The balcony was quite big and there was no demarcation to specify her space and Simon's.She stepped outside the door staring admiringly at the marble tiled sparkly floor. Simon had a mini table and seats placed towards his side of the balcony and the beautiful Gmelina tree spread some of its branches up there giving it an extra shade and beauty. It was extremely beautiful, like something she has never seen before. Her mouth dropped open as she admired the space. She moved over to Simon's side, taking a seat under the Gmelina shade. The fresh burst of air shook her body, making her smile beautifully. "So, this is what Simon has been urging her to take part in all this while." She thought to herself.*****Back at Galvile, Simon dropped his phone on his mini dining table where he was seated with his laptop and phone. He couldn't hold back his excitement. He had just concluded his therapy session with Chadwick when Paige's call came in.At first he was scared and worried. He thought so
"The Tedsons are manipulating the financial income statement, indirectly reducing the total revenue of their investors while pretending to be upright." Simon explained."What the hell! How... how did you uncover such?""I have my ways." He said. "So, I'm putting a pause on any businesses I have with them for now, until we find out where this is coming from.""Okay." She replied. "Do let me know if you want us to take things a bit up the notch." "The Anna Kentley!!!""They don't call me that for nothing. Meanwhile let's not change the topic please. I saw her this morning, she wa....""Was she okay?" Simon interrupted her."Very okay. She looked happier and calmer than she did yesterday. She smiled all through breakfast and jogged with Emily this morning. I know there is only one thing that can cause such a glow and it must be a man's love. So, how are you both presently, are you good now? Anna asked."We are good." He replied curtly.She waited patiently for him to continue talking, bu
Before now, Timothy had warned Barnabas that if he spoke up or exposed the plan, that the people they were carrying the whole plan out for would hunt him down and kill him. Hence his reason for being so scared to reveal their plan."It was Mr. Timothy Boss, he reached out to me with the suggestion and I agreed. Anastasia couldn't have it as we needed her help but she turned us down, and he threatened to kill her if she spoke up. A few days later, we couldn't locate her again. We looked around and even checked her home but there was no sign of her. One day, Mr Timothy came back and announced that Anastasia was ill and she asked that her daughter help out in the kitchen while she recovered. I asked him about Anastasia's whereabouts and even explained to him that we couldn't locate her before then. I suspected that he might have a hand in her disappearance, but he vowed and swore to me that he didn't. He attributed it to the fact that she might have run away out of fear. I accepted his ex
Faith and Timothy watched them in silence, with Timothy praying that they take the bait and Faith contemplating if this was the best time to speak up and let Simon know that Timothy was setting them up for a kill. She watched as Simon went into silence standing still with his legs slightly parted. She turned to Barnabas but he had his eyes shut tightly still seated on the floor. This could be her only opportunity at staying alive. She thought to herself."Is the cook still alive?" She heard Simon ask Timothy."Yes." Timothy replied hurriedly. A side look from Simon at his guard got Timothy wailing in pain from more punches."Is my cook still alive T.i.m.o.t.h.y." Simon asked this time, extremely angry.Timothy looked up at his boss and fear gripped him. He knew instantly that his end was so near."No, no." He replied, groaning. "They killed her. But it wasn't my boss. They just told me that they will take care of her. They never said kill. They just said they will take care of her." T
Simon looked at her with a smirk. "We are just taking things one step at a time, Aunt B. It's nothing too serious." He replied."But she's with you now?" Bridget asked."That is what I'm saying, we're taking our time to explore. Hopefully things will fall into place soon ." He replied."Hmm," Bridget sighed. "I seriously can't wait to see her.""You won't have to wait for too long." He reassured her. We'll be at Creek island in no time." He said excitedly"I'm happy." Bridget suddenly said."Why?" Simon asked, trying to know."I'm happy that you are happy. I've always prayed for this." She told him. "Whoever she is, I pray she never lacks a thing in her whole life for making you this happy, I owe her all of my gratitude." She further added in a tearful voice with tears threatening to fall off her eye. Simon sighed deeply, stepped up to her and wrapped her up in a hug."You don't have to cry Aunt B. It's enough to know that we have each other, we are here for each other and I also have
"Have you called Tenor?" She asked him."I just texted him barely a minute ago. Do not worry, I told you there will always be parking space for us." He reassured her."Why did you ask Bruce to stay back and wait for Anna and her godson?" She asked, in her usual inquisitive nature."And here we go again." Simon started with a mild laughter. "Always inquisitive." He said."Oh well, I can't help it." Paige chuckled."Jack is Bruce's son." He replied."Bruce is married?" She asked surprised. "He was, but not anymore.""What happened?" Paige pushed further on."I really can't recall the whole detail. But, she left." He replied. "She has her reasons though. I'm not judging or blaming her unless I hear her own side of the story." He added."I never knew he had a son." She said looking at Simon who had his eyes glued to the road with a smile.He adjusted the steering wheel with one hand and with the other hand, he traced for Paige's fingers and when he found it, he entwined his with it and sl
"A kiss will suddenly replenish the money you invested into acquisition of lands?" Paige asked, looking at him."It will go a long way." Simon replied, holding her wrist."Maybe it's best if you remain broke then." She told him laughing. "My lips are soft and specially made.""You say it like it's a dessert. Gush!! The sound of that. Hearing it from you, it's sexy and soothing at the same time." Simon said."Simon Kentley," she called. "Are we eating or not?" Paige asked, smiling."We are eating mi lady. Let's eat please." He replied, grabbing the cutleries he dropped on the plate after spoon-feeding Paige. He felt extremely glad that he had her back in his corner. Without warning, Paige brushed her lips with his, while giggling nonstop. "That is my way of thanking you for being so considerate and kind. And preventing you from going broke as well." Paige said.Simon touched his lips gently, wishing he was aware that a kiss was coming his way earlier. He would have been more prepared
"Uncle Simon." little Jack ran to Simon and hugged him. He stood from his seat at the study and quickly grabbed Jack, lifting him off his feet happily."How is my little professor doing?" Simon asked happily."I'm good now. School wanted to drain me out, but fortunately, Aunt Anna saved my life." Jack replied."Hmm, so much sarcasm at such an age. How old are you again?" Simon asked, dropping him on a seat while Anna shut the door to the study."I am a big man uncle, age is just a number." Jack replied."That is not an answer to uncle's question, Jack." Anna scolded amidst laughter. "Now run along, I want to talk to your uncle." Anna told him."Okay, I'll see you later. I'll be with Grandma Emily if anybody needs me." Jack shouted as he ran off. Anna took a seat opposite Simon with an expectant face."Sherman said you asked to see me, you did miss me so much didn't you?" She asked with a smile after sitting down comfortably. "What is so important that you couldn't wait to see me?""Ann
