Amelia's POV
The old man opened the gate for someone to walk in, I screamed at the sight of Pamela, rushing down the stairs to go and meet with her. "Pam!" I screamed in excitement, smiling and hugging her briefly.
"Ma'am," she called, walking before me and I looked at her from behind. We got into the house and I gave her some time to arrange the stuff she had brought with her from her mother's house.
"How is she?" I asked the minute she walked into my room from dropping her small backpack in her room.
"She sent her greetings," she said in response. We had a little conversation, moved to the kitchen when I heard a car honk its horn at the gate. I paused, waiting for the gateman to open the gate, but he did not.
Instead, he opened the normal gate meant for walking through and I heard tiny voices because I was not close to the gate to know who spoke. I had expec

Ethan's POVThe men that work with and for my company congratulated me after the honeymoon leave I had taken."Welcome, sir," my receptionist greeted me first when I arrived on a Monday. Mr. Robert and the rest of the men came around to see me during the week, telling me I am officially the sole proprietor of the company already, they reminded me of the other half of the deal."We still need some time," I said to the man who had brought up the issue of childbearing, "allow us to enjoy the early stages of our marriage, sir." "I understand," the elderly man said, "I am only looking out for you, some thieves have their eyes on this property," he explained, pointing his hand to the floor for emphasis."Thank you," I greeted, controlling my emotions that would burst the next moment. "She is your wife, it is her priority to give you a child," Robert chipped in. "A male child to take over the company after your demise."

Luke's POV"Wake up!" Scarlett dragged me on the bed. The alarm chimed and the time I set the previous day rang loudly. "Why do you always disturb my sleep with this machine?" She complained, and I sat up on the bed."8AM!" I screamed, hurriedly jumping off the bed. "Good morning, baby," I greeted from the bathroom, grabbed my electric toothbrush and washed my mouth."Don't be late!" The Boss had warned after the sales were done the previous day. "More goods shall arrive tomorrow," he said again. His words rang in my head while I washed my mouth, I had my bath in a giffy, rushing back to the room to meet Scarlett still sleeping. She laid on the bed, not completely asleep."Where are you going?" She asked, her eyes were still closed and I used the spray. "Work," I answered, moving to the wardrobe to select a dress for my day. "This or this?" I asked and she opened her eyes to say, "this," pointing at the shirt on my left hand. I nodded at her, placed the other shirt back in the wardrob

Ethan's POVI phoned my men days ago to meet me at a restaurant, a place where we hold meetings. The air is finally cold between Amelia and I."Good morning," she greeted me before I left the house. "Good morning," I replied to her. I walked to the dining area to have breakfast. Pamela is finally stronger than days ago."Good morning," she came out of her room, looking fleshy and I nod at her, sipping from my mug. I left the house after some time and rushed to the office. From my calculations, I am almost late for work. Being a CEO does not justify me."Meet me at the restaurant," I said to one of my men over the phone. I asked him to bring the rest of the boys with him. It is almost a matter of urgency, afterall. "Okay, boss," he said before ending the call.I arrived at the office and hopped down from my car to see Roberts' car at the lot. "Again," I muttered to myself. "Who owns that car?" Although, I know. I still asked the worker for a clarifying reason. "Mr. Robert, sir," he sa

Luke's POVThese past few weeks have not been easy, I barely sleep and I don't have time for my woman, either.Boss had announced to me that I would be in charge of taking the ladies to the airport on the day they would leave the warehouse. I fidgeted, never have I ever done such since I started working as a distributor for him. "You learn to be perfect," he said, seeing the expression on my face. "Yes, sir," I said, fearing that I would lose my life if the police officers at the airport gripped me badly."I'd be travelling for a business trip soon, baby," I said to Scarlett when we settled on the bed to sleep. She looked at me, searching my face for the expression I was hiding. I faked a smile and she nodded, accepting what I had said. "Where are you going?" She asked and I was lost for words to tell her. Growing up as a man, I didn't find it too hard to lie, but the fear I had for this act took away the lyi

Luke's POVWe halted at the gate of the airport."Good morning," the cab man said to an official who waved at us. The girls' faces were expressionless and I urged them to smile, thoughts of getting caught causing me to fidget."Here," the man said, bringing his car to a stop far from the main gate of the airport. I greeted him, hopped down from the cab and saw the other car that was following from behind. One of the guards signalled me, asking me to come over."Don't move," I said to the girls who were still in the car. "I'd be back," I told the cab man and moved to the other car. The guard showed me the man that owns the big envelope I was given the day before, reminding me of the code I did not forget. How could I have forgotten? I would be in trouble if I did.I nodded at the men and moved back to the car where the girls sat still. I removed a few notes from my purse, throwing them at the cab man who smiled, picking the notes from where it had fallen. "Come on," I said to the girl

Amelia's POVI cooked in the kitchen last weekend when Ethan walked up to me."How are you?" He asked and I replied, "I am fine," I had imagined him hungry, but no, he had come to have a conversation."You came to get water?" I asked him, moving towards the refrigerator but I was also wrong. He obliged."Where is Pamela?" He asked, settling on a chair. I had sent her on a quick errand to help me get shampoo from the mall. The last one I bought was exhausted."I sent her out," I told him and he nodded. "I have given information to my men regarding Luke.""This is good news!"His words were a bomb in my head and I looked at him for one moment, expecting him to laugh and tell me it was a joke."You're serious," I confirmed, seeing he didn't smile and he kept a serious look."Y

Ethan's POV"I met with Scarlett today at the boutique," Amelia announced to me on the night of her outing with Pamela.At first, I thought it was a joke. Not a joke that she met with her sister, but she was at the boutique. "At the boutique?" I asked, I just had to be sure I heard her right."Yes, Ethan. Pamela and I went to the boutique." I looked at her from my own corner of the bed, searching for lies in her eyes. She nodded and moped at me in wonderment. "What is it?" She finally asked when my eyes did not leave her fair skin. "What did you go to do at the boutique?" I asked and she smiled for a moment, bursting into ripples of laughter. Something she never really did and I wanted her to laugh some more, at least, for the moment. "Pamela and I went to get some stuff for her." "With your money?" I asked again and she laughed. "Yes, Ethan. I am not too broke," she said this time and I laughed for a moment."I'm sorry." I had never imagined her as broke, but then, a boutiq
