"Drake"Victoria exclaimed. Drake, who was quite surprised at her sudden appearance,was quiet for a while but after realising who it was, his eyes widened in annoyance. "Victoria, what a wonderful surprise". clearly not "What are you doing here?". Drake asked. "Shopping as you can see. But you look good, no lovely. What have you been doing?". she asked, completely ignoring Jessica who had been watching them for a while now with curiosity. Drake saw what Victoria was doing and introduced Jessica to her. "This is Jessica, my girlfriend. I came to shop for her". he said introducing Jessica. Jessica smiled at the word "girlfriend" coming out of his mouth. She stretched and shook hands with Victoria even though she already didn't like how she is. Victoria continued asking Drake more questions as if she didn't want him to leave. Jessica felt something eating her up. She felt something pierce her heart, and that thing was jealousy. She was finding it difficult to control her jealousy of se
Raphael kept on investigating more about Drake since he found out his sister was pregnant with his child. Though he found it a little weird when he saw them at the restaurant that fateful day, he never expected it to end this way. He therefore changed his plans on tormenting his sister who he hated so much, to tormenting Drake. First, he would try to break their relationship by telling Drake that his sister was a slut who didn't even care about him but only his money. Next, he would tell him that his sister has had sexual relations with many men, which could mean that he was not the father of the child. As he kept on making those evil plans, something more better formed in his head. He would also try to make his sister think that Drake was cheating on her. He would hire a prostitute to do that for him, by seducing Drake to sleep with her. He gave a loud wicked laugh at that thought and proceeded to make it part of his plans. What
Drake had already started preparing the house for Jessica's sake. He wanted everything to be picture perfect for her before she moved in with him. He doesn't want her to dislike anything that she will set her eyes on in the house, but instead to be drawn closer to it. Even though she will be moving in with him next week, he saw it as tomorrow. As he sat in his office going through some documents, his phone lit up and he saw an unknown number calling. He became anxious of who it might be, but as an endowed man, it could be a threat. He called Santo into his office and handed the phone to him to answer the call. He waited patiently as Santo kept objecting to the other number and kept yelling "WHO THE HELL IS THIS". but was just hanged up at the end. Drake noticed some sort of fret and anger on Santo's face then frowned. "Who was it". ".I don't know Boss, all he kept doing was laughing". he said silently. "Hahaha, I do
Jessica was about to embrace herself for what Amanda was about to say when she got a notification from her phone. She took it to check what it was when her eyes widened at what she saw. She couldn't believe it. Her eyes are playing tricks on her now. She became infuriated and wondered what Drake was doing with her. She had noticed how the woman gawked at him when they met at the mall, and that alone made her stomach turn. "Jess, what's wrong? What's with that look". Amanda asked perturbedly. Standing up, she said "Nothing, I need to make a call". she quickly dashed out of the room without waiting for Amanda's reply. She had to know what was going on. She knew she was getting jealous, but she didn't care about that if her man was about to be stolen. Drake was fuming with anger as they drove home. Deep down, he knew that if Victoria continued with this drama, it would not end well with him and Jessica. And the last thing that he wants
Drake couldn't control the happiness he was feeling. How vigilance Jessica was towards him made his heart explode with joy. He remembered back years ago when no one could even look at him. Though he was a piece of beauty, he had nothing in his pocket to provide for someone. His heart, though as soft as cloud, went through so much pain and agony. Any smile that lit up his face, later turned into sorrow. He was laughed at, he was mocked and he was tortured. But who could blame him, growing up without not knowing what a motherly love was. Living and being raised by a man was all he knew of, but nature seemed to have smiled at him. He had met someone who could remove the pain out of him. Someone who would want to share his pain, his sorrow. Jessica, this woman who took his breath away, who sealed the hole in his heart and gave him the contentment he could ever wish for, was about to become the mother of his child , what more cou
From her father's office, Jessica went to Drake's house to surprise him, and indeed, he was taken aback when he saw her and began his scolding. "What are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be at home resting". he said, leading her to a seat. Jessica looked at him in a funny way and then smiled. "What?". Drake asked. "What?". *Why are you smiling that way?.*Drake looked at her confused. "I just came over to surprise you, but you seem to be disappointed to see me". She pretended to be sad and let a tear fall down her cheek which broke Drake's heart into a million pieces. He swiftly got down on his knees in front of her and began begging. "Oh no, please don't cry. Look, I didn't mean to scold you. I was only worried why you left home without not calling me to pick you up. I was thinking of what could have happened to you if someone tried to attack the guards, which made me annoyed. Am sorry love, I promise I won't do that again o
Jessica reached up and gently touched his cheeks as he deepened the kiss, letting his fingers rest at the back of her neck and the other on her hips. She kissed him back slowly at first, then gradually with more need and passion. She tasted him and it ignited a fire in her soul. When she prayed the kiss should last forever despite the shock she was still in, he broke the kiss but didn't release her. Instead, he embraced her and she laid her head on his chest. She smiled at his sudden behaviour but when the thought of maybe because he was drunk which made him get turned on like this popped into her head, the smile disappeared. She broke the hug and decided to help him upstairs to take a rest. Whatever happened that made him dash out of the house and come back drunk will be discussed tomorrow. She called her mother to inform her that she would not be coming home tonight and will spend the night at Drake's place."" Within five years of the establishment of Solar Light Organizations L
He continuously trailed his fingers through her hair. And after some few minutes of sobs, she redrew back and looked into his eyes. She could see shame in them, but what could she do, someone had given false allegations which she hadn't done or planned to do. Just as he was about to apologise, the sudden ring of his phone sounded like gunshots, causing him to turn around. Light from the screen of the phone lit up the entire room. It took a moment for him to regain his equilibrium. He was fuming as he gritted his teeth in anger. Who could be ruining this moment. Why couldn't they wait till now. He looked at the caller and noticed it was Victoria. He raised his head up and looked at Jessica. She looked cute and innocent. To him, she was exotic and everything about her was languorous. From that, he rejected the call and switched off his phone, not wanting to be disturbed anymore. "Who was that?"She asked. "I don't think it
Bianca woke up with a headache in the morning. Her head was resting on Raphael's bare shoulder. She lifted her head and her eyes fell on his exposed chest and stomach before letting it fall back on his face again. Gosh, this man is so beautiful.And as though he could hear her thoughts, Raphael's eyes fluttered open. He took a second to register his surroundings and when his eyes fell on the naked Bianca, his brows creased in utter disgust. He immediately stood upright, hardly pushing the girl off his shoulders, as though she was a disease, an annihilatory plague."oh please, you're not going to treat me this way again, will you?" Bianca asked, annoyed."Get out!" Raphael did not even spare her a glance when he ordered her."Why? Wasn't last night enough taste for you" she asked him seductively, fluttering her long, fake eyelashes while tracing her fingertips on her small pink lips."I said get out!" he repeated again, growing impatient now."Why should I go? This is my house" She ret
The man who moves a mountain begins by carrying away small stones..Unknown**********************************************Irene, not able to withhold herself anymore, dubiously dragged Micheal out from the presence of her father, who in return stared at them with suspicion. 'I hope it's not what I'm thinking, he better not be..' Irene kept thinking all the way to their backyard while Micheal was smiling, enjoying the feel of her tiny hands wrapped around his huge ones. He wondered if that was the feeling just her wrist was producing, then what of her breasts.Irene stopped, pulled him hard enough to lose his balance, pinned her hands on both sides of her waist, and..."You better start explaining yourself. Why are you in that uniform? Why are you dressed like the gangsters? Why do you look so awful? In Fact you look.... Do you know what, just start explaining yourself. You have five minutes!" Irene demanded, perplexed.Micheal kept mute. He didn't know where to start, so he just
He regretted talking to her like that. He regretted not asking for her well-being all this while he had been asleep. He regretted not being able to understand that her heart might have been in pain. But it was too late now. He had already done the damage.He should have understood that she had exerted a great deal of effort just to be strong for the child and herself. The child, his child. Yes! It's his child. He could perfectly commemorate the most beautiful moment in his life which occurred a few hours ago, when he held the baby in his fragile arms.He was in panic when his hands shook the moment the baby landed. Since he was still weak, fear electrified his body and immediately his conscience told him to be careful before he did anything stupid. That was until the baby opened his tiny mouth and sighed sleepily in his arms.As he watched the baby, a sudden overprotectiveness swept over him. He suddenly made a promise to himself to protect him at all cost, whether in good or bad. Bef
She asked as she looked at him up and down, not knowing what to say because that wasn't just any outfit she noticed, but the attackers had the same attire on.The only reason keeping her mouth shut was because of the presence of her father. She knew that the moment she blurted out whatever was running through her head, he would react within a second which would cause trouble for Micheal. So she would keep to herself her thoughts and question him later, when they are assured of their safety.The three carefully run through the back door and out of the house. No sooner had they left the house than someone came in, looking for blood to shed.""Jessica entered her room with a sulky expression and divided onto her bed. Her body felt frail because of all the episodes which had unfolded themselves. 'Did it have to be like this' she said to herself 'Why does it hurt so much' , She shut her eyes tight, trying as best as she can to fall into a deep slumber but it seems sleep was miles and mi
Irene stopped dead in her tracks with her father trailing behind when she noticed that the sound of the gunshot was not just in her neighbourhood, but was close enough for the proprietor to be right at her doorstep.The rate of her heartbeat increased ten fold and panic struck her together with trepidation. Immediately without needing anyone one to tell her, she searched her eyes around the room looking for another passage way to escape from the hall in order to not fall into the hands of a cutthroat.Liam, who was a bit conscious, now pulled her with him into the closest room, which ended up being the storage room of their little abode. It had an old rusted door knob which had never been changed ever since the house was built forty years ago before he bought and moved in with his wife many years later to begin a journey of a beautiful family.The door also had a hole like the size of a tennis ball which he had plastered with the solution tape, but it seems that was useless as the tap
"One of the greatest slavery in life, is to allow your mind to control you…". The words echoed in her head, never drifting away.It hurts, it hurts a lot to have him speaking to her that way, but deep down she had the feeling she deserves it. She deserves it all as what he was saying to her now is just a penny of what she had said months before. Nothing would have hurt more to call someone a curse, saying he wreckens whatever he touches."Luck is a dividend of sweat. The more you sweat, the luckier you get. I sweat to make my life better. To make my future generations happy and be proud of who their ancestor was whenever my name is mentioned. That luck fell on you when you conceived my child, when that seed began to grow in you"."I pushed away all those thoughts and insults that were reigned on me to be happy with you. Because I believe life is too short to stress yourself with people who don't even deserve to be an issue in your life". He paused and breathed in a bit, and tried to s
'Look at those eyes of his. They look exactly like mine, even much candescent. And Gosh, those lips, they can debilitate any girl's legs when he flashes them a smile. Oh, oh look he's smiling at me now. What an angel. Who would have thought I would one day get to hold him in my arms'. Drake thought as he tried hard to hold back his tears which were already at the barrier.'Isn't this beautiful' Jessica thought 'Finally, I have managed to catch a glimpse of that smile of his after many months of nothing but silence,. This is the best moment of my life' Beside her, there were sniff sounds coming from Niel as he stared at Drake with the baby in his weak but still muscular arms 'My son, I'm so proud of you. I knew from the moment I held you that you were special. Even special is too low of a word to be used for you' Niel also had his train of thoughts racing through his head."He's so beautiful". Drake said, looking up at Jessica who had a huge smile on her lips."Thank you". She replied
Jessica kept pacing back and forth, waiting for the results of the tests from the doctor's but it seems to be taking ages for them to emerge from the room. She was scared, scared as hell of what might happen.She was happy when Drake opened his eyes, but fear struck her when she saw the colour of his eyes. It was easy to say they were not the same as they were before, as long as she could remember. "What is taking them so long", she mumbled as she was unable to contain herself. She just wants to bump the door open and walk inside to check on him."What is happening? Why are you outside", Niel came in, together with the baby in his hands. For the first time in months, Jessica saw a worried look on the man's face. She could feel he had the sense that something was not right.Walking towards him, she took the baby from him and held him firmly in her hands. "Drake woke..", She got cut off in mid sentence as the door to the room opened. Out came the doctors and nurses, some with smiles on
She searched her eyes around the whole area, before fixing her eyes on the green scenery which greeted her eyes. It was the magnificent balcony for the J's Collections and one of the most beautiful places in the company. It might be a fashion company, but it's one of the companies with the most beautiful designs and interior.That shouldn't be something new though, since Jessica is the daughter of one of the prominent men in the continent, she should have the money and everything to build up a company up to this great stage. ' Money was like nothing to that family', people would say whenever they see Raphael out there flaunting his wealth to the outside world.In a week, about eight different sports cars would emerge from his house, with him being the same person steering the wheels. Rumours have it that he has thirty percent of his father's shares and therefore he is gaining one third of the money the company makes.Another rumour was that he could spend over twenty thousand pounds a
