~ TWO WEEKS LATER ~~ COSMO'S MANSION ~~ OCTAVIA'S ROOM ~Octavia rolled on her bed as she opened her eyes yawning deeply, It had been two weeks since June rejected her offer and traveled out of the country. She had been shocked when June informed her that she would be traveling out of the country, it made her realize that she didn't exactly know about June as much as she thought she did.She knew June was making plans to establish her own business because once in a while June had indirectly made mention of it but she didn't know how far June was with the plan, She not only was able to book a plane ticket, but she had already bought the building and had all her plans approved by the necessary people.Octavia knew that she couldn't stop her because her mind was already made up on what she wanted to do, she could only wish her well in all her endeavors. She followed her to the airport and made her promise to keep in contact with her as much as possible.The first few days were still be
~ ONE MONTH GONE ~~ COSMO'S MANSION ~Octavia stared at the three models before them wearing different designs of wedding gowns, It was already a month since June left and things had been going well. She had been going out more often with Gina and Clara, some days were frustrating and some days were fun, eventually, she got used to Gina and Clara's different personalities.Turns out Clara was actually from a wealthy family but her father didn't want anything to do with her mother, he had divorced her when her mother gave birth to her because she turned out to be the third girl her mother was having, her father wanted a male child and his desire for it leads him to marry another woman and send her out of the house, he still sent money to them because by law he had to but from what she heard if he had his way he wouldn't send them a dime.It was an interesting story to Octavia because Clara didn't exactly look like she was wealthy, she didn't wear expensive clothes like them and she di
Octavia opened her eyes yawning, last night had been one of the best nights of her life. It wasn't about the sex but the feeling of knowing that she was now Keir's wife and he was her husband. She turned her head as she stared at Keir sleeping peacefully beside her, It still felt like a dream to her that she wasn't his friend or secret lover but now his wife.She leaned in planting a kiss on his lips as his eyes opened slowly as her lips left his. "Good morning sleepyhead," she smiled at him kissing him yet again on the lips."I think I drank too much last night," Keir groaned sitting up and placing his hand on his forehead where he could feel a migraine forming."You don't say," Octavia recalled that she had told him to be careful of collecting drinks from Alex who was well known for mixing different drinks. "Let me ask the....""No," Keir interrupted knowing she wanted to make a call to the kitchen for them to bring water, he was heading out anyway he had something he needed to disc
~ RESTAURANT ~Octavia stared around the restaurant with a worried look, She wasn't sure if she had made the right decision by coming here alone without informing Keir about it.She had called James to inform him about it and asked that he kept it between them, James had told her not to worry as he would have his men around her but since she got here she couldn't see anyone of them.She was sure Keir would eventually find out about it because according to him he had a tracker placed in her car since Sandy's incident but that couldn't dispute the fact that anything could happen.She didn't know if this person was armed and was only toying with her because he or she wanted to cause harm to her, She was about to call the waiter to place an order for any of their wine when a lady entered the restaurant waving at her timidly.Was that the person she was expecting to see? She stared at the woman as she walked swiftly to her table sitting next to her with a faint smile on her face. It couldn
The lady held on to his manhood stroking it gently till it slowly began to rise and became erect, Alex stared at her as he leaned back on the couch enjoying the feeling he was deriving from her hand on his dick, her hands felt warm, just the right temperature."You can do better," he muttered staring at her, was she planning on just stroking him, if that was what he was paying for, then he might as well have just stroked himself off.The lady considering his words opened her mouth and leaned in to suck his dick, she placed his dick on her cold tongue licking the tip then she sucked on the tip slowly as Alex released a low moan not minding that his friends were currently looking at him in amazement.It wasn't like they had not seen each other naked before but this was the first time they were watching Alex get a blow job right in front of their eyes, apart from the time they had walked in on him during a house party fucking his maid.the lady also not paying attention to them placed hi
~ HYDRA'S MANSION ~~ DINING ROOM ~"Baby," Keir smiled as Octavia walked into the dining, Mrs. Hydra was also pleased to see her as she was about to ask Keir where Octavia was as it was already getting late, not that she wanted her to come home but just to know her whereabouts for her safety. Keir rose to his feet to hug Octavia and help her with her seat, It seemed she was famished because her usual routine after work was to go and freshen up before coming down to eat dinner, he was about to come to his arms to receive her when Octavia gave him a tight slap on the face flinging a file at him."My goodness," Mrs. Hydra gasped rising to her feet in shock, What was going on?"When were you going to tell me? Were you ever going to even tell me?" Octavia yelled, She had tried to contain her anger when she walked in, she had wanted to politely ask Keir's mother to excuse them but the sight of him smiling at her provoked her."What is going on?" Keir asked placing his hand on his cheek as
"Octavia?" June said as she opened her door, She had thought it was the pizza she had ordered so she didn't bother looking at the peephole when she was about to open the door.She couldn't believe her eyes as she stood still staring at Octavia who looked a mess, it had been two months since Mrs. Cosmo called her to inform her that Octavia was nowhere to be found and she suspected Keir had a hand in it, June had not taken it seriously because it wasn't new for Octavia to leave the house on a business trip on a vacation but she decided to call Octavia to put her mind at ease.She soon realized that Mrs. Cosmo wasn't joking when she called Octavia's number and it was a young lady that picked the call.The young lady briefly explained to her that Miss Octavia didn't want anyone to know her whereabouts and went ahead to disconnect the call without any further explanation, She ended up lying to Mrs. Cosmo after the call that Octavia was safe with her and was doing fine.Her little lie event
"Did you miss me?" Hardin smiled walking past her without waiting for her to let him in, he caught sight of Octavia as he placed his phone to his ear. "She is here," he said into the phone then disconnected it."Hardin?" Octavia nearly choked on her drink, She had been sure coming to June's house would be a safe space for her but with the sight of Hardin she wasn't sure of that anymore, the sight of him brought back the memories of what Keir had done to her into her head and the fact that Hardin was in on it angered her as a frown fell on her face."What the hell are you doing here?" June asked. She noticed there were some men in black outside while she was closing the door behind him. The fact that he was here the moment Octavia was also here meant that something was up, how the hell did he know that Octavia was here?"Trust me I didn't want to be here in the first place till my men told me it was your house," Hardin said. Keir had been on his neck regarding finding Octavia as soon
- MONTHS PASSED - - HARDIN’S MANSION - “Where are you going to?” Hardin asked, reaching out to June on the bed as he embraced her tightly from behind, planting a kiss on her ear. “Octavia is going to kill us if we don’t attend her baby shower,” June muttered. “Why does her baby shower have to be today?” Hardin groaned. After Conrad was arrested, they spent months going to the station, talking to the police, and going to the court to provide evidence and act as witnesses to make sure Conrad got locked up for good. Finally, the judge ruled in their favor and Octavia decided to put her baby shower on the one day that they needed to rest. Why? “We are not spending the whole day in her house remember,” June smiled, understanding Hardin’s frustration and his desire to spend the whole day with just her. She turned around and placed her hand on his cheeks. “We could leave early.” “Early? Once I see Keir I don’t think early is going to come to mind, those two are still in their honeym
“What are you talking about?” Hardin asked."I need to show you something," June said, grabbing Hardin's laptop from the dining table and bringing it to the living room. She inserted a flash drive into the laptop and placed it on the table. Hardin sat down next to her, already repeating what she had said again in his head, ‘I have been faking it’. His eyes widened slowly as it dawned on him what June meant, but she showed him the video already playing, interrupting his thoughts. - VIDEO RECORDING -Emma places her phone on the top shelf. She goes back and looks around to check if the camera is showing. She rushes back to sit on the office chair in the library. Soon Conrad steps in, discussing something over the phone. His eyes flare up at the sight of Emma sitting in his seat in his library. “What the hell do you think you are doing sitting in my seat?” Conrad asked, disconnecting the call and placing his phone back into his pocket. “I thought it best to come and play with my hus
An hour later, Conrad arrived at Hardin’s house, and Hardin felt anxious when he opened the door and caught sight of him.He glanced at June and noticed how she was nervous to see Conrad. He wondered what she was up to. “I’m glad to see you, June,” Conrad whispered. He walked over to June, about to give her a hug, as Hardin stopped him by raising his hand to his chest and shoving him off. “Don’t touch her,” Hardin warned. This meeting was already taking a lot from him to endure. If he touched her, he wouldn’t hesitate to take him out.“We should all sit down and talk,” June asked, like she wasn’t aware of the tension between the two men.Hardin and Conrad stare at each other for a moment, both trying to contain the resentment they held towards each other for June’s sake. They finally sit on the couch and June sits next to Conrad instead of Hardin. Her action doesn’t go unnoticed by Hardin, who eyes flare up, but he allows it. “This should be a private conversation. He shouldn’t be
Hardin was furious and bewildered by June’s desire to meet Conrad. He understood that she had lost her memory and couldn’t remember Conrad, but wasn't that enough reason for her not to want to see him?He ran his fingers through his hair as he got to his feet, pacing around, trying to process her request. “June, I don’t think this is a good idea. Look, you don’t know the kind of person Conrad is. I mean, he is not the person you think he is.” Hardin voiced out, hoping June would back down.“Allow me to see him, Hardin.” She said, with a straight face.Hardin sighed heavily. This was the last thing he wanted. “Why can’t you listen to me, June? I just told you he is not the person you think he is, and he doesn’t love you. "He's nothing but a liar," Hardin muttered through clenched teeth.“Why do you think so, Hardin? Just allow me to meet him. You don’t have to be so stiff about it.” “Stiff?”“I want to meet with him. I don't remember anything. You make it sound like I do and I am int
Hardin held June in his arms for almost five minutes until he realized she had fallen asleep and stopped crying.He lovingly tucked a strand of hair behind her ear as he kissed her forehead. "I promise to protect you from any harm," he whispered, carrying her in his arms.He got up on his feet and laid her gently on the bed, covering her with the duvet. He smiled at her. She looked so beautiful when she was asleep. He could watch her this way without being tired.His mind finally drifted to that call Maria had placed. Something must have caused June to act like this. A frown suddenly fell on his face at the thought of Maria probably doing something to trigger her. Seething with anger, he stormed into the living room, “Maria! Maria!!” He called out to her as she rushed from the kitchen into the living room, bowing her head down. “Maria, what did you do to her? I specifically instructed you not to stress her out,” Hardin bellowed, his voice filled with frustration.Maria, her eyes dow
June stumbled back, her head pounding with confusion. She couldn’t remember who this man was, and it left her feeling disoriented. “Who are you?” she asked, her voice trembling.Conrad looked hurt by her question. He took a deep breath and said, “June, it’s me, Conrad.”“Conrad?” June muttered. In the hospital, she remembered uttering that name, but couldn't piece it together. “I- I am sorry, but Conrad, from where? I don’t know you.”“You do. We’ve been dating for over a year now. How can you not remember me?” Conrad lied.“What?” June questioned. That couldn’t be possible. Hardin was her boyfriend. His mother was here just now to confirm that they were indeed dating, and she wasn’t pleased about it."I was in a car accident, which is why I couldn't reach out to you earlier," Conrad explained, stepping towards her, but June stepped back.“Please Sir, leave,” Maria finally spoke up, seeing the distraught look on her madam’s face.“Who are you?” Conrad asked, but Maria didn’t reply to
"Mrs Scott?" June said. Hardin had mentioned his mother but he barely said much about her, he told her he would explain better today but now here she was. How did she know Hardin was here?"Where is my son? I want to see him," Mrs Scott asked looking behind June to see if Hardin was there."I told you Ma, he is not here," Maria replied angrily, she had been repeating over and over again that Mister Hardin wasn't around but Mrs Scott refused to believe her. "Will you shut up?" Mrs Scott yelled at her."He is not around at the moment but if you want to wait for him you can," June said in a low voice."No Ma'am, Sir said she shouldn't come in," Maria shook her head not accepting what her madam was saying."It's fine Maria, I will handle the situation, you don't need to worry about it," June reassured her seeing the terrified look on her face, it seemed Hardin had given her strict rules to not allow anyone inside including his mother.But why his mother? Was he hiding something from her?
By nighttime, June decided to take her bath and get some rest. As she took her shower the scent of the bathing soap felt familiar in her nose as she scrubbed her body trying to remember anything but she couldn't.She emerged from the bathroom afterward, her freshly washed face glistening under the soft glow of the vanity lights. Dressed in her cozy pajamas, she climbed onto the bed, preparing herself for a good night's sleep. As she settled under the covers, the door creaked open, and there stood Hardin. He held his pajamas, ready to freshen up and join her in bed.He dropped the pajamas on the bed and went to take a quick shower when he came back he had a white towel over his waist. June stared at his body, his raven-black hair was slicked back, water droplets glistening on his chiseled chest and strong shoulders. Her choice of boyfriend wasn't so bad she smiled to herself, he was not only handsome but also sexy. A smirk danced upon his lips as he caught June admiring his post-show
June felt her heart leap out of her chest at Hardin's words, her lips parted as she tried to say something but there was nothing coming to her head. That kiss had done something to her and she knew deep down Hardin could see it in her eyes.They both remained still staring deep into their eyes but that brief moment of blissful oblivion was shattered when the maid unexpectedly entered the room.Startled by what was going on, she quickly averted her eyes and mumbled an apology, "I'm sorry for interrupting. I didn't know you had company, Sir." Her face turned crimson as she hastily headed back inside. Hardin and June exchanged a sheepish glance before breaking into a light chuckle. "It's quite alright, Maria" Hardin reassured the flustered maid stopping her on her track as she turned around bowing her head to them. "June, this is Maria, your new housekeeper."Maria nodded, still blushing, and extended a polite greeting, "Nice to meet you, Ma'am. If you need anything, don't hesitate to
