|Meelah’s POV|Sunday went by in a blur with my girls showing up at mine and Brian’s house because they were worried sick about me switching off my phone after the incident that happened at the movie premier not only did they just help uplift my mood, but they also mentally prepared me to face the cold world (Kings Corp).It's Monday morning and instead of excitedly walking towards the tall and imposing structure that is standing out against the sky, reaching for the clouds in front of me with the windows arranged in a grid-like pattern in front of me, I am quite nervous but also eager to start work after being away for a while.I park my latest baby (the Tesla that was gifted to me by my father-in-law), then I take out a few of my necessities while clutching my ID badge, my bag, and other necessities, and then head towards the reception desk.I greet the security guard with a friendly smile and I swipe my badge at the entrance turnstile, hearing the satisfying beep that confirms my a
|Meelah’s POV|I start rounding up the exercise of decluttering my space because this is the first time I am getting back home at the normal closing hour instead of working overtime like I have been doing with Brian, only for my phone to start ringing, so I pause what I am doing to pick up the call.“Hey babes… how are you doing?” Eden says as soon as I pick up the video calls and before I can reply to her, the other girls join the call.“Melanie Caleb… you skipped two girl’s nights without any call nor explanation to justify your actions,” Aurora accuses as soon as she joins the call.“Hmmm,” I sigh deeply.“The past two weeks have been crazy in Kings Corporation, with me trying to stay out of my husband’s ex-girlfriend who tries to sabotage me at any opportunity that she gets, the latest project of Kings Corporation that has been making both Brian and I work overtime because he needs to prove to his father that he can handle the company while I have had to prove to people that I did
/Brian's POV/ I stare at my phone waiting for my friend,Elliot to reply my message but his W******p about icon has been showing ‘typing’ for the past five minutes. I feel a prick of sadness as I stare at my other friend sitting next to me in the car but she looks quite occupied with what she is doing on her phone. Right now, I need somebody to help me calm these nerves that are all over the place,but out of my three friends, Elliot is the only friend that is in support of my engagement. "His meeting must have commenced" I sigh in disappointment as I turn off my cellular connection and slide my phone in the breast pocket of my wine suit before staring out of the window. I have anticipated this day over the past two weeks and now that the day is finally here, I can't wait to get to the venue to get started as I take one step closer to forever with the love of my life. "How do you feel about all this?" my friend, Rhea finally breaks the silence in the car and I observe her keenly f
/Brian’s pov/ I start waking towards the direction of where she is gracefully setting up the tripod in her hand. I may not have had so many interactions with Melanie caleb, but she made quite an impression on me when I screened her for the post of my fathers assistant. More than wanting to speak to Melanie as an excuse to get Rhea off my back, I think I will use this opportunity to relay something important to her about how I want my proposal to be . I know that me approaching any other Emerald ( the girl gang that Ember belongs to) would have gone the trick, but Rhea feels exceptional hatred towards Meelah because was suspended from college because of meelah which makes Meelah a stronger option to consider. “Miss Caleb” I refer to Melanie in a professional tone but instead she looks around before awkwardly pointing to herself. “You are Melanie Caleb Caleb right?” I ask her when she doesn’t stop staring at me in a questionable manner. “ of course I am “ she an
/Brian's pov/I hold her hand as I lead her towards the stairs on the high table but I notice that she was walking really slowly like she was going to trip and fall "This is not going to work" I mumble as I lift her off the ground carrying in a bridal styled way because that is exactly what she is to me, she is my bride. "What are you doing?" I she inquires in an alarmed voice "Don't open your eyes" I quickly instruct her so that she doesn't ruin my Suprise. "I know you are trying to prevent a situation of me slipping down the stairs, but I promise to follow your lead carefully so just put me down" she tries to convince me "Carrying you all the way is much more effective and beautiful than asking you to close your eyes and leading you there like a blind person" I answers her still moving Ember buries her head on my chest and I smile because she looks really cute while trying to avoid everyone focusing on us but on the contrary I am enjoying the attention . She eventually sl
Brian's pov/"Can we go and grab something to eat?" Rhea inquires and that eams her a glare from me."Are you seriously talking about food right now?" I ask Rhea with shock lacing my voice because there are times that I find it really difficult to wrap my head around how Rhea thinks."come to think of it, we barely had anything to eat in the morning because of your over excitement about the whole engagement more so, you were more concerned about us checking that everything was in place after hiring the best of the best of the best to be in charge of the engagement ceremony and I accompanied you without questions" Rhea states and my irritation flares.Are you seriously doing this right now because you don't like Ember?" I ask her with clenched fists.*I think there is some kind of misunderstanding going on here so why don't we just go about that somewhere away from here?" Adrian says quickly stepping in between Rhea and I to stop the fight before it starts."There is no misunderstandin
I can feel my muscles constricting and time seemed to slow down as I stand frozen in my spot as I try to process everything that I just heard in the news.I continue to stare at the television with wide eyes that I can not shut while waiting for the journalist that dropped such a bomb on me without proper evidence to come back from the commercial break that she went on because at this point, it is feasible that my whole world is crumbling apart.“Wait a minute,the plane Jane is pregnant?” Rhea pronounces in an enquiries tone jolting me out of my state of momentary shock “Brain?” Rhea taps me again when she doesn’t get a reply from me “Are you seeing the same thing that I am seeing on the screen?” She inquires and my face suddenly start to brim with tears because at this point, I just don’t know what to do “Ember? Pregnant?…how?” I try to process, but it doesn’t just seem to add up “Your plane Jane is pregnant for Adrian?” She pronounced like she can’t believe her ears “These peo
I keep my head on the broken steering shaft for a while before suddenly remembering that I was trying to track down Adrian’s location so I take out my phone and launch my snap chat From my Snapchat, I realize that Adrian’s location is around Evergreen resting place, the cemetery that Embers late sister was buried three years ago.I start my car to check impact that my anger issue has on the steering and I realize that the car still drives fine , just that it feels horrible and the horn honks when i turn so everyone thinks i'm honking at them but apart from that , every other thing is fine.I set out for the resting place hoping that the journey there will as smooth as possible and no one will recognize me and put me up on socialMedia because I can’t promise that things won’t get ugly with Adrian .I finally get to the resting place after driving for more than forty five minutes , so I park my car and I head straight to where Embers twin sister was buried three years ago.
