He slowly disengaged from the hug as he locked eyes with her who never stopped crying.Sebastian cleaned her tears with his thumb, and lifted her up to the air as he carried her to the bed.He made her lay on it, and slowly covered her body with the duvet, and turned on the lamp red light as he turned off the white light.“Have some rest, I'm sorry for stressing you. Ramona,if you get frustrated and stressed at work, please let me know, you can quit, I will just work harder to make the world a better place for us,” He whispered, and kissed her hair.“I'm not stressed. I really don't need to think about that bastard that left me with no piece to hold onto. Sebastian, I'm sorry, I almost let his deceitful words affect and ruin our relationship,” She apologized sincerely, and he smiled, stroking her gently.“Sleep okay, and forget about everything “ He was about to leave the room when Ramona held his hand. He turned around and faced her as he smiled.“I want to sleep with you in your roo
The next day, an alarm woke Ramona up as she forcefully opened her eyes, tapping the bed, she could not feel him beside her.She sprang up to see the room empty, he's not in the room. She sluggishly got off the bed and wore his oversized bedroom slippers, waking out of his room.Ramona went to her room, and took off the slippers. She went inside the washroom and had her bath.After bathing, Ramona stepped out of the washroom tying a towel around her wet body.She approached her closet and brought out a somber black notched collar A-line midi dress. Ramona dried the water off her naked body and wore the dress coupling it with a black heels.Ramona carried her tote bag, holding it in her hand, and took her phone from the nightstand.Fluffy jiggled around her, giving her puppy eyes. She hasn't been spending time with Fluffy.Ramona bent and kissed it cheek before proceeding to talk.“I'm sorry, Momma has been so busy, I will try and create time for you,” Ramona assured before leaving the
Ramona disengaged from the hug as she locked eyes with him.Elon left the rooftop without anyone telling him to do so. They had come to the rooftop for a private discussion but they couldn't have the discussion because of Ramona's presence.“Who??”“No one serious,” Ramona replied.“Harry Walker?” Ramona's eyes went down before going up to meet her eyes, and she nodded.“It's nothing serious, he's asking for a second chance because Maya cheated on him with David, Eleanor's boyfriend,” Ramona said and Sebastian sighed. He went to sit on the table that's on the rooftop and Ramona sat next to him.“Are you accepting him back?”“Never, Sebastian I married to you, remember that,” She replied and he smiled, giving her a side hug as he kissed her hair.“That's my woman. I have a little gift for you,” Ramona's eyes beamed at the sound of the word gift.“Let me see the gift,” Sebastian smiled as he brought out a black mini box..he opened it revealing a diamond ring and Ramona gasped.“Sebby,
*A FEW DAYS LATER, HILLI PENTHOUSE.Ramona opened her closet wearing a beautiful smile as she brought out black suit. She wore the black long pants, with a black crop singlet with a black blazer that passed her butt. The blazer is not fitted as it's free on her body as if she wore someone else's blazer and spiced her dressing up with a black pencil heels.Today is N.C group of companies fifth anniversary. Trying to dress corporate and at the same time beautiful.Ramona walked towards the mirror, and applied hair cream on her hair that she perm last weekend with Belle.She applied a touch of makeup on her face with a lip gloss then stepped out of the room holding a white tote bag with her cellphone.Ramona went downstairs to see Lady Mary who started smiling as soon as her eyes landed on Ramona. She planted a soft kiss on Ramona's forehead, then placed a toasted bread in her mouth afterward.“You are beautiful, I wish you are my first daughter,”“Lady Mary I'm daughter already, your fi
Ramona left Brett's side and went to stand beside Shirley as the event started. The CEO mounted the podium and started talking.Everyone listened to him, And after listening to him, a runaway show kicked off, handled by Mr Craig, and the model he used was from MH entertainment, Maya Hancock company.After the runaway, Belle came on the podium, showing out her latest cosmetic, that's a caxa up facial skin tool used to massage the face, to avoid wrinkles fasting on the face.Belle said her speech, and along the line, she stepped down off the podium approaching Shirley with the device, and everyone's eyes followed every bit of her movement.She massages Shirley's face with caxa up then Ramona's face.“This skin tool, will be a next innovation.

Ramona slowly opened her eyes, and she shut it back then slowly opened the eyes back. She scanned the room to see everyone in the room staring at her.She felt her body on a huge bed as if she's at home wearing a patient gown and the last thing she could remember was receiving Sebastian's call, feeling severe stomach pains then rolling the stairs as she sighted red heels.“Ramona, are you awake? Can you see me? How many fingers can you see?” Belle rushed to Ramona, rushing her words. Ramona glanced at her fingers, it's two.She glanced at her right hand side to see Sebastian and Deacon with Elon.Anna rushed to Ramona, and held her cheek tenderly. “My daughter, are you feeling? Can you talk?”“Mother, Belle,” Ramona called in a low tone, and the men gave Ramona their attention as Sebastian approached his wife who's lying on the hospital bed.“Are you okay?” Ramona nodded, and tried to sit upright when Sebastian stopped her, and smiled at her as he made her lay on the bed properly.“I
Belle stared at the door talking to Ramona and began to doubt if Ramona is hearing her. She knocked on the door, and heard her loud whimper, suddenly Belle could no longer hear her whimpers.She began to hit the door, struggling to open the door that was shut.“Mother, Ramona is silent and she locked the door. Please get the doctor,” Anna rushed out, dropping what she was doing.Belle rushed outside and hit Sebastian. “Ramona locked herself in the washroom and now I could barely hear her voice, she's silent, I'm worried. Mom has gone to call Nathaniel,” Belle rushed her words as they all ran back inside the ward.Sebastian hit the door hard, “Ramona,”No response. “Ramona,” Deacon called, no response.“If you are listening, please say something, you are scaring everyone,” No response.Soon, Anna, and the doctor came back with a maintenance man. He broke the handle of the toilet door, and the door slowly opened.They saw Ramona lying on the floor with her eyes, and Sebastian ran to her
Sebastian covered Ramona's body with a blanket as she stared at him. Her eyes are swollen due to tears. He sat on the stool, and held her hands, caressing it with care as he looked into her eyes.Sebastian smiled at her then kissed her forehead as he kept caressing her. “That was hallucination?”He nodded, “Why was it a hallucination? Why did I not realize I was pregnant during the period I was having those symptoms??” She questioned herself, and Sebastian just stared at her affectionately.“Don't blame yourself, it's my fault for not staying by your side, I should have joined you in the washroom. Ramona, don't you think you should quit your job, I will handle all the responsibilities myself,” “I'm not quitting any job, Sebastian I will be strong so we can make another baby. Don't blame yourself, okay, let me help you to handle the responsibilities too, remember my goal for you,” She said, and he chuckled.“You were serious about it?”“Sebastian, I meant every bit of the words I sai
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
