Adina’s POVI got inside and turned on the lights, removed my shoes and went to the living room.“Ahh!!” I screamed my lungs out when my eyes spotted a chubby figure looking a bit scary in the dark. I turned on my living room lights and made a frown when I noticed who it was.“Emma?”“Hey sissy.”“Sissy? Emma what was that for? You almost gave me a heart attack.”“Don’t say that, besides it wasn’t that serious. I see no reason why you’d react that way.”“Really?”“Yeah really.”“Emma, you should at least find a reason to inform me whenever your stopping by don’t you think?”“Uh…. Actually, no I don’t.”“Oh goodness. You're such a pain in my ass.”“A good pain tho.”“How’s it a good pain?”“Please, I can't explain myself, Adina. Just go upstairs, freshen up and come join me to make dinner in the kitchen, I’m starving.”I just looked at her, not even sure what to do to her. She never misses a chance to stress me out. “Yes mom.” I went to my room, had a nice warm bath, wore my lingerie
Adina’s POV“Oh no.!” I exclaimed, hitting my hands on my head frustratingly, it’s over. I looked up at her as she just couldn’t take that smirk off her face. So I decided not to be perturbed at all. “Welcome Sophia!” I said sarcastically. Come, I’ll show you around and also where we would be taking the shootings.”I instructed one of the staff to take the cinematographers to where they would set up their things while I took Sophie around the hotel. We took the first elevator as I showed her the different rooms and the amazing services we offer, she would have to do her stuff after this.I kept on doing my job in silence which I think was uncomfortable for her, so she just decided to piss me off. “So Adina,” she called.“Did Tyson mention to you how much he loves me?”she askedNow here we go again with her stupid questions that I think don't deserve any answers. I kept mute to all her questions which I perceived got her pissed up as she immediately started ranting. “Adina, don't y
Tyson's POVIt was Monday morning and I had just got off from bed. I checked my time and it was just 7: 00 am. I began contemplating if I should go to work or just take this day off, but the thought of Adina being present immediately affected that decision. I got ready soon, got into my car and off I went. I was just lurking around the big hotel building when Mr. Millwood walked in. “Hello sir, what a pleasant surprise.”“Hey Tyson, my newest partner.”“I’m good, sir, you are rarely present in the company, may I ask why you’re here today?”“You’re right Mr. Tyson, but I have information to cut across the staff today, so I’d be holding a meeting by noon.”“Oh, okay then. I’d be present.”“Thanks.” With that, he left. “What information could be so important?” I thought.“It was noon already and everyone was seated around the table waiting for Mr. Millwood to break the silence. Which he soon did, but what he said surprised me. He had just come to announce a new CEO of the company whic
Tyson's POVI woke up the next day alone on the bed, Sophie was nowhere to be found, I checked my phone and noticed that a staff member from M’ hotel had called while I was sleeping but she took the call.I was furious, I knew whatever reason she had by picking my call things weren't going to end well with her and Adina. I quickly got out of bed, I checked the idea of the time and it was 12 noon already, what could she be doing at the hotel by this time? I quickly dialed her number to find out.“Hey Alexa, call Sophie on speaker.” {calling Sophie (the robot voice echoed)}“Hello my love.” “Sophie?”“Yes honey.”“Where are you?”“At the hotel, why?”“Sophie?!! I exclaimed. I noticed that you picked my call from the hotel, what business are you there for?”“What do you mean? Can't I come to the Hotel anymore because you now work here? I am here to set some boundaries.”“Sophie, please don't cause trouble for Adina, I’m coming over right away.”“Why is it always about Adina Tyson? Even
Adina’s POV“What did you say?”“I’ll do it.” He replied.“We didn't say we're out of models Tyson, besides, we are done with the shoot.”“But you still have one more pose with him.”“I'm glad you said that well, with him and not you.” I said referring to Trent. I asked respectfully, Mr. director, to refrain from making contact with me and I'll do the same. I walked out on everyone and proceeded to the restroom to remove everything.Tyson's presence just stirred up a certain anger inside me, why did he have to show up. I took everything off and went straight to my office.I saw Sophie leaving alone through the balcony in my office, which meant that Tyson was still in. So I did my very best to try to avoid him throughout the rest of the day. Soon it was evening and I got home really tired, I didn't expect my first day as a manager to be this stressful. Emma had just left for her house after dinner so I was left alone, I took a very relaxing bath in the bathtub and stayed there for ho
Tyson’s POV The week ran by pretty fast and it was soon time to go for my Trip to Germany. I got out of bed lazily and walked to the bathroom to have my bath when a message popped on my phone, it was a reminder of my flight as I just had about four hours to get ready. I went into the bathroom, took my bath and came out feeling fresh, I wore my baggy jeans and a t-shirt with a cap making me look all sexy and hot. Sometimes I really don't feel like my age whenever I look into the mirror because I'm just too cute, but I'm not much of a playboy like that weirdo boss of Adina.I wore my cologne and one of my maids came to take my luggage downstairs. Just as I was climbing down the stairs so I could get into the car and head for the airport, I sighted Sophie sitting on my sofa with a glass of wine in her hands.“Sophie?”“Hey boo.”“Hey, what are you doing here?”“What sort of a question is that? Can’t I come to my baby’s house anymore?”“You can, but you always inform me whenever you are
Adina’s POVWith that, Trent shot death glares at her. If stares could kill, I'm sure Sophie would be lying lifeless by now.We were interrupted by the announcement from the PA’s officer who notified us that we had just five minutes before our flight took off, we got in and were taken to the first class region. Seeing it was magnificent until I found out my sit was right next to Tyson’s and Trent’s was next to Sophie’s. I stood there staring at him hoping he'd just get the message and leave but instead he sat there like a king not minding the fact that I was still standing. I decided to go plead Trent to please switch sit with me but he refused saying he could unleash his anger and they could end up having a clash if he sat next to him. I just stood there confused when Sophie offered to switch seats with me. I was so happy as I gladly did so, the journey soon came to an end and we all alighted from the plane, but Sophie made things difficult for me as she was forcing herself through
Adina’s POV “Ohk boys. I think that’s enough. How about I and Sophie just take separate rooms, who said it was compulsory that we stayed in the same rooms huh?” I suggested.They all now turned their gaze at me trying to process my words, the frown on their faces withered, so I assumed everyone was okay with that idea, until Trent decided to ruin things for me. His lips parted from each other, I sensed he wanted to say something so I began praying secretly within me for him not to make issues worse as everyone at this time began staring weirdly at us. “Uhm, Adina I ain’t sure that would be okay by me, I’d like you to do some work for me later so I’ll need you as my manager.”And he dropped the bombshell, why does it have to be now he chose to be my boss and not my friend.“She can as well do whatever you want her to do in her room and submit them to you by tomorrow, right?” Trent interrupted my thoughts.“I think Adina’s suggestion is good, can we please get this over with and conti
Adina’s POVI woke up to a light kiss on my forehead and lips. I slowly opened my eyes and there he was the most handsome man on earth staring at me with his cute baby eyes. “Wake up sleepy head, it's our freedom day” he said.Yeah, it's our wedding day today, and Tyson is so excited to relive this moment, with his reaction no one needs a microphone to announce that he's been waiting for this day to come or probably dreaming a lot about this day. “Alright I'm up.” I said sitting upright. Just then, he placed a tray containing hot tea with some pancakes with a smiley face design on my lap. Oh, my world, I missed this so much. Tyson is such a great cook, and this right here is one of my favorite dish I enjoyed so much. “Aww, you served me breakfast in bed?”“Of course I did, I missed doing this, and I miss your smile that comes with it, Sophie was…..”“Uh-uh, I won't allow you to spoil this magical moment by mentioning her, just allow me to eat my food in peace.”“Yeah, that's a real
Tyson’s POV“So please, I’m begging you. Would you marry me? Again?”“Tyson?” she called out with teary eyes. “Are you serious?”“Of course I am. I figured this could be the best time to ask this, now that Sophie is out of the picture, and you want to make things right. It's better I do this now before you change your mind.” She chuckled at my words. She was about to say something when suddenly the doctor, three nurses, plus Emma rushed in.“Come on now peeps, do you really have to spoil this moment for me?”“Wait what? Mr. Tyson but you seem alright?”“Of course I'm alright doc, and now you just ruined my proposal with your presence.”“Then who was pushing the beside bell calling for attention.”Currently it dawned on me, I placed my hands on some button beside my bed, but how was I supposed to know what it does? I've never been to the hospital before, this was my first time.“Uh — uh, sorry doc, I think I'm the one.” I said removing my hand from the button with a weird smile.“Mr.
Tyson’s POV I squinted my brows trying really hard to remember where I've heard that before? And when it finally dawned on me, a stream of tears dropped on my cheeks.“Ricky. Ricky.” I called out as Adina joined me in tears too.This was the same room Ricky was laid when he was being given last office treatments. I remember clearly. Though I wasn't here before he died, I was here after. I guess that’s the reason, Adina is so upset to date. I could have done better, I should have been here before he died like he was asking for. Nonetheless, we both knew that he wouldn't make it due to his illness, but we were just hopeful, the least I could do was show up, But I didn't.“Yes Tyson, at least you remembered this one,” Adina said.“This was the same bed where our son died, and I was petrified of losing you on this same spot. It would be a heavy blow to my chest.” She added.Wait, what? Did she just say she’s scared of losing me? Or did I not hear her clearly enough? “Adina? You’re scar
Adina’s POVThat was the same ward Ricky was rolled into before he died. Tears rolled down my cheeks yet again. Emma quickly understood and held me lightly in my hand, jolting me out of my thoughts. “It's okay, he's going to be fine,” she whispered.I took a deep breath and thanked the receptionist before heading to the private ward. We got to the front door and his name was written boldly on the wall.“TYSON BRICKS.”I took another breath again before opening the door slowly. Ava quickly rushed in and went to her father’s bedside.She took about five minutes to scrutinize his whole body from head to toe, and slowly raised her head up looking straight into my eyes.“Mommy, I look just like my daddy.” she finally said something after what felt like forever.I broke down in tears hearing her tiny voice and little mind watching her dad in comparison with herself.“Daddy, you're alive. Where have you been Dad? My friends mocked me a lot that I didn't have a father but thank god I met you
Adina’s POV Haven’t you punished me enough? I cried inwardly.I walked back to her with a straight face, hoping I could get her to talk.“Ava? Your aunt tells me you’ve refused to eat since yesterday. Can you at least tell momma what the matter is?”“You are the matter mummy, you are?” She said with a teary voice and moist eyes. I couldn’t believe my eyes as I watched my little girl shed tears.“Did you know yesterday in school mommy, my friends laughed at me because I didn’t have a dad? I told them what you told me that my dad is a hero in the sea world but that even didn’t help, it only made matters worse as they began calling me a sea girl.”“I was mocked by my friends, mom. I just sat down and watched after the close of school as their dads just kept coming to pick them up, I cried mom, I really cried.”I stood there dumbfounded, and in shock. Here I was thinking my baby was doing all fine, little did I know that she had started to endure all this from a very young age and fake a
Adina’s POV “Sophie, just pray that you leave this place alive after I’m done with you.” I mumbled, still with the rage inside me. I stood there watching and recording all the atrocities she has committed until today. She tried to escape, but the house was already on automatic shut down. Tyson smiled weakly, thinking he was the god of magic that had placed the house on shutdown. His face was now becoming pale as he was already losing a lot of blood.I thought I could still contain the rage a little longer, but I lost it when she was about to pull the trigger on my HUSBAND. I quickly rushed in and pounced on her.“This is for wanting to frame my husband ” I said as I sat on her, giving her a resounding slap.“This is for, making him absent during my son's death.” I said, again, giving her another dose.“This is for snatching him away from me”“This is for the several times you stressed the living light out of him.”“This is for the embarrassment you caused him”“This is for taking aw
Tyson’s POVI opened my eyes slowly to see myself in the clinic with a nurse beside me. I tried raising myself up but felt a sharp pain in my leg, my mind flashed back to yesterday’s incident. “Hey, hey, sir you can't get up now okay, you're just recovering from a coma, you have to regain yourself first.”Wait, what? A coma? What coma? When was that? “Sorry, did I hear you say a coma?” I asked.“Yes sir, a coma”“You were rushed in during the early hours of the morning three days ago, you were bleeding all over your leg which, I think, was a result of a gunshot,” she replied“What?” I've been here for three days? What happened? How did I get here? Right, Adina, what happened in her struggle with Sophie? I had so many questions running through my head and because of this, I felt a sharp pain.“Don't stress too much sir, all you need right now is rest, the doctor will join you any minute” the nurse said about to leave“Umm, please. How was I brought in here?” I asked.“Well, an ambul
Adina’s POV“WHERE'S SHE!!!”He screamed with a loud voice with rage evident on his face.“Ahhh!!” I also screamed in shock and fear.“Ma’am! “Ma’am?”“Ahhh!! No, no no.”“Ma’am.”I woke up out of fear. I took a brief look at my surroundings and for some reason I'm now in the train station. Wait, was that a dream? “Ma'am, we're here.” a man said which I presumed was the driver, but he wasn't talking or even answering my cries a while ago. Or was it really a dream? I thought. Well, thank goodness that it was, I quickly got down from the car and headed straight to the station to get a ticket. Called Trent on the way to thank him, I was about to enter the train heading to see my beautiful daughter when all of a sudden the thought of Tyson hit me. He’s been really trying all he could to get us back together, at least if not for anything, for my little girl. “You shouldn’t starve her from her father’s love, not that he’s dead or lost.” a voice echoed in my head. I took a pause in my tr
Tyson’s POV “LEAVE.” I yelled with every single strength left in me.”“Ty…” she called out again“One more word from you, Sophie, you’d know what I’m capable of.”“You know what, fuck you Tyson.” She said bringing out a gun from the bedside drawer. “You think this is how it’s going to end huh, you think I’d just let you go Scott free, huh? Haven’t you ruined my life enough? The greatest mistake I ever did wrong was to love you Tyson, and you chose to pay me this way?”“Sophie….”“Shut the fuck up, Tye!!!” She screamed.“Oh you’re surprised? Guess the table just took a U-turn Tye. If I can’t have you, then no one can.”“Sophie, please don’t do this.”“Oh really? So you do have a mouth to plead, huh? Oh Tyson, how I’m not going to miss your cute face at all.” She said with a smirk on her face.“Sophie please, don’t kill me, please I’m begging.”“Hahaha, kill you? Oh, Tyson, are you really that dumb? I’m not killing you. Look around you, Tyson. Every single thing going on right now has
