In the dark

Alexis's POV My face was spread wide apart in a smile while my finger tapped on the table as I waited for her to step in. She had given a reply so soon and one which told me she was keen on finding out what it was so I was going to carry out what I had in mind which was destabilize the family from inside. I couldn't help but think about what she might be thinking at the moment, which might be because her husband had been made the chairman, so I was going to need his help. I couldn't wait to see the whole drama unravel from her eyes, watch how fast the color will drain from her eyes. I was so sure she would trudge in with an arrogance that would spell bound the atmosphere but it would fade immediately she heard what I had to say, that her husband had a child elsewhere. I placed a hand on my chest at how sorry that felt, but she didn't deserve that either, because she had been a party to every single thing that had been happening. I might be lucky to get some news from her, what

Lost in it

Nortia's POVI knew that it was going to take everything in me to stop them from moving further but I knew as well that I had to be quick. The look on my godmother's face told me she was against it but I want some time alone to myself, without anyone beside me. Maybe if I was away, I would shed the tears that lurked in my chest and stuffed me up. “Nortia…” the disapproval settled in her tone as she called out to me. Turning my head above my shoulders to look at her, I swallowed before speaking out. “ Two hours, if I am not back before two hours then you are free to do whatever you want even if it means letting Alexis know,” I said to her, her brows relaxed when I had called his name. She knew I was trying everything not to be in the same place with him so I knew that was going to be convincing enough, to give me the time I needed before I was out. She let out a sigh before nodding, letting me go. I could see the disapproval on Genevieve's face, that she had conflicting thoughts

Ready

Alexis's POV I loved how fast the color had drained off her face, exposing so much that I was so certain she knew she didn't have in her. “What….” She stuttered. “ What do you mean?” I chided myself from showing how excited I was at her current predicament when she sat back down, now she was in the mood for talk when she would have been this way and stopped talking unend. “You didn't know about either of them?” Her claws like shape fingers clawed at the table, every tiny bit leaving tiny marks on the table. I had been nice enough to book out the entire restaurant because I didn't want the tabloid to take her pictures looking this disoriented, I didn't want her husband knowing first hand that I had met with his wife. If what I was planning came to pass then I knew that I had the upper hand in this and I was going to get this to work out for me. An ally against her husband could be useful and if she turned out to be that sort of person, it would be to my own interests. “Are yo

Broken

Nortia's POV I had lost count of the time when I was done, the sky had inked and turning to my side, I glanced through the endless cups of mocha I had chugged down, well, that was so different from what I had expected and I had actually gotten lost in the midst of it all. My eyes went to the novel which I had in my hand, the old man looked at me “ Do you feel better?” I did feel better, but the ache was still persistent, but it didn't ache like it usually would have. Giving a shy smile, I chewed on my lips before I uttered a yes at him. “ Bills are on the house today, but next time, I will definitely let you pay” “ You should, thank you for today. Can I take this along with me? I will like to see how it ends” “ You should” his face softened into a smile,urging me on. “It had me that way when I first read it and I knew you will enjoy it as well” “ I did,” I confessed, feeling so much better. My stomach growled, reminding me that I had to eat and feed the worms in there. “ I

Eggs

Alexis's POV Was love always going to be this way? I couldn't help but think as I walked away. I didn't know what Nortia was so scared about that she wanted me away at all times. She was so scared of me being around her, that it was so annoying. I had sprinted out of my office when I got the call that she had been missing. It was difficult to trace her down because she had no friends and I knew no one else that she would be with, but the bodyguard assigned to her had done his work with helping me get her location. Now, all I wanted to know was if indeed she was still unable to face me. I had nothing with me. There was nothing wrong with me that she had to stay away from that long. I understood it had been an order but the doctor had also talked about how fast she had healed and confirmed that she was better. I had thought it would be way better than what I was used to but it seemed I had made a huge mistake. Taking in a deep breath with hands on my waist, I stood at a corner, wa

Than himself

Nortia's POVFootsteps rushed out immediately I had placed a foot down from the car I was in, my eyes blank and my mind drenched with thoughts. Turning to my godmother, I accepted the hug she offered, the closest to what would feel like a mother before she searched behind me,her words muffled and mouth sealed when she saw I was alone “I was so worried, and you left without your phone” “ You know I will always be fine, I just wanted some time to myself, that's all” “ And you got a whole lot of it, how was your day? What were you up to?” Chatting amicably with her, I gave her tid and bits of what was her how much of a help the old man was and how he had closed the shop for me. “ He did that? For you?” “ Yes, it was unbelievable at first but I had to go along with it, I couldn't quite place my hands on why he did that but maybe he had a reason for doing so”“ Because you said you wanted to get lost, how about we compensate him for what he did?”“ I would have loved that, but I do

His wife

Alexis's POV A sleepless night and I was back at the office, overlooking files and documents which had piled up when I was busy, so I had no other choice than to tend to them, and it had to be today. The word from my father came to my mind once more, where he had repeated that Nortia loved me. It was difficult for me to believe that and also, a part of me was hoping it would be true, maybe it was because I was tired of being treated the way I was or rather I was happy to settle for the crumb which I would get and I really hope it won't be the later. A yawn escaped my mouth, my stomach growled as well, my eyes went to the bottle of wine which stood so sexily on top of the table, as I tried to fight the urge to cork it open and chug it down my throat. It was some decent wine, father had made the right choice about wanting to get the vineyard and I had given my assent immediately. A quick party will be thrown later to show it off to his little friends, who will be thrilled to have

saving his wife company

Alexis's POV It was a caught alright and I might have been stupid enough not to read the room and know that she would never betray her husband. Well, I was going to learn the hard way. “ Well, well…” he had tucked up quite well, dressed in a sea green suit, hair permed and a smile lining his lips. “ You know I was shocked when my wife told me everything, just like women would always act, she came off crying and angry and she was enraged at the fact that I had betrayed her, but you know how fickle they turn out to be most times, all you have to do is talk and they will be calm, so I did that” “ You talked?”“ No, I explained, told her that everything was made up and it had nothing to do with me, i showed her the file that you never saw, the one that had her and Samantha as the heir to the company, and she relaxed immediately”“ A fake?” “ How is she going to know? She is as dense as anyone can imagine and I have done my dues by her so she would have known. You know, I have always

Her husband

Nortia's POVWas I the one who had insisted on not taking a step out of the house? Yes, but was I jealous now that I was watching my house talking and frolicking with other girls or rather women? Yes. With the pack of popcorn leaning by my side, I had lost count of the numbers I had thrown in, or the packs I had eaten by the time the wine was finally popped open, my face peered at them. I had sauntered over, grasping my phone so tight just so I could tell my husband, sorry Alexis that I didn't like him with that lady but I had decided against it at second thought, we weren't on such a good term and beside, I had told him to go away which he had did, respecting my wishes like the perfect gentleman he was. Why couldn't he just try not to do so? Why was it that he hadn't been obstinate? And had just gone alongside it? Why couldn't he insist and demand that I am his wife and we had to settle it? I was left all alone now, Genevieve had left earlier on, after he had demanded that she sh

Confession

Alexis's POV The force with which I was pushed back was so intense that it had me trying to get a grasp of my surroundings which felt so odd to me all of a sudden. Gazing around, the voices, shrieks and screams filled the air as I tried to stare around, taking in every single thing that had just happened. It had been so sudden and if I hadn't decided to step back to take something, the realization that I would have been blown into pieces jabbed me so hard that all I wanted to do was retch. “ Boss” Gerald's voice came through, grasping me to himself, and another scream which I knew was Genevieve came out so strong that all I could find myself doing was shaking my head for her not to come close. The public was distracted all right, all lenses were focused on me but I knew the press would be around, lurking and searching for something to threaten us with, anything to get money out of us for and Genevieve wasn't going to be it. I watched as a hand held her back from rushing toward m
