Through The Gate Of Love/Rofeeah
Gage’s words hung in the air, filled with appreciation and admiration.“Gage…” Kaylie whispered, her eyes wide with shock as she met his gaze. Her mind was a jumble of emotions—surprise, wonder, and a dash of confusion. She hadn’t expected him to show up, and that he had made her thoughts swirl with possibilities. What was he doing? What lay behind this charming display of affection? Was this just a show, or was there something more to it?Gage’s eyes sparkled, his smile growing wider as he waved at her. “Come closer,” he said softly. Kaylie’s mind was still reeling, but her body seemed to move of its own accord. Her gaze dropped, and she took slow steps toward him, her heart pounding. When she finally stood before him, his gaze roamed over her face, drinking in every detail.“She’s the first and only person to ever accept me for who I am,” he said. “She’s the first whose presence makes a significant difference in my life. For this reason, she’s irreplaceable, and for many reasons,

She poured and he drank until the liter bottle was empty. She shook it, announcing, “that's it!”She set it down on the table with a thud and asked, “Should I grab another?” He raised an eyebrow. “Still asking? I thought we were making the most of this moment. What's changed? Are you getting tired?”She smiled brightly. “Of course not,” she replied, glancing to her right and waving until a server noticed her. She held up the empty bottle, signaling for another wine. The server arrived, pushing a wine cart. He opened a fresh bottle and placed it on the table before curtsying and departing. Kaylie batted her eyelashes at Gage. “A new one has arrived,” she announced, lifting the bottle and refilling his glass. “Carry on.”He lifted the glass, a faint smile creeping onto his face as he brought it to his lips. “The taste just keeps getting better.” He said. “Is smiling a sin?” She asked, and he glanced at her, his expression puzzled. “Yes,” she confirmed with a shrug, not letting him

“What’s the difference between here and the atrium?” Kaylie threw a question from behind, slowly taking her steps as she entered the atrium, lightly holding a glass of wine in her right hand.Gage glanced backward at her, and without saying a word, he escorted her with his eyes until she arrived before him.“You were angry because the host and your father lavished praise on Bryson, and left the hall all because you didn’t want to hear Bryson’s voice,” she let out, staring into his eyes. “Now, tell me. The hall is just a few steps away from here. Isn’t his voice reaching here?”“It does,” he answered in simplicity. He averted his gaze from her, staring at his front. “But I did the least I could. I can’t help hearing his voice since you insist I should say, but I’m not seeing his face,”“That’s the hardest to bear.”She shrugged, exhaling softly. She wore a smile and slightly bent her neck. “Anyway, thanks,” she appreciated.He gazed at her, and knowing what he would say, she instantly e

“Didn't I just say until we get home?” She said.He licked his lips and nodded. “Okay. Agreed,” He lengthened his hand, requesting, “can I have the wine, please?”“Yes. Of course.” She handed her the wine.He sipped it and stared at her from head to toe.“What's wrong?” She asked, but he said nothing. She checked herself to see if there was something on her body, but there was nothing, so she asked again. “What are you looking at?”He took his eyes off her. “Nothing,” he said. “Just want to say you look beautiful. I love how the dress looks on you.”“Finally. You admit it.” She said with the transparency of excitement.“Let's forget about it,” he let out. He stared away from her and sipped the wine again. “I just feel the need to say what's on my mind. Nothing more.”She nodded twice. “Okay.”“When is your birthday?” He asked.“Soon. next month. On the thirteen,” she responded instantly, as if she'd been waiting years for him to ask. “But why do you ask?”“Never mind,” he said, taking

Kaylie entered the house in a slow stride, a look of concern etched on her face, and as she arrived in front of the room, Richard came out.He bent his neck. “Welcome, ma.” He greeted.Kaylie was too worried to respond to his greeting. Instead, she let out her worry. “How's he?” She asked. “Is he sleeping?”He nodded. “Yes,” he responded, and Kaylie instantly walked past him, but he stopped her. “He’s asked to be alone, and I think we should respect his wishes and let him have some quiet time.”Kaylie scoffed. “I appreciate your concern, but I think I can handle this. As his wife, let me take care of this.” She made a point and took another step forward, and as she laid her hand on the lever, his words stopped her again.“He said it was because of you.”She slowly turned around, her face furrowed, confused, and as her eyes landed on him, she asked, “What are you talking about?”Richard sighed. “I don't have all the details, but from what he told me, it sounds like he's really passionat

-Later in the evening-Kaylie entered the room with a plate of food cradled delicately in her hands as if it were a fragile treasure that might shatter at any moment. She approached the couch with measured steps and set the plate down on the table with precision.“What’s that?” Gage asked, taking his eyes off the book in his hand to look at her.“Your food. I doubt you’ve had anything since morning, so I prepared instant noodles,” she explained, beaming. “Wish I knew your favorite meal without asking. I would have surprised you with that.”“Isn’t preparing a bowl of noodles classified as babysitting?” He queried and before she could utter a word, he put the down beside him, adding, “my favorite meal is pounded yam with egusi, preferably with goat meat, but if not available, ponmo can take its place.”Kaylie scoffed, staring downward, but said nothing.“Mock me right to my face. You don’t need to hide it,” he said. He lifted his back from the bed header and shifted to the bed edge, befo

-The next day-As Sadie stepped out of her room, her eyes met Kaylie's, who was emerging from the kitchen. Sadie rushed over, grasping Kaylie's arms. “Good morning, dear,” she exclaimed, her face radiant with a warm smile. “You left the event yesterday informing no one, and we got back late last night, so I couldn’t speak with you. How was your night?”Kaylie nodded sympathetically. “I was still awake when you got back, ma, but couldn’t come out because Gage was still wide awake,” she explained. “He's still upset that I took Bryson’s side at the event yesterday, so I was doing my best to apologize and make amends.”“I completely understand your approach, and I must say, I’m impressed,” Sadie praised. “You're navigating this situation skillfully, knowing exactly when to take a step back. If you had openly supported Gage yesterday, the chairman would likely have turned on Bryson,”Sadie leaned in, her voice barely above a whisper. “He might even reconsider transferring Gage's share to Br

“Ta-da, I'm ready!” Kaylie announced, striking a pose with her arms stretched out to the sides and a bright smile.Gage turned around, and his eyes widened in awe as he took in her transformed appearance. “This is... wow,” he stuttered, struggling to find the words to express his admiration.Kaylie had already dressed up, but Gage had asked her to change into something else because the original dress had been a gift from Bryson, and Gage wanted her to wear the one he had given her instead.“You like this?” She asked, still smiling.Gage slowly shook her head. “No…” he gave a simple response. A smile appeared on his face and he raised his voice, confessing, “I love it!”He swiftly steered to her front, gently taking her hand and turning her around to look at her backside as well. He gazed into her eyes, his face radiant with admiration. “You look stunning,” he complimented, his voice filled with sincerity. “We should get more dresses in this style. It suits you perfectly.”“Thank you.”

Kaylie slowly opened her eyes, lifting her head from the bed. She turned her head, catching Gage staring at her with a subtle smile. “What are you staring at?” she mumbled, her brow furrowed in a mixture of sleepiness and curiosity. She brushed her hand over her face, yawning, and crawled backward, resting her back against the bed header, her eyes never leaving Gage’s gentle smile.“Gage,” she whispered his name, but despite his gaze on her, he didn't respond, and his expression was unreadable. Her face scrunched up in concern as she observed him for a few seconds, wondering what was going through his mind. When he still didn't react, she raised her voice slightly, calling out to him again. “Gage.”Gage flinched. “Hun!” A tone fled his mouth. His eyes broadened, shocked. He was miles away, lost in thought, and her raised voice caught him unaware, leaving him stunned.She paused for a moment, allowing him to compose himself, before asking, “What are you thinking?”He stared downward a

Kaylie trudged into the room. As she reached the bed, she fell her bottom onto it with a soft sigh. “Oh, my,” she muttered. “Listening to that woman drone on about what I’m not doing is exhausting,”Her gaze drifted to Gage, who had only looked up from his phone when she entered. She shook her head, frustration etching on her face. “My mind was racing with anger. It’s a waste of my time.”Gage dimmed his phone screen and shrugged his left shoulder, his expression empathetic. “Sorry you had to go through that,” he said, his voice infused with understanding. A warm smile crept onto his lips as he tried to reassure her. “Don’t worry, it’ll all be over soon. It’s just a matter of time, right?”She nodded, her voice barely above a whisper. “Yes.” She lifted her left hand, revealing a small pill vial. “Here.”His brow furrowed in curiosity. "What's that?" he asked.“Something Sadie gave me,” she replied flatly. “A sleeping pill she wants me to feed you tomorrow morning so you’ll be out unti
