AuthorNicholas was sure Jenna would be happy to meet his father. Sincerely, he had promised himself that the next time his father ever made mention of his sexual life _ which was not suffering_ and marriage, that he would Introduce Jenna to him. It sounded too good even to him then when he had introduced her only few days after he was in town. She had flown in from france and had made a show of demanding certain French dishes at dinner which unfortunately, Imelda had not made available. When she had eventually met his father, she had been all fussy and excited to be meeting the man and Nicholas had agreed within him that he would ask her hand that same night.

She had opened the door to him, still on her towel. He was torn between asking her outright to marry him and having her body moulded firmly against him
Author povAs Laura turned and tossed on the bed, the morning light streaming in from the window, she decided that her parents never loved her and her siblings, hence, they had taken that trip that had ended them..she did not know she was muttering out words "When people care too much about their own happiness, they forget that there are others dependent on them and if they make rash decisions for the sake of their happiness, It would definitely affect those depending on them"." Are those some lines from Aristotle?"Helen asked as she walked in with the coffee cup in a saucer. " No. I was just thinking of something".Laura maintained. She would be damned if she let her kid sister see her pains and eventually break down with her. She had been on the verge of tears severally but had always consoled herself and put on the tough facade that kept them together."I thought i should get you coffee in bed. You are worn out."Sure she was and every one who had an eye could see that she was

No way anyone is doing that much. Where are gon' sleep ?""You have never been at her house, Tony. That means, you have basically no idea how large her house is"." Doesn't mean I don't know she lives in a two bedroom apartment like ours."Laura sighed." I could put up with Pete for sometime and pro'lly get Allan to lend me some more money so we can get another place"." Who is Allan? A loan shack? Better don't go get yourself messed up over the rest of us. We will be good."" I did not tell you who Allan is. He is Pete's dad, fam!"Both ladies exchanged glances. " Okay.

Author povShe had no desire to have Ford walk up to her only to start demanding an explanation for whatever was amiss and eventually scolding her as if she was some lousy teenager who hardly knew what her job entails. Truth was, she knew what her job entailed_ smiles and nods and the nice tone of voice even when one was exhausted and had personal conflicts. Like she had.She looked back once and saw that Ford was trying to pacify the man who seemed to be angry. He was forcing a smile and rubbing his hands together. He was apologizing. And what was that look on his face? Why did he look worshipful of the young man? She was disgusted. She scoffed as she reached the Bar man who stopped lip syncing his songs and turned to her."Want something? What do you want now?"He asked while flashing her the same smile that never knew trouble. Laura had often wondered if he never had troubles. Why was he happy if he ever had troubles? Unfortunately, she had eye bags and she had plenty of reasons t
Author pov "That is for making me lose my job, you son of a mother fucking bitch!" She ordinarily did not use the swear Words but now she could not help herself.. she would hit him again if she felt the need to.. her palms still tingled. He sensed her desire to slap him again and he lifter one hand and gave her a stern warning. "I did not deserve the first slap, I will not tolerate a second slap". He said. She stilled. She was fuming. " I did not make you lose your job, lady. I left when I saw that you were too proud to apologize appropriately". "Apologize! You mother fucker!" "You won't use the swear words on me again, I will not have any of that. And, I will make you apologize to me". He said. He was sure. Too sure. She laughed. A humorless laughter that was intended to spite him. "What do you mean? I have lost my job tonight and by tomorrow, I will be out in the streets without a roof over my head and you dare add to my woes.. how evil could you be?!" She did not
Author pov"Reynolds Macpherson, good to meet you, gentleman".Reynolds had maintained. He was not one who would fight over a woman.

It was good seeing you" .He said and stormed out. He was not angry . He was only amazed. He had not counted on being the one to be cheated on and he definitely handled the issue with all the wisdom in the world. He was pleased with himself for that. But the problem remained that his father had gotten the marriage license ready and he was to be married in the next one week and then officially become the owner of the family business. How could he convince his father that he had to do it alone without a wife by his side which was the criteria which his father had mentioned? Damn.

Author pov"I don't have to move anything if she has not said anything".Helen said. Tony rose to his feet and reached for the bag she had been holding." Why's this so heavy? "He asked with a wince as he lifted the bag and set it on the ground again before turning to Laura who had not gotten around to saying anything reasonable. He planted his hands on his waist and tuned to her. She had still not stepped properly into the house." You have been standing by that door since you returned.. what the hell is wrong? Why are you not saying anything sensible, Sis? "Tony demanded. He was getting impatient and it was evident in his tone of voice and eye roll.." We are not going anywhere because__"She stopped and looked about the room like she would cry. She set her tote bag which usually housed her clothes when she was at work and in work clothes."

I'll beat down this door, I'm going to attract the cops at the traffic..I'm going to shout and wave for them to see that I need help!"She said. Her eyes were welling up again and she did not care that he would see her as a weak Woman who seized the littlest opportunities to cry. The last thing she ever wanted to be regarded as was as a weak Woman. Especially not in Front of this mean man.."Well, you won't do that when I have helped you get rid of your problem. I had only been trying to help. Everyone would understand that if you told them_""Listen to yourself! Can you hear what you are saying?!""Well, you can stop yelling your ass out because I am g
