Chapter Forty - Stupid Paupers!

last update Last Updated: 2024-01-29 22:08:23

My heart raced, while I drove hastily, down street. It was just all about Roseville, my fiancée that filled my mind. I didn't really bother much about the office matter. I knew I was probably needed to sign some documents and maybe, for some inquiries.

As I got to the office, I was met by two good-looking men, on customized black suits. My PA was quite wrong earlier, when he referred to them as clients. I could tell they were either investigators sent by the government, or any other authority, or business owners, as well; the latter being more probable. Perhaps that was what they tagged themselves as, and it what they provided to him as their identity, as they came in.

"Good day, gentlemen!" I greeted, I got closer to where they sat, extending my hand for a handshake.

"Good day, sir. Are you Mr Bernard Alexander, the CEO?" One of them asked, narrowing his gaze at me.

"Yes, I am. Who are you and how can I help you?" I replied, confidently and took my seat, fixing my gaze at them.

    Roseville's POVGoing back to my fiancé was one of the best decisions I've ever made, all my life. One could tell I wasn't really comfortable with the comeuppance of my sudden absence to him. We were indeed distant apart, but not in heart.Since he had blatantly refused to reply to my texts, I came to the conclusion that he didn't want me anymore. It has been hell for me, all these while. Although he seemed to be going through a whole lot, that wasn't reason enough for him to gaily ignore my texts. Well, I wasn't telepathic. How was I supposed to know how he felt? All I knew of, was that I really dislike being ignored and it makes me feel so unimportant.As he called, days later, I didn't bother picking up, since I didn't want to talk to him anymore. When he came visiting, I shut him out too. I was unruffled and adamant to his pleas. I didn't just want to see him anymore or listen to whatever thing it was that he was blabbing about.

    "So, as we were saying,..." The doctor began, in a husky voice. He adjusting his glasses to get a clearer view of me."Now, he's gone, we have almost the whole day to ourselves," he said, grinning happily."Yes doctor," I returned the smile, anticipating for what next he wanted to say. "We're so lucky we've come this far, without being caught. Remember, the deal depends on you. You have more responsibilities to this. So try not to bungle it, else that spells doom. Doom for the both of us!" He explained, looking intently at me."Yes, I know doctor. I'd try my best to avoid suspicion," I promised."That's good," he consented.There was a short moment of silence. I was bothered by my thoughts all the while he talked. There was this one thing I was really skeptical about. "How about the belly bulge? How do we prove to him that I am pregnant?" I was deeply concerned."You have nothing to worry about, Roseville," he comforted. "I have everything sorted out already. You'll just have to

    "What is it Ben? What happened to you? What's the problem?" I was concerned about his sudden change of mood.He kept silent instead, casting suspecting glances at me and my belly."Your belly wasn't like this earlier," he observed, staring at my belly intently.I was shocked to hear that. I thought he won't notice the sudden change."Oh really?" I raised my furrowed eyebrows."Yes Roseville. Something must have haven't," he inferred."Something like what?" I wanted to know what he meant by that."I can't say for sure, but something must have definitely happened," his words sent shivers down my spines."Ben, you know I'm pregnant, right?" I directed my gaze to him."Of course I do, but I saw you earlier today and your tummy wasn't this big. It couldn't have grown this much in hours time." he was too quick to point out."So, what are you insinuating? That it was made up? Come on, Ben! The test results are there, you could call the doctor to confirm it as well, if you don't believe me "

    It was a happy Saturday morning and the happiest day of my life! The sun rose early, lending credence to the expectation of a beautiful day. I stare through my window, to be greeted by the lovely view of the exterior. Everything gave me a reason to smile and be grateful. I was getting married today, I couldn't help but beam with smiles, as I admired my reflection on the large mirror. I was putting on a sparkling white wedding gown, that fit perfectly, making me look like an angel. Luckily, my burgling tummy wasn't too obvious too. The tailor really did a great job. My makeup also was topnotch, thanks to the makeup artist. We drove quickly to the court, hardly saying a word to each other. The silence wasn't helping, but we just had to keep it, as we were bereft of words to say to each other. We got to the court, not too long after. Our witnesses were already there waiting, while the registrar was yet to come.I stood there in the courtroom, with my would-be husband by my side, waitin

It was indeed a beautiful day for me.I woke up rather later than usual today and even when I did, it took me hours to get up from bed. I lowered my gaze to my huge tummy, I smiled at it, as I reminisced about how it came about, my thoughts trailing back to my encounter with the doctor."I really need to reward him some more," I said to myself.I then looked around the room, Ben was nowhere to be found. I stood up immediately, in shock of his sudden disappearance and bolted out of the room quickly.I took quick steps down the stairs and got to the living room in no time. I still couldn't find him there. The kitchen was the next place in mind. As I strode towards the kitchen, I whiffed the aroma of sandwich fillings that emanated from the kitchen, spreading gradually into the entire air. It smelt really delicious.My curiosity

    It's been barely a month now, since we got married. Ben has been the best husband in the universe, to me. I enjoyed every bit of him. His lovely and caring aura, his sweet words that always makes me feel loved, his support in everything I do, and of course, most importantly, the money he spends on me. Yes, that was the most important for me. I really needed it!To be honest, that was the major reason I came after him. The love was just a bonus. That's the reason I had to go as far as inflating my tummy, in order to be able deceive him that I was pregnant, even after lying to him severally, just to find my ways around him. Luckily for me, he still loved me to a fault and seemed to be obsessed with me. Well, maybe because he didn't know that the whole story was all cooked up. I hope and pray he doesn't get to find out, even in the long run. Our two-week honeymoon was over by last week. It was indeed an enjoyable experience for me, especially because of the love and affection he showered

    "Ben, I need to see the doctor today. Can you drop me off at the hospital, please?" I requested, as I noticed he was about to leave. "You need to see the doctor? What's wrong this time?" He seemed to have forgotten about the doctor's instructions."Can't you remember what he said? I have to attend antenatal sessions, you know?" I reminded him."Oh yeah, that's true. So sorry I forgot," he apologized."It's fine. So, would you?" I peered directly into his face."Yeah sure. Why not? Of course you're my baby, so I should," he accepted, as a matter of responsibility."Nice then. Thanks baby," I smiled."It's my pleasure, Rosy," he replied, beaming with smiles."So, I'd just go take a bath, while you wait here, okay?" I asked for his acquiescence."Sure, no problems," he answered. "Okay fine then," I said and led myself upstairs, to the bathroom, slowly.After a few minutes, I came out and got dressed.

All I could do was watch and wait for the arrival of my little angel.Ben and I have long ago decided on what to name our child. If it were a boy, he would be named Benjamin and if a girl, she will be Mia, we decided. Ben also bought baby items and clothings for both genders alike, some months ago, per adventure it turns out to be either of them. I was happy and played along, although I felt somewhat guilty too.At first, we hadn't any foreknowledge as to the gender of our unborn 'child,' because the doctor advised that it wasn't easily fathomable at the early stages. He obviously said so in a bid to align to the plan. He was so tactical. I loved what he was doing.After we faked the ultrasound results, the doctor thrust it to Ben and said,"Here is the result. We're expecting a baby boy soon!" The doctor spread the good tidings."Yes! I knew it! I knew it would be a male child!" He threw his clenched fists in

    Welcoming my first child brought me more joy than I expected. I beamed with smiles as I cuddle him dearly in my arms and reminisce about my past and how serendipity smiled at me. Bernard was now a happy father. I'm so glad and thankful for bringing my child into this world. He was my joy giver and now my joy was complete. The living room was flooded with family and friends, who came around to send greetings and gifts to the new baby. Becky came along with Davis, smiling at each other all the time. I suspected something going on between the two of them, but confirmed my thoughts when I spotted the diamond engagement ring in her finger. “You're engaged?” My popped, as I stared at the beautiful ring in her middle finger. “Of course, I am,” she returned the smile, flaunting her ringed finger in the air. “Wow! Congratulations to you!” I cheered. “Thank you. You too, Alice! You're now a mother,” she replied heartily. “Where’s your fiancé?” I asked, to be sure I wasn't mistaken

    The early morning sun rose steadily, shedding its beams across to my weary eyes. I gently opened them up and stretched lazily, yawning tiredly while I turned my head to my side. Bernard wasn't there. 'But where could he be?’ My heart missed a beat. My head spinned and I felt heavy blocks pushing their weight against it. I cleared the sleep off my eyes and stared around the room, expecting I would find him somewhere close by, but I didn't. I became worried. “Ben!” I called out his name but there was still no response. I stood up anxiously and headed into the bathroom to check if perhaps he'd be there, but I still didn't find him. My heart pounded hard in my chest. ‘Where could he be now? What the hell is going on?’ The fear of being abandoned seized me. I stepped out of the room hastily, as though chased by a monster and went to the next room, his study, to search for him. The study was empty and dumb. “Bernard!” My throaty voice pierce into thin air. “Where are you?”

    Alice's POV Everything seemed to be happening so fast, but at least so perfectly. I wouldn't have believed it if I was told that I'd get married soon, and to Charles as I previously envisioned, but to my boss. That was the very best day of my life, when we stood there, radiantly breathtaking on the altar and exchanged marital vows. Walking down the aisle with Bernard was the best decision I have ever made and there is no going back. Here I am in our private hotel suite, designed for just the two of us, in the cuddle of his arms, while I reminisce about the activities of yesterday. From the church wedding, to the reception party and then to this very bed we slept, last night, it all replayed in my head. We went wild last night. Our clothes were still sprawled across the floor. I could remember almost vividly how he threw me to the bed and undressed me hungrily, like a prey he was ready to devour. He did so many other things to me, so many that I can't even remember. The only on

    A month later, The church hall was tastefully decorated to suit the event of the day. Numerous guests from different walks of life sprawled over the place in their festive attires, wearing cheerful faces. The orchestra serenaded the congregation with soft melodious tones from their instruments. Cheerful indistinct chatters were heard around the hall, all set for the arrival of the bride. I waited patiently at the altar, in my custom made black suit and matching trousers, together with Davis, my best man, who was dressed similarly. I beamed with smiles, in anticipation of the bride. The clergyman also stood at the altar, ready to execute the ritual of exchange of marital vows between me and the love of my life. As if propelled by some telepathic instigation, Alice showed up as expected, with a bouquet of white roses in her hand. She was putting on a sparkling white satin dress that was tailored perfect to fit her figure and accentuate her curves. Her skin glowed brightly, as she w

    Two weeks later. "This has to be perfect for Alice. Are you sure I'm doing it all right?" I asked Davis, pacing around with the ring box with me. He shook his head in approval. "You're going to do just fine Ben, don't bother about it." Davis assured me and I heaved a sigh. “The truth is, I plan on proposing to Alice tonight, I really hope she says yes. I mean she can't possibly say no? Right? We've been together for a couple of months now and Alice has been the best thing that ever happened to me. I love her to bits, and she loves me too, and I think this is the big next, final step for us.” "Hey! Man up! She's here already." Davis said to me and I felt my heart skip a beat. "Do not mess this up, dude!" Davis warned and I nodded sheepishly, nervousness taking over my system immediately. I watched from the corner, as my dear Alice smiled in happiness, in respect of the surprise party thrown in her honour, she radiated in happiness. I'm enthralled with her beauty. There

  • The Billionaire's Mistress   Chapter Ninety-Five - Dinner Date

    Bernard's POV Would I say I was nervous? Or was it just a regular tingling feeling one has when on a date with a woman one has formerly known? Whatever the case may be, that was exactly how I felt right now. She sat graciously opposite me, beaming with enticing smiles that I couldn't resist. I tried smiling back, but each time I did, I ended up blushing openly. It was a dinner date in my personal suite in the hotel. She was putting on a short red sexy dress, with a lowered neckline, exposing a little of her cleavage and high stiletto heels, that she would easily pass for a lady of the night in. Her red tinted lips and mascara that made her eyelashes more prominent further attested to that. Her skin glowed brightly, even in the dimly lit lounge. We had barely started to enjoy each other's company, when the waiter arrived with the menu. “What would you like us to have for dinner?” I asked her, in anticipation. “Cheese sandwich with some grilled chicken,” she answered. I smiled wi

    “Charles!” I yelled on top of my lungs, exasperated at the activity going on in my very presence.Charles was making out with another woman, who moaned so loudly and irritatingly, feeling the entire room with their sounds. Their ripped off clothes sprawled across the floor, giving more details to what was going on.“So, you could do this to me?” I shook my head slowly in regret.Hot tears welled in my eyes while I stared disdainfully at him. My expression saddened at the bitter taste of a painful betrayal. Charles didn't utter a word. He only ignored me and continued with what he was doing, in my presence.“Can you be so shameless? This is all you could think of, huh?” I flared up angrily, watching as the two lovers made love in my presence.Only then did he pause and glare at me, still clutching onto the woman beneath him.“Look Alice, I'm having a great time right now. I'm tired of you. So tired that you've become an obligation to me. I'd appreciate it if you leave,” His words shat

    Alice's POVResigning from work wasn't as easy as it sounded. I've always threatened my boss about resigning from his company, to get a job elsewhere, but I never meant it. Who could have sorted my unending bills, if I had had meant it in the real sense? Did he think I was willing to leave so soon?As I heard about his release, after serving his one month jail terms, I assumed it was a perfect opportunity to follow my heart, and not my head. The wrapped paper in the light brown sealed envelope was already seated on his desk, awaiting his approval. I also noticed that I wasn't the only one following this course, others did too. I smiled satisfactorily, thinking about how our boss was going to react. I was unaware that Mr Bernard had other plans until I found him in my office, kneeling down to plead with me to forgive him. That moment was one of the very best since I stepped into his company. I suspected something fishy, but I decided not to show it, granted that he was remorseful.“I

    I walked briskly along the hallway and incidentally found Alice coming towards my direction. The devastation on my face transformed suddenly to a smile, as my eyes met hers. She seemed to have just walked out of her office. She stopped in her tracks as soon as she noticed I was coming. “You need to sign a document urgently,” Alice said, looking at me with a straight face. I stared at her intently as though finding it difficult to fathom the meaning of the message. My mind wasn't really interested in what she said, but her. “What document are you talking about?” I asked for clarity, as though I had an idea what she was talking about. “The Simpsons, they asked for your approval on an upcoming project,” she replied, leading the way back to her office. I followed her from behind, secretly admiring her well-rounded ass as she walked. A playful smirk played on my lips. We got into her office and she handed me the papers, still standing close to her desk. I sat down next to her an
