Breakfast was longer than usual, filled with smiles and laughter. Lucy had changed into her usual, baggy top with a skinny Jean and her hair effortlessly fell down her back in a beautiful way. Andi accompanied her for her dress fitting at the tailor's and the woman brought out the dress they had asked her to make before. It took quite an effort to get Lucy into the dress even though madam Natasha--the tailor--was sure she had taken the right measurements. The silver white dress was fitted at the top and flowed down like a princess' dress. The dress was armless and it revealed most of her back and her shoulders. It cupped tightly around her breast--maybe too tightly--unlike it was supposed to be. Madam Natasha stared confusedly at Lucy. "How quickly can a woman add? You seem to have gained more pounds than three weeks ago." Lucy chuckled awkwardly. "I guess so." Madam Natasha smiled. "Listen honey, I know of a woman who used to eat twice as much when she was nervous or stressed.
Lucy had changed back into her normal clothes and given her wedding dress to madam Natasha to adjust like she promised she would. Andi and Carla sat next to each other and Lucy and Taylor together on another chair. Lucy's every attention was focused on her husband to be and his new chatty company. They all sipped on some coffee and tea. "So you are trying to tell me right now that Mr Ryan Davidson is your mother's brother and Joel, my own fiancée, is your cousin?" Carla's brow arched skywards. Andi smiled. "It's weird isn't it? I didn't think I would learn of his marriage this way." "I didn't think I'd learn any of this this way!" Carla exclaimed with a slight chuckle. She turned to look at Taylor, "girl! You knew this all along and didn't tell me?"Taylor's hand holding her tea froze in mid air and she lowered the cup back to the table. "Huh?" She absentmindedly responded. "You have seen Joel's pictures a dozen of times, definitely you knew that he was your husband's--sorry, ex
The four of them strolled out of madam Natasha's mall, as Carla had confessed, she had a thing for blue and short things, judging from the blue mini skirt she was putting on. So she purchased a few blue things and some mini that weren't blue but beautiful to her eyes. Andi had insisted on paying for her purchase which he did even though she kept declining in. Standing by his car, Lucy stopped next to him and Carla with Taylor stood opposite the couple. A smile crept on Carla's face and the holes in her cheek deepened, several shopping bags in her hand. "So, I'll take this as part of my wedding gift. The second thing I want is a nice dinner with you and your mom, Andi. I think it's only right that I meet my aunt in law." "Alright, I'll see to it. Can I have your card then?" Andi arched his brow as he asked. "Yeah, let's exchange cards." She reached into her bag and took out a card which she exchanged with Andi for his. "Then I'll be expecting your call. Share my number with your w
Lucy stepped back with a sigh. "Don't take too long, I'll be in the car." She turned to walk away but Andi gripped her hand. With a smile, she tiptoed and kissed his lips. "She needs to move on and she'll never do that if you don't open her eyes to reality."She slipped out of his hold and went into the car. Carla looked as furious as ever, but she smiled at Andi. "I am really sorry for all of this mess, I'll give you some time but not too much time." She glared at Taylor. "You had better meet me in the car in the next five minutes!" She spat out, not caring that Andi would hear. She turned and walked away. Andi sighed. "Why would you care to hear that from me? Who am I to you that it matters so much to hear that one word from me?" His voice was soft. "I... I don't know. I just feel weird these days and I know it is related to you--""Congratulations." He cut her off. She stared wide eyed at him. Hearing that word now, it hurt more than it did when he didn't say it because she cou
The drive home was quick. Andi and Lucy went back to his house together to go over a few things for their wedding. As expected, his mother had gone out to see her friends but he was not angry because she had spent so much time locked up in the hospital that if she decided to spend the next few years going out and traveling even. "Have you talked to your mom about a family dinner before the wedding?" Andi asked his fiancée. "I mean we are getting married this Saturday and she has spent the past two months in Asia. It would be nice if she could come around and actually meet us."Lucy smiled. She was laying with her head on his chest and a tablet in her hand. They were both on the sofa. "Listen," she flipped to another image. "My mom is kind of a weird woman. The funny thing is, I have already mentioned this to her several times but she keeps saying she has seen you and your mom on the news.""But that doesn't count because I haven't seen her before. I mean..." Andi chuckled softly. "We
Andi stared surprisedly at the text. "For the past two months..." He said hesitantly. "I haven't received any message from this anonymous number. I waited for days until I forgot it ever happened and now... Now he or she-- whoever it is-- is telling me-- us! To have a flamboyant wedding." Lucy's eyes were on the plain written text that said 'have a flamboyant wedding'. She didn't even know what to say as she sat up straight. "Ho-- why-- how does this person know that we are getting married? I mean..." She leaned forward to drop her juice on the table as she continued. "We haven't told anyone except Carla and Joel and Richard Fuller. "It possibly couldn't be any of them that is sending us these texts... Could it?" Her brows arched subconsciously as she asked with a confused and worried expression on her face. "I don't think so but the lane of suspect will be them and their families. We don't know who is who here, Lucy." Andi responded with just the same amount of worry imprinted on
Minutes passed by like hours. The both of them stared at the response message, a cold chill ran down their spine. If things went awry, they would still get the answers they were playing the game for but at what risk? Lucy let out a gentle sigh. "I think..." She slightly rubbed her forehead. "I think we should do what A is asking." Andi turned to look at her. "Are you sure?" His brow arched slightly. She nodded her head. "Yeah, I think it just might work and I have an idea."***Taylor walked towards her bed and slowly and gently sat herself down. Justin wouldn't be home for a few more hours and she preferred being by herself anyway. For the next few seconds? Minutes? Hours? Taylor didn't know. But she sat there on her mind, losing her grip on reality and getting lost in a web of her own thoughts as she let her mind wander back to what had happened with Andi. 'How did he manage to get her to fall in love with him?' She asked herself. Obviously a woman with enough connections to be
A deep wine red dress clung tightly onto Lucy's body. Its strand for arms hung onto her shoulders and the hem of the dress was half way down her thigh. Her cleavage was revealed from the low square shaped front of the dress and her fair hands were shining. Her lengthy brown hair was parted in the middle and let loose to fall down her back and golden rectangular earrings dropped from her ear. Her collarbone was slightly outlined with make-up and her neck remained bare of any jewelry. Wrapping around her marriage finger was a diamond encrusted ring and on the index of her other hand was a thin gold ring. Dark red bracelets like her dress except a shade deeper wrapped around her hand twice like a thin tree branch and her nails were neatly trimmed and bare of any colors. Her thin eyes were outlined with a black liner and her cheeks were slightly pinked with blush. Her small lips bore a slightly deep fuchsia pink color. Andi crouched down on one knee in his deep blue green shade of su
Andi woke up with a tired yawn. He had spent the entire night going through files about his company and only got a few hours of sleep. He went to the kitchen to make himself a cup of coffee. Lucy was already there, making herself some warm tea to drink. She was putting on a small short and a white spaghetti arm singlet. Her bottom and thighs were revealed. Andi walked up to her and pressed himself against her while hugging her waist. “Good morning my love.” He muttered against her ear with a kiss. She smiled. “Morning. I thought to make you some tea to replenish your strength.” “How thoughtful of you. Thank you.” He kissed her cheek. “Did you sleep well?”“Next to you, I always sleep well.” She responded while turning the content of a cup with a small spoon. His hand trailed inside her singlet and caressed her soft small breast. “I'm glad to hear that. Likewise. Shouldn't you be resting up though?”“I'm fine. This tea will replenish the strength for all the sleep you missed out
Justin's brow arched, his smile disappearing into the blink of an eye. He scoffed a laugh and buried his hands in the depth of his pocket. “You would like to call it quits after two months into the marriage? Months? Not years honey, months!” “Do you think I want to?” She asked him. “Oh so this is my fault?” He took a hand out of his pocket and pressed it on his chest as he asked her. “Yes, Justin!” She angrily responded. “You had sex with my biological sister!” She pointed at Mable as she lamented. “You told her you love her!”“She is a tool. That's all she is.” He plainly responded. “Oh, you mean a tool just like me?” Her brow arched. “Yeah, I'm tired of all these tools you keep talking about. I will no longer be your tool, Justin.” She stated firmly. “Oh trust me, you won't. For the next nine months at least. Sorry you're too months gone already so for the next seven months.” He walked towards the bed with one hand in his pocket as he talked. “What are you talking about?” Her
Taylor's eyes shone with surprise and shame. She wanted to teach her sister a lesson for messing with her in such a terrible way but Justin decided to disgrace her like that. “Are you calm now?” He asked her with an arched brow. “Do you need another one?”She stared confusedly at him. “What is the meaning of this? Justin, what is the meaning of this?! For other reasons, you can hit me, but not for this.” “Taylor, you're pregnant.” She squinted. “That I already know, why are you telling me?” Her brow subconsciously arched. Mable's jaw dropped. *You're pregnant?!”Both Taylor and Justin ignored her like she wasn't standing there. Justin continued. “What do you expect me to do? Have sex with you while you're carrying my baby? What if something happens to the baby?” “Justin,” Taylor scoffed a laugh. “I am pregnant, I am not dying! Besides, a pregnant woman needs to have sex too! It helps delivery become a little easier.”“You could get hurt!” He lashed out and she flinched at the ab
Justin and Mable flinched apart at the sound of her scream but rather than looking apologetic, Justin looked angry and Mable had a look on her face that said she didn't care. "J--J--Ju--Justin--""What are you doing here?!" Justin snapped at her. "Why the hell are you here?""Wha--I--" she stuttered. Her emotions were worse than a train wreck, she didn't even understand how she was feeling. Justin climbed off the bed and pushed her out of the room. "Get out! Get out!! You are ruining my mood by acting like a fool! How dare you interrupt my orgasm?!" "But... Justin!" Before she could talk, he slammed the door in her face and locked the door. "Come here baby!" She heard her sister exclaim. "Drive me crazy with your mad skills." She heard Justin's evil chuckle and almost immediately, they began moaning and screaming out of explicit pleasure. Tears poured down Taylor's face where she stood. She struggled with the door but it wouldn't budge. "Justin, please stop! Justin please!" "O
They had said goodbye to Joel and Ryan after Pearl forced them to stay in time for dinner. She had prepared one of her delicious meals and they all enjoyed the food together. Andi was sitting in his study, a pair of reading glasses hung on top of his nose and his eyes were fixed on the papers in his hand. He had changed into something to sooth the cool night. A grey T-shirt and a baggy ash colored pants. His hair was a messy curls in a handsome way. A hand touched his shoulder and he looked to see Lucy standing behind him. She was putting on a bogus white top and white underwear. A smile touched her face as he looked up at her. He touched her hand with his and squeezed it softly. "Why aren't you asleep?" He asked her with his eyes returned to the paper in his hand."I could ask you the same." She walked over to a chair opposite his and sat down. "Everything okay?""Yeah, just going over some things..." He sat up straight and the paper file in his hand dropped to the table. "Hey, w
Andi heaved a sigh as he took off his suit jacket. The day had given him no break or proper rest and all he wanted to do was fall into his bed and sleep till the next day's afternoon but he couldn't because Joel along side Ryan were both waiting in the living room. He heaved another sigh as his fingers ran through his hair before walking out of his master bedroom and joining the two. "Uncle! Bro! Thank you for coming to see me so late in the night." He smirked as he spoke."Ha ha ha," Joel faked a laugh. "I know you are displeased that we are ruining your night with your wife but still, we would have left ages ago if you hadn't left us to do your billionaire people only interview." Andi rolled his eyes and relaxed into his seat. "Ha! Nice one. I just wanted to sort some things and you know, do it for my fiancée." Lucy walked in just then, still in her tight mini dress and high heels. A tray sat on top of her hand and standing on it was a bottle of whiskey and three serving glasse
Staring at their large TV, Taylor found herself wishing she could walk through screens. All she found herself thinking was 'he needs a hug right now and I should be there to give him one'She didn't care if it killed her to think that but if she could do it, she would. Not caring what Justin would do to her later. Was that part of the punishment Carla was talking about? She thought back to a time where something business related got Andi angry and upset. After expressing his anger, he just sat in his seat with a cold expression just like the one he had on TV. She still pretended to care then or did she really care?She had walked up to him and wrapped her arms around him like a baby and placed his head on her chest. Gently, she patted his back until he was feeling better. It was unexpected for him and even she didn't know why she had done it then but that very day, he stared into her eyes with so much affection. His lips curved into a smile and he stared into her eyes and he looked
"When I started working for the Emerson family, I felt so honored that I thought I would explode with honor." Lucy started. "Then one day, Mr Kaleb Emerson introduced me to his family. His wife, Mrs Pearl Emerson, was and still is an angel in a human body. She was so nice to me. And then I saw his handsome young man with a slightly stern countenance. I would be lying if I said I wasn't smitten."Cameron chuckled. "I think if we are all being honest, Mr Andi Emerson has the looks no other man on this earth possesses. He is too handsome."Andi only chuckled softly in response. Lucy continued. "He shook my hand and told me to feel at home and then he left for school. We were both so young then. Years went by and we got to know each other better. I had fallen for him then and after so many years, when I thought about confessing my feelings to him-- whatever his response would have been-- my mother introduced me to a sweet man and he had been introduced to the Simmons for an arranged marr
