Cyrus glanced through the mirror to take a look at his boss when he noticed the disturbed expression on his face.' why is the boss looking disturbed?', he thought to himself but ignited the car by pressing the start button." Cyrus", Christian suddenly called," Yes sir", he answered taking a quick look through the mirror," Is it true she might feel lonely and upset that I left?"," Who?","Never mind", he said and looked away leaving Cyrus confused but he shrugged at it and concentrated back on his driving." Okay my wife", Christian answered when Cyrus shrugged it off," Your.. your wife?", he said and remembered oh yes! The boss is married, I haven't gotten used to that yet', he said in his mind." She was sleeping when we arrived at the resort so I couldn't bid her bye before coming to the meeting"," Was it her honeymoon?"," Yeah","Oh, of course, sir, she would be pissed, she didn't even tell her before leaving her alone in a resort and which husband leaves his wife on her we
Patricia felt so bad as she realized what she had done to her daughter and wondered how bad she must have felt. She was overwhelmed with guilt as she stepped into the house, she didn't know how to face her but she also wanted to let her know that she was so sorry. She proceeded to Alice's room, her heart beating so fast, afraid she'd open her room and find her crying or feeling sad but she was going to assure her that she'd get her back what was rightfully hers but opening the door slightly, she peeped and saw her daughter dancing and doing a tik tok challenge.Patricia sighed. ' I'm glad she's having a good time', she said in her mind and closed the door. She was glad to see her daughter not being moody and she smiled," Don't worry Alice, Christian is yours, and I'll make sure of it, don't worry baby, he's always yours", she said and smirked.****************The maids peeped at Clarisse who was sitting down quietly still not picking any dress. A maid walked up to another who was d
Clarisse pushed him away as she jumped up, her heart was racing and she felt uncomfortable to be that close to him but she immediately regretted it as she began to think that might have upset him and what if he beat her up like Victor did.Christian reached out to her just then and she jumped back trembling, dodging her face with her arms, this act surprised him but then he clenched his fist and gritted his teeth.She must have suffered some kind of abuse to have reacted that way.Clarisse brought down her hand slowly when she felt nothing and saw him smiling at her," What's wrong princess? Why do you jump? I don't bite", he said and moved closer to the dresses.She was surprised he didn't hit her, and she became curious about what his deal was." I'm told you refused all the dresses, is there none that's up to your taste?", he asked and looked at her, " tell me what you prefer, and I'll bring down every designer here till you find your choice "," Umm..thanks, but.., I want. my dres
On getting to the sitting room, she stood transfixed on seeing who it was, her heart began to race, she had forgotten about him and here he was, standing in front of her with a bouquet of rose flowers." Victor?"." Hey, Alice", he stood before her smiling but Alice wasn't smiling back." What are you doing here?"," Uh..."," Why didn't you tell me you were coming?", she asked not letting him talk," I wanted to inform you but you were not picking up my calls or replying to my texts"," You should know that's because I'm busy"," Of course, sure, that's why I came to surprise you", he said smiling and extending the bouquet forward.Alice eyed the flowers and sat on the couch, " just drop it there", she pointed at the table." Um, okay", he placed it on the table." So what are you doing here?"," I want to take you out, you know, go on a date"," And what makes you think I'm interested in going on a date with you?"." Uhh", Victor was confused, " I thought..."," I don't know what's
Christian and Clarisse stepped out of the car after the Chauffeur parked the car." Is this..where I'll be living now?", Clarisse asked in her mind as she stood before the magnificent building, " I guess we'll be living together with his family", she said in her mind referring to Christian's parents and siblings.The building is so huge, it wasn't just a penthouse, but also a mansion. She walked into the house carefully, afraid that she'd stain the wall, even the wall screamed wealth making her feel inferior. The luxury cars, beautiful garden, and the heavenly and suffocating environment were nothing compared to what was instead and she ended up gasping before she could restrain herself.' how can someone have a whole paradise in his home?', she said in her mind and her eyes wandered around, ' these people are no doubt powerful and wealthy, if a family can have all these inside a living room, there's no doubt that they're very wealthy, billionaires if not trillionaires', she nodded a
Clarisse strangely felt her heart melt, heavy at the same time, she smiled with teary eyes as she stared at herself in the mirror. She looked so beautiful in the new dress, she didn't even think it would fit her like this nor did she imagine she'd ever end up wearing a new dress, it wasn't oversized, it wasn't dirty nor shabby, it was beautiful, well fitted that she couldn't help but like and admire it.There was a time she desperately wished for one, a time she thought she'd be a Cinderella that a prince would come for, wishing for a new dress, a shoe for her soar feet but those hopes vanished, those wishes became an unreachable imagination but here they are again, it felt so different this time, so unreal that she doesn't trust anything, not even the moment she put it on.' What pain would come if I await the inevitable, what heartache would come if I await the inevitable harsh words, there's no betrayal if there's no trust, there's no disappointment if there are no expectations', s
Clarisse groaned as the reflection of the sun shone into her eyes, she moaned as she turned around. Just then she heard the door open and then close, she pretended to still be asleep afraid the person who came in was Christian, she didn't want to see him or have any conversation with him and she hated the fact that he was the first person she's going to be seeing as she opened her eyes in the morning.She heard footsteps going towards the window side and the curtain was drawn open causing the light to penetrate the room further thankfully she was backing the window." I think it's time to wake up ma'am", she heard a man's voice say but the voice wasn't Christian's. She sprang up to see who the strange man was and saw a man who seemed to be in his middle fifties." Good morning ma'am", he greeted with a smiles and bowed slightly." Good morning sir", she jumped up and bowed also.Her attitude was amusing to the man whose smile deepened, " I'm not sir ma'am, please call me Clinton, and
" Is she okay? Did she fail to see me because of yesterday?", Christian asked himself as he stood in front of her door, contemplating whether to go in or not but he chose to just leave for work. Meanwhile, Clarisse was instead, having a moment of herself as she murderously tore the lap of the roasted chicken apart, shoving it into her mouth and reaching out to the bangers and then the fluffy mashed potatoes." Hmm..uhh", she moaned as she kept enjoying the meal. At one point, her eyes got teary with her mouth stuffed with food, on her right hand was a wing of chicken and her left hand was a spoon. She got emotional."This is the best meal ever", she chuckled as tears rolled down her cheeks, " and I'm going to enjoy it while it lasts", she said and resumed eating very fast like it was going to be snatched away from her soon.*****************" He isn't that hardworking or righteous he just like being in the limelight", worker A said with disdain," You forgot to add that he's also an
