James arrived at the Turbo Caramel Company in a cab. His sense of dressing qualified his aura. As he entered the building, Harper was the first person he saw. She was heading towards his direction, counting one foot in front of the other. James stood still, admiring the building and pretending not to have noticed her. When she was close enough, she stopped beside him. His dress code and glasses wouldn't let her identify him, but something seemed familiar.“Who're you, and what are you doing standing here? Don't you have a job or something?” She asked, and James shifted his gaze over to her. He scoffed and sighed deeply.He took off his glasses, exposing his face with a slight smile of satisfaction on his lips.“Hey, I'm just here to check how things are going in my company," he said, and Harper scoffed." James? You bastard!" She exclaimed in surprise."You've got balls. You think you can walk in here to see Emily whenever you want huh?” she shouted at him, drawing attention toward

The early morning sun radiated through the curtains, gracing the beautiful luxury room with a superficial ambiance. Emily rose from the bed, darting her eyes around. She groaned and stretched tiredly. It was a new day, and part of her problems were solved. Two days ago, James had stopped her from leaving town. He prepared a luxury apartment in the city for her, an apartment far better than her old one. His actions sparked curiosity in her, and she began to question his status, but James had lied about having a rich friend who had always been supportive. He couldn't open up on his identity just yet. There were still some things he needed to catch up to. Following their newly found relationship, James found out a lot about Emily's background. At a very young age, Emily was already the breadwinner of her family. Her father was late and her mother battling with cancer. Her little brother was in school, and everything bestowed on her shoulders. James was surprised as to how she cou

The following morning, Emily woke up on the bed looking haggard. Her eyes were reddish and misted with unshed tears and her whole body was heating up with fever. After James dropped her off last night, she cried herself to sleep, knowing that she had lost her job.It was past 8 a.m. when she glanced at the clock with zero worries about work. There was no point rushing to get to the company after yesterday's event. She picked up her cell phone lying on the bed, and on the screen was an email from the company. It was a dismissal notice. She slid through, without bothering to check it out.“Fuck you, Harper!" She yelled out, expressing her deep pain. Her brows were furrowed deeply, casting a shadow over her anxious eyes that darted around the room as if searching for a way out. Her lips were pressed into a thin line, and she occasionally bit her lower lip in a subconscious gesture of distress. The corners of her eyes were creased with lines of concern, and her gaze was distant, lost i

The following evening, James arrived at Emily's apartment at exactly 6:30 pm. They boarded an Uber, and Emily still had zero clue of where they were headed. After a few minutes drive, they drove into Hotel Duncan-Melo, a luxury hotel and one of the most prestigious in the country. As they alighted from the car, Emily froze, her gaze filled with joy and shock as she stared at the beautifully decorated building and luxury cars in the parking space. It was her first time in such a place. She darted her eyes around, and her reaction to the environment gave her away, and anybody would know that it was her first time.James stood by the side, watching her in admiration as she graced the atmosphere with absolute beauty.She stood with poise, her curvy figure elegantly accentuated by her flowing red gown that hugged her magnificent curves. Her skin had a natural, radiant glow, hinting at both vitality and softness. Dark, cascading hair framed her face, highlighting her captivating blue ey

Seeing Harper retreating with fear, the young man by her side stepped forward to protect her. He cast a glare at James and puffed his smoke into James's face directly. It was Henry, Harper's first love. “Who the fuck are you?” He asked, but James ignored his question. He couldn't take his gaze away from Harper."Hold on, you look familiar. Are you not James, Harper's Ex-husband? Oh shit! You're him!” he exclaimed and burst into laughter. “What's up? I'm Henry, Harper's present lover. We're getting married soon, you heard didn't you?" Henry teased, but James didn't feel disturbed by his rants. Instead, he decided to forget it all and walk away, but as he turned to leave, Henry pulled him back, getting in his path.“Woo woo woo! Chillax bro. Where do you think you're going? I ain't done with you yet. You know I could ask you to pay for damaging my wife's phone, but I'll only be wasting my time because you can't afford it,” he said, and there was mocking laughter from the crowd behind

The next day, James was preparing to leave the hotel room where he had spent the previous night.Just like he promised Rosalind, he was about to return home. It was past 7 p.m. and he had phoned Rosalind earlier ahead of his arrival.As he packed up to leave the room, a call came in. It was a strange number, but his first thought was Emily. He had expected her call earlier and later gave up after a fruitless wait.He quickly picked up the call, and as expected, Emily's melodic voice came from the phone. “Hi, James." “Hey! How're you, Emily? I've been thinking that I should've gotten your contact so I could check on you,” James said and she chuckled."Thanks for your care yesterday. It meant a lot to me, honestly speaking.” James blushed, his face lit up with a joy that radiated from within, making the room feel warmer just by his presence. “Actually, I called to ask if you're free tonight. I'd like us to go to dinner together, you know. At least let me show my appreciation for your

“Grin!!” A disturbing alarm rang for the umpteenth time, and this time, Lex woke up with a frown on his face. He groaned and sighed heavily.He checked the time, it was past 7 a.m. but he was still feeling sleepy. He lay still, staring at the ceiling in silence. After a few minutes, he stood up and did a few push-ups for his morning routine before dashing to the bathroom for a hot bath.When he arrived at the penthouse in search of Espinoza Lucas, he saw him by the dining table having his breakfast all alone. Lex sighed deeply and pushed the door open. On seeing Lex approaching, Espinoza Lucas hardened his expression, his gaze fixated on his food ignoring Lex.“Good morning sir,” Lex greeted politely, and he gulped down a glass of water. “You've made your decision, yes?” He asked, still focused on his food.“I'll take your first word as your answer, so I suggest you think carefully before speaking,” he urged, and Lex rolled his eyes. “I've thought it through, and I accept your con

Later that night, Lex sat in his room. The silence in the room was a deafening roar as he thought of Espinoza’s request. A picture of Adriana was hanging on the wall, she was a magnificent beauty, and he felt something for her truly.However, he had convinced himself that all he felt was lust for her beauty and not love for who she was. After a deep thought, he decided to go to Adriana's clubhouse in the city. A servant had given him the address earlier.When he arrived at the club, it was almost 10 p.m. he was not used to clubbing, so he sat by the bar and ordered a drink. Before the drink could be served, a loud cry from a feminine voice behind caught his attention.He turned around and saw two men stripping a woman naked. The men were drunk. He darted his eyes around but there was no security nearby. He had to take it upon himself to go to her rescue because he would never condone such behavior. He approached the men, and with two punches, they both fell on the ground unable to

In the dining room, the table was filled with delicious foods and fruits. The excellent aroma traveled across the room, as the old man dived into the meal with Lex.Lex couldn't focus on the food. The urge to ask for the man's identity came calling at him, but he tried to ignore it. The door opened, announcing the presence of someone else.When Lex raised his face, his gaze met with a pretty damsel walking towards them. She was wearing a bum short, and a cotton-made sweater. His jaw dropped as he stared at her in admiration. Their gaze met, and she furrowed her brow.“Hi, Dad," she greeted as she approached, and the old man welcomed her with a joyous smile. As he turned to Lex for an introduction, Lex had his eyes fixated on the lady. The old man let out a low smile.“Lex,” he called. “This is Adriana, my daughter, the one I was telling you about. She means everything to me. I'd like you two to get to know each other," the man stated. He turned to the lady in return, “This is Lex.

Early on a Monday morning, the street was buzzing with people going about their daily lives. Standing next to a city bell was a young man in a pair of blue jeans and white sleeves. It was Lex, it had been two years since he left for the monastery, and Stella had accepted her fate with Adriana.A lot had happened in two years; Stella slept with powerful men to fetch good money which wasn't hers. Adriana occasionally uses her as an assassin to poison and eliminate enemies that rise against her. Stella was living in a world she never imagined, and countless times, she had thought of committing suicide, but as Lex always told her, “Hope is a strong word and a powerful tool to overcome our biggest fears."Those words kept her going, as she kept hoping that one day she would be saved. Lex looked around in admiration like he had been away forever. There was no one for him in the city. The thought of going for Stella crossed his mind, but he quickly rubbished the idea.It would be a crime

“Hello," the lady greeted and entered the house. Stella retreated till she collided with the wall. Her breathing quickened, shallow gasps of air escaping her trembling lips.The intruder was Adriana Lucas, a Cartel gangster in Chicago, and the two men with guns were her guards.After staring at the house design in admiration, she nodded her head and walked over to Stella who was glued to the wall.Her cold, unblinking eyes bore into Stella's, turning her blood to ice. Their faces were so close that she could feel Stella's hard breath all over her face. “Such a beauty," she said and caressed Stella's upper chest seductively, making her moan silently. All of a sudden, she pulled back, and her seductive gaze suddenly went cold, her eyes switched mode and she glared at Stella. “Where is he? Where is Paul Asher?" She asked.Just in time, Paul came running out of the kitchen. He had been making Coffee for himself the whole time. On hearing his name, he rushed out with a cup of coffee. H

~Two months later~Stella's marriage to Paul was done and dusted. She was happily married, yet her divorce from Lex was still incomplete. She lay on the bed wearing a long red gown that exposed her curves.A few minutes ago, she had visited the nursing home for the first time since she married Paul. She had returned a necklace, her very first gift from Lex. It was handed over to Lex by his father, and it was all he had of his mother. Thinking about Lex's situation, Stella sighed deeply. A part of her felt happy for listening to Amelia. Paul has been a good husband to her ever since, and Lex on the other hand has not improved in his recovery. Her gaze fixated on the ceiling as she counted every little spot or object she could see in the air or ceiling.“Goodbye Lex," she mumbled, her voice like a heartfelt apology. Her eyes were filled with tears but she held them back. It was time to let go of her love for Lex and focus on building a new family with Paul.She sighed and stood
