LOGINI remembered I needed to call Beatrice; it always slips my mind to call her, so let me give her a call now before I forget again.
“ Hi Beatrice, sorry I didn't get back to you as promised for a long time. How are you coping? I have an offer for you if you would like it”.
“Hello ma'am, I am good. What do you have for me?. She is eager to know.
“ I am opening a beauty station soon. The posts of a receptionist and a manager are open for you to choose from. Would you like to work for me?” I want a sincere answer from her.
“ I would like to work in your studio, I have been jobless since the incident happened. She reminded me that I made her jobless again.
“ I thought as much, that's why I am giving you the post on a platter of gold without going through any process. I said.
“Which one would you like to go for out of the two posts? Bring your credentials to the address I will send to you later for documentation”.
“I would go for the manager post, thanks so much I won't disappoint you.” I can sense her happiness from the end of the call.
That being settled, I cleared my conscience of being the reason for her joblessness.
I got to Roselyn's place and met her in a meeting with her co-workers. She came to me after their meeting.
“I am sorry for keeping you waiting”. She said immediately she sat down.
I brought out the documents of the applicants, their practical works, and the things I jotted down.
After enough scrutiny, the applicants were carefully selected.
We chose seven lucky people as those who will be working with me for a start. Which are:
A receptionist
Two nail technicians
Two spa technicians
Two hair stylists.
“You will also need a manager for the studio, which I can't see anybody applying for here”.
“ The lady Lawson fired the other day would be the manager, I contacted her already”. I answered her.
“I can get a cleaner from the agency if I am ready. That makes us ten in total, we are complete for a start and we are good to go” I am in a happy mood.
Everything is set now but I think it will be a good idea to throw a small party for the grand opening.
“Roselyn, what do you think about us having a small party to open the studio” I needed her opinion.
“ That's a great idea, let's dive into the preparation. Firstly you should post on all your social media handles, indicate the date and venue of the event, let them know there will be free samples like nail painting, quick make-up touch-up, free simple hair styles, and so on. That will make them come in multitudes when they hear free things. Invite your family and friends, nearby business owners and we are good to go”. She explains how to go about it.
“We can also sell something to them on that day, maybe at a reduced price. Things like
Make up kits, nail quick fix packages etc at a budget-friendly rate”. I also suggested.
“ Yes we can do that too, it's a nice idea”. Roselyn commented.
I left Roselyn’s place happy and fulfilled. I got home and informed Caroline about the studio grand opening and she was happy for me.
I tried calling Mom but her lines were not going through, so I called Dad.
“ Hello Dad, long time. I officially invite you to my beauty studio’s grand opening which is coming up on Friday 24th of October 2025, at 3 pm. I will be glad if my invitation is honoured.”
“I am so proud of you girl, I know you would be successful in life. When have you been planning this? Alright I will surely be there”.
“ I have been planning it for a while now, Mom's number is not going but I will call her back to inform her too, thanks Dad”.
I called so many people that I know and want to be there. I called Grace too but she didn't pick and I gave up.
I tried Mom's number again and she picked up immediately.
“ Mom, how is your health, hope you are good now. Sorry for not checking up on you always. I finished setting up my beauty studio and the grand opening will come on Friday, the 23rd of October 2025. Will you be available to honour my invitation?” I asked stylishly
“ Of course I would be there, thank you, my daughter” she said.
“ Please help me inform Grace, she didn't pick up my call”.
“ I will do just that, she might be busy picking up calls”. She gave an excuse on her own behalf.
I waited for Lawson to get back before I retired to the bed but to no avail. When it was some minutes to 12 pm and he wasn't back, I went to bed and didn't see him come back for the night.
I didn't see his car downstairs in the morning either.
“ Caroline, has Lawson left for the office this morning?” I asked to clear my doubt.
“ No, he didn't come home yesterday and I have not seen him today either”. She said
We heard the door open and he walked in with his rough dirty clothes.
“ You are welcome” Caroline greeted him.
“ Lawson, I waited for you all night before I finally slept off, where are you coming from this morning?” I asked him gently
“ I don't have time for this early morning chit chat, I need to get to work”. He rushed upstairs to freshen up and change into a new suit and trousers.
I went upstairs to meet him.
“My beauty studio is ready, the grand opening is coming up on Friday 24th of October 2025. I would like you to honour my invitation. Come and
See what I put in place”.
He didn't answer, and he left for work without saying anything.
This is unbelievable; is this not the same Lawson who promised me heaven and earth?At first, I wondered what I had done to him that made him change his mind towards me, but I concluded that he wasn't a baby who didn't know what he wanted.I thought we now had a perfect home since I can see traces of him changing, and the way he supported me in the last few days, but it's clear to me now that he has chosen the path he wants to follow and the way he wants to find happiness.We can find how we chose to be happy separately, and I can say I would also find a way to. I went upstairs, freshened up, and retired to my bed. I slept as if nothing had happened. I promised myself not to react or say anything about what happened between Sussie and Lawson tonight.The next morning, I woke up healthy and sound. I went downstairs and saw Caroline in the kitchen preparing breakfast. I don't feel like seeing or talking to either Sussie or Lawson. “ Good morning Caroline, can you please make my breakf
I think Grace explained what happened in my house when she got home. I finished eating, and Caroline brought my phone because I had a call.I didn't want to pick up the call since it's my Dad, but I gave it a second thought and answered it.“ Hello, Dad, it's been a while, I am good. Nothing happened, we are fine. Lawson sends his regards too. Bye.” I didn't give him any chance to feel pity for me. But deep down, I am not fine with what's happening.I had a second thought about why Dad could be calling. It might be that he wanted to query why I had to call the officers for Grace or why we chased her out of our home, not feeling any pity for me because someone got pregnant for my husband. I didn't even give him a chance to ask questions.But something is not clear to me. Why is Grace questioning Lawson when he asked her to leave? Is there something I need to know or is there something they are not telling us?I will keep an eye on them.We retired to the bed for the night and it occurr
The look on Grace’s face when she saw Sussie was indeed questionable. And even though she asked the question as if she owned the house.“ I am carrying Lawson's baby, that's why I am staying here.” She responded.I barely made it upstairs when I heard Grace screaming, which gave me no choice but to go back downstairs to intervene.“ Why won't these people allow me to rest for crying out loud, it's just from one problem to the other." I voiced our loudI got downstairs and discovered it was Sussie and Grace again.What could be the problem? Do they know each other from somewhere or what could be the reason they are shouting at each other?“ You got pregnant for who?” I heard Grace ask Sussie who was perfectly seated on the sofa.“ What's your problem with that? And how is it your business? Rachel being Lawson's wedded wife didn't complain, so I don't know why you are being dramatic here.” She said gently“ You can't be pregnant with my sister's husband, they are legally married so it's
I arrived at work unhappily, you should know the reason for that. Now that I think I have finally accepted to be wholly, I prayed he would change into a better person as promised and live happily ever after.I promise myself not to be dramatic during the whole pregnancy situation, and if Lawson happens to be the father of the child, I will adopt the child if it were mine.“Rachel, where are you?” Grace is shouting from outside my studio“ You don't want to answer me right? You'd better come out. I know you are in your office, come out.” She was shouting at the top of her voice outside.“ Your sister is outside creating a scene, we don't know what the problem was, she doesn't want to come in, but she insists you come outside”. She said hurriedly and left.I peeked through the blinds and saw her pacing outside the studio, yelling my name loud enough to turn heads across the block.My hands shook as I grabbed my phone. I don't want any drama from Grace, not today.I dialled an emergency
She looked at me as if she should give me a slap, but I ignored her and led the way to the room we wanted to appoint for her.“ This will be your room, stay where you are asked to stay, and don't trespass”. I said and was about to leave. Lawson was behind me looking like a lost sheep.“How can this untidy room be my room? I need a room upstairs, don't forget I am carrying Lawson's child.” She stood outside the room, she didn't want to go inside.The room is not untidy, it's beside Caroline’s room. It was the room Lawson locked me in when he brought those girls. It's not that bad. I cleaned it when I was staying there.“ You can't get any room upstairs, so you should stay here. The room upstairs is not for an Intruder like you. You can't come here from nowhere and start ordering people around just because you are carrying a baby that hasn't been confirmed as mine”. He said and went upstairs.“ I know it's this witch you call your wife that is controlling you, how can you put your baby
What do you mean by that statement? You barge into someone's house very early in the morning, and you dare to talk trash” I fired back.She looked at me from head to toe with a disdainful expression, hissed, and then looked at Lawson.“ Lawson, what is going on here? Tell me it's not what I am thinking?” She wanted an answer for whatever she was thinking at that moment.She was fully in the sitting room now, as Lawson left the doorway to sit on the sofa.“ I don't know whatever thing you are thinking but let me clear the air, I am Mr Lawson’s lawful wedded wife, therefore standing right before you here is Mrs Lawson.” I dropped the bombshell and sat beside my husband.I can tell she was shocked, it was very obvious to the extent that she couldn't control it“You must be joking, Lawson, tell me that what this harlot said is nothing but a lie.” She faced him but Lawson kept mute and I hung onto him.“Lawson says something, is it true you are married? No wonder you always ignore my calls
I made sandwiches and tea for breakfast.“Breakfast is ready, come down and eat,” I called Lawson who is still upstairs getting ready for the office.“I will join you soon,” he replied. He was downstairs as promised and we ate breakfast together.“ Thanks for breakfast. Would you like it if I drop
It's been a long time since I had sex, even before Lawson and I quarrelled, but I must confess, this is one of the best, it excites me the way he touches every part of my body.There is a question I used to ask myself, why can't I resist his touch? Why can't I ignore him when he touches me and act
I am happy that the case is closed now. Lawson learnt his lesson in a big way. Aaron also received compensation from Lawson. Of course, that would never be a problem for a billionaire. Everybody is good.What will be my faith now that the case is closed, I am still staying with Roselyn and Lawson b
I met Lawson in the hallway talking to his lawyer, I had to wait for him to be through with the lawyer before approaching him.“Hi Lawson, how have you been? I hope you are good? Just take it easy with yourself everything will be alright”. I didn't even know what to say to him.“ I am fine as you c
