Daniella got up from the seat when she saw it was Desmond. "Thank God you are here. You are just at the right time." "What is that? Is there any problem?" Desmond asked, still holding his office bag. "Your mother. She's disturbing me." Daniella reported. "She's been dragging the television with me, stressing me out." "My mom?" He turned to his mother. "Is she telling the truth?" "She's now acting victim as if I'm the problem problem here." His mother replied. "I was watching a program when she came and changed the channel without taking permission. I can't remember having any problem with her. Just talk to her because I won't take it lightly if she repeats that rubbish." "But why will you do that?" Desmond asked Daniella. "You don't change her channel without telling her. I won't like you disrespect my mother." "So you are supporting your mother right? Instead of supporting your wife, the mother of your baby." "You expect me to support you when you disrespect my mother?" Desm
"It's not entirely my fault. You are too soft to her. Make her know her place in this house. She can't come into the house and think she can control everyone. Just last week, you bought a brand new roll royce for her. You takes her to shopping everytime and even send her money. Stop giving her whatever she demands and watch her change." "The last time I checked, you are the one supporting her. You are the one to talk to her. I don't have time for all these things." Desmond said and left. When he got into the room, Daniella was lying on the bed, pressing her phone. "What have came over you, Daniella? What is the meaning of your new character? Why do you suddenly hate my mother?" "Did I said that I hate her? We need privacy, Desmond. I haven't talked about your sister. Both of then need to leave the house so we can have space. This is what you are supposed to do. You are a family man now. You need to focus on me, your wife. You need to focus on your family. Must I teach you everythi
"Daniella had refused to give me the car keys. I don't know what have came over her." Her mother complained. . "Wait a minute. .... I don't get. She took the car key and,...refused to give you? How? I don't understand." Bella was confused. The statement sounded strange on her ear. "She said she's now incharge of everything. That I will beg her before she gives it to me. Can you imagine?" "Daniella, is she telling the truth? You took the car key? When did that started? You that we brought into this house?" "It doesn't matter how I found myself here. The fact is that this is my house now, and I won't tolerate any kind of disrespect. This is my territory now and I'm setting things in order." "Setting things in order by disrespecting my mom? The other time, you stopped her from watching the television, now you are taking the Car keys on your possession. What have came over you? Remember how you got here. We are the ones that made it possible, now you are biting the finger that feeds
"We didn't! Don't you believe me?" Bella asked. "What is happening here!" Desmond's mom showed up. "Daniella is saying that we fought her. That we tried to kill her baby." "Her action called for it but we can't touch a pregnant woman. Why is she saying that we fought her?" She turned to her. "You want to cause problem between me and my son? Why are you lying." "I'm not lying." Daniella spoke up. "You said you will make sure I loose the pregnancy for refusing to give you the car keys. Desmond, you won't believe Bella was punching me on my tummy. If not that I'm strong, I would have lost the baby. My tummy is still paining me but I'm enduring it." "Why are you two so wicked? This is how both of you treated Anabel. I divorced her and accepted your choice. Now you are abusing her. I can't take this anymore." Desmond said in anger. "Wait.... don't tell me you believed what she said. She's lying against us." Bella said. "Just as you used to say when Anabel was here. She's always lyin
(A week later).."I will be going for a business trip tomorrow." Desmond announced when he came back from work."Tomorrow? That's urgent. You should have informed me on time so I can prepared." Daniella said. "Prepare?" Desmond asked. "Who said you are coming with me? This is business trip and I'm going with some top shareholders. You are not going with me.""How long is the trip?" Daniella asked."One week." Desmond replied. "Though I know how boring it can be for you. You would have stayed with my mom and sister but they are no longer around. You will be staying alone.""I don't even need them. I can sort myself out." Daniella said while thinking of what to do through out the week. Suddenly, her mind flashed to her boyfriend. She smiled, realizing how fun if will be if she invite him over. Nobody will be around to monitor her."Its just a week though. I'm sure you won't feel it much. We will be talking on video call." Desmond said, trying to make her feel good. Only if he knew th
Daniella was putting the last of the clothes in the washing machine for later when she heard a knock on the door. She doesn't need any prophet to tell her who was knocking. This was all she had been waiting for. Home alone with her boyfriend. She had been waiting for him ever since Desmond stepped out of the house. She walked to the door and pulled the door open. She wasn't disappointed. Her boyfriend, Leonard was standing with a broad smile on his face. He was carrying his traveling bag and a small duffel bag. With the size of his bag, she could tell that he came prepared. Leonard was wearing a navy sweatshirt and a pair of gray sweatpants that leave little to her imaginations. And, of course, that signature cocky grin of his was plastered on his face. "Hey dear, Daniella." He spoke up with his deep voice., "You can see I didn't disappoint." He said with a slight grin on his face. Her blood has already run cold, and she was struggling to properly form a response. Yes, she told h
Suddenly, Leonard broke off and picked his bag back up off the floor and smirked "I'll put my bag in your husband's room. At least you'll finally be able to say you're sharing a bed with a real man now." He laughed. "I don't think it's proper. You can keep your bad in visitor's room." "Proper? Coming in here is not even proper. So show me his room. It will be more fun. What best treatment can we have if we don't stay in his room. Common." Leonard urged and Daniella hesitated for a while before accepting. Daniella led Leonard to Desmond's room, and he dropped his bag beside the king-sized bed. "Make yourself at home," Daniella said with a sly smile. Leonard chuckled, gazing around the opulent space. "This is quite a setup Desmond's got here." Daniella shrugged. "He has a good taste. Besides, He's rich. What do you expect?" As Alex began to unpack, Daniella couldn't help but feel a thrill of excitement. Being in Desmond's room with Leonard felt rebellious, liberating. Le
When she got to her wardrobe, she pick her tight, red dress Desmond forbade her to wear. She had kept it there, waiting for the right time to wear it. And today seemed to be the day she had been waiting for. Now she will be wearing it for her boyfriend. The first man to ever see her wear this dress was now going to be her boyfriend and not the man she was about to get married to. She undress out of her clothes and slip into the dress, observing herself in the mirror all the while. And just like she imagined, she look damn good in the dress. The dress was hugging her great curves perfectly, and it shows off a generous amount of her sexy irresistible cleavage. It compliments her legs nicely, too, with the slit in the side showing off part of her tanned thigh. She spent more time in the mirror, fixing her hair up some and making sure her makeup looked pretty. Not like it even matters. Leonard will probably be ruining it later tonight after dinner. She looked at herself in the mirror
"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
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 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.
(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
"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
"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
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
"She never talk about wedding. Why did she suddenly bring it up and even wants it urgently?" Desmond asked himself when Daniella left. His mind was telling him she was up to something but he couldn't tell her exact motive. They were together because of his family and her pregnancy, and things have never been same ever since Anabel left.Though he believed with time, he will start loving Daniella, but her recent character was not something he can just ignore. She blocked her sister and his mother in his phone. And why would she talking about wedding when the coast was not clear enough. He was loosing contracts, coupled with the fact that his mother was sick. ...At night when they got ready for bed, Desmond couldn't help but feel a sense of frustration. He had been looking forward to a romantic evening with Daniella, but now it seemed like that was not going to happen.As they lay in bed, Desmond reached out to Daniella, hoping to rekindle the spark that had been missing that evenin
"Are we going home now?" Daniella said to Desmond when she approached him."Home? When I've not spoken with my mother?" Desmond replied."I thought you are angry at them." She said, looking up at him."I may be angry but that doesn't mean I will leave without talking with my mom.""But she's not awake.""I know. I will wait till he wakes up." Daniella left, leaving Desmond in the hospital. Desmond waited till evening but she didn't wake up. He gave Bella some cash and credited her account."When mother wakes up, tell her that I came. Take good care of her." Desmond said before leaving....Desmond walked into the room and dropped the car key onto the counter, then proceed to remove his cloths. As he reached for the hem of his shirt, he heard Daniella's voice behind him."So honey, when are we going to fix our wedding. You know, it's the only thing remaining for us to be officially together." "Wedding?" Desmond asked and turned to her. "How will you be taking about wedding when my
