It was almost six and the sun lost some of its radiance as it started to set, but it was still bright and high enough in the sky to create spectacular evening shadows overlooking the floor-to-ceiling glass window of the terrace located on the second floor of the elegant Rivers Mansion.The silence that easily covered the mansion earlier had been replaced by the sound of excited voices planning for the birthday. Occupying the single sofa that looked like a king's elegant throne was Linz Rivers seated comfortably against the sofa cushion, with a paper in his hand.Beside him seated on the same elegant sofa was his lovely wife Leah Rivers."Turn around miss Stephanie I shall measure your hips. I did as I was told" excellent dear".Finally, Madam Nicole exclaimed when she was done measuring my vital statistics after scribbling the details inside her journal, she let it close.Eyes in the shade of warm peered out of her extraordinary eyelashes. Madame Nicole was a fine woman with high che

I didn't almost recognize the woman staring straight back at me in front of the full-length mirror. Perhaps she was a supermodel.When I urged closer, she moved too, and when I made a sudden graceful turn, she did the same and I finally allowed the awe-inspiring transformation to sink into my head. This is me no longer the same insignificant woman anymore.The off-shoulder long gown clung to my curves like a second skin. The red color made a startling contrast against my pale complexion. The off-shoulder cut enhanced my fine collar bone as madam Nicole said.The gown looked so perfect and I commend Nicole for another yet masterpiece. though the neckline was cut a bit too low making me conscious of displaying a bit of skin."Stephanie!" It's almost time!" Madam Nicole breathlessly sounded from the door which suddenly flung open. She peeked inside my room and after seeing I didn't move an inch she made her way in my direction.As if sensing the fear in me she held both my shoulder and c

Are you okay? you seem disturbed Arianna and John asked Stephanie when she sat beside them.Is nothing just that when I was dancing with that guy I was not feeling comfortable Stephanie saidWhy isn't he handsome and charming Arianna asksHe is in fact when I was dancing with him I felt somehow strange and I also felt a way I have never felt before but I don't want to put my mind to it because I want to focus on my school so I can graduate Stephanie said Okay babes and for me, I don't want to think about any relationship with anyone on till I graduate too so, for now, I want to focus on my mom's health and my siblings too Arianna said Stephanie looked at John and he understood why Stephanie was looking at him." I think it's time for you all to know the main reason why I invited you, people, to my daughter's birthday party". Mrs. Rivers said with the microphone in her hand which made her voice sound louderEveryone in the huge sitting room stop what they were doing and turned their f

I have decided... I don't want to get married to Mr. Lorenzo Stephenie blurted out of nowhere while they were having breakfast with Mr. LorenzoShe had thought about it overnight. If she wanted to marry him or any guy she must fall in love with the person and for now, she is not ready for it.And the only way for her to stop the marriage is to tell her parents and Mr . Lorenzo that she doesn't want to get married just yet as Arianna and John advised her to do.Mr. Rivers choked hard when he heard Stephanie's words and spat out all the food inside his mouth. Mrs . Rivers stood up to gently pat her husband's back while she directly looked at her daughter. When while Lorenzo was not surprised when he heard her reject the marriage proposal but he never knew she will just speak it all loud." Oh my God, Stephanie? What are you talking about? Are you even fully awake, or you are still sleepy? She exclaimed a shock plastered all over her face.Then, she shifted her gaze to her husband and sa

It has been two months since the incident where I had to sleep with someone I don't know just to be able to save my mother from her illness and to be frank I don't regret what I did because I know if it was my mom she would have made sure to do everything possible to be able to save me. But what I don't understand is that doing this period have changed a lot can you imagine I shouted at Rolan last week evening because he drank the black coffee I kept in the kitchen to the point where I almost slap him thank God mom was there in time to stop me if not I would have regretted my actions but the fact that I have never liked coffee not to take off black coffee is what that bothered me because I know I prefer my milk to coffee but now I like in fact I love black coffee to milk. And the rate at which I eat now is alarming and which has made my friend Stephenie keep teasing me that I am pregnant but she will later tell me she is joking because according to her apart from the overfeeding and
