2024-10-29 19:42:56Things went on smoothly between them for the next few weeks with Alva being shy and tense towards him, and he is cordial towards her, and she wondered why he was doing all that.
Could it really have been Silas' influence on him or was he just trying to improve things between them, she wondered.She shook her head, that was not her concern now. She was in front of her family's house and was wondering what would be their reaction when they saw her. Would they still be the cold family that blamed her for the mistake she had done in the past, or would they be receiving of her now that she had done something for them?She mustered up her courage, sighing as she went into the compound, she would suck it up and find out herself. They hadn't contacted her since she left the house, and she wondered if they had just cut her off like that.The house didn't look like anyone was in it as she approached the front porch, and rang the bell. As expected their houRelated chapters

Alva splashed a bowl of paint onto the canvas she was working on, the blue of it staining the edge of her cloth, and she smiled, “this is going to get messy”. She picked up the next paint which was a red one and splashed it onto the surface too.“Hey gently, it's not like you will clean it up when you're done…” she smiled at Jessie who walked in, the tray of chocolate drink in her hand looking tempting, “You're around,”“Mm, I heard you humming when I walked in and knew you were here,”“Oh,”“What are you working on?”She looked at the messy canvas she was yet to blend in and pointed, “A sunset landscape with flowers in the garden,”She smiled, “That's going to look beautiful,”“I know right,”“Chocolate?”She shook her head, “Not yet, let me get a head start on this, and I'll join you,”“Okay,”She picked up a brush that was on the chair and started blending the colors, the mixture of blue and red bringing out the color she wanted, a purple background with darker edges and a lighter

Alva sat at the island of Jessie's kitchen restaurant that afternoon as she stared at a blueprint paper in her hand. She had a cup of chocolate in the other which she sipped and faced Jessie, “so this is the paper planning for the event you have coming up, right?”She nodded, “what do you think of it?”“I think it is splendid…if you'll just explain a little bit to me,”Jessie chuckled while rolling their eyes, “So, typical of you, anyway…” She collected the paper to explain, “this is the main hall where the event would take place and these are the arrangements for it,”“Oh…”“"The party would be a standing reception setting where guests would stand around tables and mingle with eacother,er and the food stands would be set up at different corners where they could easily be accessed. As for the drinks, waiters would be around to serve guest”,"“"…..but why standing reception though, won't it be better if they all say dow”,"She shrugged“ "May, butut standing reception makes it more fun.

The ray of sunlight was what woke Alva up the next morning, and she sat up in her bed with a groan. She had had far too much to drink the other night and the effects were hitting her in the face now, more like in her head.She held her head with a grimace.Her clothes from last night were still on her body making her uncomfortable and the hair she had tied up in a messy bun was now loose and messy. She stood up to take them off. The top and trousers went off first, followed by the bra and pants she had on, and she stepped into the bathroom where she took a shower.The shower was quite refreshing and comforting, and by the time she was done, she had half of herself back. The other half was still held down by the pounding headache, and she decided to go downstairs to get something, probably a cup of coffee or a hangover soup.She shook her head, she couldn't have that as she didn't know how to make it, only Silas had made it for her the last time she had a hangover in his house. She sig

Alva sat at the island of Jessie's kitchen restaurant the next morning as they talked drinking coffee, and she grimaced at the taste. She had always disliked coffee but had managed to get herself pretty drank the other night, so she needed coffee, not chocolate to get over her hangover. She dropped the cup on the island after sipping the last drop.“So, what do you want me to help you with today, you called me over pretty early,”“Just some recipes I came up with last night and there's the planning of another event I got yesterday,”“You got another event planning job yesterday?”“Yes, one of the dignitaries liked the work I did for Mr. Verdson's party and wanted me to do his,”“Oh that's lovely, I'm happy for you,”“Yeah, thank you,”She pursed her lips as if remembering something, “Ah who were those ladies that talked to you at the party, they seemed pretty familiar with you after we went back to the hall,”She grimaced, “Oh no, don't bring them up, I nearly suffocated because of

Jaxon slammed the file on the table that morning, looking outraged. He had the whole of the tech department present in the boardroom as he paced around, and the manager stood before him scared, what do you mean the package got infected, didn't you secure it?I did sir.Then please explain to me how a browser package created just yesterday got infected by a virus.He looked down, I sincerely don't know, sir.Apparently, you have to sit down because we have to decipher the problem, or we will not leave this place.He sat down and the rest of the employees adjusted in their seats, including the manager,Let's start with what you used to secure the package, of which quality was it?He walked into his office later that day with a loose tie and worried face and got surprised when he saw Erin in the office waiting for him, “Erin, what are you doing here?”She stood up to kiss him on his lips and smiled, “I missed you,”“You missed me?”“Mm,”“But Erin, you know you can't visit me in the offi

The room was the same.The smell…The atmosphere…Everything was the same as six years ago, and Alva groaned in her sleep.*Flashback*She was sitting beside her mom's bed as she cried, oblivious to the dark stain that surrounded her head. The pain was there, but she ignored it, feeling a bigger pain in her heart.She couldn't die… her mom was unable to die, or she wouldn't forgive herself.She groaned against the sheets, “Mom, please just wake up, I promise not to run away again, I promise to always stay by you, please…just wake up,”She didn't get a reply as the machine kept reading beside her, and she cried not knowing what to do. Likewise, she was 16 years old girl with a father who went abroad for a business trip and her siblings were too busy doing other things they didn't know of the accident that happened.They tried calling them though, but it wasn't going.She sat up with teary eyes, “Hey dearie, I think you should go lie down, the doctor will call you up if anything changes

Jaxon tried concentrating on the papers that lay before him that morning as he read them, but couldn't just concentrate. He couldn't get the image of his father lying helplessly in the hospital out of his mind, and that was messing with his brain.“Mr. Jaxon?”He snapped out of it, “Yes?”“The chart on the board, it is showing the amount of revenue we have incurred in the past week and the losses we have faced that same week,”He faced the projector, sighing. He was in a meeting with the accounting department of the company, and he couldn't say what was spoken about in the last five minutes.Likewise, he cleared his throat, “Could you please come again?”“Yes sir,”They went over the explanations again helping him understand the terms, and he noted them down, “So we're making a profit of 20% per day for now right?”“Yes sir, and it will tend to increase due to the increased demand in the market for browser packages and hostings, I believe we can make a lot,”“Okay, that will be all fo

The sight was messy, to say the least, the next morning, with employees running around trying to salvage the situation and him watching as customers called repeatedly to complain to them, he was at a loss for what to do.He had never been in such a situation before and didn't know how to react.“What is the extent of the damage?” He asked the tech manager at their meeting later that day, and he stood up to analyze.“We have the computers infected with viruses and the hijackers are taking control,”“So, what do you suggest we do?”“We have to shut down all our systems at least for today in other to clarify the whole thing,”“But we can't do that, other businesses under our jurisdiction would be affected and that could make us lose value and goodwill,”“There's nothing we can do, sir, I'm afraid. This could spread if action is not taken now, and that could cause even more damage,”“Okay do it, but we need only one day right?”“Yes, just today,”“Okay then I'll send a message to all our

Alva went to Jaxon's house the next day her heart beating fast and she found them fooling around in the kitchen, "what are you guys doing?""Cooking,""Mama!" He rushed into her hands even though he was already a little past three years old and she caught him in her hands."Why are you doing that when you know you can't handle him?""Who told you that?""Look at his hands..." She pointed to his hands that were stained with sauce and he looked away guilty, "Okay, maybe I did indulge him a little,""So what are you guys cooking?" She dropped Jay on his feet and went to the counter where he was finishing up a spaghetti sauce, "spaghetti and meatballs,""Hmm, it looks so good,”"I know right,""Well, I have something to tell you when we're done eating...""Not before I show you something I've been preparing,""Oh really?""Yes, I hope you like it,""Okay, I'm curious now,"He served them the pasta and they ate before getting ready for wherever Jaxon was taking them to, "won't you tell me n

They were back at the house two days later and Alva was taking a bath in the shower. She had had a brief period of cooking and she thought she should take a bath. She was feeling different though she couldn't explain and she had vomited, she wasn't sure if it was what she thought.Pushing the thought back from her mind, she picked up a towel and wrapped it around her before going into the room that was theirs. Jaxon wasn't there, she wondered where he was.She cleaned off her body and when she had dried off her hair, she went to the closet to decide what to wear. Jaxon's clothes were there and so also hers but something in her decision to pick up Jaxon's shirt and she put it on.She would like to see how much he could resist her or maybe she just wanted to turn him on.She flipped back her hair and went into the sitting room.****Jaxon was finishing up a call when she walked in. He stopped talking for a moment and stared at her, "Jaxon?" Silas said on the phone, "... what's wrong, is

The next few weeks were used planning the opening of Alva's gallery and Madison was busy with the fashion week. It was hectic as usual and Madison was trying to put on her shoes as it was her turn to walk the runway.She had walked a lot of shows that night and she was tired. She had this last show to run and that was all."Okay give Madison over there a touch of her makeup," the designer they were modeling for directed a makeup artist to her and she got her look touched up."Okay then, you're ready," the man said. She stood in front of the cover to the backstage as she waited for the other model to come in and she went onstage. All eyes were on her or maybe it was the design she wore, she had the looks of everybody on her, she just wished she could smile but she couldn't.She made her turn as she got to the end of the runway and walked back."Okay finally, the group walk," the designer directed.They arranged themselves as they waited for their cue to go onstage and all the models

The next few weeks were hectic for Alva, from going to the gallery to seeing the artist, she had a lot to do before her opening. She was eager to do it."Uhm... We should place that painting to the side..."The paintings were already in frames and they were hanging with other workers and Helen in view, "this is looking beautiful already,""I know right, the paintings are just a good backdrop for the whole setting,""Okay and that would be a wrap," she said after the last painting was hung."Let's take a seat,"They sat down after the workers had all left and it was in Alva's office. The pieces of furniture were already set and the designs were done, "this is all looking good, so the opening is next week right?""Yeah,""I've invited all the people you told me to invite and there are a lot more on my contact list,""Oh thank you, Helen, you're such a lie-saver,"'it's you I should be thanking,""And how is your mum?""She's good. She was happy you came over the last time and the women

They arrived at the Incheon international airport and it was bubbling. A lot of people were going in and out of the terminal and Jaxon grabbed his luggage with Alva's, "okay let's go,""Where are we going?""Just follow my lead okay,"She nodded and followed him going to the parking lot where cars and taxis were parked, "we are going to this place, can you take us there?" He gave a paper to the driver and he nodded."Sure,"They got in and he took them to the Incheon terminal in Korea. She was surprised when they got there, "we're going by ship?""You know I did tell you that I wanted us to go on a cruise together...""Yes you did but I didn't know you meant that,""Of course, I did let's go,"He led her through the rows of ships available and got on one that an attendant led them to, "Mr Jaxon Smith right?" He had asked."Yes,""We got your solo cruise ready, over here,"Thankfully it wasn't Korea he was saying so Alva understood what he was saying, "You got a solo cruise?""Hmm hmm.

Anywhere Helena went to, she always captured people's attention because of her striking beauty even though she didn't dress all classy and gorgeous, but she always had admirers.Her long Raven hair fell to her back almost reaching her bum and enchanting emerald eyes that could put one under a spell.Clinging her fingers round the handle of the carriage, Helena squinted her gaze at the piece of paper in her left hand as she stared at the list of items, her mum had told her to buy in the medium shopping mall not too far from their house.Helena being the free-spirited girl and uhm! Well, always find herself in one trouble and another, she decided to go to big shopping mall located further in town.She hummed, darting her eyes quickly on the shelves in the grocery store as she pushed her carriage slowly.She was so happy today, well, always happy, she picked a can of corn from one of the shelves when she heard a loud voice.“I can't give it to you, old man,” A beautiful girl said firmly

They held the after-party at Jaxon's family house and it was held in the form of a dinner party. They had changed into more comfortable clothes after coming back from the church and they all sat around the table smiling. Jay came to meet her from her sister's laptop where he had been."let's all make a toast to this remarried life and a happy one at that," her father said standing up and the rest of them stood up with their glasses raised."To a happy remarried life!" They all said and drank.They sat down, "let's get to the food then...""Okay,"The housekeeper came to Maria and served the food making sure everything was neat and delicious. It was a feast to say the least, ranging from chicken to fried rice, to steak, there was a whole variety of food and it was to celebrate her, and she was grateful."Thank you, Maria,""It was no big deal, have a nice night, okay?""Okay,"She went back to the kitchen with the assistants that had helped her with the food and they dug in."Wow, this

The opening came sooner than it was expected and Alva had everything in motion. The food, the drinks, and the people coming in, there was a lot."Oh hi Margaret, how are you doing?" She greeted a painter that had brought her work to her."Good and you?""Good too, thank you for accepting my painting,""It's alright, it was worth the gallery,"She smiled and went in bringing into view another client that came in and so and so people started entering. Soon she saw the women that were her kind of companions, Helen, her mom, and the other women, "Oh hi...""Alva, I'm so happy to see this,""It's so nice,""My husband said I must buy one today...""Oh I'll be happy to sell to you and thank you" Alva replied to the ladies and Helen winked at her from the side.They were all wearing elegant clothes and it matched the atmosphere she had set the gallery to be, "we'll have your fill of the artworks, there are also finger foods and wine,""Okay, thank you,"They went to view the arts and Alva sa

They finished picking the clothes and Jessie had picked this beauty of a dress for herself. It was purple, it had wide straps and the edge kind of fell off her shoulders. Josephine had concluded that she wouldn't be wearing any dress as she was okay with the jeans and shirt she always wore while Madison had picked out a black dress, typical of her.Alva on the other hand went with the slim but flay at the end dress and when she had told the attendant what she wanted to be adjusted, they left the shop."So let's go to the bar then, I made a reservation,""Is that alright though, I mean we're going to be drinking and we all brought our cars?""We can call a driver to come drive us,""Oh that's true," Jessie replied and Alva was surprised. She hadn't known she could be a voice of reasoning when they were going through drinking but it was alright."To the bar then,"They all got in their cars and drove to the address that Alva sent them.By the time they got there, they were already hyped
