CHAPTER THIRTY ONE

STEPHANIE I heard Edward return and waited patiently in my room until it was quite late, so I could meet him in the room and tell him about the plans to demolish my town.When I entered, I saw him by the lounge area on a call. It seemed like a business call, so I sat quietly on the bed until he finished. As soon as he noticed me, he wrapped up the call and slipped the phone into his pocket, facing the open French window with his back to me.I got up and walked over to him. I didn't want to start with anything awkward like, how's your day? How's work? So I said, “I got a call from my mom today, and she told me that she, along with everyone else in Old Musty, received an eviction notice from Dan Realty.”I studied him and he didn't move a muscle. “Is that true?”“You should believe your mother more, don't you?” he didn't turn.“But why?” I asked, moving closer to him. “Those people at Old Musty struggled to build their home. My Dad struggled to build that house when I was a child” “Tha

CHAPTER THIRTY TWO

STEPHANIE I left Edwards' room and went back to mine. There was no way I was going to share a bed with someone who had insulted me and my family. I was so upset that I couldn't even put it into words. Usually, only my Mom could comfort me, but I decided not to stress her and rang Olivia, and she answered straight away, immediately noticing how upset I was.“Girl, what's wrong?” She asked immediately.I needed to tell someone so I could feel better. So I told her about the redevelopment and Edward's offer.“Tell me you're taking it?” she asked.“How could I? Those people suffered to build those houses” “He offered your family a new house, a compensation f*e and you five per cent of every profit made in Old Musty. Girl, are you out of your mind?”“Money can't buy me”, I said, feeling slightly offended by her words. “It better do it because that's you being rich and independent. No more hustle”“That's not the point of me telling you this, Olivia” I needed her to tell me I was right,

CHAPTER THIRTY THREE

STEPHANIE It wasn't long before everyone in Old Musty agreed to relocate. Edward kept his word and secured a house for my parents in my dad's name in a city area I could never have imagined living in, not even in another lifetime.My dad was under the care of a renowned doctor and was getting stronger. They were getting him ready for the heart transplant.I couldn't hide my happiness, but I kept it to myself. I didn't see much of Edward. He was always busy, coming home late when I was already asleep and leaving early in the morning. I liked the distance between us. It made the time fly by, bringing me closer to going back home with my family.I had just tucked Anna in and wished Rose and Emma goodnight when my phone rang—it was Aisha. I answered and was immediately met with a rhythm in the background.“Hii Stephanie” I heard her voice piped up. “We are having a party and your husband whom I asked to bring you along came alone” “Oh, I told him I was busy”, I lied. I was getting used

CHAPTER THIRTY FOUR

STEPHANIE I could taste the alcohol lingering on his tongue as Edward swiftly pressed his tongue into my mouth, wasting no time at all. He kissed me with an intense hunger that had been simmering beneath the surface, and I eagerly responded, having been teased by his flirtations since the wedding. His hands found their way to my waist, and I instinctively wrapped my arms around his neck, pulling him closer. He eventually pulled back, his hazel eyes locking onto mine with an intensity that made my heart race. At that moment, my body felt warm and alive, wanting his touch more than ever.I didn't want him to stop this time. I wanted his hands all over my body. He stared at me as if he had come to a realization but the words in his mouth proved otherwise. “You belong to me Stephanie” His voice came out raspy, sending lightning down my entire body. “You're mine” I loved how he took control of me. In this moment, I want to be his, yearning for his lips to meet mine again. Unable to hol

CHAPTER THIRTY FIVE

STEPHANIE I awoke in a serene room, feeling happier than usual as memories of Edward's touch lingered in my mind. I turned over in bed to find it empty. It wasn't a workday, so where could he be? As if sensing my thoughts, he walked in through the front door, sweaty and dressed in gym clothes. He must have been at the gym downstairs. "Good morning," I said, but he didn't respond, just removed his shoes. His eyes held nothing but the usual frown. Perhaps he didn't hear me. "Did you have a good night?”“You don't have to begin acting all strange because of what happened last night,” he said, eyes on his work.“Pardon?” I was confused.“Nothing happened between us. I was drunk and not in my senses. I would have never stooped so low with you” I couldn't believe my ears, just staring at him, pain building up in my stomach.“You were as drunk as I was and we both misbehaved.” He stood before me “So don't go around feeling whatever you're feeling.” He turned around “I'll add it to your p

CHAPTER THIRTY SIX

EDWARD Having Stephanie around brought a little bit of change. We usually don't have dinner together, but now we do, especially on weekends. I sometimes miss it when I work late, but her cooking has been drawing me home early. But today I'm avoiding going home to face her, as the guilt I've been trying to keep at bay is starting to surface.My father acknowledged my efforts and signed the will to me. I have gotten what I wanted but I wasn't as happy as I thought I would be.I met with Ryan after work because I've been bothered about Stephanie. For the past few days, she seemed like a ghost. Didn't talk much. At work, she stays behind her desk till it is time to go. She doesn't look up at me and I didn't bother to give her anything to do. She sleeps on her side of the bed but doesn't say anything like before, her back turned to me. Every day as early, she returns to her room before I even wake up. I realised she was upset with me for not admitting my feelings for her, but I had no c

CHAPTER THIRTY SEVEN

EDWARD It was another weekend, and I arrived home early to be greeted by a table filled with different delicacies. Stephanie had been cooking with Martine again. Emma invited me to sit and I did, wondering where Stephanie was because she was the only one missing from the table. I was about to ask after her when she walked out with a plate of blanched vegetables; she placed it before Anna, playfully pinching her nose. “Eat your vegetables if you want some ice cream tomorrow night”, she said gently, and Anna laughed while picking up a stick of carrot to eat. Anna didn't like to eat her vegetables unless forced to. I was impressed, Anna didn't even hesitate to begin. Stephanie sat beside me and everyone dug in. I wasn't a food person, but lately, I craved her meals as if it was some medication I could not miss. It reminded me again of my mother's meal. “How's work today?” My Grandmother asked me.“Great. I mostly worked with Dad today,” I replied, not wanting to miss the taste of th

CHAPTER THIRTY EIGHT

STEPHANIE I was confused did Edward drink before coming home because I knew that on a normal day he wouldn't open his mouth to apologize to me. These words were the sweetest thing he had ever said to me. The confused look on his face showed that he wasn't pleased with my question. I tried to push his hand away and he let me. I turned around and faced him properly. “The last time you tried to care about me, next morning you said I wasn't your type” I didn't know why I was this calm, perhaps it was because of the curls from his wet hair, his eyes intently planted on me and those hands holding me. Or because he said the words I've never heard before. “You might wake up tomorrow and say you regret apologizing to me” “I promise you I won't” That husky voice pierced through my ears and it seemed as if he was a totally different person. Did his grandmother ask him to apologize or what? I shouldn't trust him immediately. “There's no need to apologize. This is all going to be over and I'

CHAPTER THIRTY NINE

STEPHANIE I stood in front of my mirror staring at my reflection. Edwards words from last night came flowing into my mind. ‘For some reason I don't understand but I want more’‘I promise I won't change tomorrow. You can hold this message against me if I do’I touched my neck, then my breasts, squeezing the latter. The blue in my eyes had a sudden spark in them and I wondered if it was because of the feeling I had that Edward had changed. My hair looked straight, dry and needed a proper brushing so I decided to take a shower before going downstairs. I stepped into the shower letting the warm water rain on me. As I brushed my hair with my fingers, all that was going through my mind was Edward. What would it feel like to have him in a bath with me, his naked frame before me. The water falling off his rib sheen skin. His hair curly and those brown eyes staring deep into my soul. I touched my body remembering his touch from last night and I felt a heat wave rush down my body. I open

CHAPTER FORTY

STEPHENIE That Sunday was the best I ever had in Edward's house. We spent the entire afternoon together until Aisha's message came in. ‘I’m having a girls night out. Well, it wasn't planned, but can you come out tonight?”I was holding Anna in my arms, she was asleep, so I took her up to her room and decided to go but bring Olivia along. I texted Aisha and she quickly agreed. I went to my room and the staff hadn't moved my things out yet, so I dressed up. I wore a skimpy white dress, applied lots of makeup and finished the look with a gold high sandal heel. I didn't bother telling Edward, I didn't even know where he was, but I told Emma that Aisha invited me to a party. I went to the ground floor and used my new car. I'd never had a car in my entire life, so I was excited. I drove to Olivia's house and honked loudly before alighting. Not long I saw her open her window curtains, closing them back before coming out. She was dressed for the party. “Girl, you are making alot of noise
