I arrived in front of my new residence.
It was a low bungalow house that was rented. It was a three-bedroom house. It was huge, but I liked it since it was at a throw-away price.
The location was excellent and scenic. The security was also good. It was not far from the main road and easy to access transportation. I liked the place the most because of its beautiful scenic appearance and the green trees that surrounded the area.
Swinging the gates’ key in my hand, I walked to the hard black gate and opened the mini gate. I entered the compound and locked the gate behind me.
The green planted grass at the right side of the compound made my heart quiver in satisfaction. There was a made sitting area on that section with three relaxing chairs and a table. There was also a colossal umbrella fixed permanently on the place to keep the sun and rain away. It looked awesome
The next day, hunger woke me up. I kept on tossing and turning throughout the night. I took a quick shower and called for a taxi. I went foodstuff shopping, but first, I had to grab breakfast at a restaurant around the city.Sitting at a window, I remembered how I met James Watson. Shaking my head, I looked outside the window. I felt lonely and empty. I could see couples passing by the huge clear glass window laughing, smiling, and looking lovely at each other. The scene made me miss him even more.I know it was an impromptu decision, but I could not handle the pressure. I thought James would’ve fought harder for the relationship, but that was just my expectation. I expected him to change and be someone I dreamt of. Someone that fit my prince charming, but it was not the caseI knew he would not change no matter what I did. It was for the best to let it go. His family didn’t want me. They didn’t even get the chance to see me, and they already b
I found out a lot from the guy. His name is Peter.He had recently been sacked from his job, and it became hard to provide for his girlfriend. She left him for another man who had more money.I asked myself so many questions after hearing his story.Love had been tainted. Here I am, looking for true love with no strings attached, and someone else throws it just like that. It's a pity.Well. Peter knew his way around West City like the palm of his hand. He took me to the center of the City. Two tall buildings in the middle faced each other like giants. The designs were different, but they looked majestic."Here we are." He said, standing before one of the tall buildings holding his waist in excitement"What? This place?" I asked in amazement. The place looked expensive, but I didn't care. Well, it was not like I could not afford the place. The amount of money in my account could help me start my business and manage it from my pocket for a who
Two years down the line. The business had significantly picked and become a household name for those intending to have their events. Peter had been of great help. Most of the things he handled. I had to just go to the venue and confirm. Sometimes I didn't even need to go at all. My office was well decorated and designed courtesy of Peter. His full name was Peter Dawn. I asked him many times if he was related to the prominent Dawn family in city D, but he said no. I had a hunch he was hiding something, but I could not tap into it. For the two years that we have worked together, we employed the best team ever. The efficiency of the work done by the team has always been superb. I planned to take my team out for dinner one of the weekends. At least to bod more and show them appreciation. Getting out of work one evening, my dad called me, as he does almost every evening. "Darling d
James' point of viewLife has not been easy since I broke up with Jane. Oh, Jane, I love that girl. Love had never been part of my vocabulary.Meeting that girl had been a blessing in disguise. For years I had nothing that moved me. Changing women-like clothes had been part of my life.I remembered the day I met Jane Smith. It was such a perfect day for me. I had an argument with dad about the company. I didn't want anything to do with the family business. Especially when so many people in the family were fighting about it. Living my life as a playboy saved me lots of assassination attempts.My reputation as a playboy far surpassed any other as people knew.My family was a large family with extended members all interested in family businesses.My mother insisted I marry from a political family. I didn't want any of that. I was not ready for marriage. Looking at how my parents behaved with each other, I didn't want to be in such a home. I cra
That scene was one I never would forget in my life. The look on her face. The disappointment. The guilt. I saw it all in her eyes.I called her, trying to explain, but it seemed I was making the whole thing worse.No amount of words could explain what I did. I had no excuse. She totally ignored me. I feared she would leave me. I felt guilty that I couldn't imagine life without her. The past six months have been amazing for me. My life changed, and I saw life from a different angle. I reason to live and work hard. I didn't want to depend on my family's fortune.I had begun working with my dad while building my own connections in the business world. I didn't want to have things that would drag her down. I know my family. They are wealth-driven.She walked to the kitchen, totally ignoring my presence. I tried to speak, but words could not come out of my words.She was such a lively and humble woman that you would not find in the hypocritical world we
Reaching his room, he locked it from inside and slammed to bed. He intended to call Jane, but he felt something wrong with him. From the moment he was arguing with his parents, he felt his body hot. The sensation kept on rising until he could not take it.At that moment, he heard someone knock at the door.He walked to the door thinking it was his parents, but the shameless Loli was standing half-naked at the door.“What do you want?”“Please, James, Don’t chase me away. Hear me out” Loli wore a grieved face when she spoke. Having grown up with her, I could not be hard on her.“Come in. Be fast” she entered the room but touched his hand by mistake. His body vibrated from the touch.His entire body felt the need. He felt her touch give him the cold feeling he needed. Thinking of the strange situation and the way Loli had worn her clothes and her coming to him at the right moment“What hav
I woke in the morning to find Peter had prepared breakfast and was gone. I was surprised but happy about the gesture. Peter has been the best over the two years that we worked together. He cared for me like his sister, but sometimes I find the gesture too suggestive.I didn't feel like going to work that day, but I had to. I got a big client in West City that needed our services on a big event. I read it as an engagement party in the next two weeks. I didn't want to go into too many details and would leave such things to Peter.Peter was good at that. I only needed to sit in my office and attend a part of the preparation, and that was it? Today I just felt like sleeping in.I felt like not working. I had no motivation to work hard. I could not sleep the previous night thinking about James.Peter called me around 10:00am. I had gone back inside to nap and ended up sleeping for the next three hours."Hello""Good morning, boss?" Peter gr
"Let me introduce myself. I am Mrs. Watson from city S. We have never met but am sure you know who I am." She said, scrutinizing me. I was not surprised at all. It could not have been any other woman making trouble for her accompanied by Loli Roland."What can I do for you, Mrs. Watson?" She looked surprised when I didn't barge due to her introduction"I want to make things clear. I know you and James had a thing in the past, but things are different now. He and Loli are going to get married soon. Stay away from him and don't think of getting into my family" I frowned and looked at her in confusion."Madam. I don't know what you are talking about. Your son and I are not together for a very long time, and I don't care what he does with his life. I don't know where all this is coming from. I have a lot of things to do. If you may excuse me, go and sort out your things out of my life." I said, gesturing for
