The room was quiet. You could literally slice the calmness with a knife. While Amelia laid flat on her bed and was counting the stars designed over her ceiling, Jace was seated on his usual L sofa chair and didn’t remove an eye on Amelia.He was hoping she was going to look at him and they start conversing so he could tell her at what point she was making a mistake.He parted his lips so many times to speak, but then, Amelia’s tense face made him gulp down whatever he was going to say. Massaging his hands was the only thing that calmed down his stress.Seeing her turn position on the bed, he parted his lips one more time. When he was about to voice out her name, her phone started buzzing, which eventually stopped him from speaking.“Hello,” she responded. Her voice was low and sultry.“Hello Amelia, I believe you aren’t fine. Do you mind coming over? I can prepare something for you.” Daryl said over the phone.“I-I…” She started speaking, but Daryl interrupted her.“Listen, I understa

“You are making this difficult.” Amelia started talking. “You’ve never…” “Yes, I have never requested for us to play games except when we were still kids. I know you are afraid of this but there’s no point. You don’t have to be afraid because there’s nothing about it.” Daryl said, trying to reassure her.“If you say so, then… let’s ride on.” Amelia folded her arms over her chest before mentioning. Though she didn’t like it, she decided to give him the benefit of doubt.With that, Daryl stood up from his seat and started walking to his shelf of books. He took out three romance books and returned to his seat. Amongst the books were that of an old author. A book they both knew. Once he resumed his seat, Amelia’s lips curled up in a smile. She knew all the books Daryl had in hers. But she was still trying to figure out whether the game would be based on the books.He cleared his throat and began, “So the game is a very simple one. You’ll choose from any of these books. The one you’ll wa

Two days passed and the vacation was going on smoothly. Amelia, alongside Daryl were having a good time at the hotel where they were lodging“Amelia, would you like us to take a quick throw at the corner part of London?” Daryl asked, just after sipping a mouth full of his fruit juice.“Do you think it’s a good idea?” Amelia halted before continuing, “You know, I really don’t want to take much of your time. I can see how occupied you are.” Amelia cleared her throat before saying. Even though she was excited by what he just said, she will never want to use all his time.“Oh, Amelia darling. You really don’t have to stress yourself when it comes to me. I am the one who invited you here. It’s also my responsibility to take you around. So yes, you aren’t taking much of my time.” Daryl wrapped his hands over her neck before saying.“If you say so, then yes, I would gladly follow you around.” Amelia said, jerking herself off the chair.With his hands still wrapped over her shoulders, they be

“What is going on here?” Angelo asked, interrupting words to split out of Alma’s throat.“Humm… nothing is going on, Sir. I was just asking Jace here if I could share the same seat with him.” She shivered before saying. She was just from a two week punishment, and was not ready to go back there.Angelo widened his eyes, as he knew that would never be the case. Knowing so she was, it was impossible.“Yeah, Sir. That’s true, but I told her I can’t share the same desk as her.” Jace lowered his head before stating.“Okay, then . You can leave if he isn’t willing to share the same desk as you.” Angelo said, shoving his hand at her. “And you, come with me. I need you to drive me out.” Angelo turned and faced Jace before speaking out. Once the I formation was passed, he made a U turn and started walking away.Out of the premises, Jace opened the back and door, allowing space for Angelo to climb in. Once he was in, he rounded the car and occupied the driver’s position. “Where do you want to

Ding!A car honk out of the gate. The guard was not available, so Jace had to leave what he was doing and rushed to the gate. The gate was wildly opened by him and Daryl drove in. He had no idea that Amelia was coming home tonight. She didn’t even bother to inform him. Seeing her climb down from his car and embrace him, kind of caused his heart to race.“I had a nice time with you, I hope we would frequently have short holidays like this.” Daryl said, holding her hands in his.“Yeah, I would definitely love to do this again.” Amelia said, smiling at him.Throughout their conversation, they ignored the fact that Jace was around. Even after he cleared his throat to signal his presence, they didn’t still take him into consideration.“Have got to go home, but I will be back. I definitely have a surprise for you.” Daryl mentioned pointedly.“Hahaha…” Amelia began laughing, “What other surprise do you have, Daryl? You’ve already done alot for me.” She said, her hands still engraved in his.

This time, Daryl was busily patrolling the streets of Madrid in search of a Rolls Royce he could get for Amelia. He called some contacts to help him look for one after the tough day he had.Glaring at his wristwatch, the time read almost 7 pm. He entered his car and sped off, heading to Tessie’s house.“Damn, I have got to get her a present before showing myself at her apartment.” With his suggestion, he stopped by a supermarket and got her a cocktail and some other yoghurts. In the space of thirty minutes, he arrived at her house.Ding! After ten seconds, the door was widely opened for him. She embraced him and later took the package he had in brand.“What’s in here?” She asked, placing the plastic on the table and running her hands through it.“One of those cheap gifts, right? You’ve come to tease me with those.” She asked, irritation filling her face.“Oh common, Tessie. You know I’ll never tease you. You are my one and only love.” Daryl said, wrapping his hands below her waist.Sh

“Yes, I am around. Who is looking for me?” Amelia unlocked the door of the living room, while going out. She was in her room, having a bow when she heard the car honking. It didn’t come to her mind that this person wanted to see her. As a normal person should do, she got down from her bed and went down to see what was happening. It’s only when she was close to the door that she overheard Daryl’s conversation with her mother.“Oh, Daryl, you are here this morning. Does that mean you’ve not gone to work?” Amelia asked before locking eyes with the brand new car.“What’s this for?” She bombarded again. Her eyes, not leaving the car.Daryl started approaching her, took her left hand into his and kissed the back hand. “To begin with, I would love to know if you had a sound slap. Seeing you, it shows I woke you up from your sleep. I’m very sorry.” He started talking but Amelia was impatient to discover what it was all about.“This car standing here is yours. I asked my car dealer to get me

“No one will deal with anyone here. Let’s go out and have some fun. I know you are angry at her.” Daryl stood up and tried dragging Amelia off the chair.“I don’t think that I want to go out. This idiot just ruined my day.” Amelia bombarded.“I know, that’s why I want us to go out. Let’s use your new car, at least that away you’ll start smiling” Daryl begged which she accepted. He held her hand and they both stepped out. She entered her beautiful car and they spat off.They drove till they were now out of their city. They reached a nearby pool. Where Daryl asked her to stop.“Let’s hang out around here. I’m sure you are going to love the place.” Daryl said she stopped the car. They got down and occupied two seats.“Please do not allow what Elsy said affect you, okay. You are a strong woman and I love the fact that you stood up for me. Thank you so much.” Daryl continued saying.“You are my friend. It’s only normal for me to stand up for the people I love and cherish.” Amelia continue

“I think we should take things slower. Let’s not rush things so we can learn to know each other better. Let’s define our priorities and goals.” Amelia mentioned while they were having dinner.“That’s true, you are very correct. I don’t want us to rush things. Let’s take the process gradually.” Jace confirmed.They spent another hour and it was time to leave. Jace opted to drop her at her house but she insisted that she wants to get a cab.“You have to chill, I’m not gonna allow you to go home on your own.” Jace insisted as he opened the car door for her. Left with no choice, she entered.She didn’t want in any way to be a burden to him, that's why she kept on refusing most of his services. This one she wasn’t going to escape.“Have a sound sleep.” Jace said. He dropped her in front of her gate and waved his hands at her.“Thanks, do have a nice sleep too.” Once he dropped her, he was off to his father’s house. It was literally two weeks since he had last set his foot in their house.

Elsy summoned her courtage and managed to go back to her house. She went there for just two reasons. Firstly, to get her luggage out of his house and secondly, to confront him. If he thinks he was going to go free of charge then he should step off his high horse. She went through his documents and fell on allthe contracts he signed with Marchburry. Going through every damn content, she was able to go through the terms and conditions of the contact. Indeed, Jace didn’t lie when he said Carlos' automobile no longer belonged to him.“My god, how come I didn’t see all this? I have been living in this house for as long as possible and it was just below my nose. How stupid I could be.” Elsy yelled at herself. She continued going through some documents of his. She found a pull of money. Not minding how much it was, she removed five lots of it and put that in her purse. She now kept the other pull back in its rightful position. When she heard the door creaking, she knew it was Carlos. She

“Start the car, we are visiting my father. I hope his maids are aware of my visit?” Jace asked Angelo as he struggled to arrange the files that laid scattered on his table.“Yes, young master. I told them already. The cook asked to know what you’ll love to eat. In no particular order, I stated all meals you love.” Angelo stated.With a smile, Jace heaved heavily. “Thank you, Angelo. Just give me some minutes, when I get done we will go home.” Jace proposed.“Oh, young master let me help you out.” Angelo proposed but Jace refused. He said he could do it on his own.Done at Storm, Angelo accompanied him home. He took his bath, wore one of the expensive suits he got and associated it with an expensive brogue. Looking at himself, he was ready to reintroduce himself to the world.“I’m ready, we can now take our leave.” He said. Angelo opened the door for him and sauntered out, heading to his father's mansion.In the surroundings, he could come into view with his father’s gate. It was bold

Twenty four hours passed and Daryl was still not home. He had spent the night at a nearby bar where he kept drinking and commanding for others.“Serve me and then serve the rest here in my bills. I’m gonna pay for all of them.” He ordered after he had taken his fifth bottle of beer. It was visible that he was tipsy and his statement was as a result of his drunkenness. The bartender knew him so he did just as he said. He served each and everyone present a bottle of beer.“Thank you biggest boss,” Those were the words the young dudes uttered after getting a bottle of beer free of charge.“You kids are all welcome,” He raised his hands and accepted their recognition. He was someone who was in love with those kinds of words.In forty minutes he was done with his drink. He called the bartender to sage him another drink. Quickly, the dude burst out with another bottle in his hand.Once the beer was opened, he sipped for a while before depositing it on his table. He glared and noticed that

“Look at me this teenager, who do you take yourself for? Is it because you had the opportunity to get married to a beautiful and wealthy lady who took you in and sponsored your uselessness?” Robert said. At the end of his statement, he stressed out the last word.“It’s not only about getting married to her. But if calling me useless is because you are interested in her then you can have her to yourself, I don’t care about that. But don’t call me useless ever in your life.” Jace warned.“Get lost, you are useless and that won’t change what I feel regarding you.” Robert challenged him.“Since you are too relaxed and proud of yourself, I’m gonna show you what I have reserved for you.” He said and reached for his pocket. He brought out his phone and dialled Corey’s number. Within seconds of ringing, he picked up his call.“Young master, it’s my pleasure to be on the phone with you. Is there anything I can do for the young master?” Corry asked, his voice growing softer.“Yes, there’s some

“Fired, Sir?” Her eyes widened at this statement. What did she do for her to warrant such evil treatment from him?“Yeah, you heard me correctly. You are here by fired. I don’t want to meet you anytime I come around, like I won’t take it lightly with you.” He made it crystal clear.She raised her hands and dropped them on her head, “Sir, is there anything bad I did? All these years I have served Storm with passion. I have always been loyal and punctual. I am always at work and always delivers at time. If not for that useless Angelo, I wouldn’t have been sent home for two weeks. It’s his fault and not mine.” Alma tried to explain herself.Jace’s face became dark when she referred to Angelo as useless. He would never allow anyone to talk down on Angelo no matter if he was only his driver.“Hey, watch your mouth. This is not the place where you can use any kind of slang.” He said, his brows furrowing, “Do you think just being at work on time is all that is required to run a successful co

“This is a true definition of our lives can change at all times. Can you imagine I just got to found out I was working for my husband without knowing? I had signed contracts with his companies without even knowing they belonged to him.” Amelia said desperately.“I will advice you to start using the term ex-husband as from today, because I’m sure he is gonna cimd back for you. He won’t spare you when he begins the divorce procedure.” Elsy reminded her.“I am still his legal wife, Elsy. You aren’t tell me what to do or how to adress him. He is still my husband.” Amelia yelled.“Oh, darling. Please can you come down your high horse? The same husband you had accepted someone else’s proposal? The same husband you asked him to pack out? Is that the same one you are talking about?” Elsy bombarded.It just dawned on her that she had not treated Jace in the last couple of months. She and her mother were the same. She had everything her mother instructed her to do.“I will be in my room now, I

“I was preparing my revenge.” The word stick them again. There was an absolute silent, as if someone had taken their voices and ran away with it.Amelia finally gathered her courage and spoke up, “So we’ve been staying under the sand roof and you thought it wise to hide things away from me? As couples, that isn’t supposed to take place. It simply shows you hsve been fake from the onset.” Amelia declared.“Oh, spare me that shit. I did everything I could to be a good man to you. Yet you didn’t see that. You kept treating me like a little toy.” Jace bombarded.“What about my grandmother? What did her company got to do with you? What wrong did shd ever do to you?” Amelia continued with her question.“That question is very simple to answer.” Jace started talking, “She was constantly talking down on me. She always insulted and said all kind of trash concerning my unknown family.” Jace pocketed his hands before saying.“That wasn’t her fault. It wasn’t her fault that she didn’t like you. Y

“Daryl, who is Tessie?” The question played again in his head.Daryl removed his hand off Amelia’s shoulders and took some distance. Amelia turned and looked at him, “What is he talking about? And who is Tessie in the first place?” She implored.“You can ask him, I don’t know what he is talking about.” Daryl said pretentiously. His eyes were interlocking with that of Jace.“Jace, if you don’t know what to say walk away and let me go have a nap.” Amelia started talking.“Why are you in a haste? Look him in the face and see how unfree he is. Do you think he doesn’t know who I am talking about?” Jace continued with his questioned. “Daryl, what is he trying to say? Who is this Tessie lady?” Amelia took some distance and asked.“Yes, Daryl, we need to know who is the Tessie, Jace is talking about.” Elsy added as she was eager to know what misery was behind the Tessie.“How can you ask Amelia to het married to you when you already have a fiancée? Is that normal?” Again, Jace asked. This qu
