I stood close to the door, smiling sheepishly like a released prisoner, as I watched her stir in her sleep. She's the sweetest thing that ever happened to me, her olive skin, had goosebumps, and she folded her knees in a way that shows she's cold. I just smiled switch off the air conditioner, before walking down to the bed, to pull the duvet over her head yesterday i got her a new phone, and she had told me to teach her how to operate it, i had insisted she come to my room, which she refused vehemently, but after a lot of persuasion she gave in, and both of us had worked down to my room. "You know you should quit the stare, it's beginning to look creepy." She said, changing her sleeping position, like she's on her bed, and isn't going to school. Clearly, I do not mind staying here with her all day, to watch her sleep, or play with her finger when she's scared. It's so lovely, trust me. "Leonard… " I heard her mumble… I walked to her form, pushed back the hair on her face to stic

"If that is the case then you have my support Mr Luther." They all casted their vote, and those in support were more than those against, then I picked the file and signed it. I could have just signed it off, but dad would always say, if you wanna go far, walk or work as a team, but if you wanna go fast, work or walk alone. And that's just what i did. * Emily Pov. Was i too harsh? Or should i have allowed him have a pep at my boys, Damn. What if he wanna claim them, take my babies from me? Those rich folks can do and undo. With their connection and that she-devil with him, he could do anything drastic and dangerous. I can't just wait for this month to roll out, then i get the opportunity to take my adorable darlings out of this hell called place. It's annoying, seeing his face on every newspaper, every tabloid and billboards. Something that had always made me smile in times past, now became something that hurt me, something that creeps me out and gives me heart aches. "You are c

"Decent afternoon everyone, may I introduce to you the new CEO of our company." A man I have come to know as the Vice to Leo introduced me to the board of executives. I guess those that own shares in the company "Good afternoon ma'am" they all chorused. "Good afternoon everyone just like Mr. Patterson had said, My name is Emily Macbeth, the ex-wife to Mr. Leonardo Luther, and I hope y'all have heard the gist already. So there are some changes that are about to go down here, beginning with the rate at which you are gaining from your shares here." I began to hear murmurs, maybe they thought I was going to decrease their income rate. "Excuse me, Gents. When I said that, I meant that it's gonna fall on the increase, alongside the increment of the workers' salary by twenty-five percent and the republishing of our brands and changing of the name the company holds." They all stared at me in shock, not expecting me to talk about changing the name I guess. "Ma'am" an old man raised his han

"Are you going with them or not, i want to know those on my side and those against me." I said to the startled mary-rose…  "What in heaven's name is wrong with you Emily" she yelled as we both walked into the car, just coming back from the gym.  It's been yesterday since that shit happened, i knew i blew everything out but i just wasn't comfortable immediately i saw him, i know about their plan of keeping him closer but what if his visit was part of his plan to continue my ruin from where he had stopped through hannah.  "You have been muted since yesterday Mary, what prompted you to talk now?""Can you even hear your self Emily, you are like a sister to me, why would even doubt me, why would you even ruin all of our plans, just because of some of your paranoid insecurity reasonings? " "Paranoid insecurity you say? Jamal and Ja'far are there, and you are saying i am being paranoid? If anything. Anything happen to my babies, you think

Okay, even if I want to go, where's the nanny? I can't leave my boys alone, at all." As if the nanny heard them talking about her, the doorbell rang. "She's here already. dress up and let's go" Mary said as she walked out, with the aim to invite the nanny in. "Oh, Gosh. One can't even have a peaceful night's rest with Mary." Emilia whispered to herself as she groaned badly. "You and I know you should dress up, and don't think of doing anything funny" Mary yelled, with her voice echoing Emilia, walked to her closet to pick a moderate outfit for the night, stomping her feet on the ground, also careful not to wake her boys, even if deep within her she wanted them to wake up and start crying so she can have an excuse to stay the night. "We are going with either a black or white, or both" she muttered to herself, picking up an outfit for the night. "Okay… This should do it!" She concluded by picking a white crop top, a black leather pants and a black jean jacket, after almost goin
