The feel of the light weight cotton pressed against her sweaty palms as she tightened her hold on the handkerchief, threatening to squeeze life out of it ,did very little to gain her attention . She stared at the glass portrait frame of the famous Billionaire Antonio Resmella hanging at the wall just close to his office,her heart rate tripled in speed as she watched every tick of her clock go by . “Irene Maria!” she heard a cracking voice inside the room where all her attention was buried into “Irene, you got this , just be the natural you have always been, babe” Mabel said, trying all she could to get Irene in the right mood for her interview. Their both hands were intertwined together Mabel has been friends with Irene since they were four , Irene and Mabel’s mom worked together as chefs at the Baga restaurant there in Spain ,a small restaurant but very popular for the delicious recipes they produced. Irene’s dad died of a heart attack only when she was fifteen, Irene's
Antiono in the middle of his frustration shifted backwards, Irene falling down straight to the floor ,she was frozen ,she couldn't move an inch. “Miss Irene , what was that for,am I some joke to you,where you sent here,”Antonio shouted angrily looking down at Irene who just laid on the floor “Am_ s sorry sir,I tripped mistakenly. I would take my leave now. Irene said as she used her hands as a support to get up from where she laid ,she already made up her mind that she wasn't going anywhere close to getting this job ,not after her short embarrassing drama,she just wished the ground would open up and swallow her up. She was about drawing the handle of the door when Antoino's hand drew her closer towards him . He stared at her eyes for several long seconds. “Am not done with you Miss Irene”,his eyes piercing deep into hers. Irene removed her gaze from the imposing figure in front of her ,she looked down at the floor her heart pounding fast as Antonio's hands let go of her d
Antiono flipping through the pages of files kept in front of him, tried not to groan aloud at the pains throbbing through his head. He has been at his desk for hours ,his gaze fixed to the gold watch attached to his wrist .Six hours to be exact .Yet even as he sat facing the man who held the company's annual profit firmly within his grasp , Antiono couldn't stop his thought from wandering to the petite blonde who was in his house. What was she doing? how was she coping with the twins? Antonio almost cursed out loud, how could he have left his kids with a complete stranger he didn't know.Even as the thought passed through his mind, Antiono kept his face placid and calm.His guest didn't even appear to notice his distractions . instead he carried on talking . “Antiono the company’s sales is at a higher chance of increasing here ,if we invest with this Nitel brothers , I know you are new to this whole contract,but trust me, your still young, you don't know how this things work, it
Switching on the corridor light, Antiono tiptoed into the kids room, What he saw amazed him , Isabella laying softly on Irene's lap,her long black curly hair suited smoothly on Irene's fair lap, Tommy's thumb tucked into his mouth with his eyes firmly close as he laid on Irene's chest. Irene's hand holding a book,as the other hand held Tommy closer to her. It was adorable,he felt warmth in his heart as he gazed down at an adorable scene he hadn't seen in a long time. He held Tommy as he drew him up and laid him down at his bed , he drew Isabelle too who was now half awake, he patted her back as she gave into sleep,he carried her up and laid her on her bed . Looking at the blonde who had made him feel this way Antonio stretched out his hands ,as he flexed his fingers on Irene's face ,She was beautiful he thought as he laid out his arms carried her into the room next to the kids ,he laid her down, Irene let out a deep sigh as she drew Antonio closer to her, unconscious of what she w
In the midst of her confusion,Irene bumped into her Ex lover Charles Davenport. She quickly hide herself over the next shelf in the supermarket pushing down some beverages from the shelves. “Is this a dream, What!!, really, Charles?”,she kept repeating the same words over and over. Amongs the people Irene cherished the most was Charles Davenport, a young talented business man who had so many business ideas but less sponsors,he knew Irene at a very tender age, they became more intimate at high school where they shared their first kiss ,and yeah they were the then famous prom king and queen at Saint Hills Academy. Charles traveled out of Spain to the states to pursue his business Career. On her attempt to look at her surprising Ex lover ,she fell over . “Ouch”.Irene yelled out as she pulled out her sneakers , holding her foot “Irene! is that you?”. Charles said looking surprisingly at Irene. Irene quickly grabbed her groceries and headed out of the supermarket without looking at C
Charles stared at the old clock patiently waiting for his sister to finish dressing up.He gazed at the picture of Irene he had from the prom night,She looked astonishing , even now she looked more beautiful. He had missed Irene so much and he regretted why he made that decision at first. “What took you so long Morgan”. Charles asked as he stretched out his hands to aid his sister as she came down the stairs One good fact about the Davenport family was that they were people with a gentle character,they showed it wherever they went.And of course they were good looking .“I had to put my makeup on,and you don't expect me to rush with it”. Morgan said as she placed her hands on her brother’s hands ,she gave her brother a peck on both cheek.“You look amazing Charles”. She said smiling at Charles “You too ,now let's go”. Charles said as he pulled the door handle for this sister.“By the way, where are we to go first, Mom's,or Uncle Josh’s house?”. Morgan asked, staring at Charles who wa
The sweet smell of the gazpacho soup emanating from the kitchen left both the kids and Antonio gasping for breath, Wasn't Irene just the perfect cook . The soup was a local delicacy Irene’s mom prepared for them on special occasions, a soup made majorly of tomatoes. Irene prepared it with all the love she had for her mom's cooking. She really missed those good old days.She wondered when she would be able to go home. “Dress up Tommy, Grandma and Grandpa will be here soon”. Isabella yelled as she ran her brush down her long curly hair “Okay what are you kids up to”. Antiono said as he grabbed Tommy's petite suit,he helped Tommy wear his suit which fitted in perfectly. “You look just like a prince charming my good man”. Antiono said as he stared proudly at Tommy. Tommy was just like him when he was his age , with the same brown eyes and curly hair. Isabella, almost done with her hair, ran to her daddy to zip up her dress, Irene came in with her shoes as she helped her fit into it .
“Charles Davenport speaking” “Hello mister Charles, this is Mr Ethan on the line, I am calling on behalf of my boss Antiono Rasemela who is currently not on seat in acceptance of the business proposal your company made with Rasemela's company on the 28th of July 2007”. “Alright, I want to see your boss Antiono, can I get an appointment for that”. Charles said, looking at himself as he adjusted his tie in front of his mirror. “My boss?, I would get you an appointment since you are making a business deal with our company, by the way I am Ethan, his assistant secretary in charge of business deals in this company”. Mr Ethan said as he looked into Antiono's schedule for the week. “Okay Mr Ethan thanks for calling bye now”. He hanged up Heaving a deep sigh of relief, Charles for a second thought Antiono wouldn't accept his business proposal,of course he never wanted to partner with his company,he was only doing this for Irene. Irene got the kids dressed up for school, made breakfast
“What's wrong Antonio, you seem unease today”. Irene asked Antonio as he started the car engine Keeping silent he waited for the traffic light to reflect green “Am fine, nothing is wrong”. He replied gradually moving the car straight ahead The trip to Irene's house was a very quiet one , Irene felt awful seeing Antonio like that and not doing anything about it “I was thinking maybe we could go out on a date or something”. Irene said gently finally breaking the silence Unfortunately for her Antonio was lost in thought,he thought about his father treating the innocent woman he called mother like trash just because of a child He also thought of his own children,how would they react when they knew about his history,his mind scrolling through many uncertainties “How's that to you?”. Irene asked staring at Antonio who was just driving the car swiftly Irene knew he wasn't listening,but she enjoyed it whenever Antoino had the wheel’s under his control,it felt as though he was peddling
“I haven't come to tell you this to change your mood about your father,I know I should have done more to draw you by my side and I am deeply sorry about that,I just thought it wise to let you know the truth before anything happens to me”. Parker said standing on his feet to leave Antonio observed him carefully,he had the same body structure as Antonio,the same brown eye ball, and Antonio had the slightest one precent guess that what he was saying was true.Antonio had always known they was something amist with his father Martian Rasemela,he wondered why a man like him after having a son would go ahead and get married to another woman It all made sense now,The woman Antonio had called mother for the past twenty seven years of his life wasn't his biological mother ****A RECAP BACK TO THE PAST****“I love you Teresa but we need children, who's going to take after me when am gone, who's going to bear my name when am gone”. Martian said slowly, looking depressed Teresa breathed slowly
Sofia fumed with rage as she sat on her office chair “How dare she,how dare that brat come to claim him when she was the cause of all this”. Sofia said breathing heavily She was annoyed with the fact that Antonio had to dismiss her for Irene, even after all she had done for him“There is no way she's going to take him from me,not under my breath”. Sofia said angrily as she stared her eyes angrily staring at everything that she could possibly place her eyes on *******Antonio dropped Irene off,she went home that same day not because she was annoyed,but because she had to stay with her mother and Alan“I will miss you”. Antonio said starring at Irene who just looked away through the window Heaving a deep breath Irene spoke up “You can always come visit,it is not like I am going to another country all together”. Irene said not looking botheredAntonio nodded his head in affirmation “Call me if you need anything, also don't stress yourself, please also inform me whenever you're goi
He hurriedly picked up the plate filled with the food as he dived into the eating aspect Even without brushing Antoino eat up the food as though he hadn't eaten for months When he was finally done,he smiled at Irene who just stood smiling at him I'm disbelief “I miss you”. Antonio said giving out a slight beige Irene nodded her head in agreement,she brought out the lovely creamy chocolate cake she baked,serving it with a chilled bottle of smoothie “Have this too”. Irene said cutting up the cake for him Antonio knew at that point that he was never going to let Irene go ever againHe took a bite of the cake “O my God”. Antonio exclaimed as he dropped his fork on the plate Irene laughed at him “I think I know why you got so slim”She said Antonio starred at himself “You don't eat enough,or rather you can't cook”. “That's why I have you”. Antonio said laughing Just then the door bell rang “I get that”. Irene said heading to the door It was the same face she met the first day
The night was cold, Irene laid softly on her bed, she recalled the days she and Antonio had slept together on the same bed.“I should leave you now to get some rest”. Antonio said softly switching off the light Irene nodded, she knew Antonio is probably worried about his unborn children, that's why he wouldn't be the Antoino he used to be It was three months and few days before her deliverySoon after, Irene dozed off , sleeping gently Antonio opened the door to check if everything was fine with her, when he saw her fast asleep He walked closer to her observing her features It was still the same Irene he knew only that she had gotten a little bit fatter and more beautiful Antonio starred at the innocent face right in front of him,the same face that made him fall sick countlessly, and the same face that probably would have been the reason he killed himself Bending on his knees,he held Irene’s hands gently,he kissed it slowly “Don't ever leave me again”. He whispered gently Ire
Antonio had just finished having a warm bath,he was ready for bed that night.He walked around his room trying to place his head on what had just happened earlier today.“It felt so good to finally hear , from her”. Antonio said feeling satisfied Just then the door bell rang, he wasn't sure if he had heard correctly.The door bell persisted , he wore his casual cloth to see who wasIt was probably Peter, Antonio thought as he went to get the door Without looking through the window to see who it was he opened up the door To his amusement,it was Irene, dressed in a red wine dress,she was looking so beautiful and stunning that night,the light flashing on her like she was a spotlight of an event.“Hey, good evening”. Irene said waving slowly Antonio stood still, unable to move,he kept watching her as stood in front of him“Can I spend the night here?”. She asked politely,with the same look she had when they first met at Antonio’s office Antonio just saw himself nodded,he actually tho
Antonio was seated comfortably on his couch,he hadn't gone to work that day because he had a little fever. His assistant Sofia came over to take care of him. Just then Peter rang the door bell.“I would get the door”. Sofia said as she quickly went over to open the door Peter greeted Sofia warmly as he headed in to see his friend “Man, you gotta be kidding me,you eat all this?”. Peter asked surprised Antonio smiled at him “Sofia is probably the best when it comes to stuffing me with food”. Antonio responsed,he stood up weakly to hug Peter “Am happy you're here”. Antonio said smiling as he changed the TV channel to a football game.“Boss,I would take my leave now”. Sofia said as she carried her handbag “Thank you Sofia, I really appreciate this”. Antonio said waving at herShe smiled as she left the building “What's her deal though,is she in love with you or something?”. Peter asked suddenly Antonio laughed out loudly “Sofia can't fall in love”. He replied “You never know”
A MONTH LATER …..“I should probably get going mom”. Alan said That was his first day in college,he got into the pokemon medical academy.Lucia was the happiest seeing his son dressed in his medical uniform “Am proud of you Alan,try avoiding those girls”. Irene said smiling at her brother Alan went closer to his sister as he hugged her“Take care of yourself,and mom you too”. He said hugging his mother “Bye my baby,be respectful to the senior Doctors and nurses okay,pay attention”. Lucia said shouting to Alan who was already down stairs running to catch up with his bus.She suddenly turned to Irene who was laying on the bed“And you my friend,what would you be doing today”. Lucia asked Irene “Well i would be going to work today,I would stop by the supermarket to get some few supplies for the bakery”. Lucia smiled “Make sure you are home before six , okay”. She said pecking Irene on the forehead as she stood up“But mom do you have to go”. Irene asked frowning her face “I have
“The doctor said she needs time to get back her memories”. Antonio said taking a sip of his drink as he spoke to Peter Peter nodded his head in agreement “That's fair,but did she recognize you?”. Peter asked curiously “I haven't seen her since then ,her mom and brothers were present, you know,I just had to give them some family time together”. Antonio said scratching his hair “Are you sure that's the reason you didn't see her?”. Peter asked smiling Antonio gave a short laughed.“What if she doesn't even want to see my face,what if she's still angry with me”.“Dude,who in there right senses would stay angry with a handsome young man like you for like five months, she's probably forgotten what even started the conflict between you two” . Peter said confidently relaxing his back on the couch He heaved a deep sigh “Men, it's been a long while since I came into this house,I would give up lots of things to spend my day in this relaxing house of yours”. Peter said closing his eyes com
