CHAPTER SEVEN. "Who was that man that dropped you and your friends?" Nathan questioned. "Oh, that..." Pink smiled. "Yes, that.""He is Ann's boyfriend's driver." Pink innocently said."Oh."Pink looked directly in his eyes. "Someone can be jealous?""When it comes to you.."Pink interrupted. "Says the guy that flirted with almost every female that came to buy from his stand tonight. You think I didn't notice?""I was only being nice and friendly. It is called courtesy and customer service." Nathan explained. Pink made funny, but cute faces. "Over here we call it cheating.""Says the girl that was driven in a Venza to the governor's birthday party!" "By an unknown driver of my friend's boyfriend." Pink completed. "How did you get past that gate? For the little I know, it is an exclusive birthday party." "Ann's boyfriend is big." Nathan frowned. "Whatever." He said in a really cool accent, "How much do you need for your WAEC and JAMB fees again?"Pink blushed. "Oh my God! Is s
CHAPTER EIGHT. Kim had no plans of leaving Nigeria anytime soon. She sat on her balcony, admiring the big city, smoking and painting. Her close friends would testify she was a talented painter. She had tons of her artworks in the national museum, California, and Nigeria. She made quite a fortune from painting. A lot of people did not know her to be an artist. She preferred to remain anonymous in her artistry. She wasn't expecting to see Bryan walking to her balcony, she looked around in surprise when Bryan walked forward, towards her. Was she hallucinating? She exhaled hard when she saw Jennifer walk to the balcony as well, wearing a broad smile. Now she was certain she wasn't hallucinating, Jenifer must have let him into her house. Very quickly she covered her painting, looking at both in confusion. "Is someone hiding something from us?" Bryan teased, smiling. "No, ofcourse not." Kim scoffed. "I'm only trying to keep my client and his work anonymous." "I didn't know you wer
CHAPTER NINE.Nathan jogged from the studio, headed to his house. He tied his sweater round his waist. As he jogged, he buried his mind in thoughts.His mom was moving crazily and it hurt him. He slowed his pace when he noticed Kim's car parked in front of him.Kim whined down, "Come on, get in!" She said. "I'll give you a ride."Nathan opened the front door of Kim's car and settled into the seat. He shot her a grateful glance. "Hi, good afternoon ma." He drew a deep breath before beginning to talk. "You're God sent, thank you." "The energy you used while jogging, like an athlete." Kim said. "Why are jogging under this hot sun, it's ridiculous."Nathan looked away, ashamed. "Nothing." Kim studied his expressions. "Something is wrong, you look sad." "I am." Nathan replied. "Why? I won't give up easily." Kim persuaded. "Talk to me, I would help if I could." "Just a terrible unlucky day." Nathan said dismissively. "How have you been?" "Not bad. I'm alive." Kim replied casually. "
CHAPTER TEN.Kim was by the pool side in Bryan's mansion. She wasn't swimming even though she was in her bikini. She sat staring at nothing in particular, she ransacked her head, explored ideas on the best way to get her son back. She didn't seem to find the best idea yet.Bryan tip-toes to the pool using his hands to cover Kim's eyes, not in the mood, she sholves his hands. "Baby you have been giving me attitude since I came back from my music video shoot, why?""Music video shoot huh? I watched the thriller on your laptop, that is not a music video shoot, it is a porn shoot. More than ten girls were flashing their boobs and ass in your face and you call it music video shoot?" That was in no way the reason for her mood, but, Kim saw an oopportunity and used it. "Baby calm down, you are overreacting. I have had nastier music videos." Bryan stroked her hair gently. "Okay." The word came out before she realized she had said it. "Okay fine. I will re shoot the music video, anything
CHAPTER ELEVEN. "You're two weeks pregnant!" Jennifer announced, pulling a chair to sit beside Kim, at her balcony. She wanted to get her mind off a lot of things.Somewhere in her heart, she felt concerned about Payson, each time she remembered how angry and devastated he was when she left his office.Her painting brush fell off her hands. "Pregnant?" She asked."Yes." Jennifer nodded excitedly. "Congratulations! Our celebrity baby is on the way." "I didn't plan to have a child now but..I love babies so.. harari!" Kim smiled. "Perfect way to hold him down." Jennifer said."I don't need to get pregnant to hold him down." Kim rolled her eyes."Talk to me, what is happening? And when will you tell Bryan you are pregnant?""After the release of his Album.""He also needs to know you are Blade."Kim shook her head disapprovingly. "Do you know how much he hates Blade? I don't want to lose Bryan.""Yea, you shouldn't lose him. He is a celebrity. How big is the wedding going to be?" Kim
CHAPTER TWELVE.Payson looked at Alex in shock when he stepped into the living room. How did he find her? How did he know she was at Rose's apartment? Her friend, Rose, shot her an apologetic glance."I'm sorry," Rose said. "But I couldn't ignore him. I'll be outside." Rose scurried out of the living room. Alex sat on the couch, opposite Payson. He studied her face quietly. "Kim is lying, if you don't believe me then let's run a DNA on yourself and Nathan." Payson stated. "Yes we will, today, shall we?" Alex simply said. Payson looked at him differently, what had Kim done to her husband? Never had he ever had doubts about her. "You don't believe me, you believe Kim over me?" "You have decided to take my docile nature for granted, but not anymore.." He paused then continued. "Just say the truth Payson and save us the time. I love you and there is no way I will side with Kim, but I need to know the truth so I can know how to prepare." Payson stared at him for long then exhaled s
CHAPTER THIRTEEN."You are pregnant?" Sarah forced out the words, nearly having a heart attack. "You're what?" Dalvin opened his eyes in shock. No, he didn't expect that. Pregnant? "I thought you were a virgin." Pink moved backwards, then quickly turned and ran down the staircase.Sarah jumped to her feets and chased after her. Dalvin sank into the couch, perplexed, looking at the pregnancy strip test. ***Alex barged into his living room. He saved himself to stress to greet a bunch of pretenders. "Payson!" Alex yelled, looking around until he finally caught glimpse of her. "Oh there you are! Why haven't you signed the divorce papers?"Payson scoffed. "I will not sign any divorce papers.""Why won't you? Is marriage a death sentence?" Alex asked."It is for better, for worse." Payson responded."Alex my son, please calm down let's talk things out." Onome tried to pacify Alex."Dad please. Why are you even divorcing mom? Please talk
CHAPTER FOURTEEN.Kim raised a glass to make a toast. "To long life!" "To long life!" Sarah chorused, laughing. Dalvin stood on his toe, stretching his neck to spy on the two women.He couldn't be more confused. Suddenly they were drinking and gisting like old time high school friends, trying to catch up. ***Al Badger Desert, United Arab Emirates. Kim is sitted in a quad bike drinking water. Bryan tickles her from behind, she turns looking at him startled. "Bryan... You scared me." Kim said, smiling awkwardly."So it's Bryan now?" He rolled his eyes."Baby boy.." Kim said."Yo! That's more like it. I am a baby boy." Bryan stated, pinching her nipples."Excuse you? Young man, it is disrespectful for you to walk up to a beautiful woman with your green dyed hair, scarf tied around your neck and slip your hands under her blouse caressing her breasts." Kim wrapped her hands around his neck, kissing his lips softly.Bryan pau
