Declan had not bothered to persuade Patricia of her decisions. She had finally decided that if she wanted to be stupid, then there was nothing anyone could do about it.He had already made up his mind that he would not be extending a helping hand to her anymore if she eventually landed herself in a mess this time.He was glad about the decision he had made for everyone. Even though his house now resembled an exquisite dormitory, he did not mind being so kind as long as everyone was safe.He was now in the penthouse with Samantha, and they had all the alone time they needed, shut out from the other occupants of the house.Security was at its peak. He had employed more security and even hired a number of them, s
Georgina looked more mature than the last time Declan set his eyes on her. He still disliked her and would not pretend that he was happy to see her.Part of it was still because of the guilt that she was the one whom his wife, Samantha, had asked to sleep with so they could birth a child.Another part was that he knew that she had a stupid crush on him which he was not willing to entertain, not when he had a beautiful wife like Samantha.Gina's face broke into a big smile when she saw them. Declan did not smile.He only wished that Samantha had given him a heads-up about her arrival.Samantha seemed elated to see her and went ahead and embraced
Hannah was excited. It was one of those days of the week on which she would be spending the night at Kennedy's house.The best part of it was that he had arranged for dinner. It was difficult to get Kennedy into the dinner date kind of vibe because of his busy schedule.She liked how much they had evolved in their relationship. For the first time after a long time, she was in a happy place.She was beginning to understand that money was not the only form of security.Being with someone that loved her so much was enough.She had had enough heartbreaks for a lifetime and Kennedy seemed like a breath of fresh air. Everyone in their hospital already
Kennedy soon appeared from the bathroom and sat back down in his seat."You gave me a hard time in there, and I should have taken you to the bathroom with me," he said, but Hannah did not say a word.When he looked at her, there was an annoyed scowl on her face. She was heavily pissed at him, and he noticed."Did anything happen in my absence?" He asked her. She did not say anything. She had managed to put down his phone and return it where he had left it before she came in.A myriad of disturbing thoughts flooded her mind, and she thought that she and Kennedy were probably shams.She thought that it was all about her protection and that h
Georgina took a final look at the parcel that she had put together for Samantha. She had told her that it was her anniversary with her husband today, and she wanted to surprise them.She knew that Declan might not be welcoming of her idea to give them a gift, but she did not mind. She was focused on being their surrogate this time and getting paid for what she did. She liked Declan from the first day she saw him. He was tall, handsome, and rich. It was not in those physical attributes that her affection for him had sprung up. There was a tenderness that was associated with him. It showed in the way he spoke to her and was concerned about her. She thought that Samantha did not know what she had on a platter. He was a dream man, one many ladies would only fantasize about. His affection for his wife did not dwindle, even when he knew that she was never going to bear him a child. It was what she wanted out of a man, and that was why she was so focused on having Declan to herself.
Georgina turned sharply around to see who the intruder was. If it were Andrew, she would probably know what to say to him, even though she was in a messy situation.But Daniel was unpredictable. She wondered how he had gotten inside in the first place. Then she remembered the unlocked door that she had used as well.She had forgotten to close it and he probably went through it. What she could not fathom was why he was here as well.She knew about his history with his brother, how they detested each other so much that it seemed like there was never going to be a space where they would coexist with each other.She stood there, looking up at him, but Daniel was more focused on the action outside. He h
Hannah had been held spellbound by Kennedy's confession. A lot of things that he did had not sat well with her since the first day they met.All he did was try to give her the benefit of the doubt, and here she was, hearing his confession of a child after months of dating.She thought that he intended to harm her, and she had been a bit skeptical. All the while, it had been another woman."So, you were seeing someone else?" She asked him. He was silent for a while, and she scoffed at how ignorant she had been all the while.She could not believe that she had let her guard down one more time and had a man do this to her again."
Declan came up from the office in a hurry. He had an impromptu meeting in two hours with the board that he had not fully prepared for.These were the days that he missed Micheal. He had gone for his annual leave, leaving Declan at the mercy of his horrible secretary, who could barely put things together like he wanted.It was probably because Micheal had worked with him the longest. His secretary was good at her job, but he had his specifications that only his assistant, Micheal, knew about.He was supposed to put together some files that he would be needing for the meeting, and he had forgotten them in his study.Samantha was not helping matters as well. She suddenly spent most of her mornings wit
