"I just went through the contract and it states nothing about pregnancy or marriage while working with them." That was Delores. They were at home and Sarah was in her room when Delores came in, holding a laptop and said that. Sarah was yet to get over the shock of her pregnancy and that was why she was in her room, on her bed, just laying there idly. She sat up when Delores came into her room and her friend walked to where she sat and sat with her on the bed. "Well, it doesn't matter. I'll have to have a talk with the manager to know my fate." Sarah replied Delores."Let's go there today." Delores replied.A deep sigh. Sarah gave a deep sigh and let her head drop."I really don't like this, Delores." Sarah said, tearily.Delores did not reply, she did not know what to say to Sarah at this point to cheer her up. The two women just sat there, silently and deep in thoughts. "How was your date last night, Delores?" Sarah broke the silence. "Oh, sis. The man never came." Delores repl
He stood there flabbergasted, not able to move and staring at the sheets of paper in his hands unbelievably. He had come into the room to look for something and while searching, he found the sheets of paper hidden in the side drawer of the bed. At first, he didn't pay attention but when he caught the sight of the Miller company name, he became curious and quickly grabbed it. What he saw, almost gave him a heart attack.It has been months since he got married to Lauren Miller and they no longer lived at the Diego mansion, Lauren's father had gifted them a house after the wedding and after two months of the wedding, they had moved into the house. The house was a storey building, it was simple yet beautiful and elegant. A garden at the back of the house and a swimming pool infront of it. He was still working at his father's company and Lauren was still working at her father's. But there was a problem, money was the problem. Ever since the Miller family joined ties with the Diego family
"What deal are you talking about?" Gladys asked quickly, she sounded irritated. "You can not afford to loose this family. I mean, even if you marry another rich woman, her family will not give you what we are offering." Lauren said again."Cut to the chase, Lauren." Peter Diego sounded irritated."We may be bankrupt but we have fame, power and our name shake buildings to its foundation. That is why, we are offering your family abit of our fame and connections, you will be introduced to the wealthiest people and in exchange for a token." Lauren calmly said."What do you mean?" Peter asked."I mean that, for every wealthy business partner I introduce to you, we share the profits from that business together." Lauren replied."How much are we talking about?" Gladys asked next."50/50." Lauren declared.Ron suddenly rose to his feet aggressively and started walking away. His parents stood up too, but they were not walking away, they were going after him.His mother was the first to catch
WARNING: THIS CHAPTER IS 18+ RATED.He stood perplexed and confused."What are you talking about?" He asked, skeptically.She smiled. Then she walked closer to him, their faces only inches apart from each other."Come and perform your duties in bed, Ron." She whispered.When she said that, she walked past him and walked out of the closet. When she walked out of the closet and into the bedroom, she went straight to bed and sat on it, giving her back to Ron. He stood there for a long while, wondering what he had gotten himself into. He could not believe that he was being played like a toy, not just by his family but now by Lauren Miller too. He felt angry and infuriated and for a moment, he wanted to disobey Lauren's order. He wanted to walk straight to bed and sleep and risk everything that she had to offer. But he could not, he dreaded disappointing his mother.Slowly, the man turned around and walked out of the closet, closing the closet door. He walked into the bedroom and with al
When she escorted the priest out of the building, they said their goodbyes and she went back to the apartment. Through out the journey to the apartment, she had mixed emotions, she was scared and at the same time happy. She was scared because this might be the last time she'd get to see the man, she was scared because the man might decide to stay off and even end their friendship. She was scared because she didn't want to loose him, her handsome, bald priest. But she was happy at the same time. Happy because she had finally kissed him, she had finally let him know how she felt about him and though no words were spoken, she knew that the man was not daft and he had gotten the message that kiss passed across. She was happy because she had kissed the love of her life. She kept touching her lips, reminiscing about the feel of his lips in hers and the feel of his tongue rolling around hers. When she finally got to the apartment, she broke he news to her friend. She told Sarah everything
~~~~NARRATOR'S POV~~~~A month had passed by since their second kiss. After the second kiss, the duo had agreed to be in a secret relationship. Bruno was still in the priesthood and he did not want to tarnish the image of priests. He had decided that he was going to leave the priesthood after some time and focus on his girlfriend and building a family with her. Sarah was aware of this secret relationship, even though she was in no support of it. Her being against the relationship between Delores and Bruno wasn't born out of jealousy or bitterness, in fact, she wanted her friend to be happy with the man. Sarah was just against a priest dating, she thought it a betrayal to the priesthood and one thing she did not support was betrayal. Her pregnancy was six months gone and her baby bump, it was growing fantastically. It looked like a nine months old pregnancy. Apart from Sarah and the couple being aware of the secret relationship, only Bruno's family was aware of the relationship. Ac
The church bell rang thrice, it was his turn. He rose from his seat when the church bell rang and started making his way to the wooden, brown colored confession box. He could feel the large number of eyes staring at him and he was sure they were wondering what crime a priest was going to confess. He was sure they were wondering if a priest was even supposed to confess? But he did not bother looking back at the people whom their gaze were on him, his gaze was far ahead. He wasn't in his priestly attire. He was wearing a blue jean trouser and a large white shirt. He got to the confession box and slowly, he went inside. The priest listening to the confessions could not hide his shock when he saw who entered his confession box next, he saw it but he did not care. He wanted go get things over and done with. When he had comfortably sat down, he broke the silence. "Forgive me, father. For I have sinned." He said, breaking the silence."Confess your sins, my child." The priest listening to
She sat in the car, wondering what was taking the man so long. She knew nothing about priesthood resignation but she was worried, maybe it was just her being afraid. Afraid that he might not be able to do it, afraid that her priest might chicken out and abandon her. She wanted to get out of the car and go into the building, to go and convince her priest one more time. But she did not, she did not leave the car because she trusted everything will go as planned, despite her fear, she trusted. She was not the type to pray. She believed in God quite alright but prayer - prayer was not what she did. After several times of praying at the university for things to get better, her prayers were left unanswered. Even when she left the university with Sarah, she still believed in prayers and she said them everyday, begging the almighty for things to get better for the both of them. But after a thousand and one times of praying without getting answered, she stopped praying. She just let things b
