"What are those boys doing?" Adalyn asked from behind, trying to climb up to the window in order to see what was going on outside. Talisa only ignored her as she focused solely on her object of attraction. It was few days to she and Adalyn's Twelfth birthday and the boys had told them they had a surprise for both of them. She was already excited at the thought of them giving her a surprise birthday present. Though, their previous birthdays had always been special with them but she had the feeling this one wouldn't be one she'll forget in a while. She and Adalyn were born on the same day and in the same hospital which made their Moms develop a friendly relationship. The women had been excited to see someone else give birth at the same time as they did and they had decided to be friends and even raised their kids together. So Talisa and Adalyn were more like Sisters than Best friends because of the way they were raised. The boys were all shirtless in the garden, watering the various
"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, our dearest little troublemakers. Happy birthday to you!" Talisa and Adalyn woke up to the loud cheers of their families. Both girls had slept together the night before, which had made it easier for the family to enter the room and sang for them. They were at first confused at what was going on because they were still sleepy."Uhn?" Talisa literally had an invisible question mark over her head because everything became clear to her. Her parents, siblings, Adalyn's parents, the boys...she was quick to notice Regan wasn't present which made her brows knit in a frown. Why wasn't he present? Her eyes moved to the household servants who were all standing in front of her with an huge cake and she slightly panicked but it left as quick as it came because she shook Adalyn next. The girl was a sleepyhead and might not even wake up even if the world was ending. But somehow, shaking Adalyn made her awake and she immediately crawled off her bed
School had just ended for the day and Talisa was packing her stuffs in order to go home when Adalyn appeared in front of her. Now both of them were in the same class but the teachers wouldn't allow them sit together because they were playful."Liz, let's go to your house together" She suggested which made Talisa gave her a side eye. She had been avoiding this best friend of hers which was why she didn't want to go to her house but Adalyn just had to decide to come to hers. "Why?" She asked but Adalyn only shrugged "I don't need a reason to go to my house, do I?" Talisa only sighed in defeat. She had no reason to stop Adalyn from coming to her house indeed. She grabbed her bag and began walking out while Adalyn hopped behind her seeming excited for whatever Talisa didn't know about. When they got to the Wauter's home, only Sage and Zale were home and as usual arguing over the remote control."You should go play football like boys your age and stop dragging the remote with me" Sage
It wasn't the first time Talisa would come to Regan's house but she still couldn't get used to the majestic building and it surroundings."Wow! this is so beautiful" Sage took the words out of her mouth. The house was more than beautiful but she had no other words to describe it. "Welcome" Madam Keyvan was first to welcome them as she was standing by the door of the house, seeming to be instructing the servants on what to do. "It's our pleasure to be here" Talisa's Mom replied her and both women shared embraces."No not at all. We all are family" Madam Keyvan says then her eyes met with Talisa's then she beamed."Aren't you my Regan's Dolcezza? No wonder he calls you that, you are growing up into being a sweetheart" It had been two years since she had met his mother, so, her greeting was understandable."It's a pleasure to meet you too, Ma'am" She made curtsy to the woman. "Don't let me keep you, go on in" And they entered the house which had been skillfully decorated."Wow!" Her s
Ever since Regan had found out about her feelings for him, he had stop having skinship with her. She missed his hugs and kisses but she understood why he wasn't giving her any. It would be weird if he continued to treat her same way when he clearly knew she didn't feel same way. Two years went by in a blink and her feelings didn't diminish but instead got deeper. She was fifteen now and she thinks she was now grown up enough for him to consider dating her, which was why she was going to take another step towards him. She was getting ready to leave for Adalyn's home when her phone rang. She glanced at it and saw it was her best friend who was calling so she picked it. "Liz are you almost here?" She could hear the worry in Adalyn's voice which made her confused as to what was bothering her. "Why are you asking? What happened?" She could hear Adalyn sigh before replying her "Reggie is not feeling well so I'm about to go check on him" Talisa immediately say up from her dressing tabl
They all thought they were hearing things or that he was joking, but looking at Regan's expression, they knew he was serious. The guy was so random that literally nothing he does could surprise them anymore but this just took the cake."You asked her out?" Sebastian asked, disbelief filling his tone. Regan nodded "Yes, is there something wrong with that?" "Absolutely not! this is the best news of the year" Adalyn was quick to cheer. It was a good news and she was happy for her friend. "But she's only fifteen, she's still young an-" "The age Carlos lost his virginity" Tristan cut off Matthew's daddy talk.Carlos mouth was agape as he stared at his friend "What has my virginity got to do with the matter at hand?" How did he suddenly got dragged in. "Well, you are the only one who lost his virginity at fifteen, so there was no one else to use as example" Tristan shrugged. "I trust you'll treat her better than anyone else could which is why I'm not going to say anything" Sebastian c
Over the years, Talisa had grown to be more confident of herself, especially since she became Regan's girlfriend. He would never fail to tell her how beautiful or talented or good she was in every aspect and since she only needed his opinion to be whatever she wanted to be, she became confident in herself. Walking through the gates of Birmingham University, Alabama. She didn't cower despite the several gazes she was being thrown, instead she walked in with her heads high and her best friend right beside her. Though, she had never entered Regan's school before, she somehow knew the location to his department because he had always sang it to her, hoping one day she'll visit him but she never did. She currently was rejecting she never did because it's because of her neglect that several girls felt they could have him. "Should we call him and tell him we are here?" Adalyn suggested because she wasn't sure it would be easy to find him. A university wasn't like their high school where you
"Liz, I think I like Carl" Adalyn had said to Talisa one day when they were both laying on Talisa's bed. They were nineteen at that time and Freshers in college while the boys were in their final year."Uhn?" The latter was speechless after hearing what her friend had just said. It was something she never expected, considering how Carlos was and the fact that they both argues all the time."Since how long have you noticed?" "I don't know but I might have start developing feelings for him for over two years now. You remember the first time we came here because of Daphne?" She paused, making sure her friend understood what she was talking about.Talisa nodded "Oh that day you said he came to interfere between you and Thomas?""Exactly, I think the moment he called me his sister, I decided I didn't want to be his sister anymore" She explained making Talisa sigh."We liking our suppose brothers is so sisterly of us, don't you think?" Talisa joked but Adalyn rolled her eyes."Please I'm b
Rebirth of the scorned wife Chapter 57 Adalyn immediately turned to her boyfriend and went to sit beside him the moment she recalled she had unknowingly ignored him."You are not angry, right?" She asked, battering her lashes at him pitifully. Since Carlos couldn't stay angry at her, he sighed helplessly and replied "I'm not" Tristan rolled his eyes at him "You both aren't even married yet but I can guess you'll be a henpecked husband when that time comes" "And what's wrong with being an henpecked husband?" Carlos retorted."Good question. Our men should listen to us as we are always right and they shouldn't even pick fights with us, isn't that right, honey?" Talisa says then glanced at Regan who immediately nodded in agreement with her. "We all know Regan is pussywhipped so he probably won't disagree" Sebastian replied with a sneer, Regan glared at him."You all should stop arguing on someone's engagement party. We understand you guys are in an happy relationship but would you
Tiana sat at her dressing table as she was being made up for her engagement party. There were several stylists in her room and even make up artists. Her father really went out of his way for the party."It's all done" The make up artist said as she took a good look at Tiana."Oh my! who is this beauty?" She exclaimed and that made Tiana smiled. She was satisfied with her looks. She stood up then walked to were the dress options were. There were different dresses laid in front of her and she was having an hard time deciding which to pick as they were all very pretty. "It's so hard to pick one" She says as her eyes skimmed through the dresses. Why would they give her so many beautiful options, it was damn hard to pick one! Finally, her eyes managed to stay on one and she decided to pick it. "Miss Accardi surely have eyes for good stuffs. Your choice is literally the best" One of the stylists praised her as they helped her put on the dress. The dress was a cream coloured silky dress
It wasn't even up to an hour yet, when Regan heard a 'beep' sound which indicated there was a message from his phone. He clicked on it and saw the information Xander had sent to him. His lips curled up in an evil smile when he realised who was playing with him. He glanced at Alonzo who had been quietly watching him, then stretched out his phone so he could also take a look at the message also. "Send the details to Carlos, tell him to take care of it" "Okay, Boss" Alonzo then walked out of the office to carry out his order. Meanwhile, Regan continued his work because he had lots to do. Alonzo returned shortly, telling him he had carried out the order. Regan nodded in understanding before continuing his work. It was evening time and Regan was still working. The door of his door opened and Alonzo entered with another stack of files which he need to go through. Regan glared at the files as if they would disappear if he does that, then he sighed heavily."Where are these ones coming
Sebastian rested his hand under his chin as he looked out of the car window. The meeting between their parents had been successful and the engagement date was just in three days. Their parents gave the excuse that both of them had delayed the engagement for long so it couldn't be postponed further. Like it was his fault, wasn't Tiana the one who ran away?"Bro, stop being gloomy and cheer up" He heard the annoying voice of his younger brother which made him glare at the latter. "I'm not gloomy" Their parents had taken a different car for their supposed privacy while Sebastian was stuck with his annoying brother in this car. Angelo finally put down his phone then fully faced his brother "You can't get out of this marriage, hope you know that? It's even worst now that the girl is interested in you" "I know. One can only get out of an arranged marriage in the Mafia through death" He interjected. Silently praying for his brother to keep quiet. The reason he was thinking was because o
Tiana had gotten dressed in a gorgeous Purple dress which hug her figure in all the right places. Her Fiancé and his family were coming over that night for their union. She was applying makeup to her face when she heard a knock on the door to her room."Who is it?" She asked and the door slightly opened, revealing her older brother, Roberto who was peeking his head inside. She smiled when she saw he was the one."You should come in. Why are you peeking inside like a thief?" Roberto chuckled as he opened the door, wider enough for him to pass through. "Little sis seems more accommodating than usual, is it because you are now the personal assistant to the president of a company?" He says as he walked towards her then plopped his bottom on one of the chair in her room. Roberto had same features as Tiana, so, it wasn't hard to know they were siblings. Only that his features were more pronounced and manly. Tiana scoffed then continued applying her make up "I'm only accomodating becaus
Regan looked into her determined eyes with his scorching ones and suddenly, he bursted into laughter. His deep throaty laughter did something in her stomach and her eyes widened as she wasn't expecting him to laugh at all. The guy she had loved all her life was weird, like really weird and now she was actually seeing the side of him he had never allowed her to see in the past. "Bambina, why are you being so serious, hmm? You came barging into my house and doing all sort of things and now you are threatening me?" He then started moving and now she was the one trapped between him. Talisa didn't listen to anything else he had said after she heard him call her 'Bambina'. 'Doesn't that mean I'm on the lover stage?' 'If he calls me that then it means we are fine, right?' She wondered and Regan actually noticed her distracted look. He sighed before releasing her and started walking away. The moment Regan began walking away, she immediately came back to her senses and held him back. "Do
Adalyn heard what her friend had said and she glared at her."What do you mean by me spending company money on shopping? Women like me shouldn't appear in an event, looking out of place" "I sincerely pity Carlos for his future appears bleak at this moment" Talisa replied as she stood up in order to go continue her work. Adalyn only stuck out her tongue as she uttered "He isn't complaining" "When you go back home, remember to text me when the engagement party would be so I can clear my schedule" Talisa ignored her friend to reply to Tiana."No problem" *** It was some minutes past nine in the evening. Tiana had left earlier because she went home to prepare for her journey which was going to happen the next day. Adalyn had also went home when it was the usual time for everyone to finish work for the day.Talisa turned off the light in her office as she walked out. The floor she was was quiet like there was no living being in it but she could see the lights in some office on, which
It's been two weeks since FW's exhibition and the company's status has risen higher as it was everywhere on news and Magazines that even big companies were seeking to collaborate with them. Another news that had spread like wildfire was the the fact that the ex vice president of FW, who was also the ex husband of the President of FW had been cheating on her with someone he had introduced to her as his cousin.The public had sympathize with her and immediately Talisa had presented the divorce papers and now she has been single for the past two weeks.The company had became busy than ever and no one even complained when Talisa brought in a new Vice president, who apparently was a woman this time.

Two on each couch.Elina had came to visit Talisa today and the other two girls had left their offic
*Warning: This scene might be uncomfortable for some people, so you are free to skip*Steve opened his eyes, albeit painfully,. and checked his surroundings. Even with his eyes opened, it was no different from when it was closed as the place he was was utterly dark. He could hear the continuous tapping of something, like water was dropping and that was what made him realise he was standing inside water. He froze then tried to move his body, only to notice it had been tied to a pole-like structure. He grunted as he moved around relentlessly.Where the hell was he? "You are finally awake" He heard voice which sounded like the angels from hell were beckoning him to come. He flinched."Who are you? Why are you keeping me here?!" He bellowed as he struggled to get freed from whatever was typing him down but he only heard the clanking of metals around him.He could hear footsteps advancing towards him, then suddenly it stopped and blinding light shone. He was finally able to see where he
