“What are you doing?” Cephas got up from his seat, turning till he was face to face with his stepmom.“Was she following me?” He asked in his mind and groaned, he only fixed the dinner at Gojo foods, hoping that his soon to be wife would run into them there and cancel their wedding but his step mom had come instead.“What does it look like, Ceph? I am scolding her for hanging out with an engaged man.” Ruth retorted at her, “Are you not being brazen and reckless? Having a meal with a woman at your in-laws’ restaurant.”Here she goes again, acting like she really cared about him.

She had thought that Tyla was intimidated by her that was why she hadn’t spoken a word but Ruth realized that Tyla might not be calm like she thought.“Yes, Mrs Steel-Walter, you demand some respect but you have done nothing but say disrespectful words to me since you got here.” She answered.“I can say whatever I want to anyone, who are you to tell me that I am disrespecting you? Just because you are dressed in white, doesn’t mean you deserve my respect.” Ruth said.“This is different from what I have heard about you.”“What did a peasant like you hear about me and how is it supposed to affect me?”"Well, I should tell you, words have it that you are well-known for your kind words and accommodating heart, now that I have met you, I see they are all lies. The media knows nothing about you.”“That is disappointing for people like me that look up to you, we have always imagined how great you would be when

“What did you do to that girl?” His father demanded from him as soon as they entered his study.“I didn’t do anything to her father,” he retorted. “Where is your accusation coming from? Some girl just dumped me at the altar but you are blaming me for that? How does that have to do with me?”“You can fool anyone in the world, Cephas but not me. I know about every single move you take without moving an inch from my house.”“So? How does that explain that the young lady called off the wedding herself?”“Since you want proof, I will give them to you.” his father replied to him and dropped some photos on the table. Cephas picked them up and canceled the contents.Someone had taken pictures of him and Leah at the restaurant, “Shit,” he cursed beneath his breath then he quickly thought of an excuse to give his father.“All I see is a harmless couple and husband and wife to be, having lunch in a restaurant, did you see something else?” He showed the picture to his father. “We even looked cute

She was a very hardworking woman and boss that never pushed her duties to her subordinates. He opened her office and she looked at him. “Cephas,” She called surprisingly and she got up from seat then she walked up to him. “Are you okay?” She pulled him in for a hug. “I saw your face during the wedding when your supposed bride said she was in love with someone else.” “I am fine, Tyla,” He replied to her awkwardly and pulled away from the hug. He had not expected to receive a warm embrace from her, even as he stood some meters away from her, her strawberry scent was still strong like she was still in his arms.
