“I have truly been living for that man for three whole years now. Not anymore,”She whispered and closed the diary. She kind of wished she could drink alcohol to help her fall asleep but she didn’t want to hurt her little one in any way. She already hurt her twice today, first by choosing to go to a meeting with that man and secondly by kissing his alcohol-filled mouth even though it would have hurt her. Okay, technically, that’s not enough to harm her but still, she shouldn’t have been kissing Luciano in the first place. “I am sorry, my darling.”She apologized, holding her lower abdomen. “I will always put you first from now on,” Her phone beeped and she checked to see that Luciano had deposited money in her account. She checked her balance. “Whoa, is he trying to buy me back with money or what?”She asked when she saw the amount that he had sent. “If he thinks I will return the money then he really doesn’t have any idea who I am,”She let out. He paid three times her normal sa
“What? Why? You just got your job back, you said you would work for three months, it has only been one month,”“Yeah, I know but I am tired of working for someone like Luciano. The man, God, I don’t even want to think about him. Right now, what I need is a silk press,”Dani said, taking off her jacket. She took a seat and stared around the cozy office. It gave off peaceful vibes just like Keira.“Nope, you don’t get one until you tell me what happened and why you are suddenly out of a job. You worked for that man for five whole years and never once thought of quitting, why would you quit now when a couple of weeks ago you were happy to get your job back,”Keira asked. Dani knew her best bet was to explain to her best friend. “I am done with him, K, he is not human. I couldn’t go to my appointment with the doctor yesterday because the fucker asked me to come with him for some stupid ass meeting that took the whole of the day. I got mad at him and myself and told him off. He said some
“Why did you think it was a good idea to send it to my mail without first printing it out?”Luciano yelled at his secretary. This wasn’t the first time he was yelling today and it wasn’t even half of the working day just yet. He was so tired and stressed out already and all he had done today was attend an online meeting with a client from Seoul. Even the meeting almost didn’t happen because his secretaries as many as they were couldn’t even remind him that he had a meeting until the last minute. Now the loser he was talking to stood in front of him like he suddenly lost the ability to speak. “Why aren’t you saying anything? Did you lose the ability to speak?”Luciano yelled at him. “Sorry sir, I didn’t know I was supposed to print it out again since you already have a copy,”“You are joking, right? There is no way you just said what I heard and meant it, are you out of your mind? Why would I not need a hard copy of a very important deal? What am I paying you for? If you are not goin
Dani couldn’t believe her eyes. He was here in front of her apartment even though she warned him not to show up. The man never listens to anyone but himself. She blamed herself, if she had listened to Keira and had gone home with her like she had wanted, then she would not have had to come and face him again. She didn’t even know he knew where she lived. It wasn’t in her resume because she had long moved out of the address that she had been living in when she had first gotten the job. “What are you doing here?”Dani asked him again. He just stood there looking at her without saying a word. “I don’t know why you are here but please leave,”She said as she unlocked her door and walked in, she tried to close the door behind her but his leg on the way prevented that from happening. “Wha-“ “Where have you been and why are you just coming back when you didn’t even show up at work?”He asked. Cutting off whatever else that she had to say. Dani glared at him. “I don’t know why you are he
“I can’t believe I came all the way here just for you to school me. I came with an offer that any other person would have accepted without hesitating and yet you turned me down? Well, that’s your last chance. I tried to hold on to you but you clearly have a bigger fish now. I hope you don’t regret it,”He said in a dismissive tone that Dani was already so used to it so it didn’t bother her at all. “I hope you take what I said into consideration then you won’t have to be chasing me everywhere to get me to keep working for you as if I am some kind of executive in your company when all I was there was a secretary.”Dani responded. She could tell he was offended by what she was saying but she had no need or reason to back down. “You are all talk, Danielle, executive? You wish. I know one thing for sure, you are going to regret turning down my offer when that baby daddy that you thought would pay for your life going forward leaves you dry and hanging,”Dani glared at him. He was still on
Dani woke up in a happy mood, she hurriedly got ready even though she still had enough time before she had to be at the hospital. She wore a pretty flowery top and a mini jean skirt but later changed her mind and went with a pair of boyfriend jeans. She did a light makeup and left the house after making sure she looked okay, she drove to Keira’s house and waited for her to get ready. To beat the morning traffic, they left the house at seven-thirty even though her appointment was by ten am. They stopped at a bed and breakfast and ate a light breakfast. “My ex-boss came to my house last night,”She informed Keira as they ate. K almost spilled her tea. “What? How did he know where you live? I thought you said he had no idea, what did he want?”She questioned, wiping her lips and the tea she spilled off the table. “I don’t know how he knows but I am guessing he did his search; I should have known he would know. Anyway, he came offering so many things so that I can go back to working fo
“Are you sure? You might be mistaken,”Dani whispered. Her heartbeat increased in fear. She wasn’t ready for two babies at the moment. She never thought of that while making plans. She hoped she got it all wrong. “No, there are two of them, see, there are two very clear dots, if it is just one, then it would be one baby but there are two. It is very clear,”She pointed out. Dani saw the dots but still, she hoped that wasn’t the case. Not like she didn’t like the thought of having twins. It was just that she didn’t plan for two babies. “They look healthy and are growing nicely. The doctor will explain better when she sees your result,”The sonographer said. She continued working and talking to Dani as she went but Dani could barely hear what she was saying. The fear that she might really be pregnant with twins while only having funds for one weighed heavily on her. She didn’t even know when the sonographer finished. If Keira hadn’t touched her, she would not have been aware. The sono
“Alright, I will let you do whatever you want. Just know that I can be very lazy,”She said and handed her the keys. They got out of the car and switched places. “You are allowed to be lazy, two babies are growing inside of you,”Keira responded when they settled back into the car. “First, we go get you a new phone,”Keira suggested but Dani shook her head. “There is no point, I can use yours when I need to call someone. Though I don’t have anyone I would call. You already gave your contact to the hospital so they will call you instead. I don’t need a new phone right now. When I need one, I would get one,”Dani explained to which Keira agreed without questions. They first drove to her apartment so that she could get the stuff that she needed after which they went grocery shopping. By the time they got back to Keira’s house, it was already left so instead of cooking they made do with leftover food that Keira had in her fridge. Dani thanked Keira for spending her whole day with her
