In the enormous living room stood out a set of bolster cushions made from feathers while covered with bubble wrap. A large painting of a waterfall was positioned on the wall of the living area, it was a three-bedroom, walking into the master suite, a strong smell of whiskey and collagen filled her nostrils, she instantly knew that was Carter's room and bypassed it.There was just a kitchen, each room had its bathroom, and a large balcony with a nice view of the City.She made her way to another room with a large space and a view of the balcony. It looked dull, and she thought a few flowers could brighten it up.She was famished and decided to prepare something. Emerging into the kitchen, there were no appliances, nor was there anything in the fridge. She was exhausted but had to cook up something, so she quickly rushed to the market, halting a cab in other to get there.While at the market, Audrey thought she should also purchase some appliances because she noticed there weren't any i
Carter understood it would be next to impossible to shut his eyes tonight considering his medications were exhausted, and he wasn't going to get a refill soon because the impact on him was slowly weaning.He decided to sit a little more in the living room and give attention to whatever Audrey had to say.He turned on the television while Audrey was doing the dishes in the kitchen." How is the beach design coming up?" her voice was coming from the kitchen" Chloe is doing a good job "" I am speculating she is capitalizing on Lycra fabric, I mean it flexible considering its beach wear, but that's why she is getting the rims wrong"His eyes lit up as realization unexpectedly struck him, why didn't he think of it?" Because it's springy!" He said to himself, but loud enough for her to hear." Boom! Never thought you would figure it out" He opened his mouth to say something but stopped halfway." I would recommend Lurex for the rims because it holds more firmly and will give a perfect ed
Audrey couldn't quit thinking about how a grown-ass man left for work with four cars, while she would have to take the bus or a cab.Her phone rang, making her eyes beam with a smile, seeing Emma calling." Hi girlfriend, tell me how was your first night as a married lady?"" Ahh! Don't go there, would you believe that Crick left for work with four cars and won't give me a lift with the justification he doesn't allow women into his car" Emma couldn't help but giggle loudly." Seems like you married a weirdo, is he gay?"" How am I supposed to know, I couldn't sleep last night because he was having weird nightmares"" Who would have thought the fashion lord does have nightmares? But how is it going, do you think you will be able to cope for a year?"" I don't know, I guess time will tell. He offered me a job at Colton's fashion" Emma's jaw dropped from the other end." He did what?" " Yes. I told him I was going
Mrs. Betty Logan stood outside LOGAN'S FASHION EMPIRE awaiting her son, who had flaunted her order and arrived alone.She wore an elegant gray suit, it was fitted exposing her shape, and her face was fully makeup with an expensive gold hung around her neck.Oliver is the only offspring of Mrs. Betty and the heir to the family company. When Oliver told her he had no interest in fashion and wasn't going to take over, the family's company, she was very devastated and wished her husband was alive to talk some sense into him.Now that he eventually agreed to work at the company, she was so elated that she felt like parading him everywhere, but she also knew she had to take it slowly else he might flip again." Why didn't you come with the convoy, son?"" Because I'm not a politician, what would I need that for? Mom is here to work, not some beauty pageant, so please respect my privacy and let me make my own decisions, " his jaw tightened as he
Audrey washed the dishes and then covered carter, who was sleeping carelessly on the couch, with a blanket. She strode through the balcony, staring at the flowers for countless hours. Although they made the balcony beautiful, she was not satisfied with the outcome.She watched the buzzing street wondering what the new year's trend collection will be, hoping it was going to major out from Colton's fashion.Her eyes were slowly becoming heavy, so she retired back to bed.She woke up right to an unusual sound. She glanced at the time, it was two, midnight. Rubbing her bleary eyes, she could tell where the sound was coming from.She was wearing only a silk nightgown but rushed to the living room where Carter was panting heavily, grabbing the blanket tightly." Mother… No…. Do not kill her… No… No" he mumbled in his sleep.Audrey held his hand, she could feel his fear, it was not just a nightmare, it was a trauma he was yet to get ove
Audrey was astonished when she was requested to stitch the edges of the beachwear, she knew it was a crucial part of the work where Chloe could likely lose face.She stepped on the sewing apparatus and gladly commenced her work. One of the basics she was certain about when it came to designing was a perfect rim, which she slowly perfected.Chloe came in from time to time to supervise the work she was doing and left without uttering a word." You are indeed a genius, even Chloe had nothing to complain about your work, this shows you are good at it," Tommy, who was operating the next machine close to her commented, he was wearing a medicated glass causing his eyelids to appear bolder." I wouldn't say so, I attended the same fashion school as Chloe, so she knows what am capable of" "Tell me what Chloe was like during college, please tell me she wasn't this mean?"" I wouldn't comment on that" She gave a light smile and continued her work.For each beach wear she stitched, it came out pe
Liam stormed out of her office back to the factory, where they all stared at him curiously." Are you going to investigate it or not?" AudreyInterrogated him, both her arms folded, while he walks close to her and whispered into her ear…" Let this slide just today. The boss will make it up to you" And with that, he exits the factory.Audrey bites her lips hard, feeling frustrated while Chloe adjusts the straps of her dress coming back to the factory." Amend those dresses, I will go speak to the boss himself about your dismissal " With her head high up, she walks out of the factory and straight into the elevator.Liam emerged into Carter's office, where he was signing a large pile of documents on his desk, all his focus on his desk." Have resolved the issue," Liam announced as he walked in, but Carter didn't seem interested a bit." You should not get yourself involved in women's affairs, " He advised while his eyes still fixed on the documents." Is that your way of saying thank you
Last night, although he was fast asleep, when he woke up to Audrey beside him, he felt energetic compared to his previous experiences where he would feel sore and moody after a traumatic night. He knew she did something to him that helped relieve his anxiety, and he was grateful for that.While Audrey made dinner, Carter assisted out with little things like slicing onions, and he was terrible at it that Audrey couldn't help but laugh." What funny? Am I doing it wrong" Even as he chopped the onions into big and unequal sizes, he still looked innocent when he asked the question." Not, the sizes are too big, try chopping it to medium, like this" She held his hand that was holding the knife and navigated his hand through the process.He was stunned for a moment, never had he allowed a woman to touch him, but it came unexpected, which made him unable to refute her." Now try it out" She commanded while his gaze still fixed on her.He tried reshaping the onions while he chopped them, and
Audrey glammed up for work in a sleek jumpsuit, she had an early meeting with the board and felt a bit anxious. She grabbed a cup of coffee from the countertop in her kitchen and hurried outside to her car without noticing the figure who was watching her. Abram had to spend the entire night there since he noticed that her movement wasn't consistent. Without much thought on her mind today, besides being anxious, she stepped into her car and sped away. Abram pursues her behind in his red jeep while trying not to cause attention to himself. But just when he thought he found the right spot, another car intercepted him as he tightened his jaw, trying to stay focused Audrey, who was ignorant of what, was happening behind her, kept on memorizing her new proposal for the company. Abram slowly brought out his pistol, while trying to aim properly, he was able to finally get a good picture of her, he heaved a sigh of relief, trying not to smile. He attempts to pull the trigger, bu
Audrey was striding into a supermarket on a Sunday so that she could buy a few items to prepare a meal for Oliver when she had her first bumped into a lady at the front of the store. “ Oh my God, I am sorry, I wasn't looking directly”.“It's alright, you do not have to apologize”. The pregnant lady spoke as she swirled around to Audrey. “ Emma! ”. Audrey called with her eyes popped open while her eyes landed on her tummy. “ Audrey! My mom told me you came around, I was wondering how long it was going to take before our path crossed ”. Emma spoke in a light tone while her face was fueled with disgust for her dear friend, and although she did not say it. Audrey could feel the rage that filled her eyes. “ I am sorry Emma, but I am in a haste right now, we will have to do this some other time”.Audrey spoke, about to leave, but Emma stopped her at her pace. “Audrey! Are you going to do this even with me? ”.“ What are you talking about? ”.“ I am talking about you avoiding everyone
Audrey felt like she was at the top of the world, she was smiling so brightly that her cheeks started to hurt. “ She looks just like you”. James commented as he stood close to Audrey, she immediately dabbed her tears. “ And she seems smart”.“ Brilliant, just like you. Audrey, I don't know what is going on, but I know that it must be tough on you to look at your daughter and not be able to tell her who you are”. James exclaimed carefully, his tender gaze fixed on Audrey, who let the tears out. “ It was not easy for me all these years, Mr. Cornell bears so many grudges at me, and he will make that I never come close to his son”.“ I am so sorry about that, Mr. Cornell is a dangerous man, I do not know what he has on you, but I believe that if you speak to Carter, he can help you ”.“ No… No… Please, do not tell him that I met with his daughter, … ”.“ Alright, if you like, I could always bring her to visit you on weekends”.“ Thank you so much, James, you don't know what this means
After dinner, Carter retired back to his room, while Chloe followed behind. He had his laptop on while he sat at the desk in his room. “ Carter, I think that Mona might end up growing fond of me”.“ Yes, I think so too, I hear you are responsible for the designs that we're just concluded”.“ Yes, what do you think of them? ”.“ They are lovely, but I doubt that it should be merely a color, don't you think you should add a few spices to it? ”.“ That is not a bad idea, I will amend it tomorrow, but for now, you should come to bed”. Chloe lifts her breast as she creases his bare chest from behind while shutting his laptop with the other hand. “ Chloe, I am sorry, but I have to wrap up a few things”.“ You can wrap them up tomorrow, you know after your therapy with Doctor Elliot finally worked, and you could touch any woman without. I was extremely excited that you could finally be with me without any restrictions, but now, you won't even look at me”. She placed a kiss on his neck so
Audrey inhaled and exhaled deeply before sitting down again, she could tell that she was feeling off since Carter stormed into her office. After staying away for a while, she only came back because she thought that he didn't affect her again. But just the sound of his name, mentioned at her office, sent her over the edge. “ I am sorry Oliver, I have been through so much and so difficult getting used to it”.“ I understand, and if it pleases you, we could leave, start a life together, and you can have all the kids you desire”.He exclaimed as he squeezes her hand gently, but she pulled her hand away, suddenly itching the back of her hair. “It's alright, I know you still haven't warmed up to me, but Audrey, I am here for you, I have been here for you for the past six years, why it can't grow even a little feeling for me”.“ Oliver, it is not as easy as you think, Carter and I shared so much together, I might have gotten over my feelings for him. But I haven't forgotten the memories
Staring at the room Auntie Gianna just finished cleaning, Audrey couldn't help but fall to the ground as she wailed. The time she spent with Carter in that room flooded her memories as she sat there staring at the bed she had shared a happy night with. Auntie Gianna steps in and quickly tucks her into her arms. “ My poor Audrey, you have been through so much, I can't begin to imagine what you have been through, but it's alright, soon things will work out well for you”.She gently taps her back and all Audrey could do was sob loudly until she finally felt exhausted. Audrey decided to take a nap, and Auntie Gianna was excited that she was getting some sleep. *** Carter got dressed for work and was about to leave when a little girl with fair skin had her hair braided into two parts used to him. “ Daddy! You are leaving so early again without breakfast! ”.She exclaimed while her nanny Marianne stood beside her. Carter could live with the memories of Audrey at the condo after she
It was lunch hour when Carter heard a slight knock at the door as Chloe walked through. “ Hi dear, still busy as usual, let's go have lunch”.“ You can go ahead, I will meet you there”.“ You are doing that again, you have to eat well to be able to work well, besides I have something I need to discuss with you”.“ What is it about? ”.“ Our trendy collection has been getting squashed by a recent nameless company that is trying to trend”.“That's odd, it is not every day I see a designer who gets to squash yours, do you need any help? ”.“ Yes, please, help me find a way to get rid of that company or better still, buy it off! ”.“ Chloe, You can't keep trying to get rid of every competition, you need to be able to deal with it by creating a design better than theirs, you need to prove yourself in the fashion world”.“Haven't I done that?”.“ You don't get to do that just once, you need to do it at all times, keep proving yourself until everyone is satisfied. What is the name of this c
Liam and Emma stood in the living room that belonged to Audrey and Carter, while Carter locked himself up in her room. “ What are we going to do? ”. Emma asks as she bites her lower lip. “ I do not know, your friend, she hurt him so badly”.“ I still do not believe that Audrey left just like that, something must be wrong somewhere”.“ You are still trying to defend her, she left her husband and child, that is so cruel of her, who would do something like that? ”.“ Audrey would never leave just like that, I do not care what others say, but Audrey is not a cruel person who would abandon her child”.“ Keep lying to yourself, right now, I do not know how Carter is ever going to be able to come out of this again”.Liam heaved a sigh, falling on the couch. “ Baby Mona needs him now, we have to find a way to help him out”.“ If you want to help out, find your friend and find out why she did such a thing”. Liam exclaims before going back to the door, banging at it loudly even though he kne
Emma kept calling Audrey, but after each rang, it went to voicemail, she had to keep tracing the phone down to Audrey's car which was locked with her phone in it. Emma guessed that Audrey might have found a way to the hospital, but there was no trace of Audrey at KELTINE hospital, so she had to call Carter, who picked up at first. “ Emma! I was just about to call you, I missed my wife's call today, but have been trying to call her, and she is not picking up”.“ She called me earlier today saying she labors and was in traffic, I told her that I was coming to her location, but on getting here, her car and phone were all I found”.“ Oh my God! I doubted that her labor would start this early, you should check her at the hospital”.“ That is what I also thought, but she is not there, there is no trace of her coming anywhere close to the hospital”.“ Where could she be right now, I have to find a way and get home as soon as possible, I will call my security personnel and ask them to find
