"Calm down and you can do this." This was the word of Tihana to herself after she had just gotten off from the cab. She looks over at the restaurant to confirm it's the address Diana gave to her, and then she started making her way into the restaurant. She eye searched around and find an empty seat in a quiet corner and so, she walks over and sat down dropping her bag on the table. Tihana is wearing a black evening dress, with a jean jacket to match and a Gucci handbag. She's dressed simple because she wanted to give this man the inspiration that she's no rich. She pulls out her phone from her pocket and clicked on Diana's phone number then texted her. "I got here." She tells her and put the phone back inside her handbag. Tihana looks around and her eyes landed on nothing but the seat opposite her where the man she's waiting for is going to seat. Furthermore, one can tell that she's beginning to feel nervous. She looks at her watch and her date is already five minutes late. Ti
Blossom from her car, watch as a lady walks out of the restaurant with Aiden behind her and she didn't need anyone to tell her that they had just finished their blind date. Pained with jealous, Blossom motions on her driver to start driving. The lady that had just walled out, she recognizes her as the same lady in the cloth shop with Diana. She hadn't really look at her back ten, but that doesn't mean she won't recognize her. Now, Blossom feels the need to believe that Diana is trying to get back to her for what she did to her during their college days. She believes they haven't meet in that shop unexpectedly, Diana knew she's gonna be here and then, what next did she do? Diana had went ahead to set up a date with Aiden with her friend. The audacity!' Blossom is ready to risk it all now, How can she sit and watch the man she loves being taken away from her and she just sits and keep hoping for him to come around whileas he have no plan of being talking to her casually. "Can yo
"Huh?" Aiden said confused but Wayne didn't say a word again. He just focused back on the drive wheels as he ignited the engine."What did you say?""Nothing." Wayne replied, having a change of mind.Something in him wanted to keep it as a secret, to keep it to himself......... for now!"But I heard something." Aiden spelt out."It wasn't from me. It might be from someone else. There are other people around, remember?"Aiden scoffed at him and brought out his phone. He unlocked it and started going through his emails as he replied some of the official ones.Wayne sighed as he finally drove out of the place. Thank goodness Aiden didn't push further.Blossom whose car had been parked few meters away from Aiden's car, fumed in anger. How dare Aiden ditch her for a random bitch!And for the lady Aiden went on a date with, she didn't see her face clearly when she was entering the taxi because it was already getting dark, if not, she would have crossed paths with her and deal seriously with
"What are our benefits in this?" One of the investors stated after listening to what Aiden said."I can't say yet but I assure you would benefit quite a lot from it as it is a huge project." Aiden replied and all the other investors nodded"Alright then but before that, is there not any official document to back up this project?" Another of the investors said."That would be given to all of you in our next meeting which would hold on the 15th of this month as we would also be talking more on the project.""That's good. We accept." One of the investors agreed."Okay then. This meeting is over." Aiden stood up and left the conference room.Wayne who has been waiting for Aiden outside the conference room walked up to him."Tell the person preparing the project proposal to meet me with the proposal in my office right now." Aiden ordered."Okay." Wayne bowed and took the elevator while Aiden went to his office.He sat on his chair with legs crossed against each other. He brought out his ph
Different thoughts ran through Tihana's mind that she didn't know the cab has gotten to her destination."Ma'am, we're here." The cab man said for the third time.He had to honk the cab and that jolted Tihana out of her thoughts"We're here?" She repeated in a question."Yes ma'am. Please, come down.""I'm sorry sir." Tihana paid him and got down."I'm so sorry." She said again and the cabman drove away.She went into the house and met a worried Diana pacing to and fro.Diana stared at her direction and when she saw Tihana coming, she ran to her immediately."Where have you been? I've been trying to call you but it isn't going through.""It's probably the network." Tihana said lowly and went to the couch.Diana came to her and sat beside her."What happened? Why is your face like this?""Was there a problem at the office?" Diana said again."Kind of.""Really, what is it?""I saw Aiden Turner twice today at the office.""And did he recognize you?""In the morning, no and that's becaus
Tihana sat down opposite Aiden in the office.He was busy working on some files in front of him, not paying attention to the lady he had called to his office an hour ago.Tihana was already getting bored sitting in front of him as he acted like she was invisible."What am I doing here sir?" Tihana voiced out but he didn't reply her."I've been here for almost an hour now but you still haven't said anything." She said again with a slight frown."You should keep it low. As you can see, I'm very busy."Tihana scoffed staring unbelievably at the man in front of her.Did he call her here to guard him or what?No! She wasn't going to allow this."Then, why am I here?""I asked you to keep it low, Miss Tihana.""But you don't expect me to just sit here and watch you attend to files while I have loads of work to do in mine and yet you made me sit here doing nothing."Aiden paused what he was doing and took his gaze to her."And I'm your boss. If I don't permit you to work, you won't, so step
"Good morning sir." The secretary stood up and greeted as Aiden and Wayne walked past her desk."What are my schedules for this morning?"Wayne checked the iPad in his hand."You have a private meeting with Mr Norman now.""Alright. Where is it taking place?" Aiden said even if it sounded suspicious. Mr Norman coming to see him privately and so early."He is already waiting in your office.""Fine. Let's go."They both took the elevator and went to Aiden's office.They opened the door and met Mr Norman already waiting for him on the chair."Good morning Mr Turner." He stood up and said."Morning Mr Norman.""Please, have your seat." Aiden said even if Mr Norman had already sat before.He sat down on his swivel chair as he unbotton his suit jacket."I know you must be wondering what I'm doing here so early.""I believe you're here to talk business.""Actually, it is not really about business." Mr Norman replied in a smile."Really? I hope it isn't serious then?""No, it isn't.""Okay.
Diana dropped Tihana off and Tihana waved at her."See you later hun." Diana said and drove away.Tihana breathed out and went into the company."Good morning." Tihana greeted her co workers on the way to her office.She tossed her bag on her desk as she sat on the chair.She started up her laptop and as she waited for it to start up, she brought out some of the files she has to work on.Just when she was about to start typing on her laptop, the door of her office opened and Mrs Linda came in. Tihana stood up immediately to greet her."Good morning Mrs Linda.""Morning Tihana. How are you doing this morning?""I'm doing good ma. Thank you for asking." Tihana replied in a smile.After days of working in this company and with Mrs Linda, Tihana have come to the conclusion that Mrs Linda was nice and they've come to have a great friendly relationship between themselves."Are you done editing the reports?""No ma.""Why aren't you done?""I was really busy yesterday with the articles but I
SEVEN MONTHS LATER~~~~ Tihana Turner walked down the aisle, being led by her Father. As she looks at everyone through her vile, she couldn't hold back the tears in her eyes. It was such a beautiful day for her, more beautiful with the fact that everyone had a smile on their face , watching her. Aiden had decided to re-hold their wedding, and this time, he wanted it to be real. Maybe this was the reason why Tihana was tearing up. Having to get married and knowing that this time, it was because they both love each other. And this time, there's no contract. Collins is a year old, and a child full of life. He had been Tihana's source of happiness. To Tihana, the birth of Collins had brought nothing but happiness in her life. She's going to give him to best and train him to be the best boyfriend and the best husband whenever it's that time. She stood opposite Aiden as the priest read out the vows. Aiden hadn't hesitant to say his own vow, he was sure he's ready. Ready to spend the
Tihana stayed at the hospital for more two hours with Emma and her mother whom the doctor announced will be discharged after a week and suggested she go into therapy immediately. Tihana called Aiden to come pick her up and now, she's standing outside the hospital and waiting for him. Then she heard a footstep that seems to be approaching her.... She turned her back and it was Emma. "I thought you went in to stay with her.""I did.. but she's asleep now." Tihana nodded and look away, her eyes fixed on the hospital gate. As she wanted to see Aiden's car. She missed Collins already and just wanted to have him on her arms. Cooing him... Even tho it's tiring, it was a beautiful moment and she tend to keep that beautiful moment for a long time, Collins is currently six month old, how fast time flies. "Tihana. Thank you for always being here for me, I dunno what I could do without you. I realized that it had always been you... My life had always been meaningful, thanks to you.""C'mon
Tihana walked down the stairs and made her way to the kitchen where she took out a bottled water and drank from it. Sighing, she put it back and walk away. While making her way back upstairs, Tihana heard the door open and she look behind here to see it was Aiden, looking pale. "You alright?" She asked and walk back downstairs then approach him and stood in front of him. "Just coming back after visiting grandfather.""Is everything okay? You should be in the office now. You told me you are going to the office after visiting him, did your plans change?""Sit. How's Collins?" Aiden said both words and Tihana went on to sit next to him. "He's asleep. Tell me what happened ""Grandfather will be retiring, and he wants to hand over all the company to me.""Wow! That means more work on your desk. Why did he then tell you at the last minute?"Aiden shakes his head negatively and was about replying when a maid interrupted them. "Ma'am... Your phone have been ringing non stop. Sorry I inte
Diana walked into Wayne's family home. They were still at the family house and had just finished dinner an hour ago before she went to talk with Damon. Wayne said they'd be leaving tomorrow as he didn't make plans for them staying there for more than a day. "You're back?" Wayne asked as he had just walked out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around his body as he looks at Diana. "Yes.." Diana said and went to sat on the bed. She couldn't wait to return to New York, meeting Damon here was kind of unexpected and made her uncomfortable. Diana wondered what could've have happened now if she and Damon had had a very bad relationship that they couldn't stand each other? "You never told me how you get to know my Brother. Damon.." Wayne said and Diana looked at him, her eyes betraying her as she looks away. "You should put on your clothes. I'm going to take my bath too." Diana stood up and deliberately walked into the bathroom, but come back soon after to pick up a towel from the war
"Am nervous " Diana complained as she stood beside Wayne's car. They have gotten off the plane twenty four minutes ago and had just arrived at Wayne's family home at Australia. "They don't bite." Wayne gently told her and all Diana did wad to nod and try to calm down. Wayne had once told her he wanted her to come and see his parents, to meet them. But she had thought it's just something many guys will say to make a lady submissive but when Wayne announced to her yesterday after Tihana's engagement that he had bought their tickets and their flight will be in the morning. Diana had thought it was a joke until Wayne showed it to her. He had gotten the ticket about a week ago and had paid for everything while waiting for the perfect time to announce the news to her. Surely, she had called Tihana on phone that night to tell her about it and she's very sure she interrupted something between the two newly engaged couples and the baby was there with them too, cause she could hear him ma
Tihana woke up and stood up from the bed with a headache. She sighed and stood up, leaving the room and searching for the nannies since her baby wasn't in bed with her. Once Downstairs, she noticed how dark the sitting room was and it was quite unusual. She wondered how long she have been sleeping that she didn't even notice Aiden leave the house. "Gladys!??" She called out the first nanny's name whom she knew is always around. When she didn't hear a response and everything was died silent, she proceeded to searching for the light switch. Just when she was about touching it... The light turned on and that's when she realized that this has been nothing but a surprise. The sitting room was fully decorated with Flowers."Surprise!!" Diana yelled and hugged her from behind. And then Wayne, Trenton , Emma , Blossom and the rest of the family was there. Including grandfather!"What's going on?" She asked, with a smile on her face to cover up the anxiousness on her face. Diana didn't r
__A MONTH LATER__ The cool evening breeze perishes on Emma's body as she smiles happily. If there was anything she like the best recently, it was being a student once more. She couldn't imagine if she'd be a student still if not because of Tihana. Emma had had it in mind to become successful and make Tihana proud, she had as well wanted to teach the kids never to treat someone badly just because they're not so family. She's going to keep using herself as an example. The grudge she hold unto Against her mother was over, she have only tried to make her mother a better version of herself. Emma had been surprised when she discovered that everything about Tihana's marriage that she thought was real was all fake. Also hearing about all the challenges and the pains she had been through trying to keep that huge secret made Emma felt bad. Tihana had been through a lot , and she doesn't deserve to go into another pain. If anyone deserves happiness more now, it was Tihana. Her life ha
"Can I come in?" Blossom asked as she perp into Tihana's room. Everyone was retiring back home group after group, and only few remains. Blossom had just noticed that Tihana wasn't there anymore. About Trenton and Aiden, she had seen them both walks away from the crowd. How badly she had wanted to follow them behind and find out what they're talking about. But since she's trying to make a change in her life, She felt that will be inappropriate and so, she had stayed back. "Blossom? Please come in." Tihana stands up from her bed and sat instead... Trying to put on a happy face so she couldn't see how unhappy and stressed she looked. "Hey sis.... Why are in your room instead of having fun?""Nah, I'm not really that much of a party type. Most especially, I'm stressed and just need to catch some sleep before Collins wakes up.""Oh. Sorry about that. He's in his room?"Tihana nods. "With the nannies.""I'll leave you to rest then." Blossom give her a smile and turn to leave but Tihan
The welcome back home ceremony for Tihana was lit. She had stayed back in the hospital with her baby for another week before she finally discharged. All through her stay in the hospital, Aiden was there for her. As much as Tihana was so happy to hold her in her hand, she was sad. As the first thought on her mind was if she's ready to give up on her baby? She haven't known what the joy of motherhood is until this minute. She wanted to by with her baby and watch him grow into a big baby. But she did signed a contract that she won't be in that baby's life after he's a year old right? Thinking about this alone was enough to keep her heartbroken. While Aiden had been all around her, showering her with gifts and telling her all the sweet words... Tihana still feel like he was doing all that just to appreciate her for giving birth to his baby. Blossom had been there too, and so was Diana,Emma , Mr Norman and Ms Turner. The only person that Tihana hadn't heard from since she put to be
