“Daidi, are you spying on the stranger from yesterday?” I hurriedly close the curtains like a little boy caught spying on his crush. I had been peeping through the

curtains to see if I could catch a glimpse of Cara, I was wondering whether she had left for work.

“What? No,not at all. Just adjusting the curtains.” I say awkwardly shifting the curtains and dusting imaginary dirt off the curtains.

“But you were peeping through the window.” She says looking confused.

I try my best to keep on a straight face even though her facial expression isn’t letting me successfully do that.

“Our ethics teacher says it's bad to lie.” She crosses her arms over her chest and gives me a look that seems to say spill it!

“Daddy’s not lying. Now, go get your school bag so daddy can drop you off.” I refuse to give in till the end.

“My hair, Daidi?” I rejoice inwardly for the change in subject.

“What about your hair Princess?” “I want a different hairstyle.”

    LIAM"Mum, did you have to?" "Did I have to do what?""You know exactly what I'm talking about.""Liam I know you. The last time you spoke about Cara, you had resentment written all over you. I'm trying to decipher what I witnessed not too long. A few weeks back when I raised the issue of you seeing someone for your sake and that of Laura you flared up saying you don't need any woman in your life right now and then I walk in to find you in a comprising position with Cara. I hope you don't intend to make her your go-to woman for pleasure?" mother blares angrily."Compromising position? Mother, what's your definition of compromise?""You sniffing her neck and asking her how she feels about you is my definition of compromising!""I wasn't sniffing her neck and how much did you hear?""Well, I heard that part and her response.

    CARAThank God it's Friday! Four days of doing nothing other than scanning through a pile of records and files. Liam meant it when he said he wasn't going to let me do any strenuous activities that involved me using my hand. Even down to cooking!He requested that the company's chef send me breakfast, lunch and dinner. When it comes to Liam, you cannot but succumb. One thing I'm extremely grateful for is that my office isn't built in such a way that I'm facing him or vice versa. It's at the end and corner of the room.The longest he has stayed in his office this week so far is three hours. Yes, I kept track. It was from one interview or meeting to another.Two days ago, he had an interview regarding him making it to Forbes under 30. I love the fact that Liam doesn't act the typical cliché billionaire role. I mean the women, nightstands, spiteful boss staff relationship.I love how he relates with Veronica. Sometimes I get jealous. I've been thinking, is he ever going to ask me why I

I’m not so comfortable.”“With how tight the security of the estate is, a fly can't pass by without being noticed. You and I both know that.

    CARAImmediately Mrs Chloe opens the door, I hug her and begin to cry.“Oh, child,” she says hugging me tightly.I needed it. This week has been very overwhelming for me.“Come in. Let me make a cup of iced tea for you,” she says carrying my bag inside.I can't remember the last time I was here but I know a lot had changed. Almost every part of the house had a picture of her, her husband and her son Peter I think. Their only child. He left Dublin long before I entered college. We used to be childhood friends and we both went to the same play school and high school.Not sure if I'll be able to recognise him anymore but the picture of him all grown hung up beside the plant gives me a clear view ofhim. I was told he went to a very expensive British boarding school. People say his father comes from a wealthy lineage but they don't act like it. Very humble couples.Someone clearing their throat brought me out of my sea of thoughts. “Peter?”“Cara Rufus?”“It’s Cara Bloom now. I took m

Especially with the grade, I finished with. It's not like they won't eventually find out but till then, I would like to walk around town with my head held high.""It can't be that bad and even if it is, I can help you get a job that comes alongside accommodation in Birmingham that's if you are willing to move to the Uk.”“I’ll keep that in mind.” “Mrs Johnson?”I raise my eyebrow knowing where this is heading. “Yeah?

    I didn't know we were going to stay this long. I feel for Cara with those killer inches she has on. It's not like she was standing all through the meeting. Even at that, I still feel for her because distributing and then clearing up documents containing different ideas now and then on that heel is something. We intend to expand the company hence our never-ending meetings. Five solid hours of pitching, suggestions, contemplations and many more.A text from father made me end the meeting abruptly. He's finally back and currently waiting for me in the office.“Son,” he says his arms wide open.I hug him and he gives me a path on my back. My dad and I are close buddies. He tells me virtually everything. Surprisingly, I had no idea he was coming in today.“How was your trip dad?” “Good.”“How are you holding up?”“Great dad. The business has been running smoothly as always.” “Very good son. Veronica tells me you have a new assistant?” “Yes. She's..” the door opens revealing Cara Bloom. A

Heaven knows the lies he fed his son after I left to get the pastry.I clear up my desk and head home.A black hilux suddenly appears in front of my car just as I'm about to drive out. Even if it's late, the multiple street light at every corner and the light from my headlight should tell whoever this is that he is in my way. I honk twice and still no movement. Is this some serial killer kind of move? Wait this can be a ploy set by Liam's father to terminate me. There's no way I can move back because it's a cloggedspace. Am I going to waste away like this? Sweet Lord, I haven't achieved anything. I can't end like this.The door to the hilux opens revealing Liam's dad.

What happened to hers that she had to eat yours?”“She ate hers and mine as well.”“Laura if I understand what you are saying, you mean she ate hers and still ate yours despite giving her from yours?”“Yes mom.”“That I won’t tolerate. Go get her for me.”“Yes mom.”Sarah strolls into the room with guilt written all over her face. “Why did you eat your sister's chocolate?”“I'm sorry mom.”“You haven't answered my question. Why did you eat your sister's chocolate?”“I'm sorry Laura, I thought you didn't want it anymore.”“That's a lie. You know that's her favourite chocolate. She was kind enough to give you from it yet you went ahead to eat the remaining. For that, you are grounded. That's not being contented.

Delon, I know why my father merged with your company. It’s no secret anymore.”“What are you talking about?”“Delon, quit the pretence.

    I’m boiling with so much rage that I can explode any moment from now. Why would she do this to me a second time. I get that she left because of her mum the first time but now? Leaving me without any tangible explanation. What if I didn’t decide to surprise her by coming in earlier? I would come home to an empty apartment with no clue as to what happened. To think that Laura was becoming fond of her. I wish I followed my instincts. What sort of hold does this girl have over me?“She’s gone.” I say slamming the door behind me.“Mother she’s gone again.” I say this time around bursting into tears as I run into my mother’s arms. “It’s okay baby. It’s okay.”“It’s not mom, she’s gone.”“Put yourself together. You are a man.”“How dare you say such a thing like that to him? Knowing fully well what’s on ground.

    I begin to pack my things with the little strength I have left. I need a cab so badly and it’s really late. I call Veronica to help me send one in. While I’m waiting for my cab, I carry out my stuff to the passage. I didn’t have time to pack a lot but I made sure to pack very necessary ones. I see a car coming towards my building but the flash light is so full and almost blinding. Liam? He’s not supposed to be in town until tomorrow. Oh my God, can I just disappear? “ My love. I couldn’t wait till tomorrow. Had to come in with my friends private jet because there was no available flight.” He says running to hug me.“Liam,”“Is everything okay? You look like you saw a ghost. Aren’t you happy that I’m back earlier?” His eyes eventually falls on my things sitting by the corner of the passage.“What’s happening? Are you going for a sleepover?”I try to respond but no words leave my mouth. “Talk to me. You are making me scared. Did someone break into the house?” He says opening the doo

    Liam has been really busy lately. Laura and I have been keeping each other busy. He said they are working on expanding the company to other countries. I love how he calls me every time he has a moment to himself. I'm getting used to seeing my name and face all over different blogs. Of course, I've been looking. One of the things I want to stop doing so badly. Thank God I have a clean slate and no skeleton to hide.It's a Wednesday evening for heaven’s sake and Laura is spending the week with Flora’s parents. Who could be knocking on my door? Besides, Liam wouldn't be back until tomorrow.What does Liam’s father want from me this time around? I question as I see him through the eye hole. I hesitate before opening the door. “Good day sir.” He ushers himself inside before I even ask him in. “I'll just go straight to point.”As you always do.

    “Are you excited for our girl’s night with grandma?”“Yes.” Laura says.I was so happy when Liam suggested I go with Laura to her friend’s birthday party last week. The stares were a bit disturbing but the height was when one of the mother’s walked up to me saying I’ll never be able to take Flora’s place no matter how hard I tried. After putting her in her place, I sat down and had a long and deep thinking. I don’t have any intentions of taking Flora’s place in either Laura or Liam’s life.I made a friend who over head everything the mean lady said to me. She told me not to listen to her and that she was Flora’s very good friend. Which made me realise why she would say such a thing to me. We were supposed to have our girls weekend last week but Mrs Johnson had to travel for a job so we moved it to this week. Unfortunately Liam had a last minute meeting holding in Croatia.“Cara.

Blame it on my rush of adrenaline. I’ll see you in the morning.”“See you soon baby.”I am so happy.

I pick up my bathrobe and stroll towards where my phone is laying. It was a picture of me and Cara from yesterday on a blog with the caption ‘Billionaire’s college sweetheart back in town and caught seen in his arms.’ Most of the messages coming in were screenshots from the blog asking me if this is true. Cara was looking so dashing in the sexy green dress she was wearing. It wasn’t revealing yet something about about the dress was screaming hot.

The see-through beaded heels is gorgeous. Liam handed it over to me earlier today with a few other items I’m yet to know the content. He suggested I wear the heels tonight. I like how he mentioned he wasn’t insisting I wear it and that I can always go with any other option. “Are you okay?”“Yes, yes I am.” I say flushed.“Thought I lost you there.”“You look clean as always and very handsome.”He places his hand on his chest feigning shock and then bows in appreciation.“For a complement you get every second, everyday,
