It has been three weeks since the restaurant incident happened but the tension between Austin and Chase was as loud as an empty vessel. Even the board members could sense that there was something amiss between the two…but no one dared say anything."Lana, give these to Mrs Martin and tell her to go through them before I can sign anything" Austin said to his assistant giving her the files. Lana turned to leave when…"By the way tell her to see me…there's something we need to discuss" he said, still emensed in his work. He didn't hear the closing of the door, hence he looked up only to meet with a nervous Lana. He had been working with the little girl for a long time to know when she's hiding something from him."Okay, spit it out Lana! What's the matter?" He shoved the files that were on his desk aside and leaned back on his chair."Well, sir madam is not in the office building…she went out with Mr Morris " Lana said fiddling with her hands. Austin squinted his eyes."When did they lea
**TEN YEARS LATER**Everything had changed so much in these ten years. Anastasia died from cancer and Treyton couldn't handle the news so he died too. Thomas died in a car accident together with Clive and Violet. The only elder that was left was Ellis. Even her health was deteriorating day by day.Nonetheless, the family stayed together despite the fact that there were so many assassination attempts on them. These ten years had been their best years and sad years.Janice and Jean were sixteen and Athena was ten years. Her features were of Kamala and Nevena combined. She had such a terrible temper. All the servants were afraid of her. Despite acting like a spoiled brat, she was good to her cousins.The family went to various vacations including the house Jean asked Kamala to build for him and the resort in Thailand which people turned to love and spend their family vacations with.Now they were at one of their mansions enjoying their own time."I don't get why you guys need to make a m
"How could you do this to me huh?" He said pacing back and forth. He was bound to get frustrated especially with the woman before him."I trusted you with my life and you dared do this to me!" He growled so much that, if it was possible the house would've shook."Please, I'm begging you Austin. It was a mistake!" Blessing kneeled down wailing like a widow. She didn't expect her husband to find her in bed with his brother. She was sure to die seeing the raging monster before her. It Was rare to see Austin this angry."I see it was a mistake… but with my brother!" He said as he shook his bitterly. His wife of 5 years dared to sleep with another man, that too in his house."Tell me, for how long?" He asked calmly. Shifting his to Jordan who had now wrapped a towel around his lower body… smirking at him."What does it matter brother?" Jordan asked in an 'i don't care' manner. Austin could feel his blood boiling."How long damn it?!" He asked as he threw the nearby vase on the floor. Bles
Honey, don't you think it's time you get some rest and give a some quality time to your family?" Blessing, Austin's wife said as she handed him a cup of cocoa milk which is his favourite. "I mean you have spent almost two nights, still sketching the best paintings... that you are to present to the investors on Thursday" what Blessing said made sense. It has been a week since Austin has started doing sketches... not like he had no employees in doing so; but he wanted nothing but the best...that's why he decided to get involved. And now that seems like a big mistake, for his wife was busy enquiring how thin he is, all because he had spent a night in the office. "Aus! I'm talking to you" Austin who had his head between his hands, while propping them on his knees, continued to stared at the glass of cocoa milk which he had emptied a second ago....wondering when his wife would give him a chance to answer all her questions. "I know... Bless, you care for me but i need to crack this deal
The day dawned crisp and clear, the bright sunlight seeping through the curtains…as the gentle breeze of the morning entered the room. Another day has dawned …bringing with it new hopes and aspirations. Birds chirping. Blessing twisted and turned around the bed, as she fought with the blankets, trying to shield her from the blazing sun seeping through. She patted the right side of the bed, in search of her soft, yet hard teddy bear with muscles…only to moan as she smelled the cologne that wafted through her nose and has literally filled the room. The cologne that always made her frenzy…she loved smelling it.Tying her knee length silky maroon bathrobe; Blessing jumped from the bed and wore her fluffy pink slippers that adorned her feet and went into the closet.‘Morning honey!’ she said as she back hugged Austin and rubbed her face on his backMorning sweetheart! Have you seen my black tie? He asked. I just seem to forget where I’ve put it. He asked as he turned her around, facing Ble
Austin was ready to punch him when Leonardo answered‘No! I am not sir and… I’m even surprised that you just asked me this question!’ He said, quivering like a scared cat. His boss was impossible …only because he was jealous he thought about such a thing!Bloody hell!...“You better not lie to me Leon!!...otherwise you know what I’m capable of…” he said to poor Leon who was sweating profusely and dramatically fell on his knees as he tried to convince his boss; whose jealousy was getting the best out of him.“Then why do I feel like she’s in love with not me?” he said as his eyes flashed with anger. He was angry for nothing such that he forgot his wife was the mother of his kids and would never betray him in this lifetime.What a man!Leon who was now standing, looking at his impossible boss…wondering why he would speak such blasphemy…“I mean, why would my wife always get angry with me if I don’t grant you leave or give you a break? Better yet why would she prefer giving you her homem
AT THE AUSBLI DECORATIONS AND RENOVATIONS early in the morning; employees were busy receiving orders, to either decorate or renovate customer houses. And most people who made the orders were the mistresses who obviously came from the rich families, who actually thought so high about themselves and thought they were in a good space…due to the upcoming Christmas, the employees were rather busy to notice anything going on around them…especially a pair of sexy creamy legs walking in through the thick rectangular glass hinged at the tiled floor going sideways as the person goes in.She cat walked…even though she was at least a bit old, she still looked good and so natural…so sexy, with that blue silky dress that hugged her figure, and a black coat over her shoulders, she looked rather intimidating…especially on those long gold stilettos. She seemed to be in her late forties. As she walked in, she looked sideways as if looking for someone.Looking at the office bustling with busy employees;
“Austin… I knew you were married, but you did not tell me that you have such a gorgeous lady in your home” Kate said through gritted teeth, hating every minute, admitting saying Blessing was gorgeous…“Oh! My bad…I’m Kate Jones” she said while looking at Austin through the corner of her eyes“I’m Blessing Austin Martin '' she said, stressing her name.“Your eyes are precious…where did you get them?” she continued as she pinched her hand…since they were still shaking hands.Kate made a fake laugh, as she retrieved her gaze from Austin.“Ah Blessing!...how can someone buy eyes? And why would you think that I bought them?” she said as she retrieved her hand from the tight hold.“Oh! That’s because it’ll be a sad occasion if you were to lose your eyes” Blessing said as she put a sad smile on her face. Of course Kate was no fool to understand the meaning behind her words.Austin smirked…seems like his wife met her match.“Okay ladies…calm down will” he had to extinguish the fire before it
