Kenzie remembered her conversation with Ezekiel about his plans for her. If he had ever thought of marrying her even once before, it would be evident and he would not be so unsure as to such a matter. It seemed she had placed too much hope on him changing his mind."No, he could want to surprise me. After all, I don't think he sleeps around with other women so he must have thought of me in that light. I know he'll eventually come around" Kenzie clenched her fists under the soft rain of water from the shower nozzles.A knock came on the door of the living room while Kenzie was upstairs, checking out her dress. She rushed downstairs and it was the gate keeper informing her that someone came asking after her."Common let her in" she said to the gate keeper."Yes!" He moved swiftly to make way for Kenzie's friend.As soon as Leyla came down from her car, she smiled seeing Kenzie at the door of the tall building."What is this, a castle?" Leyla walked slowly towards Kenzie who did the same
Leyla was already tired so she didn't notice as she was already dozing while waiting for Kenzie. As soon as she saw Leyla sleeping like a heavily injured warrior who had just gotten treatment and painkillers, she laughed loud enough to wake Leyla up."Common, don't be so sleepy. Your man is probably back, waiting for you!" Kenzie said with a smirk."My man?!" Leyla quickly stood up, clearing the sleep off her eyes forcefully."Alright, there you go" Kenzie supported her till they got to the car and she had to drive since Leyla was already sleepy. Leyla's eyes brightened up and lit as cheerful as the sun when she set her eyes on Drey- her husband to be.Kenzie wanted to restrain her since she was sleeping formerly in the car but she was surprised at how suddenly Leyla became energetic. "How can you be so wreckless?" Drey perceived the body of Leyla who was hugging and clinging onto her like how a parasite would fasten to its host. There wasn't the faintest hint of alcoholic smell on
Kenzie moved a bit further from everyone and sat down. The caterers moved to serve everyone with wine and different juices.Kenzie went for the wine when a man approached her."Can I seat with you?" He asked with a smile."Of course!" Kenzie agreed touching the round table.The man before her looked familiar, she remembered him as one of the two men that caught her attention earlier. ______________________________________A whirlwind of musings swirled within Kenzie, prompting her to indulge in another sip of her wine. "I beseech you, fair maiden, forgive my impatience. If you would grant me the pleasure of this dance, it would be a privilege," the gentleman spoke graciously, his voice a mellifluous symphony. "I couldn't help but notice the radiant smile that graced your countenance when you escorted Leyla to the podium earlier," he gently remarked."Um yes, you made me smile," she replied immediately but she felt shy for telling him straight up that he was the reason she was smiling
Kenzie walked around the field with Hudson, making funny comments about different attendees at the wedding. They spent a good time together before parting.Before Kenzie could leave, another man walked up to her."Hi" he said."Hi" she answered feeling exhausted the moment Hudson was no more by her side."I saw you earlier before the declaration of vows, of course I couldn't ignore a pretty lady and I didn't want to interrupt you and your friend" he said"Oh it's fine, thank you for the compliment" she smiled."Damon is the name and you seem like you were going home" he quickly said not wanting to take much time because she was already leaving."I'm Kenzie," she said and they shook hands.Damon smiled and asked for her number, she wanted to give him a wrong one but she was being open minded. She was in transfixed because of Hudson but she obliged after a short thought. Kenzie let called her number and the man left her immediately. She appreciated his sensitivity.Kenzie left a lot lat
Kenzie thought that Leyla and Drey would be too exhausted to get out of bed even if they were awake but it seemed that Leyla already made breakfast. "Congratulations!" Kenzie greeted Drey as soon as she got to the dinning."Thank you Kenzie. Thanks for helping us through the past week, I am very grateful. I hope to repay the kind favour soon, " Drey expression full of mirth. "Awwww" Leyla commented."It's nothing Drey. I hope you guys are like this forever. I wish you guys a blissful marriage" "Awwwn, thanks buddy," Leyla rushed to kenzie and hugged her."It's okay, married woman," Kenzie said, trying to push her away. "Someone sounds jealous,"Ahem, it seems Ezekiel is back," Kenzie said looking at Leyla's direction."Woah, when?" "Just yesterday, I wlll be leaving this afternoon. You two need some space and I need some drillin…ahem nothing," she almost completed her statement.Leyla and Drey glanced at each other and pretended like they didn't know what she was trying to say.
While Ezekiel genuinely wished to honor her sentiments and avoid reducing their connection to mere pleasure, the notion of matrimony remained far from his intentions, destined to remain unspoken."Uh uh.. baby, ah. You're so handsome" Kenzie seemed to have reached a state of pleasure as she began to blurt without thinking."Hud, hud..Hudson, you're so caring," she said as she spread her fingers across Ezekiel's back.Ezekiel was on the verge of climax when he heard what she said.Kenzie seemed unaware of what she was uttering, all she knew was that she released her fluid on the bed and layed there tiredly like someone who had paralysis.Ezekiel layed beside her, wondering if she was truly spewing rubbish or she was speaking of the things which she knew. He didn't feel angry but he was a bit jealous. He reluctantly cleaned up the bed and went to the dinning for his dinner since Kenzie already prepared it.Kenzie woke up at midnight smiling as she remembered saying Hudson's name while s
Trisha looked at Elena and placed a hand on her shoulder. "Sorry for your loss," she was referring to the drink. "Damn it, let go of my drunk Bella. Trish only has one of those left" Elena pouted. "Not my concern, this is pay back" she smiled, sipping the drunk as she now turned over to face Elena's direction. "Payback doesn't affect me, haha" Trisha whispered to Elena. "Leave my drink alone and I'll help you get payback on Trisha" Elena smiled. "How? It's not so easy to get to that bitch, Even if it's you," Bella tried passing Trisha off but she didn't care. "Don't conclude m yet, you dummy" Elena glanced at Trisha and moved over to Bella. Bella shifted the drink away from Elena's reach. "Don't get too close" Trisha became curious and interested in whatever idea Elena had. "As long as I know of your plan, it won't work. Do you dare to let me hear it too?" Trisha said. "Of course, you have to know of the plan before it works," Elena answered. "Okay, now I'm curious" Bella st
Ezekiel was on his laptop, designing the new logo modification for his company by himself when Kenzie walked in with several shopping bags struggling to break free from her grip.He wasn't expecting Kenzie to have become so lively all of a sudden, Leyla must have been keeping her entertained."You look less exhausted, more vibrant. I like it, there's food on the dinning if you will" Ezekiel stated."Thanks baby, You're the best," Kenzie rushed upstairs, leaving Ezekiel wondering why she had to buy lots things and he knew not a single information about why.After she had eaten lunch, she joined Ezekiel in the sitting room and watched the design he was working on."You were with Leyla?" He asked suddenly."Um, yeah. Yes" Kenzie answered."Is there some sort of event these days? You seem quite occupied," Ezekiel wanted to get words out of her mouth even though it was just curiosity but he found it interesting that there was such an event that Kenzie had to go all out preparing for while
Ezekiel stopped in his steps, since he had decided in his heart to change a bit to become accommodating to Elena and maybe other people.Brian started to record the whole voice note and conversation the moment he walked in unknown to Ezekiel."Mtcheww…. What do you want?" Ezekiel took a deep breathe."Nothing, just checking up on your sorry ass. Now if you'll excuse me, I'll have to help your ungrateful self" Brian locked the door behind him.Elena told Trisha about Ezekiel's voice message and they listened to it together several times."Who would have thought that he would let down his arrogance and even send a message with voice notes" Trisha said."I know right and he could actually take a major blow to his career if I don't help him. I don't think he's lying""Yes but let him suffer a bit more before meeting him" Trisha laughed,
Ezekiel listened to the news as Cain watched it from his Ipad.He heard the voice of Stefan- the representative presenter and a news caster for the current party in power."Uhn… she looks familiar, I think I've seen her somewhere. Maybe in a picture or something" Cain stated as Ezekiel raised his head up, tired from battling with the sudden complete realisation of his love for Elena and his business which was at stake."Shit, how did this happen. You're done Ezekiel" Cain half yelled signalling him to come over.Ezekiel rushed over to his dad and the person he saw took him aback. It wasn't weird for Stefan w
Ezekiel was already home after looking for Elena initially. He took a deep breathe and sighed now that he was a step closer to reconciling with Elena. Time passed by slowly for him as he couldn't wait to get her back.About twenty minutes before the appointed time, he was already at the eatery waiting and looking at the door every few minutes even though he already told the security to let her in when ever she arrives.Elena was just in time, the security let her in . Thanks to checking the entrance frequently, Ezekiel spotted her as soon as she stepped in. He quickly moved to meet her and lead her to the reserved table."You look stunning" Ezekiel broke the silence. He didn't expect her to dress in such a charming manner just to meet him, he thought that she wanted to impress him but nonetheless he liked the sight he was gazing at. He didn't even realise that he missed her so much till he saw her."Thank you" she
Ezekiel felt like punching his dad's face till it becomes swollen. Just when he was thinking of what to do about Elena, another headache decided to introduce itself.Another knock interrupted his thoughts again."Bernard?" He asked."You wish" A tall and healthy looking old man entered with confidence, looking around the office.Ezekiel wasn't prepared for who stood in front of him at the moment. "Dad??" He almost yelled."Hehe…. Yes" Cain sat on the couch closer to the wall. "Ah.. you came alone, how humble. How did you even make out time to get here?" Ezekiel frowned."That doesn't matter, now call your precious Elena to come make me coffee" Cain ordered.Ezekiel's eyes widened at the fact that Cain knew Elena's name then he remembered that his father could find out most things as long as he wanted to, he wasn't a big politician for nothing after all but what would he tell him now that Elena had left DreamState? Ezekiel decided to go with the flow first."Well, she's currently not
Elena still thought of him as shady but there was no way she would actually refute such an opportunity.'In your face Ezekiel' She said in her mind, still exchanging smiles with Stefan."I look towards working with or for you" she smiled.Stefan almost let a laugh escape, he loved her humour."Alright then, I'll be needing your contact. I have your address already" he stated."Oh cut it, you probably already have my number" She folded her hands, looking directly in his eyes.Stefan spread his arms out in a smug manner."It can't be helped, I'm good but you're daring" he looked back at her."I can be daring and many other things when I need to be" she said with her hands still folded."Alright then, I guess there's no reason to keep you any further""Um, so about the office?" She inquired."I'll send an explanation to your number, you don't really need to be at the office. I mean not everyday, just don't bother much. I'll full you in" he smiled and stood up.Elena was enjoying his humo
Elena was dressed, ready to check in at an interview according to an online information she got. She wished her garrulous neighbours would spill business updates again soon, she chuckled and headed out. As soon as she got out of the gate, she saw a car right in front of house. She looked around, wondering who would just park on another person's lawn.A well dressed man in fitted suite highlighted the car and walked towards her. She moved back and put her hands in her bag immediately to make it seem like she had a taser or something."Hey hey, don't be wary" he immediately lifted his hands to the air."How ridiculous, you pulled up in front of my house. Started walking towards me without saying a word and you expect me not to take measures?" She said decisively."I'm very sorry, I wasn't simply excited to meet you that I didn't know what to say yet than to advance" he rubbed his hair a bit and laughed shortly.Elena carefully observed him, aside his cute face and the executive manner
Kenzie had fully moved in with Hudson. She had enough money to last her for few more years without having to work thanks to Ezekiel always reimbursing her account with fat loads of credit but moving in with Hudson was something she agreed to."Each time I remember that night, it gives me chill. I really wasn't expecting it" Kenzie said, steadying Hudson's face towards hers as she laid on him."It's fine, I was there too you know. I hate too say this but even though he only wants an fwb ship with you, he's quite reasonable and calculative. He won't just act on impulse unless he's under rage " Hudson said."You got all that from just meeting him once? You didn't even see his face clearly plus the conversation was short" Kenzie replied."I've had to deal with different clients and I can say that I have an eye for analysing people. He was angry enough to pick a fight with me but he kept quite to avoid fuelling his anger" Hudson said with confidence.Kenzie felt impressed that Hudson could
Ezekiel's eyes opened up as if he had seen a new light but it was now leaving his presence. In his conceit, he decided to let her go but for some reason, his heart ached with violently. He felt like he had done something he should have never even thought of, talk less of actually doing it. He face palmed, stood up and with one angry swipe, he hit every document on his table to the floor. His pride took over again as he thought of Elena and Kenzie as ladies below his status but they were the ones that abandoned him, he couldn't take it in."Why's all these shit happening?" He yelled atop his voice."Shit.. fuck!" He gripped his hair tightly when someone knocked the door."Go away, I'm in no mood to see anyone" he said and moved to lock the door from behind but the person already came in."I wasn't asking you prick!" Brian said folding his arms, the manager of DreamState- Bernard had called him as soon as he noticed Ezekiel's unusual behaviour."You! What are you doing here?" Ezekiel s
Ezekiel felt like he had to satisfy his curiosity so he followed Kenzie secretly the next day and it truly was Leyla's place but he still perceived Kenzie was on to something secretive, so he put on an interesting behavior to make Kenzie feel more comfortable until the weekend. Kenzie said she was going for another party and Ezekiel smiled with content. She felt like everything was smooth and Ezekiel was too busy playing games to bother about her.As dusk settled upon the land, Ezekiel donned a hoodie, a subtle furrow forming on his brow. Hidden within his garment was a remarkable creation of his own making—a custom malware nestled snugly within Kenzie's phone. This cleverly designed program, like a digital compass, possessed the ability to track her whereabouts as long as the phone's battery endured, an ingenious creation fueled by his determination to stay connected.Kenzie arrived at the agreed location with Hudson—a beautiful ornamental garden reserved for the privileged few.
