Chapter 9
For the first time in three months Elsie woke up next to Lewis, feeling his body heat. There was no barricade of pillows. They were covered in their white sheets naked with Elsie lying on his hairy chest, feeling the rhythmic raise and fall of his thoracic cavity. Cool air escaped his lungs through his nose. She slid out of his grasp carefully not to wake him up and sat on the bed her hands covering her face.
It was a brand new day but with the same guilt. Some things don’t just change especially those engrained on our hearts by a curving knife of guilt.The memories of the sweaty untamed sex they had the previous night flashed her mind but they were getting distorted by those of the other night with Frank. She tried to slap some sense into her own head but she ended up waking up Lewis. Another bad move. She was afraid of the review-how she performed the previous night."Good morning sunshine, you're okay?""You're awake!" Surprised Elsie turned around to face LewisRelated chapters

Your guess is right, frank was not having the best of Sundays. Unless you didn’t guess that one, now you know. Anyway, funny how the mighty were falling, as a playboy Frank used to think until the skies met the heavens and death died a miserable death, no girl was going to take him off the market-by that I mean the dating scene. Guess who was wrong? It was starting to get real to him that he was crazy sick and in love with a married woman he had a one night stand with roughly fort eight hours back. He had tried everything to forget her but the more he did the harder it got for him. That's how he ended up gathering enough courage to call her. The question was, why her? Scratch the beauty part because he had been with hot models some men could only watch on TV. Frank was lying sprawled on his massive bed covering his Lower extremity. His eyes were wide open, his arms spread. It was almost ten in the morning he had not woken up and his personal butler and guard was getting worried

After attending a wonderful church service at the Westbrook basilica the Woodleys went their separate ways. Lewis rode with his father for their usual Sunday stroll which he used to discuss a few important things about the family with his last born son. It did not sit well with the others, Steve and Joe were always jealous. But at least they had their mother."He is a last born you know, you guys don't have to be this gloomy every time your father decides to take him along""He is spoiling the kid" complained Steve as the family walked to the parking lot.They were sandwitched between guards and their personal servants and drivers. Lagging behind but still within the boundaries of the guards was Bella and together with Alexis and Andy, they were engaged in a humorous banter. "Lewis is not a kid anymore, come on get over this""We are okay mum Steve is just being Steve" Joe said getting his mother's door."He doesn't speak for me" Steve said going to his Bent

George took his last born son to a fancy restaurant that served the best fish in the city. That's what he always did in case he wanted to propose something that would make Lewis uncomfortable and the son always knew what was coming all he hoped for was his father was going to ask something he could do. Although if it was anything he could brag about to his brothers he did it without demur. He didn't have to take him to that restaurant. "So what is it this time dad?" "Nothing am just having lunch with my favorite son...don't tell the others I said that" "I won't""You say that and leak our conversations, I don't want them to hate you when we are all gone"That was his biggest worry, lack of cohesion in his family. As a father he knew all his children and their limits. Steve for one was the rebellious type, always pointing out any injustice against him. But he was better than Joe because at least one could tell what he was thinking. The latter was always quiet a

That Wednesday morning Elsie woke up happy as usual. It was her first day at the office and she was excited about getting a real job apart from shopping and being driven around from one mall to another. Together with Lewis the two of them were already awake and dressed up ready for work. It was the second day in a row they were making love and it was great, the guilt was fading. It was there but fading."How do I look?" She asked coming out of the dressing room in a white blouse, black blazer and matching black skirt with its sleeves rubbing her knee caps."Stunning, am worried""I will be working with your father hunnie besides I told you again and again am all yours" she said holding his hands."I know baby" he kissed her on the lips, "this few days have been fantastic I'll miss you now that you'll be busy serving my father""It's not serving, I'll be working earning a salary like everyone else, are you okay with this?" Elsie asked helping him with his tie.

Just remember what we talked about. You beat this, your record will go straight.

Elsie was settling in well. On her first day she already had a bunch of papers to go through and once in a while she stopped to admire the decor in her office that was made of translucent glass all round. A glass table with a long comfy leather C-suite chair that could be adjusted up and down and move three hundred and sixty degrees, a shelf of books on her left, flowers on her table with a picture of her and Jake.On the wall there was a calendar and some art of a sad girl. She kept looking at it and pictured herself a few days back. Her PA was now automatically her secretary and she was a phone call away. It still felt like a dream to her. The office phone on her desk rang, she quickly picked it up. That was the moment she was eagerly waiting for, she had practiced how to pick calls several times."The Woodley’s empire financial department how may I help you" she said her angelic voice echoing in her own head."You don't sound like a newbie" Lewis said."Argh! It's

Elsie's first day working for the family came to an end. Generally it was a good one apart from the little hitch she ran through in the name of Frank. She arranged her papers and scribbled something in her diary. They were objectives for the next day something she had learned from her mother who by the way had not done anything to help as she promised and Elsie was so scared to call her for fear of getting scolded again. That evening she gathered enough courage. To sugar coat the whole thing with some good news. She was officially a complete woman because according to her mother such woman had to work and still take care of a family, multitasking was a key skill."Hey mum, how are you?" She asked in the nicest possible way she could."Don't try to act nice with me, fine though""Come on mum what's done is done, get over it besides am still your daughter no matter what. Your words not mine""That was before you embarrassed me and my teachings""So you are not
