もっと見る“Mrs Harris, should we go ahead?,”Amelia was lost in thought that she was deaf to the maid’s question.“Mrs Harris, should I commence the cleaning?”She said again with a higher pitch and Amelia was forced to listen.she gave her a doubtful look and rubbed her protruding belly nervously.In Pamela’s absence,she was the woman of the house,she shouldn't be too scared to do the needful.“Go ahead Martha.”A boost of confidence filled her heart,the handmaid send a signal to the rest of the idle maids who followed her into the darkest room in the mansion.The forbidden one! Anabelle's old room.It was festive season and the annual ball party of selected Cheobal families was to be hosted by the Harris.Drake’s parent had taken a long trip to Paris to get the best designs in terms of clothing and interior decorations because they hadn't hosted one in a decade and Infinity Clothier was on the verge of attracting some very wealthy foreign investors so the party had to be…..Perfect!Pamela had ta
Amelia was right,her misery began that day.The tension in the air grew by the moment when she alighted at the mansion.Even Drake was perplexed,he didn't know how to handle the consequence of his rash decision.“Congratulations brother.”Cole’s annoying enthusiasm cut through the air and Drake couldn't help but scoff.The sarcasm behind his friendliness towards him that day was enough evidence of his happiness at the expected misery hole he just got buried in.“Miss Dinkins….oh! My bad..Mrs Harris,”“Welcome to our family.”He greeted Amelia enthusiastically but she responded to him with a curt nod and forced smile, obviously reading through his deceitful personality.Prior to the wedding,she had done her research on the Harris brothers and parents to have a brief idea of what she was getting herself into.And from her research,she found out that she was definitely in for a fierce competition.They walked into the living room where Pamela Harris sat with her designer taking off the lay
Amelia sank back into the chair,she batted her lashes at her reflection in the mirror,her face was the direct opposite of how she felt.The flawless makeup did nothing to accentuate her mood,on the contrary,it annoys her, feeling nauseated with the supposed sweet fragrance of every substance applied on her face and body,but she had to endure it for just that day because—-it was her second wedding within a few months' interval.She let out a frustrated sigh when a knock sounded at the door,she had specifically emphasized her instruction that she doesn't want any visitation till the wedding commences.But she knew Maya or her mother wouldn't let her be.To her surprise,a cold masculine voice cut through the door.“Open up Amelia.”Amelia rolled her eyes as fresh fury took over her,the freaking widower was here again!Probably to check if she hadn't absconded.She moved gently to the door and opened it to be faced by the very demon from hell that had come in human form to torment her life
Graham stretched his neck forward through the transparent barricade to the VIP section of the exquisite lounge. He adjusted his sunglasses as his eyes met with the very ones he was trying to see.He walked in confidently with his head up high and raised a defiant chin as the Harris couple stood up to acknowledge his presence.Amelia followed him closely behind but unfortunately she couldn't mirror her father's confidence because she knew she had more reasons to be worried.“Mr Dinkins,it is a pleasure you honored our invitation”.Pamela Harris said with a pleasant smile that eludes her eyes,the revelation had destabilized her system that she had to rush out in the middle of a pedicure.“Thank you”.Graham responded curtly disregarding her pleasant approach.He sat on the sofa opposite the Harris couple and Amelia sat beside him still burying her head staring intently at her swollen legs.Dickson Harris got the message clearly,his son had made a huge mistake,one that could destroy the co
Drake let out a sigh as the door opened unexpectedly, his eyes met with Maya’s and he could swear she was already in the knowing. They exchanged quick pleasantries and she urshered him in calmly.As he had predicted,Amelia looked nothing like the lady that radiated confidence in front of the camera earlier that morning.Her swollen eyeballs gave her away instantly,Drake could help but feel terrible for being the cause of her misery.“Take a seat Mr Harris”.“Hi”.Maya’s offer and Amelia’s shy greeting colluded,he took a seat on the sofa opposite hers but the right words eluded him. A well known demon in the business world who could seal any business deal within the hour couldn’t find his voice in front of a woman.Strange! Isn’t it?“Seeing you here proved her words right Mr Harris”.Maya knew she had to step in or else those two grownup would spend the rest of the evening in awkward silence. Drake nodded his head in affirmation.“What are you going to do about it?,” she questioned blu
Drake paced endlessly agitated by the reality of what he had done, he waited desperately for Amelia’s call but it never came through.“I can't overlook this”.He whispered to himself and got out of the office.He was certain it was his child but he was still confused on how to handle the overwhelming situation.He got into the elevator and it felt like it was taking forever to reach the ground floor.When he finally got there, it was as he assumed,the rumor of Amelia being a pretentious slut had filled the air.Some of his staff sank back into their serious work mode when they saw him but the customers couldn't care less,they kept dissecting the issue further and somehow—-it hurts him.Drake zoomed off the office premises without an actual clear destination in mind.Was it supposed to be the hospital? Or her home?The only clear thought is that he had to see Amelia.A thought occurred to him,he picked up his phone and dialed Maya’s number but unfortunately,she kept dropping the call.He
Amelia Dinkins looked very demure on camera, she wore a green body con dress and a black high heels, her hair neatly packed in a bun and her overall aura seem very pleasant. Who would have imagined a woman who a few weeks ago detached her wedding gown in front of multitudes and annulled her own wedding, calmly sitting and responding diligently to the host. Her rollercoaster was over, she had given herself a few weeks to heal all thanks to her family`s massive love and support. Now it was time for her to bury the ashes of the past. Leonard had stayed clear of her after her father had threatened to have him arrested if he persisted. Jennifer tried to build a relationship with him but he kept her at arm's length, all he decided of their fate was to co parent the child when it is born.Drake Harris' once busy days had resumed after it was destabilized for two days, he had work, work dinners, brand launching, contract signing. Amelia had been true to her words as Maya had modeled their l
Leonard Lane had found himself the best disguise to move around undetected, he had a straggly moustache and beards attached to his plain face which made him look a decade older.He had to find Amelia despite trying to avoid the reporters, he knew he couldn’t face her parents yet but he had to make her realize his love for her supersedes his lust for Jennifer`s voluptuous body.Tracking her phone wouldn’t work so he had to visit all her favourite malls, restaurants, and. salons. He reached out to Maya who was nettled by his betrayal but more worried for her sister`s safety. Her parents were already losing their minds desperately searching for their fragile daughter, despite the text she dropped about needing some time alone. They were afraid she might hurt herself so they had to find her as soon as possible.Drake Harris was afraid, he considered the implication of the precarious situation he had gotten himself into, Graham Dinkins could have him arrested for kidnapping his precious dau
“She sure must be suffering from a split personality disorder”, Drake thought to himself as he raked through the internet.Amelia Dinkins dramatic annulled wedding was the most sought after news. The reporters and bloggers made sure they captured the moment she detached her gown, and posted headlines like Dinkins daughter is mentally deranged, some said she was suffering from multiple personality disorder, some also said it was deep betrayal and grief.The well known Amelia Dinkins was a conservative lady who had clean records and no scandal up unto her dramatic wedding.***Amelia could not believe her eyes as she shook her head in disbelief, she managed to hold her sobs as not to make known her presence. Leonard had been immersed in his arousal that he did not notice her presence.Jennifer was half naked, as Leonard had unhooked her bra and was hungrily devouring her round plump breast, they were both moaning wildly, the quay was deserted enough for their privacy to be guaranteed.
“My darling, you look so stunning”.Madam de Bosse, a robust woman in her late fifties proudly declared beaming with excitement. Amelia looked at herself in the mirror, she had truly made a stunning bride, her makeover had accentuated her perfect blue eyes, pointed nose and round face giving off the look of sophistication. She had specifically requested for a red lip coloration on her full lips and a bold jewelry on her delicate neckline. Her strapless ball gown is one to sure make all heads turn. She had been initially skeptical about a revealing wedding outfit but she had to look the part for the day.“A penny for your thought Ma Cherie, i had an unsettling feeling towards your change of theme from conservative to provocative outlook overnight but looking at you now I am marveled at how perfectly gorgeous you look”, Madam de Bosse rambled on, Amelia contemplated ignoring her words but decided against it, she had to be as pleasant as possible.“I chose the best and most expensive de...
