Eddie woke up to the soft light of dawn filtering through the curtains of the luxurious bedroom. He rubbed his eyes and glanced at the clock on the bedside table. Panic surged through him when he saw the time. He was already late for work. Jumping out of bed, he hurriedly dressed, trying to be as quiet as possible to avoid waking Lorraine.But it was too late. Lorraine stirred, her eyes fluttering open as she looked up at him with a sleepy smile. "Good morning, Eddie," she purred, stretching languidly on the bed."Good morning, Lorraine," Eddie replied, his voice tense. "I really need to go. I'm late for work, and I'm worried about what will happen if your husband finds out."Lorraine laughed softly and sat up, her silk nightgown slipping off one shoulder. "Relax, Eddie. I already told Will that I was going to my family's house for a few days. He's completely clueless."Eddie's heart pounded in his chest. Despite Lorraine's reassurances, the thought of her husband discovering their ill

   But while Eddie got in, Julia arrived at the company as well. As he stepped into the lobby, he saw the boys, the adorable twins he kept thinking about and falling asleep over.    "Hi, uncle Julia is here!" Julia announced his arrival and the boys stood up and rushed over to him with their sturdy feet.    He squatted and hugged the both of them at the same Frede. He planted a featherlight kiss on their chubby chin before holding their hands and leading them to his office.    The secretary assigned to look after the boys smiled and said nothing when Clara took the boys to his office.    ``Listen President Li, the boy's mother is my friend. I have been dribbling her and couldn't tell her where her Sons are.   I have to leave with them, so that they can start going to school. It's getting late for school already" Josh pleaded.    " I quite understand you doctor Josh. But w

"Is Jennifer your friend that you've been talking about?"Clara asked and Josh said yes.  Jennifer turned out to be Eddie's one night lover. His brother had never been the same after that night with her.  He had worried himself sick, trying to locate and find her. He had to involve his parents who talked with him and persuade him to let go.   If they were destined to meet again they would surely meet. But if otherwise, he shouldn't hurt himself because of a woman somewhere who might have nursed her wounds and go ahead with her life.   "Jennifer went through hell after that night with you Eddie. When she realized she was pregnant, it was like the earth should suddenly have a crack so she can hide there forever.."Josh said.   Eddie was quiet. He knew he hurt her especially when he forced himself into her and discovered she was a pure woman. He wanted to be responsible for her but never found her again.

   "Please Jennifer. Let's talk amicably. My brother is not that kind of a person. There's definitely a mix up somewhere that made the both of you fall vicFred"Clara was sermonizing her.   "I will sue you and get restraining orders against you"Agatha threatened. Josh held her tight and started talking in a very low tone to her. Only she heard what Josh was saying.   She was momentarily calm. And Josh let her go. Turning to Eddie "Now, where are my kids?" she asked.  She stared at Eddie and the latter's face was like freezing her. His eyes were emanating a compressed aura and have really turned red.  "I won't say anything to you here because I still have a bit of respect for you for the kids sake. Somethings are better kept as secret between two people   But know that it wasn't only you who suffered loss that night. I expect to meet a proper woman but I don't know what to classify you as.Read more

Emily's eyes welled up. Has it gotten to an instance that he compares her presence with a pestering flea? She gently went over and sat down on the seat in front of Eddie's desk.   She sniffled and took out a wet tissue to wipe her tears away. "Can't you spare Frede to be with me? Are you so busy that you no longer have Frede to eat? I want us to get to know each other better and our temperament.."    But Eddie had longed to return to work on his computer. He's entire attention was on the computer and didn't seem to hear what Yolando said.   But he heard. He only pretended not to hear. He took his phone and sent a message to his assistant. He would get a takeout and eat it right before Yolanda without as much as inviting her to join him.    Yolanda sat down and watched him working. What kind of a man is Eddie? She'd seen other men pamper their girlfriends and fiancee so lovingly and romantically that sh

  Eddie stood up, he didn't mind that Emily was seated with teary eyes. He picked his car key and called the informant "keep an eye on her.   I am on my way already and you should know which direction she's taking,"Eddie declared. He walked towards the door, before turning back to Emily and said "You may remain trapped here for hours if I step out of this office leaving you behind"  He would lock the office and only his fingerprints can unlock it. He didn't know why she remained seated after he finished taking his lunch.   Yolanda stood up and walked out of the door, taking the same elevator with Eddie, she passed him a side glance and the latter remained expressionless.  As soon as the elevator opened, Eddie stepped out of the elevator he was walking towards his car. His bodyguards were following and got into the car as soon as he did.  The informant called again and said Jennifer had driven off from he

Rosa also said they didn't mean to be mean to her or let her kids be taken away from her.   But from the Frede they stepped into Agatha's apartment, they didn't see the boys nor did they hear their voices. Rosa looked around before asking "Where's Fred and Lee?"    Jennifer sighed. She bit her lower lip trying to prevent her tears from running down her cheeks.   "Eddie took them away," Jennifer said. She leaned her head on the sofa and looked lost.   Josh and Rosa exchange glances. "What do you mean Eddie took them away? Didn't he say you should have them for 24hours?" Josh asked.   "He took them away from me. How can he just take my kids away like that?"Jennifer said, feeling really offended.  "What did you do?" Josh asked.Josh wants to know what happened. Eddie said it before a few of them in his office that she can have the kids for 24 hours. He can't suddenly go ba

   He looked from one to the other. He doesn't know who Fred is and who Lee is between them. They are identical.  "I am fine", " I am fine" the boys answered uniformly. That was when the grandparents knew their names were Fred and Lee.   "Eehhm. Who's Fred and who's Lee?" Julia asked.Looking from one to the other? "I am Fred" Fred answered from his left. "I am Lee" Lee answered the from his right.   "Ok, Fred here and Lee here" Julia confirms. He looked at them and still knew he would soon get confused again. Once they stood up and they were not in his right and left position, he would mix it up again.   "How can I differentiate you out there?" Julia asked. He didn't spare anyone a glance, not even Eddie who was watching and listening to Julia calmly.   "Only our mummy knows. Maybe you ask her" Lee answered. No one can differentiate between them except their mummy and they don't know how s

  Her eyes became teary. She looked out of the window, not wanting Julia to see her tears again. She only wants to see her boys.   " I have lived with them for over three years now and practically got addicted to them. But your brother just took them away leaving me to live solo" Agatha explained.   Julia saw her sniffling and listened to her. He felt she was not feeling happy. Her present mood was different from the vibrant one she used to have before this whole issue came up.   "I understand how you feel Agatha. But you went the extreme yesterday when you slapped him. Eddie has never been slapped by anyone in his life.  You need to apologise to him first and when you feel he has forgiven you, then talk to him about the kids and hear what he feels" Clara advised.   "I will not apologise to him. Do you know what the effect of what he did to me four years ago cost me?" Agatha blurted out.Read more
