“Babe, can I call you back later? I just got out of a meeting concerning the Julius and Myres company”. Leila said in a calm tone. She was beyond stressed, she had met Harold when her life was falling apart and he picked her up and made her who she was today. She was not supposed to base her entire life and success story on a man but Harold really did a lot for her.

The day she met him, she wanted to take her own life, she was about to jump into a lagoon but someone held her back, he pulled her back and fed her then he took her to his house and she had a hot tub waiting for her with an housekeeper who assisted her to take her bath, it was all dreamy and Cinderella-ish. She only read about those sort of stories in fantasy book where Cinderella meets Prince Charming in a time of distress and she ends up being saved by him. But she was no Cinderella and Harold was no Prince Charming. He was not bad looking at all but he didn’t come close to Gavin Hasters. In short, She thought Harold w

  • LOVE AND LUST   CHAPTER 53- GAVIN’S POV

    I remembered sitting still as the strange woman at the door looked at me like I just broke her heart, i felt sad for her even though I had no idea why. For a second, I wanted to call her back, to ask her who she was and why she looked at me that way. I smiled as Adele brushed the hair away from my face, bringing me away from my thoughts. She had been caring for me since I woke up and she told me we were in love and there was nothing suspicious about it, she was totally the kind of woman I would go for, hot and sexy and gorgeous and she reminded me she was carrying my child. At first, I laughed, thinking she was joking. Me? A father? But then she showed me pictures of us together, intimate, close. My arm around her waist. My lips pressed against her cheek. There was evidence so what was there not to believe. “Do you need anything else?” Adele asked me, she was smiling as she twirled her ponytail around with her fingers. There was something about her that i could not quite put my han

    “Oh, I see you’ve met Leila Baker, your former secretary” Adele said with a cheesy smile as she walked to where Gavin was and gave him a quick peck on the lips. “That’s who she is? Sorry I did not remember you” Gavin said with an apologetic wave. Leila felt her heart shattered into different little pieces, she had a lot to say, Infact she wanted to scream but she had a very hard time opening her mouth not to mention getting the words out of her mouth, everything was spinning from where she stood. She felt a gentle tap on her shoulder, “Uhm, I think we should leave. We could come back another time. There’s still time” Frank said, trying to lighten the mood. “Yeah I think you should leave”, Adele backed it up, arms around Gavin. Leila could not remember how she left that room and the hospital but she knew that when she got back to the house, the house that was a gift from him, she felt like she had lost something that was part of her. *************************************

    “What’s wrong with you? You’re all red” Frank asked, a hint of sarcasm in his voice.“Well, let’s just say my baby’s grandmother stormed in here few minutes ago with that devil of his ex-fiancée” Leila said with a sniff. He looked at her with pity, “You know? If you weren’t already put in the family way, I would have advised you to leave honestly” “Could have said something few months ago” Leila said with a smile, “Anyways, do not worry about me, you don’t have a weak friend”“If you say so” He laughed while kissing her cheeks, “Em is outside but visiting hours are official over, it’s late already. But I promise we would be here very early tomorrow, okay?”“No problem Frankie-Pooh”He raised his brow, “Frankie-Pooh?” Leila burst out laughing, “Get used to it. That’s going to be my baby’s nickname for you” “Cheesy. Anyways buh-bye, see you tomorrow Leily” He said while taking long strides outside the room.The silence was deafening, she tried closing her eyes but all she could see

    “Gavin! Gavin!” She kept screaming until the villain ran away. She was too scared to do anything, his cheeks felt cold and she shuddered at the thought of him dead. Her hands were shaking and they didn’t stop shaking even when she sat still at the back of the emergency vehicle, and her mascara had fallen over her face making her look like exactly what she was going through. “Take a deep breath ma’am” The man said with concern in his eyes. She nodded absentmindedly, she wanted to smile but she could not bring herself to. Everywhere was noisy, with everyone speaking medical terms that she could not understand. Her head was spinning and she kept muttering a tiny prayer for the sky daddy to protect the father of her unborn kid. She could not even bring herself to look at Gavin’s face. All of a sudden, everything felt blurry, The last thing she saw before she closed her eyes was the sweet man in the vehicle whispering to her that everything was going to be alright. *****************

    Leila threw her head back in laughter, “See, you’ve got this all wrong. I am not scared of you and I sure as hell do not care what Gavin’s mother thinks of me. I am carrying his child same as you but I have one more advantage, know what it is?” Adele stared at her in shock before replying to her, “Might as well say it since you have grown some balls” “Love. He loves me and not you. Let that sink in and why you are thinking about that, kindly leave my space, thank you” She said with a smirk. She did not know she had it in her to speak that way, maybe it was the pregnancy, she didn’t mind when Adele stepped all over her before but now she had something to fight for, someone to fight for, and that someone was growing in her belly. Adele was definitely riled up, she stood up and stuck her finger in the air, “Mark my words Leila Baker, you will regret this” **************************************************** Jordan stared at the vase in front of him as he smiled in a sinister way, hi

  • LOVE AND LUST   PRESENT DAY - NEW YORK

    “We really need to stop meeting this way?”. Leila said, her face devoid of emotion. She had learnt how to hide whatever she was feeling and she was very good at it already. “Tell me! Why are you really here?” Adele shot back “Are you scared? The mighty Adele Cooper is scared?” Leila laughed “I stand to correct you, it’s no longer Adele Cooper, it is Adele Hasters. In case you have forgotten” Leila merely smiled as she walked away, “You both deserve each other” Immediately she stepped into the company, series of greetings followed after from Good morning boss to Good morning miss Leila. It made her ears sting, she was still not used to people greeting her like she mattered. She was their boss but they could tone down on the greetings. The director of the company interrupted her thoughts, “Welcome Miss Baker” She smiled when she saw him, his name was David Pouller and they had become friends in the two years since she became the head of Yungmin Enterprises, he respected he
