She laid on the couch, thinking about what Adrian would do to her if he returned. One of the maids had earlier informed her about the video that had circulated over the internet that afternoon. She couldn't understand how she had turned into an internet sensation overnight. Was it because she was married to a billionaire? She thought. The footsteps from the foyer jolted her from her thoughts and she jumped out of the couch. She hurried up the stairs immediately and headed into her room, as she couldn't withstand his sight. As she stood in her room pacing around, a knock came on the door and her heart jumped into her stomach. "I'm..I'm..coming," she stammered as she walked over to the door. "Madam Vivi," she panicked as she saw Vivian standing at the door. "Come and serve your husband's food" she said at once. "Me? What food? No I can't. Look, I'm going to bed right now. You should serve the food yourself. You know he doesn't even touch my food" she said immediately. "Rea
She joined him on the balcony as soon as she was done clearing the table. She saw him picking his teeth with a toothpick, while relaxing with his back on the blue single lounge chair. She sat on the chair opposite him and she smiled as she looked out of the balcony into the beautiful surrounding which was looking so peaceful that afternoon. "Thank you for the meal. I've not tasted such good meals for ages" he said and she laughed. "And also, I want to let you know that I enjoyed the meal better with people around me," he added and she smiled as she looked at his face, which had a warm smile. "Thank you," she said and he nodded. He kept silent for a few seconds and then he took a deep breath. "How is life with Adrian?" He asked and her countenance changed. He looked at her and he saw her counting her fingers nervously. "I know what you're going through. You should feel free to tell me how you feel" he said and she sighed. "I'm.. I'm trying to cope, though it hasn
"Don't tell me you actually caught him eating last night?" Bose asked in disbelief as she placed her hand on the dining chair. "I caught him red handed!" She emphasized and the ladies laughed. "Jeez, so he is that smart, to sneak into the kitchen at night to empty the pot" Sara added and they all laughed again. "You need to see the look on his face, he was damn embarrassed!" She continued to relate with excitement as the ladies listened to her with interest. "Well, now that he finally had a taste of your food, there is no going back for him. Because he will surely be locked up in your charms" Vivian put in and they all laughed again. "Now he knows what he's been missing all along," Bose added. "I've never seen him so embarrassed. It felt so good, you know, seeing his face like that. It kind of gives me an edge over him" she said with a smile and they laughed again. As he walked down the stairs with the men, he could hear their laughter from the living room. His heart s
She couldn't help but awe as she stepped into the three storey building which was swimming in so much luxury. A smile appeared on her face as she saw him walking down the spiral stairs, dressed in a casual vintage short sleeve shirt and black pants. "Daughter in-law," he called as he approached her slowly with the aid of his walking stick. "Father," she called with a smile as she made a slight bow before him. He smiled as he saw her beautifully dressed in a white turtleneck top, tucked into a long red skirt. "You're welcome to my small heaven" he said proudly and she giggled. "It's really heaven on Earth" she marveled as she looked around the well furnished living room which was decorated with expensive sofas, a chandelier light and other aesthetic components. "So what do you think? Is it more beautiful than Adrian's?" He asked and she laughed. "They're both beautiful," she said and he smiled. "Come on, you're not getting a rest today. The kitchen is set, and I need you
Their laughter could be heard as they walked into the house. "Welcome home, sir, welcome home, Madam," the servants greeted as they walked past them. "So, did you enjoy your day?" He asked as they walked over to the living room. "Yes, so much" she said while swinging the shopping bags she was holding. He laughed and sat on the sofa. "Come on, I need a sumptuous dinner" he said as he placed his back on the chair tiredly. "Oh, you don't want me to be late for home, father," she said with a smile. "Really? You think I will let you go home tonight?" He asked and her eyes shone. "Father, I didn’t tell Adrian I was going out," she reminded. "And you were going out to where? My place" he said as he stood up. "Hmm, don't you think he might get angry?" She asked anxiously. "Why would he? Does he care about you being around the house?" He asked as he walked over to the stairs. She kept silent with her gaze on the floor. "Hey..are you sad?" He asked as he turned over to look at her.
He raised his eyes as he saw her walking into the office. She was expensively donned in a white silk jumpsuit and white crystal sandals. Her pretty oval face was expensively adorned with makeup and her long brown artificial hair could be seen dangling on her shoulders as she walked elegantly towards his desk. Her red full lips curved into a warm smile as she placed her white designer bag on the desk while settling on the black swivel chair. "I never recalled giving you an invite" he said with his face void of expression, while sipping from his cup of tea. "Well, you kept making yourself unavailable, so I decided to make myself available to you" she said with a smile as she cast him a seductive look. "Why are you here?" He asked with his eyes fixed on the computer. "Do you always have to be this hard?" She asked as she kept a gaze on his icy face which was without a smile. "Why are you here?" He asked again, ignoring her question. "Well," she said stylishly as she waved her l
She hummed a song playing in her head as she brought out the dishes from the dishwasher. "Madam," she heard a voice behind her. She turned and saw one of the men standing in the entrance of the kitchen. "Sam," she called as she wiped her palm with a napkin and walked over to meet him. "Some people are here. They claim to know you and want to speak to you. They're being held at the gate" he said. "What people? They didn't introduce themselves to you?" She asked and he shook his head. "They're from Oshoada and they didn't introduce themselves further," he said. "Are you sure they are not mistaken? Or, let me go out with you instead," she said as she followed him out of the kitchen. She stood on the staircase at the door. "Hey, I think you should bring them in, I can't walk to the gate, considering the distance," she said and he nodded. A few minutes later, she saw two aged women dressed in buba clothes with two middle aged men beside them. She doesn't seem to know them and s
"Wow, you are indeed growing into a beauty queen," Mateo’s voice could be heard as he walked into the house. It was a bright afternoon and he had come over to the mansion to pay her a visit. "Father, I've always been a beauty queen," she said with a smile. "Yes you are, that's why I chose you specially for Adrian," he said and they both laughed. "I prepared your favorite," she said with a giggle as she walked over to the dining table. "Hmm, that's my girl," he said with excitement as he walked over to the dining room. "Where are the maids?" He asked as he saw her bringing out the food. "Oh, um..your son gave them some weeks off," she said and he pulled a long face. "Why?!" He thundered. "No..nothing," she said as she dropped the tray on the table and stood up right. "It's their normal tradition to go off by this time," she lied. He heaved a sigh and looked at her face. "Are you lying to me?" He asked and she shook her head at once. "Come on father, enjoy your meal," she sa
