2024-10-29 19:42:56The alarm beeps at seven in the morning, I slammed my hand angrily at it. I couldn't get enough sleep last night. I was thinking about Mia Walker and Michael, he shows me a side of him that makes me want to protect him and stand by his side always.
I threw the cover away as I stood up and went into the bathroom to shower and get ready for work. Remembering the interview I was to have with Austin, I quickly dressed up in a black peplum gown and make my way out of the apartment with my car key in my hand.
Opening the door to my car, I saw Deborah Melton rushing to meet me, she was clad in a red bareback gown and fully caked with makeup. She walked up to me and smiled.
“Can I get a lift to my dad's company? ” She asked, batting her eyelashes at me. I was surprised, was she not the same person who asks me to stay awa

I stood up abruptly from my chair as I throw the remote I was holding at the smart screen television in my office. It makes a dent on the screen but I didn't care. I can't believe Austin said that at a live interview, that I killed his sister. I close my eyes as I envisioned the tears that fell down Nina's eyes. My heart bled knowing fully well that I'm the cause of her tears. I open my eyes at the sound of my phone ringing, a glance at the caller's ID shows my dad. “Michael Vincent Thompson!!” My dad screams filled my ear as I pull the phone away from my ear. Leave it to my dad to remember my three names when he's annoyed. “Yes, dad” I reply as soon as he has calmed down. “You killed Mia Walker? How?” He asked shocked.

This is not my room, where am I?.Michael walks in carrying a tray of hot chocolate cookies and a glass of wine.

I can't believe I've been running for an hour now, since I couldn't sleep a wink last night. I've been up since 5 am, thinking about the clash with Deborah Melton at my office a few days ago. I jogged up to my apartment to see Lillian standing there in all her glory. She smiles immediately she sees me approaching“Hey beauty" she calls sweetly to me. I know what she's trying to do, anytime she uses that tone at me she wants me to do something for her. “To what do I owe your presence, her royal majesty Lilian,” I said as I bowed playfully in front of her. “Well, well, let me see” She placed her hands and on her chin thinking “ Oh yes!, I'm here concerning our discussion yesterday,” She said happily jumping up and down. “Yesterday?” I ask her, shocked, as I search my br

My mom looks at me slowly before sitting down too. “What's wrong dad?” I asked him confused. The last time we spoke, it was on Mia Walker issue. Is he still annoyed with that?. John and I both sat down as we look at him expectantly. “Why did you change the model for Lush Beauty,” My dad asked annoyed as he glared at me. I sigh heavily, what Andrea predicted has eventually come to pass “Deborah's contract was over that's why we brought in a new person”. “Why does it always have to be that woman?” Mom screams

The door suddenly opened and I was greeted by my brother who looked at me like he was dreaming. “Mom, dad!. Big sis is here ”He screamed as he came over to hug me tightly. I hug him back, my baby brother is now a big boy.

I woke up to the sun glaring down on me. I was about to stand up when I noticed Michael sleeping soundly beside me. Both of his hands were held across his head as he sleeps with a smile on his lips. I wonder what he was dreaming about that made him smile. I run my hand slowly down his lip, he swallows my hand, sucking it slowly as he gazes into my eyes. His blue eyes mesmerized me. This position brought back yesterday's memories as I blush red, yesterday was the third-best night of my life. I stood up abruptly from the bed when I suddenly remember that we are meeting his parents for the first time today and ran into the bathroom to shower leaving Michael to chuckle behind me, he got up and walk into the shower as he helps bath me, I did the same for him then we both walk out to dress. I stood gasping at my inappropriate dress from the club last night, I couldn't possibly wear that to meet his parents for the first time. Bitting my lips as I try to think of a

They had recovered from most of their bruises but we were all still going to therapy every Tuesday. Even Lillian had joined us this time, I couldn't help regretting dragging her into my mess.I stared into the whitewashed room of the courtroom but I wasn't really seeing anything. All I could remember was the night when I felt I was going to die and Michael had saved me the second time ...“ What is she doing?” I turned to stare at Lillian who gazed was fixed on Deborah, who was checking her gun to see if she had enough ammunition in them wearing a light smile on her face.

I paced around my office in anticipation, ever since our last call with Lillian, we couldn't get in touch with her. She had refused to answer any of our calls and had sent it to her voicemail.“ Any luck with her yet?” I turned to ask Danny who was trying her phone again. I could see the worry etch his brows as sweat streamed down his face. I couldn't help being annoyed with myself that I had caused everything. I regretted ever bringing him and Lillian into this mess. Hell, I regretted ever risking my wife and children's life. If only I never met Deborah then none of this would have happened.“ Not yet. She just won't pick up even after leaving her a dozen messages. She's just so stubborn especially when it comes to Nina” Danny exclaimed running his hands through his hair in frustration as he paced to and fro

I don't know what's going on with them. And who the fuck is Deborah? I so hate her” He screamed at me as he turned to watch me from the doorway trying to dab at his now teary eyes.I strolled to pull him close as I let him sobbed on my shoulder, ignoring him using the swear word. Any other day, I would have scolded him but today, I decided to let him be since he was hurting so badly.“ It's okay son, momma understands. I promise we'll find them soon but please you've got to be strong for them. You know Nora and Nadia wouldn't like to
