Benjamin—-"I will be on my way now, I need to pick out clients up early in the morning tomorrow, so I can't stay up late." I lied before heading to the door and till I left she never made the motion to stop me.The next day I tried my very best to avoid her in anyway. After picking up the clients from the airport and taking them to their hotel suit, I returned to the office.As I walked through the company hallways, I consciously avoided Irene's desk, not wanting to face her yet. I couldn't shake the fear and uncertainty that had settled within me after our conversation yesterday. The thought of losing her, of hurting her, was too much to bear.But as I made my way towards my office, I couldn't help but glance towards Irene's desk one last time. And what I saw made my blood boil.Miguel stood there, leaning against her desk, whispering something in her ear. Irene appeared uncomfortable, her body language tense. My instincts flared, a surge of protectiveness washing over me.I quicken

Benjamin —-  How could this be possible? Should I ask her about this picture? I can't do that, I can't invade her privacy and still ask her about it. That won't be right. I dropped the photo back inside her wallet and walked away. But my mind wasn't at rest at the thoughts that they knew each other, that would explain why Irene always avoided Aurora in anyway possible.I sat on my desk going through some files with one of my workers at my front when I sighted Irene returning back to her seat. I tried my best to hold in urge to tell her name out loud and demand for an explanation but I won't do that, it is obvious that they are school mates and from how different Irene looked in the photo. "Mr Benjamin." The lady beside me called out to me, making me come back to my senses. I was actually writing rubbish on the piece of paper documents she gave to me. "Oh

Irene —-I still couldn't believe my eyes, Aurora had seen me and she looked even more surprised, the crowd continue to cheer my name while I tried my very best to hold on to the mic given to me by the host, Benjamin walked towards Aurora with a wide smile before planting a kiss on her cheeks and then hugging her tightly, could it be that he planned this? Was he aware of our relationship? Those were the questions that ran through my mind as I stared at both of them. Aurora waved at me with a devilish smirk, how much I hated that smirk of her's. She was back to taunt my life.Despite the tension and discomfort of seeing Aurora in the audience, I managed to compose myself and focus on giving my speech. I expressed my gratitude to the foreign guests for accepting my contract and acknowledged their support in making the event a success. However, all the while, I could feel Aurora's piercing gaze on me, her eyes filled with mockery and amusement.As I continued, I tried to ignore her pres

Benjamin—After my little question session with Miguel, I became more suspicious of everything.I can't believe none of this things came to my mind all this months, I knew that Sofia and I had the same striking blue eye which Miguel had found abnormal at first but now everything began to even make more sense to me.After taking Irene and Sofia back home I wasn't planning on going back home from there so I took a seat in the living room while Irene took Sofia to her room to sleep."You are still here?" She asked, clearly amused to see me in her sitting room waiting for her."We need to talk." I said to her tapping the empty space beside me with a wide smile on my face just to seem harmless to her.She stands still for a few minutes staring at me before taking a seat."You have a lot of explaining to do." I said to her softly.Irene sat beside me, her eyes fixed on the floor as if trying to gather the courage to reveal something she had kept hidden for so long. A mixture of anxiety and

AURORA —"That can't be possible, Irene don't know who impregnated her." Dad said standing up from his chair with firm look on his face."Well, whether he is the biological father or not he made her little bastard the heir." I said in frustration but my dad raised his hand up like he was about to warn me."Don't call Irene's child a bastard." He warned making me open my mouth in surprise as I scoffed loudly."Are you already supporting Irene just because he made the child you disowned before it was born his heir." I said the fact to my dad, so he could be aware of what he is about to do.I could feel the rage boiling inside me as my dad's words hung in the air. How could he even consider supporting Irene after all she had put us through? It felt like a betrayal, like he was choosing her over me once again."What about me, Dad? What about everything I've done and endured for this family? Am I just supposed to be tossed aside while Irene gets all of your support and love?" I shouted, my
