Evan had been locked up with meetings all week and could not take that stroll up to the twenty-fifth floor for observation. But the minute time was on his side; he took the elevator up from his office and to his brother’s bed. When he entered, all the girls in the office halted whatever they were doing and stared as he entered the glass doors. Is this workplace, or is this Devon's harem of women? Evan said, looking around, intrigued. He’s soaking up the scene like a dry sponge. Evans's eyes continually scan the room, watching hands and body language. He walked into the room full of cubicles. It was like he had walked into a candy store, taking it all in with an eagle eye, filing it away in his expansive memory. He strolled past the cubicles looking at each girl's smiling face. Two rows over, he saw Zari; she couldn’t be missed; she stood out like a red rose among daisies! Her velvety smooth brown complexion, long black hair, and the darkest brown eyes he's ever seen. ‘Wow! My br

I pulled into the driveway and parked at the side door entrance leading directly to the kitchen. I came into the house, which was dark, calling out. "Zari! Are you here?" I was waiting for an answer to my call. But instead, I got nothing but silence. I dropped my keys on the counter and walked out of the kitchen. I suddenly stop as my mind begins to wander. “Where is my wife?” I think to myself. 'Who in the world could she be with? I paused and reasoned. I had to think for a minute. “Zari doesn’t know anyone at the office. So where could she be this time of night? It was after 9 pm, and she left work at 5 pm. I’ll call her mother and sister and see if she’s visiting them.” When I hung up the phone, I was apprehensive. Then it dawned on me the only person she remembers is Mike. Immediately I called him. “Hey, Mike! I know you have Zari out with you! Don’t you think you should have discussed that with me? I’m her husband, you know!” “Devon? Man, chill out! Zari is not with me!

Zari tried to heed Devon’s advice so she kept her distance from Evan. But he would call and check on her faithfully to see how she was doing or if she just needed someone to talk to. The phone calls came Once a week,Evan Hightower had become a companion of comfort and a much-needed friend to Zari, who felt vulnerable and often broken emotionally. They made arrangements to go to a restaurant near work so she could be home by six long before Devon would get home. Zari found herself sitting across from Evan, admiringly studying things about him. Apart from the fact that he looked like Devon. Their resemblances are not as shocking anymore to her. On the contrary, they had become a comfort to her it felt like she was spending time getting to know Devon through Evan. Especially since her husband spent more time at work than at home. Her eyes moved lower— to Evan's nice broad shoulders. The physical attraction is there for sure. How could it not be when Zari's brother-in-law looks so muc

“Good evening, Father and Mother,” Devon says. “Good evening, Mr. and Mrs. Hightower. You have a lovely home; thanks for inviting me for dinner.” Zari says, smiling. His father noticed right away that Devon and Zari were holding hands. He didn't say anything, but his eyes slid over to Evan. Who nodded to his father to be excellent. His father quietly sighed, taking in a deep breath. "Have a seat, and welcome to my home." "Thank you kindly, sir," Zari replies as she and Devon sit, with Evan and Cherry sitting closest to the father. "So son..." his father sarcastically laughs aloud, looking over at Evan, who chuckled. "I heard we have been making many changes at the main office. Hiring new people, and the twenty-fifth floor is filled with only beautiful women. But I'm not surprised. Tell me, son, are you trying to ruin the family business?" Zari immediately looks over with a concerned expression on her face at Devon. Just when Devon was about to respond to his father's question

Zari stepped onto the runner and began to stroll. Then, the band started to play this wonderful music; the audience stood as Zari and her father proceeded down the aisle. It touched her heart when she saw Devon standing there waiting with tears in his eyes. She smiled as tears began to weld in her eyes. Zari could not believe this was happening and all they had been through. She had always dreamed of a day like this, and now it has come through. As she continued walking, it seemed like she was floating on air. It felt like a dream to see this day come when everyone she loved was together. She could not believe this particular day was all hers. The words so moved Zari's heart to that song. But, still, most of all, to see Devon standing there so handsome, smiling genuinely at her and with such gratitude in his heart toward her, Zari could not have asked for a more memorable and wonderful wedding gift. When Devon came and stood next to her after the song, the minister did his introduc
