Ciara dropped the phone with a small smile on her face. She had been angry at him, but that phone call was enough to lift her mood. She stripped to her undies and walked into the ensuite. She had a date to prepare for!Jack walked through the quiet corridor of the hospital, the heel of his shoe clicking violently with the floor with every step he took. He was still in his office wears as he had come from work. His hands were tucked into his pocket, the sleeves if his shirt rolled to the elbow. He had a tired sexy look. He stopped in front of vip room 09, the room his father was occupying and watched him through the transparent part of the door. His father was seated on a chair, dressed in the hospital wear. He was reading through a magazine which the television in the room was left on.Harry pushed the door open and stepped in, drawing his father's attention to himself. “Good evening sir.” he greeted fhe old man, walking up to him.“My son! You're here” his father replied, patting his
***Flashback continues.“Who is the lovely little girl?” Mrs Antonio asked her husband. They were currently seated round the dining table, enjoying their dinner. Mr Antonio had taken Alexa to join the rest of the family on the dining table where she was currently munching on a cookie.“She is part of the family.” he replied simply, going for a glass of water. She stared at her husband in surprise. What did he mean by she's part of the family? She eyed him, her eyes begging for more explanation but he only nodded his head. He was going to explain to her later. They continued their dinner in awkward silence and she cleared the dining after they were done.Jack and Alexa returned back to the sitting room after the dinner while their parents went up to the room.“Something doesn't feel right, Mike” She started, immediately they both stepped into the room. She sat on the bed with many thoughts running through her mind. Her husband stood by the door, watching her with eyes that showed that h
She took gentle steps to the door and opened it, meeting a smiley faced Harry.“You're here on time” she stated with a smile, stepping out of the room.“I could never be late for this.” he replied with an infectious smile. His eyes scanned her dressing, checking her out. She was dressed in a black sleeveless dinner gown that hugged her body tightly with a slit from from her thighs downwards. She had a beautiful gold necklace round her neck with matching earrings and her hair was styled beautifully, letting it fall backwards.“You look extraordinarily beautiful today.” he complimented breathlessly, still unable to take his eyes away from her.“Thank you.” came her shy reply. She was already blushing from his intent stare all over her body. He took her hand in his' and they walked over to his car. Stopping by the passenger door in front, he opened it, guiding her slowly into the seat before closing it back. He did a little victory dance which looked funny before turning to the driver's s
“I love you” he repeated himself for clarity and she gulped, staring at him. She knew she enjoyed spending time with him, she enjoyed laughing at his jokes. But love?She had always thought love to be very sacred and was hoping to someday meet the one that would make her heart flip and finally, she had met him.“I love you too” the words slipped out of her mouth on its own accord, making Harry's eyes widen in surprise.“For real?” he asked, still in shock. He wasn't expecting her to say the words. She nodded in response and he broke into a wide smile before pulling her into a hug. They stayed in the hug for some seconds before he spoke. “I can't believe this. You just made me the happiest man today.”She smiled at him as he broke away from the hug. He held her hand as his expression suddenly turned serious. She noticed the changes in his mood and nudged him, probing him to tell. “I know you probably know many things about me, the fact that I'm a player and all that, but this one is re
Harry emerged from the hotel room dressed in black designer suits, his suitcase held securely in his right hand. He took brief graceful steps to meet up with his secretary who was patiently waiting for him along the lobby.“Ten minutes to go.” his secretary stated with a smile, looking at the watch on his wrist. “You are quite on time, sir.”Harry nodded, handing over the suitcase to his secretary before they walked out of the hotel. Ciara had returned to her house some minutes after Harry had dropped the call with his secretary that morning. They had kissed and said their final goodbye, with Harry promising to come see her soon.The car drove up and stopped in front of the hotel entrance as soon as Harry stepped out. His secretary opened the door for him and he stepped in, his secretary occupying the front seat.“The airport” his secretary announced to the driver once they were comfortably seated. —-Damian was seated in his sitting room, a half filled bottle of whiskey placed on a s
Alexa gave a little laugh as she reduced the pitch of her voice. “My flight just landed. I'm in Los Angeles right now.”“I sent a driver to pick you up with the white Lamborghini. He should be there already.” Jack replied, pinching the bridge of his nose tiredly.“Seen him already. I'll see you soon.” Alexa interjected, ending the call. She smiled broadly as she waved at the driver from where she stood. She was dressed in a black cargo pant, a white crop top and a jacket. Her hair was braided beautifully, giving her a hot star look.The driver stopped in front of her, winding down the glass. “Miss Alexa Antonio?”“Yes. That's me. I guess you're the driver my brother sent?” she replied.The driver helped her put her luggage in the car before they drove off.“How is Los Angeles? It's been months since I left.” She tried to initiate a conversation with the driver who was dressed smartly in a white shirt and black trousers. He had a clean haircut and neatly carved beards that accentuated h
“You didn't tell me you have a sister, not even a sibling,” Karen stated as they walked away from the door.“I guess we didn't hang on long enough to find out.” Jack shrugged in response.“Yeah. Right.” She responded as he opened the door for her.“That is Alexa. Alexa Ellyn Antonio. My younger sister. She's 20, studying law at texas.” he explained. “Nice. I guess that explains why she isn't aware of, you know… ” Karen stated, gesturing with her hands to make a point and Jack was quick to grab it. She was referring to their entire relationship fiasco that had gone down. After He had realized his mistakes, he paid all the blogs and media houses that carried the news to take them down.“I'll see you soon. Take care.” He pulled her into a quick hug and released her a few seconds later. They were now standing in front of her car in the parking lot. She waved at him as she got into her car before driving off.~~~“Hello,” The deep gruff voice said into the phone. “What news do you have abo
Jack made his six and a half hours journey to New York and arrived thirty minutes past five pm. The road was buzzing with life as his car eased into the hotel where he was to spend the night. It was the same hotel he owned, where a section was undergoing remodeling.He remained at the backseat of the car as he made a call to the hotel manager.“I'm at the hotel. Do we meet tonight or we meet over tea tomorrow?”“Over tea tomorrow morning is perfect. I understand that you just had a long trip.” the manager replied and he nodded, grateful for the fact that the manager was understanding.He dropped the call and stepped out of the car, walking into the hotel building. He had a personal suite in the hotel that was built only for his visits and was made out of limit to staff at the hotel. He placed his personalized card on the door and it scanned, opening up few seconds later. He dumped his bag on the bed, falling down tiredly beside it. He pulled out his shoes before walking into the ensui
