JULIEIt's been about a week Adam connected me to Madam Morello. I had followed her up like she asked and we got to establish an understanding.I was glad I would finally get one stressful aspect of my life sorted out. I took all Bryan's disturbance in good faith, because I knew it would soon be over by the time Madam Morello resumed work.Bryan on the other hand, had been disturbing me about it almost everyday.Ever since I told him he would be having a new babysitter, not a day went by without him asking if she would be coming over that day."Mummy, when is she coming over?""Very soon, baby. Just calm down""Would she play with me and my toys?""Do you want her to do that?""Yes. She can play with the fire truck, while I play with the soldiers"He was really excited. That was the first time he would be having a babysitter since we left Birmingham.He got so close to the former that at some point, he preferred her company to mine. I would scold him for doing stuff and he would go ah
JULIENormally, I wouldn't be too happy leaving my baby to the care of a babysitter, but bearing in mind the recommendation I got from Adam about her, and how she spoke on phone, I knew she was one to be trusted.Like she promised, she got back to London not long after and gave me a call to inform me she would be coming the next two days.We discussed about her journey and all that, then I gave her the precise direction to my apartment.I also told Bryan about it and he was excited as well. It seemed we all had that mutual excitement.For me, I was happy she was coming, 'cause I was about to lose my mind trying to cope with everything and everyone.For Madam Morello, she loved being around kids and the fact I made taking care of Bryan seem like a challenge, excited her the more. It was as if she wanted to prove to me that she could take care of any kid and My parenting skills suck.For Bryan, He was also tired of my constant scoldings whenever he did something wrong. He always complai
JULIEI was still in the business of unpacking the stuff we just got from the grocery store, when the doorbell rang."I think she's the one. Good thing I didn't spend more time over there" I said.I hurried to the door to see who it was, with my mind fully made up that it was Madam Morello.Prior to that day, all our conversations had been over the phone. I had never seen her before. I didn't know what she looked like. I just moved to the door with the hope of seeing an elderly woman waiting to be let in."On my way" I said as the doorbell came again.I looked through the peephole and rather than seeing the image of a really elderly woman I had in my head, I was met with a surprisingly younger version of what I had envisaged."Hiii! You must be Madam Morello" I said as I opened the door."Hello, Julie. Of course I am" She smiled as she spread her hands for a hug, which I gladly accepted."It's so nice to finally meet you, ma'am""You can say that again, Julie. We finally meet after th
JULIE"I want chocolates, Cupcakes, no ice-cream. I hate ice cream" He stated."He hates ice-cream? That's odd, 'cause I've never seen a kid that's not crazily in love with it. What caused this, Julie?" She asked."It's a long story, my dear. In summary, he took too much ice cream and it landed him in the hospital. So, he hates it with everything in him now" I explained."Oh wow! I would have to write that down too. You'll have to give me a list of things he's allergic to" She said."That won't be a problem. I don't think there's really much. It's just the ice cream and it just started not long ago""Look, mum! Pop Pickles in on. Come watch with me, Madam Morello" He leaped off her laps towards the television.Pop Pickles was his favourite TV show. A musical animation about a bunch of talking pickles living together in a farm.I felt my skin crawl whenever the show came on. I mean, what were the creators thinking? What's the next we would see? Talking Garlics?But it gave the boy so m
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
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…
