Rhea opens her eyes frowning at the brightness of the room. Who turned on the lights?. She doesn't sleep with the lights on. "Are you awake? Or do you still want to sleep some more?. I can assure you it's noon already by the way". Benjamin's presence in the room confuses Rhea. " What are you doing in my room?" She asked, ignoring the headache that's about to split her head in half. Benjamin threw her a glare at the question. "I will have some clothes prepared for you, take your bath and join me for breakfast". The words that rolled off his tongue sound strange to her. Why was he talking to her that way?. Why does he sound angry?. And this is not her room!. Looking down at her clothes, her eyes widened as she realized she was still in the clothes she wore out yesterday. She hadn't changed them before going to bed. How had she gotten here?. Rhea feels her body come alive after the hot shower. She smiles at her reflection from the mirror. She was glad she had successful
The bed dipped as Jeremy lift himself out bed, his head was pounding from the worst headache he has ever experience in his life. Noticing something strange, his eyes took in the figure wrapped in bed covers on the same bed he had spent the night. He zoned out a bit, trying to figure out how he had ended up in this current frame of mind. While he was lost in thought the sleeping person stirred and suddenly she open her eyes. Her gaze was unfocused and lost for short while, until she realized where she was and flashed him a warm smile. "Good morning" Diane stretch feeling her muscle relaxed. "Why are you just standing there naked?" Diane chuckle as she felt herself blush from the appearance of the man just short distance away from her. Upon hearing her words Jeremy only just realized he was wearing nothing. "I don't think you should be bothered by it, you have seen enough of it already." "Will you join me for shower" Jeremy asked motioning towards the bathroom. Diane almost go
Rose's brow furrow when she heard the door bell rang through the quiet house. She had been preparing a meal and wasn't expecting anyone by this time of the day. Opening the door she got the biggest shock of the day. She mask her surprise by smiling at him. "Jeremy I wasn't expecting you-. "Can I come in?" He cut her off annoyed by the pleasantries. "Of course" Rose moved out of the way for him. Her palm grows sweaty as she became nervous. The last time she had set her eyes on him was when she was in Diane's room and she had been so angry that day but now he was in her house to see her!. Rose remain composed as she follow him to the living area, he remain standing even after she offered him a seat and she frown at him in confusion. "What are you up to Rose?". Hearing him say her name made her feel giddy inside. They haven't had real conversations before, it is either him calling to inform her about one or two things about Lawrence but here he was now. " Nothing serious ac
"I have something to show you, come with me" Jeremy led Diane out of the house via the back door connecting the kitchen to the garden. Diane became curious and a little nervous.She wasn't expecting any surprises today again, but here they are."Wow" Diane breathed out, mesmerized by the garden.Gentle breeze dances around her as she walks through the garden enjoying the presence of different species of flowers around her."Oh, I'm sorry. I had forgotten you wanted to show me something""What is it that you wanted me to see?". She apologized to Jeremy only to see that he was some distance away.Jeremy had stopped to watch her, he had gotten carried away while admiring her.She brought peace and tranquility to his life, despite the problem he is currently trying to solve. His love for her has continued to increase and that is why he is making this decision now."I wanted to ask you a question"He replied to her question without moving an inch from where he stood."And what is that q
Diane's POVI find it hard to tear my eyes off the diamond ring that now occupies my finger, it still feels surreal and I really need a wake up call and I know exactly where I can get it.I pick up my phone and dial Rhea's number immediately even though it is just a few minutes past eight AM and she is probably still in bed or already at work."Hey what's up babe" she picked the call faster than I expected and she sounded to be in a good mood which is surprising because I was expecting her to nag at me for calling this early like she normally does."I'm alright, what about you?" I linger as I grow nervous, I just need someone to wake me up from my dream but I am afraid the reality will be harsher than I can bear."Well… I'm good. So spill it"Why have you called?" She seemed to have sensed my nervousness over the line."I just ….missed you and I thought maybe you can come over to my place after work so that we can hang out" "I have a surprise for you by the way." I replied happil
Diane's POV "Staring at me with a shock expression is not what I need from you " I said amused.It took a couple of minutes before she responded." I wasn't expecting this sort of surprise Diane, I am utterly perplexed".She said in a somber way."So you are not happy for me?, is that it?' I asked nervously."Babe! Why won't I be happy for you?This is a delicate topic and decision. And I'm only reacting this way because I never imagined any of us to be getting married anytime soon, I am still trying to accept this news so that I can celebrate it".Her response confirms my fear, am I making the right decision?."I am very happy for you and excited about it. Don't look this way, things will work out right. Okay?" She said, wrapping her arms around me.I feel tears starting to cloud my vision, we maybe friends but we are the sisters we both never had."Oh! Before I forget there is something I want to show you" I said suddenly remembering something. "More surprises?" She asked, soundi
Diane's POV "You said you would tell me what happened but you haven't said a single word since you embarked on this mission to kill the both of us" Rhea said while I quickly parked the car.I don't even bother to park the vehicle properly. "Wait for me here, I will be out in a few minutes" I replied before she could undo her seat belt."Are you sure?"" Yes""Please don't do anything crazy"She said nervously.I prepare myself before going into the restaurant, I wish I can claw his eyes out.That asshole will smell his ass tonight."I'm over here" I followed the voice that called out to me from a few tables away. He is seated at a corner, well that's a good spot."Diane, I have to say I'm glad you decided to see me tonight" He said, and I feel my stomach turn uncontrollably. "So what would you like to eat?" He asked, gesturing towards the menu."I'm not here to eat" I said, trying not to let my anger out yet."Then…..Do you miss me?. Is that why you are here?" He asked,
Jeremy's POV "Are you threatening me?" She asked, somewhat scared. I laugh inwardly. I have to admit that watching her walk into the restaurant to meet Michael without stopping her was a hard fit for me. But seeing how things proceeded I am quite relieved. He deserves all he had coming his way. The main issue now is how to make sure Dad and mom doesn't find out about this. Uncle Miles is a shrewd man and he might have informed Dad already. "Jeremy, am I going to be jailed for this?" She asked bringing me out of my thoughts. "You are too smart for the question you just asked, what do you think will happen?" My question threw her into a deep thought. She is a smart woman, that I am very sure. I am just surprised she showed this side of her this night, it only means Michael still hold a place in her heart. "I do not know much about the law but I am also aware that I can be pardoned on some conditions". She replied turning towards me with sad eyes. "What really happe
