A throat clearing interrupted the steamy kiss between the two new couples. Vera pulled away immediately, creating distance between the two of them while daring not look her mother in the eye. She couldn't believe she was so careless to allow a man to kiss her in her mother's house.Joahkim was no better, but rather than embarrassment, he was scared. scared that he might have landed Vera in trouble after seeing the furious look on the lady's face." What's the meaning of this Young lady?" Mrs Stella's furious voice jolted Vera from her seat.Nobody said anything, the two had their heads bowed down.Mrs Stella who saw this smiled Inwardly. They were so adorable when flustered. She would enjoy teasing them for a while." Am talking to you young Lady. What the hell is the meaning of this?" This time, her voice was Stern and high." I- I .." Vera cursed Inwardly. She didn't seem to find any words to save herself from the disaster she plunged herself in." Cat got your tongue?" Mrs Stella m
" I have done my research on her. You know our ways as business men. You are her boyfriend so that's why I thought of contacting you to help me with something that's not clear on my part." Jason added, observing Timothy closely.Smiling faintly, Timothy taunted," Your research isn't that comprehensive afterall." There was a hint of mockery in his voice.For someone proud like Jason, wasn't his detective team lacking in skills." This isn't my turf. Ofcourse it would be hard for me to dig some Information especially if it is hidden intentionally." Jason replied calmly. Not a hint of anger showing on his handsome face." What kind of help do you need? I'll do my best to help you." Timothy agreed to offers helping hand to his future cousin in law." But before that, I want to know what plans you and your family have on my girlfriend." He demanded protectively.They might be family but that did not mean that their intentions are pure. Blood relations aren't enough to guarantee familial lo
To say that Timothy's words surprised Jason would be quite an understatement. He was astounded. He couldn't fathom how a person could be as wicked as to plot a marriage to swindle someone out of their money. But again, maybe that's all they were after.The conversation stretched for an hour. Plans were made, new collaborations discussed and promises given.Timothy Left the secrets hotel and drove straight to Mira's house.They had planned to have breakfast together, he couldn't keep her waiting.Mira was in the middle of her dream when she saw something familiar, or should we say somewhere familiar.The White coloured gates sorrounded by flowers was something she last saw before her rebirth.She saw herself walking to the gates again.She was about to push open the door when a voice stopped her." We meet again my daughter." A woman, as beautiful as a garden of roses spoke.Mira looked at her, confusion painted on her face." Do I know you?" Honestly,she could feel that pulling connec
Old Mrs Antonio arrived at country B's international airport with a young lady in tow.Her face was all smiley as she imagined seeing her only granddaughter. But before anything, she had to visit her daughter and render her apologies for not coming to her sooner.She couldn't believe that her ever rebellious but lovely daughter was no more." Granny, you are walking too fast." The lady behind her complained. She was young with blonde hair in her mind twenties." You are just lazy Maria." Old Madam Antonio, Jason's grandmother, countered." You just want to go home and sneak to see your granddaughter, admit it." Maria replied hastening in her steps while dragging the suitcases." I swear I'll chop off your mouth if you dare say anything to Jason." The old Madam threatened only to have the young lady smile at her." Since you promised me to send me to college while I work,I wouldn't open my mouth." She replied, making a zipping gesture with her fingers.Maria arrived at the Antonio fam
The day was well spend for the two love birds.Timothy had been contemplating whether to tell Mira about her new family. Although he promised not to reveal anything, atleast not yet, he wanted to test and see her reaction to the possibility of having a new family.They were lying in bed,with Mira trapped be Tim's strong arms as she rested her head on his chest." Honey." He started and received a hum from Mira indicating that she was listening." Have you ever thought of your mother's family? I mean like do you know where they are or who could they be?" Timothy approached the topic carefully." My mother's family? Why? do you know something about them?" Mira asked, sitting up by supporting her body weight with her elbows." No." Timothy lied." I don't know the identity of my mother. I only know that she didn't have a family in town." Mira replied. Honestly, her mother rarely talked about her maiden family.All she ever told her was that she wasn't from country A, nothing less, nothin
" I don't care about such things." Timothy declared." Gross or not, I don't care milady. " he added." Enough with your sweet words so early in the morning." Mira said shyly." Get ready, breakfast is already prepared." Mira announced and tried escaping from the room. She was afraid that she might suffer from diabetes if he continued spouting such cheesy and sweet words. She didn't trust her heart to handle all that sweetness.Before she could escape, Timothy caged her in his arms." Are you practicing how to be a dutiful wife?" He questioned, his voice husky making it sound seductive." What are you saying?" Mira questioned but her red tomato face couldn't be hidden. She was embarrassed by his question.She didn't think about being a dutiful wife when she prepared everything for him, she just wanted to do something for him, as his woman." Confess baby. Are you hinting that i should hurry up and confess?" Timothy said, biting her earlobes slightly, teasing her." What nonsense are yo
" After casting our votes, the board members under the majority votes have chosen Miss Mira Jones as the next CEO and chairman of the Jones company." Mr Greene announced.A loud smacking voice interrupted the silence in the room." I refuse to accept the results." Mr Jones, Mira's father, declared.He was fuming, glaring daggers at Mira who gave out a triumphant smile." The voting was clear and transparent. The board has made its decision regarding this matter. You have been deemed unworthy leading the company,who do you think you are to oppose the decision of the board members?" Timothy questioned, his eyes narrowed dangerously." Learn to respect your elders young man." Mr Jones countered. " Do you think I don't know you are in cahoots with that wicked slut! All you wanna do is rob me off my company!" Mr Jones puked profanities infront of the members, greatly shocking them.How could a man openly abuse his own flesh and blood? That was utterly unbelievable. It was unheard of." Min
Mira drove her car straight to a convenient store. Cooking was something she learnt from her mother. She would sit and watch as her mother prepared variety of dishes for the family. She would bug her mother to teach her how to cook and her mother didn't disappoint her.At the age of twelve years, she was able to make her way around the kitchen with ease.It was something she prided herself with.Parking the car, she made her way to the store. She had in mind trying a new recipe she saw online. Today, she would be preparing an African cuisine. Spiced rice and veggies, served with peppered potatoes.She would also prepare braised pork ribs and half cooked french fries for salads.Mira busied herself shopping the necessary ingredients and did not notice the two women who were following her sneakily pretending to shop too." Grandma, I think this is a bad idea. We just turned to be some creepy stalkers." Maria murmured to the old lady." Shut up! did you suggest any other better solution.
