"Hello, Kazim." I answered the phone.

"Mommy, who's that? Is that daddy? Is he coming home? What is he saying? Can I talk to him?" Zion threw questions at me, temporarily abandoning his his soldier figure that was about to war with his batman figure. 

"No, it's not daddy, honey." I pulled the phone away from my ear to whisper to him. I pressed the intercom on the wall of the playpen. 

"Where are you, Kazim? Any update?" I continued with my call. 

"Yes, ma'am. I'll text you the location and you'll come meet us." He said.

I pulled the phone away from my ear for the second time when the door opened to reveal the person I'd summoned through the intercom.

"Yes, ma'am?" The young lady who was in her thirties stood before me.

She was my son's new live-in nanny. I didn't want to have any because I didn't trust anyone but uncle Pete talked me into it plus I knew he was right. 

This election was drawing near, he neede

    My jaw tightened and teeth clenched when I walked in to find Jared trying to engage Zion who was sparingly giving him his attention. He was focusing all his attention on uncle Pete, wanting them to play together.Though Jared didn't seem mad or impatient, he stopped when he spotted me.I averted my gaze from his, focusing on uncle Pete. "What is he doing here?"But he ignored me, focusing on his interaction with Zion. "Son, let's go get you some ice cream. Are you in the mood for one?" "Yes. And new toys." Zion said, already harboring that excited gleam in his eyes. "Let's buy for Zaya too. She might wake up anytime and ask for hers. I don't want her fighting me for mine."I gaped at uncle Pete. We had never told him Zaya's condition. He only knew she was still in the hospital but not how she was. So how did he know?Uncle Pete understood my expression. "I told him." He clarified."Why? He's just a child." My voice was low and calm. Zion, like his sister, was smart and could detect

    It propelled us until I was naked and he was shirtless, only then did it occur to me...I pushed him away. "No! Not again. Never again."Ashamed of myself, how quick I was to melt into his arms at a mere kiss, I grabbed my sheets and covered my body. "Go away.""I swear I'm not leaving, Hailey.""What is wrong with you?! It's not like you want me! You want my children!""It was my mother's plan." The bulge in his pants was too obvious. Too distracting but I forced my eyes away and planted them on his face. "You think I'm stupid? You think I'm still...""Listen to me for once, Hailey. Please." He sounded exasperated and maybe there was a hint of desperation."I do not want to listen to any more of your...""Shut up, damnit!" He yelled.I jolted in shock, not expecting that deep, angry voice to be raised at me. I kept mute but fumed silently. He heaved a sigh, rubbing his face. "I'm sorry for raising my voice, I just want you to listen to me."I calmed but didn't relax. My mouth was p

    DENISE"Finally! I thought you'd never return." I stood to welcome the man who had been the only family I'd known all my life. Mom had died young leaving me in the care of my stepfather, who was then her boyfriend. Yeah, they never got a chance to tie the knot before she died, so had my stepdad explained.I owed the man a lot especially when he'd gone through the stress of helping me find my root and discovering I was the biological daughter of a rich man.A dead rich man.He hugged me. "Yeah, I had some business to attend to. It took more time than I'd expected." He explained.He'd been gone for days. "I'm glad you're home now." I told him. He studied my face. "How did your meeting with Hailey go?"He had not been able to reach out to ask. The day I'd gone to see Hailey was the same day he'd left for his business. He dealt in a lot of illegal stuff but I didn't care and was ready to support him with whatever he wanted. He hardly made calls whenever he was on his business trip so

    The room smelled of passion and the result of satisfying lust as we both held onto each other, reaching our climax at the same time. He spilled his seeds inside of me before collapsing on my body. None of us could talk for a while. I waited for my brain cells to return to normal and be able to comprehend what had just happened. When it did, I couldn't even bring myself to look at him or even speak.But I had to say something. "Get off me."I swallowed, totally not expecting my voice to tremble as it had just did. Why was I on the verge of crying over something that I'd been a willing participant?He raised his head to study my expression, then he sighed. It was low but I heard it. "What's wrong Hailey?""Your wife needs you." I managed to get out through an emotional voice.He roll off me but didn't let go, rather he cradled me in his arms. "I promise this is not like six years ago."That made me even struggle harder to get away from him. "Unwrap your arms from my body this minute,

    MISS BORDEAUXI stepped out through the glass doors of my workplace, ready to go home. It was such a honor to be working for the second biggest company in the country.Also, with a boss like mine, it was an absolute dream come true. Mr Johnson was such a wonderful sight for good eyes, though it was a bumper he was married. Well, at least, I got to admire from afar. He wasn't the type to chase after women. And he respected the company's rules of no office romance. I hailed a taxi. A young graduate like myself from the trailer knew better than to wish for something she had no right wishing for.Mr Johnson treated me nice like every other staff under him. He paid us well and when I attended trips with him, I sure did have fun but he never made any advances.Sure he would talk to me but in a friendly, boss to employee manner. "Where to, ma'am?" The beardy cab man inquired. "Fin Square." I replied, proceeding to open the back of the taxi."That won't be necessary, Miss Bordeaux. I can

    CATHERINE"You know we have to be careful how and where we meet. The last time we almost got caught by that bitch." I complained as soon as I entered the passenger seat of his car. And by that 'bitch', I meant Hailey. I had been quick to spot her at that hotel before she sent her goons to come after us.She didn't know Derek yet, just me. So it was specifically me she had wanted. Derek and me hadn't met again until now when he'd called to see me. "Exactly why I chose a place far from town and in this car with tinted windows, one can hardly recognize us." He responded, tucking a strand of his brown long hair behind his ear. "How has it been?" I shrugged and lied. "Fine."But I knew everything was far from fine. My son was held in that bastard's custody. And then he'd had the guts to call me to order me to carry out his bidding. "Are you sure?" He observed my expression.Rather than give him a response, I extended my palm. "The money you promised me."He stretched to the backseat of

    JAREDI was going through the ledger when I heard the little commotion going on outside my office. What was happening?I rose from my chair and stepped out of my airy office to see my secretary having a little banter with someone.Other staff were watching with interest. Few eyes caught my presence and went back to their station or faced their jobs...or at least they pretended to.I had never seen Miss Bordeaux in this infuriated manner. And the person she was talking back to was a bit hidden by a staff's work station."You do not have an appointment, little girl." My secretary snapped."Do you know who I am? Who my father is?" The familiar voice had me halting in my tracks. Maybe I should let Celine handle this one all by herself.I had just done a U-turn and was about to flee to my office when I heard the excited squeal. "There he is! There's my boyfriend!"I froze in place. I could hear the deafening silence that followed her statement. Eyes were on me. Everyone knew I was marri

You're a beautiful woman and I'm sure there are guys your age who'll be willing to...""I don't want them. It's you I want, Jared. And it's you I'll have." She rose from her seat. "Come see me off. I have somewhere else to be.""I can't let you go alone. I'll have to reach out to my uncle, then he'll reach out to your father." I brought out my phone.In a swift, unexpected motion, she leaned over and grabbed my phone, giggling and heading for the door in a race."Give me my phone, Nina." I followed her, already exhausted from her child-like behavior."No, I'm not letting you call anyone." She opened the door and I went after her.Eyes raised from their respective jobs once again to lock in on an excited Nina and an embarrassed me.&n

    "This will solve nothing, you know that." She complained bitterly as the policeman cuffed both her wrists. "It'll put you in jail for killing my father." I spat at her.We had just returned from the President's place, I'd called the police to come arrest Denise and take her away. "And then what, Hailey?" She reached the base of the stairs where I was, standing in my face. Her hair and eyes wild. "Then what?!"The policeman was pulling her away from me but she stood her ground, unmoving, still in my face. I took a step closer and our noses were almost touching. "And then I'll find your step father and make him pay for what he's done.""You don't know him like I do, Hailey. Derek Kellers is smarter than you think. You need me to find him. I can help you find him." The policeman was pulling her back, struggling to have her head towards the door. "Let's join hands and defeat him, Hailey. I can find him. I know him.""I don't need your help." Her stubbornness and insistence roused more

    "So her father is...was the owner of Codza Company?" The President eyed me in surprise."Yes, Bronx. She came from money. She's not poor as many tend to think." Uncle Pete replied. We had gone to visit the President after uncle Pete had spoken to him. He had asked us to come to his office, Jared wasn't invited but he followed regardless. He was still upset with me but at least, he wasn't totally ignoring me and the fact that I had helped saved Nina. No one talked about or knew anything about her kidnap or release, it was kept under wraps, from the prying eyes and ears of the public, which was a smart idea on my part."Oh. That's a surprise though." He regarded me with a simple look before facing uncle Pete once again. "What's your plan? I've called the Chief of Police and they are yet to get back to me with any useful information.""So it was basically useless coming here." I rose from the chair, fighting back my tears and anger, with the intent to leave. "Hey, watch your mouth, y

    "oh God no! No. No." With trembling hands, I picked up my phone and dialed the line again. It made a disconnected beeping sound. I tried again, same thing. "This is all your fucking fault!" I yelled at her. I heard footsteps. There was uncle Pete. "Hey, what's going on?""She..." Words failed me as I thought of dad on his deathbed asking me to take care for the company and turn it into a great legacy. Dad had told me the story how he started that company. And I'd given it away to the wrong person for love. A stupid, blind, one-sided love! "Derek was already there, at the company. He was already siphoning the cash when we called." Denise provided, although she was talking in a voice that didn't sound like hers. "Damn!" Uncle Pete sighed. "Come here, Hailey." He pulled me up from the floor I'd subconsciously reached on my knees. "So long as you still have the company, we can make it grow. Your father's legacy will continue.""How?" I cried. "The bastard wants to blow up the place

    "Hello, ma'am.""Yes, Kazim? Are you in yet?" I asked.The reason I'd asked for the code was because I knew Derek would not give up the company up so easily and right now was just not the best time for court cases. In fact, someone like Derek didn't do legal issues. I didn't want to do anything that would make him know it was me and come for my son. Being the background, getting back what was mine was the way to go. When I ran the plan by Jared and uncle Pete, they saw my reasons as valid and supported me. "No, ma'am. The passcode is incorrect. I've been trying to break in but nothing's happening." He explained."What?" My eyes were now hazy, all I could see was red. "Are you sure of what you're saying?""Yes. Did it twice, nothing. I didn't want to risk a third time." He informed.Anger swirled. "I'll call you back." I ended the call. "That bitch!""What's wrong? It didn't work?" Uncle Pete was studying my expression."Incorrect passcode. She gave me an incorrect passcode." I repl

    "Are you ready to make the call?" I eyed Denise who was trying way too hard to control her anger. Her eyes filled with resentment glared. "Do I have a choice?" Her tone was coldly spiteful.But I could care less. I stepped further into the room. "Yes, you do. I mean, assuming you want to spend the rest of your life in prison with your would-have-been stepmother.""I don't even know the hell who that woman is but I'm sure she's a better bitch than you are." I knew she was trying to rile me up. To get me to be as angry as she was. And I knew better than to give in. A smirk crooked a corner of my lips. "I'm sure Catherine will agree..." I drew a chair close to her bed and sat. "...and I agree too. You know, six years ago, I was a bitch to you and everyone else albeit a pathetic, sad, weak one. When I left the picture, I decided if I was going to be called a bitch by everyone, I'd rather be a badass bitch than a pitiable one. So here we are. Now, talk time is over. You making the call

    "Uncle Pete just told me you hired your ex-husband." Jared said the moment I walked into the living room. It was time to prepare dinner. I eyed uncle Pete. "Really?"He was at the table, on his computer. There was a big home office/library in this house but uncle Pete mostly preferred working in the living room. His smile was a bit sheepish. "Sorry. It kinda fell out when we were having a conversation." Then he directed to Jared. "I thought you promised you won't tell her."Jared didn't reply him, rather he kept his gaze on me. "Why would you hire your ex?""Technically, uncle Pete hired him.""Because you gave the order.""Don't make it sound like a military thing. I didn't give any order. It was a request.""Same difference. Why?" He pressed further. "Why not?" I shrugged, walking past him to go see what uncle Pete was working on."Do you still have feelings for him?"His question threw me off, I was not expecting it. I narrowed my gaze at him. "Mind your business."His jealous e

    CHRISTIAN"Why haven't you been picking my calls, man?" Jerome's annoyed voice came on the other side of the line."Today was the interview, remember?" His reason for being annoyed was rousing annoyance from me as well.Emotions inside of me warred as I had watched Hailey walked out on me. I'd always known Astra-Z Corporation was a big company and currently ranked best in the country.Stepping inside had put me in a daze plus the salary. Fuck! It was quadruple of what I'd expected. If they could pay me that much as a new employee, what about the experienced ones and old staff?I wanted from it. I wanted to own it. I wanted to run it and the only way was to court Hailey. Yes, I wanted her too back into my life but damn! I was too ambitious to pass up the opportunity to run the company with her."Alright, where are you now?" He questioned."On my way to my place, why?""You have a place now?"

    "Thank you for this opportunity." Christian was wearing a nice, flirty smile. "You look beautiful, Hailey.""You'll refer to me as Miss Codza, Mr. Baldwin. This is an office, not a bar." I ensured he heard the strictness in my voice.I was just arriving in with uncle Pete but he had to attend to an urgent ten-minute board meeting with the others.I was supposed to be there but because of Christian, I'd asked him to go alone while I stayed back to receive Christian who had arrived at eight fifty five am.He was early and I was impressed. He must really need this job if he was here already."Mr. Johnson will join us soon." I was yet to invite him into the main office.I offered him a seat at the waiting section, attached to the CEO's office. I stood at the entrance of the office, waiting for uncle Pete.Soon I spotted him coming."Good morning, Mr. Johnson." Christian stood just as uncle Pete c

    "J-jared." Mia's tone was low, her eyes revealing emotions I was certain she was feeling inside. I eye rolled inwardly. Could she not just pick a brother and stick with him? Or in the light of recent event, just stick with Jerome since she ruined her marriage because of him."Hello, Martha." Jared greeted his mother-in-law with politeness.She approached him and gave him a hug. "I'm sorry." Her lips trembled.But Jared smiled back. "You have nothing to be sorry for. Moreover, it's all in the past now. I have Hailey."Martha's gaze slid over to where I stood watching as a spectator. "Hello, Hailey." Her eyes were sad as they roved over me. "Hello, Mrs. Pillax." I greeted coolly."Hailey." Martha greeted, she was also staring at me. "Martha." I greeted back but my tone was less friendly with her. I'd heard what she said.
