Oyinda Matthew steps out of Liam's office and stares at all the open-glass offices.She clicks her stiletto hard on the tiled floor, staring around and standing in one spot.She sighs and walks back to Anita's office to see her, as she still doesn't understand why the CEO actually sacked his previous secretary. Oyinda was shocked to receive the news.She walks in and asks, "Where's the CEO's assistant's office?" still standing."Oh, the next two offices," Anita points to the office, and Oyinda Matthew observes that the young lady seems oblivious to whether she's angry with her or not."Okay," she says, walking out and making her way towards the assistant's office.Oyinda keeps her gaze focused to see when the boss will actually step out of his office and leave, as he was previously standing when she left him.She stares at Brown, who gestures for her to sit."How may I help you, ma'am?" Brown asks her, and Oyinda sighs again and stares at him."I am here regarding the partnership deal
Detective Noah helps Anita get out of the police station building, and they both stand out in the police yard."I am sorry about your father's case," he says.Anita pulls away from his hold and nods, "Thank you."She turns to leave, and he adds, "You will have to find a lawyer for him, as that's the only option he has left."Anita nods and walks out of the station, looking so miserable.Alfred Martin is driving past the police station and slows down as he reverses his car.He sees Anita and drives backward, wondering if he's not seeing double."Is that not Liam's secretary?" he asks himself, as he has forgotten her name.Alfred is actually driving home to his father's mansion when he decides to take the shortcut, passing the route beside the police headquarters.He slows down and parks in front of Anita, but she isn't even aware of him as she walks past his car, heading for the nearest bus station to stand."Hello!" Alfred calls after Anita, having forgotten her name."Excuse me, wait!
Martin goes into the living room and bursts out laughing. "Like seriously, sister, when did you start doing all this?." "What?!" Temisa asks him, crossing her arms around her chest, and looks at him. "Sister, don't pretend with me. You went shopping for who again?" Temisa smiles as she shrugs her shoulders. "Don't worry about your sister, Martin." She pretends so much. "She probably saw the CEO and fell for him," Mrs. Bianca explains. "Mother!, how can you say that?" Temisa seems humiliated. "Did Mother lie?" Martin asks her, and she smiles. "I do not have time for this question right now. "I am going upstairs." Temisa swiftly walks past Martin while mounting the living room stairs, and she hears her mother say, "Your sister is just a funny creature, and you shouldn't pay attention to her." "Do you believe her mother? She's the same girl who refused to work for the Benson Group; now she's tripping for the same man she referred to as a useless CEO!" "Don't mind your sister. I k
Felicia stares at Martin's face unexpectedly. She cannot kiss him, as she hasn't entirely recovered from the first kiss. "Just go." She points to the door, and he adds, "No, except you give me another kiss." Martin hasn't entirely recovered from the kiss either, as her lips are as soft and smooth . When his hard lips brush against hers, he wants more and cannot wait anymore. "No, Brother. I mean, Martin, just leave. Before Felicia can finish her phrases, Martin approaches her, forces her to the wall again, and presses his lips against hers again. He kisses her hungrily, and her knees weaken as she clutches him for support. He carries her up to her bed, then drops her and crosses over her. "What're you trying to do?" Felicia asks him as her heart panics. She sits up, but Martin bends over and continues kissing her passionately. Felicia becomes more puzzled as Martin kisses her earlobe, lips, her face, and she is unable to push him away or scream out. The power supply in her
Temisa is in her room, organizing her things in her wardrobe while admiring the long gown she bought at the boutique. She wants to look like a true wife and please her future husband's family, so she chose and purchased the greatest gown she could find. She chooses a blue gown that complements her new blue shoe, and she is pleased with it. She enters her bathroom to take a bath, and she recalls what her brother had said. She had told him that she wasn't interested in the CEO or cared about his appearance since she didn't want to wear an oversized outfit to work at the time, but now she can wear a triple-sized outfit and have him all to herself. Temisa recalls Anita telling her that she should be grateful because the CEO does not have time for other women, unlike other well-known CEOs. She smiles and removes her clothes to take a bath, then walks towards her basket to place her dirty clothes in her basket of old clothing. She picks up her room television remote and turns off the t
Anita doesn't say anything to her mother as she gets up from her seat and proceeds to the kitchen to return her used dish. It's late, and most of her sisters are already asleep, so she chooses to wash and rinse her own soiled dish to keep it clean. Just then, her mother opens the kitchen door and goes in, sighing and apologizing: "I'm sorry, mom." "It's fine?" Mrs. Tonia answers by storing her used dish in the kitchen sink. "Goodnight," she says to Anita before leaving the kitchen, while Anita sighs and takes up her mother's used dish to wash it. She rinses it out and retains it, as well as the sponge, and organizes the kitchen neatly before finally leaving the kitchen and returning to her room for a quick shower. She shakes her head as she recalls the man who offered to drive her home. "What does he want from me?" she asks herself as she opens her room door and steps in. "I could have accepted, but I don't trust him," she says as she enters her bathroom and strips before takin
Anita leaves her compound and closes the main gate as she heads to the nearest bus stop to catch a bus to the industrial regions. After paying her fees, she gets on the next available bus and arrives at the industrial district bus stop. Anita hops off the bus and walks into the busy, crowded street, where many workers also navigate their way to their workplaces. She arrives at the main entrance gate of the Benson group of firms early and lines up, unlike the previous day. Anita looks at the line of large automobiles pulling into the company and wishes she had enough money to buy a car for her mother, who has always wanted to own and drive one. Since her father was detained, he hasn't been home, and the bank has automatically seized his car because she has not seen it since her father left for work and didn't return home. She stands in line, wondering why the bank personnel have yet to arrive at their residence to give them a quiet notice to depart. Anita sighs as the line mov
Anita looks at Liam's face and stammers, "I don't have any oversized clothes, so I wear my mother's." "Hmph!" Liam groans and returns to his desk, where he sits on his client seat, facing her, swirling it. "And you decide to wear this ridiculous outfit to work. How about the one you wore the prior day?" "The red one looked better, and the brown one is more suitable for you," he continues. "Oh." Anita blushes and looks adorable in his eyes. "My friend bought it for me," she explains, and Liam stiffens. "Which friend?" He asks her, which shouldn't have been a problem, but he wanted to know if she has a man in her life or a female friend. He merely wanted to see if she had a partner before asking why she offered her phone number to his client. Brown knocks and steps into Liam's office, rarely waiting for his boss's response. He notices the lovely secretary standing in front of his boss, sitting in the client seat rather than his customary boss seat, as the seat has been design
Liam doesn't say anything as he stands watching the two friends reunite and forgive each other. They finally stand up, and Temisa walks over to see the twin babies in their little baby bed in the living room."Wow, they look so much like Liam, but my baby resembles me more than Alfred," Temisa says, while Anita only smiles at her."It's all good, girlfriend. I wish you both a happy married life, and I will be your bridesmaid on your wedding day," Temisa proposes, and Anita shakes her head."Flora already filled that position. You will only join the train.""Okay, dear. I have to be on my way now. You know I just darted out from the house as soon as Alfred told me about your babies and that you're here with Liam. Take good care of yourself, girlfriend, as you look slim," Temisa says, while Anita nods to her."I will. Let me escort you," Anita feels all the previous heaviness in her heart disappear, and she walks out of the mansion with Temisa.They walk to the garage where Temisa's car
Mrs. Tonia quickly greets Mrs. Juliet, "Good evening, ma'am.""Yes, welcome. Let's go in first," Mrs. Juliet ushers them into her living room. Just then, Mr. Taiye walks in too and sees the visitors, noticing Liam carefully carrying a baby in his arms. He recognizes the familiar lady as his son's secretary and immediately knows the babies are the result of the encounter they had in Liam's office."Good evening, Father," Liam happily greets his father. Mr. Taiye nods to all their greetings, while Anita nervously stares downward, feeling uncomfortable, remembering Mr. Taiye had warned her to stay clear of his son and never show her face in his company again."Mother, here are your grandkids," Liam walks over to meet his mother, who is sitting on the living room couch. He carefully places the baby boy in her arms, and Mrs. Juliet is still in shock as Liam never told her his secretary was pregnant or that he was bringing his babies home.Mr. Taiye is the most confused as he remembers he w
"Are you married?" Liam finally asks, sounding hurt. Anita shakes her head and replies, "No.""Then how come the babies?" Liam asks as he finally saunters over to meet her. He has missed her so much, and he doesn't look himself because of her."Anita," Liam finally approaches her, and she turns to face him, and he sees she's crying."I'm sorry," Anita cries, and Liam crosses the thin line between them and hugs her warmly."It's okay. I've missed you. I do love you," Liam comforts her in a hug, hoping whoever got her pregnant or married her doesn't step in and catch him hugging his wife.Anita wants to pull away from Liam as she inhales his cologne, realizing she's crying into his chest, but Liam hugs her tighter and raises her chin to face him."Don't you miss me?" he asks, and Anita sniffs."I do," she replies."And you don't want to kiss me or welcome me?"Anita finally raises her head properly and looks up at Liam's face.He looks sick too, so unlike him, and his beard is overgrown
Anita doesn't say anything as she watches her mother dress up in a green gown while she breastfeeds her little daughter, who sucks a lot, wanting to drain the remaining energy she has left."I have to go out now and buy everything we will need to eat tonight. There's no food in the kitchen, and I don't want to disturb Mama and her in-law.""Okay, Mom."Anita watches her mother walk out of the room. She carefully places her little girl down and walks to her phone to see all the text messages Liam sent to her. Her heartbeat increases as she unlocks her phone screen.She sees a lot of texts from him and love emojis and she smiles, staggering backward to sit on her bed to read his texts."What happened to you? Your mom said you got discharged from the hospital. Are you alright now? Not to worry, I will be coming down to your village to see you. But why did you shut us all out? I have really missed you. Honestly, I cannot stop thinking about the love we made, and I'm glad your mom finally
Mrs. Tonia pulls away from the mother-to-daughter hug and stares at Anita's face."It's okay, stop crying. Why did you run away, and who did you sleep with?" Mrs. Tonia questions as she walks to look at her grandkids.She stares at the two cute babies who are also awake and staring at her. She gasps in surprise as she isn't mistaken—the babies look so much like Liam, the CEO of Benson Group. She stares back at Anita, who’s also looking at her, and then back at the twin babies in their baby bed."Anita, who got you pregnant?" Mrs. Tonia asks again while Alice finally walks over to hold her hand."We can discuss this at home. Let it rest while we leave the hospital first."Mrs. Tonia sighs and looks from Alice to Anita and back to her grandbabies.They're so cute and fair, and now she knows why the CEO has kept on asking her about Anita.So he's the one that got her daughter pregnant and slept with Anita the very day he delayed her at work and made her return home late.Mrs. Tonia tries
Anita wakes up that evening with a light headache. She sits up in her bed and eats the dinner Alice brought for her from home."How are you feeling now? You need to breastfeed your babies and not starve them," Alice says. Anita finally looks at them as her eyes clear, and seeing one of them crying, Alice speaks to her."She's a girl, while the calm one here is a boy." Alice hands over the baby girl to Anita, who stares at her beautiful daughter's face.Her baby girl looks so much like Liam; even though she's very fair like her, her baby's short curly hair and round cute face resemble Liam so much. Anita's heart skips a beat as she keeps staring at her baby instead of breastfeeding her."Why are you still staring at her? Give her your breast milk" Alice finally yells at Anita, snapping her out of her daze. Anita opens up her shirt and breastfeeds her baby.The little girl in her arms stops crying after a while as she sucks on her breast. As if the second baby is aware, he resumes cryin
"I know," Liam replies and smiles back."But I still miss Anita and want to see her account," he says."Tell me the truth, boss. Do you just miss Anita, or are you in love with her and have a crush on her?" Temisa asks, and she sees Liam smile, which already answers her question."Just send me Anita's profile name. Let me search for her first.""Okay, I will," Temisa replies as she sits up properly."What about Alfred?" Liam finally asks her as he sees her sit up."He's not yet home. You know he runs the hotels and club too, cheating on me," Temisa pouts."He's not. He complains about you starving him," Liam tells her, and Temisa gasps."He said that? I know Alfred is so shameless," Temisa replies, and just then Alfred returns and walks into their room, as they both use one room together. Even though the room was his before she moved into his family house. His mother had insisted they must share a room together as a couple, and he clearly heard her call him a shameless man."Who are y
The line goes still for a while."Which sister are you talking about?" Barrister Jude asks."Oh, I just remembered I have her number, as her husband's case is with me. Mrs. Tonia, of course. Don't you know your sister again?" Mr. Collins questions."Oh, you mean her daughter is in the village? Which one?""I don't know her name yet, but she's white and very fair. She just gave birth to twins, making your sister a grandmother now.""Oh! You mean Anita?" Barrister Jude asks."Is that her name? Well, I don't know. I'm just seeing her for the first time now. Let me contact your sister then. I forgot I recently got her number due to her husband's case."Mr. Collins quickly ends the call, not giving Barrister Jude any more chances to question him. He cannot believe the silly man didn't want to help his in-law because of some past silly stories. He had to pity Mrs. Tonia and helped her case as he used to admire her when she hadn't married Mr. Joshua."Hello," Mr. Collins stands outside the h
Liam stares downward, not wanting to meet Mrs. Tonia's angry gaze, as he suspects she knows about the night he made love to Anita, but probably doesn't know who exactly slept with her.Was that why Anita left? What's really going on? he wonders."Actually, ma'am, I heard from her friend that she's going through a lot, and I don't know if I can help, but perhaps that will make her return.""Help with what? Just leave!" Mrs. Tonia shuts her door on Liam, not giving him a chance to speak.Did Anita's boss force himself on her? Mrs. Tonia wonders as she walks back to her parlor.Staring at the man, she sees him as a calm person with good moral upbringing, but is he the one that slept with her daughter and also bit and sucked on Anita's neck?If only Anita had told her the truth before she left, she wouldn't be rude to him, but she cannot help it. She behaves rudely because she misses her daughter so much.Liam leaves the building and walks back to his car.He knows her mother suspects him
