I almost laughed out loud at their exchange. God, how I missed her.

"We have two weeks and some days to graduation, almost three." Chloe said smiling sadly at her.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

"I have no plans after graduation. All I know is I want to be independent somehow."

"We'll see about that when that time comes."

I decided to call her phone just to see her reaction. So I hesitated over tapping the call button against her name but I eventually called.

Her phone started vibrating in her backpack, she raised one finger at her friend to retrieve it.

The colour on her face dried up as she looked at the screen. She watched it ring in utter shock her mouth hanging open.

Her friend snatched the phone from her hand and scanned the screen too with her eyes, her mouth dropped open too.

"Pick it up." She pushed the phone back into her hands. Chloe shaked her head instantly. Her face looked as if she had seen a ghost and it hurt me to see her watching her phone ring until it died

    There, leaning on one of the posts on the way to the graduation hall was Caesar in all his glory. Wearing a dark grey suit and dress shoes that matched it. His face displayed no emotion and for a moment I forgot why I was crying and who was that person who drove out on me."Marvelous."Oh christ! Please come intervene. His deep voice made want to do unholy things. That name still managed to stir a reaction from in within me.It's been almost two months since I heard it last. And I swear I wanted to hear that name for as long as I would want to remember."Caesar." I acknowledged moving a step closer.He looked straight into my eyes, his eyes widening slightly in alarm as he took in my features. "What happened!""You!" I snapped pulling my lower lip into my mouth. "You happened." "Oh yeah." He screwed his eyes shortly as if in realization and then opened them. "I know and I'm so sorry. I just wanted to see you graduate mar- Chloe. I had promised myself that I wouldn't bother you again.

    I turned my attention to the baby waving my hands over his face."Ku!" Leddy squealed at me. The little boy was so jovial whenever he saw me and it made me melt.I wish I was a kid.I had visited them almost thrice since I left Caesar's home. The little boy knew just the best way to bring me out of my misery with his contagious squeals and giggles."Come here little buddy!" I warmed at him opening my arms. Tracy placed him in my arms shaking her head."I always get jealous at how Leddy is always overenthusiastic with you." Tracy complained. I just stuck out my tongue at her then turned to grin at Leddy.Now everyone's attention was towards Leddy and I. "Did mummy bit you again? I told you to bite that titty. Did you do that?"Everyone started laughing at our silly interaction. "Pa pa pa!" He squealed pointing at his father who was sure walking towards our direction."Tracy thanks for coming. You didn't have to, this is a small---""Stupid. Why would I miss your big day. You are always

    Chloe's povFour days had passed since graduation and I was still with the Banleys. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be with them if not for the ultimum foolery Caesar played me into.He took my certificate and I was given two choices I could choose from; One: for him to accept the money I wanted to pay for my tuition fee, I had to accept something from him too. Something to do with where I will be working, where I'll enforce my culinary skills. Honestly now, that's like buying me.Two: He'll give me back my certificate, let me do whatever I want with my life, go wherever I want and he'll not take the money for my tuition fee that I was to give him.If I had never been in a dilemma before, I sure was now. I didn't know what was better or worse. Obviously, the second choice was somehow upto my advantage but what was the point of working my ass off at the diner?I never wanted to feel like I was indebted. I wanted to pay back to the last cent of my tuition fee. But at that moment I felt in

    Caesar's povI watched her as she double checked the place. It was only five blocks away from Tracy's shop."Are you sure this is the place you wanted to bring me Mister Banley?" She quirked up a brow as she scanned the building closer."The last time I checked, my brain was working well, so yeah I'm sure." I replied inserting a key into the main door of that building."Woaaahhh, this looks like an exquisite place that can hold a big charity ball." She gushed trailing a finger on the wall. "And I like the paint used here!" She chirped like a kid that has been brought to a candy shop.She was so adorable in a thousand and more ways.But seriously? Of all the things she could think of, the place deemed necessary for a charity ball?I was tired from the day's events but her energy was therapeutic and I could watch her all day gush about everything and nothing in particular. I followed her as she walked into what seemed to be the kitchen."Oh my goodness! I like the kitchen space! It can

    Chloe's povAnd I couldn't stand there looking at his ghast look any longer. He looked like a deer that has been struck in headlights and I'm sure he didn't expect those words to come from my mouth. Neither did I expect them, I was shocked too. I might as well say that they weren't meant to come out that way. And the look on Caesar's face scared me, the clock was always turning in his head and that's why I couldn't fathom what he was thinking at the moment. So the only resolve I had, was to run out of that place as fast as my legs could carry me.I Know he didn't feel the same way, he always saw me as a little homeless girl that needed to be looked after. I don't blame him, he was right in every perspective.Once I was outside of the so called restaurant. Just right on time, a cab passed by and I was fast enough to catch it."Where to ma'am?" The driver asked as I settled in the back seat, my heart beating erratically."Just drive." That was my poor answer.The driver was an old man

    Minutes later, I heard the rustling of metal and the gate opened revealing his Silver sports car. He just drove in slightly and parked the car carelessly, got out quickly and closed the gate. He then ran towards the entrance route.I could see his silhouette illuminated from the headlights of his car that were still on. I was still sitting at the base of the stairs and when he got closer, he stopped abruptly.He scanned the place before his eyes fell on mine. He didn't say a word. He moved closer to me and without warning, he scooped me up bridal style and walked us up into the building.I just snuggled closer into his familiar welcoming scent as tears kept pooling out of my eyes. I whimpered when he kicked the door to a room, and I don't know where he clicked but lights flooded the room.I opened my eyes slowly adjusting, that's when I noticed it was his childhood room."You're going to tell me what happened, take your time though. No rush." He said slowly setting me down into his sm

    Two weeks and half had passed and I was still the same. Cold and uninviting.Now it was on a Sunday and I decided to bask in the beautiful Sunday morning sun's glory.I was lying on the lounge chair by the garden when I felt a shadow of someone blocking the Sun rays."Ughh... Please move, you're blocking the Sun." I groaned. The person didn't move. So I opened one eye slightly to take a peek at the intruder.In his glory, he stood there looking down at me with what I could have mistaken to be lust or something else.His eyes roamed all over my body and my breathing became erratic and I almost started to pant when he finally lifted my legs up from the lounge chair and sat letting my legs rest on his lap.As I looked at him, I realized that I had missed him. More than I could let on."I miss the old you Marvelous." His said, his morning thick voice doing bizarre things to me.I looked up at him and noticed that he had dark circles under his eyes. I flinched and sat up straight, removin

    Caesar's povI knew it wouldn't be easy for Chloe to accept my offer but I didn't know it would take almost zero effort to convince her. The moment she was fit with it even under certain conditions, I felt like a huge load has been lifted off my shoulders.We're talking about this one girl who can't even hurt a fly but can hurt an egotistic human being with just one word. That's my Marvelous and that's what she does to me.A few days had passed since I got back from another one of our business trips in LA which took a week and three days. And in those few days in Bronx I'd barely caught sleep. We had business deals to close with some of our major stakeholders and it was one hell of a task. I could sleep at dawn, that means somewhere around four in the morning and by six in the morning my alarm was rejoicing. How could things get possibly better? I barely saw my sister leave alone Chloe. Sometimes I could sleep in the office over my paperwork since my body was getting used to the co

    Caesar's POVTwo years ago, one could have given me a picture of the life I was currently living and I'd have totally trashed them for dreaming so furiously and intense. Something so unreal and the Caesar back then sure wouldn't have seen himself here.I felt like I had accomplished everything in life. I was a happy man with a full warm household. It was on a Tuesday a few days after Cherry's graduation which was a success. I felt so much sated and it was an achievement and an accomplishment altogether for me as a brother, seeing my sister grow and graduate among the top in her class with honours. I almost cried when I heard her name being called during the diploma issuing and now my Marvelous had literally cried an ocean ruining all the make up on her face. She was a mess and I totally blamed her pregnancy hormones.I walked into the kitchen and saw marvellous fighting with utensils and it made me chuckle. She was trying to reach for something in the cabinets and she eventually got

    Chloe's POVIt was on a Friday and it was finally Cherry's big day, she was graduating and we were all so happy to be there for her. I was supposed to wake up get ready as it'll take time for me to do a small make up especially to hide my so pregnantyy nose.But I only woke up to the sweet, throbbing yearnings Caesar's hands were invoking in me. I felt his hand on my breast caressing and teasing my so sensitive nipples as his warm body pressed against mine in an erotic embrace that made me breathless with intense pleasure. A soft purr escaped my slightly parted lips when I felt his hand on my protruding tummy, creating a burning inferno on my skin. It stayed like that for a while and then it traveled down my body and slipped in between my legs, and he gently caressed my inner thigh. Caesar had just gotten back from a business trip he had taken to North Carolina. It was a four day business trip but I had greatly missed him. He had cut down the trip since it was supposed to take six da

    Two months laterChloe's POVHow everything took a 360° turn on me, I was yet to discover. Mondays were the worst days of the week, okay Monday is the worst day of the week, there.I'd manipulated Caesar's office computer for the past two hours waiting for time to pass by but I was now ragged and jagged and all I wanted to do is nap away if not for Anley who might be getting back from school and get stranded given that Martha and Cherry were not in the house to receive her.I hate this Monday, the voice in my head kept repeating those four letter words. Caesar had dropped me at home around lunch time after my antenatal clinic which went well given the fact that I was now eating a meal that should really be pertinent for three. My tummy was now protruding something that wasn't of sign six weeks ago. It's like I wasn't feeding this miraculous baby and now that I was given the multivitamin gummies and appetite boosters, I was doing it the right way. She really was growing too first.Toda

    Caesar's POVAs soon as the words left her mouth, I had already strutted to the said door that read room 359 and I had straightaway opened the door, matching in and walking into a nurse and a doctor, I suppose. "Sir we'll call you once all her vitals have stabilized." The man I assumed to be the doctor said."The heck!" I barked startling them. "How is she, why is she asleep?" I was loosing it. My Marvelous Chloe looked like a dead person. I couldn't see her heartbeat. She laid still on the bed as if that would make me keep my cool."She's going to wake up, we sedated her but she'll be okay." She had a huge bump on her forehead which made me curse out loudly."How is she?" I was trying, they should have seen how hard I was trying to keep my cool."She's fine, she had a minor concussion and I think she was in shock when they brought her here. She's almost waking up. The baby is okay too, I'm glad she was rushed here soon enough, with the bleeding, we could have lost them both." The doc

    Caesar's POVNow that my meeting with Mr Edward had come to an end and I'd closed the deal that had been incessant on my mind over a week, I felt like I can breath easily and all I had to do was pack up and go spend a night with my Marvelous.The smile on my face was so huge as I passed my employees at the lobby, marching to my car with graceful long strides. I couldn't wait to get home. Home felt like home even much more now that I had Chloe and Anley.I never even imagined becoming a dad and honestly it has never felt more blissful before. I liked every bit of being Anley's dad and I loved the fact that everyone had accepted and welcomed her warmly. And my forgiving marvelous had loved her even deeper, I felt it, more reason to why I loved her even more.I'd revved up my engine, moved past my parking lot and now on the road when my phone speakers blared with loud music. I usually use a vibrator mode, what the! It was that cunning Chloe. I took time to listen to 'pillow talk' by Zai

    Chloe's POV "You have a meeting?" I raised a brow."At 2." "It's fourteen minutes to four Caesar.""What?" His eyes bulged out. I just looked at him plainly trying to gauge him. Fuck, I shouldn't have come?!" I can't believe we've been going at it for more than two hours." He started laughing. Oh it wasn't that big of a deal. And I found myself joining him although I was the one to cut myself first,"Seriously though, I'm not sure I can walk." I pouted making him draw me closer to him, kissing my pouted lips."Tonight I'll be home earlier, I'll give your inner thighs a hot deserved massage but one thing that you should know is that, we're going to be having a rerun of what we just had everyday and you're going to get accustomed to it all." A devilish glint glowed in his eyes and I knew that was a promise he was so intent on keeping."Now my shirt doesn't have buttons and I'll have to see me Edward since I made him flew earlier here because I was angry earlier." He snorted."What? Y

    Caesar's POVMaybe she would’ve done it for me. And maybe that would’ve been hot as hell, but since I wanted to actually get inside her before I went off like a gunshot, I needed to keep touching to a minimum.So that's why I'd ripped all the buttons of my shirt as she watched me, biting her lip knowing what that did to me.Of course, as soon as I got rid of every clothing on my body, she had moved closer, taken a seat on my table, opening her legs wide enough, inviting me as she grabbed my hair and dragged me down, pressing all her soft, lush curves against my body. Her skin was hot and screaming for my touch. Her pussy was wet, soaking her lacy panties ready for me, begging for me as she spread her legs and reached down to grasp my erection. In my ear, she whispered, "You're going to eat me like this is the last time."I just stood up, took a step back, looking at her intently. Taking my sexy vixen in, making her quiver with so much desire under my gaze. Then I moved closer and place

    Chloe's POVTracy was something else I swear."I can't believe Anley did that though." She bursted out laughing again as I scanned myself in the mirror frowning. "But you said the past two nights she's been sleeping at her room, why are you still wounded sexually then?"Tracy was blunt and I'd come to like her just as she was and I got used to her being vulgar. So I got so much closer to her than I was to Nicole. I could tell her anything that was going on with me and she could give me a good advice, Nicole would tell me to go to the club with her and drink off my sorrows, comical."He gets home late than usual and I'm always asleep. I think work has been taking a toll on him. I'm just looking forward to the weekend." I smile looking at the garters clamped on my thighs. Tracy forced me to try these lingeries and now I think I'll take them."I think you should pay him a visit at work. Especially today.

    Caesar's POVHaving Anley was all good and she came with so many perks. That, I couldn't deny. But the kid was a cockblocker and I hated the fact that I couldn't do anything about it.I thought being with her at the park was enough, oh I was so wrong. That kid was sharp and she knew things weren't okay between Marvelous and I before, after coming back from the park she knew things were merrier and now she wanted us to sleep together, the three of us. I've never dreaded a house free of Anley before. And as if you can say no to Anley, one night dragged to three nights and I've never experienced torture firsthand before. All Marvelous could do was smile devilishly at me after failing to convince Anley to go sleep in her room. And all Anley could say was, "I just want to sleep with daddy and you auntie Chloe tonight." Then she could make a cute irresistible pout and I swear my Anley was a bribe. But somehow we enjoyed her vibrancy. She could talk all day about nothing and everything, we
