She groaned in her sleep but that didn't drive his attention away from the large glass window. She stirred, slowly waking up from her slumber.
She smiled when she remembered the events of last night before letting her eyes opened. She turned only to find the other side of the bed empty. This was not how she expected her morning after a mind blowing sex to play out. She looked around until her eyes landed on the figure that was staring out in space. She watched him for a while as he stood in front of the glass window. The day was still dark but she was guessing the time to be around 6 in the morning.
She sighed and sat up. "Why aren't you in bed? Is something wrong?" She pinched the bridge of her nose when she got no answer.
"When did you get up?" She tried again. Still nothing.
He was on nothing but a pair of trousers. His toned back was left to her display as he
***(Week skip)He watched from a distance as Clarissa tied her hair in a messy bun. She began her steps back into her office immediately and so he waited. When she was just at arm's length, he pulled her to himself swiftly turning to trap her against the wall hearing nothing more than a gasp."What are you doing? let go," She said almost in a whisper."What do you think I'm doing? I'm making you forgive me." He answered for her and she sighed. "Are you seriously going to continue ignoring me? Till when do you get to talk to me?""Daniel you need to stop this, we are not doing this now-" she was interrupted when he locked his lips with hers. Swift with his motion, his breath fanned her face."I can't let you stay mad at me. For God's sake I am losing my mind here let's forget what happened. I was stupid and I swear I won't do it again, forgive me
***Dear diary,Everything will be how I ever wanted it soon. Every bit of my fantasies, every thoughts I've had. Her lips will finally be against mine after a long time. There would be nothing that'll pull us apart again and that's because we belong together. ---She dropped the flowers at the grave right after cleaning the face of it."I finally came to see you," She knelt besides it. "I'm sorry I couldn't come see you before."Clarissa sniffed."Now I understand what you said Mia, Ihave yet to be accustomed to this whole love thing. I never told you this before, but I'm sorry for allowing Bane give me the gift first, it should have been you. Maybe if that happened you wouldn't have hated me so much."Mia wasn't one to be negative. Although they were twins, they were the complete
***"You're back home early today again. Is it going to be a thing now?" Audora said as she helped him unknot his tie."Maybe. I'm practically still multitasking, I need to make sure the environment is really safe for us.""Just us?" She raised a brow at him and he couldn't help laughing."I can't help it sweetheart, I'm just so excited for the baby to come and trust me nothing is going to happen to the both of you." He kissed her swiftly before heading towards the dressing room to take off his jacket."Look at you all acting caring, I'm only but pregnant." He gave her a look that said otherwise and she couldn't help but roll her eyes in amusement.'men!' she murmured."And now I'll be heading out," he winked at her."But you just got here," she whined.
***Becky heaped the files on her table immediately after fetching them from her boss's office. Daniel was just on the phone with her a minute ago, telling her that he would work from home for the mean time. All she needed to do was to bring some important files he needed to attend to.Her phone rang and she picked it, excusing herself from her table and walking to Hailey's table to say something to her. Hailey nodded in understanding and Becky walked away. Ending the call, she picked up her bag, swinging it over her shoulder and then she carried the files."Oh Good morning ma'am," The woman with a particular silky raven black hair turned to the receptionist and nodded before walking further.The receptionist held back whatever she wanted to say. Surely there was no need to question her. After all, she was the wife of the CEO. The woman stopped walking when she saw a familiar face walk p
***"You think? Can you be more formal please?" Daniel was first to speak up. "If you know then quit beating around the bush.""I tried calling her yesterday way before I heard the news about her kidnapping.""Well, did she pick up?"Clara hesitated. "I mean she did pick up but it was like she didn't even know that she did," Clara looked at the worried family. "I think she dropped her phone or something because I heard a crash then the line went dead."The whole family almost gave out worried sighs. Daniel combed his hair in frustration for the nth time that day."But, I have a friend. He was our high school friend, he majored in information technology and he was able to help me out last night. Though it cost me alot." Clara told them."Well how much do you want then? A million?" Daniel frowned.
***( Flashback)...He paid the woman that just sold him a box of chocolate before heading back to the car. Darius sighed when he heard the music of his ring tone.This is what he gets for closing early from work. "Yes lieutenant Gabriel," he answered."What is it?""Well we just found out that Phillip hadn't visited his gambling site for a two months, what do you think?""Well...shouldn't that be because he had no money?""From what he have here, he still had enough points yet he didn't access the account....that's something unfamiliar with gamblers." "Look this issue, we'll look well into it when I come into the office tomorrow, i -" he was interrupted when someone bumped into him. The man literally had
***"Did you get the papers signed?""Look, I need more time." Kara told him."Much to your dismay, there isn't any left. I need the papers signed and brought to me as agreed Kara." With that, he hung up.She sighed heavily. At first, he demanded a huge sum and now he wants something even bigger. Things weren't going as planned and she hated every bit of the moment. What was she going to do now? The greatest mistake she will make is to make her son to sign some papers when he was already devastated. At least, she couldn't let Jack know if she had the papers signed just yet. She had to make sure that he was willing to reach a compromise."Mom," the voice called out and she could froze.Oh, shit-She shouldn't have put the call onspeak out.***Daniel combed his hair in f
***Darius had now confirmed his doubt. He sighed replaying her conversation the other day.(Flashback)Having his jacket on his shoulders, Darius walked out of his room. He was a minute late for his shift and so he hurried down the passage. He quickly took out his phone, sending a call to Gabriel to cover up for him. He frowned when he heard a disturbing shriek. Ending the call, he walked further into another corner of the passage, where the noise came from. It was his wife's parents room. He remembered Audora going out to get groceries along with a servant while the office was busy lately. That left Kara and him, then who could she be angry at?..."Jack, I didn't cause her death okay? How would I have known she worked there? Now for your benefits, don't call me ever again, do you hear me?.
