My phone rang again and I smiled as I picked up my husband call this time. “Miss me yet, wife,” he teased immediately and I groaned. “No, but the kids want you home.” “Too bad. My flight got delayed.” He sighed. “What?” I jerked up from where I sat. He chuckled. “Easy their wife. I just got to town and would be home soon,” he entered and I sighed. “Bye…” I ended the call abruptly, feeling angry at such expensive joke. I had everything ready already. After two hours, I was perfectly ready and had stepped out of the room and back down only to find out that I was a late host. Everyone was present. My parents, my sister, Tiana, Nate, Tiffany and her fiancée, Jordan’s cousins, their girlfriends, his mom, my p.a and Margaret. Yes her. she was a huge part of Jordan’s life for long and we could not let her to keep being a staff here so we freed her with a lot of money, a house, something to keep her going and a family. “I told you that she might be painting,” Julian’s loud mouth entere
GENESIS"We are over this, finally we are over this shit" I said loudly against the music that threatened to kill my hearing."Cheers to a new world" another guy who I didn't really know much in school yelled against the music."Not just a new world" I interrupted."Cheers to fulfilling our dreams, cheers to getting good jobs, cheers to having a family, cheers to getting rich" I yelled."Cheers" they yelled back and we clang our glasses together and drank in merriment and enthusiasm.A new music began playing in the club and I found my body moving to it. Within seconds I gulped down the drink in my hands and dropped the glass before moving to the dance floor."Oh hell yeah, go rock that stage baby girl" Tiana yelled."Oh, I'm coming to show my booty work" Tiffany yelled and soon found herself close to me, dancing to the beat of the song without a care in the world.We danced and danced and laughed, it f
LEONA CHASE I was totally dumbfounded by the way things turned out. As I walked down the stairs, my thoughts travelled far and wide for a solution to my pending problem that came in the name of a person. Jordan. How could he have demanded for such an outrageous thing? He was clearly making things difficult on purpose for me. The maids scurried away immediately they saw me, they always did that and it was flattering. Maybe I would have taunted them for a while, but I was in a deep dilemma to even bother about them. I came down the stairs and walked through the large sitting room before I came out at the entrance. My escorts and security guards that were all dressed in a black suit and shade immediately went over to their position, while one of them opened the back seat of my car for me and I stepped in. He opened the front door of the car and sat next to the driver. The driver waited till the first car moved before he folllowed and then the car behind us. When we started moving, my
ABIGAIL CONNORThe moment the car arrived at the hospital, Connor ran out with Ava in his arms. I ran in front of him and called the attention of nurses and doctors but most of them seemed busy and stared at me like I was a mad woman."Help, she is dying, she is...." my voice was hoarse from crying so much, I could barely hear myself. I ran to the receptionist and and banged on the canter."Please, why isn't anyone helping" I cried. The nurse at the desk raised her head up from her computer and gave me a split second look before she returned to what she was doing with her computer."Have you been registered in this hospital before ma'am" the nurse at the reception asked without looking at me once and I stared at her in horror. How could she be asking that when someone was dying?"No. no...." I replied her quickly."Ma'am you need to get registered" she said unconcerned."Come-on please, someone
LEONA CHASEI had a restless night, how could I sleep when my son's future was at stake, how could I blink when I knew that if I didn't act quick, everything was going to fall apart for him and his birth right would be snatched away from him.He might not have actually cared about it the way I did, but I still cared, his future was my priority and I wanted to do anything to make sure he had everything that would secure his future. Sleep ran away from me as I thought of how to go about getting him a wife, which I knew wasn't going to be a problem. My problem was actually going to be Jordan. He wasn't like the other young men around but I couldn't tell if it was a good thing or a bad thing for him to be so different. He wanted Samantha Brandon and it was clear the young lady didn't want him, I couldn't let him loose those properties because he was adamant about a childhood crush. But how was I supposed to go about it? If I
Two days afterABIGAIL CONNOR"Mom, I want ice cream" Ava pouted at me and I rolled my eyes at her. Ever since she came out of the operation room, her father had been spoiling her none stop with gifts and snacks and she was getting too used to it."No, baby girl. You have taken enough, no more sweet or candies. Nothing" I said to her and ran my hands through her hair gently while seating beside her bed."Dad....." she called and turned to her father who was sitting at the other side of her bed. He seemed to be the only one who did what she wanted."Darling, your mom is right, you need to cut down on those things for a while" he replied her."But dad ...""My hands are tied here baby, your mom is even glaring at me" he gave her a pout of his own and I laughed at his pathetic attempt."Don't do that again" Ava chuckled."But I do it amazingly well' he said playfully.
GENESISGstared at my sister with an amused look in my eyes while my lips remained jammed together, so to suppress the urge to laugh at how ridiculous she sounded but I couldn't hold it in for too long, it was just so far fetched, I couldn't help but laugh so loud. My sister and parents stared at me with weird eyes but I didn't stop, I laughed till my stomach began to hurt. Then I had to stop, I relaxed and took deep breathes before turning to them."What? did you hear you daughter speak?" I said and surpressed the laughter that threatened to come out of my loins again."I am saying the truth" Ava said in annoyance to the way I was laughing at her silly jokes.... I pouted at her."of course I believe you....." I said and sat close to her, her eyes brightened and she smiled widely."In our next life"I added and the smile washed off her face, it was replaced with a deep frown."Mom...
TWO DAYS LATERGENESISI sat down at the chair at the skin clinic, completely relaxed at thesame time exhausted. The marriage thing was happening so fast, there was no time to talk to my family or even my friends, I didn't even find the opportunity to talk to Nate yet and damn, it made me feel so guilty. I was getting married without his knowledge, it broke my heart. I didn't love him, but he was a friend and companion, I knew too well that what I was doing was going to hurt him terribly, but I couldn't sum up courage to tell him even when we spoke on phone. It was terrible but what was more terrible was the fact that I still didn't find the time to even ponder over my guilt."Genesis dear....here, you have to taste this" Mrs Chase gave me a piece of cake. It was the third one for that day. She had been all over my face in the past two days and didn't stop hovering around me like a wicked shadow about to take my life fro
