Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56As Mark pulled away from the airport, I couldn't help but took another glance at Nina. She was seated in between the two guards with her eyes closed. I missed her so much, I would really like to have her on my bed in my arms but I need to wrap up this private investigation with Deborah and Austin before I could afford myself the luxury of being with Nina again. I can't risk her life the second time.
“ Home or the office sir?” Mark's voice pulled me out of my thoughts as I turned to look at him from the little door that separated me from him “ Office. There isn't anything for me to do at home ” I told him as he nodded and took the route to the office.
“ Where's John?” I asked Mark after remembering telling him to call him.
“ He's in the office sir” Mark replied as I nodded. With Lillian and Danny out of the country. I had to employ the help of both Donald and John to help with the investigation. I want to get this o

I stood up from the bed having been awake for a while now since I couldn't sleep. My mind was tangled with the thought of Michael. I still don't understand why he wanted to see me and I don't even know how to tell Dad about it.“ Sis____are you awake?” Shane's voice called out to me from the sitting room as I stood up and went to meet him. He was dressed in his uniform which consisted of a navy blue short and a white short sleeves shirt with the school logo printed in multi colour at the breast pocket side.“ Shane, what do you want?” I ask him, stretching and yawning. Shane closed his nose playfully as I smack him on the back causing him to erupt in laughter.“ Mom said to come call you for yoga” shame replied as my face twitched in dismay. I still don't understand why mom will want me to meditate. Why do I need all those scraps when I could have the best exercise with Michael.“ Urgh____I hate Yoga” I excl

I woke up to my phone ringing continuously, I stood up throwing the duvet off my body and walked naked to my beside drawer where my phone was. Seeing that it was Aurora's calling I quickly pick it up...“ Hello” I called into the phone as I paced around my room wondering why Aurora would call me so very early in the morning.“ Hello sir. Goodmorning, I called to inform you that your scandal with Deborah has caused an uproar with the board. They had demand a board meeting urgently ” Aurora said causing me to paused.“ What did you just say? A board meeting?” I asked her again. I don't know what to do with those old fools. Many times, I've told Dad to buy all the shares of those old men who had refused to retire but he refused. Now, they are demanding for a board meeting because of my personal issues.“ Yes. They have set a meeting for seven a.m. And your dad has agreed to it” Aurora said as my eyes immediatel

I stood staring out of the window into the cold morning which was still dark. I was tempted to go for a run but knowing my dad, he will want the body guards to go with me but I needed to be alone right now...I paced around the room still trying to wrap my head around why Deborah and Austin will want me dead. I mean loving Michael is not enough for anyone to wish death on me.And to think that she has been sleeping with Austin even when he pretended to be gay. I've been a fool for a very long time. I can't believe I didn't see all of this even when it was right under my nose.I came out of my thoughts just as I heard my phone ringing. I walked to where it was lying on my rumpled unmade bed. I picked it up and stared at the caller ID.“Hello baby girl” I called into the phone, immediately I saw that it was Lillian's calling. I scold myself for forgetting to call her after seeing her off at the airport.“ Hey Nina. How are you?&rdqu

I replayed the text message over and over again in my head but I still can't pinpoint why Nina will want to see me. Does she want to break up with me? Hell!! No, I don't think she could do that.“ Are you ready to order anything sir?” I came out of my thoughts to see a young waitress staring at me. Immediately, she recognised me, she couldn't help gawking at me.“ Not yet, I will let you know,” I told her before turning to stare out of the window. I could see Don and John circling through the whole building. Though I was supposed to meet Nina, I also needed to meet Austin. I need to know why all of this is happening?I turned back just as I saw Austin strolling down the sidewalk with dark sunglasses on his face and a black hat.I was about to signal for a waitress when I noticed that the previous one was still beside me. I look up to see her staring at me with such hunger in her eyes. I cleared my throat as she looked away not after giving me the signal that

“Deborah! Deborah!! ”I stood up from the bed grumbling under my breath. Why will dad be waking me up so early in the morning!. Oh! I hate this! I wish I was at Michael's place where everyone treats me like a queen.The door opened and closed as dad ventured into my room with his hands in his pocket. I stood up and walked to go meet him in the sitting room where he was seated on a couch.“ Good morning Dad! “ I greeted him as I pulled my bathrobe closer to cover my protruding stomach.....“ How are you?” Dad answered as he crossed his legs together before turning to look at me seriously “ Have you heard from Michael? ”I shake my head “ No, dad. I haven't seen or talked to him after the scene at his office the other day but I will be going over to his mom's place today” I answered as my dad nodded.“ That's good but I need you to get closer to him and do anything.

I strolled into the Thompson's Empire the next morning with a heavy heart. After receiving a call from Michael to meet him at the office, I couldn't help wondering what could be wrong?I smiled immediately I remember the prank I pulled on my bodyguards this morning, Gosh! I'm so clever…“Good morning Miss Miller. I'm Aurora, I will escort you to Mr Thompson's office” I came out of my thoughts to see a young girl speaking to me.I was skeptical while trying to remember where I probably would have met her. My brain has been fussy after the accident, I have problem remembering some things.“I'm sorry, Aurora but do I know you?” I asked her as I watch her slowly.“Sure, Miss Miller. I'm Mr Thompson's personal assistant” Aurora replied causing me to nod my head at her. I clenched my fists together as I brush past her.I suddenly remembered Michael telling me that he had slept with her before. Gosh! I can't believe the nerve of that man. Did

I pulled the car into my parent's driveway and shut the engine. I don't know why I'm suddenly having this feeling of coming to see them but my conscience wouldn't let me be even though they are only my adopted parents.I rested my head on the steering, my mind flashed back to what happened earlier this week. I knew I shouldn't try to hurt Nina again. I'm reluctant to do that but Deborah won't be happy, I need to please her, she's the woman I love and the mother of my boy .The sound of my phone ringing pulled me from my trance as I picked it up from the dashboard. A quick glance at the caller's ID caused me to quickly pick it up.“Hello. Xavier, what's going on ?” I asked him cause I wasn't expecting any of his calls. My eyes scan the front porch of my parent's house, memories of my sister running down the porch flooded my brain as I forced it away. I miss Mia so much.....“ Doctor Pierre just called me. He said a lady came to asked information about you at t

She motioned me to go in after we heard a response from Andrea..I walked into Andrea's office and stopped short. I was disappointed that Michael was not here.

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. It was the budget for the Thompson's Hospital. Apparently, Dad found out the money budgeted for the hospital was too much and requested that we reduce it which was why I'm in a meeting with Doctor Damien. The director of the Thompson's Hospital.“ So, Doctor Damien. We've cut down the budget to fifty million dollars, hope that will be enough?” I asked him, I could see his lips curled up in a fr

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 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

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
