Abigail admired the sun through her amber tinted sunglasses. She was on the rooftop of her favorite restaurant. It had been ages since she went out just by herself without the kids and truth be told she had not really planned to go anywhere after she finished from work, her plan was to pick up her kids from Maya, then tuck them into bed and reward herself with a relaxing bath in her Jacuzzi. But when Stephanie came barging into her office with a promise of sponsoring her lunch she couldn't exactly refuse. Taking her champagne from the table She took a small sip and proceeded to bask in the sun. She turned as she heard footsteps to see Stephanie walking back to their table. "You took a while in there. Got lost?" "I was there for 5 minutes!" Stephnanie countered, smoothing her short skirt before taking her seat. "Nope, you left at about 5:19 , its 5:31." "Oh my God, no wonder your workers can't stand you, you are a fucking control freak." Stephanie yelled throwing hee hands up
"So what do you think?" Marcel asked, concluding his story. He told his sister everything, from the first time he met Abigail to the proposal. By the time he was done Hailey had gone through several different emotions most of which was disbelief. "Are you fucking joking, of course you are going to take it" The look on Hailey's face suggested that it should be obvious what her brother should do. Hailey had always been a head first kid. Marcel knew this but he always admired her for it and how quick she made decisions and how rarely it ever backfired. She was only sixteen and she had acquired so much that Marcel was more of a proud father rather than an older brother. Out of his three sisters, Marcel was closest to Hailey. She was his little baby sister, feisty and strong-headed just like their late mother. "You think so?" Marcel asked, running his fingers through his hair like he was unsure if it was a good idea. "Do I? bro, you can't possibly be thinking of passing up an o
A bouquet of flowers arrived at Abigail Weston's office on Monday morning. She was busy getting ready for the monthly board meeting when Walter burst into her office holding a huge rose bouquet that covered his face and almost the top half of his body. He was doing his best not to look surprised at what he was carrying as he placed the flowers on a brown marble table close to the entrance."This came for you ma'am." Abigail looked at the bouquet of flowers as if any moment it would sprout out snakes and bite her. "For me?" She questioned, her tone flat. She was still staring cautiously at the flowers."Who are they from?""A Mr Marcel Williams Ma." Walter read the card out loud.Walter handed the card to her and Abigail took it, dismissing Walter.*Start your week with a bouquet of flowers and enjoy good fortune.* Abigail's brows furrowed in confusion. What did that even mean?? She thought.A tiny piece of paper fell from the card and she bent to pick it up. "In honor of our contrac
It was a Tuesday evening and Marcel had just come back from his evening run. All he wanted to do was take a shower as he was sweaty. Wiping sweat off his forehead and with the anticipation of getting into the shower, he opened the door to his apartment to find his sister, Hailey on his couch. "Hey Bro." Hailey smiled at her brother as soon as he entered. Marcel jumped in surprise, cursing under his breath. He had not expected to meet her there. Of course he decided to give her a key to his apartment. He briefly regretted his decision. "What the hell are you doing here?" He asked a slight annoyance in his voice. "What I can't come say hi to my favorite brother anymore?" She asked. "Wow, money really do change people." She added huffing. "Why didn't you call first at least?" He groaned internally, didn't need any of snide remarks. "I have to call to be able to get into your house now? You gave me a spare key!" "You know sometime I regret giving you a spare key to my apartment."
Marcel walked past Eustas who was holding the door for them, into the study. Hailey towed closely behind him looking out of place. She wore a Blue Jean and grey T shirt and held a back pack. Marcel wore something similar, A T shirt and Jeans. He locked eyes with Abigail who was sitting behind her desk, and smiled, Abigail didn't reciprocate his smile.. even though her eyes were fixedated on him. She watched as he approached her, like a hawk would watch his prey before striking. Her hair was in a bun again, Marcel was almost convinced that the bun was permanently glued to her head because of how often she wore it. She wasn't wearing any make up or if she was he couldn't tell. She truly is a beautiful woman. Marcel couldn't understand for the life of him why she would need to pay someone to act as her husband. There were plenty of men who'd be lucky to have her despite her rude nature. As he got closer he noticed another woman sitting beside Abigail. A slim curvy woman with curly
Abigail sat at the edge of the couch looking uncomfortable and out of place as she waited for Marcel in his apartment. She was surprised at how small it was, she didn't realize houses could be this tiny. The living room was significantly smaller than her bathroom. how do people live like this?... She pondered. She glanced around, surveying the place... though it was small but it was well decorated for a man's place. Her eyes moved around the room, wondering if at any moment the building would cave in and trap her inside. When she had stopped by this morning to pick Marcel up, for shopping, she didn't think she would have to be kept waiting and worse in a tiny box but when he said he had to shower, she couldn't exactly refuse even though it irked her. She hated people that did not have regard for time, after much persuasion from Marcel she had decided to wait in his building till he showered and changed out of his running clothes. How long does it take one to shower? She mused q
"Where are you going?" Abigail asked in a hushed tone, looking side to side to make sure nobody heard her. Marcel who was already marching towards Rachel turned back to answer her question. "To confront her." "That's a terrible idea. Sit back down." "No." He turned to move again but Abigail held his hands, halting him. "Trust me you don't want to do this." Abigail said. Marcel stared down at her and then sat down. "What exactly were you planning to say to her when you got there?" "Ask what she's doing here." "Obviously, she's supposed to be at work right now." Abigail chuckled. Marcel stared at her confused. "Is something funny Miss Weston?" "Well, yes. You would have just succeeded embarrassing yourself, if she has a plausible reason for being here, you'll end up annoying her and looking like a fool and if she doesn't.. she'll lie to you. In both scenarios you'd be made to look silly. I suggest you watch her from here, see if she does anything suspicious before confronting her
"It's your wedding day bro, maybe smile a little." Hailey said, arranging Marcel's tie. She was wearing a mini blue gown that Abigail got for her and she was excited. More excited than her brother was.Marcel wore a black tuxedo, his hair was made to fall a little over his face and his shoes were the darkest shades of black. He had his hands beside him balled into fists. He didn't realize it until Hailey pointed it out. His head was plagued with the thought of Racheal. It was a week after lunch with Abigail and he confronted her and she had gotten mad.Granted he had been less than tactical in his approach but that was because he was hurt. She had stormed out furious at him. She has not picked any of his phone calls since then and Marcel was worried. He knew she was okay but he was scared she'd do something that would jeopardize their relationship again."It's Rachel, we had an argument a few days ago." He finally admitted. "You are choking me Hails." His hands went up the collar
