The phone ringing woke me up at exactly 6 am. I stood up sluggishly and went into the sitting room to pick it up.
"Hello! Nina Miller speaking" I call into the phone as I stroll into the kitchen to make my morning tea.
"Hello, beautiful damsel" Austin called huskily into the phone making me freeze as I was about to put the pot on the fire.
"Austin?" I question softly, cos I couldn't recall giving him my number unless Lilian.
"Yes, baby. Hope I didn't wake you up"
"No, not at all"
"Just call to remind you of our discussion yesterday and I want to pick you up at work today" There was shuffling in the background like he was getting up from the bed.
"I gotta go. I left you a message at work. Call me when you are done" He hung up.
As I went out to run, I couldn't help but ask myself if accepting to be his girlfriend is the right decisio
"Mr. Thompson, I'll suggest you keep your hands to yourself from now on. Nina is my girlfriend and it's my duty to take care of her. Why don't you go comfort your wife to be". I walk away sad and downcasted while Austin covers her with his jacket. He guides her outside to his car and drove her home. I stood at the balcony and watch them from afar I still couldn't believe that Nina will replace me so soon. What of the connection we felt?. I love her with everything I have and will do everything to take her from Austin. I walk away from the window immediately after they left and went to find my parents. I met them in the conference room at the hotel arguing among themselves. The Meltons were also there and Debbie, sat down on the couch crying. Immediately I walk in, they all quiet down and turn to regard me. " What was that show you put on, at the auction. Michael?" "Mom. It wasn't any show. I ju
💜 Love… Comment…. Share My phone ringing continuously in the sitting room woke me up. Have been lazily waiting for whosoever is calling to stop, but it seems important. I stood up and make my way to the sitting room. I was only in my bra and panties, I quickly grabbed a robe and put it on as I answer the phone on the fifth ring. “Hello” I call immediately I pick up the phone making my voice come out groggy “Nina Miller!!” My father's voice jolted me awake as he shouted on the phone. I heard mom's voice in the background as she was trying to calm him down “Dad?” I question softly, my voice sounding gentler and awake “When were you planning to tell me that you have a boyfriend?
I still couldn't help but wonder about what Nina had just told me. I mean who would believe it, they have never shown like they know each other. I walk into my penthouse only to notice Danny staring at me with wide eyes. “ I know that look,” He said as he rubs his hands on his eyes like someone who has just woken up. I pretended not to hear him as I sat down on the couch opposite him. Different thoughts were going through my mind, as I wonder if I should ask him about it or not. I mean they were together the night Michael and Nina met. “Did you know about Michael and Nina?” I finally ask him as I look at him? I expected him to look shocked or react in any way as I had reacted but not to look like he had known all along. He shrugs and focuses on the television without saying anything.
“Nina! Darling! How are you?” Lillian's mom greeted me immediately I step into their home where the photoshoot will be taking place. “I'm good! mom Amelia” I greeted her, as a hugged her, she ushers me in smiling brightly. “ Mom where is daddy Jose,” I ask her after I sat down in the garden, I look around for Lilian's dad but he was nowhere to be found. “Dear, he has gone to pick Mr. Andre up, he was confused with the address to this place” “Okay, mom Amelia” I smile brightly at her, she turned and left me by myself. I took out my phone and try to reply to some nasty comments on my I*******m when I overheard mum Amelia ushering in someone. I gasp, immediately I saw Debbie and Michael walking, hand in hand ins
I woke up the next morning to my alarm clock ringing, I straight forth my hands to slam it off. I try to get up from bed for my morning run but was too lazy for it. I went to sleep back but yesterday's event plays back in my head as I ran my hands through my lips, a smile forming on my lips as I remember his kiss. I still can't believe that he kisses me. If Lillian and Danny haven't interrupted us, I wonder what we would have done next. My phone ding as I rush out of bed, to check the message “ See me in my office when you get to work today” Mr. Melton. Fuck, fuck, fuck I ran around the room, trying to gather what to wear to the office as I wonder why the big boss will want to see me first thing on Monday morning. Thirty minutes later, I was standing in front o
“What do you mean by you can't find her” I stood up abruptly from my chair and pace around the office as I scream into the phone. “I can't find her anywhere Michael, I've been calling her phone since morning and it's switched off”. Lillian said as she sobbed into the phone. I could hear Danny trying to Console her. I run my hand tiredly through my hair as I clasp the phone tightly “Are you sure it's her number, Lillian?” I said my voice breaking as I fought back the tears that threaten to surface. I need to be strong. “Yes, it's her number” “Since when have you been trying her number?” "For the past four hours now” " Four hours, why didn't you call” I shouted at her.
The alarm beeps at seven in the morning, I slammed my hand angrily at it. I couldn't get enough sleep last night. I was thinking about Mia Walker and Michael, he shows me a side of him that makes me want to protect him and stand by his side always. I threw the cover away as I stood up and went into the bathroom to shower and get ready for work. Remembering the interview I was to have with Austin, I quickly dressed up in a black peplum gown and make my way out of the apartment with my car key in my hand. Opening the door to my car, I saw Deborah Melton rushing to meet me, she was clad in a red bareback gown and fully caked with makeup. She walked up to me and smiled. “Can I get a lift to my dad's company? ” She asked, batting her eyelashes at me. I was surprised, was she not the same person who asks me to stay awa
I stood up abruptly from my chair as I throw the remote I was holding at the smart screen television in my office. It makes a dent on the screen but I didn't care. I can't believe Austin said that at a live interview, that I killed his sister. I close my eyes as I envisioned the tears that fell down Nina's eyes. My heart bled knowing fully well that I'm the cause of her tears. I open my eyes at the sound of my phone ringing, a glance at the caller's ID shows my dad. “Michael Vincent Thompson!!” My dad screams filled my ear as I pull the phone away from my ear. Leave it to my dad to remember my three names when he's annoyed. “Yes, dad” I reply as soon as he has calmed down. “You killed Mia Walker? How?” He asked shocked.
