She stepped out of the car tiredly and proceeded to the building. She had just returned from the hotel where she had gone to Visit Madison. Madison was leaving the country again and she was feeling so sad about it. As she walked into the foyer, she could hear resounding laughter from the living room accompanied by female voices which seemed familiar to her. From the foyer where she stood, she could see the ladies drinking and chatting excitedly in the living room with bottles of wines and whiskey on the table before them. She walked into the living room and she saw two other ladies whom she quickly recognized as Sharon and Susan, the ladies at the billionaire's club party. She could see the intimidating looks they gave her and she paid no attention to them as she walked over to the stairs. They all burst into laughter and she held her breath for a moment. She has had enough of Barbara and her nuisances, she thought as she proceeded to the room. She sat on the bed angrily and heav
He shoved her hand away as he saw Alex staring at them, wearing a long face. “Um..honey,” he muttered as he walked slowly towards her while she continued to stare at him in dumbfoundment. “What are you staring at? Hmm?” Barbara asked with her eyes on her. She rushed towards Adrian and placed her arms over him again. “Get the fuck off!” He barked and she scoffed and pulled away from him. “I’ll be in the room waiting,” Alex said as she gulped and turned to walk to the stairs. “Wait, we’re not done yet!” Barbara shouted after her. She ran over to her and stood in front of her undauntedly. “Barbara, what’s all this rubbish?!” Adrian thundered. “Love, why don’t you just tell her the truth?” She asked with a smirk. "What truth?” He asked with a deep voice. “The truth that what you feel for her is just pity and not love,” she spilled. She felt a stone in her heart as Barbara said those words and she shot Adrian a death stare. “Honey..do not mind anything she is saying,” he cut in
As she stepped into the white Mercedes, she looked out of the window and began to reminisce about her once happy moments at the mansion. Mateo was the reason she had stayed back with Adrian. He gave her hope when all hopes were lost. He was her strength in this marriage, her backbone and her fortified tower. But right now, she feels like she has lost him for good. She doesn’t have the strength to continue with this fight on her own, She thought. She sighed and turned to Sam who was sitting before the steering wheels. “Take me to the Cocoa village,” she muttered. * She was warmly welcomed by her family and friends as she stepped into the house. All her friends were present alongside her mom and dad. After having lunch and resting up for a while, they all gathered around her, inquiring of the recent happenings at the mansion. “Can you believe the trash that bitch had been posting about you?” Maiden asked angrily. “Barbara?” She asked curiously. “Yes, she is making the public hate
Looking through the window, she could see the fleets of cars moving into the yard. Her eyes bulged and she turned to look at her friends who were seated on the bed with her. Adrian’s here!” She announced and their brows raised. “Oh, he is here to get his princess,” Maiden teased and she frowned. “Smile, and stop the pretense,” Bisi added as she tickled her cheeks. She laughed and the girls laughed too. “Come on girls, let’s go and welcome our guests,” Asa urged as she stood up. Bisi carried baby Junior from the bed and they all walked out to the living room. She looked through the window again and her face beamed with a smile as she saw Adrian walking alongside Natasha and the bodyguards who were following behind them. She sighed and stood up from the bed. There is no way I’m not going home today, she said to herself as a chuckle emitted from her mouth. He looked around the beautiful and moderately furnished living room. He recalled the last time he was here and a wry smile appe
A knock came on the door and he opened his eyes slowly. He could feel Alex’s body curled in his arm and he heaved a sigh and rubbed his palm on his face. “Honey,” he called as he tapped her shoulder. She opened her eyes and yawned tiredly. The knock came again and she looked up at Adrian’s face which was looking into hers. She rolled away from him and he stood up from the bed and proceeded to the door. “Sir,” he heard Sara call as she stood in front of him. “What?” He asked grumpily as he looked at her anxious face. “Um..your..your wife, Barbara. She requires your presence downstairs,” she replied anxiously. “Is everything okay?” He asked with his brows raised. “You should see for yourself,” she replied and walked away. He walked back into the room and he could see Alex checking up on the baby who was in his cradle. “Is everything okay?” She asked as she turned to look at him. “Barbara requires my attention. Come with me, let’s see what she’s up to,” he urged. She sighed an
He was still on the floor weeping when he felt a hand touch his shoulder.“She’s gone. It’s time we continue our lives from where we stopped'' Barbara whispered into his ears from behind.*She dragged her luggage into the hotel room diligently and she heaved a sigh as she walked to the bed. She unbelt the carrier and made baby Junior lie on the king sized bed.“My prince charming,” she called as she gazed at his handsome face.He was fast asleep and her heart became saddened by the fact that he was born into a time of distress.“My prince, mom have taken you far away from home. I’m sorry I had to do this, my prince. But it was for your own peace and happiness” she said with a smile as she looked into his Innocent face.“I promise I will take care of you, and give you the peaceful home you were deprived of. Mommy is going to do all she can, to make sure you are safe,” she assured with a smile as she sniffed.She wiped her tears and stood up from the bed. Right now, she needed to make
“This is nonsense!” She yelled with her eyes fixed on the TV where she could see the scenes at the airport being aired.Sitting on the couch behind her was Maria whose legs crossed stylishly as she scrolled through her phone.“I can’t stand this any longer! No!” She screamed as she began to pace around the Living room.Not long, the door opened and she could see them stepping into the foyer with the maids who were all strolling happily behind them.“What’s the meaning of this nonsense?!” She barked as she walked towards Adrian.He paid no attention to her as he proceeded up the stairs with Alex and the maids. “What is she doing here? I thought she was gone?!” She cried as she saw them walking up the stairs.“Really? You failed with your manipulations this time around, Barb,” Natasha said with a smirk as she walked past her.“No!” She cried as she shook her head vehemently.“Maria, go get Isabel,” she ordered to her sister who stood up Immediately and walked away.Not long, she saw Ad
The door opened and she could see Adrian walking into the living room with Isabel walking ahead of him. Her eyes opened wide in surprise and her face broke into a smile as the little girl ran over to meet her.“Aunty!” She cried as she gave her a hug.“Isabel,” she called with a smile and narrowed her gaze to Adrian who was smiling behind her.“How..how did it happen?” She asked in surprise.“Well, I stopped by the mansion to know if Barbara signed the papers. But on getting there, she wasn’t home. I found Isabel with Maria and I pleaded for her to let me take her with me” he said“And she agreed?” She asked and he nodded.“I miss baby Junior,” she cried as she sat on the floor and played with baby Junior who was lying on his bed.“Be prepared for Barbara’s war,” Alex said with a smile and he laughed.“Love, have you heard from your father, lately?” She asked as he walked up the stairs.“No, he isn’t taking my calls. I guess the old man is avoiding me like a plague,” he said.“I think
