I was not expecting to see Ivan at this event, he looked so pale. I noticed he kept looking at me all through the event. And I tried my best to avoid his gaze. Even though there were lots of people in this space, I could still feel his presence and so I went out, to get fresh air. And I hoped he would not come after me. Rio overreacted by hitting Ivan, but I could have still defended him but no, I foolishly followed Rio and left him on the floor. Ivan would hate me even more. "Why did you do that??" "I was only saving you from that pervert. And you should be grateful""Grateful for what exactly?" "From saving you from the hands of a rapist"I pulled out of his grip. "That was no rapist. He was not trying to rape me""Didn't look like that to me" "Just let me be Rio" I walked away from him and went to get my stuff. I took an excuse from our boss and left for my house. I took a taxi and went home. When I got home, I lay in my bed and I could not stop thinking of Ivan. He must r
I couldn't believe Samantha would do this to me and to think she was my best friend. I was dragged because she sold the contract to the news. How did she get it in the first place?. All this while I thought it was Veronica was the culprit but the culprit was right under my nose eating, drinking and laughing with me.I was such a fool for not suspecting anythingJesse was as shocked as I was, if I didn't check her phone yesterday I wouldn't have found out the truth about this. I wouldn't even have known she had anything to do with this. Jesse told Sam she never wants to set her eyes on her and so did I. I have been kind to her ever since we first met and I loved and treated her like my sister, I shared everything with her and all I get back is betrayal.Is this what betrayal felt like? This is worse than what I felt when I was being insulted on the net.My phone rang and Jesse was calling me. I answered it"Hello""Have you given the phone to Ivan?""Why do I have to give to phone to
IVAN'S POVFor the weeks since I saw Adelia at that event, she had been on my mind. The nerve of that boy to walk away with my woman. I was furious at Adelia for leaving with him.I was in my office scrolling through the monthly reports. I had given the employees clear instructions not to disturb me. There was a knock on the door."These people never understand simple instructions" I thought angrily"Come in" I said grumpily"I thought I said I didn't want any disturbance" I said not lifting my head to see who it is"I didn't get that information" I knew that voice and I looked up to see the person I've been thinking about for weeks, the memories of that night came back and I was angry again."What are you doing here?" I said checking her out, my eyes linger on her breasts. I am supposed to be angry at this woman but here I was checking her out. I felt blood rush to my groin, I had not had sex since Adelia."I asked you a question. Why are you here Adelia?"I said calling her name with
IVAN'S POVI called my private investigator Mr Louis Anterro, I called him during emergencies when I had to find out about somebody immediately or when I wanted him to look into my clients if they had any shady business or not. I needed him to quickly locate Adelia and where she was currently.I dialed his number and he picked up almost immediately" Mr Montero, how may I be of help?" He asked"Louis I need you to locate someone for me quickly""Who is that?""Adelia Katherine Cinzia, I need all information about her. Where she works, lives and her mobile phone""Is she not the woman who was on the new some months back?. Are you still involved with her?""I don't have time to answer those questions Louis. I need that information immediately" I said"I'm on it now" I heard some clicking in the background "okay. I got it, I'll forward it to you now"Thank God. What I liked about Louis is that he was efficient and the best at what he does. I trusted him enough not to say a word about thi
IVAN'S POVDespite my apologies, Adelia refused to listen to me but there was no way I was going to give up. I would prove to her how sorry I am and make sure she believes and trusts me again. How was I so blind to the truth?" I had accused her and even said the wrong words to her even when she said she did not do it. I was very foolish. I was so restless. I kept calling her lines but she refuse to pick up her calls. I was pacing around my apartment when Andre came in. "What is the problem man?" "I have messed things up" "How?? What did you do?" "Adelia was not the one who leaked the contract" "What!!!?... who did?" "Her friend did""Wooo!! Don't tell me Jesse did that because I won't believe that" "No not Jesse... her other friend" "Samantha?" "Yes... Samantha and I are going to make sure she pays for it" "So what is Adelia saying now" "She doesn't want to forgive me for not trusting her" "Well she's right.. you gave up on her so quickly and you didn't even think twi
IVAN'S POVThe get-together was barely over when I and Adelia left the place. I could not wait to take her home. I missed her so much and sure she missed me too. I allowed her to spend time with her family. From the way she was surprised to see them here, I feel like she hasn't gone to see them. The moment we got to the house I started kissing her and she kissed me back in return I grabbed her and carried her up to my room and in no time we were both naked. I turned to face her and held her so close to me while I admired her beautiful face. "I missed kissing your sweet lips"And then I kissed her gently and she responded."I love you Adelia more than anything and I wanted to make sure you knew that." "I love you too Ivan"I then moved my lips over hers and kissed her again, this time it was slow and deep"She responded to my kisses instantly and she pressed herself closer to me. I moaned a little I felt her softness and warmth against me, and my cock hardened almost immediately. S
IVAN'S POV We got home really late last night, we took our shower and cuddled then slept off. Adelia l woke up first and when I woke up she was already getting dressed for work. "Are you going to continue working there?" "Yes and I have explained everything to you""I do not like the idea""You have to deal with it""Can't you change your mind"She came closer and kissed me. "I wish I could change my mind just like that. See you later" And she left. I had tried all I could to convince Adelia to resume work back at the hotel but it was futile. She made up her mind to continue working at the eatery and I hated it so much. So I came up with something, it was time she got her place and become her boss as she wanted. I set up a meeting with some good architects to draw a wonderful plan for a 5star restaurant and made Andre supervise it. I had to do other things that includes teaching Samantha a lesson. She messed up with the wrong person and I was not going to let it slide. Samant
These past few weeks with Ivan had brought me so much peace and I had no doubts in my heart that he loved me so much. He had asked me to move in and I did. He made sure I got everything I needed even without me asking. He was so sweet. He had insisted I come back to work Nat the hotel but I didn't want that. I wanted to be independent and build my empire and I meant every bit of it. Ivan was not happy with my choice but I had made up my mind and there was no going back. It was another morning and I was already dressed for work. I tried as much as possible to avoid any arguments with Ivan concerning my job not matching up to my status as his girlfriend and all. I understood what he meant though but he had to take me as I was. I rushed off to work and as usual, Rio was always and would always be a pain in my ass. Although we had started getting along, he was quite annoying sometimes and I didn't fail to let him know. Rio had asked me out on several occasions but I had turned him do
