Paige

“Goodmorning,” Paige smiled when Cedric finally woke up, “Do you know you talk in your sleep?” she asked, smiling mischievously,

“You're lying,” Cedric replied, before noticing the serious expression on Paige’s face, “Wait, no way! You're serious?”

Paige giggled, she couldn't keep up the pretence, “I'm just joking. But, you really look cute in your sleep though.”

Cedric smiled fondly, pulling her closer to himself and engulfing his big arms around her lean form, “Did you perhaps fall in love with me while watching me sleep, mami?”

Paige smiled, “You flatter yourself, I did no such…” Cedric’s phone ringing interrupted her and she paused, locking eyes with Cedric. “You need to get that,”

“I'll just call them back later,” Cedric said, he didn't want this moment to end, he knew if he picked that call, this sweet moment between them would be over, and they'd have to go back to being opposites. “Do you want to have breakfast together?”

Paige sighed, untangling herself from Ce

    Paige and Cedric “We should go drinking.” Jarvis, one of the girls in Paige’s office suggested as they were packing up to close up work for the day. “Drink on a work day?” “Yes, why not?” “I hate hangovers.” “Me too.” Jarvis retorted, “But guys, how old are we, I'm very sure all of us are in the same age range, look at what is happening, why aren't we at least having some fun?” Paige listened intently, "Of course she will love to have fun, go out and drink the night away. But with the things happening around her right now, she doesn't know how unfortunate she could get. She didn't want to tempt fate. “I can't join you today guys, I'm sorry na.” She gave them her best sorry eyes. “Not so fast, P.” Jarvis disagreed, “If there is anybody that needs a break, especially a drink break. It's you. Like, girl I don't have any idea how you are doing it, because if I was in your shoes, I would have had a proper crash out by now.” “You'll be at every pub drinking.” Another gi

    Paige and Cedric “Goodmorning Sir,” Daniel, his personal aide and driver, greeted him when he arrived at the company. Cedric hasn't been to work for a while now and he is already exhausted thinking about all the piled-up worksheets waiting for bin to work on. “Goodmorning Daniel. Do you have everything?” “Yes sir. Everything has been sorted out according to your directives.” ‘Good. I want you to fix a doctor's appointment for Marlynn, tell her I said she can't appear in my presence until she has gotten rid of whatever she is carrying.” “Ms Marlynn is pregnant?” “You don't believe it either, right? I am so pissed. I can't believe she will be so careless and when did we even…?” “But, sir. Isn't that a good thing? With the way the company's board members have been so divided lately, having an Heir will further solidify your position.” “I don't know why I'm not happy about it either, but it's not the right time yet, Grandma is still here and Paige, we are still married and…” “S

    Paige A slap echoed loudly across the hallways as Paige swung her hands on Marlynn's face. “What did you do that for ,Paige?” “Are you nuts?” “What is going on here?” Cedric’s familiar voice questioned as he walked towards the two ladies in the hallway. “I asked what is going on here?” “She slapped me, Cedric. I just came to check on her and visit her mother but she slapped me.” Cedric peered at Paige’s face, she looked furious, “Paige,” he called “Don't even think about it, Cedric. I've had enough of this bullshit. So don't even think of questioning me.” “But, I just want to know why you did that.” “Oh yeah? How about you ask her, or better still take her home with you or fly her to the moon, I don't care but none of you are welcome here.” Paige scolded, she was about to shut the door on them but Cedric immediately stopped it. “Paige, please I need to have a word with you. Marlynn, go home, I'll call you.” “You're asking me to leave because of this bitch?

    Paige Cedric was going hysterical as he kept dialling Paige’s number, and she wasn't picking up. He was so anxious. He wished Paige could just trust that he knew the truth. He knew all of this was just to frame her. He clearly recognized the location in the picture. It was the hospital. “Cedric, you have been acting so strange lately.” Marlynn jabbed, :I've never seen a man that has clearly been cheated on show so much concern about the wife who is the cheater.” “Sorry, I didn't catch that.” Cedric looked up in surprise. He was so lost in his mind that he didn't notice Marlynn had been speaking to him. “Just fuck off, I'm going to sleep.” “Okay.” He responded, not noticing the sour expression on Marlynn's face. He had already taken Rain into custody but the man confessed that he was also a victim because he wasn't aware those pictures were taken. Cedric was getting more worried that he had zero clue or control over anything. Anytime it feels that they will make progre

    Paige “I don't want to listen to anything you have to say to me, Mr Rain Alanis. Please leave, I want to spend time with my mother.” “Paige, please just give me a chance to explain, please.” the man insisted, pleading. Paige’s mother noticed what was happening, although she didn't know what had occurred between the man and her daughter but she couldn't help but feel bad for the man. He has been visiting her almost every hour of the day in hopes of meeting her. It must be a very serious matter if Paige was behaving like that to her friend. Not to mention she looked so worn out. The woman knows how much Paige hated fighting with her friends and wanted to help the man make up with Paige. “Paige, baby, you shouldn't be talking to a senior like that, no matter what. Be respectful.” “Mummy please stay the fuck out of this!” Paige snapped at the shock and confusion of the woman, “If you have so much energy to intercede for another person, how about focusing that energy o

    Paige “You are so fucking stupid!” Marlynn let out immediately when she noticed Paige step back into the living room. Paige had excused herself to see Umi off. “Marlynn!” Cedric warned, “What?” Marlynn retorted harshly, “Aren't you tired of walking around the same circle over and over again, because I'm fucking tired, and what? I have to keep dealing with this bitch and bullshit for how long, huh?” “You can leave if you can't stand it, Marlynn!” “What?” Marlynn was fuming, “I left my life and career overseas back to you, Cedric and you have the effrontery to snap at me, because of Paige? I can't believe this!” Paige was speechless and she watched the scene, relieved that Grandma wasn't in the living room to witness such a scenario. “I didn't mean it like that. I'm sorry.” Cedric apologised to Marlynn. Paige couldn't help but notice how gently he talked to her and how softly he cared for her. “You can't treat me like that, Cedric.” Marlynn whined, “Especially not
