She suddenly became quiet after clearing the misunderstanding,she became so comfortable around him that she blurted out without thinking. She was just grateful that she didn’t say anything more. “What are you thinking about?” Henry asked when he saw that she zoned out.“Nothing,I’m fine. I should be asking you instead,why do you look so anxious? Are you worried about something?” Ann said.“No I’m not. I was just admiring the beautiful lady in front of me.” Henry said with a smile. He was indeed worried about something. The more he talks to Ann,he keeps getting flashes from their first night together. A night he had tried to remember but he couldn’t ,and everything keeps coming back which makes him more anxious. “Can we go back now? It’s getting late and your assistant might be back already.” Henry said“Yeah,we’re done here. One minute please.” Ann said . She brought out a scarf from her bag and tied it stylishly around her neck to cover the mark Henry left on her. Henry looked at
“We will see who has been lenient very soon.” George said . George dialed Ann’s number to check up on her. She picked the call and they talked about work. She updated him on how far they have gone with the work. Ann noticed something was wrong for her dad to call her by that time of the night. “Dad,are you okay? You sound worried. Did you have an issue with your wife again?” Ann said. “No my dear,I’m fine. I’m just tired from working all day.” George said“Are you hiding things from me now? I thought we agreed that there would be no secrets between us.” Ann said“Yeah,we did but like I said earlier there’s nothing wrong with me.” George said“It’s obvious that you’re lying to me.” Ann said “As if you’ve always been honest with me. Can you boldly tell me that you’ve never hidden anything from me?” Her dad said“You know I don’t hide anything from you.” Ann replied“If you say so. Are you okay? Did you drink?” George said, finally noticing a change in her voice.“Yes dad. I went out
Martha’s house. “You’ve been quiet ever since you arrived here. If you are not going to tell me what’s going on,then just cheer up or get out of my house.” Martha said angrily. She’s been trying to hold a conversation with Ann but it’s not working. Ann has been moody and every effort Martha made to change her mood has proved abortive and it pissed her off. Ann was taken aback by what Martha said. She has not seen this side of Martha in a very long time.“Hey,chill. Are you really sending me out of your house?” Ann said “Like I said earlier,if you’re not ready to talk then leave my house. I’ve been trying to reach you ever since you came back from the trip but you’ve been avoiding me, and you come to my house today looking all moody.” Martha said“I’m sorry. I just came here to relax.” Ann said “And when did that start? Is my house now a place you come when you’re troubled?” Martha asked“Why are you making things hard for me? You know that’s not what I meant.” Ann said “Tell me w
“I remember everything now.” Henry said“What!! You remember her face and everything that happened? Is that what you’re saying?” Ethan asked “Yes, I guess it’s some sort of miracle.” Henry said“Tell me how it happened. We’ve been on this issue for a couple of years and you couldn’t remember anything,and the memories suddenly pop up when you meet her. How long have you known about it?” Ethan said“It’s really crazy Ethan. It happened the day I took her out for a drink. We were so into the conversation,she was really comfortable with me and telling me a lot of things about her but I suddenly got this feeling,as if I’ve heard it before. I was familiar with most of the things she was telling me. Like I was able to figure out what she was going to say next and it felt weird. I didn’t take it seriously until I kissed her. The moment she returned the kiss,all the memories came back with clear images.” Henry explained.“That’s crazy. So did you stop the kiss or did you continue?” Ethan aske
“Why didn’t you reply to my text?” You ghosted me.” Ann said “I just didn’t think it was necessary for me to reply since Bryan relayed the message through your personal assistant . He told me he texted her when we arrived,so if you had asked her then she would have told you.” Henry said coldly.“I texted you because I wanted to hear from you, not from my assistant. The least you could have done is to reply.” Ann said “I thought that’s what we’re doing now,we talk to each other through our assistants. You started it first and I’m cool with it. So I’m just returning the gesture.” Henry said.“You don’t have to be petty about it,you could have talked to me if I did something wrong.” Ann said“You think I’m petty now? You ignored me first as if nothing ever happened. I thought we had something.” Henry said“Yeah,honestly we did. I was just scared,that’s all.” Ann said“Scared of what? You think I’m going to break your trust or what?” Henry said“That’s not what I’m trying to say. I just
“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
“He has a female best friend???” Martha and Ann chorused. Somehow they were shocked to hear that. Ann thought Henry doesn’t have any other friends other than Ethan because he has never talked about any one else. She didn’t bother to ask him because she also doesn’t have anyone else other than Martha. And now she’s finding out that he has another friend and not just any friend,a female best friend and that threw her off her feet.“Why are you guys so shocked to hear that? Is it a crime to have a female best friend?” Henry asked “Yes it is.” Martha said “I don't understand, why is that?” Henry asked “You have a girlfriend,so she should be your best friend too. Having another female best friend asides her can make her feel insecure.” Martha said “I still don’t understand how having a female best friend can make her feel insecure. She’s just a friend.” Henry said “Just like you said earlier as a joke although I’m not sure, how do you think she will feel if she visits you and she meet
“Wait,don’t tell me Ethan is the guy she told me about?” Ann said looking surprised.“What did she tell you about him?” Henry said “Nothing much. Just that they’ve been going out everyday ever since they met. So I definitely know about him.” Ann said “Well,he told me about a lady but I don’t know her name and I’ve never seen her before. Moreover you also didn’t introduce your friend to me.” Henry said “I wanted to but she's busy with the shoot. Well,you’re meeting her today.” Ann said “Yeah,let’s go in.” Henry said They walked in just when they were concluding the shoot. Martha saw her and walked towards her,same with Henry. “How come you guys are here together? Do you have to go everywhere with your girlfriend?” Ethan said and hugged Ann. “How have you been?” Ann asked him. “I’m okay.” Ethan replied “Do you guys know each other?” Martha asked, confused about what’s going on. “Ohh,I’m sorry. Let me do the introduction,(she grabbed Henry’s hand) this is Henry,my boyfriend. A
“This lady in question is a model. I met her on set today.” Ethan said.“Really? So you’re going back on your words now?” Henry said “For her,yes. She’s worth doing that for.” Ethan replied“You met her today. Are you sure it’s safe for you to drool over her like this? You don’t even know her that well.” Henry said out of concern for his friend. “We went out for a drink and we talked about so many things. She’s not one of those ladies that go out with so many friends. She said she has just one best friend and she’s also a general manager in her father’s company. Imagine a young lady like that with two careers and she’s doing well with it.” Ethan said “My girlfriend is also a career woman. So don’t brag in front of me. She’s not even your girlfriend yet.” Henry said “Very soon. You know I don’t fail when it comes to ladies.” Ethan said “Yeah, I trust you on that. When are you going to introduce her to me?” Henry asked “So fast? Did you introduce your girlfriend to me as soon as y
“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
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,
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
“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
“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
“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.
