A WEEK TO PETAL’S INCIDENTWe all slept over at Irene’s place on the night of the reunion after a long talk into the night. The next morning, we were woken up with the notification that someone was there to pick up Monica.“Me? Pick me up? Who?” she queried with a mouth full of toothpaste’s foam“Your father’s secretary is here. He said your father instructed him to pick you up” Irene passed the message across clearly and she scoffedShe didn’t even reply and went back to the bathroom to finish up what she was doing. We thought she would not give in to the request with the way she was just going on about her business without bothering that someone was outside waiting for her until she dressed up and picked her bag.Irene sprang up “You are going with him?” she asked and Monica noddedHer reply got Irene puzzled because no one believed that she would want to go back inside that house when she got kicked out by her father and have been left hanging for several weeks.“Let’s calm ourselv

She was so excited about the hangout on her nineteenth birthday even though she was hooked in the hospital but till she drew her last breath, she had her hope high that she would be able to meet them” the mother explained, dabbing the edge of her eyes with her apron to avoid the tears from dropping.The father added, “Matina never for once forgot where she came from and that didn’t bother us too. We understood that she grew up there all her life and her heart must still lie with them so we made sure to give her the best treatment. It’s a pity that she left us so soon. Also, she didn’t want to be remembered as a Fren

S STANLEY’S POV Immediately I stepped down from the car and walked to the place where Petals was waiting for me with her friend, the friend suddenly made an expression that got me startled. “Oh my God! Matthew! How come I am seeing you in person? This is fascinating” she screamed loudly as soon as she set her eyes on me, making me pause in surprise. “Who? Are you talking to me?” I asked, pointing to my chest and she nodded happily “I am sorry but you have got the wrong person” was my response but she shook her head that she was sure that she wasn’t wrong about what she was saying Petals had to step into the awkward situation and cautioned her that I was not Matthew but Stanley. “Tolu, what do you mean by Matthew? This is Stanley, he’s the one I told you about” she muttered to her but it was loud enough for me to hear. “Oops!

I was feeling happy, thankful with a little bit of naughty and he was quick to pick up the signal because immediately, he wrapped his big hands around my waist to keep me still till he was done.Since there was a button that controlled the door at his table, I needed not fear that anybody could come in at any time and just relaxed in his arms.“Baby, do you think I would be able to concentrate with this? Your whole existence distracts my sanity” he whispered close to my ears and I smirked, trying so hard not to snort.I only adjusted myself well to what he said and I could hear his soft grunt in my ear before he leant closer to me and aimed for my lips. I closed my eyes waiting for whatever it is to come but I felt his hand slid across my neck and heard something snap.My eyes opened alongside the sound to see him smiling as he was looking at me ke

THE PRESIDENT'S FAVORITE JOURNALIST 84. JOINT FORCE
MONICA’S POVI was thoroughly disturbed about the feedback my secretary brought me about the people that I told her to contact and schedule a meeting with. I knew it would be an easy move but I was not expecting such a large percent to turn me down immediately.“I thought they said they were loyal to my mother, why are they refusing to help her daughter then? With everything I have done for them in the company to show that I am capable of carrying on her legacy, they still do not trust me enough?” I kept muttering to myself as I drove to the address Madam Antonio sent to me.I was glad that I accepted her lunch invitation, if not I would have been curled up in my office and getting depressed over the fact that what I wanted was not working. With those thoughts running through my mind, I pulled up in front of the cozy restaurant and was ushered immediately without even asking me any question about my identity.“The madam had given us the instruction to usher you inside immediately you
