“ Fancy seeing you here,” Clinton said as Aly walked into the bar. “ Hello to you too; I came with a friend though,” she smiled at him. The bar reminded her of the first time she met Bazyli. It felt like yesterday; up until now, she cannot explain what drew her to him. She just fell for him at first sight. “ Really?” “ Yeah, there she is.” Aly said as Davina joined her at the table. “ Hi,” “ Hello, what can I get you?” Clinton asked Davina, forgetting about Aly at that moment. She smiled, looking at them as they openly flirted with each other. “ Some shots with lemon will do,” she ordered. “ Do you want anything to eat, We recently added food to our menu,” “ Really? What do have?” Aly asked her interest piqued. “ Seafood boil, sushi, egg fried rice, and some noodles that’s what we have for now,” “ We’ll try the sushi,” Davina suggested. “ Great choice,” he said as he went to the kitchen to place the order. Aly was proud of Bazyli on the developments he had made on

“ Hi Ma,” Aly answered her phone when she realised her mom was calling. She had been engrossed in work for the past three days. There was a partnership deal she was working on, which was taking much of her time.“ Do you care for some home cooked meals?” Xara asked her daughter, standing in front of her office.“ Yes, yes, I do. I’d really—- She was cut off by her mom opening the door and walking into the office, earning a chuckle from Aly.“Really, mom?” she asked, leaning in for a hug.“ I didn’t want to bother you with calls when Zeke told me you were busy buried in work,” she said, taking a seat in front of her daughter and placing the basket beside her. She had prepared simple meals as well as soups for her.“Thanks, Ma; you’re the best mother one could ever ask for. I love you.” “ I love you too.” “ How are you doing, Alyona? You look stressed out, sad, and tired,” her mother pointed out. “ I’m not going to lie, mom. I am. Considering all that’s happening, my mind’s messe

“You look radiant, Kim," Aly greeted warmly as she ushered her friend into her apartment. Despite Aly's recent bout of stomach troubles, she was eager to host Kim, even if it meant relocating their meeting to her home."Thanks, Aly. How's your stomach feeling now?" Kim inquired, settling into a comfortable chair while Aly fetched water and wine."Gale brought me some meds; I'm feeling better now. It must've been something I ate," Aly explained, pouring wine for Kim and herself."Work's been hectic lately. I've been chasing after this big business deal. Thankfully, it's all coming together tomorrow," Aly shared, relieved at the impending resolution."That's fantastic news! I'm here to support you every step of the way," Kim offered enthusiastically."I've missed our time together, Kim. How's Jamal? What's new with you two?" Aly inquired, genuinely interested in her friend's life."Jamal's amazing, Aly. He's brought so much joy into my life, and we're doing really well," Kim replied wit

37.Aly strutted into the office with high spirits. Today was the day she signed the deal with one of the largest beauty companies in New Jersey. She took out her phone as she sat at her desk to see if she had received any notifications or messages from anyone. She remembered her phone buzzing last night, but she didn’t check who it was from.She had received countless messages from her friends and family wishing her well, but it was one message that caught her eye. A message from Bazyli. The message read : “ Hi Alyona, I hope you’ve been good? Yes, please. I’m open to having a conversation whenever you want. Goodnight and sleep well.” She was stunned.“ Hi Bazyli, I’m well, and yourself? Will 3pm my time and 10 p.m your time be great for you?” she sent it, waiting for a reply from him.~~~~~“ Are you sure you want to come down?” Kim asked her cousin when he told her he had to be in New Jersey in a few hours. “ I didn’t want to, but I had to. There’s someone who wants to invest in

“You can, but you know I’m right, right?” Xara said to her daughter as she walked into the kitchen behind her. Elon had married, and Giada and Jaxon were off to college. Aly had built a solid brand for herself, and over the years, she had been able to achieve her dreams. Her brand was one of the most recognized in Jersey City, NJ. Ever since her father died, Aly hasn't been interested in any relationships. She spent most of her time building her brand, which is now successful. What was left now was for her to get a man in her life because she wasn’t getting any younger. “Know what, Ma?” She rubbed her temples, waiting for a response, knowing full well what her mother was trying to say. She knew she needed a man, but the question was, who? Most of these men were egoistic, rude, and annoying, and they weren’t ready for any serious commitment. She didn’t want that for herself. She wanted more. A love like her parents own or something similar. “You need a man, Aly.” Xara pointed it

“You need to tell her before she finds out, Bazyli,” his cousin said, opening the fridge to get a bottle of water.“We’ve been through this already, Kimora," he said, skillfully flipping the stir fry he was making.“I know, but according to you, she’s not like the others. She’s not invested in wealth, fame, and all that crap. She’s already made a name for herself. So telling her is just ideal. You know how women react when they find out that you lied.”"Yes, Kimora, I’ll tell her soon,” he said, dramatically rolling his eyes at her.Kimora was a runway model and had worked with Alyona a couple of times. She loved her work culture and personality, and she wasn’t happy her cousin’s actions were going to end up hurting her and may even ruin her work relationship with Aly.Kimora started modeling at the age of 12. It was her passion to do so, and she was glad her Asian parents didn’t talk her out of it or convince her to do something else.At 25, she was working with most of the big fashi

“ Hey, you.”“ Hi, did I keep you waiting?” he asked, sitting at their table.“ Um…”"Waiter, can we get the menu?” He cut her off before she could complete her sentence.She really liked him but was getting fed up with the way he always treated her. She understood he wasn’t ready for love yet, but that didn’t give him the opportunity to treat her badly. “ You know what? I’m sick and tired of you treating me like some piece of trash. I did you no wrong, yet you treat me like a nobody. You’re a great guy deep down, and I know it. I’ve tried Calvin; you know I have, yet you keep pushing me away and treating me like trash, and I’ve had enough of it.” Kimora said as she picked up her bag.“ I know you’re afraid and still hurting, but you need to heal. If you do and you still want me, you know where to find me. Until then, it’s see you later,” she gave him a peck on his cheek and walked away, leaving him wondering what had just happened.“Are you ready to order, sir?”“ Yes , yes, get me

"Hey, Ma,” Jax said on the phone. “Hi baby, how’s school?” Xara inquired. She was currently on a trip with Penny. Alianna and Val were both caught up with ‘something important’ so they couldn’t make it to Bora Bora with them; they were simply missing out on Xara and Penny's tropical paradise. Despite their absence, they couldn't resist the impulse to call their friends and live vicariously through their wonderful trip. “School’s fine; I'm just missing you. Are you good? Eating well and sleeping well?” He asked, genuinely concerned. “ I’m fine, Jaxon, and yes, I am eating well and living well. Currently in Bora Bora with Penny sipping cocktails on a yacht,” “ Oh, okay. I’m glad you’re fine, Mama.” “ How are things between you and Giada? Are you good?” she asked out of the blue. “ Yes, yes. She was here last week to visit me," he smiled. He was glad he had been able to restore the broken relationship he had with his sister. "Surprise, surprise," one of the bartenders said as Aly
