Theo's pov I was up and ready to go for the second time. Yesterday was a huge burst and today, I was determined to come up with good news for myself. I need it. Yesterday, I was nervous and it made me stutter a little too much for the investors. It's going to be different this time. I stayed up all night practicing for my presentation and any question they may throw at me, it was to make me better than yesterday. Although I had a good feeling about this particular set, it made me a bit nervous too. I have invested a lot of time to plan this and make it a success, with the way it's going, I would say I have made it past different hurdles just to get through to the final stage. I am proud of myself and everything I have achieved so far. So many times, Aleia offered to invest or introduce me to some people in my field but I declined. I didn't want her to get involved in this, our relationship was amazing and there were too many challenges. I didn't want this to become one of
Theo’s pov She kissed me harder like I wouldn't respond, is she kidding? I live for this. I press her closer, I needed to have her closer. I place a hand on her hips which she took as a sign to press into me more and for a moment, I give in. Pressing her back into the wall and devouring her, I slid a knee between her legs and she moaned rubbing herself against it. I know she would be late for work if we keep this up but I couldn't resist, nobody could. I have never wanted her more, I needed her badly. This isn't right, she had to work. With all my strength, I wrench my mouth away from hers, she tries to kiss me again but I step back. I held her back. She pouted, "What?" I shrugged, "I don't want you to be late." I said. She rolled her eyes, "since when do you care if I am late or not?" She asked stomping her foot. Her breaths come out in spurts as she blinks at me. "I am a big girl, so what if I am a little late. My boss wouldn't fire me." She said. I know tha
Aleia's pov I walked into the house, hungry and tired after a long ass day. After Theo left, I went for series of meeting and I had lots of appointments including reporters who wanted to get a story about me investing in his new company. I know telling them the outcome will boost his fans and business, but I also needed to be professional and ask him before I do anything. I didn't want him thinking I was taking advantage of him because of our personal relationship. We would discuss the publicity after we must have signed the contract, then he can decide how much he wants to tell the public about his business. The whole place was dark and quiet but not in a scary way, I sighed to myself. He has gone back to his place, I guess I will see him tomorrow. I slowly got up the stairs with as much strength as I can muster. "Theo!" I called out, hoping he was still here but there was no answer. I opened the door and I was shocked at the sight, Theo was all dressed up in a suit wit
Theo’s pov I so did not see this coming, the old man was here. Unannounced. I suddenly thanked goodness for not going with the initial plan of having it out in the foyer when it first crossed my mind, the mirror decision was the second choice and right now, I was glad I chose it. I watched as she hurried to get dressed, barely basking in the glow of the sex we just had. For some reason, that annoyed me more than anything. We needed time as this was considered our honeymoon stage seeing as we just voiced out our feelings to one another, it has been on my mind for a while but I didn’t want to bring it up casually like it meant nothing to me. It did. I prepared dinner for her knowing she would be tired and hungry when she gets back, I planned on just talking to her about it, irrespective of if she loves me back or not, it doesn’t matter to me as long as she acknowledges my feelings and accepts that they are real. Right now, everything worked out except we didn’t count on her
Mr. Halls’ pov I sucked in a breath as I stood in front of the prison building, I knew I told Aleia that I wanted to go see Kira but now that I am here, I wasn’t brave enough to face her. I have loved her from the moment she bumped into me, I don’t know if it was intentional or a coincidence but I didn’t mind at that time, probably why her betrayal broke me and hearing the things from my daughter proved the fact that I am a bad father and I got fooled by the thing called love. Which is why I was relieved when Aleia told me that she had run a background check for Theo and it came out clean, he wasn’t after her money or looking for a way to sow where he didn’t reap, I was relieved and happy to hear that she was in the right hands. I walked back to my car, making up my mind that I would make the visit some other time, maybe when I have enough courage to go through with it. My phone rang as I got to the car, I checked and it was Aleia. “Hello,” I answered. “Stop lingering i
Aleia’s pov I threw my head back and let out a loud laugh that reverberated to my ceiling, he was telling his story from his arrival to when he left and my favorite part was the one about the divorce. Did she really think she as going to get a dime of his money after what she did, even without signing the prenup, I would have contested. I have the money to hire the best kind of writers there is, there is absolutely no way in hell I am letting her roam around free with the money of the man she tried to kill. She must think I am joke. My father said she screamed that she was going to kill him, sorry Kira, no parole for you. You are going to rot in there till you learn your lesson. I haven’t told my father about the phone conversation between me and Diane. “I forgot to tell you, I called Diane.” I started, He paid attention to me, his curiosity getting the better part of him. “What did she say?” he asked, I shrugged, recounting the conversation we had. “Just her being
Theo’s pov I knew something was wrong when she texted me because I saw one or two people trying to take a picture of me. That's when I knew something was going on. I came out of the bar we were in, and several camera lights flashed on my face. They were all asking a million questions at once and all I can do is stare like I was caught in the headlights. "What's going on?" Gage asked, looking as confused as I was. He looked around like he was hoping to find some type of clue but he couldn't. There was no way he could. We didn't know what was going on. I tried calling Aleia but her number was busy, we managed to make our way to the car and drove home. I had to abandon my car with the promise of coming to pick it up as soon as I can. There was no way I was getting out of here if I drive in mine. We got to the house and there was still a herd of people out there waiting for me or her, maybe. I don't even know what to think right now. We struggled to get to the door and when w
Aleia's pov. Eight years later... I checked my email for the umpteenth time, I was waiting for the confirmation email from the new company that wanted to partner with me. It had grown in a significant amount of time to triumph over these new companies. Now, they are seeking a partnership to seal their deal. They will skyrocket in ours once the press releases it. I was yet to meet with the new owner but they assured me they will send over a representative to conclude the deal. Until they come, I won't hold my breath. It's been years since Theo broke up with me, it took me two years to get over him and move on with my life, I threw myself back to work, taking my company to the next level. It's been topping the charts and has never defaulted. The media have all forgotten what happened, nobody remembers it anymore. I made sure to punish people who had a hand in it. Right now, Kira had a new roommate. I threw Diane in jail because of her involvement in drugs and defamation. Sh
