“Okay. The guy she’s getting engaged to tomorrow evening is my ex-fiancé.” Ann said and looked at Henry’s face. He was shocked beyond words. He couldn’t really understand what she’s trying to get across.“I thought you said she’s your sister? Why would your sister get engaged to someone you were once engaged to? She’s supposed to be on your side helping you to deal with him for breaking your heart, and she’s getting engaged to him? How is that even possible?” Henry said“It’s a long story. Moreover, I never said he broke my heart, I only said I was dumped. How did you come up with that conclusion? Ann said “Is it possible for you to get dumped without getting heartbroken?” Henry said“Yeah,it is. It was a contract marriage so I was never in love with him. I just did it for the sake of the company.” Ann said “That’s crazy. What is your family saying about it? Are they not against the idea?” Henry asked “If they were,there would not be any event tomorrow.” Ann said “Do you have to g
“That’s a good idea. You can let go of such a sweet man because of those animals in human form.” Martha said. “I really can’t believe mom will do that. She actually went as far as organizing a party for her knowing I had a history with Ben. She’s really a special case.” Ann said“She’s openly letting you know that her daughter is all she cares about and no one else. What’s your dad doing about it?” Martha said “He asked me and I said I’m fine with it. I asked him to allow her to do whatever she wants to do.” Ann said “Why would you even say that? You could ruin things for her.” Martha said “What would I gain from doing that? I can’t let their issue bother me.” Ann said “That’s true. Just forget about them, I will go with you tomorrow and protect you throughout the ceremony.” Martha said“Thank you my superwoman.” Ann said with a smile“So how are things between you and Henry? Any progress? Has he officially confessed his feelings?” Martha said “I just apologized to him today and
“I will doll you up so pretty that he will be so mesmerized when he sees you.” Martha said “I hope so too. I want to impress him but I don’t want to do too much.” Ann said “Don’t worry, I will take care of it.” Martha said “Let’s just take a nap for about an hour or two. I’m really exhausted.” Ann said Martha agreed and they took a nap for about two hours. By the time they woke up,it was about two hours to the time she was supposed to meet Henry. She got up immediately and went into the bathroom to take her bath. She woke Martha up after she finished bathing for her to help her dress up. Martha started with her make up,it was a light make-up just as Ann wanted it. She styled her hair in a ponytail with three partings by the left side of the hair. Ann wore her dress and a pair of earrings to fit. She brought out pencil heels and a bag to match. By the time they finished their dressing,Henry’s driver was already at Martha’s gate. Martha escorted Ann to the door.“Why do I feel so n
“It’s about what actually happened three years ago.” Henry said and Ann looked so surprised. She wondered what he was going to talk about. “What about it?” Ann said “Before I proceed, I want to apologize to you for the way I reacted when you tried to talk about it the first time we met. I didn’t expect to see someone who knows about that night in such a place.”Henry said “You’ve apologized to me already, why are you bringing it up again?” Ann said “It seems you’re not listening to me. The thing is, I regained my memory of that night.” Henry said“What memory are you talking about? Can you please talk in a way that I will understand instead of going through corners?” Ann said “Okay. I lost my memory of that night. I couldn’t remember anything when I woke up the next morning ,not even how I got there. I was going to ask you about it but I had an emergency. I received a call from home that my mom passed away that morning so I had to leave immediately. The duvet was covering your f
“Will you be my woman?” Henry said. Ann opened her mouth in surprise. She might have acted like she didn’t care in front of Martha but she actually wished he would ask her out which he just did but she never expected him to say it in such a sweet and romantic way. It took her a while before she could say anything.“What! I’m sorry about that, I wasn’t yelling at you. I just…… I don’t know.” Ann said, stammering.“I know I took you by surprise and I’m sorry about that. I just couldn’t keep it to myself anymore.” Henry said “No,you don’t have to apologize,you didn’t do anything wrong. I’m just being overly dramatic right now. I guess I’ve been single for too long,I’m not used to this.” Ann said “I’m not putting pressure on you. You don’t have to force yourself to give me a reply right now, you can take your time. I just want you to know how I feel about you.” Henry said “You’re not pressuring me. Let me start by thanking you for coming out clean about that night. I know how hard it m
He moved closer to her a little bit and drew her to him till there was no space between them. He took one of his hands and placed it on her chin rubbing it softly,he brought his face closer to hers and kissed her again. The kiss was more intense this time. They both forgot every other thing and focused on each other,Ann wrapped her hands around his neck and as they kissed so deeply. Henry moved his hands gently from her waist down to her hips, he caressed her hips moving his hands on the unclothed parts of her thighs. He slipped his hand gently under her gown touching her bare body causing Ann to suddenly break from the kiss holding his hand. He expected her to stop him like the last time or get angry but he was wrong. Ann stared into his eyes and kissed him back while releasing his hand,she parted her legs a little bit giving him the full access to touch her. Henry was excited to see that and he was quick to make use of the opportunity. He brought his other hand down to her second
Monday morning at Henry’s office.Henry called Bryan.“Come to my office now.” Henry said and dropped the telecom immediately,not waiting for his reply. “Hello sir.” Bryan said when he got to Henry’s office. “Hey Bryan. I need you to do something for me.” Henry said “Alright sir,what is it?” Bryan replied. “Annabel has a younger sister,do you know that?” Henry asked “Yes sir. I found out about it when I did some background investigation on her.” Bryan replied “Okay. So I want you to find out everything about her sister,and also her relationship with Annabel. I just want to know everything about her, even her favorite restaurant should be included.” Henry said “Okay sir.” Bryan replied “That’s not all. She got engaged last weekend, I want you to find out everything,I repeat everything about that guy. Don’t leave out any information. Do you understand?” Henry said “Yes sir.” Bryan replied “I want this report on my table before Friday. You can leave now.” Henry said. “Alright,
“You couldn’t say no to him but you didn’t think twice when you sent me a text to cancel our plans? You sly.” Ann said “Why are you being difficult? Just think of it as an emergency.” Marta said “It’s fine. I enjoyed myself too.” Ann said “That’s true. Why are you just coming back?” Martha said “Think of it as an emergency too.” Ann said smiling.“You went out with Henry?” Martha asked “Yes.” Ann replied “Are you guys really dating now?” Martha asked “Well,yes. We settled our differences and he asked me to be his girlfriend. No,he asked me to be his woman.” Ann said proudly. Martha screamed excitedly. “I’m so happy for you.” Martha said “And,he apologized for not recognizing me when we met. He actually lost his memory of that night and the little he remembered was useless. He couldn’t find anything to trace me.” Ann said. She briefed Martha on everything that happened. The date,the settings of the place,how he apologized and lastly how he asked her to be his woman.“And what
