Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56"We are here" Austin deep voice call out to me as I turn to look at him then around my surrounding. I still can't believe that Lilian talked me into coming, left to me alone I wouldn't be here right now. I don't feel like partying anyway.
I walk out of the car and stood beside Austin on the red carpet linking my hand on his arm. Today is the launching party of the Hotel Italia. Yes, the same hotel Michael and I first met ten years ago.
"Are you sure, you really want to do this" Austin said to me, his voice laced with concern? I look up at him and offer him a small smile as I nodded. I feel so guilty for using him right now but I will do anything for me not to be with Michael right now.
"Okay, let's do this" Austin said smiling as we walk into the hotel. I was thankful that there was no one to announce our names just to check our invitation and this was no masquerade ball, just a regular dinner night party but even at that there were still classic c

I walk to the door to taste the handle, a time like this, I hate this state of the art door."I____this____is_____the___key" I turn to the lady who was in a stuttering mess because of me. I hastily grab the keys from her as she ran for her dear life, I open the door and drag Nina inside, closing the door and locking it."Locking us in, are we?" Nina said seductively as she looks at me, I turn to look at her excited as hell, I never knew her to be a seductress but I like her a lot right now."You talk too much, Bella Mio," I said as I walk slowly up to her, unbuttoning my blazer in the process, she licks her lips. Woah!, that's exactly the kind of response I wanted with my blazer off, I push her on the bed kissing her roughly, the sexual drive was so much that I struggle to breathe."You will be t

"I love you Michael Thompson" I heard Deborah said to Michael immediately, I and Austin enter into the dance floor.They were oblivion to us, I brace myself as I waited for Michael's response."What are you on edge for? Surely, Michael loves you" My subconscious said rolling her eyes at me being nervous"Wow! girl. I thought you've abandon me too, it's been ages I last saw you. Oh! How I've missed you" I said sarcastically while rolling my eyes at her too, she glares at me but I ignored her in time to hear Michael's faint whisper"I love you too, Deborah Melton" My heart bled at that simple word that held much emotions. I tightens my grip on Austin shoulder as I hide my face on his neck, the tear were falling down my face"Are you alright, Nina," Austin concern voice cut out through me as I nodded my head at him."I'm okay Austin properly tired from all the partying

He stroll down the street and enter the cafe house discreetly as professionally as he could be.Though I don't see any use with the need for discreet since no one knew us here."Xavier" I said as a form of greeting, when he sat down in front of me. Xavier and I were childhood friends until he joined the army from there he turned rogue. We've been in contact ever since my sister's murder."Austin. Same old Austin" He reply smiling briefly before getting professional "The bomb has been placed into the plane and one of my men is there with the remote to ignite it when the time reach

I still can't believe what I saw and heard even right now that I'm in my parents' house, I'm wondering if I heard right.Michael is in love with Deborah Melton? When? How?. “To think that I allow that animal to touch me, I feel like killing him with my bare hands” I clenched my fists annoyed as I sat down in the sitting room at my parents'.I'm so happy right now that I followed my instincts to come here, I wouldn't know what I will be doing at home now“You will probably be crying at home right now,” my subconscious said, looking up what she was doing. I glared at her, must she state the obvious. She rolled her eyes at me and went back to whatever she was doing.I raise my head up as I turn to force back the tears that threatened to fall, I wouldn't want mom to be worried, which she seems to do those days.Looking around the sitting room, I was glad to see that my parents have fully unpacked even though I didn't help them o

I was agitated as I waited patiently for Nina to come back home. It's quite late,where could she be______?"Is this how she comes back late?" I ask her little brother who doesn't seem so little after he has attacked me with a bat for breaking his sister's heart."That's none of your business" He replied as he went back to his chair just as a woman walked out carrying a cup of coffee for me. I collected it, smiling appreciatively at her as my hand clenched the newspaper tightly. I couldn't believe Nina could stoop so low to get back at me. I'm so freaking annoyed with her.I sip my coffee as I use that opportunity to look around. I was surprised to see a picture of her and her dad when she was still a baby. I smile at her beautiful eyes and kissable lips."What are you doing, Michael, you are supposed to be annoyed with her not thinking about her eyes and lips, you dump skull" I scolded myself as I schooled my face back to blank immediately I heard the doo

As soon as Michael walked out of the door, I let myself cry as I sobbed uncontrollably, the only man I'd ever loved. I opened the door and ran after him but he has already left, his car was not in the driveway either”“God! Why me?. Why does this have to happen to me” I sobbed into my hands as I kneel down on the front porch.My subconscious was getting teary too, as she wipe her face with her handkerchief“ Nina, don't cry, it's for the best" she said trying to console me as I sobbed.I stood up from the porch and walked into the house, closing the door gently. Turning back I was surprised to see Shane in the sitting room, watching me intently.“What are you doing here?" I ask him as I wipe my eyes, rid of the tears while I turn to walk into the dining room.“To eat?" He replied shrugging as he sat down opposite me and took his spoon as he began to eat.After talking a spoonful of food into my mouth,

I stood up from the bed where I had been lazing all morning since Michael had left for work. Looking around, I was as ecstatic as I was, the first night I slept over at Michael's, even though while we dated I've never been to his villa but this pregnancy has brought me better than I could ever imagine.I stroll out of the room which was adjacent to Michael's, I still don't understand why he doesn't want me in his room. I'm going to be his wife for crying out loud. I tried to open the door, but as usual it was locked.Glaring, I walked away from the room and descended the stairs as I went into the kitchen for my morning routine which consisted of eating breakfast and watching television. Being the fiance of a business tycoon, I don't have to work, which I'm glad of.“Good morning, Miss Melton," Emma greeted me, she was bent over the cupboard searching for my favorite tea cup.“What's so good about this morning, Emma?

It's Nina, she______“ I cut her off, as I cursed loudly into the phone impatiently “ How many times do I have to tell you that there's nothing going on between Nina and me. That picture you saw in the newspaper was Photoshopped“ I lied to her, after that night, Deborah has been questioning me about Nina and I, and I have to deny it every time. I'm getting tired of her emotional blackmail.I scribbled something on the files in front of me, I have a 1:00pm meeting with the board concerning the launching of the new“ Thomson's hospital” which has been built and now this.“It's not that Michael, Nina was involved in an accident and she's dead“ I froze as the pen hovered in my hand. Nina is dead? How come? No, it can't be true, I saw her two days ago and she was healthy. I laugh, Deborah has started again with her planks. I'm not in the mood for any of this.“ What did you say? Nina did what?" I stood up and paced to and

I shield my eyes from the harsh sun with the purse in my hands, it felt so good to be finally free. “ Woah! The weather is so good today” I exclaimed excitedly, taking a swirl around in excitement. “ Yes, you can say that again” I turned to see Xavier gazing up at me with so much love and affection in his eyes that I couldn't help shielding away shyly.

Come on in” I told her with a broad smile on my face as I motioned her over.Aurora dropped the file on my table while I flipped through the pages looking for a particular entry.

We all sat in the courtroom looking around while I held onto my daughter's hands, Michael was on my right holding on to Nadia's hands while Nora was beside me. 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 turned away from the face of the woman that I had come to despise, but couldn't do

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

“ Joey, come on. Please stop crying. You've got to be strong for your godmother” I called gently to my son who was crying silently on his bed as I stood in his doorway.“ But mom, I'm missing Nora and Nadia so much. 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

I couldn't help being worried about them. Is Deborah taking care of them? Have they eaten?A lot of things are going through my mind but there's no one to talk to. Michael had been busy these days, especially after he found out that Deborah had tricked him.He couldn't stop blaming himself for not being vigilant and I couldn't add to his self-loathing by telling him about the calls I've been receiving and that from Deborah.I could still remember her last call which was a few weeks ago after we came back from the hos

I mean most casino businesses are illegal and I wouldn't want my money to go to waste. It's hard to earn a fortune these days you know, and_______”“ Mr. Gonzales” I called to the bald head man who was miles away from me trying to make him stop with his blabbering as I was getting irritated. He was a Spanish business tycoon who had quite a fortune but didn't know how to invest his money. He was just on the news a while back because of his eighteen years old, fifth wife who had squandered his money on a designer outfit that cost a thousand dollars.“ I'm not forcing you to invest in my company but I'd like you to remember that if you don't invest your fortun
