"What do you mean by I will come to know of your intentions with time? if you are playing at making me nervous you could as well just drop the tactics already," she said defiantly. She continued. "You should know by now, that your tactics don't work on me, not even a bit." That was a big lie. Of course, he made her nervous, his words and the way he had uttered them, and the devious smile that accompanied his statement both excites her and made her weary.There was an attribute to him, something exotic and dangerous. Something forbidding, she was not safe around that was one thing she knew.Maxwell looked at her with a self-satisfied smile on his handsome "Don't tell me you are scared." it was obvious he was teasing her, but it still made her uncomfortable.Not waiting for her reply he continued in an emotionless voice "Anyways, I think we should come up with a working system suitable for both of us. I will send my driver to pick you up tomorrow if you're okay with that." She was s

Dari looked from her father to her mother and the rest of the adults sitting, she found it hard to believe they were serious.If she was not ready to abort her child, why do they feel that she would be willing to give up her child for adoption after birth?If they were not willing to accept her and her child then they were not much of a family, and she does not need them.She wanted them to be a part of the child's life, she wanted her child to be a part of the loving family she use to know, but this was not that family.Seeing that her father was serious about the condition he had given her. She looked at her father with tears in her eyes."Daddy, if this is the only option you have given me so I can be a part of this family, then I'm sorry I no longer want to be with a family that still refuses to accept my child my child will be my." Dari was heartbroken, this was the only family she knew after all, she grabbed her purse and left with tears streaming down her eyes this time she left

Dari was homesick. She missed her family so much that her heart hurts. this was the longest she had stayed without hearing from her father or seeing the rest of the family. Dari called her sister Lily and asked her to talk to their father and plead with him to accept her back into the family.The next day she was surprised to get a call from her father himself. It was a short call, he had simply told her to be there on Sunday for her niece's birthday.The rest of the week went by slowly for Dari as she fearfully anticipated the family get-together the coming Sunday. She was sick throughout the week, and always found herself head buried in the toilet bowl retching her guts out it was pure torture. She wondered how long it would take before her boss and colleagues started to suspect something was not right with her.Given the record of them always being all up in her business and the fact that they are physically and mentally incapable of not sticking their nose where it does not belon

Dari was having many emotions on the drive home, but of all the emotions she was having, anger dominated all, she was not worried about the test results, she knew the father of her baby was Maxwell, there was absolutely no doubt about that.But at the moment, she wishes it was anyone but him. She has never met a more despicable person in her entire life.His audacity and mightier-than-thou attitude were infuriating and repulsive. He must surely think he was the king of the whole world or he was delusional enough to think they lived in his universe. Either way, he was a lunatic."How dare he, who does he think he was trying to intimidate and bully me, and even offering me money, so I can take back my claim?""What an arrogant bastard," she continued, still fuming.Caroline was very curious about what happened in the office between the two, before they came in, in all the years she had known Dari, she had never seen her this angry, This person seems to get under her skin, she was amused

Maxwell looked at her like she was a lunatic and delusional. What she was saying was not possible at all."Miss Dari, I think you are mistaken. if you are truly pregnant, like you said, the child can't be mine." Maxwell spoke calmly, but calm was the last thing he felt.he could not believe that he had to go through this again. He always prides himself to be a good judge of character, but if the events of these past few months have taught him anything, it was that he was a terrible judge of character.It seemed to him that the only area he could trust his judgment was when it had to do with business.he knew that the Magazine feature would make him a target for false allegations and vultures who wanted to get quick cash by coming up with one claim or another, but he never thought they would start coming this quickly, it was barely three days since the magazine came out, and his face made known to the world, before that he was just a name without a face. Dari saw the look of disappoint

Dari was shocked to hear the words Michael was saying, she was beyond surprised, just thirty hours ago she had seen Michael kissing another woman, and yet here he was professing his undying love for her, she didn't know what to make of anything."I know I messed up," Michael continued " but the past few months without you have been like a nightmare, I felt like something was missing in me, the was a void in me that I could not be filled no matter how hard I tried to fill it." " I tried to replace you by having meaningless flings, but nothing could ever come close to what you and I shared. when I saw you yesterday I realized you were the missing piece."Dari spent the first three months after their break up hoping and wishing he would come back and they will fix their relationship, but he never did, and now here he was five months later and a day after she had just had sex with another man. His actions were too little and too late at this point."It's too late Michael, there is nothing

Once Dari was outside, she took a deep breath, a sign of relief, to her, it was like she had just walked through fire.Just when she thought her ordeal was over, she saw Michael walking out of the hotel with a beautiful lady.Michael was dressed in a blue suit that looked like it was tailored to his skin. She had almost forgotten how good-looking he was.she watched as his tall frame leaned over to kiss the beautiful lady, who was dressed in a ruched off-shoulder blood-red Armani gown. knee-length, with a plunging neckline. Dari could only applaud her elegance.Dari hid in a corner not wanting to be seen by Michael and his companion. From the corner she hid, she watched as they walked towards a parked BMW 8 Series Gran Coupe the lady entered the parked car and drove away leaving Michael behind.She was hoping Michael would enter the hotel so she can continue with her walk with some dignity, but all hopes of that happening went flying through the window.Michael walked towards her direc

"Oh, my God! oh my God!! I had sex with a stranger, " Dari said, realising what had happened, "please tell me we used protection at least. " " I don't think we did but don't worry, I'm clean I have no STD," Maxwell said while drying up his body, "listen I will be leaving now, you can order whatever you need, it will be added to my tab, meanwhile I have somewhere to be" "I'm Dari, it's.....' "Listen, Miss Dari, I don't think it's necessary knowing each other names. We might never meet each other again. Names are not necessarily at all," he said, cutting her short. Dari was too dumbfounded to reply to him, she felt his rude behaviour was uncalled for, at that moment she just wanted to leave the room and go far away from the stranger, who she thinks is just a mean jerk. She went ahead to pick up her clothes that were scattered around the room, she was embarrassed to find her clothes laying around, finally, she managed to pick up all her clothing, then walked to the bathroom to chan

chapter 1
Dari Williams woke up with a nagging headache, the kind that makes you want to stay in a dark, soundproof room. Yesterday, her decision to drink herself to numbness seemed like a good decision suitable for her mood, but now she realized it was just a temporary solution to a persistent problem. She was still trying to adjust to the light in the room when she heard the sound of running water. She jumped up with fear and tried to grab the baseball bat she usually kept by her bedside. As a single lady of twenty-three years old, living alone, her security was her number one priority. A gun would have been the best option, but her niece and nephews are usually around most weekends, so a baseball bat was the next best option and she made sure to always keep it just within arms reach.So, it was strange that when she reached out to grab it, and it wasn't there, then it clicked in her head, the missing baseball bat was not the only strange thing in the room, the floor was strange, her books
