Chapter One

Lisa got to work as early as she could and went about organizing the office. She stored away files in alphabetical order and colour coordinated the books on the shelf. Everything had to be perfect, the CEO of their chain of companies was going to visit their branch for the first time since she had started work as a sales representative at the company. Word was that he went to every single office and gave his remarks when he was done. He also wasn't one to tolerate tardiness. From what she heard, he was the perfect example of the rich asshole stereotype. His name was whispered among workers, no one wanted to be caught on his bad side. Lisa was bent over, arranging the books on the bottom shelf when she heard someone clear their throat behind her. She was startled and almost fell over but the stranger's strong arms steadied her. He smelled of exotic cologne and man. Lisa looked up to meet his gaze and literally jumped away from her position in his embrace."I

Chapter Two

   Jack hung his jacket up in his walk-in closet as he mulled over the activities of the day. He had surprised himself when he'd proposed to Lisa his own version of marriage. Sure he'd known what he needed to do, his mother wouldn't stop reminding him of it and he'd long-drawn that contract but he didn't know who he was going to give it to just yet until he saw her. Even bent over, she'd been a sight to behold but when she turned around, his mind was made up. He had been going over his options, considering all the girls that he thought were prospects but his heart just wasn't in it. He didn't want to fall in love, didn't need to. It was too much trouble to go through and still end up disappointed. His mother wanted him to get married and bear children and that was what he was going to do. Who he did it with or how he went about it wasn't really her business. He could understand his mother's persistence however, time was of the essence.    He'd been m

Chapter Three

Two weeks had passed since Jack proposed to Lisa. Neither had heard from the other and Lisa had finally relaxed, it looked like her job was still safe. Jack had also not tried to reach her again so she took it to mean that he had given up on the idea or perhaps, he'd found someone else. For someone who had refused Jack's proposal, Lisa was surprised to find that she wasn't thrilled at the prospect of Jack marrying someone else. But that was over, she'd put a cap in it and she hadn't heard from Jack ever since. Until that morning. Lisa got to work bright and early as usual and set about the day's activities. At 10 am, she was nose deep in a pile of paperwork, so much so that she didn't notice the delivery man until he was right in front of her. "Excuse me, ma'am, I have a package for a Lisa. I assume that would be you since I was directed to come here."Lisa looked up to find a teenager staring nervously at her. "Yes, I'm Lisa.""Great, sign he

Chapter Four

Jack needed to see Lisa again. It had been a week since she turned him down, a week of sending texts and leaving gifts. He was going against everything he believed in because of this one girl. He needed to get her out of his system, it wasn't like him to pine over anyone. Jess had said she would look at the contract and if she was satisfied, they would be married. So that settled the wife thing which was the whole reason he was seeking Lisa out in the first place. Yet he felt like he wasn't done with her. She was a constant part of his thoughts and it was starting to get on his nerves. For all his gifts and attention, she had never given him more than a friendly thank you. He got up and took his suit jacket from behind his chair and headed out. If what he knew about her was true, she would still be at work. Yeah, Jack was keeping tabs on her, who wouldn't? She was the sexiest woman he had seen in a long time, and that was saying a lot because he'd travelled a lot and se

She was supposed to drop her off at the office of a private investigator that Tersoo, Tess's boyfriend had found for them. It was supposed to be the first day of operation find Mathew and Jess wasn't out yet. Tess had work to get to and didn't appreciate the extra time Jess was going to make her waste.Theresa marched to Jess's room and barged in, thankfully it was unlocked. Much to her dismay, Jess was still lying in her bed in her pyjamas."Jessica Tinuke Coker, what do you think you're still doing in that bed?" Tess's voice rose to a high octave at the last word."Oh god." Jess groaned into her pillow."I am supposed to drop you off at your PI this morning. Care to explain why you're not ready?""Just go without me." Jess hated mornings. Even alarms weren't always successful in getting her to wake up early."What do you mean go without you? You have an a

Chapter Six

   Lisa almost ran as she made her way to Jordan's room, panicked. The door was locked, probably because Francis was over but Lisa knocked over and over until she came out."Dude, why are you threatening to break my door this early on a Saturday morning?""He called, Jordan." Lisa almost broke as she said the words and Jordan immediately understood and gathered her friend in her arms."What did he want?" Jordan asked after Lisa had calmed down. They were now sitting on a couch in the living room."He said he doesn't have a place to stay and he knows I have an apartment in the city so he wants to come and stay with me, just till he can get back on his feet." Lisa's bottom lip quivered as she said the words. "Which would mean he knows where you live.""I have to leave.""You will do no such thing.""But he's going to come here Jordan, and you know how he gets. I don't want to put you in any trouble."

Chapter Seven

Something wasn't right. Lisa looked around, she'd heard footsteps but no one seemed to be behind her. She kept walking but had the feeling again and turned around but yet again, there was no one. It was dark so she couldn't really see beyond a few steps. She picked up her pace and walked as fast as she could.  Lisa had caught a ride back home with a colleague that lived a few blocks away from her. She had been working late and when she got out of the office, she met him in the parking lot about to head home and he offered her a ride so she took him up on his offer. She didn't want to burden him so she insisted on walking the rest of the way home when they got to his apartment. Lisa kept walking as fast as she could towards her apartment. She would occasionally hear the footsteps but then they would stop. By the time she got to the front door, her fear was suffocating and she couldn't get into her apartment fast enough. &nbs

Chapter Eight

Jack drowned his fifth glass of Whiskey that morning. He'd gone back to work the previous day after the fight with Lisa and worked himself to stupor. In his mind, everything was alright. But was he wrong? The next day, he woke up feeling like crap. He couldn't wrap his head around it, the feeling couldn't be explained.  He'd dressed up and gone to work as usual but for three hours, he was completely useless. He couldn't think, couldn't function, couldn't even be angry and snap at the staff. He couldn't remember ever feeling like that and he was at a total loss.  He reached for the bottle again at the same time Ben walked into his office. "Woah... What has you indulging so early? " Ben asked as he dropped into one of the seats on the other side of Jack's desk. "I don't know how I feel, man." Jack poured the drink and took a generous gulp, the alcohol couldn't kick in fast enough. "What happened

Chapter Nine

Lisa was in bed trying to read a novel but getting nowhere with it when her phone dinged, indicating a text message. She grabbed her phone and pulled up her messages, it was Femi.  Hello beautiful  For some reason, she couldn't stop the smile that spread across her face. Her mood of late had been dampened by her little episode with Jack and there was rarely anything that gave her joy. It had been five days and she hadn't seen or heard from Jack ever since she told him to move forward. It was the right thing for both of them yet she felt like a part of her had gone with him. She also hadn't heard from Femi since she called him to thank him for the ride down to Abuja, she sometimes forgot about him.  Hey you... Lisa responded.  How are you today? Someone didn't miss me. Says who?  Is that you saying you missed me?

Chapter Ten

The engagement party was in a few hours. Jack couldn't bring himself to even pretend that he cared about it. Jess had been handling everything by herself since he literally barked at her to leave him alone. He wired her the funds and asked her to do whatever she wanted with the party. His mother was going to show up and be happy, that was all that mattered to him. It didn't matter if Jack himself was miserable, he was doing what needed to be done. He was doing right by her, fulfilling her desires.  Jack looked at the time, he had barely two hours to sober up and play the doting fiance. The thought of it left a bitter taste in his mouth but it had to be done and that was what he was going to do. He walked to his kitchen and fixed a cup of coffee for himself, the amount of alcohol in his system was enough to knock a weaker man out. Alcohol had become his companion, he didn't know what else to do with his newly discovered feelings. It became clearer that he ha
