REGGIE AND CHRIS- Deidre
REGGIE AND CHRIS- Deidre
Reggie tried to keep her cool as she watched Deidre alight from his rickety car.
If someone ever told her that she’d be this excited to hear and see the car that had annoyed her pretty much over the past two years, Reggie would have called the person a serious liar and probably would have had them charged for treason, or maybe worse… like cast into the dungeons.
But here she was, truly fawning over it, and barely being able to do something about it.
“So you dump all the work on me and take off on some Cinderella adventure, leaving me to deal with the real world, huh?” Deidre started dramatically as soon as he stepped out of the car. “See? I had always known you were a bitch.”
Reggie laughed and wrapped her arms around her assistant in a hug. “Oh, Deidre… what a dramatic way to tell me you have missed me.” She teased. “You know, you could have just said the words

REGGIE AND CHRIS- Beautiful start, ugly endChris had always thought that Deidre was a woman!So he hadn’t even bothered to meet her after allowing her access into his house.You can imagine his surprise therefore when he suddenly heard purely masculine laughter wafting into his study.

THE JOURNEY TO PARADISE REGGIE AND CHRIS- Bleeding
REGGIE AND CHRIS- BleedingTwo whole months.Two whole months since the incident, and things were just as tensious as before.So much so that Chris was already so full of regret.If someone had told him that his short outburst would have launched such a devastating aftermath, he probably would have called them a liar, but things were actually that bad.Reggie did not talk to him.Like at all.She didn’t eat his foods, choosing instead to live off fruits and vegetables, and other stuff that didn’t require much any complex skill.The tension had been so unbearable that Chris had gotten a housemaid to come live with them. He was the one who had ruined their budding relationship,She didn’t have to suffer for it?Fortunately, Reggie had hit it off with the maid, Janet… so at least Chris didn’t have to worry about that aspect of their life anymore. He had someon
THE JOURNEY TO PARADISE REGGIE AND CHRIS- New Beginnings
REGGIE AND CHRIS- New Beginnings “So you’re trying to tell me that our child is perfectly fine?” Chris asked in complete confusion. “Yes, Mr. Ayettey…” The doctor assured him with a wide grin. “But, I thought bleeding was a sign of a miscarriage,” Reggie interrupted, equally confused. “It is, but that is not always the case, Mrs. Ayettey—” “Oh, uh… we’re not married.” She corrected, a light blush coating her cheeks… one that had Chris grinning like an awestruck idiot. “My apologies, then. Anyway, as I was saying… bleeding isn’t always a sign of a miscarriage. It can be sign of implantation of the embryo in the uterus, like yours was… there are other reasons for bleeding during pregnancy, but I wouldn’t want to bore you to death with all of that.” He finished. “But I thought implantation and everything that had to do with that occurred in the first trimester?” Reggie asked after a moment’s thought. “Yes, great question.”
THE JOURNEY TO PARADISE 1. THE PHONE CALL
"Hey... sorry I'm late." Louisa smiled apologetically at her best friend Naa Larley as she took her seat."I can't believe you ordered without me." She complained, her tone light and playful.It was their lunch break, and despite being very busy, successful women, with their own companies, they always met for lunch at their usual hangout, Jerry's...at least twice a week.They had been doing this for almost ten years; you could even call it their thing now. There were sometimes hindrances, with the occasional lateness like today, but they never cancelled on each other.Naa laughed. "When I called and you told me you were stuck in the lunch break traffic around the independence square...I thought you were going to break our ten year record finally; plus… a girl's gotta eat."Louisa shook her head playfully.For the next hour, they filled each other up with gossip and long talk amidst good food and wine.Jerry's was truly the best.Time ra
THE JOURNEY TO PARADISE 2. NO VIOLENCE
"Miss Mensah, you are to be present at the headmaster's office at 3 for a brief meeting concerning your daughter." Someone Louisa was assuming was the secretary replied."But is Isabel alright?" Louisa asked perplexed."Yes ma'am. It's not really a health related issue. Everything is alright."The secretary's voice toned down into conspiratorial whisper. "Heads up, it's actually a minor issue, nothing to worry about. Well in my opinion."Louisa sighed in relief. "Thank you very much then. I'll be there."At thirteen and in junior high school, this was the first time Louisa was being summoned to her daughter's school for something that wasn't a general issue. Her baby was a good kid; never got into trouble, she really hoped it wasn't a serious problem.She glanced at the wall clock in her office. It was 1:45 and she really had to leave if she wanted to be at the school on time. Mensah and Associates was located in the central business district of Accra and her daugh
THE JOURNEY TO PARADISE 3. SUPERMOM
Louisa yawned tiredly as she combed her hair. She hadn't been able to get much sleep last night; she had been angry as fuck. Suicide wasn't a small issue and she was really itching to sue foolish Mr. Phillips to the moon and back for being so stupid. She had a lot going on her mind right now but she couldn't really do much till she had spoken to Melissa.She heard her phone ring and rushed to the bedroom to answer it."Hey girl." Naa Larley beamed as soon as Louisa answered the video call."Jesus, you look like shit even with the makeup, I wonder how you'd look without it then." Naa commented.Louisa rolled her eyes. Trust Naa Larley to tell it like it is."Aren't you going to work today?" She asked."No." Naa responded."Remember the wedding in Kumasi I told you about? Well the engagement is on Friday so I have to be there today. I'm actually en route atm… I have like two hours to go."Naa Larley was into event planning and she was dam
THE JOURNEY TO PARADISE 4. ONE DAY AT A TIME
Louisa was surprised to hear laughter as she stepped into her house that afternoon.... or should I say dusk. Her watch read 5:00 pm; definitely dusk. You could even call it evening.Her mum and Isa and a pretty chubby girl who she was assuming was Melissa were in the kitchen making dinner."Hey guys." She spoke out in a bid to get their attention, and it worked."Mummy!!!" Isa exclaimed and with a run, crushed her mother in a hug.Melissa laughed. "Aren't you like too old for this Is?"Meanwhile Isa was telling her mother in an undertone, "Be nice mum, please."Turning to face her friend, the teenager shrugged. "I know I'm too old for that, but I'm mummy's only baby and if I don't do these little things, no one would."Isabel and Melissa burst into laughter at the horrified faces of Louisa and her mother.Mrs. Mensah shook her head before joining in on the laughter. Wiping a tear from her eye, she said, “Jesus Lou, she's even more savage
THE JOURNEY TO PARADISE 5. BLAST FROM THE PAST
The door to her office banged shut, causing Louisa to look up in alarm to realise it was only Naa Larley. She opened her mouth to ask what her friend was doing at her office so early in the day but halted when she saw the look on Naa Larley's face.Standing up worriedly, she asked. "What's wrong Naa? Is everything okay?"Naa raised a hand signalling for a moment as she breathed in deeply to slow down her breathing. But she realised Louisa was getting more anxious so she whispered in between breaths."Will....William is he..here Lou."Louisa's eyes widened in fear. "Here as in here in the firm?"Naa Larley shook her head. "No he's back in the country."Louisa started to tremble. "You're lying Naa...right? Please tell me it's some joke, like maybe its April fool's. It's first April right?" Reaching out for the calendar on the desk, a glance told her it was March 26th, and that's when her heart literally stopped."How can I joke about something like t
