last update Last Updated: 2023-07-08 00:26:57

I have been staying indoors for the past two days and my mother has not been happy with me for days. She expected me to do something and hinder Zina's trip but it was no longer in my power. I need to talk with Gabriel. He is in the best position to know the next line of action.

I quickly picked up my phone and called his line but it was not connecting. My mother barged into my room and I was startled.

"You scared me mom."

"I don't see the reason why you will be scared. What is the next thing to do?"

"I am actually calling Gabriel but his number isn't connecting."

"You see the reason why I told you that I do not trust that guy but you insisted."

"Mom, you are too fast at concluding things. I just told you that his number is not connecting, we just have to exercise patience till his number connects back. Maybe it is out of network coverage or the phone might be switched off."

"Will you keep shut! You can't be here and know what is happening there. Why must his line not connect?"

    "Please have your seat. What do I offer you?""Just get me water." I rushed to the kitchen. Rinsed the glass cup and placed it correctly in the tray. I got out the bottled cold water and placed it beside the glass cup and took it to the living room. I placed the tray on the side stool and brought it closer to him. I raised the glass cup and opened the bottle of water and poured some good quantity into the cup. "Thank you so much." He gulped down almost everything and placed back the cup. I sat down quietly beside him. "What of your mom?""She is inside her room. Thank you for honoring this invitation." "So what exactly are you asking me to do again?""I am saying that you need to help me and suggest what I will do. I can't allow Zina to take my man away from me." "But I think there is nothing we can do now that will affect their relationship.""What do you mean?" I hate to hear that word relationship. "I mean, we have done a lot and they still haven't parted ways. So what do yo

    I really miss my friend. I can't wait for her to come back and give me the gist about her trip. Since she traveled with Neil, Pascal has not allowed me to go back to my house. He is really spoiling me here. Pascal and I will be going to the factory tomorrow morning so that he will introduce me to his workers. I can't wait to start working and earning money of my own. I can't stop thanking Zina and Neil for what they did for me. If not for them, I wouldn't have met the love of my life. I stood up and moved over to the kitchen because I was thirsty. I opened the kitchen and saw that everything was so neat. Pascal's chef has gone home. The woman is so hardworking that she doesn't like seeing me in the kitchen. She believes that I am the wife of the house already and it's her duty to serve me. I don't know why I don't feel comfortable seeing her doing the job alone. She is just like a mother to me and it is so respectful that I watch without helping her. I know very well that she is d

    I feel so tired after the day's meeting. It was such a wonderful day and tomorrow is another day. I had to go and take my evening bath before Neil came inside the room. He was busy discussing with some delegates that lodged in the same hotel with us. I had to leave him there and come up to take care of myself. I quickly took my bath and started my evening skin routine. I was busy applying so many things on my face that I didn't know when he came in. I looked in the mirror to see what I had done, only to see that someone was standing behind me. I was shocked that I quickly turned my back and saw Neil standing and smiling with his hands folded at his back. "Neil, you scared me." "Really? So you didn't hear when I opened the door?" "No, I was busy with my skin routine. Are you through with the men?" "Yes, tomorrow is another day. Get my bathing water ready." I had to stand up and move to the bathroom to get his bathing water ready. "It's ready. I made it warm for you." "You just

    "Why do you like embarrassing me all the time?""I am doing that because everything about you is insinuating to me. I need you to get married as fast as possible." Those words really hit me hard. I never expected my mom would throw such words at me. I thought she supported and loved me all these while. Will I force a man to get married to me? What does she want me to do? "Honestly, I am shocked. I never expected those words from you mom.""What were you expecting? You wanted me to pay him from my bank when I don't have hope of more. It is not as if you work.""Don't try to change the topic mom. You are talking about me getting married and you made me look as if I have been refusing suitors. Are you not the one that wants richer men?""Everything I am saying is related to your complaints. Get yourself a husband since you don't want to work and earn. When the money we have now finishes, there is no Neil to send money to us because you messed everything up.""Messed everything up? How?

    I started my work as the supervisor in the factory. I have my own special office and it was well equipped with the gadgets I need to make my work easier. I could remember yesterday that he brought me to the factory for the first time. We held a meeting at the board room where every member of the staff was seated and I was introduced as the new supervisor of the factory. I just thought that he would introduce me as his girlfriend also but he didn't do that.I never felt bad but I wanted everyone to know. Ladies and their ways of life. There is this respect we feel that will come to us when people know that you are the lover to the boss, just like Zina and Neil. I know how much respect Zina has commanded by answering the lover to Neil, her boss but our own case was not the same. I don't think the company would have been aware if not that Megan was playing stupid and making unnecessary noise. Well I never care. The only thing that interests me now is that I now have a job of my own an

    I was already packing our bags against the next day. I was happy to be going back because I have missed home and also missed my friend. Staying in the hotel for days wasn't easy but at least I had fun and Neil made my stay enjoyable. Ouch! He told me that we would be going to his parents house to see them and he has already promised them that he will bring me to them. I wonder how long we are going to stay there. Neil came out of the bathroom where he went to take his night bath. "Hey babe, hope you enjoyed your bath?""Yeah, the water was hot and good for this cold weather. Are you packing our things already?""Yes, we don't need anything that will delay us." "Hmmm, you are perfect. I can see that you are ready to travel back home.""Why not, I have missed my friend, Sandra especially." "Interesting, remember that we will be visiting my family house very soon."

    "So you wanted us to see.""Yeah, it's very urgent. I will be giving you…" I dipped my hand inside my bag and brought out seven hundred dollars. "Here, take this as you embark on another job" I placed the money in front of him. He touched it and counted it. "Okay, now you are doing what I expected. So how do we go about the job?""First and foremost, I wouldn't want my mother to hear about this deal and I don't want her to be aware that I gave you some cash.""But she has been in this from the beginning." "Yeah, I know but I don't want to involve her again. This is just between me and you.""It's fine, now let us get into business." "Good! How do we proceed? She mentioned kidnap which is a very good idea but how simple will it be?""Do you have her contact?""Who? Zina?""Yes.""Sure, I have it.""Good because it will be a good idea. I am sure you have never called her with your cell phone.""No, and she doesn't have my number." "Alright, I won't use my line to call her because sh

    Someone tapped me on my shoulder, I opened my eyes a little bit because I was in a deep sleep that I didn't know it was dawn. Everything was so blurred that I had to use my hand and wipe my face so that I could open my eyes well. I saw Neil seated beside me and smiling. "Good morning." I said. "Good morning my lovely woman. How was your night?""It was fine." I stretched myself."Breakfast on bed," at first I couldn't believe what he said, till I sat upright and saw a tray with a small cup of coffee and sandwich. I was amazed. "Wow! When did you wake up to prepare for this?""I promised myself to surprise you. You need the rest and I know you would be very tired to go into the kitchen to prepare breakfast." Wow! That was so romantic of him. I never expected this to happen to me. I had no option than to hug him and thank him. I stood up to go and brush my teeth so that my mouth would be fresh as I ate the sumptuous breakfast. I really have a lot to gist with my friend and I can't

    Zina’s POV:“You really know how to ruin a surprise.” I said dryly to Kathy who this time around screamed but opened the door widely for me to step in. Sandra was already on her feet when I stepped in. She had tears in her eyes.“Babe, if that make up isn’t waterproof don’t even think about it. I am here to walk you down that aisle to your happily ever after, think you can hold it all in till we are done?” I said to her and opened my arms to give her the hug we both needed. The tears now flow, I was grateful Neil forced me to come. I would not have traded this feeling for anything.We held on to each other until the other girls joined us in our hug. We saw some flashing lights and looked to see the wedding photographer.“I’m sorry, I could not help it. This was too precious to pass up. Wait, I just got an idea. We will do this outside, don’t worry we won’t mess anything up.” The photographer said in a rush but I was not paying any attention to her. I was fixated on my best friend who

    Neil’s POV:The PI had to work with Matt and Ian and I did not care, I wanted answers which were pretty easy. The idiot’s name was Jeffrey. I of course remembered him but I could care less about him at the time, he was after Megan and she thought to use it to stir some jealous shit but it failed woefully because I never called him to order or ordered him away from Megan, it infuriated her to no end.So she ended up using him to get to one of the people I loved deeply. Yes, I was admitting that I loved my wife.They had tracked Jeffrey to the flimsy hideout he carved for himself, I say flimsy because it was not difficult to track him. Gabriel of course had skipped town but he was found eventually, and the lady of the hour was picked up from her apartment. She kept screaming that she never meant to hurt me, that Zina was the target. Like that was going to help?Anyway Zina had been by my side all through. My parents have moved to my place temporarily to help them commute to work easier.

    Neil’s POV:I woke up feeling immensely tired, like I was run over by a truck. I blinked to try to recognize where I was. I was still in the hospital ward. I remember waking up earlier and I saw Zina who was running around, then some doctors came in.I sighed and turned to see a passed out Zina on the couch, how long she had been there was a mystery to me but I could tell that she had not been sleeping well, even the dim light could not hide the exhaustion from her face.She needed more sleep. Just then the door to the room opened and a nurse peeked in before trying to quietly step in, she did a good job of being quiet until she was next to my bed and saw that I was awake. She gasped but not loud enough to wake Zina.“Sir, you are awake. Let me call the doctor real quick.” She said to me and I nodded my head but I cast a significant look at her and thank goodness she understood and did not make any noise or wake Zina up. The doctor soon came in and after quietly examining me she told

    Zina’s POV:Neil was supposed to wake up yesterday according to what the doctor said, but here he is, still lying there and not yet awake. I am really trying not to lose my head, this is becoming overwhelming as the hours pass by. I have seen too many movies and the worst case scenario kept playing in my head. What if he never woke up?What if they declared him brain dead?What if he became a vegetable?Did the last two not mean the same thing?Oh my gosh!I massaged my temple as I felt the beginning of a headache. “Please Neil, just wake up, please just wake up.” I said in my head and lifted my head to see that he was still in the same position. The door opened after a brief knock, a nurse stepped in with some towels.“Good morning ma’am, I am here to wash up Mr. Honduras. May I proceed?” the nurse asked me and I nodded my head. I stood up and stayed at a distance where I was sure that I would not interrupt her or block her movements and watched wipe him down with a towel, soap and

    Zina’s POV:I followed the doctor with bated breaths, not really knowing what to expect but I was just glad that I was finally getting to see him. This was not my plan for the day, this was not my plan for any day. The meetings I was rushing out for seem so trivial right now. As we approached the door I felt the hand that I had been clutching unconsciously squeeze mine back. I looked up and saw my mother in-law give me a reassuring smile through the tears that filled her eyes. I nodded my head, bracing myself for this. The door opened and my eye zeroed in on the only bed in the room. The tears I thought were giving me a break came out, I could not control it. I didn't even want to, lying there looking pale with bandage wrapped around his body and wires hooked up to machines was my husband.There was a bandage wrapped around his head, his lip was burst at two places and it was a disturbing color of blue. From the amount of movies I had seen I was glad that the machines were beeping, m

    Sandra’s POV:As soon as we arrived at the hospital, some men in suits immediately surrounded the vehicle and opened the door on Pascal’s side. Pascal turned to me, completely ignoring the madness that was the paparazzi. This was the first time I was experiencing them and this was crazy to say the least. From the ones receiving the news updates this was a favor, but to the families involved this was a major nuisance.“No matter what happens, do not let go of this hand and always follow where I tug you to. Do not answer any questions, do not say anything to them. And as much as possible keep your head down. Ready?” Pascal asked me and I nodded, I just wanted to get this show on the road.I nodded and he took my hand in a firm grip.He came down first, waited for me and took his own instructions. He did not say anything to any of them, he kept a firm grip on my hand and kept a steady pull until we got to the hospital entrance where they were banned from entering.“Where are they?” I hea

    Zina’s POV:I was already heading out of the doorway but I was so focused on my phone, the girls were giving me reasons to regret not coming with them. They looked to be having so much fun, even the video of them attempting scrubber diving was so hilarious. I was about to scroll to the next video when I looked up and saw Neil’s car parked in front of the entrance instead of my designated car.What was going on?My question was going to be directed to the person that could answer it, I turned and saw Matt walking towards me. He looked uncomfortable.“Good morning Matt, where is my ride?” I asked him with a smile which he smirked in return to.“Boss went for a drive early in the morning. I think he got the day off or something, so he instructed that we ensure his princess got to work safely. And since he took your car I figured he would not mind you stepping in to work today in style.” Matt said and I rolled my eyes, ever since that picture of us surfaced on the internet he has not miss

    Zina’s POV:I was two weeks into resuming work and roughly two weeks to the end of my contract with Neil. I was getting depressed as the days went by, I do not know how my heart went and fell for a man that did not want it. And aside from some guarded conversations, we did not spend as much time as I would have wanted. He was immersed in so much work these days and I was left to my own devices.My table was cleared. I was waiting for the afternoon reports so I could work on those as well. On the bright side I was getting reviews from my team. They loved how I worked, how I was giving them short breaks in between. Of course I have asked them not to be too comfortable, rush months are around the corner.I relaxed into my seat and I suddenly felt horrible again. In a matter of weeks I was going to be kissing all of this goodbye. No more Mrs. Honduras, no more special treatments. No more Neil, which was the part that stung the most. I would no longer have the access I have to him right no

    Zina’s POV:“I swear he took me by surprise that day. I just never took him for one for public displays of affection, of course the gossip blogs took it up and praised him for not being ashamed to show the world that he loved his wife. I don't even know why we are making the headlines. There are other rich couples out there.” I said to Sandra who encouraged me to abuse my privilege as the boss’s wife and meet up before it was time for the lunch break.“Well not all couples consist of Neil Honduras. What about your mother-in-law? Has she shared any tips on how to survive the madness in the early days?” Sandra asked me and I smiled. My mother in-law was meeting us up for lunch, well me but I was not ready to dismiss Sandra.“Yes, she called me yesterday. I am supposed to meet her for lunch but you are staying because you too will soon be the wife of a CEO. Guess your dream of being a housewife is finally coming to be.” I said to her and she shamelessly raised her tea cup for a toast.“A
