Though her accounts had been frozen, she didn't care much. Her mum had left her some money in a secret account that even her father didn't know about. She had left a letter with their lawyer and told the lawyer to deliver in private to her, and she was not supposed to tell anyone except her sister, Mercy. She could not continue staying with Amanda for long since her sister would be moving in with her soon.
In the few months that she had met George, they spent the most time together and learned a lot from him about life and his life.
George was the only child to Mr. and Mrs. Kiiru and the first son of the county since his father was a governor. She would never have imagined he was the governor's son since he was so down to earth and respected others around him, not a spoilt brat as I would have thought.
So many times, he has tried to ask her to be his girlfriend but still, she could not give him a chance. All those times when she turned him down, she could swear she saw the hurt in his face.
It's not like he could not make her happy, but she was too afraid to fall in too deep and be betrayed later.
Today she was going to look for an internship. She had a few companies she would be dropping her papers to and in the evening when was going out with George Kiiru. However, he didn't like being called Kiiru.
Before 11 am, she had dropped most of the papers at the respective companies. She had one more company to drop her papers and go home to relax. Walking down the pavement o the GR ENTERPRISE, she could only pray that the first call could be from them. The inside of the building was so unique and everyone friendly. This is the kind of lively environment anyone would want to work in all the days before retirement.
She walked to the receptionist and told her she was there to look for Mr. Kibe Ismail about the internship they had talked about over the phone. She was directed to an office ahead of her on the left. She walked confidently, knocked on the door, and waited to be invited in by the one inside.
'Come in" She had a deep male voice inviting her from inside
'Thank you for having me, sir," She said as she stepped inside the office
"Please sit down. It's nice to have you here, Stephanie Jackson' He said as he directed her to sit on the couch in the office.
"Well, pleasure is all mine. Mr. George Kiiru directed me here, saying this could be a better place for me to do my internship.
"Well, George is a nice guy and knows the best when he sees one and would not have recommended you to me if he was not confident with your skills."
'George is the -" before he could finish it, somebody budged in the office without even knocking first.
"Hey, Kibe-"
"George didn't know you were coming over today thought the classes were overwhelming for you. Kibe said as he walked toward his friend and hugged him.
"Just got back from class and thought I should come and see how business is doing.'
'Hello Steph"
"Hello, George. What are you doing here?"
"Well, do you remember I told you I had a company?"
"Yes?"
"Well, it's the GK ENTERPRISE.
"Yes, I knew you loved it here and would like to experience the best."
"I wouldn't have agreed if I knew it. I want to experience life as it is without too much help, George, you know that."
"It's okay. There is nothing wrong with me helping out my friend though you are still rejecting my proposal. I love you, Steph, and I want the best for you."
'Let's not talk about that here."
"Okay. We still have our dinner tonight, but I would like you to come with me to my office and maybe give you a tour of the GR Enterprise."
"Alright. Nice to meet you, Kibe' Steph said, why standing on her feet.
'Pleasure was all mine. George talks about you all the time. You, apart from him being my boss, he is my best friend as well."
"Hope good things, though."
"Of course," Kibe answered.
George led her to his office and opened the door for Stephanie to enter. He closed the door behind and pointed for her to sit on the couch, and then he sat door with her.
"Now, this is my office, and when I am not in class or with you am always here.'
'It's quite a nice place you got here." You really are something, huh, you didn't tell me everything I had to know. I should be angry and throwing a tantrum, but I am surprised and still come and not angry, just a bit disappointed, though.
'Am sorry I didn't tell. I knew you would disagree. You are so proud, but I want you to be okay. Somewhere I can see you every day and know you are really fine. Steph, you know that I care about you so much that you are always on my mind. Life without you is becoming hard for me. I wish you could just give me a chance to be there for you. To love and cherish you. Please say yes to me. Be my girlfriend.'
'Come on, George, we have been through this already. You know that I am not sure I'll be able to love you without having doubts. I was hurt and heartbroken to pieces by someone that I trusted than own self. Let alone you. We have only known each other for almost a year now. We are good friends, and I wish I could be more than that, but I am really not ready." Steph said, holding George's hands tightly. Though she tried to not show her feelings for George. She liked him but was scared he would leave her when he met someone from his own class."I understand what you went through, but I promise you that I will not hurt you at any point. All I want is to love you with all my heart and be there for you every step of the way in your life Steph. You make me feel like no other has done before. I dream of you each time you touch my hand or shoulders. I want more than just the touch. Am really crazy about you, Steph. Please give me a chance to be with you.""It's not like I don't want you; it i
Dating has never been as enjoyable as it was to Steph. It feels good to have a boyfriend who cares and takes care of you. The next few weeks has been amazing working in George’s company. Though they have known it each other over a year and few months the feeling George has towards her has always been pure and true. She has given her all to the relationship. They say good things don’t last long and that’s what caught up to them. One day while on a date with George, a pretty woman walks up to them and looks surprised to see them. “Hey George” The look on Georges face could earn you a million if you sold to the public. He was surprised and kind of shocked. “Hey Sharon” “How are you? I wasn’t sure if it was you or not. It has been like forever since I last saw you. Have just moved back into the country recently and was thinking of coming over to see you and your parents one of these days.” “Well it has been long. Anyway meet
A few days later, Steph received a call from her sister. Her father was sick and admitted to the hospital. Though she may not be talking to her dad, it shocked her, and she was scared of losing him. After all, he was the only parent she had after the demise of her mother. She called George and rushed to the hospital. She found her sister Mercy and the rest of the family in the waiting room. Her sister ran to her and started crying, but her step mum started criticizing her when she stepped in.“I thought you left the family, and we have nothing to do with you? Why are you here?” said her step mum“I have all right to see my dad when he is not feeling and when he is feeling well. Besides, what has it got to do with you? If you feel like not seeing me here, then go out and wait there. Otherwise, shut up and show some respect at the hospital,” Steph replied while sitting down. She could see doctors inside the room and didn’t need to ask the pe
Mr. Jackson was surprised to see George and from the way he looked at him one could see he knew him well.“Nice to meet you sir.”“Well it’s nice to meet you too. I hope you have been taking care of my daughter. She is a bit stubborn but nice girl hope you can handle her well.”“You don’t have to worry sir. I love your daughter and nothing is more important than her safety and wellbeing”“I love that. My girl has found a nice guy indeed. Am not worried about her anymore with you by her side”“Come on dad why do you say that. Am good and also you are not going anywhere. I will be staying with you from now on.”“I know dear but he is a good company and hope he is a keeper as you are” Steph felt embarrassed to be teased in front of her boyfriend but she was happy”“Dad I have called the guy you said and heel be here later tonight also George said he will help whenever you need his help.“It’s okay. I know he will help. Why don’t you bring me chicken soup from the hotel downstairs while I
From the other room George could hear footsteps. He has always been a light sleeper. He was ready to see what the intruder wanted to achieve first before making a move. When he heard the door being opened he moved swiftly towards the room and caught the hit from Mr. Jackson on the intruder’s headEven after so many years he was surprised by the vigor he still had on him. A mafia is always a mafia even when the environment changes.He jumped on the guy and hit him hard and made sure he was unconscious. He then made a call and few men come to take him away.Steph woke up from all the commotion in the room and was surprised to see her dada and George standing in the middle of the room. Though her dad was sick and weak he seemed different. Also there was a man lying on the floorShe didn’t need to ask too much and waited for them to fill her in. She knew her dad and man very well. When they want her to know they will tell her if not then she won’t force it.When two men took the man under
Steph looked at the way George was looking at her blankly and knew he was deep in thoughtsShe moved and held his hands in her’s. He was brought back to reality with the gestures. He held her hand tightly and kissed her lips passionately. Steph was caught off-guard but still she responded with the same passion. She was brought back to her senses when she remembered her father was in the next room. She cut the kiss and held his chin looking into his eyes.“Not here babe. Don’t forget dad is in the next room”“Now tell me what’s happening”“Well I promised to be honest with you but am not sure if you are ready for everything that is happening.”“Someone send over the assassin to get rid of your father. We suspect it’s one of your father’s enemy that has been working with your stepmother for a while.”“What? For how long has dad known that Nicole is a traitor?“He says its way before you moved out of the house. In fact he thought it was wise of you to move out and pretended not to care t
The look he gave her showed how much he loved her. It would hurt her so much to see him in pain. No matter what happens, they have come too far to give up on the way.Besides, they are facing unknown forces with impending danger lurking in the dark. The best thing they could do at the moment is to be united.With a determined expression and decision, she nodded at him."I want to be with you no matter who you are. I love you and everything you have got, I can handle."George hugged her tightly and kissed her all over the face. She has never seen him this happy. He was all smiling. The determination in his eyes to make her the happiest woman on earth was evident. He has never loved anyone as much as he loved her. He was willing to do anything for her.In the following few days, things went well, and Mr. Jackson was sent home. George and Steph went with him from the hospital while her stepmom remained at home to prepare his room and meals before he came.The reason he was discharged ea
In a warehouse in the suburbs outside of town. There was a man tied hanging on the wall with signs of being tortured.The door was opened from outside, and a man walked in slow, clear steps."Has he spoken yet?'"No sir""Wake him up.""Okay"Coldwater was splashed on his face. He gasps for air before trying to open his eyes completely to look ahead. From the look of it, the man seemed to have been trained for years."Just kill me. Am not going to talk""You wish" George walked over to the man and sat down.He picked a rod and inserted it fire. He seemed relaxed, like whatever he was doing was normal. It looked as it was not his first time doing the same."It's not hard answering a few questions. At least you can still keep your life. I don't like blood spilled on my hands. Well, at least that is what I believe, but it always ends up happening anyway." George said in a relaxed cold tone as he folded his shirt's long sleeveIf Steph could see how cold her man was, she would think agai
