"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
"I wish I was there to shop with you." Diana cooed from the other side of the phone."Technically, you're still with me." Tihana replied and Diana chuckled."But not as how I would have been if I was beside you."Tihana was in the bridal shop as per what Aiden ordered her to do.He had given her a day off at work today so she could get the things she needed for the wedding."Ma'am, do you like this one?" The lady helping Tihana select the wedding gown asked as she pointed to one of the gowns.Tihana stared at the white gown in front of her in admiration.All the gowns in the shop were extremely beautiful that it was very hard for her to choose just one."Hello Tihana? Are you there?" Diana called out when she didn't hear her voice again."Yeah yeah, I'm here.""Why did you grow silence all of a sudden?""I was just admiring a gown here.""You know what Diana? I now wish you were here beside me because I'm having a tough time choosing one." Tihana groaned lightly and Diana chuckled."I
“I promise to love you and always be by your side, through all of the ups and downs.”“I vow to always be faithful, and always be your best friend, no matter what the future might bring.”“I promise to always root for you, cheer you on, and be your biggest fan.”“I promise to love and support you.”“I promise to spend the rest of my days loving you unconditionally.”“I promise to cherish you for the rest of your life.”“Before our family and friends, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health, for better or worse, I promise to love you and spend the rest of my days with you.”Tihana watched as Aiden went on and on to say these vows before he finally puts the ring on her finger.The priest made her repeat the same thing and she hesitated before saying them."You may now kiss the bride."Aiden lifted her veil and gave her a quick kiss.She closed her eyes as he kissed her. Not because she wanted the kiss but because she was trying hard to hold in the tears threatening to fall.She
Trenton NJ stepped down from the airplane as he breathed in the fresh air.Oh! How he misses America.He's been away to a business trip for almost a month and now he was back.He entered the car that was already waiting for him at the airport while the driver carried his luggage to the car before the driver drove away.He rested his head on his seat and closed his eyes as they drove home.His phone rang, making him open his eyes. He brought it out and accepted the call."What is it?" He asked with a baritone."Hey! Thank goodness you're back. I can't wait for you to come take up the office activities again." The voice boomed from the phone and Trenton scoffed."I'm just coming back from Italy so you continue taking care of the office till I resume duties." He disconnected the call without waiting to hear what the person wanted to say.He got out of the car when they got to his house and entered the house."Welcome back Master." All the maids in the sitting room chorused.He didn't rep
What was she doing in his office?He left the door and entered completely into the office as he stare keenly at the lady in his office.She stood up when she noticed his presence."Hey darling! You're done with your business meeting." Blossom said as she walked to him."What are you doing in my office? And how did you get in?" Aiden asked with seriousness."How do you expect me to answer the both at once?""I don't wish to know. Just tell me how you got into my office.""Chill sweetheart, I got in here like you and everyone else always do. The secretary said you were in a meeting so I decided to wait for you here.""What do you want Blossom?""What's with that question? Shouldn't you be happy I didn't come to meet you in the conference room?" She raised a brow."You wouldn't have dared." Aiden said, making her laugh."You're so funny Aiden." She said after her laughter died down."Get out Blossom.""Do you really want me to go?" Blossom said in a seductive smile."I don't just want yo
Tihana came out of the house with the maids behind her.The maids were with her and Aiden's luggages though she had tried to carry hers by herself but they insisted it was their duty.She and Aiden were going for their supposed honeymoon today but she wasn't one bit happy about it.She entered the backseat and was surprised when she saw Aiden already in the car. No wonder she didn't find him around in the house.She changed her expression to a straight one and rested her head on the seat.The maids finished putting the luggages into the car booth and the driver drove out of the compound.No one said anything to each other till they got the airport and Tihana loved it that way."Good morning sir Aiden." A man in suit walked to them."It is ready sir." He said again in a smile."Lead the way." Aiden tells him and they all followed the man in suit to where an airplane was.They entered into it and she found a place to sit near the window while Aiden sat in another place.Tihana looked ar
Tihana slowly opened her eyes and she sat up on the couch. She yawned and stretched her body. Gosh, her body aches so bad.She cleaned her face as she also rubbed her eyes. She stood up to go to the restroom in the room but stopped when she remembered Aiden was in there.What if she meets him in the room naked or something!!!She sat back on the couch with a sigh. She was really pressed and needed to pee.She was just going to hold in till she was sure he was out of the room.The scent of a strong perfume filled her nose and she looked up to see him coming out of the room.He looked well dressed like he was going for a business meeting.He didn't say anything as he opened the door and left.Tihana found it as the time as she rushed into the restroom. She did her business and used the opportunity to take her bath.After bathing, she saw a neatly folded towel near the wash hand basin and took it then tied it round her chest.She took the new toothbrush on the basin and dabbed toothpaste
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
