Corey came to the room after talking with the man, I attempted to ask him questions because I wanted to know the identity of the man, but whenever I made a trial, he became agitated and yelled at me. His behaviour was suspicious, so strange that I made up my mind to talk to the man who had just left, but first I had to carefully take his phone number from my husband's cellphone.I seized the opportunity and collected the number after we had gone to bed, I knew my husband and I was certain that he was going to leave his phone by his side, that's what he always does..The following day, I woke up quite early and made a decision to go for a morning jog, I never go out so early in the morning and now that I am pregnant, it'll be like triggering suspicion with my husband when he finds out that I have gone out without his knowledge and alone this early..."Good morning ma'am, who are you looking for?"The man protecting the gate stopped me from entering and he even pulled out a pistol, d
I did everything possible not to get on the nerves of my husband, after all, we got back home after almost getting killed by his enemy. I still wonder what type of relationship Corey and Daniel share?..The following day, my Mother-in-law wanted us to go to the Corey store for shopping , and ever since what happened last night, I needed anything that was going to stop me from staying at home..Though, Corey wasn't upset anymore with me, I still felt bad and was willing to do anything to appease my husband's upsetting behaviour..We came to the store and my mother-in-law went towards the vegetables sections and while she was at it, I looked through the gift options for the perfect gift for my husband.."Ma'am, Do you need help?". A lady wearing the store uniform approached me, she was willing and eager to assist me.."Yes, I'm looking for a gift for my husband?". I kept the golden wall clock back on the shelf and smiled at the lady.."Oh? I have the perfect gift" The lady pointed
"Where did you find her?"..My mother in-law ran outside the minute she saw Corey and I ambling towards the door.Corey controlled the situation by explaining to her what had happened, I was hoping she wouldn't give a damn, but it surprised me the moment she grabbed her son by the ear and warned him from doing anything that was going to endanger her grandchild.While she was talking to her son, my eyes turned toward the door and it came as a shock to see my mom and dad standing so close to each other. "I'm sorry, am I dreaming?"..I left Corey and his mother behind..Mom smiled as she took the hands of my father."Nah! You're not because your dad and l are back together". Mom kissed Dad on his lips and grinned back at me..What is happening? Who would have talked to my parents and convinced my stubborn and not headed mom in giving dad a chance?..Was it perhaps Corey or my mother-in-law?."Did you do this?". I asked my husband.."Nah! Not me". Corey moved away from his mom's glances
The next day, Corey and I woke up naked on the couch, it was so shameful we hurriedly had to wear our clothes and that was before Mother-in-law came downstairs and was surprised to find us at the living room.." Don't tell me, y'all slept here?"..She said as she addressed the question to me.I looked back at her son after all it was his Idea and the main reason why we had to make love on the couch instead of going back to the room.."We didn't mom, we just came out of our room?"..Corey extended his hand over to my shoulder and dragged me .."Oh! So you both forgot to change your clothes?". Mother-in-law ogled at the both of us..Corey smiled and then turned and looked at me."Let's go baby," he grab my hand and pulled us away from his mother's suspicious gaze..What would have happened if he did tell her the truth, that we had sex on the couch and afterward fall asleep? Would she have become upset with her son or worse case scenario , angry with me?..Corey left for the office,
I followed Corey to the airport, he was already set and ready to enter the airplane when he turned back and gives me a warm smile..That smile usually means, I'll be back and take good care of yourself " either way, I didn't feel alright with his abrupt business meeting outside the city for a whole week..Back home, Mom assistant Sara in preparing breakfast, she's only this helpful whenever someone gets her upset or she's stopping herself from talking about a particular person.."Good morning Ma'am"Sara let's out immediately she spotted me standing by the kitchen door. my hands on my waist as I walked further in and heading toward the kitchen counter, across where mother-in-law stood and helped in preparing breakfast.."Has my son left for his business trip?".She asked after Corey and didn't even bother to look at me. I was kinda thinking she might be crying and doesn't want me to see it.."Yes ma'am, do you need help?". I wanted to volunteer myself in making off the breakfast, How
We arrived at the airport and Jason's private jet was ready to fly us out to where Corey was, i kept on asking too many questions but the more I wanted to question Jason the quicker he changes the topic, there was something wrong going on which he doesn't want to tell me..Lucia on the other hand continued to ogle at my husband's bed friend, her mind, body and soul was with Jason who was yet to know her and her name. With everything and how fast we left for the airport, he didn't ask for her name.."Muna, whatever happens, stay away from danger". Jason warned me , giving me the rule's of not getting killed..I Knew it's best to stay away from danger, but I won't sit idly if anything were to happen to my husband, I'll have to fight for myself and our child.."Fine , I've got Lucia afterward" I stylishly introduced the both of them..Jason looked at my friend and smiled. "Nice! How are you Lucia". He took Lucia's hand and softly brushed his lips against her cheeks. That made her C
The following day, Corey wanted us gone, but prior to our leaving, he got a disturbing call that immediately changes his mind..And so instead of going back, we were taken to one of his hideout and left with a few of his and Jason's bodyguard.."Please don't do anything stupid while I am away, I'm begging you". Corey begged me, and in his attempt to foil any of my plans of coming out and putting our child in danger, he made me swear.."Fine, I promise, I won't". I swore with the life of our child, he made me to swear. ."Nice! Thank you" he carried me up to my room, and before leaving Lucia was requested to take good care of me...Lucia gladly accept the responsibility of taking care of her friend, though , Corey didn't have to ask, her bold step of agreeing was a way of making Jason show interest in her.."Take care of yourself, Muna". After Corey left, Jason said, he turned to Lucia and once more she was asked to look after me with special care.."I believe you can do anything ri
She showed me books about Corey and his family, literally starting from the first edition to the last book and what shocked me wasn't the fact that Corey's parents weren't always mafia, they had a decent job and made an honest living, something happened that caused them to change and their lifestyle made them and Corey accept a life of crimes. Being Mafia lords and ladies, the last Mafia lady before Corey died and Corey stands to take the olden gem of the last Mafia lady, that gem doesn't just signify the next heir, it provides royalty and compels the other families to bow down and worship the supreme lord, which is Corey."I'm confused, Since Corey is the next in line, why the battles?".Lucia confused about what was happening, asked me, I too had no idea why but wouldn't mind finding out."I don't know, but I think we should wait for Corey and Jason to come back"...I asserted, leaving the study room.I took the book along, I'd want to read more about the lost gem of their last Mafi
