Chapter Twenty nine ~ Ariana

"That's your final decision?" He asked calmly. His tone was so calm, it sent chills down my spine. This was definitely the calm before the storm, I was so sure of it. "Yes." I said, trying to steady my already shaky voice. He gave me a hurt-filled glance before regaining his rigid composure, "I was right from the onset. This was always going to cause a rift between us." He unlocked the door and walked past me in swift strides. "You can go," he said before leaving me standing in the middle of the room, thinking of what I had just done. I dropped on my knees again and for the lack of tears just stared into space. What was going to happen now? Was he going to leave? Was he going to not talk to me for the rest of our lives? The anxiety bit at the crevices of my mind as I sat on the ground, not having the strength to move from that spot and not bothering to go out anymore cause there was no need at this point. The day had been ruined. The night was no different. All I heard was deep, se

Chapter Thirty ~ Damien

Meant To Be HIS /Ese Gwede

"I miss mommy. When is she coming back?" Damon had asked me for the umpteenth time this week. This was why I hated being at home. The questions never ended. Over and over again, they asked about Ariana and all I could do was promise them that they would see her soon while they Facetimed her with every chance they got with their grandmother. I didn't see her at work. We avoided each other, I suppose. If I kept seeing her, I would be forced to run back into the warmth of her arms. She had made her choice and I was letting her do her thing. Choosing to separate from her was not an impulsive decision, I spent a lot of time thinking about it and I figured it was best that I did not make her feel trapped. Struggling to pack up Ava's curls, my mind strayed over to how I used to see Ariana do it and I missed her even more. I shook my head vigorously. No, I was not going to let her get to me. I could do this. My phone rang, jolting me out of my thoughts, thankfully so. It was Amy. I groaned

Chapter Thirty one ~ Ariana

Meant To Be HIS /Ese Gwede

I was laughing. I hadn't laughed so much in few weeks as I had done today. Having children were such a joy despite how stressful it could be to have them around. Damon was quite the storyteller and he explained the littlest of things with the most exaggerated expressions. Darian on the other hand was marveled by Leni. He hadn't left her side since Cheryl brought her in. Was my boy having a crush so early? He better not. Ava was standing now, with the help of the table, she was able to move around. She crawled to me in the kitchen several times and my heart melted every time I saw her toothy smile. Sonia was quite fun to speak to and she was a Christian too. I was glad cause I wanted my children to be raised right, especially now that I wouldn't be around as much as I wanted to. I took that fact with a pinch of salt whenever it came to mind. "He did that?" I asked her when she told me what Damon had done the first time he saw her. "He literally screamed 'I don't want another mommy,

Chapter Thirty two ~ Ariana

Meant To Be HIS /Ese Gwede

The weekend the kids left was not an easy one. The loneliness left me in tears and misery. I wanted to hear all the noise in the apartment that now echoed whenever I made a sound. Why did this have to be so hard? They didn't want to leave, I saw it in the way they cried and begged to stay with me. Damien wasn't there, thankfully. It would have made it worse. He only sent a driver because he was away on a trip to wherever. I wanted him to at least let them stay with me since he was out of town but he went ahead to remind me of the terms of our contract. How harsh could he be? The contract. I read my copy again and again. He sent it after he had it stamped and recognized legally. Receiving the courier in my office was not a very pleasant experience but it came anyway and that night when I brought it home with me, I cried myself to sleep with it on my chest. We were supposed to be apart for a few months before deciding if were going to stay this way, get back together or just get a div

Chapter Thirty three ~ Damien

Meant To Be HIS /Ese Gwede

I wanted to tell her I loved her before I drove off. But then when I thought of my actions of recent, I decided that it would sound like a lie to her ears. I replayed our conversation in my mind every now and then. She said she would leave if I cheated and I promised I would tell her if I ever did something stupid. What that meant was that I was going to be the cause of my own undoing. If there was anything I feared, it was the thought of losing Ariana. It scared me more than the thought of losing my own life. At least if I died she would have a more peaceful life despite how heartbroken she would be. Why did this have to be so hard? ~~~ How a couple of weeks rolled into a couple of months, I would never understand. It all happened so fast. The kids had adjusted to spending two weeks in the mansion and the other two in Ariana's apartment. When they came home, I would hear them pray with her over FaceTime. Sometimes they prayed on their own before bed. I didn't stop them. They wer

Chapter Thirty four ~ Ariana

Meant To Be HIS /Ese Gwede

"Hey guys!" Cheryl said as she walked in while we were unpacking. "Boys say hi-" I was saying. They already ran into her arms before I could even complete my sentence. Sometimes I wondered if they loved her because she was nice or because she's Leni's mom. "You look good. The hair cut suits you." She complimented me. I grinned, "Thanks. Damien said the same thing." "Oh he's complimenting you now?" She sounded surprised but I could understand. "I was as shocked as you are." I said, biting back a smile as I remembered our little moment. "I can bet on my last penny that there's more and you're gonna tell me about it." She was already eager for me to spill. "There's nothing to tell." I denied. "Ariana you're blushing." She pointed out. "Am I?" "Yes!" "I don't know what you're talking about." I denied quickly and rushed inside before she could make me spill. Even as I went about my routine chores, I could not stop thinking about our kiss. I felt like a teenager again for just k

Chapter Thirty five ~ Narrator's voice

Meant To Be HIS /Ese Gwede

While they battled for a sense of clarity, plots were hatched behind their backs to ruin a lot more than their union. To bring down and take everything that had taken years of hard work to build. Claire was utterly frustrated with how things were going with this man. She had tried in a lot of ways to win him over but he kept proving to be difficult. Who would have thought that the speculated billionaire playboy would be such a responsible married man who would not want to do anything to jeopardize his union and image no matter how much she tried to seduce him. She thought she had succeeded when she managed to get into his head after her mini birthday party that night. Damien had opened up to her a little after she had 'concernedly' probed him for whatever had him in such a sour mood. Of course it was his wife. Ariana did not know the value of what she had, she had thought when singlehandedly convinced him to file for a separation, getting into his head with her words as he told her

Chapter Thirty six ~ Ariana

Meant To Be HIS /Ese Gwede

It was the day of Ava's party. I was running all over the place to make sure everything was well put together. The planner had done a great job but the perfectionist in me just did not want to sit back and relax. We were expecting few guests although we had to take it from an indoor party to setting up a tent and using the lawn in the backyard for the celebrations because the decorations were a little over the top. It was pink everywhere! That morning I was awake at 12am, praying for my baby girl. At this time, a year before, on a beautiful day in July, I was about to bring such a beauty into this world, anxious about what her gender was going to be. I wanted a girl so bad but I was so nervous about finding out so I decided against having a gender reveal and just waited till when I gave birth to see for myself. God came through and I finally had someone that looked like me after being cheated by Damien in the gene pool for so long. "What a blessing," I sighed after plastering her ch

Chapter Thirty seven ~ Ariana

Meant To Be HIS /Ese Gwede

There was brewing chaos that morning. It had been a few days since Damien and I saw each other but we spoke over the phone all the time. A much needed improvement in our relationship was well on its way but there was a sinking feeling in my heart for no reason that day. I planned to go meet him up in his office at lunch hopefully after the board meeting his assistant told me about was over. Drew, his assistant had a pensive look when he came to my office hours before lunchtime to break the news to me. "He what?!!" I screamed. I rushed downstairs to see that there was an ambulance waiting there and Damien was being carried in. "What happened?!" I yelled my way through the small crowd that had gathered outside. "Who are you ma'am?" "I'm his wife." I shoved my phone in his face and showed him my wallpaper. "You can get in." He said. I hopped into the van and sat close to Damien's lifeless form laid on the stretcher. He was out cold. "Oh Jesus please help me," The drive to the

Chapter Thirty eight ~ Ariana

It was early the next morning. I had hardly slept a wink that night, worrying about the outcome of the procedure in between prayers and filling myself with hope from words of the bible.I was half asleep on the couch in Damien's hospital room with Fiona's head on my thighs when a nurse came in and called me to the doctor's office. I was sure Mom and the others were on the way so a part of me wanted them to be here before going to hear the update, at least for moral support. I let the nurse know this.She nodded, "I understand ma'am. I'd let the doctor know.""Thank you."Pacing the room while I read the text from Aiden and another from Jesse, they were close to the hospital. That was a relief, though momentary. In a matter of minutes, they were here and we made the fearful walk down to the doctor's office.Getting there, we briefly exchanged pleasantries with the doctor and I got seated while the men stood behind me. "So doctor, how was it?" Jesse asked when I was reluctant to form t
