Adelia's POV
Today was the day to interview the applicants,I was looking forward to interviewing them especially Richard. I decided to wear a pencil skirt with slit at the front normally i would wear pants but i decided to look different today.
I got to the office and got ready for the interview after going through some files,i called the receptionist to start calling the interviewees in. The first interviewee was a lady she was applying for the post of a waiter in the bar and she wore inappropriate clothes so i did not hire her,there were others after her some i hired while some i did not,the last person i interviewed was Richard.
"Good afternoon ma". He greeted
"Good afternoon Richard,have a seat". I told him
"Your CV here said you have worked in two other hotels and your recommendation letter says you are hardworking and efficient".
"Yes ma".
"Your applying for the post of a bartender here,when you studied hotel management. M
The hotel was crowded today as the summer was drawing near,so there were a lot of people checking into the hotel,I went to the bar area to check on Richard and he was coping with the work."Hey There". I said as i got closer to the counter"Good morning Adelia,hope you had a nice night?". He asked"I had a great night,what about yours?,how's the work going?". I asked."My night was good to and the work is going fine,nothing am not used to"."The bar will be crowded by night time,i just wanted to warn you,I'll be leaving now i have other places to check"."Okay,wa-itt"."Yes"."I wanted to ask you if you would like to go to dinner with me by 7"."Are you asking me out?"."No,i just wanted us talk over dinner"."I'll check my schedule and let you know".I left the bar and my next stop was the kitchen before i checked the floors,my last stop was the top floor (Ivan's floor). For some reason I was
I knocked on Ivan's door. Today is the day I finally give him an answer. I decided to give this a chance. "Come in". Ivan's voice interrupted me from my thoughts. "Good morning ". "Good morning to you too,to what do I owe this early morning visit?, or did you miss me". He said with a smirk. "Still cocky,I decided to accept your offer that is if it still stands but I have my own conditions". He brings a file out from the drawer of his desk. "I had my lawyer draw up a contract,just so we will be clear on what we both want, you can change anything your not comfortable with". He said The heading of file was: A contract between Miss Adelia and Mr Ivan.1. Both parties agree to confidentiality of relationship.2. Both parties agree to leave personal relations set apart from any and all business.3. Both parties are allowed to go on dates with other people with the exclusion of sex.4. There will be no cuddling after sex,
ADELIA'S POV I can't believe I'm actually thinking about Ivan, it's been two days already and I haven't gotten a call or text from him. I had hoped he will at least send me a text but he did not. I shouldn't be thinking about that kind of thing because this is not real. I did some paper work before calling my best friends. We did a conference call. "Let's go for a party this night. What do you guys think". Jesse said "Which party is that"?. Samantha said. "There is a new club opening today by 9, the name is 'Desiree', a colleague of mine gave me an invite, so I asked for extra two since we are three" Jesse said "Awwww". I cooed. Since today is Friday I guess I can attend it. "Thank youuu Adele. You just made me happy. I thought you were going to give the 'I am tired and I have work to do' excuse. What about you Sam?" "I don't have anything doing so I'll definitely attend it" Sam said "Okayy. I
ADELIA'S POV I woke up with a very pounding headache,I looked around the room and realized I was in Ivan's house, I tried to remember what had happened last night at the club. The only thing I could remember was vomiting on Ivan,I could not remember the details after that. I checked myself and saw that I was still in my dress,so nothing happened. "How am I going to face Ivan after vomiting on him?" I thought to myself 'I'm so embarrassed'. I saw a glass of water by the stool beside the bed and medicine,I took the medicine for my head. I'm sure my face would be scary because I didn't clean my make up. I saw a door close to the wardrobe,I guess that was the bathroom so I entered it. "Wowww, the bathroom was really big it was like the whole of my apartment, I went to the sink and splashed some water on my face. I left the room to go downstairs. The smell of food made me go to the kitchen and behold Ivan was
ADELIA'S POV My dad was rushed to the hospital,God please let nothing happen to him,I kept chanting while looking for my bag, many thoughts ran through my mind, I needed to get to the hospital this instant. I tried calling my brother but he was not picking up, my hands were shaking I could not even breathe well I was feeling choked up my head was pounding . I did not know how my mum was feeling where she was, I needed to leave as soon possible. "Taxi" "Take me to St Lucy's hospital" As I got into the taxi, I texted my brother Dad has been rushed to the hospital. It's St Lucy's hospital meet me there Love
ADELIA'S POVIt was Monday morning,my least favourite day of the week. I woke up a bit late,it felt good being in the shower,with the head spraying hot water all over my body,tantalising my aching muscles.I closed the faucet,stepped out of the shower and wrapped a clean white towel around my body. The chosen outfit for the day was a white shirt with black pants paired with white flatsI arrived at work, exactly when the clock struck 7:30, I was in the elevator headed to my office when I got out of the elevator I exchanged pleasantries with some staffs. I saw Richard who I had not seen for a while"Good morning Adelia, it's been a while""Good morning Richard,yes it has,may I ask what you are doing on this floor"."Ohh that, I came to see someone here""A girlfriend?" I asked him smiling"No,we are not at that stage" he said blushing"What's her name?" I asked him"Caroline""I know her,
IVAN'S POVThe day of the partyI had come back from my trip to Dubai,I did not expect to stay a week here. I had planned to stay there for three days but they were other pressing problems that needed my attention,so I didn't have time to call or text my Adelia.My Adelia When did she become yours?I wanted to call her and know how she was doing but my ego won't let me do that. That was not part of our contract,she was just a mere fuck. I just called my pilot to get ready because I was going back to New York. I boarded my private jet and we took off, I went into the room in the jet to take a rest by the time I woke up we were about landing,I put on my seat belt and we arrived safely.I asked my driver to take me to my house, I didn't want to go to the office yet because I really needed to sleep. I removed my suit and unbuttoned the two buttons of my shirt. I poured myself some whisky and sat down,I had a lot of things on my mind. The
ADELIA'S POVIt's been almost an hour and the hot man who had come to Ivan's office had not yet come out, I was waiting to see him again. After the coffee incident I had sent someone to get me any new shirt which I changed to. André looked like a nice guy and he was good looking to more reason why I should crush on himI remembered Ivan's face when he came out, he looked like he would murder André. If I knew better I would have said he was jealous but someone like him could not be jealous,he doesn't even like meRight?The sound of Ivan's door snapped me out of my thoughts,I had to pretend like I was checking the doors so it wouldn't be like I was waiting on them. I saw André and Ivan coming out of the door laughing. I was wondering what they were laughing about"I'll call you to finalize it" André saidThen André came to where I was standing close to the door and he tried flirting with me"I'v
JESSE’S POV I had witnessed Adelia’s story and i was happy with the way it ended and I wanted a story like hers too, but I doubt it will ever happen, especially now I was given months to live. Andre and I had been seeing each other and he seemed so serious about me but I kept pushing him away and it pissed the hell out of him and that hurt me a lot.I had wanted him to hang out with other women and so he would feel like I was not into him that much and what was I supposed to do. I was barely going to last for a long time. I found out 2 years ago that I had colon cancer, and I had been broken. I was in so much pain and I didn’t want to tell anyone about it not even Adelia and I knew she’d be so worried about me. My parents were late and I had no siblings, relations I barely knew and so Adelia and Samantha were my only family. When I thought about it I was scared I was going to drop anytime without any of my loved one around me. But I didn’t want to tell either of them. I didn’t wa
These past few months have been nothing short of amazing. Being Ivan's wife and properly accepted by his family and friends, even the public too. We had a lot of interviews to grant and I had to deal with the press almost every time I stepped out for me that was the most tasking of it all. I was most grateful for having him by my side although being with him on this bed and him holding me was one of my best moments. Of late I had been feeling nauseous and tired but this morning it got worse and so I had to stay in bed even after he went out. I didn't tell him so he doesn't get so worried. So after he left for work I called Jesse. "Hey babe""Hey, babe are you good?""Not exactly. I have been feeling nauseous and super tired, I need you to escort me to the doctor""That is fine, I'll be with you shortly""Okay I will be waiting"I laid back in the bed, was too weak to go to the bathroom. My phone rang and I picked up and it was Ivan. I was a bit tensed about what to tell him, I di
Two months laterIt's been two months since Ivan proposed and he did not want us to waste any more time being together, he wanted to get married today. He said he didn't want us to be apart any longer."I was getting married today" the thought excited meI woke up with so much excitement and joy. My bridal shower was last night and it was so fun. I invited my friends Jesse( of course she has to be there), Caroline who was now heavily pregnant about to pop out soon, Miriam, Leticia and Angela and they came with their friends too.It was so much fun, we drank to out heart content, we danced and we played games, Ivan and I talked all through the night before we slept off, he told me his party was boring because I was not there. He was about to come over to my hotel to see me but he was not allowed to"It's bad luck for the groom to see the bride before the wedding". I told himIvan was not one to follow those traditions but I told him I wouldn't open the door for him even if he came."Ad
IVAN'S POVI wanted to take Adelia out today, it's been weeks since we went out on a proper date. She had forgiven and things were going smoothly but I felt Adelia did not trust me fully. I wanted her to trust me like before, I wanted her to be mine forever and that's why I'm going to buy a ring and propose to her.I walked into the jewellery shop to look for the perfect ring,I thought of throwing a party to propose to her but I knew she wouldn't like it. There was sapphire ring with diamonds on display which caught my attention "Can I see this?" I asked the jewellerShe brought out the ring and gave me it to me"I'll take this one" I told her " can I have it customized?""Yes sir, you can have it customized. Come this way" she led me to the back where there was a man."Good afternoon sir, what would you like to engrave on your jewel?""I want you to engrave Ivan loves Adelia""If you can wait a little bit I'll be done with it but if you can't wait you can come back later""I'll wait
These past few weeks with Ivan had brought me so much peace and I had no doubts in my heart that he loved me so much. He had asked me to move in and I did. He made sure I got everything I needed even without me asking. He was so sweet. He had insisted I come back to work Nat the hotel but I didn't want that. I wanted to be independent and build my empire and I meant every bit of it. Ivan was not happy with my choice but I had made up my mind and there was no going back. It was another morning and I was already dressed for work. I tried as much as possible to avoid any arguments with Ivan concerning my job not matching up to my status as his girlfriend and all. I understood what he meant though but he had to take me as I was. I rushed off to work and as usual, Rio was always and would always be a pain in my ass. Although we had started getting along, he was quite annoying sometimes and I didn't fail to let him know. Rio had asked me out on several occasions but I had turned him do
IVAN'S POV We got home really late last night, we took our shower and cuddled then slept off. Adelia l woke up first and when I woke up she was already getting dressed for work. "Are you going to continue working there?" "Yes and I have explained everything to you""I do not like the idea""You have to deal with it""Can't you change your mind"She came closer and kissed me. "I wish I could change my mind just like that. See you later" And she left. I had tried all I could to convince Adelia to resume work back at the hotel but it was futile. She made up her mind to continue working at the eatery and I hated it so much. So I came up with something, it was time she got her place and become her boss as she wanted. I set up a meeting with some good architects to draw a wonderful plan for a 5star restaurant and made Andre supervise it. I had to do other things that includes teaching Samantha a lesson. She messed up with the wrong person and I was not going to let it slide. Samant
IVAN'S POVThe get-together was barely over when I and Adelia left the place. I could not wait to take her home. I missed her so much and sure she missed me too. I allowed her to spend time with her family. From the way she was surprised to see them here, I feel like she hasn't gone to see them. The moment we got to the house I started kissing her and she kissed me back in return I grabbed her and carried her up to my room and in no time we were both naked. I turned to face her and held her so close to me while I admired her beautiful face. "I missed kissing your sweet lips"And then I kissed her gently and she responded."I love you Adelia more than anything and I wanted to make sure you knew that." "I love you too Ivan"I then moved my lips over hers and kissed her again, this time it was slow and deep"She responded to my kisses instantly and she pressed herself closer to me. I moaned a little I felt her softness and warmth against me, and my cock hardened almost immediately. S
IVAN'S POVDespite my apologies, Adelia refused to listen to me but there was no way I was going to give up. I would prove to her how sorry I am and make sure she believes and trusts me again. How was I so blind to the truth?" I had accused her and even said the wrong words to her even when she said she did not do it. I was very foolish. I was so restless. I kept calling her lines but she refuse to pick up her calls. I was pacing around my apartment when Andre came in. "What is the problem man?" "I have messed things up" "How?? What did you do?" "Adelia was not the one who leaked the contract" "What!!!?... who did?" "Her friend did""Wooo!! Don't tell me Jesse did that because I won't believe that" "No not Jesse... her other friend" "Samantha?" "Yes... Samantha and I are going to make sure she pays for it" "So what is Adelia saying now" "She doesn't want to forgive me for not trusting her" "Well she's right.. you gave up on her so quickly and you didn't even think twi
IVAN'S POVI called my private investigator Mr Louis Anterro, I called him during emergencies when I had to find out about somebody immediately or when I wanted him to look into my clients if they had any shady business or not. I needed him to quickly locate Adelia and where she was currently.I dialed his number and he picked up almost immediately" Mr Montero, how may I be of help?" He asked"Louis I need you to locate someone for me quickly""Who is that?""Adelia Katherine Cinzia, I need all information about her. Where she works, lives and her mobile phone""Is she not the woman who was on the new some months back?. Are you still involved with her?""I don't have time to answer those questions Louis. I need that information immediately" I said"I'm on it now" I heard some clicking in the background "okay. I got it, I'll forward it to you now"Thank God. What I liked about Louis is that he was efficient and the best at what he does. I trusted him enough not to say a word about thi
