Floyd stared at the dining table, he was just coming back from a meeting which he left to Aspen to round up. Nicole had surprisingly been a faithful and less nagging fiancee these days that Floyd always thought she had been delivered from whatever demonic spirit was battling with her. She had started taking her culinary class seriously, even now she tried to prepare meals for the both of them including his mother. She placed the last dish on the table with a grin as she turned to him."Mother once told me that a way to a man's heart is food." She said. Floyd tilted his head to the side to access her, he pursed his lips and moved towards her. She had a particular glint in her eyes that Floyd could not pin point what it was. He sat down and watched how she dutifully served him. He bit his lips, contemplating whether to eat it because he did not know how it would taste, spicy? Tasty? Salty?He could say he was quite scared. He reluctantly picked his spoon and dug into the food she made.
Weeks later, the relationship between Ace and Aspen had grown quite well. Ace will come over to play with the kids even though Cora always hide from him. And sometimes, Aspen would meet him and they will talk about most of their experience with Aspen saying little of hers even when he tried to pry for more out of her. She would always evade it with a smile as she still felt insecure.And tonight was one of those nights where she would take a walk with him back to his house. Ace suddenly stopped and she did too. He looked her in the eye and scratched the back of his neck."I know this might sound weird but I have been thinking about it for a while. I..." He hesitated, swallowing hard. "I will love to date you. Like just give us the chance." He finally said. Aspen was quite shocked at what Ace said. She did not know how to reply, she just stood there surprised that he would ask her such. Like it never occurred to her that he would her ask such thing. He never showed that kind of interes
Nicole was quite scared as she stayed over at Floyd's house. She did not know what to do. Even Floyd's mother had gone to bed with worry. And yet Floyd still did not open the door or answer her calls.He had just slept off, forgetting everything and woke up the next morning. He did his casual things before exiting the room, praying to God that he does not meet his mother but it seemed he prayed too late as he saw Nicole placing some tray of food down on the table. She seemed to notice him and looked at him head to toe, he had a suitcase in his hands which meant one thing, that he was headed to the company. "What are you doing here?" He asked her, his eyes staring at her with spite. Nicole swallowed softly and smiled."Mother called me last night, saying something bad had happened to you and I rushed over but ..." She trailed off as she finally noticed his bursted lips and the bruise on the left part of his eye. He raised his right brow and she moved closer to him."What happened? Did
When Floyd arrived at home, he noticed the house was at peace and he was quite okay with it. He went to the kitchen and cooked some meal for himself. It was something he taught himself to do, to cook for himself. He did most of it when Aspen had just left, he refused to eat when the rest of the people were awake. He would come back late and cook for himself, avoiding everyone.When he was done with the preparation, he picked the chop sticks and dug them into the noodles he made. He slowly swallowed them and after he had finished he washed the dish. The shuffling of feet behind him made him whirl his head to the side."That is not how you behave towards a lady who is your fiancee." His mother told him, walking towards him and adding water to her jug.Floyd let out a deep sigh and shook his head. "Mother, she asked for a break which I gladly obliged to. Tell me what else do you want me to do? You asked to divorce Aspen, I did. You asked me to send to the doctor for some useless abortion
Floyd felt someone scrambling up beside him. His brows creased together as he forced his eyes open, only to see a naked Nicole smiling sheepishly at him. He jerked up immediately and gave her a confused look."What are you doing here?" He questioned her.She moved closer to him. "I... I missed your touch." She whispered to him, glancing around as if someone was watching them. Floyd was confused even more."Didn't we establish that we are on break?" He asked her and she blinked her eyes before gulping softly."I wanted to tell you something." She told him, her chest heaving in the process."I... I am pregnant." She said, her voice almost inaudible. Floyd's ears rang and it felt like he was suddenly thrown in the red sea. He stared at her like she had not just told him that she was carrying his child... No... She was pregnant. "For who?" He asked, still in shock.She raised her brows at his question. "What do you mean by that? You are the only one I have ever been with?" She told him an
Floyd left work early and went to meet with Nicole who had a bright smile on her face on seeing that he came early. The discussion he and Aspen were having was replaying in his head as they drove to her parents house."I tried calling you this morning before you left for work but you were in a hurry to leave, I know that you did not expect the news. I have this feeling that you are going to be the best father to our kids." She told him.Floyd did not reply her, instead he focused on the road. She smiled and looked away. She knew he was not going to take it easily. That was why she decided to take him to her parents.They soon reached there and he stepped out before her. She waited for him to open the door for her but he had taken some steps forward when he realized what she wanted. He stopped and turned to her with blank look."Really?" He mouthed to her. She blinked and smiled more.He clenched his jaw and started his walk into their house. Surprise coated her face at the way he walk
"Floyd," Loretta called from downstairs. Floyd closed his eyes tight because he knew what she wanted to say. It has been the cycle of things in the house. She would ask him to get something for Nicole on his way back from work but he won't because he will tell her that Nicole was not broken. He calmly exited his office and went downstairs to meet the mother and daughter. He gave them a blank look as he has been giving them ever since Nicole broke the news of her pregnancy. "What is it?" He asked.Loretta pursed her lip and gave him a reprimanding look. "Since your wife is in this condition, you should be close to her and not far from her. She said her head is aching her. Come and give her a head massage." She told.Floyd did not know how the snort slipped past him and hurt flashed across Nicole's face. "I am already late for work. You can do the massaging." He told his mother and turned to leave.Hopping into his car, he started his drive to the company. As soon as he got there, he
Just as Aspen got down from the cab, she headed inside only for her to meet a bouquet of flowers at the entrance of her apartment. She glanced around the place to look if anyone was close. Or it might be her stalker.Cautiously, she picked it and a card fell off from it. She bent to pick it and she read what was written on it.'Aspen, please give me a chance. Think about it.' -Ace.A sigh escaped from her and she dropped her head. This guy still doesn't get it.It was not like she did not want to date him. She just doesn't want to date. She did not want to get attracted and then get her heart broken again.She did not think she could ever open up to a man the way she did with Floyd. It was not like she was still stuck with the past, but still she learned from experience. Without reason, their marriage was ruined.She still wondered to the day why Floyd had divorced her. All through those years when she left, something kept telling her that it was not because she was 'barren'. She kne

.A Week Later.Aspen and Floyd with the kids stood before her mother’s grave as tears ran down her face. That was what she has been doing for the past week. Crying, thinking, and inability to sleep.She hardly ate even though Floyd tried his best. Benny has been buried just in the place he wanted., beside his parents.Floyd rubbed her shoulders as she laid her head on his chest. She pulled away and laid the flowers she had gotten down before her mother’s grave.Glory Lockhart.She rose back and was about to turn to leave when she came face-to-face with Cole. More tears rolled down her eyes as she lost control and ran towards him.“Dad!” She cried.He blinked back the tears and held her tight. He has also been searching for her ever since Anita claimed that she sent her to the orphanage. When he met her, he had a connection with her and he resumed searching for her again. That was when he was told that she was his daughter.“Becca.” He called her actual name.“Dad!” She sniffled and pu
Floyd went towards her and read the note with her. Anita? Nicole’s mother. What has she got to do with all of these?Aspen squeezed the note in her hand as anger surged through her veins. Anita has gone too far.How dare she lay her filthy hands on her kids? She was definitely going to regret it.It was also written in the letter that she should come alone with Floyd without the cops. The address was dropped.“Anita! That bitch.” She gritted out.She turned around and handed the paper over to Floyd who collected it from her. “The kids are with Anita. We need to meet her. Might as well settle an old score with her.” She said, her eyes looking ahead.“How did they get to her?” He asked, completely confused.Aspen looked him in the eye. “It is a long story. I will tell you after everything is over.” She said.He nodded and they both stepped out and got into the car. He picked up his phone and made a call to his friend who was a cop. As he drove on the road, they discussed the plan on how
Nicole has been trying to get to her father but it seemed like he had blocked her. And she could not go back into that house because her mother was starting to suspect her.She hid here at her father’s villa and tried to reach him but she knew her mother would catch up with her soon. It could be her mother’s hand works too.She was beyond frustrated and helpless. She wanted to stop her mother and could not.Her father - she should stop calling him her father. Not like he was anywhere.Just as she was about to try it again, the door creaked open and she could hear the clicking of heels against the tiles floor.Her mother was here.Sweats dropped down her forehead as she rose up to check for her. “Mother?” She called out.Anita appeared right before her. Nicole trailed her gaze from her feet to her face, slightly glancing at her right hand where she held a gun.“M-Mom, w-what are you d-doing with a gun?” She stuttered, stepping back slightly.Anita’s lips which were painted with a deep
Anna was busy playing with the kids when her phone rang. She had picked it and Daisy’s voice came through. “Did you see the message I sent to you?” her voice had an edge of mischief to it.“What message is that?” Anna asked, not wanting to entertain her.Daisy pulled up a smirk. “Oh! You have not checked it. No wonder you seem so calm. A piece of advice... Check it.” With that, she disconnected the call.Anna hurriedly looked through her messages box and there, she found what Daisy had sent her. Her eyes went wide as she saw the image. It was her mother. She was taped from her mouth to her legs.What the hell was Daisy doing?She rushed out of the apartment, not even caring to look at the kids. She got into the nearest stop and signaled at a cab that stopped right in front of her. She showed him the address and sat back, different thoughts circulating her entire mind. She was so restless that she would sometimes get lost in her thoughts.If that fucker does anything to her mother, sh
Two weeks later, Aspen has been recovering as hard as she could. She was still yet to tell anyone about getting back her memory.She was never Floyd’s sister. All of these have been Nicole’s mother's plot from the very beginning.She did not want to tell Floyd because he knew how he would be crazy. She wanted to confront the lady by herself. No wonder everything in that house felt so familiar. No wonder she felt a strong connection to Glory the day she had seen the picture.Anna and Richard had told her about Sheba working for Ace and she was quite shocked. She was in total shock because she trusted her with her kids’ life but what could she do?She was even told that Ace no longer lived there. It was good for him. “How do you feel?” Floyd asked, rubbing her palms. She smiled softly.“Better.” She replied.He smiled at her. She stared at his face, his stubble was not visible. He looked like he has not had a good night's sleep in a long time.“How about you go home to take some rest a
Her mother and the driver were having sex before her. The way he slammed into her made her shake her head to see if she was imagining things. There was no way her mother would cheat on him. They soon finished and she made sure to hide properly.“How was it?” That was her mother’s voice.“I did it. It was a success. She flew out of the car like a piece of paper in the wind.” He laughed.Who were they talking about?“So what is the next stage to plan?” He asked her.“Kill Cole. I will pressurize him to put everything in our daughter, Nicole’s name and I will poison him with an incense I had gotten.” She informed him.Nicole did not know if she was hearing correctly. She was not Cole’s daughter? She was the driver’s daughter. No wonder he stayed away from her and sometimes stared at her with an emotion she could not understand but now everything was clearer.She hurriedly tiptoed her way out of the house, making sure no one noticed she came. She ran towards her father’s villa. Her mother
Floyd was busy playing with the kid even though his mind was on Aspen.She was yet to be back.Floyd’s phone rang and he jerked up. He was expecting it to be Aspen but he picked it, and a different person’s voice came on. “Hi, am I speaking to Floyd Wolfe?” “Yes.” He replied.“I found your contact as one of the emergency contacts on this person’s phone.” He said again.“Who am I speaking with?” He asked.“Your wife has been admitted into the hospital. I will send you the address now. Your presence is needed.” The person said and hung up.Aspen was in the hospital? How did she get there? How?His phone beeped with a message and it was the address as the person said. He turned to the kids and then to Sheba who seemed scared. “Take care of the kids. I need to get to someplace.” He told her.He did not even peck the kids as he stomped out of the house. He did not care that it was raining. He ran towards the street stop to get a cab. He finally got one and he passed the address to him. Hi
Å for ACE!Aspen sniffed in and turned to Floyd. “Please can you give me your car key?” She asked.Floyd nodded and handed the key over to her. She stomped out of the house with Floyd yelling after her.“Aspen, you can’t drive in this state. Let me take you there.” He told her but she turned to him.“No, stay with the kids. They would be back soon and as for me, I will be back.” She said and entered the car before driving off. She checked the address on Benny’s letter, he had written it there. She located it and soon reached there.As she stepped out, what came into view was not something she had ever expected Ace to own. It was totally different from what he looked like. She remembered vividly when he had said that he wished his company looked like Benny’s clothing line but this... This was definitely more than Benny’s own.She slammed the door shut and clutched the papers in her hands. She began to March towards the entrance. As soon as she entered, the receptionist’s signature voi
