Maya's heart fluttered on hearing that "How can a man be this sweet and loving" she asked inwardly, She rolled her eyes at Jason in excitement and Jason in return smiled at her and patted her hands softly The car halted in front of a big boutique, one of the best in the city. Jason got down and opened the car door for Maya. Jason had been doing this for months, always opening the car door for Maya to step out like the queen she was.Stepping into the boutique, the receptionist bowed her head in respect to greet Jason, Having the wealthiest billionaire shop with them was such an honor. She led them to the couch, and they sat down."l need the best beach-wear for my woman" Jason retorted, The attendant glanced at Maya a smile plastered on her face, she recognized her immediately as the lady he officially introduced as his future wife, she couldn't help but admire Maya, she was such a beautiful thing to behold and she was lucky to have the most wanted bachelor in the city as his man.Th
Jason moved closer to Maya, seeing how she stood still in shock without saying a word, he snaked his hands around her waist from behind making her to turn facing him."Please do me the honor of being my woman," he said as he pointed his hand to the words written boldly and smoothly on the sand.Maya broke out of her daze and dragged in a hasty breath, staring Jason deep into his eyes she said." When you presented me the divorce papers five years ago, l felt my whole world was crashing, since the day l set my eyes on you, l have loved you with every fiber in me but what did I get in return, pains!. You treated me like l was some trash you picked from the slum, l agree l married you even though you kicked against it, maybe l shouldn't have forced my love on you. All l wanted back then was for you to reciprocate my love for you, You treated me in the worse ways you deemed fit but l still stayed!. I wanted our marriage to work, l wanted you to make love to me so badly in the most romantic
Jayden ran out of his grandparent's mansion as soon as he heard the car horn, he had refused to sleep even after his grandmother read him a bedtime story, he wanted to wait for his parents to come and as soon as he heard the car horn, he quickly ran outside to welcome them with his grandmother scurrying after him. Jason bent down to his level and carried him happily.Maya moved closer to Jason's Mom and with a huge grin on her face, she hugged her."Thanks for taking care of Jayden, hope he didn't trouble you guys, l know he can be a handful sometimes," Maya retorted, Knowing how smart her son was, he must have bombarded them with questions "Not at all, he's such a lovable boy, you've got a smart son. And you don't need to thank me, he's my grandson." Jason's mom said with smiles plastered on her face, one could tell she had a great time with her grandson. "l know, I'm very lucky to have him, l mean we are lucky to have him," Maya said, giving Jayden a playful ruffle on his hair. Ja
Jason's heart was racing rapidly after he hung up the phone, he was still shocked at the news he just received, he stared at his phone, momentarily stupefied, trying to assimilate what he just heard. A dull panic was climbing inside him, he was trying to process the news he just received."Lizzy is Alice. How?" he queried inwardly. He couldn't deny that there was something off about Lizzy the first time they met, normally he usually flirted with girls to satisfy his sexual urge in the past, but when Lizzy approached him in the club, he felt like there was something off about her, she acted familiar but he didn't think about it much because he thought they haven't met before "But why did she fake her own death?" Jason rolled his eyes in rage, picking up his phone he called John back, he had hung up on John even before he could brief him on his findings "Sir, I'm glad you called back, l was about to call you again, there's more information that you haven't heard yet," John said, soun
Maya's heart raced as she wondered what Jason wanted to talk about. She shifted the meeting she was supposed to attend with her board of directors. Jason sounded urgent and she needed to find out what he wanted to talk about. As she drove to Foster's group, her heart raced, and a lot of thoughts were going through her mind." Did he change his mind about her? Does he want to end things so quickly?" she queried inwardly. She waved off the thoughts from her mind, She knew Jason loved her, she could see it in his eyes and feel it in her bones. The way he looked at her sent chills and desire down her spine. The way he adores her and professes his love for her without batting an eyelid. Wanting to end things with her was far from it, however, she needed to see him and hear from him. She walked into the company as everyone bowed their head in respect, Jason had already informed them about his woman, so she wasn't surprised about how they all treated her with so much regard. Her face lit up
Jason's heart soared at her words. Pleasure rushed through him and he took her face in his hands, looking into her eyes. He asked, "Are you sure?"Maya could hear the sincerity in Jason's voice. She knew that he was waiting for her to say no, to back away, to tell him that this was moving too fast. But she couldn't do that. She was sure, beyond a shadow of a doubt.Maya glanced at him. Her heart raced rapidly. Jason's eyes were adorable and always felt like he was peering into her soul."Yes, I'm sure, please kiss me Jason" she pleaded passionately "With all pleasure Cupcake," Jason said, grinning from ear to earMaya's heart always flutters whenever he calls her"Cupcake". This man made her heart race. Butterflies went wild in her stomach whenever he was near.She didn't know what the future held but what she knew at the moment was that she wanted him to kiss her passionately Jason smiled as he grabbed the back of her neck, covering the tiny space between them. He bent her head acro
Maya's heart fluttered. She dragged in a sharp breath and said, " l have to get back to work now"She stood up and placed a perk on Jason's cheek. Ready to go.Jason smirked. He snaked his hand around Maya's waist, pulling her back to the couch, and said, "Not so fast Cupcake. Aren't you forgetting something"Her lips curved into a warm smile knowing what Jason had in mind. Her heart thudded twice and her cheeks reddened. She leaned back and placed a kiss on his lips. She used her right hand to massage his lips gently "That's more like it, Baby. How about we go see the movie later with Jayden and grab dinner afterward?" Jason retorted as he raised one of her hands and kissed the back of her palm.Maya smiled and glanced at him"That will be nice. You know Jayden came home the other day saying that he wanted to go to the Cinema. I was supposed to take him there today. He will be very happy to hear this" Maya replied, her face beaming with smiles.Jason chuckled. He leaned over and perk
Maya was captivating in her gorgeous black dazzling sequin dress which had a tiny opening and a plunging neckline revealing her cleavage slightly. She stared at the mirror as she admired herself. A smile crossed her face. The dress accentuated her curves perfectly, she pulled her hair back in a sleek ponytail, with a few strands artfully framing her face. The ponytail was secured at the nape of her neck, allowing her hair to fall in a soft cascade down her back. She wore the silver stiletto that Jason bought for her, it was just the right height that she could comfortably walk in itShe completed the look with the diamond earrings and necklace that came with the dress that Jason got for her. When she was done. She exuded elegance and sophistication. She did a quick once-over in the mirror before she finally grabbed her black purse and headed to Jayden's room.Jayden squinted his eyes the moment his mother entered his room. He smiled and said, "You look beautiful Mommy"Maya's heart m
Camilla's POV I watched Marcus play with the kids from the door, much to his oblivion. He bonded with them so well that the connection between them was undeniable. He always makes time for me and the kids, even though he is always busy with work. Whoever brought out that saying that says a man who loves and cares about you will always make time for you, no matter how busy he is was right. With Marcus, everything felt so real. The kids loved him so much and so do I. Even though I tried to mask those feelings, he had shown them so much care that sometimes it overwhelmed me, it felt so surreal, but I was glad to have him in our lives. He made life meaningful for us. He made us feel safe around him. After Marcus told me the reason his wife left him, I felt so bad for him, he found out he couldn't get a woman pregnant two years after he got married. He discussed it with his wife and she promised to be there for him but she eventually left him a year after which left him broken. I know ho
Camilla's POVIt's been four months since the court case ended, and as expected I won. I could remember vividly, the look on David's face when Catherine played the recording, the look of disgust on everyone present on that day was undeniable.People cursed him for being a pathetic husband and father, all in the name of vengeance, which has eaten deep into him and made him forget about humanity.He signed the divorce papers and I also got a restraining order on him, for the threats he lashed out at me on the recording, he was advised to stay far away from me and the kids or face the law if he decides to do anything stupid again to hurt us.Two weeks after the court case, I heard he left town and has not returned since then.I was at peace with myself as well, knowing my Father wasn't guilty of what David accused him of or what he believed my father did to his family.David's father had gone for a dirty operation, which didn't go as planned and he ended up killing a whole family just to
Camilla's POVAll I just wanted was to divorce his sorry ass and move on with my kids without making a fuss, even when everyone thought otherwise.I just wanted my sanity and my life back. But, since David wants to play dirty with me, I'm going to show him that two can actually play this game. Now that I think about it, I play good comeback games."Meet him in court then" were my last words to Catherine and I meant it, I mean, why not? I have what it takes now to reduce him to nothing, in front of everyone, and make everyone see him for who he truly is.People might think he's one caring father who couldn't bear the thought of staying away from his kids, hence the reason he's fighting for custody. However that wasn't the case here, he never cared for those kids, he never showed them love and now he wants custody just to spite me. I can't believe that I once loved someone as scheming as David.I'm sure he doesn't have an inkling of what's coming for him, his greatest mistake was abduct
Camilla's POV I got home and cracked the door open. "Mommy is back" Jasmine chimed and ran happily to hug me. I smiled and went down on my haunches and carried her, enveloping her in a warm hug. Zion ran towards me, followed by Athena. Who frowned and pouted her mouth. "Is my turn to hug Mommy" she chimed in, pouting and opening her arms for me to see. I smiled, carried Jasmine down, and gave them a group hug instead. "Mommy, why do you have to spend the night at Aunt Serena's house?" Zion asked as soon as we broke the hug. "Grandma said it's because of work," Athena replied. "Right baby, Mommy had a lot of work and we didn't finish on time, so I decided to sleep over. You guys missed Mommy right?" I asked, my face beaming with smiles. "Yes, Mommy we did" they chorused. "Of course they did, they wouldn't even let me rest since morning, they've been asking about you," Rosalie said as she walked into the living room, a surge of smile plastered on her face. I smiled and cares
Rosalie's POVI was seated on the couch when Camilla told me she was going to the mall and she would be back soon, she seemed happy, I was more than glad she was, I just wanted my daughter to be happy again.Camilla used to be a happy girl while growing up, her father loved her dearly, and she had always made us proud, coming out of college with good grades.Her father passed on later, it was a very difficult time for us but we eventually found the courage to face life again. Camilla inspired me so much and all I did, I did for her. Not until she came home one day and told me she met someone, I was so happy that she had someone in her life, her emotions were all over the place about this guy. Months later, she got engaged. Honestly, I wasn't happy about how fast everything was moving but my daughter was so damn happy "Camilla" I called, a few days after her engagement."Yes Mom" she answered, her face beaming with smiles, I could see how happy she was."Are you sure about settling d
David's Pov"Fuck!! How did I let this happen, how could she escape right under my nose? Gosh! I shouldn't have brought her here, maybe if she didn't know her way around the house she wouldn't have escaped, what was I thinking? I should have been more careful" I lamented, clenching my fist hard."Ooouch" I groaned in pain as I struggled to stand on my feet. I walked slowly to the kitchen to grab a bottle of water. I needed to be calm to think about what to do next. I gulped down the whole content of the bottle and slowly walked to the living room and sat down on one of the couches."That nitwit had the guts to hit me, and of all places, my freaking balls!" I let out vehemently. I was about reducing her to nothing, I was about reminding her of who she will ever be regardless of how hard she tries not to be that person. She was just some piece of trash that will always be at my mercy.I honestly thought I had this planned out, not until she escaped. I've trailed her for some days now. I
Camilla's Pov"Camilla, Camilla, Camilla" I heard Serena calling my name in panic, that was the last thing I heard before I blacked out again.I groaned as I opened my eyes, I was lying down on a bed and was properly covered with a blanket, it was morning already. "Oouch" I winced in pain as the event of yesterday flooded into my head.I remember how I took off as fast as my legs could carry me, I didn't bother to look back, I knew David was going to have my head if he happened to catch me after I tried to run away.Thankfully, I have been to Serena's place twice and I still remembered her address, I ran out of David's house and boarded a taxi, which brought me to Serena's house.I was lost in my reverie when the door suddenly cracked open and Serena walked in with a cup of coffee and hurriedly joined me on the bed."Thank goodness, you're awake" She muttered and pulled me into a warm hug."I was so scared when you fainted last night," she said as soon as we broke the hug. "Here, th
I opened my eyes slowly, trying to adjust my eyes to the light in the room, I groaned in pain, scanning the room.The events of what happened earlier came flooding into my head, David had abducted me, I knew it, that crazy man was up to no good after all.It dawned on me that I was in the guest room at David's house, I used to live here so I recognized where I was instantly, my hands were tied to the back of a chair. I struggled to untie myself but I couldn't. I tried harder and the rope began to loosen by itself, I dragged out one of my hands while the other was still tied up in the rope.I knew David was going to be here anything soon, I needed to act fast before he comes. I slid my hand into my back pocket and found my phone, thankfully he didn't collect it.I wanted to call my Mom for help but at the same time, I didn't want to put her in harm's way. It was almost evening and I knew she was going to be worried sick.I texted her that I would be sleeping over at Serena's place fo
I woke up the next day with a migraine from the hangover. I dragged myself out of bed and entered the bathroom for a quick shower. Thank goodness it was the weekend, otherwise, I would have gone to work with a headache. I changed into something casual and headed downstairs to make breakfast before Zion and his siblings wakes up. I was almost done with making breakfast when Athena walked into the kitchen. "Good morning Mommy" she greeted, trying to rub the sleep off her eyes. "And how is my sunshine doing this morning?" I asked with a smile plastered on my face. "Great Mommy" She replied. "What are you making for breakfast Mommy?" Jasmine asked happily as soon as she entered the kitchen whilst walking up to me for a hug. That was something she does whenever she wakes up from sleep. She would hug my legs with her tiny hands or open her arms for a hug, I always find it cute whenever she does that. "Mommy is making macaroni and cheese, now, you both go upstairs and freshen up, t
