Late in the evening, Nathan's residence. He was working on his laptop in the living room when the security personnel came in to announce the august's visitor's presence. “ There's someone at the gate Sir and she's requesting to see you.” “She? Who's that?” As he asked he, checked the time. It was 7pm and quite late for a lady to visit him. Besides he couldn't remember asking anyone to visit him. “ I don't know Sir. She refused telling me her name.” “ Alright, send her in.” He went back to work and Dean descended the stairs with a bottle of water. He had been upstairs ever since he got back from work, he was tired and needed rest. The meeting had gone smoothly and they were able to agree on something. Dean had his ways around and he always succeeded in convincing his clients. Nathan on the other hand was not really as good as Dean but he is quite good in paperwork and making sure the money rolls in. He had no time to talk for hours trying to convince a bunc
“ I do. I'm serious Megan, this old chap here found someone” Dean replied grinning from ear to ear while Nathan facepalmed. It's barely been minutes together and they're already doing this. “ No fucking way. Nathan? Other things I can believe but this? I can't buy this story please.” They were both talking about him like he wasn't even there with them. “ Yes way. Believe or not, your brother is off the single hood. He's old anyways, he should get married.” “ Why do you people derive joy from picking on me? It's barely minutes since Megan stepped into this house but I'm loosing it already.” He complained and they laughed at it. “ Congrats Lewis. Mom would be so proud, I still can't believe you moved on. What's that girl's name again? The one who he was so in love with?” She was snapping her fingers and trying to recall. “ Caryn.” Dean said and she screamed, “ Yesss, that's the one, Caryn. I'm glad you finally got over her. I thought you were going to give u
Megan woke up at 7am and quickly brush her teeth, did her bed and ran down the stairs. She was famished and she was also eager to spoil someone's day. As she dashed down the stairs, she hummed softly and inhaled deeply. Whatever that was, she needed a bite. The aroma alone was appetizing and she followed the scent all the way to the dining table which had already been set for one. “ Good morning ma'am. Hope you slept well?” Gemma asked as she dropped the pack of juice on the table. “ Oh, Hi there. Good morning, I slept quite well. How about you?” “ I slept well ma'am. Please have a seat..”She drew out the chair for Megan and Megan smiled at her. Took her seat and Gemma served her meal, there were so many dishes to choose from. She knew this was Nathan's doing, considering the fact that she had slept without eating yesterday. “ Do you want anything else ma'am? Sir Nathan asked us to prepare this, I hope you like it?” A warm smile brightened up her
“ What is it? We are adults right? I will like to hear what you think,” Said Carolina who was not in the least kidding, “ Why's there a red flush on your face? Don't tell me you are embarrassed.”Of course she was. She had never had such conversation with anyone but hearing her mom bring it up now, was just something she couldn't deal with. They spent hours talking and Ava's face grew red with every word said. How could these women talk about it so shamelessly? “ Well, that's all for today. Hope you learnt a thing or two?” Carolina questioned rolling her eyes at Ava who was dumbfounded, “ What is it? You learn stuffs like this in the classroom, Ava. I'm shocked you didn't...” There was a pause before Ava answered for it recalled an episode she did not care to remember. “ Well, that's because I skipped such classes.” With a shocking expression, Carolina yelled, “ Young lady, you did what?” Ava who was very relaxed, shrugged and muttered, “ I skipped those classes. I
“ What's the worst that could happen?”Other than being disowned, she thought. Yes, that's the highest they could do to her. “ It's such a shame to see how isolent you have become. I'm not surprised, Alex's blood runs through your veins. I'm lucky I could save Ava. She's not a bad blood as you are,” Carolina who was angry, lost her cool and glared up at Avery. “ You disgust me, Avery. I feel so ashamed to be referred to as your mother.” “ Lina, calm down. It has not gotten to this..” Grandma held her hand trying to soothe her angry nerves but Carolina yanked her hand off, “ Don't tell me to calm down, Mother. I have lost it totally, I really cannot deal with this brat any longer. I wish you died during delivery, Avery Alexander!” There was pin-drop silence as Avery stood rooted to the floor. Mouth agape and tears beginning to form. This hurt far more than getting disowned. She had gotten much more than she bargained for. With chest heaving up and down and the rapid b
Megan was done with cooking. She had made it specially for Nathan who had gone to work without eating. There was no way she was going to stay in this house and watch him go to work on an empty stomach. She packed it into a blue food flask and went upstairs to freshen up again for the umpteenth time. “ The food looks so good and tastes good too.” Gemma complimented and the rest girls shook their heads in agreement. They were in the kitchen with her while she cooked but she did not allow them to do nothing. When she was done, she had Ashley serve each worker in the house. She had made enough for everyone. They were quite shocked at first. No one had expected her to be a good cook. Her meal tasted so nice that they believed she had once attended a culinary school. “ I'm still surprise a rich kid can cook this well.” Ashley said while eating. “ So you didn't know? They had not always been rich, Ashley. In fact if you heard their story, you would weep. They wer
Love? He really couldn't call it love and certainly not lust either. He just couldn't explain the chemistry between them. He had never felt this way for anyone even with Caryn. How come some random girl could affect him this way? He pondered on what Megan had asked and relaxed on the executive chair. Love? Maybe this was far more greater than love. What they seem to share was far more greater than love. Shocking it was, they had just met and they were already in love? How possible was it? He still remembered how she shivered when Dean caught her that night in the garage. He never wanted her to feel that way, again. He would teach her to be strong, she was already courageous so it would be quite easy. He chuckled when he thought about how she could be brave this moment and timid the next. This Fluffy Bear who had dared chase him even when she knew he would be so hard to get, that same little bear was scared of little things such as Megan disliking her. He saw how tensed up
The scuffle that had ensued this morning shorty after breakfast baffled Ava. She had never seen her mother act this way. Maybe she was prompted by Avery's callous behavior. She had stood there and seen it all but she never for once stepped in to plead on Avery's behalf. Her mind drifted far away and she reflected on what Avery had said earlier on. “ He's not her man. She's just another contracted girlfriend.” How discourteous! Coming from someone who's her twin sister. Someone she would sacrifice her life and happiness for. Just this once, just this once she had gotten something she truly wanted but Avery could never be happy for her. “ Avery Alexander, you have lost the right to call me mother.” Lina concluded and caught everyone off guard. “ Lina, you shouldn't make decisions while an..” Grandfather suggested while trying to step in but Carolina had her mind made up already. “ Father, please...” casting a glance or Grandma who was mute, Carolina exhal
[ Warning! This Chapter Contains Mature Content Not Suitable For Young Readers.] He gently unzipped my dress and the gown fell to ground. His gaze was causing more bad than good. It made me crave him more. I stepped out of it, our gaze still locked. In the past one second, Nathan has stared at my body in awe countless times. And here I was in the middle of some airplane, half naked with just my panties on. What if someone walked in? “ I will go change now. Hey, stop staring at me like that. It makes me want you more.. you have to promise to be a good boy and behave. We will have all the time in the world to worship each other's body when we are off this airplane.” “ I never said I planned to be a good boy, Aviva. Maybe I was but I changed my mind the moment I saw your smoking hot body. I really can't promise to keep my hands to myself, princess.” And he was being honest. I could make out the hunger in his voice as he spoke. I had starved this man
Hi, lovelies, I'm so excited to be back. I took a break but now, I'm are back fully. I'm so sorry for the delay. Ava and Nathan's love story is about to end.. We have just a chapter or two more to go.. And also for this last part of the book, I will be making use of the first person POV. Enjoy!! ***** “ Do you, Aviva Alexander, take Nathan Lewis to be your lawfully wedded husband?” Silence. The buzzing hall was now as silent as a graveyard. I'm sure you could hear just how loud one's heart pounded if you listened keenly. I smiled at Nathan, he had tears running freely down his face. Today, he dropped the “ Strong, arrogant CEO who doesn't give a fuck about anyone” and in it's stead, was a handsome young man who was capable of loving someone. In him I saw someone who was tamed to love, someone who doesn't know just how much love he's capable of giving because he has never given it a try. “ Uhm, I don't know if you noticed fluffy bear, but they are a
“ Nathan!” What was she doing here? It's a modeling audition for crying out loud. Nathan and Aviva folded their arms and watched her yell and whine about him being married. “ Caryn, can you slow down? By the way, who's married to you?” he asked and all eyes were fixed on them. This would serve as good entertainment while the judges were away tabulating the scores. “ Nathan Lewis, I will not have you humiliate me this way. I won't! Now, get up and let's go home.” she ordered like some boss who was passing out instructions to her employees. “ I'm not going anywhere, just yet Caryn. You can either have your seat and enjoy the show or you can choose to leave. Whichever works for you, my lady.” “ Are you being serious here? You're doing all this because of this, this ugly, classless girl? Are you not ashamed being seen with her? I'm pretty disappointed in you, Nathan. We have sophisticated, elegant and smart ladies in this city but you choose to chea
Modeling Audition, Semi-final & final. “ Nervous? I believe you will do perfectly well. You scaled through the last round remember? You will get through this also. We are rooting for you, Aviva.” “ Oh my goodness, this is the first time I have ever heard you say something positive. Thank you so much, Avery. I love you so much..” “ Girls, they are about to start. Come over.” Alex called out. Avery stared at her sister, she was grateful she had everyone back. They held hands and walked into the hall which was filled to the brim with people. Luckily, Alex had been able to secure seats for them all. “ Good day, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to the semi finals/ finals. We are pleased to see you all. After the first round, hundred people were screened out and only twenty were qualified to move on to the next stage.” “ Well, only five people will be taken from this round to go on to the final round where we will pick only two persons. B
“ Mom. I got the money and narrowly escaped death. Someone else has been framed for stealing the money.” she informed her mom on phone and the lady went hysterical. “ You got it? That's my girl. You're just like your mom, Caryn. I'm so proud of you, darling.” “ Thank you mom. I will transfer half of the money to Dad's account. I want his company to be back on its feet for good.” “ Alright love. Your father sends his regards. One more thing Caryn, be careful out there.” “ I will. I love you, I have to go now.” They were outside, with ears glued on her door. They had heard it all, but Nathan beckoned on them to follow him. They tiptoed, to avoid being heard. “ Now that we have gotten concrete evidence, what do we do next?” Hazel interrogated. “ We will let her keep the money. I'm gathering a lot of evidence and by the end of the day, she would be left with nothing. All she stole right now, is the alimony I'm supposed to pay a
“ What's going on?” There was absolute silence. If a pin had fell down, there was every certainty it would be heard. She walked in and met her beloved family in a state of distraught. She was sure they had heard the news already. “ Nathan honey, what is it? Why are you all seated there like some bunch of robots? Talk to me, somebody.” if there was one thing she was good at, it was pretense. She threw her shoes on the floor and rested her head on the couch. If they were not going to talk, then she would let them be. It was difficult to breathe as she felt a sharp pain around her neck. No one had expected it, not even Caryn herself. Nathan held her tightly around her neck, his fingers tightened every second, and his nails dug deeper into her skin. It wouldn't be long before she started bleeding. “ What are you doing, Nathan? Put her down!” Dean yelled but Nathan was no longer in control. He was infuriated and couldn't even hide it. “ N
The dim light in the room made it a bit easy to see. These days she kept her curtains closed and the lamp, off. Today, she felt switching on a candle would be better. She had been in bed all day, doing nothing but mope. Her door moved slowly, and the dim light barely made it easy to see the lady's face. The woman who had birthed her, but now, it felt like they were two strangers meeting for the first time. Lina had walked in, without the tiniest courtesy of knocking. Ever since the issues with Ava, her family treated her like a complete outcast, her dad not excluded. They avoided her like a plague. The only activity that brought them together as a family, was eating at the dinning table. On most days, she would have her meal upstairs in her room. She decided to tag along to Ava's audition, not because she was invited but she felt like going. Rolling her eyes and heaving a deep sigh, she rolled to the other end of the bed. Her back was turned to Carolina,
Now he knew why Dean made that prayer yesterday. He knew she was a bad cook but he didn't think it would be this bad. What happened last night was a mistake that would never repeat itself. Penne pasta with vodka sauce and some parmesan cheese. After the funny but useful prayer from Dean, they all grabbed their cutleries and proceeded to feast on the meal she had made. Dean went first and spat it out the moment it got into his mouth. “ Hell nah, I'm not doing this. I'm not doing this with y'all, I will ask the maid to make me something.” “ But it's really not that bad, Dean. Just close your eyes and chew quickly. Caryn you are such a good cook, no doubts.” Hazel spoke, forcing a spoonful of poison into her mouth. “ Do you like it? I did well, right?” she asked innocently. Nathan nodded, they all nodded. Hazel made Dean take a few more spoons of the terrible concoction she made. And for a sec, they had initially thought it wouldn't be as bad as
“ Why does the room look like someone went through our things.” he inquired after taking a thorough look around the room. Something wasn't right, the drawers had items sticking out. The wardrobe wasn't properly closed, the pillows were wrongly arranged and the bed looked like someone had jumped on them. With a smile of deceit, she rubbed her palms and walked closer. Nervously, she asked. “ What do you mean?” her voice was shaky and her heart was pounding so loudly. “ I mean..” but on second thoughts, there was really no need to engage her in a conversation or questions her, knowing fully well she would deny ever searching for only God knows what, thereby turning the house into a mess. “ Nothing. Hazel is home, she lost her baby. I thought you should know.” he said with his gaze fixed on nothing in particular. “ Poor little thing. I will go check on her later, she must be feeling so sad at the moment.” Playing along, he replied.“ Yeah, she
