"Sly?" Monica rubbed her eyes to make sure she wasn't dreaming. Sly took off his sunglasses, hooked it on the pocket of his blazer. "Yes, Monica, it's me, Sly. Did you think you could just leave me like that?" He uttered, striding towards her desk. Sly's analysis woke the rage in Monica. Yet, she calmed herself. No one in the company except for Ben, Elsie and Serena knew about her marital affairs therefore, she wasn't ready to let them in on it. "I only fulfilled your wish," she bitterly said. "Fulfil my next wish then," Sly said, as he sat on a chair in front of her. His thought patterns run wild. Monica knitted her brow, "what is that?" Sly leaned in, then said in a whisper, "I will only tell you if you promise to fulfil it." "Then you have to keep it because I won't make you any promises." Monica wasn't dumb. She knew how slimy Sly could be and now, she didn't want any of it. She was determined to move without her heart because she knew it

Sly's behaviour was odd. It was as if he was in a war zone. Each minute that passed with him thinking of Monica with Ben, made his blood burn like a hot furnace. Jealousy soiled with envy creased his brow. Sly never felt this way about anyone in his life before. Not even Claudia. Since he stepped into Atlanta, he hasn't enjoyed or thought of any pleasantries. The only name and image on his mind were Monica. No one understood his behaviour but they supported him relentlessly. After James packed up as Sly commanded and ordered for another Jet, they set off to the restaurant. When Sly alighted at the entrance of the restaurant of luxury hotel Ben took Monica, James drove to park at the car park. He pressed to stop the ignition and waited for Sly's next order. Sly was met at the entrance by Dickson, who handed him a handkerchief and whispered something in his ear. Since it was the VIP side, there were only four tables that were all occupied. Sly frowned at the notion. It would h

Monica gawked at the calm turquoise waters through the glass in amazement. She rubbed her eyes in unbelief. It couldn't be. She looked around eagerly for Sly but he wasn't there. She also realized that she wasn't in the dress she wore last night and recalled Sly saying he was going to rip it off her. Sly's fragrance was so strong around her. Reality revealed that she was wearing his shirt. She had mixed feelings of excitement, anger and rage. Suddenly, she thought that perhaps, it was a dream. Her two fingers grabbed a tiny bit of her skin, pressed in between them. A loud yelp eluded her, "ouch!" "Are you alright?" Sly's deep voice rang behind her. She turned to meet his concerned gaze. He dropped a tray of food on the nightstand table, the aroma of the food causing Monica's stomach to hum. "Is this real? I just pinched myself to see if I was dreaming." Sly forced a smile, Monica's frail form in his oversized shirt on her made him guilty. The fact that she withered r

Monica's heart leapt with joy. She felt as if she was dreaming. She couldn't believe her eyes when she saw her mom and dad in the villa. They were equally excited to see her, pulling her into a warm embrace. Sly had called Christiana to arrange a surprise party for Monica with the help of Dickson before he left Atlanta for Dubai with Monica. He recalled that everyone at home had seen Meg when she came; therefore, he wanted them to know that Monica was the only woman for him. Not only Monica's parents were there but Mr Herbert Norman and Veronica had arrived as well. Dickson had taken over the entertainment bit with his friends after inviting Gertrude over. The music wasn't too loud, it was easy to communicate among themselves. Kyle was there and so was Elsie but the person Sly wanted to see was James, who had made sure to bring Barbara along since she was now in her second trimester and much more energetic. This was a reunion Monica never imagined and it brought happy tears

Thanks to Sly’s big surprise, news travelled around the world through the media. Of course, not everyone was happy for them, especially Sly’s whores but there were equally genuinely excited people, even when the news travelled to Atlanta Georgia. When Ben watched the whole thing on national television, tears formed in the corners of his eyes but fortunately, they were happy tears. He felt that Monica deserved to be honoured for all she faced with Sly and Veronica and even Dickson. Therefore, he internally admired Sly for this action. Still, he wanted to share the news with someone. Serena had taken the day off to take care of Jackie since her mother had travelled to another state. He knew that Serena must have not heard the news and called to inform her. Unfortunately, Serena didn’t answer the call after five dials. Naturally, Ben grew impatient and decided to drive over to her house. Before he got to her gate, a white Hyundai Elantra drove out at top speed. He felt
