His face turned pale and he felt his jaws stiffened as he saw her sitting elegantly on the couch, dressed beautifully in a pink short dress with her beautiful round eyes staring at him in dismay.He felt Alex's presence in front of him and he turned to face her quickly."Um, have you guys met before?" He heard her ask as she looked at his face in surprise."Oh,..um, no," he responded quickly as he walked to his seat while Alex followed behind him with excitement.She became dumbfounded for a while and her heart began to race as she looked at the young man sitting on the couch opposite her. What is he doing here? How come he knows Alex? She thought as she raised her eyes to look at him and their eyes met again."Oh, I see, you've always got eyes for beautiful ladies; but you see this one, you can’t flirt with her. She is Mateo’s daughter and you know what that means,” Alex said to him as she sat on the couch with Natasha.No, no..this can't be real. How can she be Natasha Steel? How c

"Okay, he wants you to help him out, right?" Alex asked after she narrated her ordeal with him."Yes, he is just so rude, so selfish, always about himself!" She vented in frustration."Seems like you know him more than me, well, I wasn't the one who spent a couple of days in his house," she said with laughter."Alex, this is not funny! I'm trying to get over Kelvin and then that freak comes with his own shit?!" She asked angrily."Ok, be calm. You know I hate it when you're angry plus, you're not supposed to get angry," Alex said as she sat beside her and caressed her hair."Alex, I'm losing it again. I'm losing my sanity," she cried as she leaned on her shoulder."You'll be fine. I'll speak to Amos about it and he won't come near You any longer," she promised.She sniffed and raised her head from her shoulder."That's what you want, right?" Alex asked.She kept silent and looked away from her face.The next morning, she was awoken by the sound of the room door creaking. She opened he

Dressed casually in a white round-neck top and blue jeans, she stepped out of the house with Alex following behind her."Sammy, put this in the car," she said, handing her small black box to the young man in black suit who was standing close to the car."I can't believe you're leaving me all alone in this mansion. Adrian asked you to look after baby J and I and now, you're leaving me all because of a man," Alex grumbled with her face wearing a frown."Sweetie, it's just a two day trip. We'll be back soon, okay?" She said as she gave her a hug while smiling sheepishly."Take good care of my handsome nephew before I return," she said with a smile as she broke free from the hug."You better not stay more than the promised days," Alex warned and she laughed."I won't. Stay safe, babe," she said as she put on her round-shaped glasses.She bade Alex goodbye and Alex waved her back while forcing a smile on her grumpy face.She sighed on stepping into the car and she pushed back her ponytail h

The next morning, she was awoken by the sounds coming out from the backyard. She yawned tiredly and winced in pain as she felt pains all over her body. The bed was small and she had managed to help herself from falling during the night.She sat up on the bed as she looked around the room. Amos was nowhere to be found and she wondered where he was off to. It was morning already and she could see a ray of the beautiful sunrise which settled on the window. She stood up from the bed and tied the cloth firmly across her chest as she walked out of the room. She couldn't notice a presence around the house."Oops! Everyone must be in the kitchen," she exclaimed as she hurried out immediately.She knew she would get scolded by Mrs Eno for sleeping so late when she was supposed to be up early, assisting in the kitchen. African moms are like that; strict and intolerant, she thought as she walked out of the house."Oh, our Iyoba(Queen mother) has arrived," she heard Mrs Eno sing in appraisal as

He tried to speak but the words became stuck in his throat and he could see her eyes welling up with tears.He didn't know what to do or say at the moment and he felt guilty for bringing up the topic about her mother."Nat..we..we..can stop talking about this if you want to," he said with concern."It's fine, I want to talk about it. You know, my Ex doesn't even know about it. I'm not comfortable telling it to people and the only person who knows the truth aside from my family, is my best friend who betrayed me," she related as she sniffed and wiped the tears off her eyes."I want to know, how did it happen? What led to it all?" He asked curiously."My mom," she said, raising her head to look at him."She was the beginning of my problems. She was an avid cheater despite the fact that my dad was a loving husband to her. Adrian had a twin brother whom we lost due to my mom's negligence," she related."I..I never knew he had a twin," he said."Yes, we were so little then. My mom would br
