42: Family drama
"Common sense can dictate a perfectly reasonable response to a situation while the love and passion duo will more often than not out muscle the most macho of men. Love and passion can destabilize an entire economy lest we forget the lesson learned from Helen of Troy."
A.I.M. LawalVincent picks his napkin and wipes his mouth, before speaking. "The business report puts us on the country's top five earning companies as of last month only following Dangote and The PIW. We have always ranked around 10th to 5th place since I was the companies CEO, and I never thought I'd say this, but I am proud of you and the effort you've put in place. I know it might mean much less to you coming from me."
"You're damn right," Rogue mutters, loud enough for everyone in the table to hear.

"You never fail to amaze me. Every day there is something new that makes me love you even more than the day before."~AnonymousI hear footsteps running down the stairs and I know it's Zander coming to get something and Havana and I share an alarmed look. I'd convinced Havana that Zander will not be coming down anymore only to end up being proven wrong. How was I to know that today of all days, he'll decide to do the exact opposite of what he normally does? "I'm not going to interrupt whatever you're not doing, just going to get a glass of water and head back to my room." He announces sharply, disappearing into the kitchen and not even bothering to look our way which is a relief.After a few moments he walks back out and walks to the stairs before pausing, he makes a quick sniff of the air, "Weird I can almost swear it's Ana's perfume." He murmurs to himself before turning over to where
His Dark Desires 47: Against all odds
Love is the expansion of two natures in such fashion that each include the other, each is enriched by the other.Felix AdlerAfter my alarm went off at 6 am, I get up to my daily exercise and workout section although in the past three weeks I've been experiencing a slight set back and weakness, I know I will kick back in no time. Once done with that, I shower and dress up. I put my long, red, Ankara gown which has a side front parting up to a little above the knee and which holds me in all the right places and displays the little curves I was blessed with. I pick out my black four-inch heels to go with it and for my hair, I decided to let loose.Today is the day I've longed for since the past two years, it's the day I finally gain my independence. Lucas final will in testament will be read today after the calculation of our set requirements, Alvin, Jacob and

You’ve got me wrapped around your finger."~Anonymous 20 minutes later"How long is the test running going to take?" I ask impatiently as the doctor who has been introduced as Zaki Tarfa opens his medical box and begins to bring out his things."It's a few minutes test, don't worry we will be out of here in no time.""We better," I mumble as I come to seat on the centre couch in the parlour.Gabriel stands and watches as Tarfa brings out a small note and scoots closer to me on the couch, "Can you tell me the symptoms you're feeling? And some of the illness you've been having?"I drag a very slow breath in before speaking, "Nauseousness, dizziness, a little fever and weakness and then today I threw up."
His Dark Desires 49: The change we need
"Love is the product of how you respond ... Love is showing your partner they're safe, you'll catch them if they fall, and you'll drop everything if they need you. Love is unconditional. Love doesn't keep score."Shane Parrish"Ten years ago.""Ten years ago?" I find myself echoing back a question, completely lost between surprise and confusion.He looks up at me, "Yes!" He responds with clear certainty.This changes everything I think I've known over the last couple of months I've known Rogue. I stopped searching up things about him because the results always were the same, nothing. Knowing that Edet knew who Rogue was ten years ago makes me wonder what other things he knows about him. I begin to wonder why rogue would not tell me about his relationship with Edet, it not too much to ask? If Edet knew him, does that mean Lucas knew Rogue ten years ago? If yes how come he hasn't said anything about it?
