As Ayana and her daughter savored the meal they had prepared together, the pleasant atmosphere was suddenly interrupted by the ringing of Ayana's phone. Surprised, she glanced at the screen and saw a new, unfamiliar number flashing across it."Hello? Who is this?" she answered tentatively, trying to mask her surprise."Hey! Is my voice alone enough, or do I still need to introduce myself?" Adam's smooth voice greeted her from the other end of the line. "I hope I'm not interrupting anything."Ayana's brows furrowed in confusion. Then her stomach churned, perhaps rejecting what she was eating. "Adam?” She called in bemusement.“The one and only,” he responded.She cleared her throat, fixing her voice and some nothingness in her camisole. A teenager would have conducted herself better than she did at that moment. I mean, she was becoming restless over a mere phone call. someone who could not see her at the moment. “How did you get my number?” She asked, and from wherever she had gotten i

As the morning sun gently filtered through the curtains, Ayana went about her usual routine, preparing breakfast and helping Lyana get ready for school. It was just like any other day, and she had not anticipated Adam's arrival so early in the morning. She hadn't received any messages from him confirming their plans for the day, so she assumed he might have been caught up with other commitments.As Ayana was setting the table for breakfast, she heard a soft knock at the door, and she couldn't help but feel a jolt of surprise. It was earlier than she had expected, and for a moment, she hesitated, wondering who could be visiting at such an hour.Upon opening the door, Ayana was greeted by the sight of Adam standing there, a warm smile on his face as he held out his hand in greeting."Good morning, Ayana," he said, his voice carrying a hint of excitement. "I hope I'm not catching you at a bad time."Ayana couldn't help but feel a mix of astonishment and delight at the unexpected visit. S

Adam chuckled softly at Ayana's remark, the sound echoing gently through the spacious room. "Well, I suppose 'humble' might not be the most accurate description," he admitted with a wry smile. "But it's home."Ayana couldn't help but smile at his response, feeling a sense of warmth and comfort settle over her as she gazed around the room. Despite the opulence that surrounded them, there was an air of coziness and familiarity that made Adam's house feel welcoming and inviting."It's beautiful," she said softly, her voice filled with genuine admiration. "You have created such a wonderful space for yourself. What am I even saying? Wonderful is such an understatement. It is breathtakingly beautiful."“That is so rich coming from a De’Mario, and before you kill me,” he added when Ayana shot her eyes at him, “I mean no harm. I mean, I am surprised that you are awed by this. You people were known as one of the owners of the city.” He remarked.“Yeah, I get it. But all that glory is slowly fa

“So, what can I offer you here? Are you hungry? I am a good cook only for my stomach, but I can compromise for the most extraordinary woman in the world,” Adam said as they pulled away from an embrace that had lasted for hours. The warmth had held them still, the fire radiating from their souls serving as a beacon to bask in.“Really? You will cook?” Ayana asked.“You want to try me?” Adam asked.Ayana chuckled, her eyes twinkling with amusement. "Well, I suppose I can't resist the offer of a meal cooked by the most extraordinary man in the world," she replied playfully.Adam grinned, a mischievous glint in his eyes. "You won't regret it, I promise," he said confidently, his tone brimming with self-assurance.As they made their way to the kitchen, Ayana couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement bubbling within her. She had always enjoyed cooking, and the prospect of sharing a meal with Adam filled her with anticipation."So, what's on the menu?" She asked, peering over Adam's shoul

As they spent more time together, Ayana couldn't help but notice the whispers and sidelong glances that followed Adam wherever they went. His reputation as a ladies' man preceded him, with rumors swirling about his countless conquests and magnetic charm. But despite the warnings from her friends and the doubts that nag at the back of her mind, Ayana sensed a kindness and sincerity beneath Adam's rough exterior that drew her to him like a moth to a flame.She had seen the way he interacted with others and the genuine concern and compassion he showed towards those less fortunate than himself. He had a way of putting people at ease and making them feel seen and understood in a way that few others could. And though he often brushed off compliments and praise with a self-deprecating smile, Ayana could see the depth of his character shining through in every gesture and word.As they walked hand in hand through the bustling city streets, Ayana couldn't help but feel a sense of pride swell wi
