Hey guys. Quick one, I’m sooooo sorry I’ve not updated in like a week. A lot of things are going on at the moment 🥲🥲
BUT, I promise I’m working on giving you all at least five chapters at once. Just bear with me for the meantime🥹 Being a student is so draining 🥲🥲🥲🥲It’s been a rollercoaster of emotions for me during the last few months and I’m praying to God to give me strength to continue. If you can pray for me, I’d really appreciate it so much 😫Thanks for your support guys. I appreciate all of you so so much🙏🥺🥺🥺🥺You know how David said; 'I was glad when they said we should go to the House of the Lord'? I could totally relate to it because I felt so much joy being in church that evening after a successful counseling session with Celia. I was so blessed by the sermon, I shed a few tears and had to hide my face from the media team who had their cameras ready as always. Not today people. Did I mention how blessed I was by the service in its entirety? Cause believe you me, I walked out of there with a whole new level of confidence. Confidence that was soon dissipated when Damien's call came through while I was driving back home. "Hey baby." I chirped a little too excitedly. "Mi amor," His sultry baritone filled my ears, sending butterflies on a rampage in my belly. There had to be something God put in his voice that had me weak in the knees every time. "How was your trip?" I asked. "It was a good one. Work already began on the site before I came." He said. "That's great. You met with your ne
"Daddy we miss you." The twins said in unison over FaceTime that evening. It was morning over in LA."I miss you too buddies," I sighed, relieved to see their faces."When are you coming back?" Damon was the first to ask.It had only been a few days days and they were already asking when I was going to return. I didn't want to disappoint them so I just said I was going to be back very soon."Baby? Where's my princess?" I asked Ariana and she brought the phone closer only for me to see Ava with her eyes closed, one hand in her hair pleasurably scratching her scalp and with her mouth busy sucking every ounce of milk out of her mother's breast. "Ava say hi to daddy." Ariana nudged her but she didn't even budge, that girl was just too engrossed in whatever she was doing."I'm so jealous." I admitted just as Ariana covered it up with her nursing apron. "How was your day?" She asked."It was productive. How was yours?""Great." She shrugged with one shoulder."Been seeing some content onl
I had an attitude all through the workday. It was midday, Damien had been away for a week and half and he had the audacity to go a day without talking to me. And even when I tried reaching him, he was not picking up. In fact, he was offline. Having a 'talk' with Claire had her avoiding me in the office and that made me so fulfilled. I had had enough of drama and I did not sugarcoat words when I spoke to her about her obnoxious attitude. I called her out on her obvious attempt to compete with me over my husband, she blatantly denied it and I warned her to let it be true cause I had my ways of handling such people (even if I didn't)."Is there a problem Alfred?" I asked him when he had been quiet and staring at me for longer than a minute since he entered my office."We have a problem." He said, gulping afterwards."Not another scandalous piece of content please?" I groaned, running my fingers through my hair."It's not that actually." "Then what is it?" I asked with a head tilt."So
I rushed into the sick bay section of the school after being barely able to drive within the speed limit."What happened?""He fell off the swing ma'am." Damon's teacher answered me."Where's my son?" I asked, searching around."This way." She nervously said, leading me to the room they had him in."Mommy!" Darian ran into my arms the moment he saw me. "Hey baby." I kissed him on his cheeks and put him down as I spotted Damon on the bed with a bandage around his head and seemed to be asleep. I stared at the red patch of blood, examining it before I saw the dislocated arm that had been wrapped with a bunch of bandages as well."Oh my baby." I couldn't help but sob. I was so confused at this point. Was I supposed to call Damien? Or Mom, Tracy and Aiden? I was so overwhelmed.To my surprise, mom came in shortly after. "They called the house and Ma Rosa called me. She didn't want to make you panic at work." She told me.I went into her arms for comfort. I loved being a mom but seeing my
"You should have consulted me at least." I said when she told me about how she fired the nannies."What do you mean? They neglected their responsibilities and I took the best decision." Of course she was not going to understand my point."I'm not disputing that but you could have at least let me know before taking such a rash decision." I reasoned. "So when you fire people it's not a rash decision but for me it is?" She fumed. Okay this was going sideways.I sighed, "Ariana don't start. This is not about me.""Pray tell, what is it about?" Her glare was a furious one. I gulped."I'm saying you firing both of them out of nowhere is just unnecessary.""Did you even listen to what I said??" Her voice had gone up a notch."I did." I said with a single nod.She shook her head in disagreement. "No, I don't think you did. These persons neglected your kids, our kids. Not only did they disrespect my authority as one of their employers, they put my children at risk.""Our children." I correcte
~Weeks on~It was Valentine's day. And for the first time in years, my man wasn't with me to celebrate it. How unfair that his flight had to be delayed due to some unexpected weather storm. It had been a month and I was already tired of missing him. Most of all, I was tired of the kids asking when he was coming back. I had said 'soon' so much that they replied it before me whenever they asked. Damien had better be back soon before chaos would be begin.I looked up when I heard a knock on my door. "Come in." I said without looking up from my system. I assumed it was one of the staff with their usual requests for approval on certain ideas."Delivery for Mrs Kingston." I heard.Glancing up, I gasped at the gigantic bouquet Damien sent me. I thought of how to carry it as I got on my feet. Picking the card out from the bunch of roses, the staff who had their phones out made me read it aloud. 'To the woman who has made my life complete, turned my world upside down and still fixed it with a
I looked at the time with a clenched jaw as I walked around the room dancing around with Ava's head laying on my shoulders as she fought with sleep. It was past 9pm. I had put the boys in bed, they had school the next day and had been asking for their mom too so I made them sleep on time even when they wanted to stay awake so bad. Ariana wasn't back for whatever reason and I had called and texted her so many times since work hours were over. I was beginning to get worried until I tracked her ring and vehicle on my system and saw that she was on the move. Didn't seem like her car was hijacked or anything cause I would have been reached out to by now. Pacing the room calmly, hoping for Ava to finally fall asleep so I could take her to the nursery, I waited for Ariana, visibly enraged at her misconduct. Few minutes later, my daughter was finally asleep and I laid her in the cot in her nursery. I was just coming out of the room when I heard Ariana's footsteps. She jumped as soon as her
"Hey baby." I said as soon as I got into the room, taking off my shoes in the process. "Hey mama." He came over and kissed me deeply. "How was your day?" I asked when we pulled apart. "Great. But you abandoned me." He pouted, unpinning my hair, just so he could let it down and brush through it with his fingers. "You didn't see my message on time?" I asked in surprise. "I didn't actually. I already found my way to your office and Claire told me you already left." My smile dropped at the mention of Claire. "How nice of her to be the one to inform you of my absence." I sarcastically said. "Why do you have a problem with this girl?" He questioned. "I don't have a problem with anyone." I muttered, leaving his arms to make my way to the closet and take off my clothes so I could take a bath. He followed me closely. "She told me everything that happened while I was away." He said in an accusatory tone. I turned around and scowled. "What did she tell you?" "Did you accuse her of tryi
