Chapter 92.Soft rays of aun sip into the bedroom through small spaces in between the blinds and fall softly on my face, my eyes flutter open and I try to move but become cautious of a gentle weight on my lower abdomen.My eyes trail down and I find Elliott's arm cradling me in a warm embrace, I try not to move too much as I look over my shoulder to get a glimpse of him. His eyes were closed and his breathing which fell lightly on my face was steady. I turned back and tried to stealthily get off his bed when his muscles tensed suddenly, holding me in place. I froze in shock at the sudden contact then I felt his body scuttle closer toward me till there wasn't an inch left between us."Can we just stay like this for a little while longer?" He asked softly. I felt blood rush to my cheeks and a warmth coursing slowly through my body at his words. I eased into him and he pulled me deeper into his arms before muttering something I couldn't quite make out.Soon after when I was convinced th

Chapter 94 Elliot was gone by the time I had woken up. I reached for my phone to check the time when I noticed a new mail, I quickly tapped on the icon and read through the message. It was a request from the agency I'd just worked with concerning a contract for a weekend show they were running. I contemplated whether or not to reply to them and then decided against it. It would be better to let the firm know beforehand. I shook off the fatigue that was weighing me down as u rubbed my eyelids then I got up and went to the bathroom to freshen up. I draped a silk undergarment over my body before heading to the kitchen. The helpers had resumed work and there were a few of them cleaning and arranging as I walked down the stairs. They greeted me warmly and I nodded politely in response. As I reached the kitchen I found the cook chopping vegetables on the kitchen island. I decided to let her do the cooking that mlenkbg since I was still tired and Elliott was not around. I greeted her be

Chapter 96 My first week with Elliott had come to an end and I had just one week left before I would return to stay with Kathy. As I prepared a smoothie for that morning I made plans for the day. I decided it would be best if I spent quality time with my father as I had only been visiting briefly previously. Elliott came downstairs and kissed me on the cheek before taking a seat at the dining table. "Good morning babe," he greeted. "Good morning," I said as the blender went off and I made to fill two cups with its contents. "So, any plans for today?" He asked as he watched me carefully. I picked up the cups and walked to the table, then I handed him a cup before sitting down with mine. "Well, I'm going to be spending some time with my dad and then maybe head out a little, I'll most likely come back really late," I said. He nodded in understanding as he brought the cup from his lips and placed it on the table. "That's fine, I don't really have much planned today so maybe I'll visit

Chapter 98 My eyes followed Sharon as she sat down beside Kathy. She placed her bag on the table before shifting on her chair. She looked at both of us before turning to Kathy. "And who are you?" She asked skeptically, making me cock my eyebrows a bit. Kathy ignored the rudeness in her tone and gave her a warm smile. "I'm Kathy, Zora's friend," She said as she offered her hands for a handshake. Sharon glared at her hand spitefully before turning back to me. "What is this? Why are you walking around with charity cases leaching on you?" She asked scornfully. A sudden wave of shock at her words held me glued to her chair and I noticed Kathy's jaw drop from the side of my eyes. "What did you just ask me?" I spat stiffly and she chuckled. "Oh don't tell me I hurt your feelings, you mean to tell me after everything Elliott did to get you where you are right now, you're going to waste all of that on some backward lowlife," "Don't talk about my friend like that again if you want to kee

Chapter 100.I woke up early the next morning and rested in my bed for a bit before getting ready for work. My mind flashed back to the day before and the visit I paid to my dad.He had been engaged in a discussion with Linda when I came and was so excited to see me that he was ready to end their conversation but I declined and he offered that I join them instead.We sat together and talked about his health and how he'd been recuperating just fine over the past few weeks. He asked if that meant his weekly checkups were done with and we burst out laughing before Linda explained that he'd have to hold up just a while longer.We talked about other things before Linda went to make dinner, I joined hereinafter and we all ate together before I went back home. Being with them handy did much of a good job of keeping my mind from Elliott but I had to pretend in order not to get my father worried.I picked up my phone and turned it on, my eyes subconsciously searched the screen for a missed cal
