All the guests, friends, and colleagues waited patiently for Layla’s reaction.The well-decorated hall with all the food, drinks, and even music did not seem to make any sense or even look attractive to Layla anymore.She looked as if she was in a daze, the silence was interrupted by a roar of laughter.Layla felt as if she had just heard the dumbest thing and she couldn’t even stop laughing. The sweet sound of her laughter was hitting Damian like a hammer in the chest.He couldn’t guess what she was thinking at the moment.Layla looked Justin in the eyes and asked mockingly,“And what makes you think that I, Layla Wilson, will ever believe anything that comes out of your malicious mouth, Justin Smith?”Justin was stunned and his face dulled. Layla looked more confident and brave each time he saw her, sadly, she is and will never be his, and even though he forced himself to accept the painful truth, he still wanted to have her.Damian was saddened with the understanding that was sinki

“ What did Justin do?” Layla asked.Damian was fighting hard to control his tears but he couldn't, he broke down like a baby in Layla’s arms and Layla comforted him.“ It's fine if you don't want to talk about it,” she said and wiped away the tears that were escaping his eyes.“ No. It's fine, I've already started so l have to end the story.” Damian said and wiped his face quickly, he was not ready to take any chance. What if he stopped the whole story and Layla still decides to leave him, he will be devastated for sure.“ Like I said,” he continued.“While I was busy trying to rekindle our love with Ava, Justin did an unspeakable thing. He went for my sister, Kendra.”At this point, Damian was bitter, and thank God Justin was not present there, otherwise, it would be another story.“ And what did he do to Kendra?” Layla asked, anxiously.“ Justin started dating Kendra, and the both of them were all lovey-dovey. Kelvin saw this and tried to warn me about it but I paid less attention

“ Well…….” Layla started but stopped suddenly.Damian's heart was racing so fast that someone ten steps away could hear it beating tremendously. He could hear his instincts cautioning him clearly to prepare his mind for the worst, from the way Layla was staring at him, he knew she was deeply hurt and it would take a whole lot of luck for her not to take a drastic decision that would hurt him.Layla was still awkwardly staring at him and since he could not couple up the uneasy feeling he was getting by her looks, he decided to break the silence.“ You can go ahead and punish me, I will accept anything at all, as long as it guarantees me your forgiveness,” Damian said in a pitiful tone. His current state looked sorry yet funny.However, Layla had a lot going through her mind. She couldn't place her finger on what exactly she was feeling, is it the thought that she was lied to, or betrayed, or that her marriage was built on pretense? She paced to and fro in their luxurious bedroom, ma

It was a warm and cozy evening. Kelvin was finding it difficult to understand the mess he had gotten himself into unknowingly. The most surprising part is the fact that he doesn't remember getting involved in anything that concerns Ava, so why the fuck is she after his life.His mind was clouded with so many thoughts, one amongst them was informing Damian about what was going on. But, what if things go south? It's best he keeps to Ava’s rule and gets to hear what it is she has to settle with him that warrants her threatening the peace and well-being of his loved ones. All dressed in a causal dark blue jean trouser and a black shirt, a pair of black canvas, and a black face cap to compliment his dress, Kelvin headed to his garage and drove in one of his cars. He was headed for Grand View Suites, the scheduled place where he was to meet up with the devil incarnate. He glanced at the Rolex watch on his wrist countless times and drove at high speed as if he was late for a big busin

“ What’s wrong sugar, Dr Max did not tell me what?” Damian asked impatiently, different thoughts running through his mind. He could handle a lot now but definitely not negative news about his unborn child Indeed, Layla was good at keeping someone in suspense. “ I mean Dr. Max did not tell you that we are expecting twins, right?” she finally said, happiness all evident on her face. Damian could not express the feeling that overwhelmed him, he could not believe he was not only going to be a father of one but two. This is the best news he has ever received all his life. With teary eyes and short of words, he moved closer to Layla and hugged her tightly. “Thank you, sugar, indeed you are my biggest blessing, thank you for this special gift. I love you” He whispered to her ears. He was so overwhelmed with joy and all he wanted was to experience the warmth he usually felt whenever he was inside her, he wanted her so badly but didn’t how to go about it. He did not want to stress her
