51: Forever begins now
"If I am to be fallen into love, I will.
And if as a result I will appear to bestupid, disillusioned, and of poorjudgment, I will. And I would bedamned if I cared what other people think. For I would rather be thought of as all of these things, than not love. If in loving, I become the naked woman on the horse, I will ride that horse with my head held high. This is my spirit. I am unbreakable."C. JoyBell C.Gabriel slowly touches my arm and I turn my attention to him, "Your name in the document is Alexander Black, not Paige." He points out.
"Yes, Lucas expressed how he wanted you to keep your name and add his only if you wanted to," I answer before getting lost in my memories.

His Dark Desires 52: Pregnancy, proposal and family
“It’s okay not to be perfect. It’s okay to make mistakes. It’s okay to do something that you wish you hadn’t done because if we don’t do those things, we never grow.”~Dawn StanyonGabriel and I step outside and walk towards the parking lot where I had parked my car earlier. It is almost eleven o clock and I need to be in the office now and see to some work since I'm still the one in charge of running the company based in Nigeria. This all feels weird, this company is mine, with my name on it and it's going to take a while to get used to that."I'll need to read into the document further and it might take a few days Mrs Paige," Gabriel explains, holding onto the documents securely.I nod my head understandingly, "It's fine, take all the days you need and you can call me Alex, you know that.""Mrs Paige sounds
His Dark Desires 53: When rumour flies
"They say a good love is one that sits you down, gives you a drink of water, and pats you on top of the head. But I say a good love is one that casts you into the wind, sets you ablaze, makes you burn through the skies and ignite the night like a phoenix; the kind that cuts you loose like a wildfire and you can't stop running simply because you keep on burning everything that you touch! I say that's a good love; one that burns and flies, and you run with it!"C. JoyBell C.The next few weeks that passes are the most hectic and yet the happiest I've ever had. Rogue and I set our wedding date to the 27th which is next week and on that day, I walk down the aisle and become Rogue's wife. I am free and with Lucas blessings to move on with whoever it is I choose to be with and no one could make me happier than Rogue. Everything is finally falling into place and I can't be
His Dark Desires 54: About the wedding
"You know that feeling when your head says no, but your heart says yes? It’s wrong, but it feels so right? I wish we could be together." ~Anonymous"What are you doing here?" I ask the obvious because although we can barely keep our hands to ourselves at home, it is a bit unusual for Rogue to come and see me during working hours."Do I need a reason to come see my fiancee and our unborn child?" He asks, running his hand over my small, hidden, baby bump and shivers down my spine in the process."Not really," I shake my head and bite my lips."I came to check up on you two, make sure you guys are fine and not changing your mind about the wedding yet." His eyes give up the humour his words didn't.I laugh and smack his shoulder a little, "We are fine, don't worry about us and as for the wedding we are in it together."
His Dark Desires 55: Poorly handled engagement party
"You only need one man to love you. But him to love you free like a wildfire, crazy like the moon, always tomorrow, sudden like an inhale and overcoming like the tides. Only one man and all of this."C. JoyBell C..To say that the party will be a disaster would be an understatement. We had initially set the time for the party to be at 8 p.m. and last for an hour and 30 minutes and it's barely 8:30 p.m. and the hall is already crawling with guests. I cannot bring myself to leave my room for the fear of running into someone I don't want to talk to go see someone I don't want to meet. I barely know half of those invited she and I don't know if I will be able to fake a smile just to make them happy. I am therefore locked up in my room like a princess trapped in a castle and waiting to be saved and pacing around like someone out of cont
His Dark Desires 56: The doing of jealousy
“I refused to believe that love could take any other form than mine: I measured love by the extent of my jealousy, and by that standard, of course, she could not love me at all.” ~Graham GreeneThe End of the AffairHavana is in a red mini gown that helps showcase her toned long legs and she has a black three-inch heel on and her hair is a medium afro which brings out her full face. She's having a mild make-up on but yet she is as beautiful as ever. Zander is standing beside her, wearing a white long sleeve with three of its upper button undone, which slightly exposes his mid-chest up to the eyes of everyone. He has a black suit on top of it and his hair is in a neat bun and I must admit he does look good. Havana is completely comfortable with it and that's all that matters."What are you two love birds beaming about?" I ask as I get close to them."Zande
His Dark Desires 57: Age doesn't stop love
"She wanted something else, something different, something more. Passion and romance, perhaps, or maybe quiet conversations in candlelit rooms, or perhaps something as simple as not being second."~Nicholas SparksWe work together to where Felix and Agatha are and taking a deep breath I make my presence known to the couple."Agatha, Felix I'm so glad you two could make it!" I say, smiling widely at them.Agatha pulls me closer and hugs me, and when she pulls away, she begins to speak, "Are you kidding us? It's a delight to be here. When we received your invitation letter, I told Felix we are going and any suggestions you have is welcome. Our last born Rachel loves you and we are here to show you that we stand by you as well as you begin this journey in marriage.
His Dark Desires 58: You're breaking my heart
“You cannot tell your mind what to feel and not to feel when you are jealous. It is like a poison that will slowly kill you.”~AnonymousI pull at the tissue and wipe my flowing tears, trying to somehow save my make-up, at least what's left of it.I hear a soft knock in the door and I jump a little but remain silent. "Alex, I know you're in there, please open up."I place my back against the bathroom door as though trying to hold him off, "Go away to your friend whom you were casually laughing with instead of your fiancée on your engagement party night.""You're jealous" he points out and if I didn't know better I'd say he's amused at that."Fuck Rogue Von Quaint." I shoot back acidly.There's silence on his end and I hear a low growl before he speaks up, "I've been waiting for you to do that for w
His Dark Desires 59: The friends we make
"The saddest people I've ever met in life are the ones who don't care deeply about anything at all. Passion and satisfaction go hand in hand, and without them, any happiness is only temporary, because there's nothing to make it last."~Nicholas Sparks.Rogue and I make our way out of the bathroom together, his hand possessively holding onto the small of my waist as we walked back to the crowd of a waiting guest and pass them silently he guide me up the stairs. Once we are there, he lets go of my waist and takes a glass of wine and a knife from an awaiting waiter and hit the glass lightly but loud enough to get the attention of the rest guest in the hall. As he gets their attention he dropped the knife, the waiter walks away and takes hold of my waist before speaking."Good evening ladies and gentlemen friends and family I would like to welc
