A knock came. Red looked up from his laptop and answered, “Come in.”And then Juliet stepped in, not in her usual oversized hoodie or sweatpants, but instead in thick denim pants and a loose top.Red stared at her from head to toe, a big smile tugging at his lips. She looked so beautiful, so happy, so healthy … And he loved this.“Damn! You are looking gorgeous, Dove.” He rose to his feet and stood before her.Juliet smiled, pushing some strands of her hair behind her ear. “I went shopping with Aliyah, and so we picked plenty of this and many more.”“This is beautiful, dearie.” He took one of her hands and twirled her around. Her rear was covered by the top she wore, but he was sure those jeans hugged her curves perfectly. His smile widened, relieved that her top hid what belonged only to him…. What was meant for his eyes only.“Uhmm,” Juliet started, clearing her throat, “I figured you might not like it if… uhmm… my… uhm was showing. When I tried on a shorter top, it was showing.”
Daniel Malvern pushed open the door, his gaze landed on Aliyah who was packing her stuff from the office that used to be hers.Aliyah gathered her things with tears brimming and falling down her face …. She finally lost the company her father had left her, she was sure her father would be disappointed.“I am sure our father will roll in his grave, seeing the daughter he so much believed in become this irresponsible and a thief.” He mocked as he walked to the big executive swiveling chair.Aliyah ignored his words, she didn't acknowledge his presence, she continued packing her stuff.But the words echoed in her ears again…. I am sure our father will roll in his grave, seeing the daughter he so much believed in become this irresponsible and a thief.Those words went straight to her heart, piercing her it deep, she clenched her fists as tears rolled down her cheeks all the more.“You should have accepted it from the start that you are not capable of handling the company, it would have sa
Valerie stepped into the hall filled with students, her three new minions following behind.She deliberately made sure her heels made so much noise, calling the attention of everyone.Heads turned and soon phones’ cameras began snapping, she smirked in pride.“Damn! See those shiny heels!”“From her head to her feet screams expensive!”“Ofcourse! That's what you get when you are engaged to Alward Justin and then you are both an actress and a model!”“She is so beautiful!”The comments kept flying around, Valerie flipped her long hair to reveal her beautiful looking earrings and matching necklaces.“Wow! I wish to be Valerie!”“Damn! Those earrings and matching necklace are sooo expensive!” She squared her shoulders in arrogance and matched to the table reserved for her and her minions which was at the front.Valerie stood behind the seat, she nudged one of the minions to clean it up the latter hurriedly obeyed, while another of her minions gently took her clutch so she could sit.Vale
“Why didn't you want me around when you were at the hospital?” Red asked.They had both settled to watch a movie but his mind wasn't on the movie, he wanted to talk with her but he had been thinking on how to start the conversation…. Well he just has to start from somewhere.Juliet looked up from Red's chest, she sat straight and exhaled.“At some point I knew you must have overheard when I told Aliyah and I feel bad for saying that because you have been very helpful and supportive. I am really sorry.”Red nodded with a smile. “It's fine, Dove.” He adjusted himself as he took her hands in his, “I want to hear about it. Please can you tell me about it? Please.” He pleaded, Juliet recoiled, she was about to remove her hands from his but he held on to them firmly.“Dove, I don't know if you know this but I am very concerned about you. I was so worried out of my mind. I tried to ask Aliyah but she won't tell me, she said you might get mad if she told me. I then understood that it might n
Romero's phone ding just right beside him on the table, he shifted his focus from the documents he was reading and took the phone, his brows knitted together as he saw that it was the same unknown number as before.He clicked open the message and it read; You think you are mighty, you are not. It would crumple before you. Just watch.There was another one and it read; You won't know what hit you.His frown deepened all the more… He had been receiving these messages for some time now …. How the hell did this fool get his number? Amongst many things private to him, his phone number was one.He took his phone and read those messages again… just as before he became bothered, normally he wouldn't have been, but now his little wife was in the picture.His phone rang, he wiped the answer icon seeing it was Wilson, his assistant.“Good day sir.” Wilson greeted, “The package is ready sir, do we deliver it now or wait till tomorrow morning?”Romero glanced up at the clock …. 10 : 30 pm. “Now,
One hand punched in the codes, the other hand pressed his phone to his ear.“Wilson, this better be good.” Romero said sternly, not waiting for his assistant to speak. It has been days, there was still no solution to the issues that his Ocean was facing and he wasn't happy with that.There was a beat of silence from the other end. Romero's frown deepened.“It seems you don't like your job anymore, Wilson.” The door dinged and opened.“Sir. I am sorry. I am still working on it. But I’m sure we will hit our heads soon. Very soon sir.” Wilson said, picking his words wisely and carefully.“Fine.” Romero scoffed and ended the call, he then pushed his door wider and stepped in.The billionaire halted, his instincts kicked in … someone had definitely gained entrance to his house…. quickly his hand went to the hidden holster under his tux.His hand gripped the gun, ready to pull out and fire at the intruder but then it came … a very familiar scent danced under his nose and suddenly the light
