"First, I'll have to congratulate you on your win. You know, it's not easy to carry such burden at such age."

Ivan Rodriguez started, staring wierdly at me. I could see his large eyes leaving my pretty face to my cleavages. It can only be one thing he's thinking about. But I won't be too dismissive or judgmental. I'll wait, less I appear proud. 

"Someone must do it. But it's rather kind of you to be that sweet, Ivan."

He chuckled and put two of his left fingers to his brown but scanty beards. I have no idea what he was trying to pick. 

"As you said, someone has to. You know, Praise you. I'm sure several other men will admit that, even if not to your face."

I smiled and drank from the glass of wine. I looked at my golden wrist watch. I was conscious of time. 

"Why have you called me here, Ivan? You know, your father is quite the notable influencer of my firm. And for his sake have I stoppe

    At Work."You've got to put all those into consideration, and I forgot to tell you, there are some African CEO's who seemed to had taken interests in us. So, hasten your pace of work. I'll only be able to do little. And you know that I do trust you with this position."I said, towering over my manager. Jane. I appreciate her efficiency too. In a way, she's like me. She's coolheaded, pretty and could be tough."Ok, boss. You don't have to worry about me. I'll never disappoint you. You can go now, before you arrive at work tomorrow, I'll be done with the process."I nodded. I was standing by her office chair, next to the end of the oak table. I walked closer to her and leaned on her. I feel free around her. I spared a peck and turned to walk away."How about Albert? Is he coming through?"I stopped almost at the door. I've forgotten that she knows about my feelings towards the cold rogue. Well, I told her. You k

    Work."Drop."I snapped at the caller, battling with the heaps of files on my table. I needed to attend to all the files before me and approve as many contracts as I can. There are reviews and prospects to prepare. All depended on the growth and expansion of my company's status and influence. Yet, there are matters concerning the COLORFUL ENTREPRENEURS."Stop mentioning the names of the companies that are of no great consequence. I have more than enough to be busied with here."I paused, holding the stamp in my weary hand. The telephone was leaning off my shoulder blade, supported by my hurting cheek. Makeup ruined."There's a recent message from IVAR MULTIFLEX UNITS. They look to be in Partn--""Drop. Could you please hang the call if there are no message of importance. I'm more than busy here."I couldn't take it anymore. I could hear her stuttering over the phone. I hung the call.

    Las Vegas. "In this time of need, I'll advise that we rather have the factors capable of diminishing our stance than ignore them. We can't be sure what digital compromise we would have to revere in order to stand tall as the CEO'S of USA amongst several others who litter the vast world." The slender lady sat down. They call her Glen. She's sharp, bright but always jumpy. She always want to be the first to say a thing. The first time I laid my eyes on her then did I know I already have a pain in my ass. It's the third day after my arrival at Vegas. And this is the first conference of its kind. Though they've all been discussing for like several minutes now. If I've been conscious of the time, then I'd say that it's more than 30 minutes since the conference started. But really, it seemed more like a debate than a conference. Because I could count the number of times the group of CEO'S had argued and tossed aside their poin

    Kyle Watford. Colorado. "So, tell me about yourself, Caidine." She looked uneasy seating beside me on the couch and I can't explain the reason. It's rather strange to see a lady as beautiful as her acting as though she was snatched from the jaws of penury. I've been fascinated by her these whiles, and now is the time to know her better. Since my aunt isn't around. "I don't really have anything interesting about myself." I knew she was trying to defend herself as she couldn't even look up at me. "Why are you this scared? I offered you to join me. I ain't no cousins with the blood of lion or any other wild cat. Believe me, you're free to do whichever way you like. And come to think of it, Dia isn't around. She wouldn't be today, not tomorrow. Why feel so jumpy or should I say scared?" She sat up in the couch at that. Her legs on the floor and her hands tucked between her thighs as though she was catching c

    Dia Wealene. Las Vegas. "Dray, right?" I asked as soon as he caught up with me. He had been wanting to have a time with me all these while and today seemed to be his lucky day. We had just finished with the second meeting which definitely should be the last one. A week had passed and by the end of this new week, I should be returning to Colorado. "Quite thoughtful of you to keep my name at heart. Thought the great Dia might had forgotten it." I scoffed though didn't make it obvious. We had walked out of the building and were now standing at the front of the building. I could see my hot ice staring at me from distance. He was by the door as usual. Most times I kinda feel like Albert is under some spiritual influence. It's a wonder that he always knew when I was ready or coming out of a programme. Well, it might be his sixth sense. After all, he used to work for a drug-lord. "Who would forget

    Grand Canyon. Las Vegas. ~Dia Wealene~"Woah. At last, this is Grand Canyon."I screamed excitedly. For once, I forgot that I was a matured ass and was with Dray. Climbing up the steeps, I ran towards the railings set as borders across the edge of that hill. I put my hands on the iron bars and howled in gay. I could hear Dray chuckling behind me.We are at the Grand Canyon. A two-dimensional landscape whose 94 percent is a proposed Wilderness, preserved to serve such function.While we were marching towards the South Rim, according to the tour-guide, we'd seen cool fir forest, and gleamed the sight of other natural attributes: hot, dry forest, Riparian zones, and a million acres of wild landscape.We'd been also told that the landscape to the North rim is glazed with Black Brush and Cacti. And a roadless area, whose border was the Colorado waters which complimented the warm air and var

    Colorado."Turn the music down, Albert."I ordered as I dragged my bums closer to the edge of the limo couch which was quite close to the driver's seat. We've been driving now for few hours and in few more minutes we should get to my house.Albert didn't bother to look at me. He turned down the music as said, keeping his stern face at the front. We've lost Dray since we left the airport. Of course we'd booked different planes.The air-conditioner did it best, spraying its cold fangs all over the inn of the long car. I was used to the cold but it seemed as though something wasn't right. I have no idea yet. But for sure, I wasn't sick."Are we going to talk about what happened at Grand Canyon?"I shot finally, ignoring all the odds that had wounded up the moment. He neither made a sound nor looked through the rearview mirror like he used to."I'm sure you're everything but deaf Albert. You wil

    Few minutes later. ~Caidine Purplepie~"What if she comes down anytime from now?"I stared blankly at the tough and big guy that has been giving me the creeps ever since I started working here. I don't know why he had pulled me with himself to this dark corner of the house.Yes! It's fact that, it's an aisle which was at the end of the passage to which both of our rooms were locked. Our rooms almost opposite. But then, Dia has every reason to come down there anytime. After all, twas her house."I'll be responsible for anything that happens."He said firmly. A lot of thoughts were pacing my mind but I couldn't place any for sure. But what could he want from me?"But still --"He placed one of his firm arms on one of my shoulders and I almost collapsed. There was this wierd stuff about it. That wierd stuff which had always spared my instinct to steer clear of him. To steer

    Four months Later. Maldives.~Dia Wealene~"How many times have they kicked?"Caidine called at me, walking out of the hut to join the remaining three of us. We were seated at the edge of the long wooden elevated basement on which the hut had been built. The row of huts were built on the ocean.I had my head resting on Albert's shoulder and Ray seated next to me. Caidine got to us and handed each of us a hollow, long cup of tasty spicy juice. Ray let her sit next to me."Now you've made them seem jobless. I don't believe that all babies do is kick. They sure have some other tasks they catch up to."I teased. I knew I was being unreasonable but no matter how sour and crazy my joke seemed, Albert's laugh was always the loudest. And sometimes, I am forced to think that he laughs at how boring my jokes are.And he has been acting that way since he discovered that I was pregnant with his twins. Two g

    The Introduction

    Wealene's multimillionaire house. Yorkshire.~Albert~"Let no one say a thing, I got this covered."Dia promised as Ray, Caidine, and Ray jr in between them walked towards us after pulling over their own car in Mr Wealene's large compound."Everyone seems to be here. But who is the owner of those strange cars. I hate to believe that crazy Mr Wilson is here. But it's all good, everything would be sorted today."She affirmed as she ran her arm into the space between my arm and waist. She held me like couples would do and called,"After me, y'all."As we walked towards the door, I wanted so badly to tell her the last secret but sincerely I was scared. And I still am. I should tell her but I just can't, no matter how hard I try.But the fact is, the truth cannot stay hidden for long. In just less than five minutes, all would be ratted out. The only concern that scared the hell out of me is her reactio

    Sweet Home.~Dia Wealene~"When did you get a new Ferrari?"He queried as soon as he pulled over in my compound. One thing was the fact that I couldn't believe that this was the end of vacation, let alone the recent stance he had just assumed."What Ferrari?"I turned to him but he had stepped out of the car and walked over to my side. He got the door and I stepped out. He pointed in the direction of the garage. Parked was a red Ferrari. "I never drove this in, and I don't remember telling the automobile company to bring a new car. Nor did Caidine tell me about any--"I hesitated for a while as a supposition suddenly hit me."Come."I walked towards the door as he caught up with me. He held my hand and we both walked into the parlor."Where are they?"I quizzed, walking into the empty first parlour. Then suddenly, came the blast of music over the speaker, b

    Day 7

    Colorado.~Dia Wealene~"I wish we could stay a week more."I complained, tracing my pinky finger through the deep hollow between his two pouting chests. The tip of my skin feeling the hardness of his torso. My head was on the spot where the shoulder meet the chest. We were both in bed. We just finished having sex. And it hadn't been forever since we got here. It's late at night. We're in a hotel. Hyatt Residence Club Beaver Creek, Mountain Lodge."We will. But not now. We will go on several other vacations after our wedding."He assured, stroking the loose strands of hair on my temple. Gentle caresses that turn me on."But wedding can wait. Let's just enjoy many more days alone."I looked up at him, my head poised, chin on his chest, eyes sorting out his.He suddenly sat up, leaning on the head of the bed. He helped me up too and made me sit in between his thighs, his warm arms wounded around m

    Day 5 and 6

    In the middle of the ocean. Bangkok.~Dia Wealene~"Where'd he go?"I walked into the large sitting room in the yacht. My eyes were slightly heavy from sleep but that wasn't enough to slow me down. I walked past the numerous couches locked into each other in a circular mound in the heart of the space.I put up my left hand and caught the sight of the diamond ring glistering. I smiled at the memory of a day before yesterday. I kissed the ring and let out a light laugh. I walked towards the door.We'd spent the previous day in a private jet and had flew all the way from Vegas to Thailand. I have no idea how he chooses his thing, but he seemed obsessed with long-distance stuff.The 24 hours we spent on the jet passed by so quickly, since we spent most of it playing games and watching movies. And earlier this morning, we've set on the ocean and had had some sex spree. And I was just waking up. Waking up to hi

    He proposed...

    "Albert?"I turned around. I was on a cliff with a flat, rectangular top. At the edge of the cliff on the four sides were lit candles and in the middle were sprinkled pink flowers all over the place."Albert?"My heart would liquefy. I'm sure."I'm here!"I heard his voice from the path that led up the cliff. I hurried towards there and couldn't move any further. There were rocky stairs that lead up the cliff. And at the edges of the stairs were candles too. That must be what we had climbed.Albert was walking towards me, climbing the stairs, and in his hands were two giant bouquet of different kinds of flowers I'd never seen."Albert?"I wasn't sure of what else to say as he got to me and handed me both the flowers."Come, my love."He called and I followed him not sure of what to expect even though my sixth-sense was loud enough.As we got back to the spot I had left be

    The Surprise

    Grand Canyon.~Dia Wealene~"Do you really think this is necessary?"I argued, not sure of what else to say. Of course I was been beaten by curiosity as well as anxiety, but both had pressed on me so greatly that I was beginning to feel uncomfortable."We're almost there. You don't have to worry, as soon as I park the car, you'll be in my arms all the way through, till we get to where we are going."He explained. But I kept up the pace of the argument,"But really, Albert. It's already night. Having a blindfold on me makes no difference."I could feel a silhouette eating me up as he pressed his lips on my cheek."To me, it matters. Just trust me, baby."There was plea in his tone and I wasn't ready to prove further."Fine."I muttered, even though twasnt enough. I wanted to tell him to kiss me in the lips to shut me up but I let the urge slide.We had left Japan early this mor

    Thermae Bath Spa. Japan. ~Dia Wealene~ "This is one of those. At least, my young days tasted some of the renowned English buildings in some part of the world." He replied, explaining. He was leaning on the border of the Minerva bath. Twas like a large pool with steams, but I could tell from the feel of the water on my skin, that the water is well treated; mineral-rich. "But it's rather strange. A UK establishment in the heart of Japan. Maybe I should say it's impressive. One of these days, Cleavinks should have a branch too in one of these Asian countries. I'm sure their folks are pretty innovative." He turned to me at that, closing the space in between us; we were facing the front before the turn. "No folks are dumb. But really, have we come all the way to Japan to talk about business?!" He pulled me closer and stole my lips. His left hand at my nape, and the right sliding down my back till it h

    Day 1

    Few Days Later.~Albert~"Where to?"She quizzed, taking a quick glance at the side of my face. I turned to her as quickly as I could, my eyes straying off the express road, my firm hands drifting the steering wheel through the road."Disclaimer: All you have to do for these seven days is to sit back and trust all of my words. Because if you ask me again to where I'm taking you, I would have no choice but to tell you, which would make it no surprise anymore. You know, I can't really keep a secret from you anymore."I paused. The rays of the sun stealing through the window of her seat beside me revealed the glee sweeping past her face. I guess I tried. Caidine had told me to give details whenever she asks a question. I had forgotten to ask her why, but I guess it's really working and helping."What else did Caidine teach you?"She sneered at me. My heart missed a beat. I wanted to show it as Caidin
