Bella was excited to implement coffee in her soap line and include it in a different oil line. She wanted to gradually expand her oil line. She wanted to start a hair oil line also. Since she said she would talk about it to Nicholas, she started experimenting with a coffee blended soap and asked Samson and Samuel to use the first batch she created and give her the feedback. She also gave some sample soaps to Nicholas to try them out. To say the least he was impressed with how the sample was. It just needed a little bit of designing and packaging tweaks, the formula was really good. And this coffee soap line would become a trendsetter.Soon, the opening evening of the new building of Howard Entertainment Company was approaching. With only two days before the opening, Samuel had been busier than ever. He had given his everything for this new collection. It was already buzzing around the tabloids about the new artist involved in the new collection of pottery works that are being displ

The next morning Bella woke up early and was cooking brunch because she knew the twins would wake up late and since it was the weekend they would not be up before 11 am. So she started cooking a big meal. While she was mixing cookie dough for dessert she picked her phone to call Nicholas. He picked up his phone on the first ring.“Good morning baby. What do you want me for?” greeted Nicholas in his husky deep voice.Bella clenched her legs together and cleared her throat and said, “Good morning baby. I wanted to ask you for a brunch with twins, and I want you here for whatever I am going to talk”“So are you free?”Nicholas kind of knew what this was about and said, “I will be there in 15 minutes baby. You just need to tell me and I will be there for you.”Bella smiled at that and said, “Then come fast, you adorable man”“Hey, I am hot and sexy. Not adorable.”“Yeah, yeah, you are hot and sexy but also adorable to me. And why aren’t you still here? I need your help with the salad dre

Bella phoned Sersi and had asked her to drop by during the weekend so she could meet Griffin and wanted to talk about a few things. Sersi also had a free weekend and wasn't working in the casino that weekend , so she booked a seat for the shuttle and was on her way.When she arrived at the shuttle station, it wasn't her mother who came to pick her up as usual, it was Samuel and Samson.She also noticed another guy with them. She arrived in the morning, so she was elated to see both of her siblings.Samson and Samuel took turns to hug Sersi and took her bags from her. When the guy stepped out of the car, he came and stood in front of her and introduced himself "Good morning Sersi. I am pleased to meet you finally. I am Griffin. You missed the opening night and your brother was a star" said Griffin as the twins came to the front where Griffin and Sersi were talking.It was like instinct, he knew which one was Samuel and Samson. Few weeks ago before the opening night, when Samson pre

[contains traumatic incidents. Readers are advised to read at their own risk]Sersi blinked her eyes twice to realize it was all true. Her mom had an abortion and went through trauma which she did not even know about.She looked up at the twins and asked, “You both know about all of these?”The twins slowly nodded yes.Sersi was devastated to know about this and she questioned again.“Did dad beat mom? Really? He was sweet. Don’t lie to me guys.” “Why would we lie about something that we literally saw happen in front of us, Sersri?” asked Samson.“We have seen dad throw plates and glasses at mom. We have seen her get beaten by him. We also knew he was not in the right mind. Everytime he came back to his senses and saw mom covered in bruises he felt bad. We have heard him cry. He wailed every time he saw mom covered in bruises Sersi. Do you not remember mom covered in bruises?” asked Samuel sadly.Sersi could not remember those times at all. It was like she had forgotten everything. A

"I hope you can forgive me for all the insolent words I've spoken. It was not with a bad intention. I really love my mother. I thought I knew her better. But it looks like I don't know anyone in my family.” Sersi sobbed by the end of the statement.She had her head down and was not looking at Nicholas or her mother.Sersi was embarrassed to not to know her family who did everything for her but she did not even appreciate them.Nicholas stood up from the swing to console her but Sersi took a step back and nodded a no, indicating that she wasn’t done.Nicholas stopped on what he was doing and sat back. She looked up at Nicholas and continued,“Your family has been very supportive of my mother and my brothers. They did that when they didn’t even know them. But me, I am their blood, but I didn’t appreciate them or support them.”“I thought it was given that I had everything in my life. But I never saw the sacrifices my mom or my brother’s made for me. I was so stupid as a child. Now that
