CXII: The road to forever
The stillness within and without was the first thing Cainan took notice of as he regained consciousness and soon after, his lashes lifted and he beheld a blurry shadow pacing around not so far away.
What a very weird dream he had had, being chased around with Jasmin and then shot and stabbed.
He made out the white painted walls, ceiling and blue curtains hanging on the window through his dimmed vision and his head did a mental recall of the event that might have led to this, but came up short.
The clearer his vision became, the harder his head ached, and he shut his eyes as the pain in his head grew worse.
“Shit!” he cussed and groaned loudly.
How the hell did he end up here?
“Cainan,” he heard Ada’s voice snapping him out of his thoughts, and a moment later she took his hand in hers. “Oh, thank goodness you’re finally awake.” She breathed in relief and took her seat

A few days later, Jasmin was holding onto a bunch of lily flowers and she wore a long silver gown that littered with every move she made. Lisa told her it was going to give her the best look two days ago, and she believed. Cainan was in a black tux and red bow tie and sat in his wheelchair, awaiting her arrival at the altar. He was taking Rogue’s advice and also grooming a beard and a few stubbles were on his face. Jasmin told Cainan she wanted to be married to him a few days ago at the hospital and despite being confined in bed, Cainan moved to plan for the wedding, which would be a small one with only family and friends. After they released him from the hospital, the doctor gave strict instructions that he made use of the wheelchair to help heal and restore him to his full strength before walking and so he had done in these past days while planning the wedding.

Xoxo “Get back here!” shouted one officer who was chasing Jasmin while she ran across the street to the other side, brushing past a few people walking on the street as well and then running ahead into the first building she came across. Who knew stealing a diamond would be so difficult? How she was being chased now, even when she had got in a few times, pretending to be a parent making inquiries about the dayca
The CEO's Contract With the thief II: Hiding her Imperfection
“How much would it go for?” She asked the owner of the pawnshop, Usman, as he carefully examined the Rolex with his glasses. He set the glass down and looked up at her, “I’d give you fifty thousand naira.” “Fifty thousand naira?” Jasmin exclaimed in disbelief. It's obviously a rip-off. “I know it’s worth four times to that money. I googled it before coming over here.” “Okay, go right ahead and sell it to G****e then.” Usman replied and handed the Rolex back to her, but when she didn’t collect it, he sighed and added, “sixty thousand and that’s my last offer to you.” She knew her back was against the wall with her piled-up bills for home and check-up, she nodded and he went to his drawer and counted out the money before handing it to her. Three weeks later, “The dinner would be a great way to earn extra cash because we will get paid two thousand naira an hour and the program I heard is going to last for over three
The CEO's Contract With the thief III: The many shades of trouble
The dinner kicked off at exactly eight p.m., although not all the guest was present, over two-thirds of them were already present and available and with the guest, the dinner kicked off while in anticipation of others. There was music, art and comedy, as well as a brief talk section and the dinner was going to be filled with fun activities than last week's birthday party, from the look of it. The ushers were to direct the guest to the table, while the waiters served the guest already seated. George was right. Although they were in the same uniform, each of them knew their various roles for the night and they carried it out in perfection. Jasmin noticed that Anita and she were the only waiters from their restaurant as the rest faces looked new and when she told Anita, she confirmed her observation. "You're right, Jasmin, we are the only ones from Royal Palace restaurant." Anita confirmed and moved ahead
The CEO's Contract With the thief IV: Not threatened
She had hoped to never see him again after their first and last encounter, and there were many reasons for that. First, because unlike most people around her now, he knew she was a thief. Secondly; she had stolen his Rolex after he saved her from the police three weeks ago. Third, because he was probably looking for her and make her pay for stealing from him. And last, he didn’t like her very much, and the feeling was mutual and so the last thing she needed, especially now, was to be anywhere near him. “Sorry, I should get out of the way.” She spoke up after about a minute of silence between them, trying to act composed and neutral. He wouldn’t recognise her. A lot of changes in her physical appearance and there was also different lightning at work compared to the last time, so there was no way he could, but the look he had on his face said otherwise. He stuffed his hands into his pocket and did a brief stretch as his eyes scanned her f
The CEO's Contract With the thief V: The need for stability
"May I take your order, please?" Jasmin politely requested from the young lady who took her seat less than a minute ago and she held onto the order tablet where she would write on. "Yes, I want a bowl of catfish pepper soup and a bottle of Malta Guinness." She jotted the order on the electronic tablet and the preparation process and its duration pop up on the screen. "The soup would arrive in fifteen minutes, but your Malta Guinness is coming right up." The lady smiled at her, displaying her perfectly gaped set of teeth, and compelled, Jasmin smiled back before taking her leave. She grabbed the bottle of the soft drink and, placing it on the steel tray in her hand; she made her way out. After her encounter with Mr Inferno three days ago, she had wondered what exactly he was planning to do. He looked mad at first, but later wasn't. And he certainly
The CEO's Contract With the thief VI: Best love story
"What did he want?" Anita asked as Jasmin came to join her in the kitchen where she was passing the customer’s order to Andrew, the cook behind the kitchen island. Cainan told her earlier that he got her number from Anita and she still had a hard time letting that sit within her. "He said he got my number from you," Jasmin informed her, not answering her question straight away. Anita moved to the fridge and pulled out a bottle of beer and set it into her tray, "Yes, he seemed genuine when he said he was your childhood friend and so I believed, he also looks alright was what he said a lie?" "Not really, but we are definitely not childhood friend." Anita gritted her teeth and frowned at no one in particular. "That son of a bitch lied to me. What did he want then?
The CEO's Contract With the thief VII: Look where that brought you
She spotted Cainan already seated at the spot that he was yesterday and she made her way over to him and as she got closer; she noticed a file before him and she figured that was their agreement, drafted into a contract "You're late," was the first thing he said as she got to him and he looked at her. "Well, I'm here now," she grumbled. His eyes slowly took her in from head to toe, and she didn't miss the linger in his eyes with them when around her neck and chest before moving downwards to her hips and her feet. Satisfaction entered his eyes before vanishing at that same moment. She stood by her intuitions; he was creepy. "I can work with this, but if you're going to accept this proposal, you're going to have to understand there is no such thing as lateness. Seven a.m. is seven a.m., no later than that." He firmly instructed, his voice filled with so much authori
