Ramona followed him inside the meeting room, and stood behind him as watched the employees become quiet as they glued their eyes on the table.She began to wonder why they are quiet, and calm. Are they trying to compose themselves? Or are they scared of him?“What's the sales for this week?”“40 million,” Ramona's eyes widened at the amount she called out, and she quickly composed herself. Indeed he's stinky rich for him to be able to purchase the penthouse and cars, and give it out as a wedding gift.“You are fired!” His growl brought Ramona back to reality as her eyes widened. Did he just fire her?? Before she knew it, she saw a young lady around her age on her knees.“You make a simple typo, what if it was our client that saw the typo not me, just guess what will happen. You know I hate mistakes even when humans are bound to make one. You made a silly mistake and wants me to overlook it, I don't give second chance,” Ramona watched the young lady with pitiness written in her eyes.
At night, Ramona entered the living room grinning ear to ear feeling tired and at the same glad she now has a job that she can depend on.Lady Mary came out from the kitchen to see Ramona. “Ramona,”“Huh….. Lady Mary,” Ramona called, in a low tone as she grimaced. She hugged Lady Mary who stroked her back gently.“How was work?”“It was interesting, not bad and it was a little bit stressful but I don't mind,” She replied, and Lady Mary nodded.“Go and have your bath before the water become cold,”Ramona kissed Lady Mary cheek smiling before going upstairs to her room holding her handbag.She got inside to see Fluffy staring at the TV with its eyes shut. She smiles before dropping her bag on the bed. Ramona switched off the TV, with off her dress as she walked in the washroom. She had her bath, and after bathing, she stepped out of the washroom.She dried her body with a towel then wore her pink pajamas and a hair band as she packed her up in a bun.Ramona walked towards Fluffy, and c
~ THE NEXT DAY, SINCLAIR'S FAMILY HOUSE.The whole family is circled around a huge table. Belle, who had a meeting early in the morning, adjourned the meeting to the next 2 hours to attend the morning breakfast, and Sebastian reluctantly attended the morning breakfast.Ramona forced him to attend the morning breakfast because she was with him last night when his mother called him.“Shall we eat,” Joe said, and everyone took their spoon as they began to eat when the entrance door opened, and Brett came in.He approached the dining table, and took a seat in front of Sebastian who's eating silently.“You are here today, I guess Uncle has something important to announce to everyone,” Brett said, and Sebastian just gave him a silent treatment as he kept eating.“Uncle, good morning and aunt, good morning,” “So I don't deserve any greetings,” Belle said, scoffing at his attitude.“Sorry, I did not see you, pregnancy made you short and invincible,” Belle tightened her fist as she found his
LATER AT NIGHT, Ramona stepped out from the washroom as she cleaned her wet hand with a tissue then dumped inside the waste bin.She walked towards her mirror, and sat on the stand as she picked a face lotion and applied it on her face.Ramona remembered Sebastian, and suddenly smiled as her cheek grew in redness. She can't believe she's in love with him, and confesses her feelings to him first. Yesterday was her best night ever as Sebastian cuddled her, and she slept in his room for the first time.She wore a pink hair band packing her hair in a neat bun. She stood and carried Fluffy as kissed it then giggled.Ramona sat on the bed with Fluffy as she stretched her body and took the TV remote. She switched on the TV, and placed the remote on the bed next to her as she began to watch a movie.She took her phone from the nightstand and switched it on to check time, it's 10pm, and Sebastian is yet to be back.“What's taking him so long?Why is he not back yet?” Ramona muttered as she wore
~ DAYS LATER, RC CORPORATION.Ramona stretched her hand as she felt pains on her fingers. She's been typing and busy for hours.It's 12pm, time for lunch and she still has load of work to do and attend to. “Ramona,” She heard a familiar voice, and her face slowly turned to the direction of the voice. She saw Sebastian and ignored his existence, feigning an angry look.She stood up, and took her phone as she approached the elevator with Sebastian following her behind.“Wait up, are you angry?”“And why should I not be angry? Sebastian, let's talk when we get home,” Ramona said, entering the elevator and he joined her.“I was extremely yesterday, and today,”“Then, let me not disturb you,” She stated and he stared in amusement then suddenly hugged her from the back, and her eyes widened.“Sebastian, what are you doing? We are at work presently,” She gasped and tried to remove his arm from her waist which proved abortive.“Let's have lunch together then we talk,” He left her as the eleva
AT NIGHT, Ramona entered her room, chewing some cookies Lady Mary prepared as dessert for Ramona.She walked towards the nightstand and picked her phone to see a missed call from Sebastian. Immediately she dialed his line, and he picked the call after some hesitation.“I'm sorry I missed your call, I was in the kitchen with Lady Mary and I left my phone on the nightstand in my room,” She explained, hoping he won't get mad at her.She does not want to get on his bad side, and now that they are married for real, she wants to treat him well, like a good wife.He chuckled, “I'm not angry, I just called to check up on you”“I've been home already since around 8pm and this is just 10pm, going to 11pm. Are you still busy? Are you going to come home tonight?” She asked, with worry shown in her voice.“I will try, and by the way my boss gave us a free treatment in a hotel to enjoy ourselves.”“Really?? RC did that,” Ramona said, with bewilderment shown on her face as she chortled. She slowly s
The next morning, the ray of sun penetrated, and reflected on her face as Ramona covered her face with her hands, groaning loudly.“Goodness, it's morning already,” She mumbled to herself as she left out a groan. Her hands dropped from her face, as she sat upright to see Sebastian entering the room shirtless with his hands trapped in his pants.He approached her and Ramona widened her arms as she hugged him tightly and he showered her face with kisses.“Good morning,” She greeted with a smile on her face and he broke the hug.“Morning, kitten. your bath is ready, and a new set of dress is ready for you,” Ramona smiled. “Thank you, I will get ready now,” She hopped out from the bed, and went inside the washroom.She stood in front of the mirror in the washroom and redness began to grow on her face as she giggled, biting her lower lip.Last night will be her second best night. Sebastian knows how to make her night the best night ever than she would ever imagine.After reminiscing over
After breakfast, Ramona and Sebastian left his parents house as Sebastian dropped her off at home first before going to work.Ramona got inside the house, and Lady Mary came out of the kitchen to welcome her. Ramona hugged her tightly, as she carefully dragged Lady Mary upstairs to her room.“So how was your night?”“Very good, and I went to Sebastian's parents house this morning for breakfast,” Ramona replied, smiling as she brought out her tongue slightly.“Really? How was it there?”“At first there was tension but later it was fun meeting his parents, most especially his mother. She's strong, smart and fun to be with. Now, I get where Belle gets her attitude from, it's from her mother,” Ramona replied, and Lady Mary said.Ramona sat on the bed, and Lady Mary packed her hair up in a neat bun with a hair band, and unzipped her white gown.“Will you be able to eat?”“No, I can't, my stomach hurts so I will just swallow myself in pain,” Ramona replied, and Lady Mary smiled.“I'm coming
As the day drew near to dusk, the earth cast a dark cloud in the sky, telling the little foxes to go for a rest.At HILILi Estate that night, the whispers of two adults could be heard from a corner of the garden. The whispers were accompanied by sweet kisses and giggling of two lovers, who hid themselves in their warmth inhaling the breath, from each other’s nostrils as they stood gazing uninterruptedly at each other's eyes.However, the aura inside the house was pretty tense as the voice of a woman screaming her life out, and of children jumping in merriment could be heard from the large living room of the opulent home.Amidst the ruckus from inside the building, Ramona and Sebastian wrapped up themselves disregarding the distraction from the kid. They trusted Lady Mary and Dianna to handle the situation. The moment was blissful as the family came to understand why they must forgive each other and allow love to lead.The reconciliation between Ramona and Sebastian affected everythi
Despite the hurt in Belle’s heart from a broken friendship, she still gave Ramona a hug when they got home.In her confusion, Ramona didn't know that her new boss was a friend of Deacon. According to Deacon, Scott told him about the feelings he had grown for Ramona but only got to know the truth after he showed Deacon a picture of Ramona he took while she wasn't aware.That day as Romona stepped her foot to the home she once found comfort and solace, a drop of tears tickled her eyes. Belle’s home still bore the love and warmth she knew even after five years.Belle, after a warm treat, poured out all her grievances at what happened five years ago. In a heated conversation, Belle asked Romana if she had been pregnant with Sebastian before she left the house.The air still as a question that would clear the doubt of everyone was thrown at Ramona. With hands clenched to each other, Ramona let out her answers shocking everyone and confirming Sebastian’s words earlier. For days now, Seba
That day, the sky cast bright lights on the roofs of the city, calling it a quiet day from dusk to dawn.It's been a week since Ramona and her family moved from Australia to New York City. Having made enough money to sustain their livelihood, they rented a cozy apartment far from every tiny thing that had to do with Sebastian and the Sinclairs.Having spurred herself to cater for her kids without exposing them to Sebastian and his family, Romona decided to work harder for her money, while Lady Mary took care of the kids.Luck played its way around herself and Dianna as they got picked by Quib Technology, one of the most popular companies in New York City after the N.C. group. The company’s pay was mouth watery too so Ramona didn't have to worry. That morning while it was day's break, Romona got up from bed to the kitchen, trying to get a lot fixed before going off to work. She loved her new job but it was a bit strenuous yet, she had no will.For days after the encounter with Sebasti
Standing dumbfounded by the hallucinating scenery that was yet to unfold before Sebastian, he lifted his numbed cold feet, increasing his pace to meet up with the woman who just walked past him a while ago.In an attempt to re-identify with the woman, Sebastian called,” Ramona” His breath longing for clarity and confirmation at the people he just saw. Sebastian’s voice echoed deep into Ramona’s soul sending an impassive sensation into her once-broken heart. With eyes filled with tears in an overcome battle of forgiveness from the past, Ramona made a slow turn, avoiding the interruption from the busy airport. Having Kain, one of Sebastian’s heirs in her hand, Ramona with her head buried on the floor, stood face-to-face with Sebastian, her body longing for his warm hug.The noise from the busy airport and the trailing sound of luggage struck yet, a certain acute silence swept both Sebastian and Romona's feet as they stood to face the reality that now seemed clear before Sebastian’s e
The morning sun rose down the earth that morning, calling it a Monday morning in New York City.Being the only one left in the grand house at HILLI Estate, Sebastian has learned by compulsion how to go shopping and make his food without the help of anyone. Five years of Ramona's departure taught him a lot about life. Since he had wiped off all his enemies, his life has been peaceful without him having to be bothered about foes threatening his life anymore.He has been conceiving the thought about getting a child lately seeing that he was childless and needed an heir over all he has. Having resolved to go back to his formal way of life, Sebastian had decided never to get married again but to adopt a child for himself. That morning as he was preparing to go out, he got a text from Elon telling him about the business meeting he was having the next day in Los Angeles and his flight had been scheduled to leave that day.Vaguely unaware of these plans, Sebastian angrily calls Elon back to
The day became brighter as Romona's babies began to increase in height and so Romona began to feel the need to introduce them to their father. The winter season was over and Romana could not believe it was five years already. Lady Mary has been pestering Ramona on the need to go back to her husband and makeup with him but Romona has been adamant claiming she could raise her kids alone.As the family sat in the living room, Kayla, the one female amongst the boys came crying to Ramona, reporting Kain and Kelvin, her older brothers to her Mom.“ Mom, Kain takes to and doesn't want to give it to me” Kayla cried more, her eyes seeking comfort and justice.Lady Mary being a grandmother figure to the little children, carried Kayla and consoled and wiped off her tears. Soon, the two boys, Kain and Kelvin came running toward Ramona and Lady Mary.“ You boys, don't make your sister cry next time again, okay?” Lady Mary warned, putting Kayal down to have a word with Romona.Chuckling, the boys
In Australia, the buildings and roofs were covered with the first drop of snow reminding the residents that Winter was here. The previous season, Autumn, was favorable to Ramona and Her newfound family. Ramona glanced at her protruding baby bump and smiled. She was in her EDD. She couldn't believe that it was nine months already and she was expecting the arrival of her newborn.She rubbed her stomach with extra happiness ringing in her heart. That morning, Ramona sat on the bed of their three-bedroom apartment, heavy from the weight of her pregnancy. Australia has been a home of safety and protection for Ramona and her unborn. Life in New York City tore her to the bone but she was shielded from All of that tempest immediately she arrived in Australia. Ramona could still remember the one man she had ever loved. The scars and tumult were imprinted in her memory forever but the joy of his seed, ready to be born gave her a new hope. Her pregnancy was the only remains of Sebastian in
That morning, Brett, without any expectations, did come earlier to the company like everyone else. Engulfed by a serene environment with no tempest, Brett resumed his duty but was taken aback when Elon burst into the office with two policemen by his side and under a cold breath, he muttered”, What is happening here? What are you doing here with these men, Mr. Elon?” his eyes sparkled, fear written in them.“ You are under arrest, Mr Brett. You are advised to remain silent because whatever you say shall be used against you in the court of law” One of the Policemen said.Perplexed at the situation, Brett with up with yes fixated on Elon while his hands were handcuffed. “ This had been your plan all along, right? “ Brett with wide eyes glared at Elon, his breath, thrusting up and down like he would swallow up anyone who came to him.“Please take this man away. He had caused the CEO and the company too much havoc” Elon beacon on the policemen and walked away. Cold, shaken, and broken, Br
That day as Sebastian left Belle’s, he returned to the company to reflect on how foolish he was to have conceded with Kendra’s presence around him. The snake showed up at a challenging time to wreck what he suffered to build for years. After the day’s work, Sebastian stumbled into Brett taking a stroll outside the company to get a cab. He guessed his car developed a fault seeing Brett had never taken a cab home before. Without uttering a word to him, Sebastian zoomed past.Brett, for a second, stood gazing at the rate at which Sebastian’s car sped before retiring back to his phone. Belle’s phone conversation with Sebastian earlier was the reason he permitted Brett and Kendra another chance to breathe sterile air before he took his last revenge on them.For the wound in his heart, he planned to slaughter Brett and Kendra but at the mercy of Belle and Deacon, he spared them to take a night to tour the city otherwise, they might not get the chance to ever catch a glimpse of nature fo
