He is not doing all of this because he loves me, he just doesn’t want to loose me to Ace like his other girls. I glance at Asher with my eyes and mouth wide open in shock.
“Do you think…”
“I don’t think honey, that is what is there. He is doing this because of his undying love for you, he just doesn’t want to loose you to Ace”
“I hate him!”
“And it will interested you to know that Sophia is his cousin”
“Yeah” He says nodding.
“Wow”
“So now there’s two ways to look at this. It’s either his cousin begged him to get you back so that you don’t stand a chance with Ace or he doesn’t want to loose you to Ace”
“I know Seven, he’s a selfish strut. There is no way he’d be doing this cousin. He just doesn’t want to loose to Ace. It’s all about his ego”
“I&rsqu
“Thanks bro”“Tell me all about it”“About what exactly?”“How you got Luna Ramora Angelis pregnant”“You talk as if you know her so well”“As a matter of fact, I do and we have a little romantic history together”“Please don’t tell me the two of have been intimate”“Oh, no. It was just a kiss. I actually stole her first kiss and she hit me hard in the face. That stunk!”“Serves you right”“So how did you two meet?”“Remember that high school reunion party we had to attend before you got that emergency?”“Of course I do. We had used an entire week just pick outfits for that party”“Yeah, that’s where we met, had a few shots, one thing let to another and the rest is history.“I see… and where was Sophia?”&ldq
LUNA’S POV I grudgingly try to open my eyes when I feel a gentle tap on my shoulder. Who dares try to interrupt a pregnant woman’s sleep? “Wake up sleepy head, it’s almost noon” That voice, it’s a female voice and it sounds very familiar. I shoot my eyes open and let out a scream when I see Alora seated by my side. “ Oh my God!” I exclaim in joy as I hug her tight. I have missed her like crazy! “Easy girl, you’re pregnant” “Alora, are you for real?” “It’s your girl, damn! Pregnancy looks good on you babe. You are glowing!” “I’m getting fat!” I say rolling my eyes. “You still look hot!” Asher chips in as he walks into the bedroom. He is already dressed up for work and I do not need to tell you that he looks breathtaking…you know. The tuxedo he has on fits him perfectly and the I like the way a chunk of his hair falls down his face almost concealing his left eye. The hottest Attorney in the country.
The TV goes black.“The hell!” I exclaim in dismay.“You shouldn’t be watching that, that woman is pure evil” She says as she gives me warm hug and without warning, I burst into tears. This is way messed up than I thought it was. I can’t even begin to image the number of people watching that news right now. If I dare step out of the house right now, paparazzi will molest me big time.This is the end of me!Alora’s phone rings and when she checks the caller ID, She looks at me.“It’s Asher” She says as she picks up the call and puts on loudspeaker.“Hello Ash”“Where is Luna?”“She is right here”“Did she watch the news?”“Yeah, all of it”“Do not let her get out and do not let anybody in, most especially Ace”“I won’t”“Good, give her
The moment Kyle and I walk into the living room, I almost turn around and run away. Mum is sitting on a sofa completely lost in thought and dad is pacing about the living room restlessly like he just lost a big business contract. Whenever they are both in this state, Kyle and I are sure to get the scolding of our lives.“Mum, dad, here we are” Kyle announces.“Sweetie, are you okay?” Mum asks worriedly as she rushes to me and engulfs me in a warm hug.“Yes mum, I’m fine”“Thank you for bringing her safely” She says as she kisses Kyle’s cheeks.“It’s my duty”“Luna!” My father calls firmly and I jump in fright.“Yes Daddy” I answer in almost a whisper.“What do you see on the table” He asks and I slowly walk over to the table and I am not surprised at all to see my passport and a few other papers on it. I knew he was
I don’t regret saying those mean things to my mum. In a way, she deserved it. It was high time someone told her the truth. Ever since we were kids, she never defended us against our father’s harsh rules like a mother should.Any ways, now is not the time for me to lament about my mother’s lack of defense over us. I have less than twenty four hours to clear this mess else my sister will be a victim of my father’s dictatorial behavior again and there’s only one way for me to do that.I take out my cell phone and dial Ace’s number as I hop into my Maserati. I stole his contact from Luna’s cell phone when Alora handed it to me virtue of the fact that Luna always let’s me know her password. Thank God she didn’t notice. She would never let me meet with Ace one on one because she thinks I will get into a fight with him.Yes, I kind of dislike Ace for what he did to me in college but I don’t want to get i
When I arrive at my parents place, I don’t even bother to park my car in the driveway. I park by the lawn and alight from the car and take long strides to the door where I type the security code and walk in.When I get into the living room, I am not surprised at all to see my mum, Sophia and her mum seated on a couch, drinking and chatting like they just conquered the world.Nothing can convince me that they did not orchestrate this whole charade. They think they have finally accomplished their mission but I am here to burst their bubbles.I will give them the shock of their lives.“Mother!” I call in rage as I approach them. They all put their glasses down in silence and turn to look at me.“Hello babe” Sophia greets with a sickening smile.“Shut up, I will get back to you” I scold.“You don’t talk to your fiancé like that” My mother warns and I look at her in disgust
SOPHIA’S POVAce’s words keep replaying on my mind and I feel like I’m gradually loosing my sanity. I can’t let him call off that wedding. I am so close to getting there, I am so close to becoming the wife of the most eligible youth in the country. One tiny scandal cannot ruin that for me. Mrs. Cole is adamant to do the live video that will clear Luna’s name but I will not stop persuading her to do it.Yes, I hate Luna and I enjoy the fact that she’s in such a hot spot right now but I will never let her case ruin my relationship with Ace. I do love Ace, but I love his wealth and power more.Dang it!People literally worship me wherever I go because I am his girlfriend. I get all the attention and best customer services wherever I go, be it at the mall or beauty shop, just wherever. I am not ready to loose those privileges just yet. Even if I have to personally apologize to Luna for Mrs. Cole’s actions, I would do
LUNA’S POVIt’s past six pm and I’m seated in my bedroom at my parents place, sad, depressed, worried. I haven’t heard from Ace all day because my father seized my phone and locked me up in here and Asher hasn’t gotten back home since he left. Whatever his plan is, I doubt it’s going to work so I am preparing myself mentally for my departure tomorrow. I am sad because I’ll be leaving everyone I love and care about behind to go and start afresh in a foreign country.I hate that I have to leave without Ace’s consent, he’s going to get very furious but I’m totally helpless. My father is the last person in this planet earth I can stand up against. I can’t even begin to imagine the consequences of doing that. I’d rather obey his every command than disobey him and have him bring down the wrath of hell upon everyone I love and care about.My room door creaks open and I’m surprise to see my fa
