Amara Nicholas:I did not know how to feel about going to the Briggs groups. When I was in the countryside, My father usually spoke so much about his partnership with Mr. Joshua Briggs. Mr. Joshua usually visited us, although then, I wasn't really interested in getting to know the business he had with my father.I am aware that Mr. Joshua Briggs much like my dad has many legal business running under his company name. He gives out loans as well as support small growing companies too. I was eager to resume in their company, just to be leaving home and spending more time with Darlington.Well, I didn't have to worry about the possibility of the love of his life coming to his office to see him and to kiss him in my presence.Gross! That would hurt.Well, I didn't respond to Darlington's statement in his car. Pulling the back door opened, I got into the back car, fastened my seatbelt and ordered him, "Start the car.""Hmm, you don't order me around," Darlington said, meeting his eyes in th

Darlington Briggs;Not saying a single word to Amara, I started my car and finally drove out of the company. She was equally silent, and after hours of driving, we soon arrived home.I waited for the security guy to pull the gate open, then I maneuvered my car into the premises and parked. Amara was the first to get out of my car, and as I got out, I saw my father standing at the mansion's front with a warm smile playing on his face. I watched Amara walk up to meet him. Approaching him, she greeted my father, "Good evening, sir.""Welcome, my daughter-in-law; how was your first day at work?" Dad asked Amara. Only then did it dawn on me that I didn't even remember to ask Amara how her day at work was, not after seeing her laughing and playing with Henry.I decided to set boundaries between them. As much as I didn't want Anara as my wife, that didn't mean I would overlook her for flirting with the men in my firm.Amara was pretty, and I know Henry was still single and unmarried."It w

Amara Nicholas;I had already called my dad as soon as I awoke and informed him that I wanted to continue working at Briggs Group. I used getting closer to Darlington as an excuse; my dad believed me, and I went to prepare, not seeing Darlington on the bed.I remember him holding me the previous night, and with the way his eyes kept staring at me with desire while his actions spoke otherwise, I didn't know what to do with him.I was surprised to have woken up and found out that he wasn't in the room. I thought he probably went out that night, but surprisingly, he was in the house and still in his robe, looking tired with dark circles around his eyes.He didn't look like the handsome man I met the first day I arrived. Well, I couldn't care anymore, as I was tired of trying to win him over. Since he didn't want me, I thought about making friends at his company before I left; that way, I would have more partners when I finally left for the countryside to control my father's business.I re

Darlington Briggs:We went into the Restaurant and settled on the same table. Unlike at the company cafe where we had to sit apart.I observed Amara's face as she stared around the Restaurant until our eyes met. The waitress came to take our order."What would you like to eat?" I asked Amara, and she stared at the menu and frowned a little."The meals are too expensive," she said."So, just pick one and stop acting local here," I said to Amara, and she finally ordered fried rice and meat."Hmm, bring the same for me too," I told the waitress who attended to us. After she left us, Amara said, "Isn't it better we eat at home? This is just a waste of money.""It's my money. Let's not talk about this, and you should try not to embarrass me in public settings like this again," I said, looking at Amara. She frowned and looked away.Soon, our meals arrived. The Restaurant was very large, and mostly the affluent people came here to have their special delicacies served.I was expecting Amara t

Amara Nicholas:Irushed into the living room after exiting Darlington's car. I hadn't expected to bump into his dad. My Joshua is a caring man, and if only Darlington could be as caring as his father.I saw the way he treated his wife. The middle-aged woman was so rude and totally different from most of the women I had met in my whole life. I couldn't believe she was my townperson. She was rude, always insulting me and provoking her husband, but it seems he was already used to her provocation, and maybe that's why he loves her.I thought about provoking Darlington. I hadn't expected him to react; I knew he didn't care about me. I heard him speaking to his lover. So how come he was jealous after hearing me say that I wanted his father over him?"Let go of me!" I shouted as Darlington pinned me to the wall. I was afriad if he would turn violent and hit me as I saw Darlington raised his second hand up to my face, but to my shock, he touched my cheek and caressed it."Why is your cheek so
