CONNORGrace’s phone wasn’t going through at all.Ever since the news broke out early this morning, I had been trying to reach her. I called her mobile over a hundred time and that of her home countless times but she wasn’t answering either. I paced in my office restlessly wandering if she had seen it. Dumb. She must have seen it, definitely. How she would be feeling at this point was what was eating away my guts at this point. Marcus had rushed into my room this morning to bring me the news and gave me information on me it's source. I was about calling my lawyers to sue that damn newspaper and make them never print a word as long they live, when I discovered my mother was the one who tipped them off. She was the one who gave to those leeches the fake news about me in a bid to force me into marriage.I already told her I had absolutely nothing to do with Angela anymore, and I had no idea both of them still kep

GRACE.“Explain then,” I glared at him, pouring all the rage I was feeling into his eyes.At first, I wanted to stay inside NK’s room till he left like I told NK but I just couldn’t beat to hear him plead that way.I really didn’t want to see him ever again or hear whatever he had to say, but his persistence was driving me nuts. The desperation and urgency in his voice drew me out of the house. And I thought to myself; he wants to talk right? Then we might as well just hear his loads of excuses and get it over and done with.One thing was certain, I've been a reporter for more than five years. No Tabloids can carry an information like that without the person’s authorization or the company or agency they work for. He would have slapped them with heavy lawsuits if that wasn’t the case. So yeah, I wanna hear about it too, cuz I have been scrolling through articles since NK showed me that, looking

JODYI hurried into my home after work so I could drop off the work stuff with me before rushing to NK’s place to see Grace. I called NK first as Gracie’s number wasn’t reachable to know the situation of things but NK told me Grace had left after Connor came to her place persisting that he must talk to her.Connor Shelby went to NK’s house? Jeez! I’m just surprised, not really impressed because he was still a two timing bastard. I said I was going to see Grace at home then, but NK advised against it, saying she needed some time by herself. “What about Laurel?” I asked, "Grace had gone to pick her up earlier than normal," NK told me. “Alright then, let’s just keep trying to reach her on phone and by tomorrow or next, we’ll go see her.” I suggested and NK agreed. I ended the call and sent Grace a voicemail and text messages to ask how she was d

I tried to struggle, to fight him off, but he wrapped his arms around my waist and held me tighter to his rock hard body.“Jody.” He said my name in a really soothing manner with his head resting on my shoulders. “I know my boss, and I know he is not that kind of person. I’m not that kind of person too. We would never intentionally hurt the person we care about. He would definitely make things right with your friend, I promise.”My heart morphed into Jelly at his words as I wrapped my tiny arms around his neck and hugged him back. He drew back a little and rested his lip on mine, sending waves of tingles all over my nerves. I let him in as he tongue gently took control of my whole mouth and senses. I have been with quite a number of men in my life but I couldn’t remember the last time a man made me feel this safe and loved. And the sparks. I had lost faith in sparks, in ever getting that sensation of but

CONNOR I drove straight to the airport after meeting with Grace and was able to secure a first class ticket to Wales, where my family home was based.Usually, it was my secretary’s duty to take care of issues like these but this travel wasn’t the usual business travel, it was my person business, so I decided to handle it myself. I didn’t call Marcus as he informed me he would be unavailable for the rest of the day. The plane took off at mid-day and hopefully, I should be getting back to London before midnight. I could never sleep anywhere that isn’t my room in my home here in central London. Although I once lived in Wales with my family when I was younger but I left home in my early teen years for an expensive Boarding schools only rich kids could attend. I didn’t want to go, in fact I begged my parents profusely not to allow me go, but my father was a dictator, so I had no choice but to leave home at such a

I wanted to hit my head on the glass table so bad, but I groaned instead, rubbing my face harshly with my palms.“I cannot do that mother,” I argued, knowing that none of the options were going to be favorable for me. “Then we do not have a deal.” she clapped twice as the maids rushed in with bowls and plates of different foods. “Be careful, Son, I might be miles away from you, doesn’t change much. Eat.” she said with a tone that indicated she was done with the conversation and passed me a plate of pasta. Even if I was hungry on my way here, (which I wasn’t) the banter I just had with my mother was enough to ruin my appetite. “How’s Courtney?” I asked about my little sister. It was actually rude of me to not have asked about her since I came. “She’s been headstrong as usual,” she wiped her mouth courteously with a sparkling white napkin. “But I h

GRACE.I went to work the next day after dropping Laurel off with NK. Life goes on and I can’t be left behind, after all, this wasn’t the worse experience I have had with Connor. I tried to cheer up for my baby’s sake, I couldn’t let her see how crushed on the inside I was feeling, but all in all, it was a relief I didn’t tell her Connor was her father as I had intended the day before.No more thinking, Grace, I scolded myself as I walked into our small crowded office. Everyone was asking how I was faring, how my health was, if I was feeling better now, except of course, Michelle. However, I ignored her and slid into my cubicle to begin the job assigned to me for the night. But before I was able to turn on my computer, one of our youngest workers, Peter knocked on the glass of my cubicle. “Director Lance says the both of you would be going for stake out tonight in the next ten minutes and you should get r

FEW MINUTES LATER. “We’ll start off with a glass of champagne each,” Director Lance said handing the menu to a standing man in tight waiter uniform. I couldn’t believe I was actually sitting opposite him, about to start drinking. I have never been an alcohol person or one who believes alcohol makes things better but lord knows I need a glass or two today.The event we initially came all the way to Mayfair for would have started, but guess what? He had figured it out beforehand. He called a day worker who ‘owed him a favor’, according to him to assist Chris in covering the event.More shocking truth: He didn’t come out here because of any ‘dumb award ceremony’ but to cheer me up because I looked like I needed comfort. Also, he had pulled it off this way because he knows I’ll never agree to go out on a date with him even if he asked naturally. Director Lance had no idea what my issues were exactly, but he was able to give the right diagnosis. I’ll

CONNORI couldn’t hold the words back. Jealously, rage erupted from me as I entered the bar following the tracker only to see Grace sitting with another male. How dare this man sit close to my woman? And even had the effrontery to call himself her potential boyfriend. It took every self-control in me not to punch him in the face. She wouldn’t be going back to that work tomorrow. Not while I’m still breathing. If she had opened her door last night when I knocked and knocked, if she had answered her phone at least once, then both of us wouldn’t have to be in that situation. I would have told her everything while we look for ways to solve the problem together.But she actually believed I left her to get engage with someone else, why would I ever do that? She had no idea how much she and our child meant to me.I knew I was going to regret saying I was the father of her child that way in publ

GRACE.My eyes fluttered open but closed again unable to accommodate the blinding morning light streaming into the room from above. My head pounded in my skull drawing a groan from me. I tried opening my eyes again this time around but not as wide as the first time before realizing my room never had this much sunlight in the morning. Then the memories of the night before came crashing in on me like confetti. Noooooooooo! I screamed in my head. Shit. Shit. Please be a dream or nightmare, please, please, I begged the embarrassing images in my head.It came in puzzles at first, but as I looked around my environment, I realized, the memories weren’t a dream. They were real, and I was really lying on Connor’s bed, in his room. But he wasn’t here, and I wonder how long I have been out.I was going to take just a glass of drink with Director Lance, but the frustration pushed me to
