Love’s Fortune Thirteen
As we walked into the private elevator, we both remained silent as different things ran through our mind. I wasn't a jinx, else, I would have been able to decipher what he was thinking. The only thing I was sure of at this moment was the fact that my head was running a hindered miles a minute as I tried to understand what was going on.Getting out of the elevator, we walked into his office and Arthur waited till I had gone inside so he could eventually lock the door by himself.“Okay, so I don't understand. Why was it so important that I saw this particular guy?” Arthur asked as he sat on top of his table waiting for me to give him details and I had to rub the center of my forehead before analyzing it inside of my brain and give him an answer that was reasonable.“Leia called to my attention that the guy was with Vladimir yesterday so I thought that seeing him in the company today was kind of absurd. Now we know his face, he might be one clue and lead that we have now.” I stated and A
Love’s Fortune One
I sat in the luxurious room my husband called his study, sunlight filtered through the stained window panes; around me, almost every piece of design here was gold, the mosaic on the wall was gold, the shelves had golden handles and golden design, the chair I sat in, and other furnitures and accessories in here. I sighed my husband is a wealthy, multi-billionaire CEO, who had companies all over the world, (including Africa), but here I sat, resentful, even with all the splendor around me. I had been married to my husband for a month now, we slept in the same room, on the same bed, but kept reasonable distance, not that he is bad-looking or anything, in fact he is a sight to behold, I had never seen a man as handsome as he is, is just that I had been married to him, by my parents, who would never want to miss an opportunity to get their daughter married to a wealthy CEO “Good morning” came a deep voice, I whirled towards towards to the sound of the voice
Love’s Fortune Two
I sat in the study, proofreading the new novel I was writing, beside me was a bottle of ice soda, yes! soda gives me inspiration when reading, besides me, on the floor, lay Arthur’s pet Rottweiler, the dog had nearly tore me off, the day it saw me, Arthur had to calm it down, I don’t know if Arthur explained to the dog that I was his wife, because the next day, the dog had sauntered up to me and wagged it’s tail, it quickly became friends with me. “Jeez! Flint I don’t even know what to write” I said and Flint whined and stared at me, sometimes I think the dog understood a lot, he jumped into my lap and used a paw to close the book as if telling me to forget about writing for now, I laughed and rubbed his head, he jumped down and I walked out of the study with he on my trail. I entered the large hall and met Arthur standing, his back facing me as he grabbed a bottle of beer from the bar, he poured it into a glass. So he was back, I wanted to quietly slip back into
Love’s Fortune Three
I stared at my laptop, researching on how to win a man’s heart, but all of them were useless, after last night at the grave, Arthur’s attitude had become worse, he rarely talked to me and he just completely ignored me, he looked scared, anytime I told him, I wanted to tell him something, I knew he didn’t want my love, this should have discouraged any normal woman, but instead I fell more deeply in love, I would sit for hours picturing him kissing me, telling me he loved me, the most crazy thing now was I would imagine him making love to me and any time he comes, I would peek through the door watching him undress himself. Once, he had suggested we have separate rooms but i quickly told his mom, who came and ordered him to call the idea quits, Arthur had given me the stink eye and ignored me. I picked my phone, a brand new iPhone 13 and dialed Brielle’s line. She picked at the first ring. “Morgan!! What’s up? How’s Arthur” she asked and I smiled sad
Love’s Fortune Four
We got home and Pedro rushed out and opened the door for us, I smiled at him and walked in, Arthur tossed Pedro a huge wad of money. “Give it to your momma, tell her I said hi” Pedro grinned. “Thank you, sir” he said and Arthur nodded and strode to the bedroom and I followed suit. He opened the door and sat on the huge bed. “So, who was that man?” I asked, and Arthur frowned, he looked cute when he frowned. “He is an old enemy, he sees himself as my rival” Arthur said, he tossed his hair back, the move was so sensual that heat pooled between my legs, my breath caught. “He was kinda looking at me weird” i confessed and Arthur eyes filled with fire, he stood. “Be careful of that creep” he growled and I smiled, suddenly becoming bold. “Are you concerned?” I teased and Arthur scowled at me, he stepped closer but I was done being intimidated, he needed to know my feelings. “I love you Arthur Stone,”
Love’s Fortune Five
The next morning, I woke up to an empty bed as usual and I wondered how someone who slept so late could wake up as early as my husband Alex did and it was kind of frightening. The only thing that seemed to sit well with me as the fact that though he was a morning person and an early riser, he wasn't grumpy unless he wanted to feign it so he didn't have to talk with me which I had already gotten used to anyways.I got out of bed immediately and went to the bathroom, turning the faucet on, I scooped water and poured on my face, washing my face and at the same time trying to fully wake myself up.The bathtub was kind of heated and warm which made me know that he had probably taken his bath and was preparing for work. After washing my face, I walked out hoping to see him in the parlor but he wasn't there either and it made me all the more worried.This was clearly few minutes to seven am so there was no way he had already gone to work right?That was when I heard the soundof his car engin
Love’s Fortune Six
Heads swiveled as all eyes turned to stare at the outsider who had just interrupted the meeting as I heaved heavily due to the adrenaline rush and all the running to this place which was actually worth it.“I'm sorry, sir. We would take the deranged lady out.” One of the security said as they rushed in dragging me out while I locked eyes with Alex who had his gaze fixated on me with shock.“You left the briefcase at home, I saw it contained some documents that you might need so I rushed over immediately.” I said whilst the guards dragged me out stretching forth the briefcase that I held in my arms like a newborn.“Liam, take your hands off her.” Alex growled and everyone left me immediately as he stood from his seat and approached me while other members stared in confusion as to what was happening.Of course, they didn't know I was his wife since we had a low and private wedding and I don't know if he was ready to let that public know of our marriage though it was arranged.Covering t
Love’s Fortune Seven
“I believe you heard my question!!” Arthur stated, punctuating each word with aver in his voice and I couldn't help but think of when he stated doing things that were in my best interest.As a matter of fact, I was trying to do my best to please him and get his mind off his late lover but this man seating across the dinning table, definitely isn't my husband. When did he transform that I don't know of?“Your secretary.” I finally said and he sat back resignedly on the chair. After staring at me for some minutes like he was studying me, he picked up his phone and punched in a few numbers.At the second ring, the recipient picked up the call and he bellowed into the speaker;“Tell Miss Kira to clear out her table before I get to work tomorrow and put up a vacance for—” He was instructing them to fire his secretary and no matter how that made warmth spread all over my chest, I didnt want the turn of events to be that way especially as I already mapped out a plan.“No, Arthur. You're not
