Chapter 81: Different shades of Oliver

The choice of where to take Nina was an obvious one. She had called me, and even though Oliver had stepped in to save the day, I had to keep them with me. Oliver follows behind us in his car to make sure Nina is okay. We arrived home, and I took them all in. "Mommy!" Ocean called happily as he raced down the stairs to meet me. I bent and took him into my arms. "Oh, baby, how are you?" "Fine!" He smiled, and just then, I realised I hadn't pick up the transformer toy I got him from the office before I left. I took nothing from the office except my phone because I was in a hurry. His eyes moved to Nina and Talia, and then Oliver and Jesse." "People are plenty, mommy." I laughed and nodded. "We have guests; we will have them for a while." "Okay," Ocean said. Monique came and took Ocean away so she could have him bathed for the night, and he followed her. "We'll be out of your hair as soon as I get back on my feet," Nina promised as we climbed the stairs that led to the bedroom tog

Chapter 82: Clarity

He broke the kiss and placed his forehead against mine. "Ela," his breath fanned over my face, causing weakening shivers through me."Olly," I called, and my hand stroked his face.His hand came to touch mine, and he pulled back. "I'm sorry; I shouldn't have done that." He began rubbing his thumb over my hand.I scoffed, "You're sorry for kissing me?" I demanded in frustration. "What is this?" "I do not understand."My teeth gritted, and in anger, I beheld the hot man who just awakened desires deep within me—desires he wasn't ready to satisfy. "A month ago, you asked me out on a date; I shouldn't have agreed to it, but I did because I thought, why not? I don't know what I did that made you distance yourself from me, and now you're apologising for kissing me. It's like you want me but don't at the same time.""I want you.""That's not what I've felt in the past few weeks." I stepped away from him.He shut the door and followed behind, "What you have felt has been me trying to be a gen

Chapter 83: Two reasons

After dinner, I had to take my leave. I first hugged my adorable son, Ocean and told him to take care of his mother. He nodded and made me a genuine promise. Then I hugged Nina and told her I would be in touch. Ela walked me towards my car in silence. "Do you think she will leave him?" She broke the silence. "She left with her bags; I believe that already answered the question. I hope she leaves him and takes everything he ever owned with her." I answered. He didn't deserve to have a penny in his name after everything he had done to Nina. She deserves it all for what he put her through. Yes, even after everything, she harboured a soft spot for Eddie, but Nina rarely changed her mind once she made a decision. After a brief pause, Ela spoke. "The news about Eddie will be on every channel." "Good, I look forward to seeing his new 'fistically' rearrange face," I replied, genuinely looking forward to the bastard's new look. All cowards deserved to have the scar of shame. She laughed w

Chapter 84: Entanglement

Cecil sat on the bed in a red sundress and white hat with her head bowed and unmoved as if she didn't hear a word I said.A lot happened tonight; I didn't want to add her unwelcome presence to the list. I hadn't seen her since I learnt the truth about her wickedness and schemes, and I didn't care. I didn't want anything to do with her, and that was the truth. After what she had done, I didn't want to be in the same breathing space as her. I feared I might lose it.I had sent her out of our house after the truth came out, but I couldn't return. The thought of stepping back there was revolting, and I knew it would only spike my rage, so I put it on sale the following week. I stayed at my family's penthouse across the city. I could begin carrying on from here. After two weeks of being on the market, I sold the house and, with it, every memory of Cecil and me.I took a step forward. "I asked you a question, and how did you get in?""That was Imela, wasn't it?" She inquired, raising her he

Chapter 85: To friends

I entered the living room dressed in a black three-piece suit and blue tie on a white collared long sleeve, ready for work. These were the new clothes Jayden brought over when I told him I would leave work from here yesterday. We were the same height and size, so I knew the clothes would fit perfectly even before wearing them. "You're not going to work?" I asked as I stepped out of the bedroom, and I found Jayden standing in his living room in white shorts and a black tank top. He had a bottle of wine in his hand, which was too early for the morning. He also looked angrier than last night when I came in. I had already been through enough yesterday, and I didn't bother asking what was wrong then. Seeing that the anger still held him tight even this morning sparked my concern. "Is there a fucking point?" He hissed out in irritation, "My lawyer called. My case has been taken to court trial, and I'm looking at prison time!" He gulped the whisky and threw the glass in anger. It smashed i

Chapter 86: Now and always

Jayden sent documents for the handover, and just as I proposed, I signed the papers and made payment from the enterprise's reserve. After he received them, he called and thanked me for my help, and I told him to keep his head up no matter what happened. He told me he would announce the handover to the White Estate's board members today via Zoom to get them up to speed. The news of Eddie's condition was all over the TV, with speculation that he was rubbed and others saying he was attacked by rival designers who played dirty. Only one source made a little sense, reporting that he might have gotten into trouble, and this source received backlash from the viewers who described Eddie as an angel who couldn't harm a fly. I knew they had no idea what type of man he was and shouldn't even be speaking. Just as Jayden predicted, as the afternoon came, the news of his arrest and set trial broke all over news-carrying channels. He was accused of drug trafficking and was looking at not less than

Chapter 87: Concern and intelligence

Everything went on quietly for the next four days. Jayden’s case moved to court, and the trial began last week with the witness set to testify against him. Jayden kept his head up through it, and the announcement that Plane Enterprise would acquire his company became even bigger news than his trial. While some called it a cheap trick to save the company, others thought it was noble. When asked, I told the press I was doing what I thought was right for a loyal friend. When asked my opinion about him and the trial, I was honest. Jayden was innocent; they were sending the wrong man to jail, and that was messed up. The six troublemakers, including Vivian, who was out of the country, kept close contact with each other. Jayden was certain they would send us in to testify in court regarding his trial. I picked up my phone with Max as the caller ID and said, “What a surprise, Max; this must be special.” I said, laughing. Max was the last person I expected to get a call from because, out of

Chapter 88: Hate and love

Imela's POVI finished the last piece of the file before me with a heavily beating heart, and I shut the file and cleared my desk. I grabbed my bag and rose to my feet, done for the rest of the day. There was only one thing on my mind: the birthday party Oliver was throwing me tonight. He kept me up last night with his sweet talks. I couldn't tell him his voice had turned me on; his voice had done that to me many times in the past week. He had promised me my present on my birthday, and so I took solace in that, counting down to the days that would lead to us being alone.When it was midnight, he wished me a happy birthday and told me to go to bed. It was a command, and my body followed immediately because I was asleep within minutes.This morning, he called while I was getting ready for work to wish me a happy birthday again and remind me of the day ahead. Good thing it was Friday. Marcel wished me a happy birthday and gave me a gold bracelet, and Ocean gave me a box of chocolate. The

Chapter 89: Permission to love

We arrived at the event venue, the Yellow Flur. The name sounded familiar, and when I asked Max, he told me it belonged to Sir Lockwood, Oliver's friend. Nina found her way into the crowd to mingle with those she knew while holding onto Ocean. The hall wasn't massive, but it provided a sense of luxury and comfort. It was also appealing; the musical band played at the back while the people acquainted and conversed with each other. Almost everyone I knew and cared about except for Marcel was here, and I meant everyone. Then, I remembered that Oliver had worked closely with Ingrid to bring about the success of the day. So, though Oliver didn't know many of those here, Ingrid did and invited them. The first face I saw was Fermín holding onto Ocean with one hand and a glass of wine in his other hand. For a second, I believed I was hallucinating his presence, but Ocean was wearing the same outfit we left home in, and it couldn't be a dream. It was real; Fermín was here. I stood stunned a

Chapter 90: Love reminder

“Oliver, hey!” I called with a beaming smile. “Hello, Ela!” He smiled back, and his eyes took a moment to take me in from head down. He looked satisfied with what he saw, which showed in his blue eyes. “Happy birthday; you look amazing.” “Thank you, and thank you. The dress is perfect. Just like everything you’ve put together for the night.” I gushed, unable to help. “I saw Fermín. You didn’t have to.” I couldn’t imagine how awkward it must have been for him and Fermín. Both men have displayed a high level of maturity to make today perfect. His smile deepened. “Anything to make you as happy as you look now is the right thing to do.” “That’s so sweet; that’s the sweetest thing you’ve ever done.” His smile narrowed. “And you’re the sweetest thing ever.” I didn’t have a word to say in response, but I wanted to kiss him, so I drew closer when he spoke. “I can’t.” I pulled back with a confused look, but I didn’t get to speak because he continued, “If I kissed you now, I wouldn’t want
