After taking a long shower in the bathroom, Katherine stepped out after drying her hair which is dripping with water,then a call into her phone which she picked then put it on speaker while rubbing lotion on her body.
So where are we meeting? Zach a friend of Katherine and Jade asked
No greeting? Katherine asked going through her closet looking for the outfit to wear
You know I skip that when it comes to you,don't tell me you are still in bed? Zach asked over the line
No Am not,just looking for the outfit to wear.... Jade told me to dress seductively though I still don't know where we are going.
Maybe she is going to attend the bachelor's eve of her sister's friend
And what does that got to do with her? She only told me we would be partying all night long,not going to bachelor's eve night
Whatever,it's not for sure yet so have you decided on which dress you want?
Not yet.....
What about that your long yellow dress,slitted at the side up to the thigh? I like that yellow dress especially when your hair is packed into a bun
Hmmm....I don't want that. I would prefer a jean with top
What? Are you going to work or shopping?. What about your Floral Draped gown or one shoulder slit gown with that Camilla feathered heel?
Should i? But that will only draw attention and...
And you hate that..Zach completed the sentence but you know what,no matter what you wear Katherine, you will draw attention and do you know why?
Because am too pretty...I know that much. Katherine said putting on her strawberry pant
Am glad you know that,what attract attention is your beauty,your fair skin,pointed nose,perfectly shaped eyebrow,your long eyelashes,pink and juicy lips.
Will you stop that? Katherine said smiling while putting on her sapphire pendant.
You look good in anything,trust me.
Anything?Katherine asked smiling mischievously
Yes I told you anything,were you lied to in your past life or what?
Even rags? Katherine ask holding her laughter
Yes...What?! Zach shouted upon realizing he is being teased. You started again...
You are fun to tease...
Anyway dress up and meet me at the parking lot
What?Thought you said....
Never mind,just make sure you look beautiful enough to be tripped over
Alright I will...
Katherine....Zach called
Yes?
I have something to say when we meet.
What's that? Hope nothing is wrong with you?
No,not at all...Zach said
Okay. Katherine said before disconnecting the call. I wonder what he want to say.....she muttered
After the hot session of sex between Lydia and Brandon which is Dylan father and mother,they both lay on the bed after showering cuddling into each other's arm with different thought rummaging in their mind.
Why do you think your brother is stopping the family from meeting Katherine?Lydia asked tracing her fingers on Brandon's chest
And why would you think that? She may be busy you know....
But still
Not buts,dont care about it. Look at Dylan, is he even always home,even me as his father we rarely see each other even though we live under the same roof
I guess you are right But why do you think they are refusing to live in the mansion with us? I wish they can live with us or can you convince your brother?
You know Charles is quite stubborn and Emilia has no choice than to follow his order
You mean not Emilia controlling your brother?
Lydia! Why must you think like that? Must their family matter be a topic for us to discuss? Stop this,let's not turn this into a heat argument
But he is your brother!
Yes he is and exactly why he has the right to choose for his family,understood? Brandon said standing up heading for the door
Not because you couldn't afford to keep her close when she is another man's woman? Your brother's woman at that! Lydia blurted out of anger
What do you mean by that Lydia? Brandon asked facing Lydia
She was once your lover...Lydia said
LYDIA!!! Brandon shouted. I thought we settled this,why must you bring it up? Why must you bring up the past? She belong to my brother now, she is no more my woman. What else do you want?! Brandon asked gripping Lydia by the shoulder
And exactly! Because you still have feelings for her! That's why!!!
What should I do? What must I do? Tell me! Why are you like this exactly?!
You are the one making me like this, You are the one making me feel insecure,every time you try to avoid saying her name when having any conversation pertaining to her which only means you still have feelings for her. Admit it!
Admit what?
Admit that you still love her....
Lydia,must you go this far? Tell me. Am sorry if I made you feel insecure,forgive me...Brandon asked hugging Lydia
Don't try to change the topic..Lydia said wiping her tears
I hate to see you in tears,yes I was once in love with her but that's the past,believe me. What do you want? How should I prove it to you? Tell me
Anything? Lydia asked looking into Brandon eyes
Yes anything even if it is my life except my children's life. You should know you are the only one so trust me Lydia
Make your brother live with us,bring it up in the meeting.
Lydia,must you do this? Am sure he has his reasons
That's what I want,you said anything for me anyway or you can't? Lydia asked turning her back to Brandon
Alright I will try...Brandon said hugging her from the back but they both disengage from the hug when they heard Something dropping at the doorstep
Who could it be? Lydia asked rushing to open the door
Oh sister-in-law... Lydia said hugging Emilia
It's been a while...Emilia said looking over to Brandon
Why were you at the doorstep? Were you eavesdropping?Brandon asked with a creased brow
And why would I do that? Emilia asked. Am just here to give my greetings to you
For how long were you at the door? Brandon asked looking into Emilia eyes
And why do I have to answer that? Are you having a conversation I shouldn't listen to? Emilia asked back looking over to Lydia
Stop that Brandon,like she said she is just here to give her greetings to us,isn't that it?
I will wait in the living room after giving my greetings to chairman so if I may excuse myself...Emilia said leaving then Brandon looked at her till she is no longer seen but Lydia tap divert his attention
Do you want to follow her? You can it's not too late
Am furious,Don't flare it up Lydia...
I wonder why? Is it because you were worried she heard you professing your love to me? Is that it?
Stop it
I mean why else would you be asking for how long was she at the door. Even you getting angry right now proves me right
Proves what right Lydia? Let's not start this again please,act mature for once like
Don't compare me to Emilia,just don't. Yes am not mature when it comes to you,when it comes to your heart and love
Lydia!
What?! Let me be! Lydia said getting back to the room
It's no use convincing you...Brandon said closing the door with force heading to the Bar
Getting out of sight of Brandon and Lydia,Emilia leaned her back against the wall, wiping the tears that streamed down her face
Why are you still hurt by that Emilia? You love Charles now, Brandon belong to another woman so stop all this. She said in her thought but what can I do? My heart has a mind of its own...she muttered under her breath before heading for the chairman study since that's where he will be at this time of the day
Yes you can come in....Emilia heard the programmed voice say after ringing the bell. Then she entered going through all the rows of door before finally getting to the study
Good morning chairman,I trust you are well...Emilia said bowing
Yeah I am,all thanks to you isn't it? I received your gift and that is improving my health everyday
You flatter me chairman,that's only because you have an agile body. You also have your sons and daughter to help so mine is only of little help...Emilia said sitting on the large cream-coloured chair
And that's why I said it's all thanks,you don't live with us but you take care of me even more than my children but still I consider you my daughter not my daughter-in-law. Where is your husband? Is he not with you?
He left something at home thats why am here before him...
Alright,I have an issue to bring up during the meeting so I hope you abide by my wish. Have you visit your mother-in-law?
No you are the second..
Brandon is the first, right? Chairman asked sipping on his moringa leaf tea
Yes...
You know I care about you a great deal,and I like you a lot right?
Yes....Emilia replied pressing her lips together
Since you know,I hope you won't do things that will disappoint me
I won't,I promise you...
Yes,I trust you. How is my Granddaughter? Still the same? Busy,right?
Yes..
As usual,I know she is not or do you think anything can pass me by?
Chairman...
It's okay,am sure you both have your reasons which is why i have come up with a decision. You can go visit your mother-in-law
Alright chairman... Emilia said heading for the door
When will you stop calling me chairman? When will you start calling me Father-in-law? You can leave...
Okay....Emilia said bowing
