ADAM"Before I conclude, is there anyone here that feels there is more we could have done to these wears? Anyone that thinks these wears are not good enough to put out there?" I asked.It's been a few months since I decided to diversify and try my hands on other things. A few months since I made up my mind to steer Jones Group towards the fashion direction.It wasn't an easy decision to make. Apart from the fact I wanted to be a solid competitor to a friend turned lifetime enemy, I had been searching for other markets to delve into and fashion was just the perfect one.I picked interest in the Sports fashion market, because everyone loved sports and they needed a breath of fresh air from the usual wears they had been used to all through the years.We had already wasted more than enough time on the launch. We had some last minute changes which were vital to improve our products.I had to postpone the release date twice, to the point my staff started getting the thoughts that I was abou
ADAMJulie on the other hand, had been driving me crazy recently.Since our last meeting, I noticed I couldn't go a day without having thoughts of her interrupting my other thoughts.We had nice and deep conversations at the bar the last time and that was when it occured to me how stupid I was to lose such an amazing woman because of my wayward lifestyle.I saw a different lady in Julie. Not the regular ones that would do anything just to have a taste of me or my money.She would always act like she didn't give a fuck about me, but I saw how hard she worked during the scandal to get me out of it.Julie was what I needed to fix my already broken life. I was ready to let go of every crazy life I lived, if she would get back with me. But there was still a problem. In as much as she claimed to have forgiven me, it wasn't that easy. I did her dirty back then and if I were in her shoes, I'd hate me forever and would want nothing to do with me.I wasn't sure she was ever going to give me a
ADAM“Son, today marks a big day in your life. If there is one thing I would always be proud of, it’s the fact that you never let the family heritage die off. It’s the joy of every father to see his son make even bigger moves than he was able to” My father eulogized.“Thank you so much, dad. I must say, I learn everything I know from you. Without you, I would have given up on this years ago”“I’m really proud of you, Adam. I’m even more proud of your achievement whenever I remember that a lot of my friends were not able to maintain their legacy through their children, but mine is even going ahead to do better than me. That alone, brings me so much joy than I can explain”He was right. Growing up, I knew a lot of his friends that owned lots of establishments cutting across continents. These establishments were doing amazingly well back then, but sadly, they fell off the charts the moment they handed everything over to their kids.It was the launch day. The day we had all been anticipat
ADAMI knew a lot of top class people would come around for the launch, but I never in my wildest dreams, thought Levi Orwell would be there.Look, when it came to Runways, pageantry and every kind of modelling in London, only one name would always be mentioned first and that was Levi Orwell.He was the topping to the ice-cream when it came to modelling. Every top brand wanted to work with him on their projects.Levi was the most sought after name for fashion brands. He also owned the largest modelling academy in London and other cities."I can't believe my eyes" I was still in shock."You mean you didn't invite him?" Max asked."If I did, I wouldn't be this shocked. Let's act cool, please. He's almost here" I said."Adam Jones. I finally meet you in person" Levi said."Hello, Levi. It's a surprise to have you here""A surprise? Please! When I got the information that one of the men I admire the most in London was having his fashion outfit launch, I said to myself that I would be damn
ADAM“I always wanted him to stay around longer than he used to. He usually came home on weekends to spend some time with us and I can never forget shedding tears all the time, begging him to stay for some more time” I laughed.“Daddy’s little boy!” Someone screamed from the crowd, while others laughed.“But then as I grew, I got to understand him better. He did all that to lay a solid foundation I could build on”“I mean, he could have just relaxed at home all those times if he wanted. He never really loved the fact that he was always away from his family, but then, he had to keep on to secure a future for his kids”I felt I was already boring the guests with my long speech. It was written all over their faces that they couldn’t wait to get to the main event. I had to cut my speech short.“I can see a lot of you are eager to get this whole thing started. I understand the whole speech is boring. Who cares about some long emotional speech, huh?” I said sarcastically.“Alright. Let’s g
ADAM“Okay, listen up everybody! Just got an Information that there would be a live documentary on SPORT IT. So, if you missed the exhibition and mini tour we had earlier on, you have a second chance to get familiar with the wears” The host announced excitedly.The documentary was an afterthought. It was never part of the plans, but Max and Julie had to work on it that morning. I approved of the idea when it was brought to me. Julie was to write everything and present the documentary, while Max took care of the slides.“I’ll be calling up no other person but the delectable Julie Paxton to present this documentary. This woman has had a huge impact in this project and I expect a round of applause as she comes up here” He said, welcoming her to the stage.“Thank you so much,” She said as she got up the stage.They got the projector set and turned off the lights, making her the main focus in the hall.“Good day, everyone. I’m Julie Paxton and I’m glad to present this brief talk” She start
JULIE"It's just dinner. Nothing too serious"Since the launch, I kept thinking about Adam's request.It was one I never expected - out of nowhere. He was known for being unpredictable in most cases, but I never thought he'd ever make that move of inviting me for dinner.I was kinda speechless when he made the statement, because I didn't know what to say at that point. I was still in the whole frenzy of the applause from the guests after my presentation, so my head was blank.Luckily, he didn't force me to make any conclusions there. He told me to think about it and get back to him to know what day would be convenient."What exactly does he want from me this time around? Trying to play some of those tricks to get me back to his bed?" I kept asking myself.He could have all the girls in the world over for dinner, but why did he choose me all over? I mean, Samantha was all over him. For all I knew, I was a nobody compared to the beauty goddess Samantha was. So, it puzzled me why he stil
JULIE"Sorry, your place?" I acted like I didn't get the first time."Yeah. Any problem with that? Do you want to go anywhere else?""Nah! I was thinking of somewhere not too personal to you. Maybe a restaurant or bar""Julie, who has dinner in a bar, for God's sake? Tell me, when was the last time you went on a date with someone?" He mocked me."Oh, please! It's the thought that matters, not the location""Well, in this case, the bar isn't a great idea for a dinner date. So you can come up with a better place if you're too scared to come to my place" He said."No, it's fine. Let's just have it at your place. But..." I said, then paused."But?" "It's just dinner. Don't try anything corny, Adam""You have my words, Julie. Trust me"We ended the call after we shared a few talks about the office and stuff. Not without gossiping Samantha and her antics. Everything seemed surreal, like I was about to do something crazy. I was about to go on a dinner date with my enstranged baby daddy in
ADAMI got Max and Samantha fired the next morning without thinking twice about it. Unlike Max that tried to make an appeal, Samantha was very proud of the act and showed no remorse about it. I sent them both away and threatened to get them arrested if I ever saw them around the company.The past weeks had been a roller coaster for me. First, it was me thinking Julie had betrayed me, and sending her away. Then, it was Max, someone I regarded as one of my closest friends.I wasn’t surprised about Samantha being the mastermind of it. She hated Julie with everything in her and never failed to show it at the slightest chance she got. But, Max? He was way too close to Julie; her closest friend in the office. I never expected such from him.I didn’t know how to approach Julie with everything that had happened the past days. I mean, I sent her away for the second time without even hearing her out. That was so cruel of me.I tried calling her, but her line wasn’t reachable. I had to go see he
ADAM“I have no intentions of hurting you, Adam”When Julie came back, I did nothing but take her in with good cheer. I never knew all along, the plan was to get back at me because of what happened between us six years ago.I spent days brooding over what the one person I loved so much did to me. The betrayal pierced so deep into my heart that I couldn’t get over it. I tried so hard not to believe it was true. I so wanted to to be all a joke or prank.With how innocent she looked, one would hardly suspect she had such an evil intention towards me.I mean, we already bonded so deeply and I was planning on moving her and Bryan to a more befitting apartment close to me, until she was mentally ready to move in fully with me.My major worry was Bryan. It had been over two weeks Julie left and I couldn’t reach her again. A part of me strongly doubted if Bryan was really my son like she said, or if it was all part of her lies to get closer to me, to execute what she had in mind all along.I
JULIE“You have broken the trust I had for you, Julie. Goodbye”Adam’s word kept ringing in my head as the days went by. I tried but just couldn't get over it.I tried to recall everything that happened that fateful day. It was just so fast and scripted perfectly that I didn’t even have the chance to think about what was happening around me.Adam didn’t give me a listening ear either. It was like he was under a spell or hypnosis. The evidence was there; it was their world against mine. I was unknowingly with an official document of the company, which shouldn’t even be in my possession in the first place.I wasn’t given the chance to explain myself, which made me disappointed in Adam. I was sure he thought of me as evil and didn’t want anything to do with me again,The look of betrayal on his face said it all and it took a lot of self-control from him not to get me arrested at that point. Rather, he sent me away again.“Who could have been behind this?” I asked myself.Only Samantha ca
JULIEIt had been two months since things got completely rosy between Adam and I. Two months since he finally introduced himself to Bryan as his father.Things have been going so smoothly ever since. I usually sent Bryan off to his place to go spend some weekends. Sometimes, at Adam’s request, others, just because I wanted to have some “Me” time without Bryan’s problems.Soon, we came to an agreement that Bryan would be spending the weekends at his place, when Adam would be free enough to relate well with him. I also went over to see him when I could and he never failed to have sex with me whenever I was at his place.Things were finally back to normal, as I always wished for. Everything seemed to be going well. Samantha no longer threw herself at Adam. Seemed she had swallowed the bitter pill at last.I was supposed to meet with Max and a certain client at a hotel lounge, with a sealed document Max gave to me the previous day at the office. According to him, the document was for a bu
ADAMIt had been a week since father visited me in my office, seeking to be in the know of what was happening between Samantha and I. He left the office in utter shock after I had told him I had a baby child with Julie.All those years, just like me, he thought that Julie got rid of the pregnancy like I had commanded her to. He had nothing else to do at that point; there was no other way he could help Samantha talk to me, because my mind was already made up.As soon as I got to work the next day, I angrily sped off to Samantha’s office to confront her about what just happened.“How dare you try to involve my father in my personal life? What gave you the guts to do that?!” I thundered at her.She fidgeted, as she had never seen me in such mood before. She tried to calm me, but I wasn’t having any of that.It wasn’t enough that she kept on forcing herself on me, she also had to drag my dad into something he had no business with. That was way out of line.“I know everything. He told me.
ADAMIt had been a week since I had the most mind-blowing sex in a while. A week since I got to spend quality time with the woman I loved dearly. Also a week since Julie told me that Bryan was my seed- a result of one of the numerous sex we had when we were still together six years ago.The news was the best thing my ears ever heard in years. Not even the launch of the fashion brand could rival the joy the knowledge of Bryan being my son, brought me.Everything seemed brand new to me ever since I got the news. I smiled more as my happiness knew no bounds.For so long, I always imagined what it would be like, having my own son, whom I’d give everything he ever wanted. The fact that Bryan was one smart kid, warmed my heart the more.“He’ll go on vacations in any country of his choice” I thought to myself.“I think I should get him a car and a driver who would be taking him anywhere he wants to go to” I thought again.“No, that would be too much” I disputed.“Nah! Nothing is ever too m
JULIEI just had the best sex of my life and instead of feeling used and disgusted at myself, I felt satisfaction like never before. Prior to that day, I never realized how much I needed the orgasm that came from a session of intense sex.It was as as if my whole body had a total revamp; like every organ got changed and became brand new. I had goosebumps all over me for a long time as I laid on the bed with Adam.My legs were still feeling shaky from the climax it just went through and my pussy felt sore. I didn’t care. I had gotten the satisfaction I needed and I was open to more, regardless of how tired I was.I never planned to have sex with Adam. It was never my intentions to get intimate with him. The plan was to go to the wedding with him, spend some time, dance, then get home to have my rest. But the incident with Max which changed my mood, got me craving something to ease myself of the mood swing and sex was just the perfect fit to my puzzle.Adam, on the other hand, panted he
JULIEThe ride back to Adam’s place was a calm one. As I sat next to him at the passenger seat, I couldn’t help but have a feeling of relaxation all over me. Just like at the wedding, a soft melodic romantic song was drifting from the car speakers and this made the atmosphere even more serene.He stared down at me and touched my face calmly, while I snuggled up into his warm embrace. With his arms around me, I felt nothing but safe.Justin was focused on his driving and constant humming to the music. It was like the classic romance movies I grew up watching, only that this time, I was the main character in it.“How are you feeling now?” Adam’s deep sensual voice calmly pierced into my ears.“I’m feeling a bit better. If we could stay in this position longer, I might feel completely better” I said and giggled.“You are permitted to stay for a long as you want” He rubbed my shoulders with his palms.“I’m sorry I had to make you leave the wedding earlier” I apologized.“It’s fine, Julie.
JULIE“Hi, Max” I managed to say.I looked at him and looked away almost immediately. I was so ashamed to look at Max for long. He faked a smile, but I knew that deep down, the smile meant nothing but the feeling of being betrayed and disgust for me.Adam stared at me as I acted weird. I was sure he expected me to be all happy seeing Max, but my countenance was just the direct opposite.“Is everything okay? You both are acting very awkward right now, like you just saw a ghost. Or, did you?” Adam asked, looking around in search of the presumed ghost.“Hahaha! I’m sure she’s just too tired, or maybe she never expected to see me here” Max responded, still smiling at me.As his smile grew wide, all I could see was a broken man, masking it with laughter. I had to cheer up to avoid any further interrogations from Adam.“Yeah. That might be the reason, I guess” Adam nudged my shoulder.“I never knew you’d be coming along with her, though. I expected you’d be here alone” Max continued.“Well…
