For more than two hours, the couples sat at the dining table without a word to each other. Each was waiting for the first to kick start the conversation.

James was waiting for the perfect time to present the divorce papers to her. Before making his way into the house earlier, he had signed his part of the divorce leaving her spot for her.

Meanwhile, Sarah was glad that he had forgiven her and so she vowed not to return to her mistakes. She was grateful he had given her the opportunity to start all over.

"Excuse me." She said, breaking the ominous silence. James, thinking she wanted to talk about their relationship, began to shift uneasily in his seat.

"Let me take the foodstuffs to the kitchen." She said and almost immediately, James' raging nerves became calm.

The foodstuffs James had gotten were more than enough for her. If she used it wisely, she would be able to live on them for three months and so there was no need to visit the supermarkets.

A lone tear escaped her ey

    Liam had just returned from work that evening. After freshening up and having a quick dinner he had gotten on his way back from work, he decided to relax with his TV. The first two shows were short-lived so he had to start looking for new shows. It was during his search that he stumbled on James' press conference. At first, he thought it was his replica but on closer look, at his voice, and his movement, he realized it was really James. He felt bad about the whole thing. He had trusted him only for him to do otherwise. "I won't call him. I'll pretend as if I didn't see this." He said to himself, turning off his TV. He had lost interest. For the rest of the evening, Liam couldn't think of anything else apart from James' broken home. He never wished for him to be in his shoes. His divorce wasn't a result of unfaithfulness; rather, it was his wife who instigated it. She felt their marriage was boring because of a lack of communication. She spoke to him several times about i

    The more he got criticized for the press conference, the more frustrated he became. James began to regret his action, wishing he had handled it more maturely. He began to receive emails from different people he had no idea of their existence. Because of this, he had no choice but to temporarily deactivate all his social media accounts. To make matters worse, Dexx sent him a text to return to duty. His absence was putting a hold on the company's progress. When he got the text, he sought an audience with Liam. He dared not venture out of the hotel because if he was spotted, he would be under attack from the journalists who were looking around for him. Liam, although he was annoyed with his decision, honored his invitation. Without beating about the bush, James went straight to his reason for calling him over. Liam listened attentively, and at the end, he said, "You should be lucky they didn't fire you. It means you aren't in their bad books." "So what are you saying?" He as

    "Are you thinking like me?" One of the numerous journalists who had been frequenting Sarah's mansion ground asked his colleague. "Why should I be thinking like you?" His colleague retorted. He was frustrated because of Sarah's obstinance. They all wanted her to come out to say a word or two to add to their daily reports but since she didn't want to budge, they were all frustrated. "Nowadays, celebrities do a lot of things to have more fame." "I don't get what you are saying?" He replied, raising his brow at him. "For real. You are in the industry yet you don't know what is happening around you. All these celebrities can be very funny. We all know that." Sighing, his colleague ran his fingers through his hair, after adjusting, he said, "I'm not interested in this conversation. You can find someone else to speak with." Shamefaced, he left and then went to the other side of the mansion. He was fiddling with his fingers when another of his colleagues, Timmy, walked up to hi

    The fact that Fred wasn't picking up didn't mean he wasn't seeing her calls. He was just skeptical to do so because it was one of the things he hated: being a part of the drama that was going to trend online. Also, he didn't want to have issues with James who had asked him to stay off his family while he was processing his divorce papers. In fact, ever since the divorce, they haven't spoken. He had no idea where he was, nor what he was up to. The evening of the second day of Sarah's persistent call, he had just returned from work when his wife accosted him. With her hands across her chest, she walked up to him with a large frown. Wondering what he had done wrong, he slowly took off his suit, not taking his eyes off her even for a moment. "Tell me, is everything alright?" He asked when she didn't say anything after a while. "Who is Sarah? She has been calling for days now and whenever I'm around, you don't pick up her calls." "I don't even pick up her calls even when you are

    "There is nothing here Sarah," Fred said, throwing his head backward in agony. Sarah was lost on what to do and say. This wasn't what she bargained for. What she wanted was for Fred to sue the journalist and then she would be fine but to her disdain, it was something else. "This wasn't the plan." She muttered but Fred heard her alright. He didn't ask her what she said immediately until a few minutes later. "So what was the plan?" "Sue the journalist of course." She scoffed, darting her eyes around the living room. Again, Fred was mute for a while. He was finding it hard to comprehend why she was bent on suing the journalists. "Are you going to do that for me?" She asked with a tone of urgency. "I won't but I can get you a lawyer to do that." He smirked. Sarah's lips broke into a smile. She was glad that he finally agreed to help her after bringing up a contrary suggestion. "So when are you…" "Come off it Sarah. Suing them would bring nothing but more woes to your fee

    Dexx had been without a CEO for three months now. Mr Brooks, annoyed with James' sudden resignation, vowed not to offer the position back to him even if he returned crawling for a job.

He was searching for a suitable person to offer the job to but he couldn't find any. "Father," Stella called joining him on the dining table. He raised his face for a moment only to bury it back into his phone. "Still on the CEO's issue?" She asked and got a nod of affirmation. Rolling her eyes, she rubbed her sweaty palms against her skinny jeans. She had a request to make but since her father was clearly not in the mood for other things apart from his company, she was skeptical. "Breakfast is ready." The caterer said, startling both father and daughter. "I'm so sorry." He apologized and then returned to th

    "Raymond," Mayor called, causing him to snap his head upwards. He had been going through some files since he arrived at work a few hours ago. "Yes?" "Have you closed the records of the Patterson's?" "Not yet.""Do that quickly. Mr. Brooks needs their records."Raymond nodded then rose. Dangling his pen, he went to the cabinet to fetch the file tagged 'employee record.' Minutes later, he stamped the file on Mayor's desk. "I need to get coffee." He said then stepped out of the office. On his way out, he crossed paths with Rashford who was making his way to the office. He greeted him but got no response, with a shrug, he decided to continue his walk but he pulled him back. "What?" He asked, wriggling his hand away from his tight grip."I need to see you." He said. "My boss is there. You can meet him." Raymond replied. He had been able to wriggle his hand from his grip. "Whenever you are ready, I will come around." He smirked and after a stare-down, he stormed away. For a moment,

    Xavier was as surprised as Raymond. If anything, he wasn't expecting Raymond to be a part of Dexx when he had his company. Pursing his lips, he turned to his PA. "What department does Raymond belong to?" He whispered. "HR assistant manager." The PA replied, eliciting nods from him. "Did you know him before now?" "Yes, the scandal of course. He has a good look, no wonder the CEO's wife wanted him." He muttered, flicking his fingers. Once more, he turned around only to see Raymond still staring at him. He was about to make signs to him that he was sighted but Mayor decided to interrupt at this point. "What are you staring at? Let's go." Mayor snapped. He had walked out of the room only to turn around to see an empty hallway. "Sorry. I got carried away." He muttered. Wiping his brow, he followed Mayor out of the office trying to remember where he had seen Xavier. Getting home that evening, Julia, who had been awaiting him since she returned from school, jumped in front of him wit

The moment Raymond heard Mrs. Brooks' voice, he froze against the chair he was occupying. His hands immediately became sweaty as he braced himself up to face her. Niko and Adam looked at him in pity. They knew the history between Raymond and Julia's parents even if it seems they had rectified their differences and they didn't want to interfere.Immediately Julia's parents entered the room, Raymond stood up from his seat while they looked at him with disdain before they bypassed him and went straight to Julia who was still unconscious but was now stable. "Can you see what you've done, you see. I warned Julia not to get involved with a despicable person like you but she was swoon by your charms to listen to me.

    Meanwhile, Julia was holding her head in pain, she screamed in sheer horror as she saw the blood streaming down her face, staining her clothes in the process. The noise coming from all corners made her so uncomfortable coupled with the pains she was facing. "What has Dina done to me, my head." She was still screaming when she felt Raymond's body against hers. Lifting her up, he held her tight and then placed her down on the floor."Listen to me Jul, nothing is going to happen to you, okay, I can't believe Dina would go this far.” He said, checking her pulse. Tearing his shirt, he began to press it against her wound. It didn't take long before the cloth became crimson red. "It hurts Raymond, it hurts." Julia screamed as tears continued streaming down her eyes as she lay helpless in Raymond's arms. He has never been in this kind of situation before and so, he was so confused."Please Julia wake up, you can't die on me please." Raymond whispered in her ears as tears brimmed in his ey

Without being told, she knew a lot of eyes were staring at them and because of this, she couldn't raise her head and look back at them. “If only Raymond had relieved her of her job when we asked him to, this wouldn't have happened.” She muttered, biting her lips in anger. “Hello sissy, I told you I'm going to get you out of the way so I can have Raymond to myself.

While Raymond was using their hassle to keep himself from zoning out, at the same time, he was looking at the door as he awaited Julia's arrival.

It's as if the tailor had you in mind when he was making the dress.” He said, accompanying it with a wink whilst she blushed shyly. After picking a few more things, the couple's retired home for the night. Raymond knew better not to tell her anything concerning Dina's plan.

    Pursing her lips, Ava tried to forget about the conversation she had with Dina but couldn't. Meanwhile, Dina was busy eating merrily as she continued divulging more information to her. “Please stop it already, you are making me feel nervous.” Ava snapped. “What? Are you angry because I defeated you in our little game?” She yelled back at her, rolling her eyes to the back of her head. “That's not the point here.”“Then what is it? Speak now or forever remain silent.” She snapped, cutting a large chunk of her meat. “They are a couple, we shouldn't make things tough for them.” Laughing, Dina said, “Couples my foot. Also, I want you to clear that motion from your head. We aren't a team or anything. We decided to play a game and I beat you to it.”“I know I lost but come to think of it, you are taking this thing too far.

Thanks to the spyware installed unknowingly to them on their phones.” He said, gritting his teeth and seething with anger at the same time. For the next few minutes only Niko and Julia talked. Raymond and Adam on the other hand are just watching as they listen to their conversation. “So who's the culprit now?” Adam asked with a firm voice, hitting the butt of his pen against the table. “Dina of course.” Niko replied and immediately Julia slumped on her seat, all the while she was thinking Dina was the innocent one. The previous day, she even went ahead to share lunch with her, promising to help her find someone else. “This is crazy.” She said, shaking her head as she bit her bottom lips. “If you want, I can sho
