“Can I choose not to answer? Said Ava.“Sorry if you feel offended. I didn’t mean to hurt you, I was only curious to know who is dating such a beautiful like you .Christian apologize to her.“Its nothing, I don’t have a boyfriend.Alaric was suddenly overjoy in his heart. Steve gave Alaric a thump assuring him to move faster.They all said nothing. The temperature suddenly drop and they all kept quiet. When they were done eating, The three friends went home. Alaric was driving Ava home, he asked him a question."Ava why don’t you have a boyfriend, you such a beautiful and brave woman.”“Well I don’t have time to date, and men of today are very weak, I want strong man who would protect my kids.” Said Ava.“Why not try me?”“And what about your baby mama?”“She is nothing to me, she used despicable means to get my seed into her stomach. I don’t love her. Now back to my question, can we try each other?”“ Let me think about it, I will give you answer.” They kept silent and he drove the
Emily looked at Alaric with a congealed gaze, she wanted to say something, however because there was a few people around her, she restrained herself and in the blink of an eye a dignified and bright smile formed on her face again, “it doesn't matter I can wait for you no matter how late you work.”Emily realized he wasn’t giving her face so she said softly, “even though my father did not attend this conversion, he happen to come to South America for examination today you can also meet him, he has a huge project that will benefit both of you.” she clenched her fist and left in disappointment and shame.Ava looked at Alaric and saw that his face was emotionless. She didn't know if he was planning to meet Emily or not. What is wrong with me? Why did I rushed to him when I saw him with a lady? I guess I have fallen for him as Randybel said. Maybe I should give him a chance.The time for rest was over . Ava quickly sat beside Alaric, this time her personal assistance has travel to t
Pick me up, pick me up, Ava’s phone was ringing. Shit who is that, Alaric cursed the caller. “Hello.” “Ava where are you? “she heard Casper’s voice.“I’m going to drop Alaric to his house I will come home very soon.” Casper was furious to know she is with Alaric, he stood clutching the phone and clenched his fist. “Alaric that bastard is moving fast, he needs to do something.”After Ava hanged up, she came back to her senses. “Oh gosh what have I done? “ She murmured to herself and looked down at her boobs which was uncovered. She became very shy and her ears reddened. Alaric looked down and saw his little brother’s head up. He knew he couldn’t rush things else he will scare her away. It’s became an embarrassed moment and both were silent.Alaric was the first to break the silent. “For last week proposal, have you thought about it? Will give it a try to see if it’s going to work?”He asked her carefully. He didn’t want to make her angry.“Emmm I didn’t want to love, I have no one
“Ok I will do my best. Mandi stood up and stretch her hand towards him. “Happy cooperation, let’s fight for our love.”“Yes happy cooperation let’s fight for our love, Crispin shook her hands and raise the coffee high “to our love.” “To our love.” They toast to each other. Alaric and Ava were busy dining happily without knowing the crises coming towards them. Mandi stood at the entrance of where they were eating, not knowing whether to go in or just go home. She knew his temper and know Alaric will make her suffer if she goes in to cause trouble. She turn and went home.She needs to plan very well to make it look like a mere coincidence. She was a little bit confused on how to invite Alaric out. There is no way Alaric is going to spend time with her and Raphael. He doesn’t even allow her to come to his house not to talk of inviting him out. He always act cold towards her and doesn’t even give her the chance to get closer to him. She went back and forth in her room, thinking of a
Mandi bumped into Alaric. She grab his neck. “What are you doing,” he roared at her and instinctively loosen her grip on his neck. “Sorry I didn’t see you coming. I almost fell down, it wasn’t my intention, she feign innocently.“Next time when you are walking, take your eyes with you, he reprimanded her, took his handkerchief and wipe his neck in disgust. He threw away the handkerchief into the trash can.When Mandi saw what he has done, she became furious and she exhales deeply to calm her self down. She has always known Alaric hate her but she didn’t know it’s to this extend. Alaric's reaction just now tells her everything but she still chose to question him.“Why did you do that. I’m a human being not some kind of trash” she said with heartbroken.“ Well even a corpse is better than you. I’m sure you did it on purpose. Your sight always disgust me. If not for the child, I would have thrown you to the sea already. Know your limit and know your boundaries. Don’t try to cross my lim
“Really, you would love my children like your own? You don’t care about their background? Her eyes were filled with mixed emotions when she asked these questions. Alaric didn’t reply her anymore. Actions speak better than words. Words are like empty barrels if you do act accordingly. He needs to prove it with his actions. He hugged her tightly and caressed her back. He looked into her eyes and kissed her deeply. “Don’t worry, you are my queen and you will forever be my queen,” he assured her again and hugged her. He took her to his chair and help her sit down. He took his phone and called Fredrick. “Shut down the news, I don’t want to see this in five minutes time. Also terminate the contract that she has with Luis company. That should serve as a punishment for her and sue the company that first releases this news,” he said coldly. Alaric wanted to announce o the world that there was nothing going on between he and Mandi. But because of the child, he made a decision to take it slow
Luis took his phone and called Fredrick. “Tell your boss I have terminated the contract. He should send me the land of the papers so I would sign.” “Don’t worry Mr. Luis, I’m going to send it through your G***l. Rest assured.” “Ok, I will be waiting.” He hanged up and said, not bad the land is also a great money machine,” he grinned. Mandi stomped out of Luis office angrily. She was really furious. “ That idiot what does he take me for, he wants to sleep with me after terminating the contract. Does he think I’m his sex slave? Nonsense.” She drove the car in high speed and went straight to Alaric’s company. She didn’t greet the receptionist. She walked straight to Alaric’s office. Fredrick was coming out of the office he was done to deliver Luis message to Alaric.” Miss Mandi where do you think you are going?” “Of course I’m going to Alaric’s office.” “I’m sorry but my boss is busy. You can’t enter. Please go and come tomorrow,” “ have you informed your boss I have arrived? “ Y
Miss Mandi don’t force me to kill you with my own hands. I have kept quiet all this while because of my son but if you try my limit, I don’t mind killing you and your whole family. I don’t lack women, finding a step mother for Raphael is like killing an ant. Don’t overestimate your self and don’t think to highly of yourself, I don’t want to come and see you here,” he said sternly and left without looking his back.“A…a....laric at least hear me out, this time around she didn’t say it loudly, she said it in a soft tone that only she could hear. She rubbed her hands through her hair. She has really regretted her actions. But if not for me you wouldn’t be where you are. At least treat me better for making you who are you,” she thought to herself. But I don’t really get, what exactly did Mandi do to bring Alaric to this far.Sometimes we hurt the people who are poor, forgotten that nobody knows tomorrow. We should treat every body well, we don’t know whom we might need their help one day
