I stare at everyone in the meeting and felt that I could fall asleep at any time, I was just too exhausted, I was completely drained and famished. I needed the rest and some food. But I couldn't get any yet because I had more meetings and more campaign planning to do.
If I had a choice I would probably do anything to go back to the hotel room and have Christy cuddle in my arms. I am happy I have her where I want her to be, by my side as my wife and in my bed. She is the only woman that has given me that joy that has been missing in my life. I know she will be awake now and must have seen the note I left behind.In other to make my father feels that I have done what he asked me to do and have chosen my responsibilities and my job as Tony James over Christy, the person he was trying hard to find, I had to be at the meeting and the job has to come first before I come up with ways of dealing with my father and my marriage to Christy.No matter how exhausted IThe feelings of guilt overwhelmed me. I suddenly felt I should not have reacted the way I did. For the first time in my life, I regretted the way I spoke and reacted and it was all because of one person that is gradually changing me, Christy.I had to take back my words and that was something I don't do, I have always stood by my word and am not in the habit of changing my words." Christy, things that you make me do," I groaned internally. When I realised I had to take back my word. I got up from where I sat and turned to the door." Sir..." Miss Jones calls out" Sir..." She called out again but I ignored her and walked straight to the place where I stood when I said they were fired and stood there.The people around turned their attention to me." I fired two people some moment..." I started and they look on." I take back my words," I said and everyone looked on in shock. I don't blame them, it was the first time the
I was in my room, growing impatient when the door was opened rudely and he walked in grinning at me from ear to ear." What's up man, you sounded urgent," He said and I smiled sheepishly." Let go to a bar," I said and he stare at me like I was speaking a foreign language " That is why you called me over, are you not supposed to be with your..." " I am... That is why I want you to go out with me" I interrupted him immediately so he will not let the cat out of the bag, I don't trust people working for me because my father is still watching and I need to be careful. He stare at me with an open mouth till his eyes widened in realisation." You f*****g prick," He cursed and I smirked." Come on, there Is no time to waste," He said and turns to the door and I ordered.In order to prevent my father from finding out, I order my guards not to come with us. I was already leaving with Zack and hopped into his car and he drive ou
Christy stares at me with a questioning look on her face." He..." " I am Zack Mickelson, a friend of Tony, the only friend he has, in other words, his best friend," He interrupted me and stretch out his hands to Christy.Christy smiled faintly and gave him her hands and they both shook hands, then Zack kissed the back of her hands lightly."Christy Brown, I have heard so much about you but there is one detail he left behind," He said as he stares at her with a grin.Christy raised her brows in anticipation of his next words " That you are one hell of a beauty and sexy one at that," He said teasingly. Christy giggled in excitement as she listened to him complimenting her." The woman that is turning my friend's life upside down. The woman that is changing my friend for good." He added and patted me on my shoulder." Really...?" Christy asked with a grin and I couldn't help but feel embarrassed." Well, come in..." She invited " No!" I
Love was not what I wanted to confess without being sure. I have not accepted this feeling yet. But drove me, it carried me and stirred me toward my acceptance of his marriage proposal and getting married to him. The feelings were like a heavy current pushing me toward him and wanting to spend my entire life with him but I need to identify what name this was.He got up from on top of me and I sat up, I stare into space refusing to look him in the eyes." Can you say something," He added and I sigh, I guess I have to come out straight with him." I don't know," I said truthfully to him. I knew there was a feeling I have for him, it was like a pull, it was not lust or mere affection. Deep within me told me it was love but accepting it was difficult for me to do. I probably need to discuss it with Tonia and she might be able to explain it to me. It is so confusing." Are you still finding it difficult to trust me after all I have done to prove my lov
I went back home grudgingly. My heart felt heavy and I knew it was going to feel heavy when I got home because I knew too well that my father was waiting for me. Zack noticed my mood and said absolutely nothing to me all through the journey home and I was grateful for that.He drops me off and sped off immediately not wanting to see my father while I walked through the entrance of the building like a zombie.My room was his usual meeting spot and I knew too well he was there. I went straight there and he was sitting on my bed." You can't just be going around without a mask, you know what danger lies there for you," He said immediately after I walked in, and turns to me." What are you doing here?" I asked instead, wanting him to leave as immediately as she came." You reflect a governor who speaks for the people, it's not because they are dumb but because of oppression and a lot more. You represent them with your mask and that gives you
Each day I felt lonelier and dull than the previous day. Each day I found myself missing Tony, my heart didn't stop hurting not for one day. When he left the last time he came with his friend, he explained that his father was making things difficult for him and that he will not be coming to see me for a while to divert his father's attention from him. It is almost a month now and no news from him. The only way I get to see him was on TV with his mask on because he doesn't want his identity to be revealed. His campaign is ongoing and he is always very busy, and also doing a lot to keep his father from disturbing him and making life difficult for him.One thing I regret is not telling him how I felt when he asked me if I loved him, I discovered that it was a mistake I made, if I had told him, it would have given him more strength with everything that is going on presently. I sighed at the pancake in front of me. I missed him, I missed everything about him and I neve
I sat down in my office and I wish not to be disturbed as I placed my hands on my forehead in an attempt to ward off this nagging headache I was feeling. There has been a series of meetings after meetings and campaigns. This has been my schedule every day and I was not finding it easy but I had to do this to prevent my father from tracking down Christy and deceiving him that we were no longer together again. I just had to do this, and though I am not happy with this, I had to do it in other to protect her and find a way to deal with my father's dominance. This seems to be working because he has stopped pressuring me and doesn't show up at my house. He only comes to the office once or twice to my office. Though he might act convinced, I still need to be mindful so I don't fall into his trap because I know there was one he has set out for me which I am careful not to fall into.I ran my hand through my hair and pick up my phone reluctantly before listening to the voicemail, O
I have sent lots of texts and tried calling several times but he was not responding to any of them. I left voice messages that got no response too. His absence from my life was giving me sleepless nights. I don't want to go to the office because I don't know what danger that will pose for me since he said his father was out looking for me and there might be someone spying on us, so we need to be careful.This is killing me, I realized that I didn't want to lose him, I was scared of losing him more than I have ever been in my life. All at once my insecurities, all my fears, all my pain, and my confusion were all gone. I love Tony, I loved him so much and that was the hidden truth, the truth I was scared of admitting to myself.I stare at the phone like it was an alien thing in my hands while I waited for the phone to beep or ring. I wanted anything this instant, anything from him was going to be fine, as long as he was not going to leave me. But nothing ca
