VERONICA'S POVAdelia had become a stubborn thorn in my flesh and I needed to take her out as soon as possible but I had no plan yet. Ivan had become so distant all because of that twart, I had to make things right for myself and it had to be now before he gets married to her. The country would mock me for letting a nobody take my man from me just like some of my friends were already doing.Melissa's jest was too much, she had encouraged me to take what is mine and if it does not come easy I should take it by all means possible. It was time to actI picked up my phone and called Melissa. She picked up almost immediately it rang "Hey babe, we need to see," I said"Hope there is no problem?" She asked"A little thought it is about Adelia," I told her"Okay let's meet at our usual hangout spot"" See you in a few minutes," I said hanging upThe moment I got off the phone, I picked up my bag and headed outside, I was already dressed in a Gucci polo and ripped blue jeans. I entered my Car
IVAN'S POVI came into work today a little late. I had not seen Adelia after we came back from our trip. I had a lot of business meetings to attend to and I wished I could take her along with me. As I entered into the building I anticipated seeing her.I wanted to go to her office and see her first before going else where, fortunately for me I saw Adelia in my way. I was more than excited to see her on that sexy black pencil skirt which brought out her hips and the peach coloured blouse which showed her breast with some cleavage."Oh look at my sugar, where have you been babe?" I said pulling her to my side, we were fortunate to be in a lonely area and so I started kissing her all over her neck"Stop it babe, somebody might see us" she said"Then let me take you somewhere private and make you scream in pleasure" I whispered seductively"No... We can't Ivan. I have a VIP guest who needs my attention now"she said"What sort of customer is more important than me? , Send someone else to
I woke up very early in the morning and it was already 5 am, Ivan was fast asleep by my side and my thoughts drifted to the events yesterday I still couldn't believe Veronica would go this far to hurt me, was she trying to set me up. What was her reason for doing this?"Was it because of Ivan? " I thoughtI looked over to Ivan lying next to me holding me like he would never let go. I was grateful he came to save me if not I would have had another story to tell. Thinking about the incident with Victor I could still feel his hands and kisses all over my body, I was really disgusted.I walked into the bathroom and scrubbed myself very hard my skin was starting to hurt and it felt like it would peel but I didn't care I scrubbed like my life depended on it. I started crying again, I cried more than i did before. I felt two hands hold me and Ivan stepped into the shower holding me in his arms while I cried my eyes out. I'm sure my eyes would be puffy, he assured me everything was fine and h
It's been two days since the incident, despite the fact that Ivan had insisted I continued staying at his house till I was much better,I insisted going back to work. I had given the workers a lot to talk about maybe I was curious to know all they said and I would find out from Caroline she would tell me what the gossip mongers at work had said and besides I was not sick or recovering from any sickness.I was only in shock at what would have been a rape, but I was over it now and I was very thankful to Ivan for being my knight in shining armour and he was still nursing and pampering me like I was a baby. I had a lot of work on my desk unattended to and I needed to go back before it got bigger. I entered into the hotel building and I noticed all eyes on me, it was quite early and there were no guests yet. It was mainly the employees and their eyes were fixed on me, just a few people at the lobby and reception and I could hear their whispers 'Is she not the one?'"The one? Why the stare
IVAN'S POV For the past few days I had been having meetings back to back and I could not wait to take a break. My meeting with Cofran group of companies was successful. We won the contract. I had other meetings to attend today. I had a very busy schedule. Andre had been calling me non stop while we where still in the board room. I intended calling him after the meeting and that was what I was about to do when Natasha's call came in. It was really awkward for Natasha to be calling me this early. "Hey sis" "Hey Nat" "How are you?""I'm good what is up?" "Have you been online today?" "No not yet, been busy all morning... why you asking?" "Nothing really... just that there is something you should see" I was curious to know what she was talking about that I did not wait for her to say anything else before i ended the call. I went online and I was shocked to see the news. My pictures and Adelia's were all over the media with the headline THE TYCOON'S SEX CONTRACT LEAKS. I was r
I still couldn't believe our contract was out in the open I thought I was in a dream and somebody would just wake me up, I switched my phone on and the contract was trending on twitter and all social media platforms. Ivan was very angry when he came to see me, I've never seen Ivan look at me with such hate and disgust.I was reading through the comment section and I saw so many hateful comments directed to me. They were all blaming me for being so stupid. Some were calling me names like 'whore', 'slut', 'she sold her body for a position in the hotel'What?I was angry at that particular comment, how dare they?, They had no right to judge me I didn't get that position because of Ivan, I got that position because I work hard. I scrolled and some people were defending me, I was thankful that some people understood from my own side.A call came in while I was scrolling through comments, it had no name and I was wondering who was calling me. I picked up"Hello, am I speaking to Miss Adelia
I felt much better when I woke up today. I was not feeling as bad as I felt yesterday. I made up my mind to send in my resignation letter today,I didn't want to be anywhere close to Ivan or anything he owned. I wrote the letter and put it in an envelope,I wanted Jesse to escort me there, I knew if anything bad happens she will right for me."Jesse" I shouted her nameShe came running to my bedroom"It's anything the problem?, Are you alright?" She said "Calm down Jesse, I am fine. I just wanted to ask if you could escort me to the hotel""Why do you want to go there?""I want to send in my resignation letter""Are you sure that's what you really want to do. Remember I told you don't make decisions when you are angry. Think about it first""I've already thought about it and that's what I want to do. I don't want to have anything to do with Ivan, if I'm going to move on from this I really need to do this. Please I just need you to escort me there, you don't need to follow me inside, I'
One month laterIt has been a month and three days already since I sent in my resignation letter at the hotel and it still did not make me feel any better. Sometimes I want to cry for loosing Ivan and sometimes I just want to punch him for not believing in me and letting me go so easily. He gave up on us.Jesse and Samantha have really been supportive, they have tried their possible best to keep me happy. I also moved in with Jesse because my rent had expired and I didn't have enough money to renew it.Jesse insisted I get a new job which I have been looking for quite sometime but I did not succeed because nobody agrees to employ me"You need to get a new job as soon as possible". She said"I've tried my best looking for a job but it feels like the word only recognizes me as Ivan's sex piece"."C'mon do not say that, well guess what?, I've found a job for you already""Really?Oh my god""Yeah, although the pay is not much... Please You can manage it"."Thank you so much Jesse, I really
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
