The two of them slowly came down the stairs as she led him to the dining table. Nathan had wanted them to eat in the bedroom but she would hear nothing of it. Ever since she came, Nathan had always been in his room and it was more like the workers owned the house while he lived all caged up in his room. This was his house and she was going to make him live in it.

“Should I serve the dishes ma’am?” The butler asked as she nodded, all of them set for work.

This was the first time in months that Nathan was coming out of his room and it was a thing of joy, they could finally ogle at him and all that.

Audrey helped him to seat down before taking a seat beside him, this was more like a battle and she wanted to win. While Vanessa loved seafood, she was a lover of vegetables but now she was about to eat…..”

Her thoughts trailed off when she felt his hand on her shoulder and she turned her whole attention to him.

“You need something?”

“Nothing really” he answered with a happy expression on his

    The huge doors opened and the huge looking man who was in his late fifties entered, behind him were two young looking men who had his baggage with them and the stern look on his face made the workers in the house cower in fear.Mrs Hernandez who was just coming down the stairs stopped when she saw the person that just entered the house and her countenance changed, not like she was not expecting him but he didn’t even bother to tell her he was coming home after such a long time.“Aren’t you happy to see me?” The man asked as he spread his hands wide, “I am happy to see you by the way”The lady rolled her eyes without saying anything, this was how the husband and wife lived. They loved each other deeply but didn’t miss a single chance to fight and the fact that he didn’t even tell her he was coming annoyed her the most.“Why didn’t you let me know you were coming, Ethan?” She asked nonchalantly while lowering herself on the sofa, “don’t I mean anything to you?”The man sighed and perch

    “Hey” a soft gentle voice filtered into her ears and Audrey slowly opened her eyes, at first she was wondering where she was until the beautiful face of the man in front of her came into view and she couldn’t help but ogle. How could a man be so pretty even without eyes? Maybe God was choosing favorites because this was one hell of a fine young man.“Are you ogling at me right now?” Nathan asked and Audrey gave an awkward scoff.“Of course not, I was trying to understand where I was. Why will I ogle at you?” She added with a pout and rolled her eyes, “don’t kid yourself”“Oh, someone woke up feeling feisty huh?” Nathan teased and a giggle escaped her lips, the morning already showed it was going to be perfect.“Why are you in my room by the way? I haven’t even washed my face Nathan, don’t you have any sense of privacy?” A pout was on her lips as she talked, “you should learn some manners”“Really?” The young man couldn’t believe his ears, “for a person who walks in on me when i am get

    “I don’t give a fuck about your dad?” Audrey had to ask, why the hell did she not know anything? Was Vanessa a maniac? How did she even get into the bad books of the man?“Did you have an accident and you didn’t tell me about it?”Nathan asked again, “how can’t you remember some things?”“Uhmmmm” her voice trailed off, she was trying to look for a perfect lie to give but nothing was getting in her head, “actually it has been so long and I was thinking maybe he was has already forgiven me and maybe like me a little”“Oh I see” his lips stretched into a little smile, “Don’t force it okay? He doesn’t have to like you. I like you and that’s the most important thing, okay?”“Hmm” she nodded but her heart was already tightening against her ribcage, her lies were growing into something bigger and bigger.“I…” he stopped talking when his phone buzzed again, “excuse me” Nathan picked it up and slowly made his way to the living room again. Because he was blind, his house was built in a way tha

Billions of dollars were spent on making this island look as beautiful as it is and it was worth it.“You seem to enjoy your tour” Nathan’s voice filtered into her ears and she turned to him with a huge smile on his face.“Of course Nathan, this is very beautiful”“I actually wanted to bring you here after we got engaged like this was supposed to be your engagement gift but it was not possible” the pain he felt was much worse than he could even comprehend, he was just thirty and he was already suffering so much.Audrey couldn’t believe her ears, this was her sister’s engagement gift?

    Audrey slowly opened her eyes and had to shield her face from the morning sun while yawning lightly. The incident of the night before became fresh in her memory and she could feel the color creeping up on her face.

Of course I am” he paused for a moment, his eyes not leaving hers for even a second,“ I am upset and it's all your fault. How could you just discard me after being with Nathan? Do I mean nothing to you at all?“I said we were going to talk about it when I get back, right?” She inquired, “and I am sorry okay? I was just v

    The moment Nathan’s car came to a halt in front of the building, he immediately unbuttoned his suit before making his way towards the reception.This was one of the biggest hotels in New York and he was wondering why his blackmailer asked him to be here. Wasn’t this too exquisite?“Hello sir” the receptionist flashed him a smile, “welcome to sugar”“I am here to see Mr Stefan,” he answered.“One second” the lady muttered and began to type away on her system. After a few seconds, she looked up at him again with a smile on her lips.“Yes, he is expecting you. He is by the poolside”With one last nod, he made his way towards the pool and only one man was seated under a nice shade. Nathan knew he was the caller and didn’t waste time in walking toward him but he was immediately stopped by his guards, a gesture that made his forehead crease into a frown.“Let him go,” Stefan said from where he was seated.Rolling his eyes, the big boss walked up to him and he didn’t even bother to hide the

    It was already past eight in the night when a soft knock resonated on the door of the room and Bianca gently opened her eyes before making her way to the door and when she saw who it was, her countenance changed. What the heck was he doing so late at night? Wasn’t he tired? Her head was throbbing and she just wanted to go back to bed.“Why are you here, Nathan?” She asked him from the door, not bothering to even invite him into the room, “it is already so late and you are here?”“Can we talk?” The big boss questioned, his voice bland and without any emotions, “I can not sleep and I think we should talk”Bianca rolled her eyes to the back of her head and glanced into the room. Her daughter was sleeping peacefully on the bed and she didn’t want to wake her up.“What exactly do you want to talk about Nathan?” She akdes again, “we have been talking without any new words, I am really not In the mood to talk to you”“We can either talk here in our daughter’s presence or away from her hearin

    Xavier gulped at her question and he raked his hand through his hair. He was definitely not expecting what she had just said.He raked his hand through his hair as he stood up from his reclining chair and walked up to the large window that served as a wall in his office.“What are you saying, Bianca?” He was completely lost for words.“You like me, don’t you?” She asked from the other end, “I think we should get married, what do you think?“Why are you suddenly saying all this, B?” He couldn’t help but ask, “did Nathan do something? Are you okay? Should I come over?” She heaved a sigh from the other end and he realized she was just stressed out. His heart broke for a split second, he actually thought she meant it but she wanted to use him to get away from Nathan again. The mere thought of him annoyed me to the core of my being.“You know what?” Bianca began to talk again, “it was a mistake” not bothering to wait for his response, she ended the call while Xavier balled his hand into a

Anything at all.With that at the back of her head, she pressed towards him with an expressionless look hovering over her face.When Stefan heard her walk into the room, he immediately turned to her and for a moment he was tongue tied. This was the woman he had not seen face to face for years and she still looked stunning, how he wished.“I thought you were not going to come” he said while taking slow steps towards her“And here I am”Louisa answered, “we should get straight to business”After talking, she slowly lowered herself on the chair in the room while crossing o

    A tall looking man was seated on a reclining chair, a cigarette protruding from his mouth while a glass of whiskey is seated beside him.He is well built with his muscles peeking out of his crisp white shirt while his bare chest had a lot of visible tattoos.His door pushed open and another man sauntered into the room before bowing lightly.“Boss” he greeted, “you sent for me”“I have a job for you, Augusto” he turned his attention to the man who had just entered the room.“I am at your service boss” Augusto answered, “just give the order”“Louisa called,” the man announced again and Augusto's forehead creased into a slight frown when he heard the name. This was a name he had not heard for years and suddenly she was back into their lives? How was that even possible!

After having an argument with Bianca, he decided to book a hotel for the night and moreover he didn’t want to stay in a house full of women.“Where are you going?” Aunt Aurora, who was seated in the living room, asked him, “I cleaned up the guest room for you,” she added.“Thank you aunty but I have already booked a hotel, I will come back tomorrow to check on her”“Did you tell Bianca you were leaving?”He shrugged as a painful smile appeared on his face,“She wouldn’t care, thank you so much for taking care of my daughter.
