The past week with Emile was one of the many best memories Dominic had. Back while he was still out of the country, he didn't care much about girls, all he knew and ever wanted was how to make Mr. & Mrs Frost proud, to let them know that they didn't spend their money on some selfish dude just to give him a good education and the same applies to Valentino as well. He only had two girlfriends who were close to him simply because they thought he was dope but after one of them found out he was under some foster parents who didn't even adopt him for real and could dump him anytime they liked, she locked him up. She shut Dominic out. And the other wasn't really into commitments so she took off as well. Emile at first was a plan, a mistake but why does it hurt just letting go after one week."God damn it" Dominic cursed.Dominic wanted to make it right, he would love to try with Emile ``Not without Valentino's consent, though I know he doesn't mind"Dominic thought but how could he make things
Alice was so furious, that she didn't know where to start from and couldn't point out what was in her head. She has already been putting up with Rita beating her Mom and having little talks with her but Xavier's part came up to her sleeves, she knew she had to do something now she's seen the opportunity to, she couldn't take his bullshit and to know that their so-called husband-to-be is seated right in front of her annoyed her the most. The whole thing, the dinner with family, Xavier's stupidity, Rita's madness, and Mr. Hillary, everything was a pain in her ass and she couldn't no longer stand it."I am not getting married to anyone" Alice declared. "And even if I were to marry someday, I would be in charge of choosing that person and it could never be someone as disgusting as this" She pointed at Mr. Hillary who felt so ashamed and embarrassed by the insult. He rashly stood from his seat with his brother following suit but before he could leave Xavier had acted fast which drew him ba
Rita has a hidden agenda for Jamie which she ( Jamie ) clearly could see through her. She has been on a mission of making up with Jamie regardless of how stupid Jamie made her look each time she tried to make up with her but she couldn't give up because she was on a mission to make Jamie trust her again and then will she get closer to her enough to find something to screw her over with which Jamie wasn't making the task easy for her.Jamie avoided Rita with all her possible best, she only had been on George's neck about getting her an apartment in Alice's name. She was doing her best to see that things fell into place for her so she could be able to leave the Fax family house, the Fax group of companies, and everything about the Fax but George was delaying everything which was seriously becoming annoying to Jamie.On the day Alice called, Jamie had come back from work as usual and was done with dinner. She went into her room without having any other chores to do for the day, she took
Jamie knew beforehand that she wasn't safe any longer, she had lesser chances of survival right here in the Fax family house most especially with Xavier finally present. She stayed in her room and waited for everything to end, she missed Alice but knew calling her at this point could put them in danger so she didn't dare. Jamie thought of what would happen after the dinner. Since Rita had caught her in George's office discussing issues of an apartment to be bought in Alice's name, she has always reminded her one thing. "Xavier will be back before you know it and bet it he will make you suffer for your sins. You will pay for everything and anything you have ever done to me, just get yourself ready" These she always said. Rita had saw it as an inappropriate thing to do via fighting or beating Jamie up when she knows that job made easy was on the way or rather still she feared hitting Jamie again cause after the last time she had attempted such, it came back as a heavy blow to her fac
Alice slept quietly all through the night and with the help of the drinks, she couldn't get her head up and out of the bed even as she had woken up. She waited for Theo to come knowing fully well that he would be knocking at her door as soon as possible. A few minutes later, Theo came knocking at Alice's door as expected. He accessed the room even without Alice responding to him, just like Theo would always make Alice a hangover soup just for drinking into a stupor last night, here he was with a place of handover soup and some side dishes. Alice laid still, she didn't move her body not because she didn't want to but because she couldn't. The headache she had was a result of last night's scream and stress from the dinner house. Knowing that Alice came back only to engage herself in a drinking session made everything worse."Good morning Babe" Theo greeted as he dropped the tray on top of the bedside cupboard and faced Alice while waiting for her to sit up on the bed."Fine morning hon
William couldn't help but watch the drama between Theo and the guy that just came in and surprisingly the guy kissed Theo right in front of him. Liam's mind went off, he had never imagined another person kissing Theo talk more of being an eye witness to the scene. He got so pissed as he saw the guy looking at him with his sides eyes."Oh I guess you are doing this because of me?" Liam thought to himself, he kinda was talking to the guy with his eyes but since he didn't want to speak up he only decided to keep quiet."And who is this Theo?" Both voices were heard. Theo got confused to a point that he couldn't detect or say what was going on. First of all Liam showing up at his place asking for forgiveness with hugs and kisses were all on a different level but with Tony appearing from no where, approaching him with a kiss was also another level as well and the most confusing part was, "Tony had made it clear to me that he doesn't do guys so what now happened? What changed? Or did he get
Dominic drove into the compound and to the parking lot, they departed out of the car and went consecutively into the living room. Valentino thought of telling Dominic what had connived between him and Emiliana's father."So, Mr. Henry imperiled to eliminate anything that would impede Emiliana from getting married to me"Valentino spilled."What? I mean who the f**k do these people think they are? First, it was Emiliana and now it's the father. We need to start working towards the plan before things get out of hand" Dominic was losing his cool, getting tensed and worked up. They had to play off with these plans of theirs "Say something boss""OK let's do this" Valentino had to think back to what his father had said to him but then again thinking can spoil things for them so he had to do this his way. Dominic rushed into his room, Went straight to his mirror table in search of something. He had to find this now and there it was, he took the tablet and went back to the living room where V
Theo walked up to the space where Alice and Josh were, he noticed they were discussing about something but wasn't sure on how serious it was and how far they have gone with what every they were talking about."Hi am Theodore" Theo walked "So Theo what relationship do you have with Alice?" Josh asked with a grin on his face. Alice didn't know why Josh was acting cocky which was really pissing her off.Theo thought of the question and reasons why Josh would ask such a question "I am Alice's…….." Theo smiled as he looked at Alice which she smiled back to him. Before Theo could reply to Josh's question Alice beat him to it."Theo is my husband" Alice said to Josh. She chuckled at sound of her saying she had a husband.Josh immediately felt a sting in his heart being pulled which cause a slight but painful tint on his chest. He was slowly getting to like Alice but the ideal of Alice never being his was all lit if place which he couldn't take. Josh felt the jealousy build up to his throat
The morning was as quiet as always. Alice woke up with this string of headaches dragging her down each time she tried to get up from her mattress. She couldn't help it so she laid helplessly on her back knowing very well that Theo was going to come wake her once he didn't see her so she waited patiently. Trying not to think back on what had happened yesterday proved to be very difficult so she sat up a bit, stretched her hand to her bedside cupboard, opened the first drawer, and took out a pen & a piece of paper. She wrote down some drugs and kept the paper on top of her bed, knowing that once Theo came in, she could send Theo to help her get it. Right after that, Alice closed her eyes and took a deep breath before turning over to the side.Theo woke up to his dismay, he stood from his bed, walked into the bathroom, took a refreshing bath, and got ready for the day. He stepped out of his room without seeing any signs of Alice anywhere around the house. He thought maybe she was still s
Everyone was surprised by their reasons. Valentino was quite surprised that the guy he saw Alice hugging last night was Mr. Xu's son. Mr. & Mrs. Xu were surprised at how their son came to know Alice but how? Alice and her husband are new in town so how did they meet? It seemed like he only knew Alice and not Valentino. Explanation needed. Alice was surprised to know that Haoyu was a rich guy. "Since he's this rich, what was he doing in a local club?" Alice's brain was spinning to get things straight and he is also the son of Mr & Mrs. Xu whom Valentino has planned to expand business with and to know that she had told Haoyu their secret about the contract "F**k," Alice cursed under her breath. "How should I explain to Mr. & Mrs. Xu that I met their son at a club while I was out without my husband's concept?" Alice was confused about what to do. Haoyu was surprised about seeing Alice right here in a meeting with his father, mother, and her CONTRACT HUSBAND. Yeah, he did remember Alic
After receiving the message, Jamie thought of how to sneak into George's office without getting caught by Rita which was an impossible tense. Slowly Jamie was becoming Rita's addiction even without her realizing it so, passing Rita without notice won't work.Rita was sitting right at the living room space up stairs, which was almost facing the entrance to George's office. Jamie saw how busy she was with phone, she looked more engrossed with it but it won't be enough not to make her look up when she wants to get into the office she had to look for another alternative. Jamie was at the adge of it, she saw the maid all around walking up and down just then did a plan hit her.Jamie went back down stairs only to follow a set of maids up, she hid behind them and followed them in group, with her eyes on Rita. Once they got to Mr. George's office Jamie quickly open the door and got in before the maids could walk pass the door. She took a deep breath once she has successfully entered the offic
The calm breeze of California in the silent night, puffs its way into people's space, giving them a reason to love the night. And the little flies of the night made its chimes loud, more like a cool composed hymn. Most people enjoyed the night as it was while some are all into much deep shit that they can't even feel the air in their skin which was very bad for them.Jamie was one of those who didn't feel the night breeze, is it that the air didn't want to come to her or she was the one shutting it out? Nevertheless, the air can never be shut out, it always has its way of pushing itself into your space just like it did to Jamie.Jamie didn't enjoy the show, coming back to a house with the expectation of going into her room without bothering, always falling flat on her face each day she came back to see Rita waiting for a battle with her. She was exhausted by all this routine, she should have already gotten used to it but deeming how tiring it was, she could only beg for peace from the
Jamie kept on banging at the door effortlessly but no one came to her aid, she helplessly fell to the floor with tears in her eyes, she didn't know what else to do rather than sit and wait until the event was over. Jamie had always remembered her daughter whenever she was going through a hard time to stay strong and at this moment only Alice could bring her comfort, thinking of Alice gave her the strength to stand on her feet again no matter how hard things could be. Jamie sat there in the basement sobbing silently then she heard some footsteps walking past the aisle, she immediately started banging at the door again so to be heard and fortunately for her, the two maids heard her scream from the basement which drew them closer to the room."Please help me. Is anyone there? Help please"Jamie kept on screaming, the maids recognized the voice to be Jamie's."Mrs. Jamie, how may we help you, the door is locked and we don't have a spare of the key, "One of the maids told Jamie in concern.
The reunion plan went successfully, Josh was so happy that he hugged Alice as soon as they got out of sight from his mates inside his car."Alice, I honestly can't put together the right words to say thank you to you but just know that I am forever grateful," Josh said to Alice as he drove her to one of the most luxurious hotels just for a celebration of his victory."Can I invite a friend?" Alice asked. She was sure she wouldn't feel like celebrating if Theo wasn't here with her regarding the fact that she always had a successful strategy and she always celebrated with Theo so she decided to give Theo a call and Josh accepted the request with much obliged."Hey babe" Alice heard Theo's voice from the other line."Hi hubby, what's up? Whatcha ya doing?" Alice asked with a smile that Theo could hear the laughter in her voice."Successful right?" Theo smiled. "Am right here at home waiting for my darling wife to get back with a bottle of champagne for us to celebrate as usual, How about
Night has more quiet hours than the day. Valentino lets Alice sleep over at his place despite knowing that he could actually send her home while Theo comes out and carries her into their home but for some reason, he felt like holding her back which he did. He laid Alice comfortably in the guest room as much as he didn't want to leave the place, he also had no other choice than to allow her to sleep. He firstly stared at Alice from her eyes to her nose and from her nose to her lips then it was a stop.He recalled the kiss that they had shared earlier on, the kiss had brought him back from his misery. He wished to kiss Alice's lips again but not without her permission of course. Valentino felt like a stalker right now so he had to leave to avoid making Alice feel like his crippy. He walked to his kitchen, took some water and left for his room. On second thoughts, he thought Alice might be a bit hungry so he ran out to the kitchen once again and made her something to eat then carried it
Alice was a bit surprised to see the sender's name "From Valentino". She wasn't expecting this but she kinda knew it was going to be for something anyways. Alice opened the box and unwrapped the surface of the stuff to get a better view of what was inside. Finally, she got to the point where you could see what was inside, and surprisingly it was a lemon strapless dress with some matching jewelry. She couldn't believe that Valentino sent her the dress, so she stood to her feet and dragged the dress ripped out of the box only to see that it was a short dress which made it look sexier and more like her style. "This looks beautiful" Theo came out screaming from his room."How did Valentino get to pick out something this unique?" Alice turned over to face Theo as he approached her."Right! It looks exactly like my style" Alice smiled and put the dress on her body just to see how much the color blends in with her skin. Theo went closer to the box, looked into it, and saw some special jewelr
Days went by, the dinner date was made and sent to Alice by Jamie. Alice had patiently waited inside the comfort of her house for the dinner day to come by quickly and finally, here it was "The D-Day".Yesterday, before Alice had gotten the message, she was busy with her laptop setting up for another contract to be signed when she got a message beep in her phone. Without much expectation, she picked up the phone and looked up the sender's information, and behold it was from her Mom. Right there in an instant, she knew it was time she got to meet with these half family of hers. Most especially her supposed to be "Stepbrothers". Only at the thought of having a stepbrother, Alice rolled her eyes ironically.She dropped her laptop on the couch, and approached Theo's room, even without a knock she was always welcomed so she barged in without knocking on the door."Guess what?" Alice sat comfortably on Theo's bed. The young man sat up and dropped his laptop to focus on Alice."What?" Alice
