CHAPTER 40
After the stunt we pulled at the cafeteria, Andre took me home. To say I am grateful for him is an understatement, I am extremely glad that the plan is already working in just a day and I even got to spend time with him, not like I didn’t spend almost all my time with him before this plan. Andre is a genius, I thought to myself, watching him in admiration.I can't wait to get to the office the next day to hear the latest news and to see the look of defeat on Baxter's face. I really hope Baxter will get to believe the baby isn't his when the news gets to him.
"Why are you staring at me that way?" Andre glances at me briefly before looking away."I just can't believe the plan is already working, Andre", I chuckle in excitement."I told you it will, didn't I?""Yes, you did. You are a genius."He laughs richly and I smile at him. "Are you happy?""Yes, I am. Thanks Andre." He nods in reply.We both fall silent before I dRelated chapters

CHAPTER 41I feel my mood of the day before always influences my mood for the next day. Well, it happens to me most of the time, I don't know if it's the same with every other person but it sure is for me.I walk into the office with a new found confidence and a big smile on my face. A smile that I am not faking, I am really happy and at peace with myself because finally with the help of Andre I've put to rest the rumours that were spreading about me. I don't need to be troubled about my growing stomach anymore.The only thing I am worried about is Andre's parents. Andre has talked to me and told me not to worry about them but I knew it always went with rich parents like his, they never thought anyone was good enough for their sons. I need to see Andre and talk to him about it. I really see no need going to meet his parents since everything is just a facade, at least to him but every moment we spend together just makes me want him more each day.I d

CHAPTER 42Despite how anxious I feel, I followed Andre behind calmly. I am trying to meet his long strides. As if noticing my discomfort in doing that, he stops walking all of a sudden, I almost run into him in my attempt to catch up with him.When I am beside him, he stretches his left hand out to me. I take it as an invitation to put my hands in his and I make sure it did lose the opportunity to hold his hand even if it is for the public. I smile in gratitude and place my hand into his, then we walk towards the hall where the press conference is going to take place, with our hands interlocked.I wish this is all true but I know it isn't. Andre is a caring man that any woman will love to have. My admiration for him has increased this past few months. The way he shows me care as if I am all that matters is enough to make I fall for him even more.He is doing all this for me, in spite of his busy schedules and prestige. He is doing it for me so I can be h

CHAPTER 43Andre doesn't answer for a while, thinking if he should let me come up for my own interview. I am hoping he will say a loud "yes, I do mind". When he turns to look at me, I know he is looking for a sign from me, to know if I want it or not. I want to shake my hand so he can say yes to the presenter, but I am finding it hard to shake in the midst of the people who are watching my every move.Just sitting here watching Andre, knowing the interview is about me and I am the center of attraction, I am trying so hard to remain calm. I know if I go up there, I might do something embarrassing, like tripping so I will end up falling face down or stammering or saying something totally out of line. I can't do this.Andre says something to the presenter."Miss Standford, will you mind coming up stage?" She ask loudly and I feel like attacking Andre.Can't he see how much I am struggling to sit here? Can't he just use his instinct to know I am

CHAPTER 44 My phone’s continuous ringing wakes me up from my night rest. Argh, who is disturbing me on a Saturday morning. I flutter my eyes open, pick up the phone from my side drawer to see the caller id . It should be mom calling but when I see Andre's name, my eyes open wide. Why is he calling me again? Today is Saturday, isn't it? Can’t I have a Andre free day? All this spending time together is taking a toll on me. I drop the phone and snuggle into bed, covering my head with the comforter. After a while, my phone rings again and I sigh. I know I will no longer be able to sleep again. I really do not feel like talking to Andre today. What happened between us yesterday is still bugging me. I was thinking about how I am in love with my boss over Till I slept off yesterday night. Mom called me lastnight, as if knowing I needed someone to talk to, someone to tell me what to do. Ev

CHAPTER 45After Andre left yesterday he didn't call me and I didn't call him even when I knew I should have called. What was I expected to say to him if I had called? Monday went by a blur too. He hardly acknowledged my presence. He made it all about work and this made me realize the how used to his compliments I was. It was like a drug I was addicted to and I needed it. I should be the one to stop this, I should have explained to him and never had allowed him to leave on Saturday, angry. I've never seen him angry at me. Andre sent me a message yesterday after work, asking me to prepare to go see his parents this evening. I wanted to send him a message back to tell him I won't be going but I know it was going to sound wrong. He was doing all this for me. I should be kind to him, not rude and dramatic. I have to apologise. I take a shower after resting a while when I get back from work before going over to my closet to look f

CHAPTER 46I am on my way back to my office after going to a meeting with Andre to Elect Companies Limited.When he drove me off home, two days ago after the dinner with his family, I walked out without saying a word to him. He tried to follow me but I told him to go home before slamming the door on his face.At work, we don't talk to each other when alone, except when people are around. I feel bad for ignroing him but I am trying to do that because I really want to get rid of my feelings for him. I should talk to him and apologised for Saturday but I didn't because him being angry makes it easier to ignore him. I miss talking to him, I miss his kisses. When he is not around, I always feel like seeing him but when I see him, I will begin to feel angry for no reason. I try to blame it on my hormones but I know I'm more angry at myself for falling in love right out of a terrible relationship.T

CHAPTER 47The ringing sound of my phone wakes me up from my sleep. I sit upright and rest my head on the headboard before picking the call. It is Rob calling."Hello sis", he greets."Robert, how are you?" I ask him. I have forgotten about the therapy I wanted to plan for him. Everything has been a little overwhelming. I feel bad. Why can't I just be a good sister for once? Rob is supposed to come this week and I am sure he is calling because I haven't called him. I promised to call him last week."I'm cool, sis. You still sleeping?""Yeah. But I'm awake now.""Erhhmm...Freya", he stutters. I know he has something to tell."What is it, Rob?""I'm no longer coming to visit you, Freya", his voice is down."What? Why? Is It because I didn't call as promised?""No, that's not it. I know why you want me to come.""Why?""I heard mom telling Johnson that you want me to meet with a therapist. It's no

CHAPTER 48Andre sees the look on my face and grabs the phone from me. He reads the message and he stares at me for a while before he says, "Let's go."He stands up holding my hand, I take a hold of my purse and follow him to the counter where he pays for the food before we leave. We walk outside to his car. He opens the door for me and asks me to get in, before he walks to the driver's seat.My mind is in turmoil. Why does Baxter like ruining my happy moments? Why can't he just let me be?"Freya?" He shakes me."Andre", I glance at his worried face."You have to calm down, love. It's ok. So I want you to breathe in and out, ok?"I nod and exhale deeply. I realize I am barely breathing."You don't need to panic.""Ok", I inhale and exhale again."Is it working?" He ask me.I shake my head. I'm still finding it hard to breathe properly. He place his hand on my waist and pull
