Delilah was definitely enjoying the attention that was now laid on her as she sat down with her brother to enjoy the view of the environment. A bottle of champagne was served in front of them with two glasses then some chopped fruits and fried chicken was placed beside them to enjoy with their meal. "It's been a while since we came out here." Delilah started speaking. Gabriel picked up the bottle of champagne and opened it slowly as he allowed the gas to release itself before pouring the content into their different cups. He smiled as he looked beyond the horizon. "I agree though." "Yeah, thank you." She said as she collected the glass of champagne and sipped it. "I heard Mrs. Young announce that you will become her daughter-in-law." He glanced at her. "I was surprised too when I heard it but I think she might have said that because she wanted to calm the ongoing rumors about her son." Gabriel relaxed on the chair and removed his sunglasses. "Really? That doesn't
Hera refused to go to work for the past few days since the whole rumor started. At this point, she just didn't care if she was going to lose her job or not. She was anxious about people's gaze on her and she didn't come online for some time too for fear of being questioned.It was finally another Monday morning, she was dressing up I'm in front of the mirror for work. What added to her depression was that Zach didn't call her. There were no text messages from him at all. This somehow affected her mental state of heart. "Is he really going to get married to her if the wedding holds?" She mumbled as she wore her long-sleeved shirt.Just then, Austin came into her room, dressed in his uniform. "Mum, someone is knocking on the door." He informed her. Hera looked at him and then nodded. "I am coming." He smiled and jumped away from the door to the sitting room. Yeah, that was the only bundle of joy that she had.When she got to the door, she looked at the camera and her heart san
Zach had been driving along the road with no clear destination in mind. He wasn't drunk this time but he felt that his mind was already hazy throughout the week. It was finally the Weekend and this was the first time he was feeling this miserable over a relationship.He felt lonely and needed someone to talk with. He just wasn't sure if the person he trusted would be able to accept him. After driving around for a while, he parked the car beside the roadside and sighed. He placed his head on the steering wheel and drummed his fingers against it before lifting his head a little bit.He relaxed on the chair and pulled it backward so he would be able to rest. Zach reached out to his phone and unlocked it, he scrolled towards the contact information that he had and stopped when he got to the HER name. He was contemplating whether to call her or not. After a while of not being able to get to a conclusion, he put down the phone and thought about the issue. He had been avoiding her...he refu
It was finally Monday and things had taken a whole other level for Hera. She dressed up happily for a new day of work. She had that spirit and motivation in her to bounce back to her feet which she did. Austin also was getting dressed in his uniform. He was glad that Daddy was coming to drop him off at his school today.He would be able to boast to everyone that he had a rich daddy too who would buy him all the gadgets that he needed. The mother and son came out of their rooms at the same time, stared at each other for a while, and then burst into laughter heartily. "Do you have your things ready?" She asked him. "Yes, mummy." "If you have anything that you would like to tell me or if anyone is bothering you, do you know who you are supposed to run to?" She questioned again as she made his cereal for him. "Yes, my teacher." "That's my boy." "Did you do all your arithmetic equations right? No basic questions." "Hmm." He answered with his mouth full. "Do you nee
Immediately after they entered the company, Blake who was addressing the Boss's fifteen stopped and stared at his friend. Was this a sign that cleaning after his mess was enough? The two of them stopped and Zach turned towards her. "Will I see you during lunch?" "No, I will be hanging out with Anna and others." "Then should I drop you off after work?" "Yes, please. Thank you." "See you then," Zach said and his eyes lingered on her forehead for a while before diverting them to her eyes. It seemed as if he was asking her for permission to do it and her, blinking in return showed that she had no problem with it. So he went ahead and kissed her on her forehead.Everyone was shocked including Blake and Anna as they watched the two of them display their affection in front of the world.Blake's eyes and that of Anna met briefly. What in the world?Zach waved at his workers who in return bowed their heads repeatedly to greet him. He hung his arm around Blake's neck and pulled him along t
Selena walked out of another entertainment company that had invited her for a talk. She was in a good mood after discussing with them and was pleased. Even though the company wasn't as big as where she was, everyone was nice to her and accommodating. This was the type of environment that she wanted to work in. A non-toxic environment to begin with.Sometimes, one just has to let go of what is considered famous but void for one's inner peace and that was what she wanted.She was done trying to make her way known in that wicked company. She was going to sign under another company and make her fame there. This was her decision as she entered the cab that she had ordered.**********Hera was invited to an interview about her work. Her work had slowly been getting fame under the Young Corporation and people wanted to speak to her about it. This was her first time getting interviewed. Zach didn't want her to go through the whole process because he thought that it was going to stress her o
Hera was staring at the interviewer for a while, she was thinking about how else she would be able to answer the question without sounding rude or trying to say too much. Her question was; "Miss Hera, shifting to what had been brought to the media about you, what do you have to say to this? Are you really dating Mr. Zach?" She asked Hera.The latter thought deeply about it for a while before answering. "Why does everyone seem to be interested in that?" She chuckled.The host of the show smiled, "It's nothing personal but then I know that many of the viewers are going to be as curious as I am right now. Moreover, if you can say something about this to the public maybe it will reduce the case of the rumor. Mrs. Jennie Young Albert already mentioned that Miss Delilah and Mr. Zach are going to get engaged very soon on a not yet arranged date.What do you have to say to this?" "I have nothing to say to it. Mr Zach is her son but that still doesn't give her the right to decide who he is
Zach got called into his father's room by the time he got home. He had not been coming home frequently because he just couldn't deal with the pressure from his mum however he didn't totally abandon them as that was going to be bad. He just made sure to avoid his mum whenever he felt like she was going to start saying something that could anger him. Zach just didn't understand why they were so hell-bent on him not being with Hera. Hera was totally the nicest girl that he had ever known so why were they going so extreme, especially his mother?At this point, he was inside his parents' bedroom. His mother was not at home because there was no sign of her around. Zach patiently waited for his father to come out of his closet, fully dressed before greeting him. "Good evening, Dad." Ezekiel looked at him and nodded, "Hmm. It's been a while. How are you doing?" He asked and sat on the bed with his legs on it after jamming them together to get the dirt off. "I am doing fine. Where is mu
