You would think after three years of marriage we would be growing stronger and our love would be flourishing like we predicted it would, but instead, it's quite the opposite.Walking away from him into our house from that dreadful party he dragged me to, I unzip my dress pulling down the straps and letting it pool down my feet. Kicking off my heels and ignoring his calls for me to stop.Walking upstairs to our room, I took off my undergarments letting them leave a trail behind me, normally I wouldn't make such a mess but I am just tired of everything.Entering the bathroom, I took a shower trying to show him how much I'm not interested in his whining. As the hot water cascaded on my brown skin, I let my tears be one with the water, I couldn't hold on anymore. I couldn't pretend that I'm okay with everything, turn a blind eye to everything he does for the sake of keeping our marriage together, to make sure that our vows live just like we promised eac

Two  years laterThe men all sat in a room going through the files their bosses assistant had handed out to all of them. Studying the contents and learning everything in detail they waited for him to come in and brief them.Ezekiel stared at the picture of the girl in the file memorising every feature and curve, he found her extremely gorgeous and enchanting. Paging through the file he learnt more about her, her age being twenty-four she was young, really young and he couldn't understand how she somehow fell in Reed's radar.Although he was admiring the girl, Ezekiel was one to always do his job without any distractions, and he only hoped he wouldn't be stuck with monitoring.Reed entered the room, and just as the room was quiet, it stayed quiet waiting for the boss to speak. "The file you're all looking at is of Robyn Barreau, Bellamy's 'ex' wife," he raised his fingers in inverted commas before putting his

HOW WE MET.I was standing in front of the wall trying to navigate where my first class was, I came early so that I could find it quicker but no luck here. Giving up I turned around and somebody bumped into me making my books fall.The person quickly helped me pick up my books and left in a rush, he didn't even bother to offer me an apology. Walking away to the class that was just down the hall, I entered and it wasn't fully packed yet.Sitting alone, I took out my note pad and I doodled as I waited for the class to begin, for one this isn't what I wanted to take but my mother said accounting would be the best foundation for me and a great career, I would just 'fit in great'. One thing with my mother is that I never have a say against her word, it's either I do as she says or get out of her house, perks of being the only daughter, I have three older siblings and they are all boys and have absolutely nothing next to their names yet t

It had been four months since Ezekiel moved into the building, and had been two months of us having conversations while we drank tea, he still didn't like it, but I vouch he would come over not only for the conversation but for the tea he so 'hates'."You won't believe what Mrs Hades asked me today!" I exclaimed remembering my conversation with her today earlier on before I went to work."What did she ask you?" he asked amused already knowing where this was going, so Hades had to be the woman who knew everybody's affairs and I mean everybody in this whole building, if you ever wanted to get information from her about your enemies, all you had to have was a bottle of wine and some weed, and get everything you ever wanted to know from her that easily!She is in her sixties and she has quite a tall finger, it just seems shorter because she's old and it looks like she's bending over slightly. She was slender and had deep burgundy hair that was cut short but it defin

Ezekiel and I were at the park looking at everyone as they strolled by while we ate our ice-cream, this was completely peaceful and I won't lie, my eyes did find themselves looking at his naked torso. It was just so structured and...I have no idea what else I could say. Ezekiel was just a beautiful man and there's nothing more to that."So...that's your family?" Eze asked as he slowly swung himself. "Yup," I mumbled as I licked my ice-cream."When did they arrive?""Today, unexpectedly, don't know for how long," I shrugged, I love my family, I really do but sometimes it just becomes too much and suffocating to live together as a whole, especially since they all decided to bless their presence in my life for only they know how long."You don't seem really excited about them being here," he commented and I sighed."Let's go home," I said getting off the swing."Hey, you didn't get on the slide!" he offered and I smile
