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
FEW WEEKS LATER She stood up from the bed as she saw him walking into the room. He could see the anxiousness on her face as she hurried towards him. She gave him a quick hug and took the briefcase from his hand. “Honey, you scared me on the phone,” he said as he looked at her face. “Madison was attacked. If not for Jason’s intervention, she might have been kidnapped,” she informed. “What! It’s just a month into their marriage and this is happening?” He asked in dismay as he followed her to the bed. “Yes, they are spending the night over at Jason’s father’s place,” she related. “Didn’t Jason face such an attack earlier this year?” He asked. “Yes, and I’m afraid someone is after their lives,” she said as she sat on the bed, tiredly. “I just hope it’s not because of the company,” he said as he sat beside her. “I think so, honey. It was a well planned attack and suspicions are arising. The company has not even been handed over to them, yet,” she said. “Hmm, I just hope they’re sa
He could see the sad face she wore as she walked into the house hastily. “Honey,” he called from the dining table where he stood, arranging the dishes. She ignored him and dashed up the stairs. He looked at Vivian who was beside him preparing the table. “Please help me do the rest, I will be back,” he said and walked away immediately. As he walked into the room, he saw her taking off her dress and he walked towards her slowly. “Honey, what’s wrong?” He asked anxiously. She kept silent, heaved a sigh and walked to the bed. “Did anything go wrong?” He asked as he followed behind her. “It’s Madison,” she muttered slowly with her gaze on the floor. “You both had a fight?” He asked with a chuckle. She kept silent and looked away from his face. How could she tell him the reason they had fought? She thought. “Hey, what happened?” He asked. “We had a slight misunderstanding. I guess she was angry and she poured all her frustration on me,” she related. “Hmm,” he muttered as he sat
Madison giggled as she watched her walk into the ward that morning. "Hey, why are you so excited? " She asked as she walked into the ward. "This.." she giggled, pointing at the food pack she was holding. "Oh, you think it's yours, right?" She asked. "Why not? " She frowned and she laughed. Madison took the food pack from her as soon as she sat down on the bed. "Wow..," She giggled excitedly as she saw the chicken sauce in the food pack. She pounced on it and they both laughed. "Hungry lion.. "she remarked. "Where's your mom?" She asked. "She went home with Jenny this morning. She'll be back soon, " Madison replied. "And Jason?" She asked again. "I don't know. He called and said he's on his way," she replied. "He likes you..," she voiced and Madison turned to look at her. "What's that supposed to mean?" She frowned. "I saw the worried looks on his face last night. He wasn't himself..," she replied. "And so? He should be worried because I live under his roof and if anything
Everyone was chatting and laughing at the ward when Amos walked in with the two heavily built men behind him. Adrian followed suit with Alex who was beside him. "Hi, Adrian..," Madison greeted from her bed. They all began to murmur silently and the atmosphere in the room changed, with all eyes on Adrian and the men. "How are you doing, my dear?" He asked with a charming smile as he looked at Madison. "I'm good, I'm glad you came, " she said, smiling. "Hey, Mr Steel," Jason greeted and shook hands with him. "It's a good thing I came, " he smirked as he turned to Derrick and Ben. "Your friends?" He asked, looking at Amos who was standing beside them. He kept mute for fear that Adrian might recognize them. "Um... no..," He stammered. "What?!!" They all exclaimed in unison. " Yeah.. yes.. They're my friends..," he stammered again as he scratched his chin. " The same guys who were atoning for you after you finished flirting with my wife!" He thundered as he looked at their fac
“I can’t believe you’re sitting here comfortably, spilling in my face that Alex went on a date with another man?!” Mateo’s deep voice sounded on the balcony as he looked at his son who was sitting opposite him, drinking his wine slowly. “What do you want me to do, father? She is a grown up, she has the right to make her own decisions. And I can see that she has chosen who she wants to be with, '' he sounded angrily and let out a sigh. “No, this is hard to believe. Now, you’re letting her walk away from your life so freely?” Mateo asked in dismay. He kept silent and gulped his drink angrily. “Father, Alex has made her choice. I’m not the right man for her! I’m not perfect, I’m still insecure, and I guess she found someone who treats her right, someone who treats her better than I do. So, I figured out, it’s time we go our separate ways. She will bear the baby for me and leave afterwards,” he said angrily. “And why are you in pain? I thought you never loved her?” Mateo asked as he
Their pants could be heard as they both pulled away from each other with the duvet shielding their unclad bodies. “I’ve missed you so much,” he cried as he cuddled her in his arms “I missed you too,” she said with a smile as she caressed his bare chest with her fingers. “I’m..I’m so sorry for everything. I know I've said this countless times, but I’m truly deeply sorry,” he apologized as he looked into her face. “I’m sorry for giving you rooms for suspicion and for sleeping here at the guestroom. I was just overwhelmed and I felt really hurt about everything. I just needed a moment to myself,” she related sadly. He tightened his arms around her and kissed her forehead. “I just don’t know why I can’t take it. Seeing you around some other guy irritates me,” he confessed and she chuckled. “Or, maybe someone’s about to fall,” she said with a chuckle as she raised her head to his face. He laughed and caressed her arms. “ I’m starting to,” he said and her smile broadened. “What’s th
