"We'll burst the door open then yell 'HAPPY BIRTHDAY'." Lila whispered.
"Silly, it's not Mia's Birthday." I whisper-yelled with a roll of my eyes.
"Oh, yeah. Sorry, again. I'm just too excited, so it's making me confused."
I glanced at the small cake in her hands then back at her face. "Be sensible."
She rolled her eyes. " Whatever. Don't forget; Mom, not Mia."
"Yeah, right."&n
[RECAP: IMOGEN WENT TO A COMPANY AND ACCIDENTALLY SET IT ON FIRE WHICH SUFFOCATED HER.]~ HAMES HENDRIX ~"That's it? I'm done? Whoa, I didn't see that coming." I shut my laptop with a graceful smile on. If I knew I'd be done with work at the office so early, I'd have gone with Imogen to Mr. Hawthorn.Remembering the closeness between Imogen and I earlier today; how my arms were around her, my hand on her chin, the way her beautiful lips moved when she said 'I love you too' (ignoring the fact that I made her say it), made my smile extend.I had never been this happy in my entire life. Being with Imogen was the greatest joy of my life and I couldn't wait to have her as mine completely. I assured mys
~ IMOGEN ~"Get married to you?" I frowned. "How on Earth is that possible?""It is possible because it'll happen. Forty Million dollars isn't such a small amount of money but for you, I'll give everything I have. You caused the fire, I'll repay it, then you'll get married to me.""The fire wasn't absolutely my fault. The stupid man had candles everywhere. Why would there be candles in an office?""And how did the candles start the fire? On their own?" He raised an eyebrow with another smirk tempting to appear on his lips."Of course not. I wanted to view the fireworks and shifted the curtains. I didn't know it was going to touch the fire from the candle. If the c
"Hey, Lila. Can you come over here?" I asked, crossing my legs while sipping from the juice box."I already left home and I'm heading to your house right now. I'll be there in a few seconds, or a minute. Bye, I have to check something in this stupid car." She groaned."Thanks, babe." I ended the call, dropped the phone and juice box on the table, resting my head and legs on each arm of the chair and resumed watching the television. I had lost interest in the movie long ago but I hadn't turned it off due to the situation at hand ringing in my head.Nikita chuckled. I glanced at the dining chair she had pulled to sit in a corner of the living room. She was grinning from ear to ear and her face was crimson.
"Mom, this makes absolutely no sense." I said to Mia, scanning myself in the mirror. Though Kim had done wonders to my face and hair to make me look more stunning than ever and the wedding dress was screaming its expensiveness, this entire day was a shithole to me."How and why?" Nikita rolled her eyes, standing in front of me to view herself in the mirror. "Whoa, I'm in love with how I look.""How and why? I'm literally being forced into this marriage, it's really wrong. Hames has proven to be a terrible person once again." I walked up to Mia."I agree it was wrong of him to force you but I'd definitely do that also if I were in his place. To have the man I want as mine completely?" Nikita scoffed. "He waited for too long. I'd have done this the next month after
There was a knock on the bedroom door. I raised my head from my phone. "Come in."The doorknob turned then the door was pushed inwards. A petite redhead with hazel eyes strolled in and sauntered to me."Good afternoon. I'm Faith Daniel, your personal maid." She introduced herself with a polite bow of her head."Oh…" I trailed off, furrowing my eyebrows in confusion. "Why do I need a personal Maid?"She wore an angelic smile that made me love her immediately. "To help you out with anything you'd need, help you out with your dress, your hair, everything. We can be friends too." She winked."Friends?"
Gosh, I hated terrible dramas like this. She was in love with Hames?"Okay, so what?" I asked indifferently.Confusion was evident on her entire face. "So what? I'm warning you. You're married to Hames but he's mine. You should be scared of me, I'll get you out of his life."I chuckled, earning a confused glare from her then I chuckled again before bursting into laughter."Is this a joke to you? Do I sound funny?" My laughter was clearly frustrating her."It's kinda funny." I ended my laughter and rose to my feet, holding her shoulders. "Listen here, babe." I brushed her shoulders with my palms. "I don't have any interest in Ha
I heard laughing noises and it annoyed me because it was coming from Amanda, and Hames too but I was mostly irritated by Amanda's laughter. I strolled down the stairs and sauntered to Hames. A frown etched on my face at the extreme closeness between their bodies. "It's not true." Hames smiled. Yeah, one beautiful smile I had to admit I loved… liked, the one that could make a person's heart— oh, I was supposed to be focusing my attention on Amanda and not Hames' smile. "It is. Gosh, you love me so much." Amanda cooed, grinning as wide as ever. I knew she had seen me through her sideways glance else she was partially blind. "Uh?" Hames sounded confused.
Hames was in the bathroom while I was done dressing. I wondered how long he was going to spend. I wore my heart-shaped earrings then a feather boa over my shoulders, whether or not it matched my not-so-revealing dress.I admired my hot self in the mirror for a while before deciding to take a couple of photos I was going to post on my social media accounts. People were asking about me and Hames but he didn't want to let the media know yet for some reasons.I decided to take more photos without the feather boa but I was interrupted by a call from Tyler.I answered the call and placed the phone on my ear. "Hey, Tyler.""Hi, babe." Babe? He ought not to refer to a married woman like that. "I hope you a
