Vivian wasn't still okay with everything; she really wanted to know why Marcel's life became a mess.She decided to go and search for him. She went to the roadside, where she met him. When she saw him, she didn't know what to say; she had to put herself together. As she moved closer to him, she gave him a tap on the shoulder.Fear gripped him; his heart raced so fast as though it was going to burst into pieces."Hi""Hi Vivian, How are you?"Fine, um, I came to see you. I realized you've been wanting to explain something to me, but I haven't given you listening ears. That is why I came here to see you."Yeah, I have."She sat down to listen."A few years ago, I was the CEO of my company, assisted by my sister Nancy. Although we weren't the biggest company,"I got married to a lady whose name was Beauty. Beauty was married to Ethan, but she couldn't stay with him because he was broke; he was just an ordinary dispatch rider. So she got married to me. I knew she was married and had not y
She told me never to call her.Vivian looked at him as though she felt pity for him, but she didn't at all. When he was done talking, she stood up and looked at him."This is how you pay for your evil; you don't even deserve to leave at all; you should have died by now."I love how you feel pain; this is how I felt when I lost my child; you made me feel worthless. I pray you never find peace. She took her step toward it and retreated it back."And let me warn you for the last time: I don't ever want to see you close to me or anywhere around my house. If you do, I will make sure you pay dearly for it. She walked into her car and got out aggressively.He watched her drive away. He fell on his knees and cried like a child. He wondered if he should go back to Ethan after a long while."Working for him won't be a big deal. I no longer have anything to lose or to be scared of. I already lost beauty; I lost my company and even Nancy; what else do I have to lose? It will be better. I went bac
This meant the world to him; his dreams of building a family with the love of his life are now a reality.He turned to see his wife and held her hand."My dreams of building a family have now become a reality because of you. I am sorry I wasn't here with you when your water broke to carry you as you felt pain."It’s just impossible to have the right words for appreciating you for giving me a bundle of joy. So cute to behold! Thank you so much, sweetheart, for carrying me to term and living through the labor pains. You are the best thing that has happened to me. You are the best thing that is happening to me, and you will be the best thing that will always happen to me. I can’t imagine living without you. You make my world, and today you make me fall in love a million times over with you again. Our baby is cute."Holding our child in my hand makes me feel great, and I am blessed this day to share the word “parents” with you, dear. You took a seed from me and allowed your body to be fer
"How did you know I just gave birth? I was about to call you now".Keren turned and looked at Henry. She pointed at him."He did"."Oh, he's such a big mouth.""Where is my baby?"He's right here.""Oh, my sweet baby, he's so cute. I love him so much." She covered his face with kisses."Babe, I am really happy for you. I knew how it was when we started; you didn't want to get into any relationships because of your past. I love how I saw you fall in love."You have a great personality, and you are the best boss I ever had. Being your secretary was fun. Life would be so much better if people like you were more like you; your kindness is like a balm to all those who need it. You are more fun than anyone or anything. I know I appreciate our friendship. You are an excellent friend. If I ever come back into the world a second or third time, you will still be my friend. Even if I come back into the world a million times, I will still choose you as my friend. Thank God I met you.Vivian was s
"I stood still like a wood, so numb I couldn't say any other thing other than 'Am sorry'. He stood up and walked to me. He held my hands and complimented me. He said he loved how I looked in that towel and how my body dripped so wet. His voice was calm. I stared at his lips, wondering what it would taste like if his hands went across my waist and drew me closer to himself as he kissed me on my neck and squeezed my ass gently. His hands were as soft as a new-born . He whispered sweet words into my ear that turned me on. I was vulnerable at that point. He kissed my ears slowly, had his tongue roll around my neck, kissed and caressed me, and squeezed my breast slowly. I was already wet down there. Vivian, no man had ever made me feel that way, not even my ex."He took me to the bed, and taking off his clothes, he rolled his tongue on my n******s down to my belly and went down to my v****a. I moaned as he gave me a good head, and my legs trembled. He took me up and bent me over as we made
They were done setting up the house for the big day. People had already begun to come, and the naming had begun.Henry went upstairs to call Vivian and his mom so they could come down with the baby. Her parents, brother, Keren, and other people were downstairs.Henry couldn't believe his eyes when he saw Calvin walk in. He had told Calvin about it, but Calvin said he was still in Germany. It was a prank, although he wanted to surprise his friend."Look who we have here; they both shook hands with each other and gave themselves a hug." Bro I didn't know you were going to come. You know, I just told you about it yesterday, and you said you were still in Germany. I didn't know you would be here.Calvin chuckled."It was a surprise, man. I didn't want to tell you that I couldn't miss such a day in my life as a friend and brother.Henry's teammates and coach also followed. He couldn't believe his eyes seeing them present at his house for his son's naming; he didn't believe so many loved hi
"Shout out to you, momma, the best mom in the world. You've been a friend and a mom, my playmate. Thank you, mom, for always being patient. You’re the smartest person I know, and I have learned so much from you. I cherish you and am so grateful for having you as my mom. Thank you for giving birth to me. Momma, I love you so much."I want to appreciate another person who gave me the best gift in life, my mother-in-law. Ma'am, I thank you for giving birth to the most beautiful woman on earth and raising her to be a disciplined woman. The world would be a million times better if everyone had a mother-in-law like you. You're the best mom, mom-in-law, and grandma we could ask for! You're selfless, patient, compassionate, loving—and so many other great things that make you so special."Another shout to my father-in-law I love you, sir. You've nurtured a wonderful mother. You've always been devoted to your family. You set such a loving example for everyone. Thanks for leading with strength,
"I love you, son"."I also want to make a toast to my son and to all of us present here.They clinked their glasses and toasted Mateo. Music played, and everyone danced.Vivian couldn't wait to let Henry know about what was going on between Keren and Calvin. She brought Henry to where Keren and Calvin were dancing. At first, she stared at them like she didn't know what she was doing."Um, babe, you remember when I said there was something I wanted to say but I'd rather not be out there?Henry was still lost; he still didn't know what was going on."Baby, Calvin, and my friend Keren got engaged.She raised Karen's hand and showed it to Henry.He gave a wide smile on his face as he scratched his beards.He took hold of Keren's hand to look at the ring."Wow, I'm numb right now. This is shocking and wonderful. But Calvin, why didn't you tell me something was going on between you and Keren? How did you guys meet? He asked Calvin."We met at your wedding. And we just wanted it to be quiet,
Mr. Greftan was admitted to the hospital and placed on bed rest by the doctor. He had a minor heart attack and the doctor warned that it might reoccur if Mr. Greftan wasn't resting well. Keren was still not at work, and Ethan couldn't find her document. He searched all his files but they were nowhere to be found. He was sure he left it in his office. He was worried about Keren but there was no way to reach her. It had been two weeks since the incident and Keren was not yet at work. He thought it was because they made out that was why she was shy about resuming and it broke him when he couldn't find her credentials so he could locate her house address. Worst of all, he didn't have her picture saved on his phone; the only picture he had of her was missing too, and he couldn't explain how Keren’s document mysteriously disappeared from his office. Ethan turned on the CCTV camera to see if Eli was the one who took Keren’s file but he didn't see anything out of the ordinary; all he could

“Impressive!! This is by far the best project you have come up with; I cannot believe it! How did you get this idea?“You see, grandpa, I am not the bad egg after all; I have been breaking my back working on something that would make you and dad proud.“I cannot wait to show Ethan this project; I am sure he will be so proud of you.Eli collected the documents from his grandfather’s hand; he did it in such a way that it showed that he was disgusted with what his grandfather said.“What? What is wrong? Do you want to yank your hand off? Why did you collect your document like that? Did I say something wrong?"Yes, grandfather, you do not even trust me enough; I did all of this myself and now you want to show Ethan for approval.“I wasn't going to show him for approval; I just wanted him to know what you were working on; surely he would be so excited too. “Why do you always do this, grandpa? Do you need validation from Ethan before approving my project? You all complain that I don't do a
“Irish! I thought you said she wouldn't be here!“I know Vivian, but Keren lives here; you both cannot be fighting forever; I need you both to settle your differences. “If not for the fact that we are sisters, I would have slapped you really hard! I do not have time for this nonsense! “But Vivian, Irish is right; you cannot be like this forever; you need to forgive me and let us move on.“You killed them! I will never forget that you made me a widow! I want nothing to do with you; excuse me, I am out of her.Vivian left the house, ignoring Irish and Keren, who were calling out her name. All the excitement on Keren’s face faded away. She fell to the couch and let out a loud sigh of relief. Irish sat beside her. They were both silent for a few minutes before Irish decided to break the silence.“You do not have to think too much about it; she will come around; she is still traumatised, and she told me she started therapy; she will come around soon."It has been years; I miss my best fri
“Take me home. That was the last thing Ethan said before he was unconscious. Keren had to call for the help of the receptionist so they could carry Ethan to the car. By the time they got downstairs, the driver was already in his seat, waiting to move. They managed to put Ethan into the car, the receptionist went back to her work station and everyone was worried, wondering what was happening to their boss. They thought he fainted but the receptionist had to tell them that the boss was under a lot of stress and he needed rest. Ethan was in the back seat with Keren; he was sleeping deep. Keren couldn't get her eyes off him; she wished she could touch his hair so she could do that. Tears rolled down her face when she thought about her late fiance. She looked outside the window so no one would see her crying. Shortly after, they got to the mansion and Keren was left in amazement. She couldn't believe her eyes; she couldn't believe the edifice standing tall in front of her. When the driv
Keren was so shy, she used to wish the ground would open and swallow her. Ethan was still fast asleep; he was oblivious that his grandfather was in the room. “You must be Keren, right?Keren tried to speak but she was stuttering and she struggled to compose herself."Yes, I am, sir.“Why is Ethan fast asleep by this time?“He is drunk, sir; he drank too much. “I see. Follow me.“Sir?“You heard me; follow me. Ethan’s grandfather left the room and Keren jumped off the bed and rushed to Ethan’s closet to wear something casual. She wore a white collar shirt and joggers. When she was done, she headed downstairs to meet Mr. Geftan. “Right on time, join me.Mr. Geftan poured Keren a glass of freshly pressed juice; he pressed it himself. It was a mixture of pineapple, watermelon and a little ginger. “This is so lovely, sir; I have never tasted a better fruit juice.“So tell me, what is it like working with Ethan?“I have no idea, sir. I only resumed today. I hoped I was going to have a bli
How can I repay you for your kindness sir?“You do not have to pay me, just go home and start something beautiful and profitable for you and your son. Your son deserves something better.“Who are you sir?Bal’s father said amidst tears, he couldn't control the tears that rolled down his face, he wanted to kneel to appreciate Ethan but Ethan stopped him mid air.“You do not have to do that, just consider me your angel, now please go get something good to eat.“Thank you uncle, my dad is really happy. Bal and his father left the park and Ethan watched how joyous they looked until they faded out of sight, he was truly happy for them… he was fulfilled when he saw the smile on their faces, and at that moment he was convinced that everything happened for a reason, if Eli had not crashed his car, he wouldn't have met Bal. He walked back to the hospital ward and when he got there he was informed that Eli was out of coma. He wasn't sure if he was happy about the news or not but he had to go
“I am not going to calm down, grandfather!! Did you see what he did to my car? That car was badly damaged—damaged beyond repair!! “Stop stressing over material things; your insurance company can take care of the damages.“They would if I were the one driving the car, but I am not and Eli is moving around with an expired driver’s license!" He better stay in that coma, because I will send him back there if he comes back to this house! How dare he take my car without my permission!!! He left his luxurious cars and took mine. I am starting to think that he crashed my car on purpose. “ Don't be ridiculous. I understand you are upset but do you think Eli would risk his life just to crash your car and get back at you? You should be praying for his recovery, not this.“God forbid!! I better waste my time on important things than pray for that rebellious soul. Eli is a lost cause.“You are the older one, Ethan. I know Eli is not the best but do you want us to throw him away? Your father doesn
“Hahah!! I told you I was going to get to you, didn't i? Eli was smiling at the screenshot he took; he was the happiest soul that night. He was one step away from bringing Ethan down and he was very excited. He took out his phone and called Marcel.“Hello, where are you?“I am resting at my loudspeaker.“Meet me at the bar.“At the bar? By this time of the night? Isn't it late already?“I told you never to oppose me again; remember, I am paying for that room. I can kick you out anytime, so please do as I say or else I will throw you out.“I will be there in 20 minutes.“Be there in 15.“Eli ended the call and tossed his phone on the bed and he made his way to his closet to change into something casual for the night. He was humming a melodious song as he went to the bathroom to freshen up. After he was done, he took Ethan’s porch and left. He didn't want to drive his Ferrari, but he knew Ethan was going to have his head by morning, but he didn't care.“He got to the bar and ordered a
