How I wish every day can be like this in the office. Just as promised, Liam acted like a perfect gentleman all day. That one time he smiled at me today when I passed a file gave me butterflies in my stomach. Can I ever love another? I pray I do because so long as his father is in the picture, I doubt anything can happen between us.For some very bizarre reason, Liam asked that I accompany him to pick Laura up from school today. When we arrived at her school, I couldn't help but notice I was getting strange looks from some parents. We picked Laura up and headed back to work.“ been meaning to ask you something for a while now.” “What is it, Veronica?”“Are you in any way related to the boss?” “ No. Why?”“How you got this job, the apartment, the office space and there was this time some staff were gossiping about how they suspect you are the boss having an intimate relationship because they saw you enter his car a couple of times. I had to shush them up. Not sure what they'll say if

“What colour is the sky¡Ay, mi amor! ¡Ay, mi amor! You tell me that it's red¡Ay, mi amor! ¡Ay, mi amor! Where should I put my shoes¡Ay, mi amor! ¡Ay, mi amor! You say put them on your head¡Ay, mi amor! ¡Ay, mi amor!”We both sing along while dancing in a merry-go-round motion. She let go of my hand and starts dancing like a ballerina. Her feet are positioned like that of an expert. I'm more than grateful that I settled for a wand instead of gummy bears.More than halfway into the movie, Laura starts hiccuping.“Laura dear, can you lead me to the kitchen? I want to get water for you.“Daidi says mummy will not be happy if another woman enters her kitchen.”Dumbfounded is an understatement for what I am right now. “Does this mean only mummy enters the kitchen?”“And grandma. I can too.”“Oh, then please get yourself a cup of water sweetheart. You are hiccuping.”I hear a glass-shattering noise from what I assume to be the kitchen. I jog in the direction as fast as I can and see

“Princess?”“Yes?” she says coming out from under her bed. “Daddy's here.”“Can I sleep with you?”“Yes, you can princess. Can you tell daddy why you climbed the sink to carry the jug?”“I'm sorry. I wanted to pour some water for miss Cara from the adult’s jug.”“Oh, baby. Come here. I'm sorry I shouted at you.”Once I put her to sleep, I stroll to the bathroom and dial Rosa’s number.“What's up Mr lover boy? You suddenly remember you have a friend right?”“Please I need the contact of the therapist you asked I see when Fiona passed.”“Finally. Are you okay though?”“I am a mess Rosa, a big one. After the stunt I pulled, Cara’s going to hate me forever.”“What did you do?”“I hinted that she sees herself out of my house after she poured her heart out to me.”“Liam!!! That's a very terrible thing to do. I'm not even happy with you at all. Why would you do that?”“I wasn't thinking, It just said it. I was shocked. I just uttered the first thing that came to my head.

It’s a beautiful morning, with the sun high up in the sky . I can hear the distant chirping of birds as I stare out from the taxi. We get to my destination and i highlight. I enter the building and find everyone in the office in their best mood as usual beaming with happiness. I woke up late today due to my constant tossing trying to find sleep. I have not seen people so happy to work like the workers at Johnson’s Ace. I am determined to make the best out of today despite how weird and gloomy my night was . I enter the building dreading being in the same space with Liam after yesterday's humiliation, I see Veronica smiling from ear to ear. “Guess what?”“Mr Johnson has moved you to Legal. I'm so happy for you. This simply means a higher pay.”“I fake a smile knowing exactly why I was moved.”“You don’t look too happy about it.” “I am. It came as a shock so I’m still trying to process it. I’m so glad.”“Oh ok. Once you’ve gathered your things let me know so I can show you your spa

It is a few minutes past 7:30 pm and we are preparing to go to bed. We sleep pretty early because we wake up so early too. I and Laura have been at home since she got back from school. We had a nice daddy-and-daughter time and I enjoyed every bit of it. As usual. Since we both lost her mom, I have worked extra hard to distract myself from all the pain of losing my beautiful wife. So I am grateful for and excited about every opportunity I get to spend time with my daughter. I give her a hot shower, get her dressed in her pyjamas and lay my little princess to sleep. Just as I’m about to step out of her room, I hear her cute tiny little voice say “Daida please can you read me a bedtime story and can I get a goodnight kiss too?” “Certainly daddy’s baby girl” I respond. I walk up to her, sit by her bedside and hold her tiny hand as I start my fairytale story. “ Once upon a time in a city far far away there was a very beautiful princess who lived with her mom in a castle. One day she saw

"I can't believe we work in the same building and I haven't seen you in eight days. You totally forgot about me.""You've been counting. I didn't forget about you, Veronica. I've been so busy.""I understand. It's boring up there. The boss's new assistant has zero vibes. I had to look for an excuse to come down here. Laura can't seem to keep your name off her mouth and the boss doesn't like that. This brings me down to my question. Are you sure nothing happened between you and Mr Liam?""Shhhh someone might hear you." I peep around to be sure no one is paying attention to us."I'm sorry. I just really needed to ask.""Nothing happened. What made or makes you think so?""I know this might sound cliche but he hasn't been the same since you moved down here. Something's off. He's always deep in thought and the boss I know is never distracted. It is quite shocking that he missed a business meeting yesterday after reminding him an hour earlier.""What makes you think I'm the reason behind a

Friday came faster than I expected and I couldn't be more happier. A long weekend away from Liam is exactly what I need.I cross check my bag to make sure everything I need for the weekend is already in there. I add some extra clothes just incase I happen to spend the week there. If Veronica suggests I stay for a while, I'll gladly accept the offer but if she doesn't, I'll just go to work from her place on Monday. What's Veronica's definition of sexy because if she's referring to cleavage showing, thigh high slits, then I'll be disappointing her. I don't have any of those. Even if I did, I wouldn't wear such clothes around her brother. I don't want to come off as desperate or thirsty. I scan my wardrobe for my definition of sexy. My eyes lands on an orange alter-neck silk body hugging knee length dress. I grab a simple necklace and a black retro hoop earring designed from sleek wood. I think I've packed enough because the bag is already protruding and I don't want to make use of my b

“I rarely see her. I barely have enough time to drop by at the legal department. She doesn’t even drive her car out anymore. So you can’t know if she’s in or not. I want to see her, Laura wants to see her but she’s not been in for a few days now yet she shows up at work. So I decided to find out where she has been staying this past day, it happens she packed a small bag and went home with Veronica my assistant. “How does that make you feel?”“How does that make me feel? Angry of course!”“Why is that?”“She has known this girl for like what a month?”“Do you consider your assistant a threat?”“I am just saying”“If you consider her a threat to Cara doesn’t this mean she can be a threat to the company?”“I have done multiple background checks on each of my staff. It will be foolish of anyone to constitute any disturbing trait to the company and Veronica has worked for me for a while now so I trust her.” “So why are you worried?”Silence engulfs the room. “You don't have to give me

“Mom, Sarah ate my chocolate even after I gave her a piece from mine.”“I also got one for her. 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.

“Good day Delon.” “How are you Liam. You are not supposed to come get Laura until Sunday.”“That’s not why I’m here.”“What’s brings you here as your favourite person has gone out to see a friend.”“How’s your wife Georgia?” “She’s fine. It’s unlike you to visit me so early in the morning on a weekday. Is everything okay? How are your parents.”His pretence disgusts me.“They are both doing well. Delon, I know why my father merged with your company. It’s no secret anymore.”“What are you talking about?”“Delon, quit the pretence. Mother overheard your conversation between you and my father concerning me and Cara’s relationship.”“I don’t have the slightest clue to what you are taking about.I massage my temple and do a quick inhale and exhale. A habit of mine when I’m extremely stressed. “If this is about that girl Liam, I suggest you go back home.”“She has a name. It’s Cara. Delon please I am in love with Cara.”“I don’t care.

“ This is the same spot I left you when I was going to work thus morning. Did you move an inch at all?”“How was your day?” I reply completely exhausted from wailing. “It was good. I need to tell you something Cara.”“What’s it?”“Liam came here to look for you three nights ago when you were fast asleep.”“And what did you tell him?”“That you weren’t here.”“I’m sorry you had to lie on my behalf.”“Cara, you can’t keep doing this to yourself. Crying yourself to sleep, skipping meals and soaking yourself in a pool of misery. That’s not going to solve anything.”“If you want me to leave just say it. I’m sorry for encroaching on your space.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
