The clattering of glasses and voices was heard as they all settled at a table. “It’s such a beautiful night,” Usman remarked as he took a sip from his glass of wine. Alex smiled as she looked around the whole place which was filled with so much Glamour. She took a glance at Adrian and she could see him typing a few words on his phone. A frown appeared on her face as she saw Susan taking her seat at the middle of the table. Their eyes met and she could see the smirk on Susan’s mocking face. She wondered who this lady was and why she had taken interest in her. Not long, a fair slender lady in white dress walked towards the table with a young handsome man dressed in a royal blue suit and bowtie. “Look who we have here,” the girl said with a smile as she walked towards Adrian who was still busy with his phone. He raised his eyes to look at her face. “Adrian,” she called with a smile but he didn’t smile back. “Hey Sharon, what took you guys so long?” Susan asked as she stood up

They walked into the house slowly and they could see the maids lined up in the living room as they stared at Alex’s face anxiously. “Take her upstairs and prepare a warm bath for her,” he ordered and they all nodded immediately. They took hold of her hands and she followed them up the stairs slowly. He heaved a sigh and sat on the couch as he watched them leave. Just then, his phone rang and he saw his father on the caller ID. “Son, what’s this I'm seeing all over the internet? Alex fell into a pool?” Mateo’s anxious voice sounded from the phone. “Yeah, I don't know how she got in there,” he said grumpily. “I’m glad you came through for her. I was proud to see you become her hero tonight. It seems you are about to reveal the other side of you to her,'' he said. Silence fell in and he heaved a sigh. “Father, I’m tired and I need to go to bed,” he lamented. “No, you’re gonna stay beside Alex for tonight. She needs you beside her,” he said. “What! Saving her isn’t enough, you

She couldn’t resist the pressure as she felt his lips on hers. The moment became tense as their lips locked fiercely and he pulled her closer to himself. She tightened her arms around his neck as she felt his arms caressing her back roughly. He broke free and they both began to pant heavily with their breaths fanning against their lips. He plunged his lips into hers again, this time, in a slow romantic manner that made her body twitch all over. She could feel his hand moving from her back to her shoulder. He slid the strap of her dress off her shoulder and his arms caressed her smooth succulent skin. He made her lie slowly on the chair with their lips still locked together. Just then, the lights came on followed by footsteps and they both pulled away from each other immediately. “Oh, sorry sir, I just wanted to check if the lights have been fixed,” the man standing in front of them said nervously as he tried to walk away. “Um..yes..it’s been fixed,” he said awkwardly as he sat up

The car parked carefully in the yard and they both stepped out while laughing over a few things. She looked around the yard and smiled as she recalled the last time she was here. That was the day she had caught Femi and Asa making out and it kind of brought back bad memories to her. She was glad to have forgave them as it had helped her move on so easily. “Where is your grandma?” She asked as she looked at the usual spot the old lady used to sit under the tree. “Oh, I guess she has gone to the farm,” he replied as they walked to the porch. They walked into the house and she looked around the unfurnished living room which had stayed the same since she left. “I guess she’s in the room,” he said and she nodded as she followed him over to the passage. As the door of the room creaked open, she could see Asa lying sideways on the bed with her baby bump which had become visible. She had grown so fat and her skin was so dark that she was hardly recognizable. “Asa, is that you?” She ask

He stepped out of the elevator and hastened his steps as he walked over to the penthouse where he could see his father, sitting on the white lounge chair, making a phone call. He stood for a moment and waited for the call to end before walking over to meet him. The men at the penthouse made a slight bow as he walked over them to meet his father, who was sitting comfortably, donned in a white agbada. “You look troubled, what brings you here?” Mateo asked as he looked at his son whose black dress was soaked with perspiration as he stood in front of him. He heaved a sigh and looked away from him as he thought of how to place the words. “Adrian, what's going on?” Mateo asked anxiously. “Alex is missing,” he spilled with his back facing him. Silence fell in and Mateo stood up slowly with the aid of his walking stick. “What are you saying? Did I hear you clearly?” He asked with a chuckle as he shook his head in disbelief. He heaved a sigh again and turned to face him. “I went to he
