Today, they did not want to spend the night at the Williams Mansion with alot of guests present but the old man insisted they spend the night. She was amazed at how the old ancestral home of her husband was maintained. Still retaining its original set up but also looked clean and modern it was beautiful. Though she saw the beauty but she was not in the right frame of mind to appreciate it.Leo held her hand as two servants led them upstairs to the third floor at the right hand side of the spiral spider web stairs. From the floor you could see the entire sitting area standing at the rails above.Tightly holding her hand, Leo could not Fathom what had happened at the party but he knew definitely something was wrong with his brother. The way he was looking at his wife was not normal. There was a sense of Jeolousy as well as his eyes were full of love and a tinge of pain. He knew his wife well. She hid her emotions well but he felt her tension when he was introducing his brother to her.Like any man, there was an alert when the two met and the way they behaved around each other. There must've been something.He was eager to know what was going on but he did not want to startle her. Back in the room, it was so beautiful. It was huge room but with old but clean furniture. It was not really bad but compared with the set of furniture they have at their new home, this was old fashioned. She took in everything in her mind as she admired his sense of style. He was a man of fashion and had a mind of a genius" Are you okay" Leo walked behind her and enbraced her from the back.No one would believe the cold CEO and the domineering man out there was that loving to his wife. But what he showed to the party is what he does daily to his wife. He showers her with love and affection like no other. He wished he could do more for her. Only he knew why he chose her and why he loved her. Even Chloe was clueless. Everytime he looked at her, he was reminded of that one time a small girl's bravery saved his life in a ghastly accidentHe felt like he owed her his life. It all belonged to her and no one elseAs Chloe leaned back into Leo's embrace, she couldn't shake off the feeling of unease that had settled over her. The revelation of her ex-boyfriend being Leo's brother had thrown her off balance, and she struggled to make sense of the conflicting emotions swirling inside her."I'm fine, Leo," she replied, her voice barely above a whisper. "It's just been a lot to take in tonight."Leo tightened his grip around her, his touch offering her a sense of comfort and stability. "I understand, Chloe. I'm here for you, no matter what. We'll figure this out together."She turned to face him, searching his eyes for reassurance. In that moment, she was reminded of the unwavering support and love Leo had always shown her, even in the face of unexpected challenges."Thank you, Leo," she said, mustering a small smile. "I don't know what I'd do without you."Leo brushed a strand of hair away from her face, his gaze filled with tenderness. "You'll never have to find out. I'll always be by your side."As they stood together in the grandeur of the old mansion, Chloe felt a glimmer of hope amidst the turmoil. With Leo's unwavering support, she knew they could navigate the complexities of the situation. But deep down, she couldn't shake the feeling that there were still unanswered questions and secrets waiting to be unraveled.She wantted so much to open up to Leo and tell him all about her and Ryan but something deep inside prevented her. Each word she wanted to utter was blocked. Leo knittd his eyes from behind her but quickly changed his facial expression. He sensed whatever was weighing down on her was huge and she found it difficult to discuss with him. He was going to to give her timeHe knew how tired she mustve been from their travel to the party and also all the standing. And here she was standing in the midlle of the room in his arms on heels. He slowly lifted her gaining a suprise sound from Chloe and she held him tightly. He placed her at the edge ofthe bed as he slowly remove the heels from her feet. There was a slight red mark at the corner of her small toe.Lovingly, Leo stroke it and walked into the bathroom. He took off the coat, shoes and wore slippers . He opened the buttons of his shirt one by one revealing a beautifully toned body to his wife. she was looking at him with so much love as she took in his every action. He switched on the hot water into the tub. He didnt entirely remove his shirt but his chest was exposed. There was a knock at the door. He didnt look suprised at all and walked out of the room to open the door. He walked to the door just as sexy as he was in front of his wife.At the door stood a young beautiful maid holding a huge box as well as other shopping bags" Sir... I..." She begun to talk but stummered looking at his chest. Her face was all red. she blushed as words escaped from her mouth. If there was something that irritated Leo was someone looking at him with those eyes. He was loosing his cool as his facial expression turned frosty" What are you lookin at?" He startled the confused girl as she tried to regain her composure, " Did you get everything I asked for?" she responded very fast and scared" Yes sir... I " She wanted to say more but the door was slammed on her face.At the end of the corrider, a man stood there taking in all that transpired. He clenched his fist and walked to the next roomLeo walked back into the room holding the huge box. He went to the bed and opened it. Inside was a pair of red nightie plus a beautiful dress. Chloe wondered when he ordered the dress and what was up with the sexy nightie. Looking at all the missing parts, Chloe blushed and looked at him" Was this the only night wear you could find?" Looking at her confused husband, she held the red showy night dress to her husband. He looked suprised and confused at the same time. He indeed ordered a sexy night wear but not this exposed. But he liked it anywayHis facial expression changed from confused to amused with a mixture of an evil grin. His expression showed he could eat her alive
As the servant led the old man to his favorite working area, the bedroom appeared so vast that it resembled a penthouse. It encompassed three rooms: his office, a resting area, a kitchen, and a bedroom, equipped with everything he might require in case of an emergency.Mr. Williams couldn't contain his happiness as he smiled, reflecting on the joy he felt at seeing his grandson after such a long time, even though they had spoken. Witnessing Leo's marriage brought him immense happiness, although there was an underlying worry. Nevertheless, the worry paled in comparison to the joy that filled his heart.Millan, his daughter-in-law, held his arm and assisted him upstairs to his room. They paused on the steps, their attention drawn by the hearty laughter emanating from Leo's room. It had been ages since they had heard him laugh or even smile. The old man's approval of his new granddaughter-in-law was exceedingly high, bringing a smile to Millan's face. Her heart melted upon hearing her so
Today was a special day for the Williams, the wealthiest family in the country of Mali. Not only was it the birthday of the family patriarch, Old Macdonald Williams, but their eldest grandson was also returning home after five years. The occasion became even more significant as the eldest grandson was bringing his wife with him. Leo Williams had adamantly refused to get married for ten long years, so the old man was overjoyed and agreed to arrange a grand banquet to celebrate the occasion. The anticipation and excitement extended to every member of the family. Milan Williams, Leo's mother, was thrilled to see her son after such a long absence. Although she wasn't entirely happy about his sudden marriage, she was eager to meet the woman who had managed to melt Leo's cold heart. Milan and Leo had never been particularly close, as he had always been distant from everyone since he was young. No one dared to touch his belongings or even approach him without risking his wrath. "Make sure e
"Chloe...no way. She wasn't this beautiful. Perhaps they just bear a resemblance," Ryan replied, but his heart was pounding hard. He couldn't help but think about what he had done to her. Over the years, he had thought of her more than he cared to admit. She was just a village girl, nothing special. He repeated these thoughts to himself over and over again. There was no way his brother's wife could be his ex-girlfriend, or so he desperately tried to convince himself. Ryan stood in the brightly lit room, his mind racing with conflicting emotions. The sight of Chloe, or someone who looked strikingly similar to her, had stirred up a whirlwind of memories and regrets. He couldn't deny the undeniable pull he felt towards her, even after all these years. It was as if fate was playing a cruel joke on him, bringing her back into his life in the most unexpected way. Chloe had always been a cold woman. They had met in college when they just joined, where life moved at a leisurely pace and dre
a Midst her thoughts, Chloe could only imagine what was going on in their mind. What was he going to do. Now she has become an elder in the family and he had to listen to her. It was ironic how things have turned. She remembered what happened that time as if it was yesterday. Everything come into her mind swiflty The loud slamming of the door could be heard through the apartment floor as a woman ran out of the apartment. She ran to the elevator and bumped into an old woman who was just getting out "sorry" she apologized to the woman in a trembling tone. The tremor in her voice could not escape the old woman. She was concerned. Trying to reach out to the young lady she turned back to her but she had already entered the elevator and pressed the ground floor button. "Hey hey are you okay?" she reached out her hand to stop the elevator from closing but it was too late. She shook her head and muttered to her self "this young lads are always on the run, can't they solve their issues with
He got out and ran after Chloe. Something about her attracted him. He carried her back into the car and asked the driver to drive away " Sir. I don't think it's right to take a stranger with you. Why not pay a taxi to take her to the hospital." Raphael "Shut up and drive to the hospital" All this while Chloe Richards was not in her right mind which seems like she was crazy. He looked at her face but could not determine if it's the rain or tears At the hospital he paid for her bills and asked they take care of her. Not before leaving his slippers with her. He left as soon as he confirmed she was okay Raphael looked at his cold and Ruthless boss and wondered why he did all that. Chloe lost consciousness in between the treatment which concerned the doctors. Nothing seemed to be medically wrong with her. They concluded she was heartbroken All through the darkness, Chloe remembered knocking on the door but nobody opened. She then took out her key and opened the apartment door. Ryan
