Luisa’s POVEverywhere was quiet, and everyone stood silent. No one was willing to make a sound afraid that they might annoy Kingston. I was also quiet with Chris sitting on my leg as if he could sense the atmosphere, he was also quiet sucking on a toy soldier's arm.Kingston had returned from work and asked Miss Andreas to assemble all the maids in front of him. Apart from the day I was screened as a maid in the mansion, I had never seen all the maid assembly. Jenny mouthed, “What’s going on?”I had no idea what was happening, so I mouthed back, “No idea.”Not just Jenny but most of the maids were looking at me like a source of information. Kingston had gone inside to change. Yet, no one could whisper for the fear of him. I was so focused on watching Jenny's mouth that I had no idea Kingston was back until I heard Chris, “Dada.”He lifted Chris off my hand and placed him on his lap. “My instruction will be very simple. I don’t want to see Clarissa or Nelly in this mansion. An
Kingston’s POVMy phone had been buzzing all day with my mother’s call. I had ignored every one of her calls intentionally, but she was very stubborn about it. I knew what she wanted to discuss. I knew the only reason she wanted to talk to me urgently was because of Clarissa, and I was not interested in anything that involved her.I was in a meeting when my phone buzzed again. The men paused to stare at me. “What’s going on? Do you have to pick that?”It was my mother. “Don’t bother. It’s nothing urgent.”I opened the file in front of me. “As I was saying, it will be best to get the land now. There is a high possibility of the rate of that particular land increasing soon. If we purchase it and build a complex apartment it is going to be in our favour.”The men nodded. I loved keeping my managers informed of major projects, or whenever we were trying to acquire a new property that would need a new manager. I tried bringing them all together to evaluate who I could put in char
Luisa’s POV“We are here to take you on a date.” I said with a slight smile. What if it was a bad idea and he was too busy to go on date? I never thought this far while planning; all I wanted to do was take his mind off Nelly. He might not act it, but I felt he was hurt by the fact that she was not his daughter. He must have been hurt that someone he once cared about could go to such lengths to deceive him.“You and Chris.” He asked.I nodded, “I decided to make it a family date. I feel we haven’t been spending more time with Chris, so this is an opportunity to spend time with him.”He placed a kiss on Chris's forehead, “Okay. So, where do you guys plan to take me?” I could see the amusement in his eyes, and I was glad to be the reason he was feeling this way.“That is a surprise. I hope we are not disturbing your work.”He carried Chris in one hand and started closing files with the other, “No, it’s perfect. I am not too busy.”I sat on the couch watching him pack up things on h
Kingston’s POVMy father sat quietly behind his desk with a newspaper in his hand. He focused on it like he hadn’t summoned me to his office that morning. I waited on him quietly. When he was down taking in all he wanted from the newspaper, he folded it back on his desk. “What’s going on with your daughter?”Mother; I knew she was more interested in my life than I was but I never knew she was going to report me to my father. I leaned back on my chair, “You know the sort of son you have, dad. I am not someone who is going to abandon his biological daughter just because I don’t want to have a relationship with her mother.”He nodded, “I trust you, son. What are we going to do about your mother?”I laughed. She had really put my father in a tight position. He hardly says no to her. I was sure she had instructed him to make sure I listen to him, probably; she wanted him to command me to take Nelly back.“We just have to let her see she is wrong? I want her to know that she doesn’t
Luisa’s POVIf everything was suddenly going as expected, things were going better than you had imagined. It was a bad omen. With Clarissa and Nelly out of our lives, things were easier at home. I was finally getting used to being the mistress of the mansion. My future mother-in-law was also out of communication with me it was as if she had lost interest in the marriage plannings all of a sudden. To me, it was an amazing thing. It seemed everything was working for my good. My match-making duty was also going fine. I could see the friendship budding between Nick and Jenny; I was proud of myself. I just wanted to try, I had no idea I was going to make such an impact on them.Chris was seated between my tight with his tab in front of him; we were watching the kiddie's show and trying to get the wordings in ‘Baby shark’ when the door to my room suddenly opened without a knock. There was no one in the mansion who had the audacity to barge into the room, not even miss Andreas. I turne
Kingston’s POVMy hand felt numb, and there was a little drop of blood dripping from it. I had no idea if it was my blood or my new punching bag. I picked a towel to wipe the blood from it, but when I observed it was not my blood, I threw the towel in the bin closest to me. The room was thoroughly soundproof, and no know knows that it existed in my office. I did not really usually use the room, but I created it because of emergency situations like this. I was not usually violent, but sometimes situations I did not expect to happen, happens, and the room was created for that purpose.Jared held Derek who looked limp on the floor with all his clothes covered in blood. The moment I saw the blog about him being Luisa's secret lover; I lost every reason I have for not dealing with him a bit. I ordered Jared to bring him to the office. I was trying to get him to spit out the reason he was lurking around Luisa, but he sounded too confident and arrogant, and he ended up as my punching b
Journalists were a set of annoying people, when I received the first strange number call on my phone, I had no idea it was from a journalist wanting to hold an interview with me. I was surprised by how they could find my personal phone number; I hadn’t posted it on any of my social media. I was been careful with the call I picked from then. I refused to pick any strange number.I lay down on the bed feeling empty and not wanting to do anything. I placed Chris on my chest and before I knew it, he was already asleep on my chest. When I heard the door to my room open slowly, I dropped Chris on the bed. The moment I saw Kingston’s hair at the door, I jumped up and launched at him. He chuckled and moved back slowly, “Easy, Wifey. I am not going anywhere, trust me.”I knew he wasn’t going anywhere. I was just relieved to see him. When he told me he believed me on the phone, I was still in doubt, but I was really glad that he was here because of me right now. “I’m just glad to see y
Luisa’s POVParis was exactly the way I thought it was going to be. To be honest, it was a bit better than I thought. It was no wonder why people call it the city of love. I felt as if I was in a different world where people wouldn’t judge me or criticize me without knowing who exactly I was. It was more fun because the two people I loved were with me. My whole world felt complete. Wherever we went people kept on staring at Kingston and Chris, they were surprised at how much they looked alike. But I was certain; they were more surprised by how handsome they were. The both of them together were worth drooling over. The more people stared at them, the more proud I felt. I linked my hand to Kingston’s whenever I saw ladies looking at him as if they wanted to rape him. No one should dare come close to him; yet, some ladies did not read the memo and still tried making advances at him. I smiled when he rejected them flatly. That was my man.Just being out with him and not hiding behin
