"Do you have any idea on why he wants to renew the contract?" Abigail asked Walter as they walked into her office."I don't know ma'am." Walter replied. He was equally surprised when Mr Christopher called him and passed the message across. "I guess it's because he heard we were looking for other clients. Now he knows why Darlington Inc. needs Weston corps more." She said in glee, taking out some files from the office cabinet and then arranged the flies inside her bag. "Alright now, let's go. We don't want to keep Mr Christopher waiting." ******"Mr. Christopher. I see you changed your mind." Abigail said all smiles shaking Mr Christopher's hand."Indeed, I did." Mr. Christopher replied, laughing. Abigail sat down and so did Mr. Christopher. "So here is the contract.""Before we go into business, there is something I would like to say first." Mr. Christopher said putting a halt to Abigail's movements.A puzzled Abigail replied, "All right. What might that be.""I want to start by a

"How could you have carried out such a decision without thinking it through? Just when things were going great for you, you had a bar, and a fat bank account balance... money you would spend years working for and won't still be able to earn that money all at once and have it seat in your bank account. And even though you know this, you still decided to throw it all away.""Why brother?" Hailey knew she shouldn't be angry that her brother choose to end the contract, because she knew very well that he must have had a tangible reason. But the fact that she doesn't know how to come up with her Harvard school fees makes her want to be a little bit selfish."You would not understand, okay. Just drop it." Marcel replied her calmly focusing on the laptop he had in-front of him. He had to look for jobs, at least two jobs.. so he would be able to take care of his bills. "Then make me understand brother, why did you cut off something that was so good for us. You owned a freaking bar and it was

Abigail gazed into his eyes finding his blue eyes peculiar…. entranced by it. She had never been up close with a man before, this is a first. She knew if she moved her lips just a little bit forward, their lips would touch.. for some reason she wanted to know what it would be like to kiss him when she's not drunk. "Could you please get up, you are becoming too heavy." Marcel said breaking her chain of thoughts.Abigail let's out a series of cough, her cheeks as red as a tomato. "I'm so sorry." She mumbles getting off Marcel's body. Marcel scratched the back of his neck feeling so awkward, "It's fine.""We should.. uhm... go back to the sitting room." Abigail stuttered, she couldn't understand why she was having speech problems. She wasn't one to stutter, not even if there was a gun pointed at her head."Yeah, we should." Marcel concurred.The both of them walked towards the door and only ended up crashing into each other. "Ouch." Abigail cried out rubbing her forehead, a pout on

"What's going on here, why is she here?" Marcel asked trying to comprehend what was happening."I told Rachael the truth about our contract marriage." Abigail informed him, smiling so excitedly."You.. you.. you did what?" Marcel didn't know what to make of the news or how to react to it. Should he be happy that the woman he loves, now knows of the secret he has been hiding from her and there won't be a need for him to lie to her anymore.But he just couldn't understand what might had been going through his fake wife's head, when she made such decisions. "I just felt that I should reunite you two lovers. I felt this was a way for me to show my gratitude, for what you did for me with Mr Christopher." "Well.., I would leave the both of you to discuss. I'm sure you have a lot of catching up to do and months of longing stored up in your heart." Abigail winked at Marcel, said her goodbyes to Rachael and left."So.... When were you planning to tell me all about your contract marriage?" R

Abigail sighed turning her pot of hot gumbo dip, it's been a week and Marcel still doesn't come home every night and most times he ends up spending an awfully full two days outside. The kids wouldn't stop complaining but they didn't make much noise about it like last time, cause this time they get to do video calls with him to their heart content.To the kids they felt it was work that's having their father's attention, but Abigail knew very well who had the attention. Racheal!Today it's a Saturday, she wondered if he would come back home today and at least spend some time with the kids. "Daddy!!!" Abigail heard the kids voice from the sitting room, she almost dropped the big spoon she was holding... and raced to the sitting room to welcome him. But she was able to calm herself down, she had to wait and not act like some high school kid who hasn't seen her lover in years. "Where's your mum?" She heard Marcel ask the kids, she blushed at that. Happy he asked of her the minute he c
