Forgive any typos. I was in a rush to update this.
"Aunt Karla." I smiled as soon as her face popped up on my screen. "Querido." She grinned. (My darling.) "Feliz Navidad." I said. (Merry Christmas.) "Merry Christmas. How are you doing?" "I'm well. How are you?" I sighed, sitting up carefully. "I'm good." "Where's Damien?" She asked as usual. "He went out, he'll probably be back soon." "If I'm reading my time correctly. It's kinda late over there." I took a quick glance at the digital clock placed by my side of the bed. It was past 8pm almost 9pm, in fact. I had to call him but then with everything that went on in the morning, calling him felt off. "Boys! Come say hi to Nonna!" I beckoned on them as they did their thing on the balcony. They rushed and practically grabbed my phone just to see Aunt Karla's face. Topic changed so smoothly. Good one Ariana, I gave myself and imaginary pat on the back. I picked Ava as I got on my feet. "Darian, Damon, do not break my phone!" I yelled. "Let them talk to me!" Aunt Karla defended
"Happy new year!" I screamed with everyone excitedly as we counted down to 12am on the 1st of January. Fireworks went up in that moment as we hugged one another, jumping around in excitement. It was a new beginning, a new era, an unfolding of a new chapter in each and every of our lives. It was beautiful to see everyone together, all alive to celebrate the new year. This was the biggest blessing. As at 2am, Damien and I were still up, talking about our plans for the year as we usually did every year. The kids were all asleep in our room while we sat in the balcony, having a great conversation when I remembered something. "You never told me where you were on Christmas day." I said as soon as it came to mind. He was quiet for a little over a minute. "That was last year babe." He joked and I laughed heartily. "I know but I just want to know where you were."I said. "I went out to clear my head."He answered vaguely. "I know that but where? You came home quite late, spending nearly ha
Controlling myself was not going to be an easy task but I was ready to do anything to keep her happy. We were fine again and I really wished things could just remain that way. No more fights this year was one of things I put in as a new year resolution and more than anything, I wanted that box to be ticked. "Babe!" She yelled for me. "Yeah?" I answered, putting everything I was doing aside to meet her in the closet. "What do you think of this dress?" "Spin." I told her and she did. Damn! I exclaimed in thought in as she turned around slowly. Now that was what I called a luscious behind. "It's beautiful, but," "But what?" "It's showing a bit too much of your curves. I don't want anyone drooling over my wife, you're mine." I pulled her close as our lips touched briefly. "I'm yours, that's exactly why you do not have to worry about anything." She said, arranging my collar. I agreed after a bit of contemplation, then I raised her hand. "Don't take this off and make sure it's visib
Sure you must be wondering how I found out about him and Claire being together on Christmas day. It's pretty simple. She told me herself. I was so stunned when she walked towards me as I was about to enter my new office for the first time. Damien said it was a surprise and didn't let me see it while it was being set up. "Hello Mrs Kingston." I couldn't hide my surprise. "Hi Claire. How are you?" I said out of courtesy. "Great. How are you?" She grinned. "I'm good. What are you doing here?" I had to ask. I thought she worked in another department. "Oh I work here now. I'm an IT expert and I'm also pretty good at manipulating algorithms to give our social media content a much needed boost." She said with a little too much enthusiasm. "Hmm. Nice. I had no idea of this until today," I admitted with a blank face even though I was boiling on the inside. "Oh really? That's probably HR's fault. They said we needed some older hands to help with the new department and they slotted my nam
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
