relocation. While I unbox everything I brought from Nigeria putting them where they belong to. I did this for longer hours than I expected because my boss wouldn't stop coming to disturb me about one or two, which they just learnt about while I groan internally most of the time while throwing them fake smile as well as engaging in one or two conversations because of them. Finally, I ran a quick yet body calming shower after a long period of arranging before heading downstairs where they were seated waiting for me. " This building is nice, i must say." J commented while he nodded the same as my sis who giggled beside him, but then, none of the kids were present, which made me wonder where they were. " they are over there trying to look into the toy box I gifted them." He said while I used my eyes in search of t
Kimberley pov Today is the day I would be heading back home, where I originate from. It has been three years and months, and I wonder how my kids would feel once they get there. What if the cold will be too much for them? What if they end up shck on getting there? They were born and brought up in Nigeria for three good years and some month. Is this the right decision to make this time around?Different thoughts have been running through my head, but what can I do? I have to sacrifice one thing for my sis happiness as well since she did for me. This is what I signed up for the moment I agreed to the contract. Although I have mo thought of agreeing to it, she wouldn't let me sleep a wink without reminding me. I lost count of times she do remind me daily about the before I decided to leave today. Although she would have loved for me to leave three days ago but I had to make sure there's nothing left for me and my children here. " Mom, are you done cause Damien is already
Kimberley pov " You have enough on your table already, Your children need you, but you left them for me. I shouldn't bother you with my issue as well. You should stop worrying about me. I would be fine. You should be with your family because they needed you the most, not me, who dragged you into this messy life now mine." I said, still in her arms crying while she patted my back. " You were there for them when I was away. You were the one who taught them most things a mother would while I was away. You covered the space I left open in their heart So why shouldn't I be here for you? Mom left both of us to be our brother's keeper, not the other way round. " she said, rubbing my back while I nodded still in her arms. " it's not your responsibility to do most of it, if I had not met him, I bet my children would have a father we can all ho out together not me trying to hide that fact of running away from their father. I wonder how the kids at school would treat my kids i
