Desmond couldn't believe he was about to sleep without sex. He have never been in that situation. He was angry but he couldn't do anything. He don't want to force her and he can't possibly fix the wedding because she was denying him her body.Daniella was expecting him to dance to her tune but he turned, facing his back at her. Daniella was disappointed. She thought he will fix the wedding date if she denied him sex but it failed.Desmond didn't say anything again, leaving Daniella unsettled. She wanted to change her mind and resolve with Desmond but she couldn't. At this point, she needed to maintain her sneeze.Both slept off afterwards. The next day, Desmond woke up and got prepared. He didn't even talked to her. As he was about to leave, He heard Daniella's voice from the back, "You are leaving without even talking to me?""Why will I talk to you? Can you let me be? Can you?""Is it about last night? I....I'm sorry. I....I over reacted and I'm sorry.""I don't have time for you n
"I'm not a public food. I'm reserved for rich men like you. I'm sure I'm more endowed than the woman in your house. Men like you eat fresh and not bones.""I'm still not interested.""You don't know what you are about to miss.""I'm not missing anything. I have a pregnant woman in my house. You want me to cheat on her? Will it be fair? Remember she's a woman like you." Desmond said, trying to Play emotional counter strategy."It's not a big deal. Men cheats on their pregnant wife. I once had sex with a man who's wife was about to deliver. He was speaking with her on the phone while I was busy riding him. So you won't be the first.""And you think it's normal? They probably don't love their wife. I won't try that.""I can see you are not a real man. Real men cheats on their wife. They have fun with multiple women, something they won't get from their wives. I will leave you and wait for real men. Your loss." She said and stood up, then saunter off, swaying her immaculate ass from side t
"Well, you are bold. I will give you that. But I'm not the type of man you think I am. I will appreciate if you leave my sight." Desmond said and continued with his drink."Stop talking as if you often gets a hot woman like me chatting you up." She said and Desmond chuckled. He couldn't tell if she was joking or if she actually thought she was something special."As old as you are, you are still feeling yourself as if you are anything special. I think you have the wrong idea about who you are talking with.""No, you are the one who is mistaken. All I know is that at the end, you and me will be leaving together. We are going to know each other very well. I mean..,.very well. And by that. I mean we are going to my place, get naked and have sex, lots of it.""I... I... what?" Desmond stammered, shaking his head. He was lost of words. He was baffled. Was she joking or what? Was she pranking him? How could an old woman like her presume that a handsome rich guy like him would cheat on his
(Few Days Later. In a Conference meeting)As Anabel was giving her Speech, Sylvester, a medium profile business man was sitting at the the back of the auditorium, with his arms crossed. The Conference had drawn in some of the most brilliant minds from the state and Anabel was one of them. His eyes was fixed on the stage, watching Anabel's speech. She was taking the podium with a confident stride. Sylvester found himself captivated with her excellent command in speech. Not just by her ideas, but by her very presence. There was a certain spark in her, an undeniable energy that commands attention. Ever since she witnessed Anabel's action on Zacklid group launching day, he had been looking forward to meet her, which was the main reason he came to the conference meeting. He had made research about her and had gotten all the information he needed. HER REAL IDENTITY. Thanks to his boys that worked it out without wasting time.When the event came to an end, Sylvester made his way to the fro
"I don't think it's necessary. If you are here to talk about love, then we have to call it a day." Anabel said. "It's okay. But can we be friends? I will like to be a friend. We can get to work in future. Like collaboration or something like that." Sylvester said and Anabel stared at him. He looked rich and smart, qualified to have her personal number. "I will give you my number, but don't disturb me. I'm a busy person." Anabel said and gave him her number. Sylvester smiled, he have taken a step to get Anabel. He knew he won't fail. Days passed and he began to send love messages. Anabel would read and ignore. She didn't want to give him any chance. . . A week later, Anabel's father handed one of his company to her. "You will become the acting CEO. If you survive, you will have the company." It was an automobile company. An electric car which was working with an advanced driver's assistant system, just like Zacklid group. She was happy and ready to move it to another level.
Anabel smiled, feeling a sense of relief wash over her. "Thank you, Sylvester. I really appreciate it." Twenty minutes later, a tall, lanky guy with a messy beard and a mop of curly hair walked into Anabel's office. He was dressed in a pair of ripped jeans and a faded t-shirt, and he looked like he had just rolled out of bed. "Hey, sorry I'm late," he said, extending a hand to Anabel. "I'm Max." Anabel shook his hand, trying not to stare at his disheveled appearance. He doesn't look like a professional. He looked like an indoor hacker who couldn't bag a job. "Nice to meet you, Mr. Max. Thank you for coming." Max nodded and turned to Sylvester. "What is the problem?" "Mr. Jenkins will tell you everything." Sylvester said and Jenkins explained everything to him. When Jenkins finished, Max nodded. "I think I can resolve it. Can you show me the system?" Mr. Jenkins led Max to the server room, and Anabel followed, curious to see what Max would do. For the next few thirty minutes, M
"I think Sylvester is right. This company needs the best man and I think it will be nice if we take Mr. Max." Anabel said."But what about Mr. Jenkins, the current head of the IT department?" The Manager asked. "Will you fire him?""I understand your concerns, Mr. Mike," Anabel said with a gentle voice gentle. "But I have to think about what's best for the company. And right now, I think Max is the best person for the job."Mr. Jenkins' face fell, and he looked like he was going to cry. "But what about me?" He asked with a voice which was barely above a whisper. "What am I supposed to do?"Anabel felt a pang of sympathy for the older man, but she knew that she couldn't let sentiment cloud her judgment. She turned to Jenkins with a thoughtful expression on her face. "I won't let you go. No, I won't fire you. I want to offer you a chance to stay with the company. You can work under Max, and I'm sure both of you can work together and lift the company to the next level."Jenkins' face li
After meeting Anabel, he left the company with a satisfied smile. He have achieved what he wanted. It was all planned, and it worked perfectly. Just yesterday, Sylvester was sitting at his desk, his fingers tapping rhythmically on the keyboard as he was reviewing the latest reports from Anabel's company. He had been meticulously gathering information, waiting for the perfect moment to strike. A knock on the door interrupted him. He glanced at the clock and then got up to open the door. He opened the door and It was Max, his trusted friend and skilled hacker. "Evening, Sylvester," Max greeted and stepped inside. "You called." Sylvester nodded and closed the door behind him. "Yeah, I have a job for you. It's a big one, and if we pull it off, it will set everything in motion." Max raised an eyebrow with a smile. "I'm listening." Sylvester led Max to the living room, where he had set up a makeshift command center. He pointed to the screen displaying detailed schematics and data from
"Ladies and gentlemen," He began with a serious voice. "It appears our bidder for the bracelet could not pay. Therefore, as per the rules, she is hereby fined one thousand dollars."Daniella felt the weight of the room's eyes upon her, and the murmurs of the crowd grew louder. Her face was flushed with embarrassment.She could hear someone whisper. "I'm sure she can't even pay for the penalty fee."Deep down, Daniella knew that the person was saying the truth. The fact was that she didn't even have the money for the penalty fee, let alone fifty thousand dollars for the bracelet."Isn't her fiance supposed to be wealthy? Maybe he had gone broke." Another person added.Desmond began to feel embarrassed. Daniella was about to ruin his image in front of everyone. He knew how bad it would be if he don't react. He stood a chance of loosing investors if he doesn't act. They would think he had gone bankrupt. He had warned her earlier but she choose to drag his feet out.To avoid future shame
Daniella didn't know what else to do. All eyes were on her as if she committed a crime. Everyone was looking forward to see her pay."It's like she can't afford it." She heard on girl whispering to her friend."But why will she mention an amount she couldn't afford. She should pay up quickly." She heard the friend reply. Soon, the room began to heat up."I'm waiting for you, Miss Daniella. How will you pay?" The host asked. At this point, he was loosing his patience. "I'm sorry sir, Just a minute." She answered and quickly tested Desmond. "Please help me out and pay. This is so embarrassing. All eyes are on me."She sent the text and looked at his direction. Desmond got the notification and opened the message. He frowned and looked back at Daniella. He shook his head and began to type.Immediately, Daniella got a massage. She opened it and felt flabbergasted. Desmond texted that she should find a way and sort it out by herself, that It's non of his business."Miss Daniella. You are t
"Ladies and gentlemen, it's time for the auction to begin." The host began. "Our first item up for bid is a stunning diamond bracelet, and it's starting at five thousand dollars." The crowd murmured with interest, especially the women, as the host held up the exquisite piece of jewelry. Its diamonds were attracting the light and sparkling brilliantly. "Six thousand dollars." One of the women in the crowd raised her bidding paddle. "Ten thousand dollars." Anabel raised her bidding paddle with a confident smile. She didn't bother to look around to gauge people's reaction. Though she was expecting Daniella to react. She wanted to show Daniella what she was capable of. Daniella's heart flared up in jealousy as she saw Anabel bid. She took a deep breath to calm herself down but she couldn't. Desmond had warned her to avoid Anabel and never compete with her but she couldn't stand it. Unable to resist the urge to compete, she raised her paddle and called out, "Twelve thousand dollar
"Don't you hear her? She said you should excuse her." Sylvester said when Desmond hesitated."I will go but I won't give up. I still believe you have something that belongs to me." Desmond said and turned to Sylvester. "And I won't allow you to take it. I'm watching you." He said and left with Daniella. Daniella was murmuring. She wasn't settled with what Desmond said.Anabel turned to Sylvester. "Thanks for acting along. You are so smart.""Anything for you." Sylvester replied. "Though i'm hoping you will give in to me soon. We can actually make a nice couple.""Yeah, but I still need time to think about it." Anabel replied. ..."I need to tell you something, Daniella." Desmond spoke up when they walked some distance away from Anabel and Sylvester "What is that?" She asked "Remember i told you i didn't come to bid on the auction. But now that Anabel is here, I know you will be moved to challenge her. I don't want you to compete with her. Once she's involved in any bidding, don't
As he approached Anabel, she noticed him and leered at him. "Hi, Anabel, how are you doing?" He greeted and Anabel looked around, acting as if she's searching to know who he was talking to. "Are you talking to me?' "I'm talking to you, Anabel. How are you doing." Desmond, repeated. "Ohh! As you can see, I'm fine. I haven't came back begging you. What do you want?" "Please can we talk for a moment?" Desmond asked, trying to keep his voice steady. Anabel crossed her arms. Her was gaze cool but distant. "Talk about what exactly? Do we have any business?" Desmond hesitated, then gestured towards her rounded tummy. "I couldn't help but notice... Are you pregnant?" Desmond asked and Anabel let out a dismissive laugh. "So you approached me to ask me if I'm pregnant. So you came to mock me?" "No, I didn't say so. I was....curious. I saw your tummy and it seemed like...." "The last time i checked, I was called a barren woman. What business does a barren woman have to do with pr
After eating, he cleared the table and went to meet Daniella. He got into the room and found her crying. "You are crying?" He went and sat down behind her. "You are crying because of wedding?""You don't know what I'm passing through. I can't stand all the insults from my friends. They are calling me baby mama. Some are saying you will kick me our the way you kicked Anabel and I can see it's true.""You don't need to be listening to them. You know what? I will inform my mom and we will fix the wedding date.""Your mom? You know she hates me now. You can just fix the wedding and inform her later." Daniella said. She knew that Mrs. Elizabeth may not approve it."Don't worry about it. I will sort it out. Stop crying." He wiped her tears and kissed her forehead. "Thank you. I love you so much." "I love you too, baby." Desmond replied. "I will be going for Mayor's auction tomorrow.""But......" Daniella was about to talk and he interrupted. "I know what you are about to say. It's not c
"Alright. At least you had a great time there. But I don't want it to repeat again. You are not living alone. You have a man." Desmond said and Daniella smiled, seeing that he had bought her lies. "No Problem. It won't repeat again." She said and hugged him again. "I will go now and prepare breakfast for you." She added with a warm smile. As she turned to leave, Desmond pulled her back and rested a hand on her shoulder. "You need to rest, you just got back. I don't want you to start stressing yourself out." Daniella's smile faltered for a moment, before she regained her composure. Desmond was quite easy to be fooled. "I'm not weak Honey. I can handle it. Don't worry about me." She gave him a quick peck on the cheek. Desmond couldn't help but smiled. As Daniella was cooking in the kitchen, the aroma of the food wafted through the air, making Desmond's stomach growl with anticipation. She was cooking his favourite food. Soon, she was done. She served the food and called Desmond.
The next day, after an early morning sex. Daniella got prepared and was checking herself in the mirror when Leonard spoke up."How about the wedding. I'm yet to hear from you. Have he fix the wedding date?" He asked."Not yet." Daniella replied while working on her scattered hair."We don't have time. You know that. You need to do something about it. We need him to move fast. The sooner you guys gets married, the sooner we move forward with our plan. Any delay can cause disaster.”Daniella took a deep breath and turned to him. “I know. I’ve tried everything, but he is not listening to me. He keeps talking about his business and how he had been loosing contracts. I don't know how long it will take.""Why will he keep delaying? Does is mean that he's sensing something?" Leonard asked."No, I don't think so. He have never suspected anything.""Then why the delay?" "To be sincere, he had been loosing contract recently and it's weighting him down. We just need time." She said and wore his
As they were talking, the doorbell rang. Leonard knew who were knocking and went to open the door for them. When he opened the door, it was five of his friends as he expected. "Happy birthday, Leonard!" his friends cheered as they entered, carrying gifts and bottles of champagne. The room was quickly filled with more friends. They settled in, ready to celebrate with him. Daniella played the perfect hostess, ensuring that everyone had a drink and felt comfortable even though she was pregnant. They didn't waste time in lightening the cake and wishing him well when he brew it. Soon, the party kicked into high gear and Leonard's friends took turns sharing funny stories and toasting to his health and happiness. After a few rounds of drinks, someone suggested playing a game to lighten things up. "How about we play 'Never Have I Ever'?" One of Leonard's friends suggested with a mischievous grin on his face. The group agreed, and they gathered in a circle, each person holding a drink. Th
