From the exquisite pool area, the lounges, bars and the restaurant, everything mom wanted...I took my luggage inside my suit and waited for sometime before coming down to meet the family..Christian and dad were sitting at the lounge talking, when they saw me coming toward the table..I saw dad signalling Christian to stop talking, the second his eyes and mine met with each other.."Good day Nina, hope You've settled in?". Dad asked me to sit down on the empty chair next to him.."I'm good, I think". I turned to Christian and then back to dad, " I don't feel like coming here". I opened up to the both of them..I thought I was about to get reprimanded but to my surprise, dad agreed with me. He too didn't want to come but he had no choice but to agree with his wife, Christian too, it would seem both father and son don't want to go against the mother of the house..Mom met us at the lounge after sometime and she asked w
EPISODE 25: AT ALL, YOU'RE NOT NEEDED.Mom bringing Sara to a family trip signifys her relentless pursuit in joining her son and his ex girlfriend, of cause I cannot say anything, Christian has been bought by his mother, now he has been totally convinced that she's a hundred percent happy with our alliance...And as much as I want to tell him the truth, there's no way Mom is going to agree to her crimes, literally everything she's doing and has done is for a reason.."Baby, what happened?".Christian reeled me back to the others..I must've gotten deep in my thoughts that I forgot I wasn't alone.."I'm good, nothing". I smiled and slightly allowed his fingers to brush through my shoulders..I can see mom's face getting all radish and Sara as well, anyone at the table would know that they are not comfortable with my relationship with Christian, it's surprising that I can read the faces of his mom and ex girlfriend, but Christian and I can't?..Somehow, mom made sure that Dad and Chr
Episode 26: Bad decisions.. The entire day, Christian and Lisa's phone was switched off, I couldn't ask mom where she might've sent her son to with Lisa, however, her warning from last night, maybe me rethink my decision...

"Hey, what happened baby" I attempted to help me out of the car, but Lisa pulled me away, I didn't even touch him.. "What do you want?". Lisa opened her mouth to ask me, perhaps has she forgotten that I am Christians wife to be and not her anymore. . "Lisa, I do not want any trouble". I opened up .. "Hmm! But I do". She gave Christian to one of the workers to take inside, and Immediately they left, she held my hand and pulled me to a corner.. "Nina! Can I advise you?".

EPISODE 27: BIRD'S OF THE SAME FEATHERS.Christian acted strange the entire evening, and even the following morning, he left once again before I could even get a chance to speak with him. Fuck! I had nothing self to crave than to know what he must be hiding; and honestly, I also had my suspicions about mom and Lisa being in cohorts with what is happening..As the day goes by, each other day, I wished I hadn't fallen in love with Christian, maybe my life would have been better and less dramatic..Today the hotel is hosting an all black themed party and Mom wants us to go, despite my disproval, she didn't want to take no for an answer. As usual, Christian met us there.

Are you free?". Talia comes up to my table and asked.."Sure, what's up?". I asked her..And she ogled her

We have nothing to talk about and by the way, why are you here? I asked. "I am here because of you, we have a lot to talk about, Christian". She gave her response.
