Aiden,The weekend has been a long one for me, busy and most especially noisy. I took it as an advantage to renew my wardrobe and run other errands I knew I wouldn't be able to do throughout the week.Mom left one week ago, which gave me that liberty I had been missing.My countenance was filled with surprise when I spotted Miller and Gabriel shopping in the same boutique as me."Aiden, is that you?" Gabriel stated. His grin widened as he watched me with surprise written all over his face."Yes, as you can see for yourself." I said firmly."Long time no see. How many years is that? That should be three years ago." He said, his face covered with smirks."Yeah! You are right, it's been three years." I said annoyance mixed in my speech.Gabriel is an old friend from the university. We attended the same schools and even started a business together. That's when we were very young and naive. At that time, we were just trying to follow our parents steps who were all billionaires.After the f
Clarissa,"Where have you been all this while? Have been searching for you." I asked with annoyance mixed in my speech."I am so sorry that I had to take some distance," Aiden replied nervously. He tilted his hair in an awkward manner."Why did you go so long? Is it that you don't love me?" I halted in my speech and looked in his eyes, to see how he was going to react, "We are both expecting a baby." I placed my hands on my belly and began contouring it in invisible strokes."Do you mean you are expecting my baby? That's good news. Have always wanted to be a father, and I'm glad you are about to give me that opportunity." Aiden said. He took me in his arms."Will you marry me?" He knelt and presented a ring before me.At this point, I heard someone rubbing her hands on my wrist. I gasped before waking up from my long sleep."Oh, calm down darling. What's the matter?" Virginia addressed me. She wore a surprised face."It was just a dream." I placed my hands on my aching head."What dre
Aiden,The past few days for me has being hell. The Billionaires' Award is coming up in a month, and this whole shit is stressing me out. Not only have I been nominated for three awards, but I'm to host a party after that. Have never experienced this issue before, so I don't know how it works.Not withstanding, I got an invitation from a publishing house. That's where I rendered myself this morning before resuming for work. I must say their offer was tempting and also ridiculous at the same time.Mrs. Charlotte Lamenz, the chief executive officer of Worldwide Publishing Ltc, wants to write a book about my firm. In this book, she wants everything about me to the published.Thinking of it, it was a good and a bad idea. Good because I was going to be exposed to more people than before, but the bad side of it was that I was going to become my haters' object, as through this book, they were going to try by all means to tarnish my reputation.Frankly speaking I had to think about all that b
Clarissa,An alarm ranged annoyingly beside my bed and I angrily slammed the buzzer. I had been sleeping since yesterday at 6 pm trying to run away from what I saw. The little toddler in me made it impossible for me to kill myself in drinking. Hence, drugging myself to a long night sleep was the only option."Damn, my head ache." I let out as I struggled to step down from the bed. My eyes were blurry making it impossible for me to see where I was placing my foot. I had to hold the edge of my bed to help control my steps. After struggling for some minutes, I managed to get to the bathroom. I washed my face, my body and dressed. After which I closed the room door behind me. I was heading to the kitchen to make something for myself. By this time of the day, I’m sure Virginia must have prepared already.“Oh, there you come. I was about to come pick you up. Please seat down and have something.” She said, her voice echoing down my system.This baby I’m carrying has brought a change in Virg
Aiden,It’s Monday morning, and I’m looking as hot as hell. This is because I accepted Mrs. Charlotte’s proposal. The proposal of appearing on her next book. Last night, I got an email from her team, requesting some photo shoots for the cover of the book. This is something I’m not quite open to, but for the sake of this project, have got to give it my all. I took some time to go through some of her past achievements and I could tell she really has influence. This is going to help me get the exact influence I have being craving for.Not to say I am not famous. In the city, most of the people know me for the business maniac I am. Apart from my businesses, I haven’t been able to create another life for myself. I just want to prove to my family and the rest of the world that although I ain’t married, I can create a life out of my business.Dressed in a deep crimson trouser, made of silk chiffon, light-coloured shirt and a pair of brown brogues, I glared at myself through the mirror oppo
Clarissa,Pecking my lips softly and watching the image on the TV screen display, I coiled my hair in between my index finger with a sigh of frustration.Today is the D day, and our degree results were meant to be published. I couldn't afford the transport fare to my school, so Virginia; my flatmate and best friend offered to get to school and verify our results. She left two hours ago. She hasn't called nor texted and I'm beginning to get worried.As much as I wanted to keep calm, I still resented some nervousness. I gave it my all and I didn't want to fail the final exams.I had no money to start all over.I needed a decent job to pay for the bills which kept piling up.The ringing sound of my phone pulled me out of my thoughts. Seeing Virginia's number displayed on my phone, I sat upright before answering the call, "Hello," I said, my voice growing softer."We finally did it. As I speak to you now, we are the latest degree holders in town," She said, her deep husky voice booming th
Aiden,TWO HOURS BEFORE GETTING TO ST JOHN'S TOP PLAZA."Here is the contract Sir, please sign them." I shoved the documents to the CEO of resourcing factors Ltd.He was requesting a three-year contract with my company. In this contract, it stated I was going to supply his company with crude oil for the next three years. It was indeed a big achievement. It wasn't easy for a young firm of mine to be the sole supplier of crude oil to an already established firm.The CEO of resourcing factors Ltd held a blue pen and ran his signature in between the lines. A whopping 10 billion deal it was!!!!"That said, we would take our leave. It was a pleasure doing business with your company." We both exchanged a handshake before he dismissed himself.I was exhausted and wanted to get home, take a cold bath and lie on my bed for some hours. I needed to get back to work, sourcing different markets that were ready to consume my products.My office door push opened, revealing the features of Anthony Mil
Clarissa,I groggily opened my eyes and found myself lying in a royal king bed. I felt a dull pain on my forehead as I creased it gently. My vision blurred as I tried opening my eyes, breathing in and out softly. I rubbed my eyes with the back of my palm to help clear my vision.Just then, I realized I was surrounded by blood. Oh no, I gasp and jerked off the bed cover from my petite body. I was naked! Last night was magical, I guess I gasped because it was my first time. After the third round of f***ing in every single damn corner of the room, I slept off.Aiden was not in bed when I got up. I'm sure he went downstairs to command our food. Isn't he romantic? He was the perfect type every woman needed by their side.Getting down from the bed to arrange myself seductively before he returned, I mistakenly pushed the bed cover to the floor. While picking it up, a note flew across. I picked it up and went through it. It stated, 'Let's forget this ever happened!' "What?!" my eyes widened
