Dawn watched as Hailey walked the flight of stairs, her hips swaying left and right, which by the way she was doing intentionally to spike Natalie. She looked around the room, noting everyone's expression. Chase had a dumbfounded look on his face. He stood up from where he sat on the couch and headed towards Natalie. All the while, Dawn had her eyes on him.“What the hell was that about? Huh?” Chase said through gritted teeth grabbing a hold of Natalie's arm aggressively. His voice wasn't loud, infact he seemed like he was whispering but the sitting room was extremely quiet, so his words were loud and clear to everyone's hearing.“Get your hands off me.” Natalie seethed but Chase pulled her closer to him. He narrowed his eyes and dragged her up the stairs too. The sound of a door banging indicated the end of Chase and Natalie's drama. Or at least to their hearing and seeing, it had ended. But they all knew that there was going to be a lot of drama behind those doors that were just ban

Natalie turned completely such that her back was pressed to the tinted windows of the car. The cold from the air conditioning system in car which had made the windows cold seeped into her exposed back making her shiver slightly.“Yes, Chase or anyone at all can't be trusted. You're naive, childish and in love so you won't understand what I'm trying to do.” Natalie narrowed her eyes to slits.What does this old man mean by childish?“Chase can be trusted. Do you even have any idea of how he's being pressured at work? And you're telling me he can't be trusted?” Franklin turned to face Natalie by just a tilt of his head. He raised a single brow in question.“How does him being pressured at work and trust correlate?” Natalie folded her lips into her mouth. She raised her hand and opened her mouth to talk but she didn't have anything to say.“You don't realize that he can fake the marriage just to get what he wants. Men will do anything for what they want, Chase is a man.” Natalie wasn't g

Dawn walked up the stairs, wondering where Hailey was. She suddenly decided to 'go to bed' when she knew very well that she was supposed to tuck her in, read her a bedtime story and kiss her goodnight. It was basically their routine.She headed to her father's room, a pout on her pretty face. She was going to talk to her father and wish him Goodnight then tell Hailey to tuck her in.Loud laughter emanated from the slightly ajar door of his room. She peeped in and her face broke into a smile at the sight in front of her. She pushed the door open slightly and looked on with a grin on her face.Her father and Natalie were laughing with Hailey's head thrown back and her hand constantly tapping Chase's shoulder while Chase was looking at her with a smile. She started laughing all over pointing in Chase's face. Anyone would've gotten annoyed at her laughter seeming as it was directed to him. But he had a wide smile on his face.Dawn sneakily entered the room and looked around. She saw her fa

The next day, Chase gets up very early from his not so great night rest. Through out the course of the night, he kept on twisting and turning on his bed.His mind very much occupied on his child's Nanny. These days he'd always try to remember when things were not this way.When he was still a man who was stalked by greedy women poising as nannies. When he had not yet fallen into the blissful abyss of deep love for Hailey.At some point in time, during the night, he tried to recollect just when his feelings changed for her. Was it when she defied the odds, and made him apologize for raising his voice at her?When he realized just how much stability and sync she'd brought into his little family- Natalie out of his picture.Or was it that very day when he was locked in the closet with her, the very first time he had a taste of the perfect deliciousness that was her lips. When he kissed her so gently and short but enough to leave her permanently imprinted in his mind.He could have gone o

Ciara entered the house, throwing a smile at the security guard by a door who seemed to have a problem with her presence in the house. Maybe it was because she had a fight with him the first time she came over. Apparently, Hailey didn't let the man know that a certain girl called Ciara was coming.And when Ciara came, she had picked a fight with him. She even insulted him.Ciara lowered her head when his frown got deeper and hurried her steps. He started walking towards her and she started speed walking.So help me God let me enter the house before this man can reach me.But her prayer wasn't answered because the man soon stepped in front of her just when she was on the front porch.“Who are you here to see?” Ciara rolled her eyes. The man was just looking for a way to pick a fight with her. He couldn't stop her from the gate because he wasn't the one she found there. But it seemed he was hell bent on talking to her.“We both know you know who I'm here to see.” The man was about to spe
