38 - Spend the night with me
His eyes bored into hers pleadingly, as he held her close in his arms. He wanted her and she wanted him but if another woman had the ring, and she had his heart, what happens in the future? Why couldn't he take back his ring and end things with Jane? The more Mercedes thought about it, the more uneasy she felt. Seeing she hadn't given him a response, Nathan asked again.
"You ain't gonna leave me are you?" He was nervous. Nathan Legend was nervous and scared of rejection. Well, every man had a breaking point.
Mercedes was going to let him off so easily. She wasn't ready to be a Thanksgiving turkey. "That depends. I can't be with you in secret while another woman carries herself as your fiance. You have to choose."
Nathan's grip tightened around her waist. "No, I only have one woman and that is you but I can't leave Jane because.."
Mercedes felt too weak to hold it in. Why was it so easy when Griffin introduced Penelope but with Nathan, she was be

After Jane stormed out of the office, the first thing she did was call Nathan's dad, explaining everything to him. As expected, Mr Alexander Legend was furious and when he put a call through to Nathan, the latter didn't answer. Therefore, instead of returning to Spain, he stayed back, unknown to Nathan. He had also arranged a spare key to Nathan's penthouse for Jane but surprisingly when she got there, the door wasn't locked. Besides, there was an unexpected presence. The lights were on, and there was a laptop on the centre table. "Nat, are you back?" She called out, knowing how impossible it was because she had left Nathan at the office but, who else could be in his house, except she was in the wrong place. Her heart sank when Lanre descended the stairs from Nathan's room, with a towel wrapped around his waist, his hair dripping wet. "What are you doing here?" she inquired. Disappointment and discontentment nudging her. She knew Lanre but wasn't happy to see h
Mr President's Wild Obsession 40 - No, I'm in love
Well, Nathan wasn't surprised. His father had access to his office but Nathan hated intrusion. His father might have connections somewhat dishonest but Nathan could still bring them down if he wanted. There was just one thing stopping him from fighting back. Respect. "Dad, I demand you request my permission before showing up in my office," Nathan tried to be polite while Mercedes looked for ways to escape the awkward atmosphere. Jane was roasting with Mercedes' presence and if she had her way, she would cover her with fuel and strike a matches to set her ablaze. Mercedes realized that Nathan only had his fathers' hair therefore, his other handsome features might have come from his mum. His dad was also good looking but Nathan stood out. Nathan's father's hot gaze burned her even as he addressed Nathan. "I would have if you had answered your phone." For as long as he was concerned, Mercedes was the one turning his son against him and he hated her f
Mr President's Wild Obsession 41 - My place, or your place
"She's my best friend and I love her," Griffin gulped down a glass of fruit juice.Angie stopped eating and folded her arms to her chest, giving him a quizzical look. "You know what I'm talking about."Griffin found Angie's gaze on him so intense, he couldn't hide it. "Please don't tell her," he finally said.Now it was Angie's turn to feel a twitch in her heart. She thought she had gotten over her feelings for Griffin, only to realise it was just covered, to be uncovered. "Now we are keeping secrets.""Please I don't want you to tell her before I do," Griffin begged her."How long have you been in love with her?""I don't know. I guess I always have. I just haven't realized it because,""Penelope kept you occupied?""Perhaps. Everything between me and Penelope has been sex. I just realized we didn't have a connection. I couldn't even cry when she left me. I guess I wasn't as pained as when Nathan took Mercedes' first tim
Mr President's Wild Obsession 42 - Deadly Nathan
Mercedes heard a knock on her door as soon as she entered her office from Nathans'. She opened it to see a tall handsome man with curly dirty blonde hair, hazel eyes. From how formally dressed he was, she could tell he was here to see Nathan. Before she welcomed him, he extended his hand, "Luke Zion, the new vice president and you are?" "Mercedes Winters, assistant to the president," she smiled and responded. "You must be the first. The Nathan I know doesn't accept female assistants." Mercedes already knew that. "Well, lucky me. I will let him know that you are here," Mercedes said after letting him in and shutting the door. "Let me save you the trouble," Luke was saying when, "Luke," Nathan seethed. Neither Mercedes nor Luke could tell for how long he had been there. "Nathan, we finally met again and got to work together," Luke bloomed with excitement. Nathan turned dismal, "I'm not your friend and will never be. Our r
Mr President's Wild Obsession 43 - Blessed with two beautiful women
Mercedes had gotten used to Nathan purchasing everything she wore therefore, she wasn't surprised they were delivered but what she didn't expect was Griffin sending her a parcel for the occasion as well. His message was simple. 'You've done this for me for as long as I can remember. Please wear this to make me happy tonight.' Her mind was plagued with confusion. Griffin had sent an outfit for Angie as well therefore, it was just natural for Angie to insist that she wore the dress Griffin got her. However, Mercedes knew that Nathan would be displeased. She hadn't seen Griffin in a while and still had the friendship bond with him. She bought him so many clothes and he was just returning a favour. Well, Mercedes hatched a master plan with Angie's help. Life was full of so many incidences but it was also believed, that there was nothing like a coincidence. Everything was already pre-programmed and whatever will be will be. It wasn't a shocker that the qualifying companie
Mr President's Wild Obsession 44 - Stop giving other men attention
The music had changed and Nathan was holding Mercedes so close, she naturally relaxed, her head was on his chest. Griffin was dancing with Angie but couldn't control his spite, moving Angie away from the dance floor, to the garden to talk instead. Jane was boiling like a pot of soup. She couldn't concentrate on the dance steps and kept stepping on Luke, who kept swallowing the pain and forcing awkward smiles. "You know you shouldn't be dancing with me right?" Mercedes lifted her head and asked Nathan, staring into his eyes. Nathan was so smitten, he couldn't keep to the rules of not being seen in public. He dared the outcome. "I could have controlled it if only you stopped doing things to make me jealous." Mercedes pulled away slightly to check his facial expression. It was indeed serious. She didn't know that Nathan would be so jealous of Griffin. But why should she feel guilty? Was it her fault that she couldn't be seen with him in public and couldn't appea
Mr President's Wild Obsession 45 - I'm not leaving anymore.
Mercedes felt triumphant, as she sat in her car and drove to the penthouse. Griffin and Angie were still sleeping but her presence woke them. "Where did you go?" Griffin asked, seeing her dressed casually with her car key in hand. "To see Nathan," she said truthfully. Griffin was furious. "After all, he did to you?" He didn't hide the anger in his voice but was amazed when he heard her next words. "I ended things with him. Here," she pressed the dollar note into Griffin's palm. Both Griffin and Angie were shocked. Nathan Legend let her go without any conditions. Perhaps he would accept and marry Jane after all. "So you'll return the car and we have to move out of here?" Angie asked. Mercedes hadn't thought about that. She was so hasty. If she pulled out of the deal, then she should naturally return his gifts, right? Thinking through everything was so exhausting. "I will return it but not today. I need to sleep." She sat on the bed when Griffin
