âWow! You had quite an adventureâ, Chase said with a feeble smile.âNot one l would want a repeat ofâ, Valerie said . âls he your twin brother? I mean Chris, you are identical to himâ, she asked. Chase stood up, as if trying to avoid the topic. He walked and stood by the window, looking at the fresh flowers outside. As the scent of the white lilies filled his nostrils, as a blast from the past filled his mind.âYes. The worst twin brother to ever liveâ, Chase scorned. Valerie felt an ache in her heart. âChris never told me he had a twin brotherâ. âWe arenât exactly best buddies, so I am not surprised he never mentioned me. We donât get along. More like we disowned each otherâ, he replied, a frail laugh coming out of him, with evident pain.âBut why?â, she asked.âWe are just naturally different. So after our parents died and the properties shared, I left and started a new life on my ownâ, Chase said. Valerie did not reply. A lot of things were in her mind. After that Chase explained

âPlease excuse usâ, Chase politely asked his chef as soon as she had served them. He shifted his gaze to Valerie.âValerie, I want to talk to you about somethingâ, he stated as he sat comfortably on a rich, velvety, soft dining chair.âChase , l know the inconvenience, I promise l will leave tomorrowâ, she pleaded. Chase looked at her, taken aback.âValerieâĶI was not going to ask you to leaveâ, he replied with a kind expression.âYou werenât?â, she whispered. He softly held her palm. âI know you are going through a tough and confusing time right now. Why donât you stay here with me?â, he asked. She stuttered,â I donât know what to sayâ, she said.âJust say yes. You can stay for as long as you wantâ, he assured. She felt a lump form in her throat as her eyes welled up. âThank you so much. That is so kind of youâ, she said her voice barely a whisper.âI am glad I could helpâ, he said as he shrugged. âNow eat, lady!â, he said cheerfully. She looked at all the food in front of her, grille

The next morning, Chase forced himself out of bed as his stomach growled with hunger. Still somnolent, he pulled his feet out of his bedroom, only to be startled by Valerie standing still right by his bedroom door, holding the same newspaper to his face he had tossed into a trash can about 2 days prior, because of how sarcastic it was. It headlined that his and Chris' coincidental leave from work was an attempt to resolve their differences. How ridiculous! Her expression was stiff, as if trying to show him he owed her some sort of explanation, which he felt he didn't. "Chris resigned?", she asked breathlessly, her eyes aflame."Uh, no. He just took some time off work. That's what I read", he yawned, as he walked past her, to make his way to the dining room to have his breakfast."But why?", she asked as she followed him."I do not know. I didn't even know this happened coincidentally when I took my own leave from work ", he replied. "But you could have told me", she said. Chase stop

"Chris?", Richey called. He remained frozen. He approached and shook him."Chris?", he called once more. He opened his eyes and blinked. He groaned as he tried to pull himself up from the ice cold floor. Richey helped him up and sat him on the cough. Confusion plastered all over his face, Chris blurted, "What time is it?".Richey looked at him, concerned. "Chris you can not keep doing this to yourself. Snap out of it!", he said. Chris didn't answer. His head was spinning from drinking two bottles of gin the whole night. He speculatively looked around the house and asked, "Where am I?". "You are in your own house. I dropped you here yesterday remember, and put you to bed", Richey said and sighed. Clearly, you continued drinking after l left", he said as he stood up and reached for the window. "It reeks to high heaven like a downtown bar in here".Chris, in uttermost confusion, slumped down and lay on his back. It wasnât after several seconds that he vigorously turned his head to the fl

The elegant glass door swung open and he stepped in. The soft hum of conversation from the lobby enveloped his ears. A flurry of activity erupted among the gathered crowd. The paparazzi came alive, cameras clicked as the reporters jostled for position, a murmur of excitement rippling through the morning air.His tall, handsome figure commanded attention, his broad shoulders and confidence letting out an aura of determination. The eyes of the employees and media representatives clung onto him, the media vying for a piece of him.With a subtle nod, he acknowledged the gathered media and employees, his presence electrifying the atmosphere. The air seemed to vibrate with unspoken questions. As Chris strode purposefully toward the reception desk, the crowd parted, allowing him a clear path. The soft click of his shoes on the polished marble floor seemed to echo through the lobby, punctuating the silence. In that moment, it was clear; Chris Malvins was back and he meant business.As he made

Five months had passed. Things settled down and everything seemed to fall into place for everyone. Chris got it together again and resumed work. Chase had resumed work three months prior. Chrisâ wedding was around the corner and the air was electric with love_ and as the lilacs blossomed, so did Chase and Valerie.Valerie and Chase had been living together and they had become inseparable. Whatever love portion or enchantment he had used on her undoubtedly had an effect. Even she couldnât resist his charms. She was head over heels in love with him. Chase claimed to be in love with her too. Valerie had never felt that way with anybody before and Chase as her first love, he was dearly special to her. She felt she had her knight in shining armour in him and he was immensely in love with her, that he would never look at another, again. There seemed to be burning passion between them, she was addicted to his smile, his cologne, his body, the same way he was addicted to her. Or maybe that is

As a commotion erupted at the garden entrance, Chris caught a glimpse of Valerie being escorted away. Without sparing another second, he jerked from the altar and strode towards her. As tension accelerated in the crowd, the paparazzi shifted focus from the altar to the entrance Chris Malvins was headed to.As Chris approached, his heartbeat increased. âValerie?â, he called as he pushed the guards away from her. âValerie is this really you ?â, he asked as his hand caressed her face, hairâĶas if to be sure it wasnât a ghost in front of him.âValerie cut off his moment of perplexity. âChris, there is no time. I have to tell you something. Now!â, she insisted.â But ValerieâĶI have been looking for youâĶ?â, he said.âI have to tell you something, get back into your headâ, she said.âDo tellâ, he said. Valerie looked at him with a burning eye. âNot hereâ, she said, as she took notice of the cameras clicking at them.Chris grabbed her by the hand and headed to the mansion. As they walked, the c

Valerieâs eyes speculatively scanned the scene below. Chase walked to the car, his chauffeur escorting him. The chauffeur opened the door for him and he got into the car. Finally, the car took off until it was out of sight. Valerie hurried to the bathroom. Feeling refreshed after her bath, she put on a stunning, flared midnight blue satin dress, and complemented it with a diamond necklace. She hung a handbag over her shoulder and stood in front of the mirror. As she admired herself in the mirror, she realized Chase had been sincere, her beauty shone.Politely rejecting the chauffeur, she drove herself, going against Chaseâs instruction to never go out without one. This time, she had to do this alone. An hour later, she knocked on Chrisâ door. Then again, with no response. She was about to turn back to go, when she heard what seemed to be footsteps, becoming louder and louder as he approached the door, then as he unlocked the door he mumbled, âVisiting at ten in the morning without an

Valerie watched as Chris walked out of the office and banged the door behind him. She was unmoved, her eyes cold and devoid of emotion. All Valerie could think of was how immaturely Chris had misunderstood their sexual encounter the previous night for love. Her clarification was they were two starved adults and they had found a mutual ground. Thatâs all it was. Or thatâs all she wanted to believe. Frankly, by then Valerie had grown much fond of Chris. She could feel her heart slowly creating space for him. Nevertheless her worry and fear made perfect sense to her. It had only been a few months since she had gotten over Chase, and she felt unprepared to give her heart to another once more. She didnât want to be quick to give in. Valerie wasnât ready for the attention, the complications and the possible betrayals and heartbreaks love came with. She admitted Chris was good, better than Chase, best of them all and she too could not have enough of him. Whatever the misunderstandings, she kn

Valerieâs half-open eyes took a glimpse at the clock. It read half past nine. Alarmed, she jumped out of bed. A note by the bedside caught her attention. She grabbed it and read, while her lips revealed a gorgeous smile. It read: Take a day off. Youâve been thoroughlyâĶ occupied. âHow naughty!â, she mumbled to herself.Although she knew Chris would allow her a day off, she had a presentation she badly had to prepare for. She hurried out of Chrisâ bedroom and rushed to her own. Rushing to the bathroom, she took a warm, quick shower. Afterwards, she moisturized her body and reached for the first clothes her eyes fell on in the closet; a grey formal, pencil dress and black loafers. She paced down the staircase, hurried to the garage and hoped into a Mercedes-Benz CLA. She sped off , headed to Global Nexus Company.As she drove off, her mind drifted to the previous night. At first she had been embarrassed by the office encounter, but her body still shook with intense desire, she wanted mor

Chase sat on the polished, exquisitely made bar stools in his mansion, barely able to hold himself. He looked at the bar, his sight blurry, searching for another strongest drink there was. Unanswerable questions swirled in his mind, âWhy does Chris always have a way to take everything that is mine? Why is my twin brother so wicked? Why is he snatching my woman away from me?Fairly though, Chris wasnât taking Valerie from him. Chase had messed up big time, treated Valerie like trash and was quick to discard her. Now he understood more the depth of her pain, seeing the one he desired in that ungodly position hurt him to the core. âSo is this how Valerie felt when she found me in the act with Dora? Did the pain have to hurt so bad?â, he wondered. Heâd been unapologetic, heâd snapped at her, reminded her that his house was his and he could bring anyone he wanted to. Still, Valerie had been willing to make things right.However, he went on to break up with Valerie and chose Dora, but all t

She gave him a light, playful slap on the cheek. âWhat was that for?â, she asked, feeling shy like a child caught stealing sugar. She quickly put on her shirt, and wiped off the sweat on her neck.âIâm not sorryâ, he confessed, as he buttoned his shirt.âYou need to know your limits, Mr Malvinsâ, she said firmly, her face straight, picking up her underwear and skirt from the floor.âYou mean the same Mr Malvins whom you have just shared the most orgasmic moment with? You donât have to pretend, itâs all over your face I know you like what you just didâ, he said. Valerie laughed, looking away. She went over to her desk, pulled the chair and threw herself down.âI think we need to draw a line over there to divide this office in two. No one crosses over to the other side. Strictly businessâ, she suggested.âThat is so juvenileâ, he said as he followed her to her desk. He stood behind her chair, holding her shoulders as she was sitted.âYou have been planning on this havenât you?â, Valerie
Sassy Orphan and The Twin CEOs    The forbidden office romance
The sudden realization that she was five months pregnant with Chaseâs baby was undeniably a bitter pill to swallow for Valerie. Nevertheless, with time Valerie accepted her fate, acknowledged the baby growing in her womb as her blessing and had nothing to do with her failed relationship with Chase. Chris had been a pillar and good friend. As she had commenced work as Chrisâ Personal Assistant a month prior, she was relieved that his bond with her hadnât attracted media attention. For some reason, she had opted to share the office with Chris. Perhaps it was because she felt more secure with Chris, than the rest.One morning as she took a break, she switched off her laptop, and walked her way to the edge of the room. Chris heard her stilettos clicking on the marble floor. He sneakingly shifted his sight to her, and watched her bottom swaying seductively. After the sneak peak, he raised his newspaper again, trying not to get caught.Looking at the high rise buildings, Valerie took a deep

An hour later Chase opened the door. He was stunned and his eyes narrowed.â What do you want?â, Chase asked, his eyes blazing. âYou are not going to use her baby as leverageâ, Chris declared, letting himself in and closing the door.âOh, so now that youâve ruined Tashaâs life, you think you can swoop in and play hero for my baby mama?â Chase sneered, his voice dripping with venom. â I ruined Tashaâs life? Thatâs news to me!â, Chris said, letting out a loud, piercing laugh.âOh, so now Valerieâs sent you to do her dirty work, huh? How pathetic. Sheâs got you dancing on a string, and youâre just a mindless puppet eager to please her. Newsflash, Chris, youâre nothing but a doormat for her to wipe her feet on. And Iâve heard youâre treating her like your personal trophy, polishing her ego and feeding her insecurities. How cute. Take my leftovers brother, go ahead. Youâre welcome to the trash Iâve discarded. Enjoy being her second-hand man, her Plan B, her consolation prizeâ. As soon as

Dora finally flew back to Colombia. Gradually, the mediaâs attention shifted away from Chase and Valerieâs fiasco to whatever latest scandal there was, some celebrityâs album release or trending show, much to Valerieâs relief. Hiding from the world in Chrisâ secluded mansion, she felt safe and serene. She finally put her failed relationship with Chase Malvins behind her. She knew that eventually she would be able to face the world again.Valerie would often vividly remember the day she stepped into Chrisâ mansion, from Roosevelt hotel. Her gaze had fallen upon the wilted Orchid, once her beloved favourite. âYou stopped watering the Orchid, didnât you?â she asked, a hint of accusation in her voice. Chris had shrugged, guilt in his eyes. As days turned into months, Valerie started to notice a shift in Chrisâ behaviour around her. He would often find excuses to spend more time with her, seeking her opinion on everything from his business decisions to his favourite TV shows. But it was t

A week had passed since Dora and Chaseâs disgusting lovemaking video had gone viral. By then , every sane human being thought Dora would be somewhere, hiding her face in shame over what she had done. However, on the contrary of everyoneâs expectations, Dora was enjoying the attention the media was showering on her. As often as she could, Dora would deliberately make a public appearance, and enjoy the cameras clicking at her, news reporters running after her.Finally, the day everyone had been waiting for came. Karen, the best presenter was to interview Dora over her love affair with Chase.âDoraâ, she started, ââĶeveryone canât help but wonder how you still manage to show your face after âĶno offense but a disgusting, despicable, shameless act. Dora rolled her eyes, her fingers running down her hair.âWhatâs so shameful about having a sexual intercourse?â, Dora asked.âBut with a man who is about to marry another woman in four days?â, Karen asked. Dora just gazed at her and shrugged, un

Just then, Chris swiftly changed the subject. âSo just be strong friend. Time is like a river. You canât touch the same water twice, because the flow that has passed will never pass again, so enjoy every moment of lifeâ.âWhat was that?â, she asked, surprised at his words.âOops! Forgive me, I just canât help but become poetic in this garden of âĶâ.She burst into laughter. They both now felt tired as it was running late. Chris accompanied Valerie to her hotel. â I will just put you to bed and l will be outâ, he promised. Valerie sat in bed, then it was time for Chris to go leave, but he kept on moving about.âYou want to tell me something?â, she asked.He looked at her, surprised. âIt shows?â, he asked back. âWell, I was wondering if I could spend the night on the couchâ, he said, hesitantly. Valerie said nothing.âYou wonât even know l am her, I promiseâ, he said.âAnd why would you leave the comfort of your home for a small uncomfortable, hotel couch?â, she asked, she had been aston
