We are currently sitting at “ La Bite ” restaurant owned by the Thompson's, sipping our coffee and waffles. Mrs. Thompson and Mom were going through a food magazine. I could glimpse different varieties of cakes in the magazine. I hope it isn't what I'm thinking.
“ So,” Lillian said as I turned to look at Lilian who was sitting beside me with a sleeping Joey in her hands. I raise my eyebrows, silently asking her to go on...
“ How does it feel? I mean you'll be getting married tomorrow. Do you feel jittery? ” Lilian asked, her voice a hushed whisper to my ears like she was telling me a secret.
I shrug as I sip my now cold coffee “ Nothing ” I replied Lilian gasp as she looked at me with shock in her eyes. I was surprised at her expression. Was I supposed to feel anything
“ Nina”I turned as soon as I heard my name being called. Lillian walked into my room in her white nighties glaring up at me. I don't know why she was angry. I was not doing anything wrong. I only stood at the window gazing out at the clear sky wishing for a clearer future from now onward.“ You haven't bathed? It's six am already” Lillian called to me, opening my closet to get my dress and shoes out.“ Get your ass into the bathroom this minute” She screamed up at me while she stood with her hands on her waist glaring at me seeing that I wasn't making any effort to compile.I rolled my eyes at her as I stepped away from the window and strolled to meet her where she stood in front of my wardrobe” Remind me again why you are
“ Deborah”I paused as soon as I heard Nina call that woman's name. I was on my way back from chatting with Vino and Victor who were leaving for Italy as they have pending issues to get to.I was about to come back to take Nina to the hotel where the reception was when I heard her whisper that name. I knew Nina wouldn't ever call her if she was not here which was why I moved closer to her and pulled her close to me seeing that she was shivering from fear...“ It's okay, Tesoro. I'm here now” I whispered to her as I hugged her close while kissing her hair with my eyes closed. I hate it when she's so afraid. Damn! That stupid Private Investigator that couldn't get a job done. After paying a huge sum of money to him, he couldn't find me a woman, just a woman in the same country we were in.
I crouched down on the thick grasses as soon as I felt Nina's eyes on me. Damn! That stupid girl!! I scowled in my mind. Even though I was in a disguise of a black long flowing gown and a black hijab. Shielding my face, I knew that Nina was smart to know that it was me. No sense human would be hiding under a shrub tree, away from the rest of the wedding guests but I just needed to catch a glimpse of my love. My man, Michael__ Speaking of him, I felt my heartbeat escalated in my chest even before I saw him walking down the cathedral to the front of the church dressed in a navy blue tuxedo where Nina's stood her face frozen and pale. I scowled as soon as I saw Michael envelop her in a hug. I was so angry that I was tempted to kidnap her, the second time and make sure she died for real but I had to remind myself that this wasn't just my revenge anymore. This was
I groaned as I tried to roll off the bed but I couldn't move my legs as it was entangled in Michael's hard pelvis. I tried to free my legs, to stand up but his grips on me tightened, I couldn't help rolling my eyes at him even in his unconsciousness, he was scared of losing me.“ Tsk! Like I'm going anywhere with his ring on my finger” I scoffed at his antics before trying to free his legs from mine.Gosh! I so hate you right now, Michael Thompson, I muttered to myself as I was dying to relive my bowel but this man just won't let me.“ Michael” I tapped him lightly on his bare chest while gulping nervously as I took a swift dab at my now dried lips. Even in his sleep, my husband was hot...No, Nina. You can think about that now. I chastised
“ Deborah” I called slowly to her as I gulped nervously. I watched as she took a slow step closer to me. I unconsciously step back in fear. What was she trying to do to me? And how did she find me?“ You can't escape from me, Nina” Deborah smirked as soon as she saw fear cross my face briefly before it disappeared.“ I'm not scared of you, Deborah” I glared at her trying to be brave but it was just a facade. I was dying inside while praying that Michael would come to find me soon.“ Really?” Deborah replied as she swift her head to the left to watch me with a smile on her face“ Then why are you sweating under the air con”I ignored her as I turned to pick up my phone which was lying on the sink. I badly wanted t
It's been two weeks since we've come back from Greece and I can't say I didn't enjoy myself. It was the best moments of my life and I treasure them well.Michael had also surprised me by giving me the best wedding gift I could ever ask for. I could still remember that day like yesterday, it was the day we came back from Greece...I watched as Michael dressed up that morning, he looked so handsome in a navy blue suit with a white shirt.I stood up sluggishly from the bed surprised to see him already dressed and ready for work. I still haven't decided where I wanted to work after the wedding, all I knew was that I won't be working at Pandora. That was Shane's business. For all I know, I don't like designing shoes.“ Hey, Angel. Good morning&rdqu
“ Aurora, come into my office now” I called into the intercom before settling back on my seat. Today has been stressful with having to sort out all businesses of the Thompson Empire and appointing trustworthy managers all around the world. I am married now, I need to give time for my family affairs. I don't want to be overburdened with the company's affairs and neglect my family. Nina was my family now“ You sent for me, sir” I came out of my thoughts to see Aurora standing in front of me. She was dressed in a pink jumpsuit.“ Yes. What else is on my schedule today?” I asked her, it was getting late. I want to be home early. I'm missing all the discussions Nina and I do have after dinner where she will tell me about her day and I do the same to her. I love seeing a smile on her face whenever she talks about her job. I could a
I rolled off the bed as soon I heard my phone rang and stood up to go pick it up. I had been pretending all morning because I couldn't bring myself to look into Michael's face without blotting out the truth.I can't believe he doesn't want children __ well, for now as he said. What am I to do now? I can't possibly have an abortion, this was my first baby...My God, Nina, you're so naive. Why didn't I think of his feelings and maybe ask him to use protection but alas no, I had to get pregnant almost immediately after the wedding. Who does that?“ Nina Miller, the stupid girl ” My subconscious replied as she dropped her drink on the table and turned to glare at me.I returned the stare and growled at
