Liam smiled as he stood by the windows, overlooking the garden. His father, Noah Harper had promised to return when the flowers in the garden blossomed. “Hang on, son. Look at these flowers, withered by the winter. Once the flowers blossom, daddy will be home,” Noah had said, standing at that same spot where he stood by the window. Winter was over now and the flowers were budding. His father will soon be home! Liam, who was five years old when his parents got married again was eight years now. He lived happily with his father, Noah Harper and his mother, Emily. His dearest aunt, Aunti Yanxi often came by to see them while he and his parents went over to see his grandfather, Joshua Harper. “Liam?” Emily called. She was coming down the stairs when she saw him looking out of the window. “Good morning mummy! Look mum, the flowers are budding, soon to blossom and dad will be back soon!” he announced excitedly and ran into his mother's arms. “Yes, daddy will soon be back and that's th

“Good. Now, I'm certain I have a responsible son. Inform the Swiss group so that the business plans can begin as soon as possible. I will be on my way, I'm almost late for an appointment,” Joshua Harper said, patted Noah's back and left the office. Noah frowned as he watched his father leave. “Grace Shields,” he muttered repeatedly. Grace Shields was in her house, working with her laptop when she received an email. She opened the mail and saw that it was an appointment letter from Blackwood Towers. She went through it and was excited to see that she was invited to join the new project while working closely with Noah Harper, the biggest CEO in the country. She was to be his assistant for the project just as she wanted! She called out to her friend, Aria, who was in her house screaming,“Aria! I made it into Blackwood Towers!”“What? Oh my goodness! I'm so happy for you dear. You see, I told you. It's time to get your man back. Fight for what is yours. You alone should be Mrs Harper,”

Noah proceeded to narrate the details to his friend.“Alright then. Whatever happens, happens. I hope Emily takes it well.”“I hope so too.”Noah got home that day and told Emily what happened at work. He ended with,“Grace Shields is to work with me as my assistant for the deep harbor project.”“Okay,” Emily said quietly and that was it. The topic was never raised between them again. Noah however strongly believed she wasn't entirely comfortable with it but there was nothing they both could do. He promised himself never to let Grace come between his marriage. “Two months and we will be done with the project. Hopefully, I'll never have a cause to work with her in the future,” he said to himself.“Aunty Yanxi!” Liam called out and ran to her. Gu Yanxi had paid them a visit that morning. “How are you my dear?”“I'm fine, thank you aunty. And you?”“I'm fine too. Hello brother!”Noah and Liam were on their way out when she came. They were going to play and practice some sports before s

It was the close of work one day and Noah was good to go. He returned a few moments later because he had forgotten to pick the gift he bought for his wife. He stood in front of his table, his back towards the door as he wrapped the gifts. He was doing this when someone came from behind and hugged him. He dropped the gifts and turned, only to see Grace. “What is that?”“Noah, don't be hard on me. You know I still love you.”“I don't want a repeat of this. I'm married now and I can't be having any affairs with my employee. I'm your boss and you should respect that. Is that clear?” Noah stated plainly. “Common Noah. You can't be like this. Are you still mad at me?”“I'm not mad at you and at the same time, there's nothing between us. Out of my office.”When Grace saw that this approach wasn't working, she let go of him and left the office. “Daddy!” Liam shouted as his father's car drove into the garage. He waited almost impatiently for his father to alight and when he did, he hugged h

The message came from an unsaved number so Emily didn't know who this woman was. Emily could recall that her husband had stepped out the previous night, saying that he wanted to pick up something for his friend. This message meant that was a very big lie! He was out there with another woman! She felt her stomach churn and the knot in her heart tightened. Her husband was truly cheating on her. After she saw the message, she lost the zeal to keep looking at the pictures. “Liam, it's late, we should go to bed, okay? We will continue tomorrow, we had a long day today and we need to rest early.”“Okay mummy,” Liam agreed reluctantly. When Noah re entered the room, only Emily was seated on the bed and his phone was on the bedside table. “Sweetheart, are you both done with the pictures?” he asked in the same light spirit he had left them. “Yes, here's your phone. Goodnight,” she replied dryly.“Sweetheart? Is there a problem? Why do you sound like that?”“I'm fine, it's nothing.”“Common

Noah was late to work and on getting to the office, his assistant was on seat, as expected. “Good morning, Noah,” she greeted sweetly. He dropped his phone on the table before her and shouted,“What is the meaning of this message you sent to me?” he roared, fury written all over his face. Grace cocked her head in one direction and smiled dryly. This was a message she sent days ago. Why was he just seeing it? “You had better speak up! Again, what's with the condoms I found inside my jacket? Huh? Have you gone mad?”“Noah! Will you stop shouting? Just tell me, when are you going to realise how much I love you? I should be Mrs Harper not that woman in your house. What is it that I've done that is so unforgivable? Noah, I love you and I want to be with you forever.”For some seconds, Noah was zoned out. He couldn't believe what was escaping her lips. “Miss Shields, I don't know what games you are playing, but whatever it is, this madness has to stop. If you intend to use dirty tricks

The day was a busy one for Emily. She was working on a cloth and jewellery design for the wife of the president of France. Liam's school was celebrating their anniversary so they gave their pupils a day off. Emily had been seated and working for hours but she hadn't heard from her son, so she decided to check on him. Most probably, he was sleeping and if he truly was, she needed to wake him for bronch. He had a light breakfast of cereals and there was need for him to have a proper meal. However, on getting to his room, it was a different story. He was sleeping as she thought but he was running a temperature. “Baby, baby, wake up. What's the problem?” she asked, waking him. “You are burning, how do you feel?”Liam opened his eyes weakly,“Mummy, I have a fever and I feel so weak.”“Wait, I'll get a wet towel to decrease your body temperature, afterwards, you will eat so that you can take your drugs, okay?”Liam nodded. Emily dashed into his bathroom and was soon out with a bucket an

Emily was seated in the hospital ward, next to her son's bed when her phone rang. She checked the caller and saw it was her husband. She silenced the phone and placed it back on the table. She couldn't believe he still had the nerves to call her after cheating on her. She recalled Grace's words and how she moaned to her husband's touch. The thought ached her heart. Obviously, Grace had intended to turn off the phone but answered the call mistakenly. Heavens was on her side and wanted to expose her husband, hence, that costly mistake. Her phone rang again and afterwards, she got a message from him. She opened it to see what he had to say. “Maybe he wants to apologize or cook up another story. You have a sick son and all you could do was to stay in your office, drilling another woman,” she thought. No doubt, he was still interested in Grace and that was why he didn't do everything within his power to make sure she does not become his assistant or to keep her off bay. She blamed herself

“What do you mean by that? How can you say I don't care about it?” Noah asked, puzzled. When he asked his wife why she didn't tell him that Liam was ill, she said it was because he didn't care about it. “Babe? I'm asking you a question.”“That's because you were fucking your assistant when he was ill and dying!” Emily cursed in her heart, suppressing the urge to voice it out. “He's fine now. I'll be going to France this week to see my client and finalize the design. I told you about it some weeks ago.”Noah clearly saw that she wasn't interested in discussing the topic at hand. He didn't push further, he just let her be. “Alright. I'll take you for shopping so…”“No need. I'll go by myself,” she said coldly. “Hey, Emily. If you aren't going to tell me what the problem is, then you have to get rid of that look on your face and that cold tone. I'm taking you out for shopping tomorrow, regardless of what you say.”As he said, he took her to the mall and helped he pick out the things

The meeting with her client went well and Emily enjoyed every bit of it. The wife of the president was extremely impressed at her design and paid her three times the agreed amount. She was finally done with her business in France and her flight was in two days. She had gone for sightseeing with other tourists that day and returned to her hotel room in high spirits. After she had eaten and rested, she lay down on her bed and picked up her phone. She checked her messages and saw that she had received a message from an unknown number. There were two messages from that person. One was an image while the there was a text,“How's my gift?”Emily clicked on the picture and a scream escaped her mouth when she saw it. She didn't know how to react. As if that wasn't enough, the person sent another message,“I've gotten my man back. Thanks for letting me have him. Get ready for your divorce and our marriage!”Emily looked at the picture again, who knows, maybe she was imagining things but no! I
