Flashback: To say Judith Alia was not the star of the night would like be calling the universe plain. False right? As Judith walked into the ball room wearing the latest design by Saint Laurent. The gold gown clung to her like a second skin as though it had been made specifically for her. Her blonde hair cascaded down her back like a waterfall and her legs graced the almighty Nappa silk strappy heels. Of course all she wore had been customized, it had to be, Judith Alia was a well known global model, she has modeled Dior, channel, Versace, Prada and even Gucci so it was no surprise that the beautiful blonde was the star of the night. Julia was here sorely for one thing, more like one person: Gideon Romero. Sure she had come here to party, and have fun but most importantly she had come here for a pleasurable business. Ever since she had laid eyes on Gideon on that vogue magazine last week, he had been rent free in her head. Now that she had had a look, she wanted to taste and claim
"Is there anything else you will need Ma'am? " Will asked Emma’s mother who sat on the couch sipping the tea he just made for her. She wrapped herself in a shawl and declined Will’s offer. The man had done more than enough for her and her husband since Emma’s departure. "Thanks for everything. God bless you my boy. " Pearl told William as he stood in the parlor, looking around to see if there was still anything left to be done. “Don't mention Ma'am. " he replied. "I'll check whether the guys I asked to clear the shrubs behind are done. " Will told Emma's mother before dashing out of the living room. "Such a good young man. " she acknowledged. Ever since Emma left, he had stepped in acting like the son or rather son in law they never had. Pearl missed Emma terribly but she knew her leaving town was the best and fastest way for her to heal yet it didn’t stop her from feeling the way she did. Her husband Emma's father had tried to console her explaining how important it was for their
Judy examined the well sealed tomatoes in their transparent pack. They looked perfect and their freshness was evident. Every ingredient must be perfect. She thought. She placed some vegetables in her shopping basket alongside a salmon and some spices. She ensured she left the grocery store after getting everything she will be needing. She carefully selected the ingredients paying attention to their freshness and she checked the expiry date of the packaged items she bought. She had never been so cautious while shopping until now. "Good morning. " She greeted Frankie after he had opened the door for her. His attention quickly drifted to the plastic bags she held. "If you won't let me in them help me at least. " she told him with a smile and Frankie quickly collected the bags from her. They got to the kitchen and Frankie was soon placing the things in order. "I'll take it from here Frankie. " Judy said. Frankie stood staring in confusion without uttering a word to her. "You can go
Will woke up earlier than usual. He was already up before his alarm clock could sound the signal. It was the day he will be reporting for duty at the Dan Delivery Services. He freshened up and was soon dressed in his work uniform with the inscription DDS boldly written in the back. He placed his wallet in his pocket and a DDS identity card with his name on it was around his neck. He made noodles and ate it before mounting the delivery bike given to him a day earlier. As Will drove to the Dan Delivery Services main office, he wondered how his first day at work will turn out. He recalled his first day at work in Emma’s house. He wasn't bothered because all he had to do was drive his friend around whom he was well accustomed with. Sometimes, he drove the few domestic staff on errands in Gideon's mansion. Today, he will be driving supplies instead. He prayed in his heart that his first day turns out easy as he intends to please whichever receiver he was delivering to. He pulled his bike
Gideon flipped through the files on his table, trying so hard not to think about Emma and his little son he had lost because of his negligence. He was more than devastated after Emma’s departure and Ryan’s death. He’d been staring at this particular page of his document yet he couldn’t understand the words written there, his mind was far far away from work. Suddenly the door to his office was open and in came a woman, she had her grey long hair tied in a bun, glasses covering her almond eyes and a hand bag was slung over her left shoulder. “Mom?” Gideon asked surprised to see his mother at the entrance of his office. “Mom!” He yelled again as he got up from his seat and rushed to embrace his mother. Catherine hugged her son briefly and detached herself from him, stylishly removing imaginary dust from her Christian Dior customized gown. If Gideon noticed this, he didn’t show it. He was used to the lack of affection from his mother. This incident was nothing new. But each time his mo
CHICAGO:Emma adjusted the rope that held the apron around her neck. "I don’t have to choke to get the work done." She muttered as she reduced the tightness of the rope a little bit. She looked gorgeous and had packed her blonde hair in a dough form. In her bar attendant uniform, she gazed around the busy atmosphere and her mind travelled to days spent at Gideon's bar in New York. It was always filled up and the noisy environment was as exciting as the club she was now working at. Just like Gideon's club, this place was lit and the warm expressions spread on the faces of the customers proved how much they loved the place. She smiled at Ellie her co-worker and now friend who was passing by with some tray of shots. She cleaned her forehead with her hand towel and resolved to clearing the empty glasses spread around the table before her. She was glad she had taken this job. Not only will the income help her fend for herself, she will also save to further her studies which she stopped
Emma looked at the mirror and kept marveling at the image projected by the glass. Her recently acquired flat belly and tender skin coupled with the thin figure she had, made her marvel over the wonders that could be achieved in a month at the gym. Since last month, she had taken her work outs seriously and went to the gym daily. The diet also helped. She knew it. She wondered why she hadn't visited the gym or placed herself on such diet after having Ryan. "In few months to come, I'll be the Emma I used to be”. She assured herself and smiled in the mirror feeling her tender skin and rubbing her flat belly. She was practically looking hot and sexy and of course, she won't she promised herself not to relent in her exercises. She slipped into her skimpy brown sleeveless dress and thought of releasing her hair. ‘Always in a dough’ she muttered as she loosened her beautiful blonde hair which fell unto her shoulders. She oiled it and combed it and her hair was soon glowing. She reddened h
Emma walked into the clothing store downtown. She felt she needed new dresses especially now that her body was altering exactly the way she wanted it. She wandered inside the store and suddenly her attention was drawn to a sleeveless red top which hung on one of the clothing hangers by the corner. She quickly grabbed the top and went to the large dressing mirror in the store. She imagined how beautiful it would look on her and suddenly someone whispered into her ears saying "It will look perfect on you. " She was immediately frightened and turned around to see who it was that made her feel this jumpy. It was Mr. Arrogant as she had been referring to him lately. “You scared me to death. " she revealed panting heavily. "Did I?" He asked still standing so close to her that she could feel his breath on her face. She quickly took few steps back. “What are you doing here? " she inquired. "Are you following me? " she further asked then resolved to check him out. He wore a classy blue jean
