She stopped abruptly as she stood face to face with him and he made a surprised face as he saw her staring at him anxiously. Her heart began to pound as she thought of Amos walking in on them. What if Adrian had spotted them together earlier? She reasoned and she could feel the perspiration gathering on her brows. “Are you okay?” He asked as he noticed her uneasiness. “Yes, Honey, are you done?” She asked as she took his hand immediately. “Yes, what about you?” He asked. “I’m..I’m..done. Let’s leave,” she said as she pulled his hand and they both walked away immediately. * She heaved a sigh as she slumped on the couch tiredly. They were back from shopping and she was feeling so tired already. They had also stopped by Mateo’s place to break the news to him and she smiled as she recalled how happy he had felt about the pregnancy. She sighed and took off her wig which was beginning to discomfort her. She could hear Adrian’s voice in the bathroom and he seemed to be saying a few w
She walked into the room tiredly and dropped her bag on the bed. “How did it go?” He asked as he walked into the room. She smiled as she sat on the bed and pulled off her long black wig. “It went so well, honey. You know, Madison will be arriving in the country this week and I met with her supposed suitor today.” she said with a smile. “Oh,” he said as he helped her remove her shoes. “Yes, and their marriage is really going to be terrific!” She exclaimed and he laughed. “Why?” He asked with his head bent. “They are enemies right from college days and their families want them to get married,’ she related. “And they’re opposing, I guess,” he said with a smile. ‘Yes, I haven't heard from Madison, though. I want to surprise her on that day of her coming so I won’t contact her just yet,” she replied. “So, what’s the guy saying about the marriage plans?” He asked as he massaged her feet gently. “He doesn’t want to marry her,” she replied. “Just like us,” he said as he raised his
As he walked into the room tiredly, he saw her lying on the bed, scrolling through her phone with excitement on her face. “Honey, I’m home,” he said as he walked to the bed. “Hey, you took so long,” she said tiredly as she helped herself up from the bed. “Sorry, I was at father’s place,” he said as he leaned over her and pecked her cheek. She smiled and helped him unbutton his dress as she knelt before him. “How did it go?” He asked. “It was great. We threw her a surprise party and she was overly excited,” she related with a smile and he nodded. “You need to see how beautiful she’s looking. We have a striking resemblance with each other,” she said and he smiled wryly. “Did she meet her suitor?” He asked. “Oh, they spoke and it was catastrophic. We were both chatting over the phone before you arrived. They hate each other so much and they’re going crazy because of this marriage stuff,” she said with a smile. He smiled and wrapped his arms over her waist. “You know, sometime
They were still speaking when the black G-wagon sped into the mansion. Their eyes trailed after the car as it stopped in front of the building. They could see Adrian, donned in a black suit, stepping out of the car as the men opened the door and made way for him. “Wow, Alex, your husband is so cute,” Maiden gushed with one hand placed on her chest as she stared at him in adulation. Alex frowned as she gave her a death stare. Bisi laughed as she saw the scenario and they all burst into laughter. They could see him staring in the direction of the pool and they all stood up in unison. “I can’t wait to get closer to him,” Maiden cried as she hurried ahead of the ladies. “Maiden, don’t go close to my husband! I’ll kill you!” Alex shouted after her and Bisi laughed again as they tried to keep up pace with her. He stared at the ladies walking towards him, all dressed in swimming suits. He could see the fair beautiful girl in front, walking hastily towards him. He quickly recognized her
A FEW DAYS LATER Dressed in a white short chiffon dress, she stepped out of the car and took off her sunglasses as she looked around the club environment. She could see a few people moving to and fro the clubhouse which was all lit up that evening. “Madam,” she heard Tiger call behind her and she turned to look at him. “I want to hurry up so I can fix the car before coming back to pick you up,” he said with all humility. “Oh, is it faulty?” She asked. “Yes, a little bit faulty,” he said and she nodded. “Ok, I’ll just give my husband a call to let him know I’m here,” she said and he nodded and walked away. She watched him drive away and she picked up her phone from her small sling purse. “Honey,” his charming voice sounded from the phone. “Hey, love. Um, you’re not yet back from the office, right?” She asked. “No, but I guess I will be leaving soon,” he said. “Wait, you’re not home?” He asked. “No. Madison called. She told me to meet her at the club,” she said. “What’s w
She stood up from the bed as she saw Adrian walking into the room. With her phone in her hands, she hurried towards him and placed her hand around his neck. He kissed her forehead and she smiled as he rubbed her tummy tenderly. “Welcome home, honey,” she said with a smile as she took his briefcase. “Hey, you’re sounding so excited,” he said as he took off his suit Jacket, with his eyes on her face. “Honey, you won’t believe this. The Billionaire company called TJSONS is being runned by Madison’s parents in partnership with Jason’s parents, the Johnsons,'' she revealed. He pulled a surprised face as he unbuttoned his long sleeve shirt. “Really? I’ve so much suspected the Thompsons to be billionaires. They’re always present at the Billionaire’s end of year party,” he said as he walked to the bed. “The truth about the company was revealed to Jason and Madison earlier today. And the company will be handed over to them if only they both got married,” she said with a smile. He paused
After the signing of papers and joining together, they all stepped out for photographs. She stood a few distances away along with Chelsea as they both laughed and made jokes of Madison and Jason’s horrible faces. “These two look horrible together,” she said with laughter. “Sure, I wish to stay for a while so I'll watch the drama unfolding in the house,” Chelsea said and they both laughed again. “Look at you, looking so stunning in red,” they heard a soft male voice and they turned to see Amos standing behind them. “Jeez!,” she shrieked with her eyes staring at him angrily. “Amos again,” Chelsea complained and walked away from them. He scoffed and walked closer to her with a smirk on his handsome face. His hair was neatly shaved which added to his handsome looks. “You decided to compliment me for the day,” he said with a hoarse voice as he looked into her eyes. “Amos, for Christ’s sake, I’m married and pregnant! Leave me alone,” she cried. “I never said anything to annoy you, d
As she stepped out of the restroom, she saw Amos standing at the passage and their eyes met. She heaved a sigh and shook her head angrily as she tried to walk past him. He held her hands and pulled her back. “Are you okay?!” She yelled in his face. “I'm fine and you know it! How do you even manage to keep up with that man, he's not the right man for you. I've heard about him and his father, they're both ruthless people," He ranted. "How dare you talk about my husband that way!" She yelled in his face. "You and I know the truth that you are not happy in this marriage. No one marries from the Steel family and ends up being happy," he continued. "You are out of your senses!" She yelled. He held her arms and pulled her closer to himself. "I love you, Lex, and no matter how much we had both pretended back then at school, I knew there was something stirring up between us.. '' he said seductively. She tried to shove him off but then, a deep male voice startled them. " What's going on
