Chloe's pov

And 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.

    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

    Chloe's POV"Hey." I gushed lowering myself beside Caesar on the coach."Hey." He replied back smiling as he lifted his hand and tucked the loose strand of hair on the side of my face behind my ear."How are you doing?" I asked scanning his face and I observed that he had dark circles under his eyes."I'm... uh... good?" He trailed his lips twitching slightly."Caesar don't you think you overwork yourself a little bit much?" I asked worriedly. "I'm used to working Marvelous." He took my hands in his. "You shouldn't worry about it."Well, I Knew I shouldn't worry but I couldn't help it."I went to see Mr and Mrs Johnsons today." I blurted out."What? When? Who were you with?"I knew he'll react that way, more reason to why I didn't want to tell him about it."We also did the final touches at the restaurant." I added trying to change the subject."I Know about the restaurant, it should be launched before the end of next week, pick the date for it's grand opening. But why didn't you tel

    Caesar's povI wanted to soak my soul in her mind, feel the vortex of her inner needs and desires, listen to the rhythmic sound of her joys and sorrows, and tiptoe on the matrix of her dreams and longings.I wouldn't believe the depth in her heart until the day I felt her essence, but in a strange way, I felt like I knew her inner needs and desires last night.She was beautifully mysterious, more like a puzzle. But I was ready to resolve its every piece even if I was going to get trapped in its mystery. Maybe she wasn't a puzzle at all, I just needed time to understand her more and I think I was starting to.She slept too peacefully on my bed it almost made me envious at how soundly she slept without a care in the world. But that was not it, it was the smile that slowly formed on her lips as she slept. It's how that smile created chaos in my heart and how it messed up my mind. But it was also the same thing, which every time silenced the storms and calmed down every demon inside me w

    Chloe's povA year back, someone could have told me that a day will come when I'll be having something I'll call mine, something so big as Toothsome, the restaurant I was opening that night and I'll tell them no way in all honesty and sincerity.That was so much more and too impossible.But on that very day, on that Wednesday night, there I were admiring the view of my very own restaurant. Everything was perfect for me. So picturesque.Earlier we had a makeup artist over, he did his wonders on my face but it wasn't something extravagant, he just kept my makeup minimal and natural, just perfect for me. I wouldn't want something so over apart from the winged eyeliner on top of the golden eyeshadow.My designer dress had alived three days earlier, thanks to Cherry. It was her doing and she's the one who paid for it claiming that it was a one time gift she was offering and I wasn't supposed to say no. So my dress was a shade of wine red with gold elements streaking on my borderlines. I

    Caesar's povI stood there on the top of the stairs and watched her walk so confidently, her head held up high and I wanted to strangle every man in that building who looked at her with a hunger so evident.Then she walked towards the mic and adjusted it. A strand of hair fell on her face and she tucked it behind her ear, cleared her throat at the same time."Uhmmm...." She trailed casually as every one else would. "This might be awkward because this is my first time to stand in front of a very large congregation as this." She laughed lightly to ease the tension and nervousness but that made everyone crack along with her."So ladies and gentlemen, please excuse my poor attempt. I greet you all.""We greet you back." They responded joyously.That only boosted her courage, I knew it from how her eyes lit up."I don't know where to start, leave alone what to say, and I think I'm starting to sound like a nuisance... blubbering mess." Everyone bursted out laughing. At the moment I was sta

    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

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

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.

    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

"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.

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
