The date with Magnus was not as she had hoped it would be. Once again, she was convinced that her life and this man's life were averse.He bragged amateurly, telling her how he was better than most of the billionaires in the city, including her ex husband Marcus.As a matter of fact, Hannah noted Magnus’ obsession with Marcus and how he was seemingly throwing jabs at him, every now and then.Hannah was feeling weary and strained by his unsolicited explanations about his non-existent company and his ostentatious life.“You know I can give you the life Marcus cannot give to you in a thousand years. You know I can make you the Queen of our state and environs and whenever your name is mentioned, men and women alike will tremble.”His words were dry and filled with arrogance. All it did was aggravate Hannah and she began to show her uneasiness.“Are you unhappy to be here with me?” Marcus asked with a smirk. “You haven't said more than three words to me. Your mother promised me that you we
“Please, do not mind that I am here. Try to get comfortable and sleep on the bed. I could stay on the couch. It is almost time anyway.”She nodded with a gasping “okay” try so hard to shield the fact that she probably wanted him on the bed with her.There was a sultry tension engulfing them and neither of them could barely breathe in their corners.“Would you like to have a shower?” Marcus asked, sitting up on the couch.“I would love to but I am just bothered by the fact that I do not have a change of clothes.”Her voice was gentle and almost like a gasp.Marcus smiled proudly. He was somewhat intoxicated by her edginess and loved the fact that she was this tense. For a while, he was beginning to see her differently.No longer just the girl he helped but a woman who his heart thumps for; her laughter, her eyes, her body figure got him enthralled and he had his mind racing whenever her hands touched his or her body held him in a hug.She did it carefree and nonchalantly but it sent sh
Camelia shifted her gaze from his eyes and rested it on his lips. She was enthralled by the sensual curve of it and she knew in her heart that the moment his lips took hers and they were locked, she would never be willing to let go of him and it would go farther.Before she was done nodding, Marcus pressed his lips against hers. His breathing was warm and hers too. Their hearts panting faster and faster and they poured each other's emotions into each other's souls, sharing a moment that was indelible.Their tongues locked and Marcus held her closer, her petite body pressing against his in an enticing manner.“I want more, Camelia…I have wanted more for so long but I was trying to be a gentleman,” he muttered through his locked lips, biting gently at her lower lips.Camelia put her arms around his neck, a gesture that showed that she was ready to have him.Marcus lifted her off the floor and took her into the bathroom. It was a big bathroom and he knew it was going to be memorable.He
The morning after was brighter than they had hoped it would be before they embarked on their journey.They both slept so deeply in each other's arms, reminiscing in their dreams about the lovely action that had happened between them. It felt as though they were having a new life altogether, not the same old grumpy life she had and the life of unlawful accusations that he was going through.In that time, their problems seemed far away from them, shut down by the peace that encircled them.Neither of them remembered that they had to leave as early as four that morning to meet up with the one and only Ferry that would take them across to the East of Leesburg.The first person that woke up to the light of day was Marcus. Camelia's hair brushed against his face and his eyes fell open as he inhaled the freshness of it.It smelt of lavender flowers and they were his favourites. The early rays of sunlight cast its golden glory on her face and he could not help but desire to hold her close fo
Marcus nodded.“I gotta go and get ready right away just Incase Sam calls. He . mentioned that the car has a minor fault but he is on top of the situation.”Camelia nodded and Marcus turned to go to the bathroom for a quick shower. He stopped by the doorway and gave Camelis an enticing look, causing her to smile with a blush.“You look stunning in that dress, by the way.”Camelia thanked him with a subtle nod of her head and shifted her gaze from his to her phone that was in her hand. She could not afford to let the praises get her all needy for him again.After what seemed like the fastest forty five minutes of their lives, Sam rang up his boss to let him know that they were finally ready to take off.Marcus and Camelia packed up all that was theirs in the exquisite hotel room that held a memory of them and they left, walking hand in hand.Camelia wanted to untangled from his grip She did not want to force him to expose them if he was not willing to do that.She tried to gently pull
“And the fact that he was so full of himself in that entire era, holding innocent people hostage,” Sam added. “I really almost thought he'd never meet his end.”They began laughing all over again.The pubman was confused yet, he found a way to bring himself into their cosy conversation.“It does seem like this fella, whoever he was must have done so much evil,” the pubman mentioned in a bid to get the full gist.Camelia did not want to involve him.“You do not even want to know about his many crimes,” Camelia muttered and immediately brought up another conversation to put an end to the conversation.Deep down, she was satisfied that finally, Derek was paying dearly for his crimes against her family. She could see his end already and it brought her so much satisfaction, unfortunately.We are two turns away from the Montegos home,” the pubman announced, adjusting himself on the seat. “I hope y'all ready for whatever turn this visit takes because like I earlier said, that man ain't norma
Linda SheIn sat, cross legged, her face stern and stoic. She was not willing to express emotions before these people.She had not healed from the chaotic murder of her husband and the fact that life slipped away from her in the twinkle of an eye.Marcus began to speak, trying so hard to pour out his soul in their conversation.He wanted her to see that he was saddened by the entire situation, not just about the false accusations against him.“I could have come earlier to meet with you and show my deepest condolences, Mrs SheIn. However, I am sure you know that I became a suspect and was treated as such immediately after your husband was killed.”“Why are you here, Mr Blackwood?” She was not ready for any friendly conversations.Her face was still stoic and she had that firm, unshifting gaze fixed on him.Camelia was slightly anxious that she may not be willing to help Marcus. She kept shifting uncomfortably in her chair.“I am here to firstly express my deepest condolences to you and
She began to sob loudly, slamming her hands against the side table that was planted beside her.Marcus was weakened at this point and so were his partners. He could not say another word, neither could Sam.Camelia had a lot to say. She wanted to plead on his behalf, her eyes were teary as well. She understood how sad Linda was.She got down on her knees, beside Linda and held her palm.“Please Ma'am, stop hurting yourself this much,” she pleaded, tears rolling down her cheeks.She held Linda as though they knew each other before and they both sobbed on each other's shoulder.Camelia rubbed her head and her back while she convulsed tearfully in her shoulder.Marcus and Sam could not easily weep like the ladies but they definitely felt the tense emotion in the room.Camelia pulled back from Linda and began to plead with her.“I cannot say that I don't understand the pain you feel. I feel that pain too, we all do. As a matter of fact, Marcus has best himself for this entire situation. Ho
