He stepped out of the elevator and hastened his steps as he walked over to the penthouse where he could see his father, sitting on the white lounge chair, making a phone call. He stood for a moment and waited for the call to end before walking over to meet him. The men at the penthouse made a slight bow as he walked over them to meet his father, who was sitting comfortably, donned in a white agbada. “You look troubled, what brings you here?” Mateo asked as he looked at his son whose black dress was soaked with perspiration as he stood in front of him. He heaved a sigh and looked away from him as he thought of how to place the words. “Adrian, what's going on?” Mateo asked anxiously. “Alex is missing,” he spilled with his back facing him. Silence fell in and Mateo stood up slowly with the aid of his walking stick. “What are you saying? Did I hear you clearly?” He asked with a chuckle as he shook his head in disbelief. He heaved a sigh again and turned to face him. “I went to he
Her face broke into a warm smile as she stepped into the beautiful and well furnished chambers. She could see him sitting on the round red sofa with his back facing her. “Father,” she called and he turned towards her slowly.“Alex! Alex!” He exclaimed as he saw her face. He tried to stand up with the aid of his walking stick and she hurried over to meet him. She dropped her bag on the couch and supported him. “Alex, where have you been?” His emotional voice sounded and she broke into tears at once.“Father, I’m so sorry,” she cried as he wrapped his arms around her shoulders slowly.“What happened?” He asked and she raised her face to look at him.“It’s a long story,” she sniffed as she wiped the tears off her face.“I have all the time,” he said while looking into her eyes.*He gulped the water mercilessly and threw the plastic bottle across the car window. The sun was blazing so hot and he could feel his whole body soaked in perspiration. He heaved a sigh as he looked across the b
He poured the drink in the glass recklessly as he wiped his lips. Several bottles of alcoholic drinks could be seen, scattered on the table before him. Slow music could also be heard playing in the background as people walked slowly around the club. As the club lights reflected on his face, tears could be seen dripping down his cheek as he sat at one end of the club, drinking himself to stupor. How could he? How could his father let Alex go? He thought. Yes, all he ever wanted was to be free from her, but right now, it all felt too sudden and it was a big bone in his chest which he was finding so hard to digest. Was he going to let her leave this way? He thought as he rubbed his palm over his head in frustration. “Alex is married to me, not my father. Alex is mine and no one can take her away from me!” He voiced confidently as he dropped the glass violently on the table and stormed out of the club. The heavy rain could be seen lashing against the Porsche as it stopped in front
“Sam! Get the bottle!” She yelled as she grabbed hold of his hand and they both began to struggle. The men ran over to them and they all overpowered him and took the piece of bottle away from his hand. “No.! No!..,” he cried as his knees crumbled to the ground and he began to weep uncontrollably. She began to pant heavily with her white dress stained over with blood. She knelt beside him and placed her hand around his shoulder slowly. She made his head rest on her chest as she caressed his thick arms slowly. “It’s going to be fine, it will all be fine,” she consoled emotionally as she tried to conceal her tears. Everyone watched in silence and no one dared say a word. “Madam Vivi, we would be needing a first aid box to attend to his wound,” She said to Vivian. “Yes, Sara will help you with that, while Bose and I will fix the room,” the old lady said. “I’ll go get the first aid box,” Sara said as she walked out of the room and the men followed after her. The moment became silen
She felt an acrid pain in her head as she opened her eyes. With her palm resting on her forehead, she looked around the room and her mouth opened in dismay and she sat up right immediately. She looked at her body and she could see the brown duvet spread over her waist down to her legs. Her heart cringed as she recalled everything that had happened last night. She looked at the other side of the bed and she could see Adrian lying peacefully on the bed with the duvet spread over his body. The moments of last night sprang up in her head again and she began to recall how he had made love to her last night. It was nothing but a night full of pleasure as he had made sure to be gentle with her. She couldn’t believe such a cold hard hearted man would be so gentle and soft within. She had enjoyed every one of his touches and kisses and a smile appeared on her lips as she recalled those moments. She took a slow glance at him again and she wondered what he would do when he woke up and found he
They stepped out of the elevator and walked into the glass penthouse which was swimming in so much luxury. With his arms wrapped around her waist, they walked slowly to the portable well furnished room and he kept on making jokes as they walked. She couldn’t help but laugh as he led her into the room and he pulled away from her. “It’s beautiful here,” she said with a smile as she looked around the room which had a king sized bed, large beautiful curtains, and other beautiful aesthetic components. He watched as she walked over to the view with her face beaming with a smile and her body resting against the glass wall. “You like it,?” He asked and she nodded with a smile as she walked over to the bed. “Come over here,” he urged with a hoarse voice and she giggled as she walked over to him and he made her sit on his legs. Just then, Vivian walked into the room with Bose following behind her, both carrying trays of food. They both pulled a surprise face with their gaze fixed on Alex w
“I began to notice her long midnight chats and calls. I peeped into her chat box one day, and I saw her romantic chats with a man named Lisandro. I never spoke to her about it and I had to hire a private investigator named Scot. He dug into the young man’s profile and he found out he was her ex boyfriend who lives in Mexico. I was flabbergasted, I was grief-stricken, I was crushed. I couldn’t bear the fact that my beloved wife turned out to be exactly like my devilish mother, Amelia. I never spoke a word about it to her and I continued to bond with my baby Isabel. And you know, all through those times, I never cheated on Barbara, nor laid a hand on her. I continued to be patient, hoping my beloved wife would change if I continued to shower her love. But I lost all that patience in one day” he said as a wry smile appeared on his lips. “I was supposed to go on a business trip to Atlanta. But our flight was canceled and I decided to return home. On getting home, I met the shock of my
Their laughter could be heard as they stepped into the living room, with his hand wrapped around her waist. The maids lined up in the living room as they watched with amusement on their faces. “Come, let me show you something in the room,” he whispered into her ears and she laughed. “I’ll join you later, just go upstairs and let me fix dinner,” she said as she turned to face him. “No, we’ve had a long day. I guess Vivian made us dinner already, right Vivian?” He asked as he looked at the old lady who was watching them with a smile on her face. “Yes, I did,” she replied with amusement. “You see? Come on, let’s go upstairs,” he urged as he dragged her hands along with him. She smiled and turned to look at the ladies as Adrian pushed her towards the stairs. She winked at them and made a signal with her hands and they all nodded. “Now that Alex has finally found a place in the master’s heart, do you think she will still consider us as friends?” Bose asked sadly. “Probably she will
