While they were jogging, Henry could not help but stare at Vivian like he had seen an angel.He decided to talk to her.Hey Vivian, how are you? He asked. Vivian responded to him, so they started talking while they were both jogging.Vivian got to the point where she could not continue jogging.They had to walk the remaining route back home. They spoke for a long time while walking back home. Although it was so much fun for the both of them, Vivian had not had so much fun in a long time.Henry made sure he dropped her off at her apartment before going to his friend's house.He did pass the night at Calvin's house.When Henry got home, after taking his shower, he called Vivian to know if she'd be okay. Vivian picked up his call, and they had a lengthy conversation over the phone.It seemed like Vivian was beginning to like Henry.Vivian got to the office the next day. She told Keren everything that happened between her and Henry yesterday.Keren was so surprised because she had not se
"He wanted to engage Vivian".He planned everything out; Vivian wasn't aware of it.She was sitting in her office when the company's gateman brought a flower bouquet to her office.He said the dispatch rider gave it to him to give to Miss Vivians.The gateman handed it to Vivian and left.There was a short note inside the flower bouquet that said',"You make me forget how to breathe. Just the thought of you right now makes my heart soar. I love you more than I did yesterday, but not more than I will tomorrow. Anonymous.."She wondered who the flowers came from".She was about to stand up from her seat when the gateman came back again to tell her that her attention was needed at the reception.She had to follow him immediately because she didn't have any appointments to see anyone. And if anyone wanted to see her, Keren, her secretary, would definitely let her know."She got to the reception". But what she saw got her even more baffled. The gateman said her attention was needed at the
"When I told my parents, they were so unhappy about it"."My father cursed me the day I was born; he said I was disgraceful to him after all he had done to raise me up and train me through the university; this is how I could pay him in return"."He threw me out of the house; my mom tried to beg him to forgive me, but he threatened to throw her out alongside me". "My mom told me to go and stay with my aunt"."I went to my aunt's place" and "she took care of me up until the day I gave birth to my child"."After I gave birth to my daughter," my dad came to the hospital to apologize to me; my mom and aunt were so surprised; my younger brother Darwin also came; he was in school when my aunt told him that I had already given birth; I was so happy when I saw him"."We all went back home that day "."She got called by my father ". Her name was Elina, which meant "bright light."Motherhood has begun for me". Whenever I saw Elina, she gave me hope and strength."On a Sunday evening, I left Elin
She brainstormed on the thought of going to see Henry's mother; she was so nervous.She had never done that before. She asked Henry"Henry, are you sure your mom will like me? What will your sister say?Don't worry, it will be fine; they will all love you, he assured her.Vivian thought of getting a gift for Henry's mom.Henry knew what his mom loved the most.His mom loves the "Audemars Piquet Collection wrist watch".They both went to get Audemar's piquet wrist watch for her."Henry and Vivian traveled to go see Henry's mom", since she had insisted on meeting with Vivian."They arrived at his mom's place". His mom was so thrilled to see her son."Henry introduced Vivian to his mom"."Mom, meet Vivian, my wife to be" and "Vivian, meet my mom". "Nice to meet you, young lady," his mom said as she gave Vivian a hug."Thank you, ma"."Vivian was nervous". She gave her the wrist watch she bought for her.She was overwhelmed by the gift Vivian gave her."Wow, is this for me"? "Thank you v
A cab stopped next to her car."Who could this be"? She mumbled; Keren could barely hear her.She took some seconds to see who would come out of the cab. When the person inside the cab came out, it was her mom.It took her a few seconds to actually recognize her mother; her mom had become a little fat and was looking all good and younger."Who is that"?. Keren asked."That's my mom.""Are you serious", She's so young, nobody will believe this woman gave birth to you.She didn't even allow Vivian to complete her words before running out of the car to hug her mom". "Mommy"!!. Vivian!!!Her mom couldn't believe her eyes; it was as though she had seen a ghost."Are you sure that's you"?."Yes, mommy, it's me". She gave her mom a tight hug."Good day, ma". Keren greeted Vivian's mom."Mom, meet Keren, my friend and also my secretary". "Keren, meet my mom"."You are welcome, Keren.".Her mom told them to go inside the house.When she came back home to see her parents leave joy in her hea
They had to wait for everyone to get back before eating.While they were sitting in the parlor, her mom asked her why she had come back home."Mommy, to see my family, although that's not the reason, although I have something else to discuss."."I knew there was something more than just playing a surprise visit, so what could that be"?."Mommy, I'd want dad to be around before saying it". Her dad came immediately, and she ended her statement."Daddy". She ran to him and gave him a big hug.He was so shocked to see Vivian."You didn't tell anyone that you were coming home, nor did she tell you, dear," he returned to ask her mom."No, she didn't"," she said, saying she wanted it to be a surprise"."Oh, I see", "Vivian, I slightly heard you tell your mom that you have something to tell her but you want me to be around", "So what could that be"?."Daddy, I promise to tell you after dinner".It was late, and Darwin wasn't yet back home.Vivian had to call him. She got her phone and calle
"He's such a good man, I must say," Vivian's mom added."Yes, mommy, he is"."He asked me to be his girlfriend, and I accepted. We started dating for a few months before he engaged me. She slowly brought the ring out of the pocket where she put it. ''.Her parents struggled to make sense of the sight before them, their faces engulfed in shock."Wow, I can't believe this. I am so happy for my daughter" , they said in the chorus, like it was scripted out.Her mom couldn't help the tears of joy that ran through her eyes."So when are we meeting this gentleman and his family? Her dad inquired."Dad, he's out of the country as we speak, but he will be back in the next week." He is a professional football player, and he plays at a club in Germany".Her parents were so dazed.Everyone retired back to their rooms; it was already late. The ladies had to travel back the next day.Vivian and Keren packed their luggage. When they finished packing, Keren went to take a shower.They didn't want to
Days went by, and she didn't respond to calls or emails. It was so terrible for him; not hearing from her was emotional torture for him.He couldn't bear it anymore.He went ahead to take a break from his head coach to travel back to London to see his love, Vivian.When he arrived, he went straight to her house, but unfortunately, she wasn't there. He knew Vivian only goes to two places, which are her office and her house.He headed straight to her office. When he got there, he went to her office, but she wasn't there; she had a meeting.He waited for her to finish her meeting. He didn't mind waiting the whole day just to see her. While he sat on the chair, he continuously tapped his feet on the flour with his head facing up and staring at the bulbs.So many thoughts ran through his mind.After the meeting was over, she came back to her office.When she saw him, she fell backwards at the sight that she saw before her.He shivered hard, and his lips quivered. Opening his mouth to speak
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
