All Chapters of Meant To Be HIS : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

You know how David said; 'I was glad when they said we should go to the House of the Lord'? I could totally relate to it because I felt so much joy being in church that evening after a successful counseling session with Celia. I was so blessed by the sermon, I shed a few tears and had to hide my face from the media team who had their cameras ready as always. Not today people. Did I mention how blessed I was by the service in its entirety? Cause believe you me, I walked out of there with a whole new level of confidence. Confidence that was soon dissipated when Damien's call came through while I was driving back home. "Hey baby." I chirped a little too excitedly. "Mi amor," His sultry baritone filled my ears, sending butterflies on a rampage in my belly. There had to be something God put in his voice that had me weak in the knees every time. "How was your trip?" I asked. "It was a good one. Work already began on the site before I came." He said. "That's great. You met with your ne

I had an attitude all through the workday. It was midday, Damien had been away for a week and half and he had the audacity to go a day without talking to me. And even when I tried reaching him, he was not picking up. In fact, he was offline. Having a 'talk' with Claire had her avoiding me in the office and that made me so fulfilled. I had had enough of drama and I did not sugarcoat words when I spoke to her about her obnoxious attitude. I called her out on her obvious attempt to compete with me over my husband, she blatantly denied it and I warned her to let it be true cause I had my ways of handling such people (even if I didn't)."Is there a problem Alfred?" I asked him when he had been quiet and staring at me for longer than a minute since he entered my office."We have a problem." He said, gulping afterwards."Not another scandalous piece of content please?" I groaned, running my fingers through my hair."It's not that actually." "Then what is it?" I asked with a head tilt."So

"You should have consulted me at least." I said when she told me about how she fired the nannies."What do you mean? They neglected their responsibilities and I took the best decision." Of course she was not going to understand my point."I'm not disputing that but you could have at least let me know before taking such a rash decision." I reasoned. "So when you fire people it's not a rash decision but for me it is?" She fumed. Okay this was going sideways.I sighed, "Ariana don't start. This is not about me.""Pray tell, what is it about?" Her glare was a furious one. I gulped."I'm saying you firing both of them out of nowhere is just unnecessary.""Did you even listen to what I said??" Her voice had gone up a notch."I did." I said with a single nod.She shook her head in disagreement. "No, I don't think you did. These persons neglected your kids, our kids. Not only did they disrespect my authority as one of their employers, they put my children at risk.""Our children." I correcte

I looked at the time with a clenched jaw as I walked around the room dancing around with Ava's head laying on my shoulders as she fought with sleep. It was past 9pm. I had put the boys in bed, they had school the next day and had been asking for their mom too so I made them sleep on time even when they wanted to stay awake so bad. Ariana wasn't back for whatever reason and I had called and texted her so many times since work hours were over. I was beginning to get worried until I tracked her ring and vehicle on my system and saw that she was on the move. Didn't seem like her car was hijacked or anything cause I would have been reached out to by now. Pacing the room calmly, hoping for Ava to finally fall asleep so I could take her to the nursery, I waited for Ariana, visibly enraged at her misconduct. Few minutes later, my daughter was finally asleep and I laid her in the cot in her nursery. I was just coming out of the room when I heard Ariana's footsteps. She jumped as soon as her

"Hey babe. Where are you? I need you here, there's a bit of a problem." I dropped the voicemail, trying to not sound annoyed even though I was. It was another Wednesday. Ariana was off to church and was unavailable when I needed her. Inasmuch as she seemed so happy to be free to practice her faith, the last couple of weeks had us drifting apart. We hardly spent time together. The whole issue with Cheryl was stretching longer with the authorities and though I was trying to do my best to help from behind the scenes, the case was a tough one. Cheryl had called, crying heavily and it had me destabilized even when I tried to assure her that everything was going to be alright. I paced the room for a bit, deep in thought over how to sort out the situation at hand. Out of habit, I rubbed my palm all over my face while I dialed Ariana's phone once again. It still went to voicemail. Letting out a frustrated growl, I was so close to smashing my phone when the door came open and she walked in.
