"Emery," he whispered.

She silenced him, placing two fingers on his lips.

She wasn't ready to listen to his rants, she didn't want to know why she couldn't love him. Her mind was already made up about him. She was ready to love him. He'd been everything good to her, how could she not make his life worth living?

"Don't push me away, Benhail." She begged him.

He stood up from the bed and walked over to the window side to have a glimpse of nature. Admiring the view of the tall buildings from his room, the beautiful green color of some tall green plants. They were as beautiful as Emery. He shut his eyes and heaved a sigh.

"You can't love me," he felt her presence around him.

"Why can't I love you? The contract we signed?" She went over to the closet and brought out her copy of the signed document. She lifted the paper to his face and ripped it to shreds.

Benhail's eyes widened, "did you just rip that?"

"Yes," Emery took a bold step. "If that's the reason you are holding back, I just tore

    It's been four months since Emery got pregnant, and her baby bump was already shooting out. Benhail had gotten much better and was back to working at the office. He had implored her not to talk about his illness to him, he only wanted to be reminded of the good things that were happening in his life; Emery and the baby.Benhail smiled when he remembered the look on his face the first time Emery felt the baby kicking. She had hurried to his study, squealing and urging him to feel the movements of the tiny human that was inside of her. It was a big celebration for them, and he promised to do all within and out of his power to make sure the baby and Emery were safe. He was still lost in thoughts, oblivious of Mariana's presence in his office.She drew out an armchair, and the screeching sound of the chair caused him to jolt out of his thoughts."You must be very happy with those smiles on your face," she said, crossing her legs."Is there something that I need to know about?" He asked h

    They got into his room, Emery marveled because it was different from what she had envisioned; the room was very big, and properly cleaned. There was a king-sized bed, a loveseat, and a Coffee table there. The sheets on the bed were so white. She sat atop the bed and looked at him. "Your room is beautiful, boyish in a way though." She pointed at the hockey posters that were attached to the walls. "How come I have never seen you watch hockey, you seem to love it as a kid." She said."I lost interest," he sat close to her. "It's been a long time here." "Benhail," she took his hands in hers and gave them a gentle squeeze. "I don't want to talk about it, but does Cecilia know about your health?" Her eyes were focused on his hand that was on hers.His eyes darkened at her question, he shook his head. "No one apart from you and Liam knows about this." He retorted, holding her hand tighter. "She worries too much, I can't add to her worries. And didn't I tell you not to talk about it?""Now,

    Days after the visit to Benhail's parents' house, Cecelia pressured them about the dinner and Benhail still insisted on thinking over it. Emery wondered if Cecelia could tell that everything between them was phony. She had welcomed her properly and acted well, but she went from cold to hot when a discussion about May sprung up. She tried not to bother about it since Benhail assured her that night that he wouldn't fix a date for the dinner, but she still had doubts about him secretly calling her."What gender do you want the baby to be?" Benhail's voice jolted her out of their thoughts.She smiled, shaking her shoulders. "I should be the one to ask you that." "Anyone is good, a girl will be just as beautiful as you are and a boy will look so much like me." A small smile crept up on his lips.He pulled up in the parking lot of the hospital and turned to face her. She seemed nervous, even though she shouldn't be."Benhail, we haven't talked about what we are to each other." She said, b

    The loud rushing sound of the water waves pierced Emery's ears, she loved how beautiful the blue water was. She dipped her feet into the water and smiled, turning back to look at Benhail who was seated on the beach chair with a magazine in his hand. She shook her head, wondering why he was so interested in those female fashion magazines. She put her feet out of the water and giggled hard, she dipped them back into it and felt the coldness of the water surging through her. She shut her eyes for a brief moment to inhale the peaceful breath of nature.She felt large arms encircling her waist, she smiled and opened her eyes. She was lost in his arms for a while, both not saying a word to each other. Just enjoying each other's warmth."The water is beautiful," she said to him, breaking the silence between them."Yes, it is." He nodded in agreement. "You will get cold if you continue to keep your feet in the water." He kissed her earlobe. "Put on your slippers and let's go sit.""No, let's

    "Do you enjoy seeing these movies?" Benhail asked Emery. They were back from the beach and were in the living room watching a movie together."Yes, I do." Emery munched the popcorn, she smiled a little. "You don't?" She knew he didn't, she had noticed how uncomfortable he was whenever she begged him to see a movie with her."I don't," he said. He looked at her."I enjoy doing other things.""Things like what?" She stared flirtatiously at him."The things that made you moan when we were at the beach." He smirked, tugging on her pajamas. "Do you want me to start here or from the room?"She relaxed on the couch, "Agnes is not yet asleep." She mumbled."She won't hear us if you don't moan loudly, but I'm afraid you will be too loud." He got off the couch and extended his hand to her. "I can't get enough of you."He led her to the dining room and switched off the lights. Benhail placed his lips on hers, she felt so hot, wrapping her legs around his waist. He heaved her up and kissed her ro

She nodded her head.They got out of the car, heading toward the house, Benhail took her hands in his. Emery studied the environment. It was a big mansion that had a large surrounding. Not too many flowers were planted, just a few to beautify the inside.He linked their arms as ambled into the living room. They were welcomed in by a young lady, she bowed to greet them and led them to a table."Ma'am Isabella and her husband will be with you in a jiffy." She informed them, "what can I get you while you wait for them?" She asked."I am fine," Emery declined her request, Benhail asked for just water and in no time, it was brought to him.He thanked the maid, watching as she moved out of their sight."Are you okay?" Benhail turned back to check on Emery. She nodded her head in response and he was calmed."She has a very beautiful apa

    Five months had gone, and her bump was visible now. They've gotten so used to having each other around, Emery was glad Benhail wasn't holding back anymore. She stood in front of the mirror and grumbled."I don't like any of these dresses," she spun around, her face scrunching up in disgust. "It reveals too much,""It's perfect on you," he adjusted his tie and towered over her, she rested on his back, both of them staring into the mirror. Benhail was so charming she just couldn't resist him."I wonder what would become of me tonight," she said."What do you mean?" He kissed the back of her head."You are too gorgeous, Benhail. Too handsome, I'm sure girls who look like they just came out of a fashion magazine will be all over you tonight, and here is me, a fat woman with a huge tummy. What do I do?" She sighed, shaking her head sadly."Emery," he turned her around and cupped her cheeks with his hands. "A fat woman with a huge tummy?" He scoffed."That's the truth," she told him."That'

Mariana followed behind them like a puppet, she didn't have a choice, she had to honor the invitation by attending with her boss. Even though she'd thought she'd be his date, only for him to show up with Emery and now, she discovered a new thing."Thank you," Benhail smiled when the hostess drew out a chair for him. He pulled out one for Emery and didn't bother about Mariana. "Are you good?" He asked her."Yes, thank you." Emery glanced at Mariana, a smug smile playing on her lips.The table they were seated on was a table of four, Mariana had the option to sit close to Benhail since the last two seats were still empty, but after what she heard tonight, she didn't know what she thought about him anymore. She dragged out the chair that was close to Emery and crouched down on it."It's nice in here, none of these billionaires are as el

    The Shrill cry of baby Ella woke Emery from her afternoon nap. Tossing on the bed, she groaned and looked at her husband who was busy typing on the computer."Your baby is crying," Emery grumbled, attempting to get out of bed, but her eyes were still heavy. She hadn't slept overnight, baby Ella had been awake all night and she was trying her best to put her to sleep."I just gave her her food," Benhail left what he was doing, walking over to the baby's cot that was in their bedroom. They had moved the baby's cot to the bedroom immediately after Emery was put to bed, two months ago. She was against the idea of keeping her baby in a different room, so Benhail suggested they moved the cot to their room."She won't stop crying," Emery croaked."Get back to sleep, I will get her." He heaved the baby out of his cot and placed a soft kiss on her cheeks. She was tiny, and looked so much like him, exactly like him, making Emery jealous of the fact that she carried her for nine months and she c

    Some months later, Emery was dressed in a white chemise, standing in front of the full-length mirror. She stared into the mirror with tears in her eyes."We will be late if you continue to cry." Amery hugged her from the back, handing her a small handkerchief to wipe away the tears that stained her cheeks."I can't believe I am getting married today," Emery gently wiped the tears from her eyes. "Still baffles me.""You should be happy, Emery. There is no reason for you to cry.""I am happy, Amy. I am very happy, and these are tears of joy." She hugged her sister, gently sobbing into her shoulder."I am happy we found happiness, we've been through so much together and we deserve every good thing that's coming our way. Your wedding is today and mine is next month." Amery patted her sister's back. "Our parents will be so proud of us wherever they are.""I wish they were here to witness this day." Emery sobbed, but Amery calmed her down. She went on her knees to feel the baby in Emery's t

    "Happy birthday to us." Emery and Amery said in unison, clinking glass against glass. Cheering, they downed the content of the wine and Lola served them another round."To my favourite girls in the whole world, I wish you the very best life has to offer. I love you two so much." She raised the hem of her gown, leaning forward to kiss Emery on the cheeks, after she was done, she moved over to Amery. "Common, let's have a party." She clapped her hands as she walked to the centre of the room to tell the disc jockey to play some nice music.Amery and Emery had virtually the same thing on; the same knee-length straight gown but of different colours. Amery's was red while Emery settled for the pink one, the same pair of silver-coloured stilettos, the same makeup and their hair was done in the same style; they looked elegant and simple at the same time."Oh my, Liam is here." Amery squealed when she sighted Liam walking into the small restaurant they had rented for themselves for that evenin

    Benhail was standing in front of her when she swivelled around, she smiled, walking closer to him."How long have you been here?" Emery asked, snaking her arms around him."Since you started coordinating the models." He kissed her cheeks. "You are doing well, but don't stress yourself. The baby doesn't want stress, you know right?" She nodded her head to his words. "And I brought you snacks, I feel like you need them." He handed a bag to her, she took it from him and kissed his cheeks."Thank you, I was hungry." She led him to the couch that was in the lounge. She had stopped hiding the bump since the day she made up with Benhail; she hid it before because she didn't want the words of her pregnancy to spread to him.She placed the polythene bag on the centre table that was in the lounge, she picked one from the croissants, a bit on it and moaned satisfactorily."Tastes very nice," she gave one to him but he refused to take it from her. "Why don't you want to eat with me?" She asked, f

    Emery walked into the living room after Benhail dropped her. She met her sister sitting on the couch with her arms curled under her legs. She ignored her, walking into the room to meet Lola but Amery stopped her."Can we talk?" She asked Emery.Emery wanted to say no to her, but she changed her mind about that. She was on good terms with Benhail, things were good again it was because of Amery's effort to bring them back, she owed her one there."I am sorry," she started, staring into her sister's eyes. "I am sorry I went too fast even when you didn't want to. Can you forgive me?" Amery looked into her eyes, biting her lips.Emery smiled, her sister was too cute she couldn't resist her if she was being that way."I was truly worried about you, I am so sorry." She got up from the couch and walked down to sit on the sofa Emery was seated on. "You know we've always looked out for each other and got each other's back, I was just being a good sister, I didn't mean to hurt you." She took her

    "Guess it won't work here," Emery drawled. "Let's go home then," he looked into her eyes. She nodded her head in support. He kissed her lips and she got down, sitting back on the car's seat.Benhail started the car, driving at a very fast speed. The bulge between his legs had grown bigger and he couldn't wait anymore, he wanted to be buried deep inside of her, kneading her, thrusting in and out of her as she screamed his name.He arrived home shortly after, Emery kissed him in the car but he pulled away. "Come in with me."She trailed behind him like a lost puppy. He gripped her arms when they got into the house, tugging her closer, he stared into her eyes. "Benhail," she gasped and placed her lips on his. It started gingerly, carefully taking her lips in his and nibbling on them, she snaked her hands around his neck and moaned into his ears. "Please take me, I want you now, Benhail.""I know you do," he ripped her dress off her body in an instant. Emery gasped, giggling after. She

After the show, she went to address the models. When she was done with them, she strolled outside for fresh hair when she bumped into Anide and Benhail. She was surprised to see her.Anide ran towards her and pulled her into a big hug. "You are doing well and I am so proud of you." She told her."Thank you so much, I learnt from you." She said jokingly, hugging her again. "You didn't tell me you were coming though, I would have made reservations for you." She pouted her lips, ignoring Benhail even though he was standing right in front of her."Oh, I didn't have plans of coming over. Benhail wanted me to come with him." She smiled at Benhail. "And now there is something that interests me, I will see you guys later." She smirked at them, walking towards the photographer.Emery laughed, she turned

    The next morning, Emery was dressing up for work when she heard a knock at the door. Lola just left the house and she figured she was the one knocking since she had the habit of forgetting her things at home."What did you forget this time?" Emery opened the door and her eyes met with Benhail's. Her shoulders dropped, and her heart started to beat erratically. She was about to close the door but he stopped her. He grabbed her hands, pulled her inside and slammed the door shut."What are you doing here?" She asked him.His eyes met with hers when he stepped into the room, she looked away from him and repeated. "What are you doing here?""Emery, were you going to keep it away from me forever?" He inched closer to her. "Why didn't you tell me?""Tell you what? What are you talking about?" She feigned confusion. She knew he already figured out about the pregnancy, and she was sure Lola told him about it."Isn't it glaring?" His eyes ogled her body.

    "Hey," Emery smiled at Mariana when she got to her office. "Is your boss in?" She asked."Yes, he is." Mariana stood up to hug Emery. "It's been a while.""Yes, it is," Emery responded. Mariana directed her to sit down. "How have you been and how's your work going?" "Been great!" Mariana smiled, "I heard and saw that you started your fashion brand. Really beautiful, congratulations to you, Emery." "Thank you so much, Mariana. I would have loved you to patronise us but we only deal with plus-sized women.""I heard that too, a very great idea. I am so happy for you. That has always been my dream before I became a secretary to Benhail, but I love my job more now." She fanned herself dramatically."That's cool too." Emery nodded her head. "We agreed to be friends but we don't follow each other on any social media platform. Did Benhail tell you that I have people who can publicise your brand for you?""No, he didn't."
