I walked in through the heavily guarded gates with my hands in my pockets. After being searched and asked questions of whether I had any weapons, which I didn't, I was finally let through.
I sat down on the bench with its paint chiping away, crossing my arms over my chest, I waited patiently. I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for Xania's constant begging, and because I love her and I want her to be happy I finally came.
If it wasn't for her, I don't think I would've stepped foot in this place, or even want to see him ever. He came out with his wrists chained and a guard holding onto his arm as he pulled him towards me.
His face lighted up with what seemed like pure happiness to finally see me, but that happiness died down once he noticed that the feeling wasn't mutual. Despite feeling some other way, I got up and hugged him after the guard had removed the handcuffs.
"It's good to see you," he said as he slap

Theo was late. For his own gathering, something that he organised and he was late!Everyone was here except for Cassandra and Marcus, they were here for a brief moment to drop off Jameson, but they said they had their own arrangements they had to attend to.I sat with Azani on my lap and Jameson as we conversed about what people their age talk about. Here I was with my two favourite boys, talking about Transformers."I think sissy is Optimus Prime," Azani said as he played with his toy figure."Yeah, I think so too," Jameson said as he held Megatron and 'fought' with Azani's Optimus."Really? I think I'm bumblebee," I said as I picked up my figurine and pushed it between the two. "Don't you think I'm bumblebee?" I asked Azani and he giggled shaking his head."No, you're Optimus sissy," he said and I laughed."Fine, but I still think I'm bumblebee, just saying," I kissed his temple and we carried on playing."Nia, do you want a

"For your exams, please remember the shortcuts I taught you guys, if you get those, you've aced the test," I said to my students as they packed up their laptops and tablets."Sure Mrs Walder," one of the students sang and I rolled my eyes."Good luck, and I hope to see all of you in the second year," I said as I left the studio and headed to Joshua's office. "Hey," I said as I dropped myself onto the couch."Hi," he grumbled without looking up and I raised my head to look at him."What's up with you?" I asked him amused and he gave me the 'really?' look, I shrugged my shoulders to show that I really didn't know what was wrong."Oh," he said offended. "So you really don't know?" He asked raising his hands and I sat up straight. "Are you seriously going to sit there and pretend as if you don't know what the problem is?""Yes?" I answered unsure and Jonathan rolled his eyes as he slammed his hands on the desk."Bitch," he dragged out and

I exited our bedroom as I wore my earrings. My heels clacked against the ceramic white tiles and I joined everyone else in our living room.Ever since Theo and I got married, I moved into the house and while I have been living on cloud nine in the bedroom and everywhere else, we've also been busy with making sure the plan was secure and safe.And because of that, the team had to sleep over here a few nights in and this whole week they've been here, so Theo and I haven't really been able to get down and dirty and I'm kind off irritated because of that, but after tonight, we're definitely going to break that bed."Okay, I'm ready," I said as I smoothed down my dress and Leo whistled making me smile."Always mami! Al-fucking-ways!""Thank you, Leo," I said."No, go change," Theo said and I raised my hands."This is the third dress, Theo!" I complained and he shook his head."And you're still naked, go change," Theo said and I cros

With everyone dispersed in the building I stood in front of a portrait and I couldn't help but feel sad for the painter, it was full of despair and pain but it was a lovely painting.Luke was somewhere behind the building hacking into the buildings software. Leo was downstairs where the DBS box was situated, Miranda was in the controls room and Gwen and Kim were in the gallery too walking around together.Theo stayed in the car for obvious reasons, he would stand out and Michael would obviously know something was up.Moving onto the next painting, I smiled to the couple that was already standing in front of it.The gallery had a limited number of people in it, and at such short notice they informed all of the guests that they wouldn't be selling their pieces anymore, of course that didn't disrupt our plans.The counterfeits were waiting to be planted, all we had to do now was throw the bai

You have to believe I tried really hard to stay in the car, but the more I heard him speak to Xania, try to crack up jokes as if everything was okay between them made me angry.To begin with, they were never close, he never had good intentions for her, and to even bring up her depression set me off. So I sat patiently waiting for him in the basement.The original paintings had already been switched out and were heading to my buyer with Leo, the ones that Michael thought were real were just printed paintings, with a little texture added by my wife.She had been the one to really break down the plan and make it solid, even better than I had in the first place. To think that this is what she's been planning for the last few years, trying to find ways to get rid of Micheal forever really makes me see how her and I are meant for each other.I heard her call out my name in the earpiece but I couldn't answer, bec

Two months passed feeling like they were two years, Theo was still in jail and luckily so far, Conan hadn't found any concrete evidence against him yet.Gwen was acting CEO and I was still the artist wife, I had no idea or any knowledge about business whatsoever but I was glad Gwen was heading his company.Luke and Leo were in charge of the side businesses, it's not as if operations were going to stop just because Theo went to jail, the show must go on!Miranda and Kim also worked in the company, Miranda was part of the IT group and Kim happily chose to be Gwen's PA, I guess she did have the face for that.Living in this house alone was draining, of course my sister and Azani would come visit me from time to time but it still didn't feel the same without him here. The bed I slept in was too cold and too big for me.Even though my own gallery was underway to being complete and ready for opening in the next two months or less, I was bored to death. I

Four months in here has been a drag, I was kind of starting to regret my decision in not allowing Xania to come see me but it's for the best.I laid on my bunker staring up at the ceiling, these mattresses were horrible for the back, and of course Conan made sure to have me sent somewhere I particularly wouldn't enjoy, but luckily for me, Adam was my roommate.He was currently standing by the gate with one of his 'friends' that he made here in jail, since I didn't plan on being here that long, I made sure that everybody understood the status of our relationship.No, I wasn't bossy, nor was I a fool, I made sure that I was on okay terms with most of the trouble makers and as long as we stayed away from each other, there were no issues between us."Bro, why's your bro think he better than us?" I heard Amelio ask Adam and he chuckled shrugging his shoulders."That's because he is," Adam said,

With my hand on my belly, I walked around my gallery greeting the viewers with a smile. I passed my some of my old classmates featured paintings of the month and felt proud of all I achieved. I came to a stop in front of the painting that took me eight months to finish, a crazy excruciating eight months! The black canvas was filled with strokes of blue and purple. Onlg the outlines of our bodies were painted, all the different positions were depicted and I loved this painting so much because I felt closer to him. I felt the warmth of a body stand next to me but I couldn't turn to stare at the person. The scent was familiar and the gaze was intense. "Has it been six months already?" I asked still staring at my painting. "Were you not waiting for me?" He asked and I turned to look at him shaking my head. "I got tired of waiting," I whispered. "I never stopped thinking of you," he said pushing a lock of my hair away from my face.
