Entangled In The Web Of Love

The living room was inexplicably quiet. The guests are long gone and the servants have returned to their chambers but the members of the family are still up and gathered with solemn faces. I watch all of them, one after the other.Aiden had no guilt on his face, in fact, he looked like he wanted this meeting to be done quickly so he could continue with what he was doing.Joyceline looked nonchalant which made me understand that this was probably something that they did on multiple occasions.Andrea had a grim expression on his face. I suspected that she must have known about this but why would she allow her son to do this to me?Jessica had the same expression as her mother. At last, his cousin brother, Alan. He simply looked at me with cold eyes. I never understood why he was always acting like this.“Sydney, how dare you ruin this anniversary by ending it abruptly?” Andrea asked me.“Mother…”“Don’t call me that!” She cut me off.I hold back the tears that threatened to fall. “I’m

My eyes are heavy as I try to force them to open fully. I stirred my body on the bed and stretched out my muscles, it has been ages since I have slept so peacefully. But last night was different, I can’t remember vividly what happened but it was a good one. I manage to sit up and yawn loudly, raising my hands and dropping them on the bed. I freeze when I feel the warmth by my side, someone was here with me and from the looks of it, whoever it was must have left early.Then all of a sudden, my memories with the lady from the club flood in. From when she walked into the club with her friend to when I approached her and we started a conversation, then to when I asked her to dance with me and then finally when I asked her to sleep with me and she agreed!It was one of the most memorable moments in my life. She was sweet and passionate and our love making was something I’ve never experienced with any woman at all. Where are you, Sydney?“Sydney…” I call her name softly. I enter the bathro

** Sydney **“I can’t believe that I slept with him!” I exclaimed with a loud voice.Lydia groaned and shook her head. “It is not a big deal, Syd. It’s not like Aiden is going to know if you slept with someone else or not, he probably won’t even care if you did. Just let it go,” she said.“Not a big deal? Lydia, I can’t believe that this is coming from you!” I exhaled in frustration.I stood up and paced around the bedroom with my hands on my waist. I am feeling guilty about it and my mind is not at rest. How can I sleep with a random guy who I just met in less than twenty four hours? I am still married for goodness sake!What if Aiden finds out about Joyceline and her lies, then decides to get back together with me? This would blow up the chances that I have to reunite with my husband.“Look, Sydney. Aiden cheated on you with Joyceline, your best friend. You go to the club and sleep with someone, take it as a good scope for revenge.”“There is nothing like revenge on this one. I neve

** Spencer **I relax inside the walls of the magnificent office, which is decorated to my taste. There is a glass demarcation with the other small space being carved out as my personal assistant’s office. Even with the sharing of space, I am satisfied with the size of my own office. This proves how much progressive my company has made over the years of my absence. I sighed in relief that things were turning out well for me in the business industry, but the untold shadows of my past were lurking around my mind. I can feel it.While I have not been contacted by anyone from my past, I feel like it would be best if I don’t come across any of them ever again. Because right now, I can feel the rage as it burns inside me. I call myself a coward for running away in the first place. I should have stood my ground and took back what belonged to me.“Spencer?” A female voice called my name softly.The first person that comes into my mind is Sydney. I have been thinking about her ever since we h

I stared nervously at myself in the mirror. I was scared - so scared - that I was going to make a tragic mistake and ruin everything. I don’t want to blow this up, this could be the only chance I have and closest to getting an interview let alone a job.Lydia entered the bedroom with a cup of tea - drinking coffee is strictly forbidden - and handed me a cup with a nod of approval as she assessed my appearance.“You look like the typical personal assistant,” Lydia said.“Are you sure that they are going to like my dress at all?” I asked nervously.“For goodness sake, you are going to an interview, not a date.”“But the skirt looks bigger on me, like the overall uniform of an apprentice,” I complained.Lydia sighed. “You are pregnant, Sydney. It’s not advisable to wear tight clothes to avoid certain circumstances that might not be good. Listen to me, you are perfect and I’m sure that if you worry less about your appearance and focus more on building your confidence, you will get the job.
