"Is everything going well in the office?""Yes grandfather. I am following all the instructions given to me by both you and Aiden." Wayne sipped his juice and grandfather nodded.Grandfather had invited him over to the house so he could ask about the office as Wayne was placed in charge of all the activities in the office till Aiden was back."That is why I like you. You are so obedient unlike my grandson who thinks everything should be done according to his own will." Grandfather praised and Wayne smiled."You wouldn't blame him grandfather. It was the way he grew up."Grandfather sighed and bowed his head a little for a while."Do you think this would work?" Grandfather suddenly asked."What is that?" Wayne asked back totally clueless of what he meant."The honeymoon, do you think it would yield something at the end?" Grandfather enunciated.One could tell he was worried from the sound of his voice."I don't really know. You and I know Aiden can't be studied at times." Wayne replied
Tihana threw her head backwards as she laughed hard. Jackson was cracking her ribs with jokes."So, what happened after that?" She asked trying to control her laughter."What else? He just stood up and silently walked out of their midst." Jackson chuckled.Jackson was the guy from the gym and since then, they've been hanging out. He has been a great help in easing her boredom."That was hilarious." Tihana said breathing hard from too much laughter. Jackson just smiled."It's getting late so I would be on my way." Tihana stood up in a smile and Jackson also did same."Okay but before you go, can you give me your number?""No, she can't." Someone said behind Tihana, startling her.Tihana turned to see who and when she saw Aiden, she scoffed.What does he mean by that by the way?"She can't give you her number because she is a married woman." Aiden said again and came to stand beside Tihana."She's married?" Jackson asked not knowing who he was exactly referring the question to."Yes, sh
The phone rang endlessly with no one to answer it. It was in the purse beside the pillow.It rang to the end and not up to a second, it started again.Tihana sleepily took the purse and threw it far from herself as it was disrupting her sleep.She tried to sleep back but couldn't because of the protruding headache she was feeling.She wearily opened her eyes and yawned.She sat up as she also stretched her body.She yawned again and stared around.She was back in the hotel room. How she got there was something she didn't know.She tried to recollect what happened the other night but she failed woefully.She could only remember them going to the club to where she ordered the alcohol.The headache hit on her again and she yelped lightly. She must have drank too much of the alcohol, now she was paying for it.She carefully dropped her legs on the floor as she held her head in pain.She would have to go and get a pain relief drug cause she couldn't endure the pain any longer."And the fai
______IN AMERICA*Diana rested back on her chair with her fingers tapping repeatedly on the desk.She couldn't help but to feel for her friend, Tihana.First, she was forced to sign a contract marriage with one of her worst enemy. Then, she was forced to go to a honeymoon with him.Only God knows how he is treating her over there.She knows for a fact he wasn't treating her well over there and that was why she always make sure she calls her friend to know how she was fairing.She's been calling her friend's number but she isn't picking up.She sighed as she closed her eyes still tapping her fingers on the table.Her phone rang jolting her out of her thoughts. She took her purse and brought out the phone.It was a call from Tihana."Hey! Where did you put your phone? I've been trying to reach you but you weren't picking. Don't you know you are making me worried over here?" Diana ranted out immediately she accepted the call."I'm sorry, I wasn't feeling too well so I couldn't pick your
THE NEXT DAYTihana entered her office and tossed her bag on the desk.She sat on her chair and seeing a heap of files to work on, she rolled her eyes.They didn't even help her out with any of the files, they were waiting for her to resume office.She took a deep breath and made to start work but the entrance of someone stopped her."Good morning Mrs Linda." She stood and greeted in a smile."Good morning Tihana or should I say Mrs Turner." Mrs Linda walked to her also in a smile."Congratulations on your new wedded life. I couldn't congratulate you properly on your wedding day.""It's alright ma, I understand.""You must have seen the files on your desk, honestly they weren't my intention. please pardon me for the bunch of files on your table, the boss specifically asked me not to help you with any of your duties here in the office."No wonder the files were much on her table, so it was all Aiden's doing."There was nothing you could do, so I understand.""But can I ask so
All the staffs patiently waited for their boss in the meeting hall including Wayne.Some was beginning to wonder if there was something wrong.It's been long since their boss has called for a meeting like this.He only calls for an urgent meeting if there was something suspicious going on in the company or he wants to make something known to them.Aiden came in a minute later and they all bowed as they greeted him."I know you all must be wondering why I called for an urgent meeting this morning, well it's for a good reason." Aiden said loudly enough to all of his workers."Mrs Tihana, please step forward."Tihana nervously stepped out. Why was Aiden calling her out?"Stand beside me here sweetheart." Tihana did as she was told but after she scoffed within herself.Aiden wrapped his arm around her in a smile."Firstly, I would like to officially announce to you all that I am married to this beautiful damsel over here." There was a loud ovation as the whole workers clapped their hands.
"Grandfather, I wouldn't lie to you when I say I'm not seeing any progress in this marriage." Wayne informed, taking a sip of his wine.Grandfather dropped his cup of coffee as he paid his attention to Wayne who was sitting in front of him."Why would you say so? Is there anything I was supposed to do that I didn't?" He asked perplexed."Actually, it isn't from you. It is from the both parties.""How?" Grandfather rubbed his beards."There is no tiny bit of love in it."Grandfather sighed and bent his head for a while."I know Aiden doesn't love the lady. He was forced to get married to her in the first place.""It isn't just about Aiden, grandfather. It is also about the lady in question because she also doesn't love him." Wayne expressed his thoughts."Is it about that?""Yes.""You don't have to worry, it could be that she is just pretending. Even if Aiden and I aren't always in good terms, I still know that there's one charm my grandson has which is handsomeness and no lady ever h
Tihana almost fell to the ground but the man she bumped into was quick to hold her before she could finally land to the ground.She looked up at the man holding her to give him her piece of my mind but adjusted back immediately she saw his face."OMG! I'm so sorry Tihana. Are you okay?" Diana asked from behind her.Tihana didn't wait for any more seconds to pass before she left the mall in a hurry.Diana trailed behind her trying to meet her pace."Hey! What's wrong?" Diana asked panting heavily.She was literally running after Tihana to the car.Tihana also was trying to catch her breath but she wasn't making it too obvious unlike Diana because she had something else on her mind."What happened? Why did you rush out like that?" Diana asked now facing her friend completely."Answer me Tihana, I would like to know.""Take me out of here." Tihana said coldly.Diana was taken aback by the way her friend spoke to her.Before the incident in the mall, Tihana was looking very happy after go
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
