“Cephas, your phone is ringing.” Tyla yelled from the room. He had to excuse himself to join a business conference online. Though he was on break at work, he was helping her out with the jewelry store like it was his main business.It has been three days since she broke her arm from the serious beating. She would be lying if she said that the berating was too mild. Her mom was a meat seller who did not hesitate to give her a serious berating whenever she was in the wrong.The guys at the store’s location literally assaulted her, more than beating. If their boss, who was also the project manager, didn't ask them to halt, she would have suffered a brain injury or even died on the spot.After she got discharged, she sent a message to the company that she would not be coming for a while, she asked Grey, who was the most senior officer at her company to oversee the company affairs in her absence.She thought of contacting her mom whose pastries taste almost the same as hers to come help he
Hannah walked towards her best friend Violet and tapped her on the shoulder. “What’s good? Did you wait so long?” She pulled in for a hug and gave her a light push away from her so they could talk.“No, I just got here. I was pretty hooked up on something when you called so I didn’t come immediately.” Violet replied, reminiscing the mind-blowing sex she had with Abraham before she came to the grocery store.“Your mom’s stuff right? Have you been able to get somewhere, I have spoken to Kade about it and he has been so unresponsive about it. Besides, you haven’t been home in a while. Are you mad at him?”“No, I am not. Don’t bother Kade about the assistance anymore. I have figured it out and everything should be figured out soon as possible.” Violet responded with confidence. The sex with Abrham and his reaction after made her so sure that he was going to offer them some help.“How did you find a solution? Did Cephas say he was going to speak to his boss for you?” Her best friend demand
61“Good evening officer,” Ruth said. “I am Mrs Steel-Walter, his legal mother,” She touched his shoulder, trying not to lose her temper.Cephas had called his sister to inform her that he got arrested but she had gone on a business trip with their father which left him the option of asking his stepmom to come and bail him.As much as he hated to invo;vce Ruth in his shut, he was too desperate to go back home because Tyla was waiting for him. She literally had no help and the police there were not allowing him to make personal calls, he would have asked Anta to go to his home to assist her. “Good evening ma’am, I am the detective in charge of your son’s case.” The police typed something into this computer then he spoke again. “He caused some damages in the town’s grocery store”He handed some pictures to Ruth, clicking his teeth. “He could be charged to jail and fined for damages, depending on the judge.” The policeman read from his computer. “I didn’t do it.” Cephas said quietly
“Hi.” Cephas said quietly, he brought the pack of pads out from his clothes. “I am sorry for coming late, I just got into some issues and….”“It is fine, Cephas. I know how embarrassing it could have been for you to go into the store and get it. Most guys won’t even buy the right one.” She chuckled , but her facial expression showed how terribly uncomfortable she was.“I’m sorry regardless. I made you wait. Do you need anything else? I can cook anything for you or buy anything.”“I actually tried making myself some porridge but I couldn’t turn the gas stove on and my clothes too. I don’t want to ruin yours with my silly menstrual blood.”“I’m okay with that though. I will ask my assistant to bring some clothes and underwear for you. Is that okay?”“Yes, Cephas. Thank you so much. I don’t want to end up spoiling your clothes because my flow during menstruation is usually heavy. I hope you are not cringing out or getting uncomfortable from what I’m saying?” She chuckled awkwardly after
Anta had hired some hairdresser and makeup artists to give Tyla a makeover on her boss’ request. She had spent all day running errands for her since her boss was handling a few office matters with Jose.Her job was the most exciting thing in her life aside from the man that she loved the most. to work alongside him made this even better for her. Her boss was so kind to her and even paid them for every service they offer.She could say her life and Jose’s life has never been the same since Mr Walter employed them as interns and trained them to be his son’s assistants.Mr Walter had told them that if they felt that they owed him a debt for assisting them, they should repay it by being loyal to only his son, Cephas. He didn’t need their loyalty and they were not obligated to share his son’s personal information with them under any circumstances “Mr Cephas Walter is here, ma’am. Is there anything you want me to assist you with?: Maybe retry your makeup, if you even want to change your d
“That’s my mom.” Tyla exclaimed. “I can recognize her back view from anywhere.” She added, giggling like a child then she raced towards her mom’s seat.“Careful, you might trip.’ Cephas yelled after her, This was the first time he was seeing this side of her. Tyla had been free with him in the past and all the times they have been together.This was the first time she was acting like she was a child. She embraced her mom who already stood up in a breath crushing hug. “Mom,” She whined. Cephas chuckled at the way Tyla was using her hands freely. Her hand was held up.“What was wrong with you? Why did you not go to the office and where is your date?” Her mom asked, looking around, Cephas moved closer to them.He was too stunned when he saw her mom. “Ma’am?”“Cephas? That was you?” The woman asked in surprise. Never in the world would she have imagined that her daughter was going to end dating Cephas Walter.“Yes, ma'am,” he replied. The woman who used to sell quality beef to him at ch
Tyla’s mom refused the ride he had offered them which made him a little uncomfortable. She knew him so well in their neighborhood. Everyone called him a puppet husband who did nothing but listen to his wife and attend to her every request.Though Tyla’s mom never did that to his face, she had always been kind to him. He saw where Tyla had gotten her kind traits from. Even when his coworkers were bullying him she was the only one that ever showed him kindness.When he was very broke only Tyla and her mom were the only nice ones to him, the security was against the poor. Even fellow poor men would treat each other with disdain and suck up to wealthy people.He had learned so many things while he was poor. A black car seemed to be on Cephas’ tail.Though he was thinking about Tyla’s mom’s reaction and if she possibly didn’t want her daughter to have anything to do with him because he was a divorcee, he could not help but notice the black car behind him.He swerved so many times, switchi
“He is awake ma’am.” The doctor said into the phone, making Ruth jump in the seat, She was out doing her manicure and pedicure.“What? It’s only been two weeks since he had been in coma. How come he is awake?” She whispered into the phone so people around her could not hear.“You sound like you are not excited to hear that he is awake. Didn’t miss your son, ma’am?” The doctor asked.“No, that is not it. I am excited of course. Is there anyone with him?”“Yes, his assistants came over today and they gave his girlfriend a pass to see him.”“He has a girlfriend?” Ruth asked in surprise.“Yes, but there is little problem. He can't seem to recognize her. He is suffering from memory loss and he is not able to remember anyone from the past three months or any events that took place.” the door explained.“Oh my goodness,” I would be on my way to the hospital ight now. She said before hanging up. A wicked smile crept on her face. A memory loss isn’t that bad. It wouldn't stop me from accomp
