MasukA man walked out to the balcony to breathe in the fresh air, he really needs that now.The party was still ongoing but he couldn’t get himself to concentrate anymore, well not until he had seen her on the red carpet and then she had walked in looking as sexy as the devil’s wife. He placed his hand and the bottom of his wine glass on the handrail; he occasionally brought his wine to his lips, taking little sips time and time again.His thoughts were running wild and he didn’t want it so and he tried to clear his mind, the way she smiled at Xavier hooded his memory and he hated it. He looked back at the room were a lot of people were dancing, some talking and laughing and he spotted her, she was now talking to a man he knows all too well and laughing. He saw the man leaned down and whispered something in her ear and she laughed. His fingers involuntarily tightened on the wine stem that it almost snapped, his knuckles turned white and he sucked in a deep breath to calm himself.He turned
After waiting for seven days, seven full days, a week and Lillian never returned rather her number ended up switched off after two days. Shane knew he had to stop lying to himself, he knew it was time to accept the truth he had refused since the very night she didn’t return, Lillian has left him, his worst fear has finally happened.She had left him because she believed he has nothing more, she had failed the test and his mother had been right all along, it had always been about the money, never about him.His heart broke and he did the one thing he thought he couldn’t do in his life again, he cried.When he finally got hold on his emotion, he packed his bag and when leaving the house, he left his heart along, because never will he make a fool of himself again.When he got home, the servants were surprised to see him looking haggard, “Sir Shane,” Paulina had called out in shock but he didn’t answer nor looked at her. He went upstairs and straight to his mother’s study.Margaret looked
When Lillian opened the door, she was surprised to see Shane because she often knows when he was back with his car, she looked behind him and not seeing the vehicle, she frowned, only then did she notice the bag he was carrying. She glanced up at him, her eyes spoke of so many things which he couldn’t keep up with. Just as he was preparing himself on how to break the news to her, he saw tears trailing down her cheeks, “flower, what is it?” He ended up asking.“She did it didn’t she? She threw you out, she took everything away from you,” she had already broken into a sob, “this is all my fault, this is all my fault,” she kept repeating as she walked into the house.Shane followed her inside immediately, he drop his bag on the floor and wrap her up in his arms, “no flower, it isn’t, it just happened. Don’t blame yourself.”“Why, why does she hate me so, what have I ever done to her, why does she hate me like this. She did this because you have been staying with me right? She threw you o
By the end of the day, Shane left his office after saving all his files and keeping important documents when he would easily find them when he returns from his unexpected vacation like his mother said. He walked to his car in the underground parking lot, he got in and reversed from lot, just as he drove to the front of the company, he saw his mother’s driver, he was waving for him to stop and he did, he lowered the window and looked at him, his raised eyebrow asked at his question.“I’m sorry sir but ma’am told me to get your car key,” the driver conveyed the message without looking Shane in the eyes.Shane’s eyes clouded in anger, he looked behind the driver to his mother’s car to see her already behind the wheel, she intends to drive herself today while her driver drives his own car. He cursed and let out a few profanities before grabbing his briefcase and getting down from the car. How can she be doing this to him, how does she expect him to be without a car?Sparing not even glanc
It’s been five days since Abigail’s death and funeral. Shane had been staying with Lillian since then, offering his presence whenever she needs him. He had offered to rent her a new apartment so that it would be easier for her to let go but she had refused, saying that she had been raised in the house and that she wouldn’t want to leave it so soon. She wanted to still feel her mother’s presence before saying goodbye to the house.Shane had understood her and agreed to her wishes. He leaves for work every morning and returns to her every evening, he had no problem sleeping in the house, even though it doesn’t have much space to the ones he had learnt to leave in all his life, he adapted pretty well to the little house.He was in his office when his secretary knocked and entered, he looked up at her, “sir, ma’am wants to talk to you,” she announced.He nodded once and she left the office, he stared at his computer, seconds passed before he saved his file and shut down the computer, he s
Lillian woke up at someone tapping on the table, she sat up groggily and seeing the pretty black face staring at her, she wondered where she was. “Dear, you have been here for a long time, are you lost?” The beautiful black woman asked her.“Huh, lost? No em..” remembering where she was and why, she looked out the glass door to be blessed with the sight of seeing Shane talking to a black haired woman, she quickly stood up, making the elderly woman gasped at her action, “I’m sorry ma’am, I have to go now, thank you,” she ran to the door and out of the café.Not bothering to look before crossing the street, Lillian ran through just as Shane was walking the woman to a car that appeared from the underground parking lot, she believe, “Shane!” she called and saw him froze before turning to her side.There was shock on his face before it was crowded with worry, “Lillian,” he turned to the woman beside him, “please forgive me Mrs. Bougois, I’m afraid I won’t be seeing you to your car.”“It’s
