My eyes are heavy as I try to force them to open fully. I stirred my body on the bed and stretched out my muscles, it has been ages since I have slept so peacefully. But last night was different, I can’t remember vividly what happened but it was a good one. I manage to sit up and yawn loudly, raising my hands and dropping them on the bed. I freeze when I feel the warmth by my side, someone was here with me and from the looks of it, whoever it was must have left early.Then all of a sudden, my memories with the lady from the club flood in. From when she walked into the club with her friend to when I approached her and we started a conversation, then to when I asked her to dance with me and then finally when I asked her to sleep with me and she agreed!It was one of the most memorable moments in my life. She was sweet and passionate and our love making was something I’ve never experienced with any woman at all. Where are you, Sydney?“Sydney…” I call her name softly. I enter the bathro
**Unknown**I relax on the couch as I watch the recently published news about Spencer. I watch the television intently, seeing as he talks about his leave from the city and his subsequent return. I blow my smoke as a hard grin crafts at the side of my lips. What a pleasant surprise to see Spencer in the city and with the revelation that he is the CEO of Spencer group, I am satisfied with the turnout of events. This proves that I can start again on my journey to ruin the man that destroyed me in the first place. Tessa enters the living room and stands by my side. After watching the news for a few minutes, she picks up the remote and switches off the television. She turns to stare at me for some time, then stamps her feet angrily on the ground.“Well, are you not going to say anything?” She asked with a plastered scowl on her face.“Say what exactly?” I asked back, knowing exactly what she wanted to hear.“So you are just going to sit back and watch the news as if it’s not raising the
** Sydney **“I can’t believe that I slept with him!” I exclaimed with a loud voice.Lydia groaned and shook her head. “It is not a big deal, Syd. It’s not like Aiden is going to know if you slept with someone else or not, he probably won’t even care if you did. Just let it go,” she said.“Not a big deal? Lydia, I can’t believe that this is coming from you!” I exhaled in frustration.I stood up and paced around the bedroom with my hands on my waist. I am feeling guilty about it and my mind is not at rest. How can I sleep with a random guy who I just met in less than twenty four hours? I am still married for goodness sake!What if Aiden finds out about Joyceline and her lies, then decides to get back together with me? This would blow up the chances that I have to reunite with my husband.“Look, Sydney. Aiden cheated on you with Joyceline, your best friend. You go to the club and sleep with someone, take it as a good scope for revenge.”“There is nothing like revenge on this one. I neve
I whistle in excitement as I get ready to go shopping for my baby stuff. Lydia was at work so I would be going alone, she was actually the one who had convinced me to do this today. I feel more fresh than ever as I step out in baggy pants and a crop top, my stomach is as flat as ever and no one will even suspect that I am pregnant. I head to the biggest baby mall in the city. It’s quite expensive but the money I have is able to purchase whatever I want from the mall. All of this is for my baby and I can’t wait to see how my pregnancy journey will be.Whistling my favourite song, I enter the mall and request for a checklist from the receptionist. The checklist helps first time mothers to know exactly what they want to buy for their babies - the necessary things exactly.Seeing that diapers and wipes are first on the list, I walk around the mall to look for their section. It took me a few minutes to locate it and I began to stock my basket with loads of diapers.Someone clears their th
** Spencer **I relax inside the walls of the magnificent office, which is decorated to my taste. There is a glass demarcation with the other small space being carved out as my personal assistant’s office. Even with the sharing of space, I am satisfied with the size of my own office. This proves how much progressive my company has made over the years of my absence. I sighed in relief that things were turning out well for me in the business industry, but the untold shadows of my past were lurking around my mind. I can feel it.While I have not been contacted by anyone from my past, I feel like it would be best if I don’t come across any of them ever again. Because right now, I can feel the rage as it burns inside me. I call myself a coward for running away in the first place. I should have stood my ground and took back what belonged to me.“Spencer?” A female voice called my name softly.The first person that comes into my mind is Sydney. I have been thinking about her ever since we h
“Max, do you think that Miriam really meant what she said?” I asked in deep thoughts.“About what?”“Getting married to me if she clocks thirty and is still single.”Max groaned in frustration. “Did you fall for that crap?”I ruffle my hair in confusion. Even though Miriam had debunked whatever she had just said, covering it up as a joke. I still have that feeling that she was dead serious about it. I got the chills because I’m aware that Miriam likes me, not just as a friend anymore. The likeness is slowly becoming more intimate but the issue is that it’s coming from her side, not mine.My heart has fluttered for only one woman and she was Sydney. The one night stand wasn’t like others that I forgot about easily. This one was still fresh in my mind and made me feel hard anytime I remember how beautiful her moans were. So even if Miriam opened several doors of opportunities for me to date her, I would choose Sydney one thousand times over her.Don’t get me wrong - I value my friendsh
I stared nervously at myself in the mirror. I was scared - so scared - that I was going to make a tragic mistake and ruin everything. I don’t want to blow this up, this could be the only chance I have and closest to getting an interview let alone a job.Lydia entered the bedroom with a cup of tea - drinking coffee is strictly forbidden - and handed me a cup with a nod of approval as she assessed my appearance.“You look like the typical personal assistant,” Lydia said.“Are you sure that they are going to like my dress at all?” I asked nervously.“For goodness sake, you are going to an interview, not a date.”“But the skirt looks bigger on me, like the overall uniform of an apprentice,” I complained.Lydia sighed. “You are pregnant, Sydney. It’s not advisable to wear tight clothes to avoid certain circumstances that might not be good. Listen to me, you are perfect and I’m sure that if you worry less about your appearance and focus more on building your confidence, you will get the job.
“Great! You can meet with Betty at the reception centre for more information about your new job,” he grinned at me and stood, returning to his chair and turning back to look at whatever it was.“Thank you,” I muttered and stumbled out. This interview was an intense one and I still feel hot from his close proximity. “How did it go?” Betty asked when she saw me.“I got the job. He said that I should meet you for more details,” I said, trying hard to contain my excitement. “Congratulations, Sydney,” Betty said.“Thanks.”“So here is what you need to know. Spencer Group Limited is one of the best business corporations in our city and since our CEO is back officially, double efforts will have to be made in order to keep the comps running on the top. Here is a daily schedule for your weekly activities, anything other important schedule or appointment will be conveyed to you later ,” Betty explained.I collected the paper and went through it carefully. “Thank you for this,” I said.Betty w
