Aaron SamuelI walked into our regular club and slumped lazily beside Chris on the couch. "Look who we have here!" He mock and I hissed before asking him in a confused tone. "Are you drunk?""It's still early to be a drunk, Aaron. Chloe would definitely kill me or probably made me sleep outside the house today!" He hissed and I chuckled. They're all madly in love with their wives and I swear, I hate it so much. "Don't y'all have home to go to? Why are y'all here sitting and looking stressed. Does this mean, y'all are having issues with your wives?" I know it can't be possible but, I just feel like pulling their legs but the look on their faces made me burst into a peal of laughter and raise my hand in surrender. "Okay fine, I'm sorry." I chuckled again."You haven't heard yet." Leonard said.With a confused look on my face, I asked. "Heard about what?." "The waitress girl, I over heard Janet talking with the girls on the phone. I think, today is her birthday and they're planning

Sophia CensatioA deep sigh left my lip as I walked into the hospital and look around for a second. I really hate visiting hospitals but with my mother's condition, I have no other choice. I hate the smell especially. It's been a week I last visited her and I'm missing her already. I had tried my best to make either Nicholas or Janet come with me but all to avail. Janet had a maths competition to partake in school while Nicholas is still not yet ready to listen to me. He refuses to come with me despite trying my best to make him see things in good way. I walked into her room and took a seat right beside her bed. I hold her cold hands and caressed it softly. "Mom, how are you feeling? yesterday was my birthday. Both Nic, Janet and my friends made it memorable for me. I never expect all that they did for me. I was so happy and felt loved. I came to tell you this because I'm sure you're going to be happy about it.""They all got me different gifts, It felt like a dream. I'm sure, you

Sophia Censatio I finally got both couples' attention as I said to them, I'm taking my leave. "I need to take my leave now."Just a few seconds back, it felt like I wasn't here with them. The look on Chris's face is enough to prove that he truly loves his wife so much. He was staring at her all through, lovingly.Not only are they both lucky to have each other but also love each other dearly. They're so perfect, rich, and cute. I'm positive, their kids will get the beautiful genes of their parents."Sophia, care for a coffee?." Chloe asked."That's a very fantastic idea but, I'm so sorry Chloe, I need to leave now else, Aaron might fire me without any consideration." I apologized with a puppy face."I can't believe you choose that jerk over me" She pouts dramatically."Babe, stop it okay? You're aware of how important our work is... I'm sure, Ms. Censatio is only being professional. This is about her boss's work. Ms. Censatio.. you can take your leave now. Thank you for stopping by

Sophia CensatioI suddenly squealed in excitement as I jumped on Seb taking him off guard. We just found the file, the complete one!"Thank you so much, Seb. Thank you." I said as I glue my body to him tightly. He chuckled and rough my hair before saying. "Come on, you need to hurry else, he won't be nice to you" "You're right." I said and broke the hug. "I will see you later, okay? Lunch on me!." I added and ran out of the office.I placed the complete file on his table and stood there smiling like an idiot who has just won a lottery. He went through it carefully, one after the other while I stood there, waiting for him to stay something. He didn't even offer me a seat.Meanie!!!!While he was done, he placed the file aside and look straight into my eyes. "I told you to get me the file at all costs, did I ask you to hug a guy?." He said.Huh? Hug a guy? What is he talking about? Wait, what?!- I mentally exclaimed.Don't tell me he... He was... He was watching me now?"H...how did

Sophia CensatioI looked at the phone and smiled as his name showed on my screen. "Nic!! I missed you." I said in an exciting tone."I missed you too, baby girl. You never bothered to check up on me ever since the day I called you last. You seem to be love your new work and you forget your friend in return.""That's not the case, Nic. I've... I've just been busy and going through some things at the moment, that's why. I'm sorry."Now, I feel bad. He has always been treating me right, always been there for me when I needed him but, I forgot about him all of a sudden. I'm such a bad friend."Hey! Don't feel bad, I was only kidding.""You have to make it up to me, let's have dinner tonight. We need to talk, Sophia... Please." He said in a desperate tone.This is unlike him, I hope everything is fine. "Of course! I can't wait." I answered. He might be my friend but, he doesn't know much about me yet. I haven't let him in. "Okay, see you tonight. I will give you a call or probably, pic

Aaron Samuel"Agreed, you lost all trust that you have for me but, you still want me, Aaron. You still love me and we can work this out. I know I did hurt you and I'm sorry for doing that." She said.She was right. How could I have forgotten that she knows so much about me. Deep down in me, I still feel something for her. My heart still beat weirdly when she's around me. But, despite realising all of this, I feel no excitement around her. I feel nothing in me. My heart might still beat weirdly around her but, I feel no happiness just in same way, I felt whenever Sophia is close to me. I'm trying hard to deny this feeling but, it's not working for me. Sophia is making me weak slowly and I don't like that idea at all."I know, you hardly take your meal especially when you engross yourself too much with work. I'm here now, for you. I brought you your favorite to eat and please, do not turn me down. I work hard to make this to your taste" She cleared my table and placed the lunch box on

Aaron Samuel"Please Aaron, I can-""You were not the one who got hurt, I did! Because you hurt me, I'm not healed yet, and now, you tell me to forget about everything that has happened?" I burst angrily at her. "I'm sorry okay? I know you're hurt and that's why I'm here, Aaron. I'm here to set things right between us. I've once lost you and I'm not ready to lose you again. I can make it up to you only if you give me the chance to. I'm ready to do anything just to set things right again between us" She said as she caress my cheek. Seeing her like this, I can't say or do anything other than a deep sigh that left my lip."I'm aware that dad wants you to take over his empire and he has been pressuring you to get married before he does. I'm here now, that's why I'm here to help you take over the empire. I heard, becoming the owner means, you'll become the richest man in the whole world. No one can beat you, not even the president of this country. I'm aware of how much the empire means

Sophia CensatioAll through the ride, I was thinking of Seb. I had promised I was going to treat him to lunch this afternoon but, Aaron had to show up and won't let me be. He wouldn't even give me the chance to talk. He kept threatening me he was going to kiss me if I let a word out. Seb on the other hand has been calling me but I can't pick up his call. I decide to send him a text.Hey! I'm sorry, something came up. I'm with Aaron right now. I'm going to make it up to you next time.Aaron's car came to halt and we both hopped down. I stood in front of the same restaurant we both came to eat at the other day and stood there looking staring around, stunned. Is this man joking right now? Why is he not scared of the paparazzi? What if, they took pictures and make false news about us? "Wh... Why are we here?" I asked him but the idiot only stood there smirking at me. "The last time we came here, you left me all alone. I couldn't even pay for the meal we took! Your mom had to!." I bu
