It's sunday morning,remembering I have brunch with my high school friends, stella and issac and hilda,yea ,I still keep in touch with my friends.we were the notorious JOSEPHINA'S.
I did my morning routines,got dressed and head to the house.
Entering their yard I saw issac setting the dishes.
"Hey issac." I greeted.
"Oh hi,eve, honey someone is here to see you".issac shouted.
Issac has really changed,normally he is the quiet type,now he is muscular and he has freckles.
"Don't tell me it's the gardener,I told him am not paying after he destroyed my flowers.....eve!,it you". stella trailed off pulling me to a tight hug.
stella is African,Nigeria to be specific,she is my best friend in high school,she was the black beautiful girl in school,which made me second beauty in the school,we fought about it now we are friends,isaac and stella are couple,they got engaged a year ago now am just waiting for their wedding.
"You are early.come on let go and set things up,I can't wait". Stella squeal.
I saw hilda,the chaterbox of the school.it was amazing to see some of us again. We had the brunch at their porch,the design is magnificent of course done by stella herself,she is a interior designer and issac is an engineer.
Their house is bungalow and very clean and beautiful.
"This is amazing food,what is is it called again?"I asked.
"Jollof rice,if you want to taste Africa food you can joins us there".
"Oh I don't know going to Africa for food is a waste of money".I countered.
"But fun right?.stella added.
"So I finally got a job as a PA". I say changing the topic.
"That's nice so we can say we are hardworking people". We talked and joke about works.
I decided to change the topic.
"So,you and issac are engaged,so when is your wedding?".
"Yea,it's been a year". Hilda added.
"Well,issac and I decided to have two weddings,one at my country and here,and it is a lot of money,we are saving and patient". Stella answered.
"And we will go to California to start a new life".Issac added.
"That's nice".
"What about you hilda,how is jeff?issac asked.
"He is fine,he will soon be back and when he is,we will go to paris and start a new life". Hilda replied.
"You really want to go to paris,don't you?". I asked.
"Yes, the reason I didn't go was because I was going to be lonely,but jeff there it will be amazing".hilda replies.
"Look at us,planning on our next adventure and new life". Stella squeal.
"What about you eve,you have someone in your life?".
"No".
Yea,am pretty,but no one comes to me and I like it that way and am also thankful that they didn't push. Then the rest of the time was silent and peaceful and it was killing me.
"I wish the whole gang were here".issac said out of the blues.
"Yea,tasha,ollie,albert,patrick and sandy". Hilda added.
"I guessed they have a new life?".I asked.
"Yes,albert is a famous artist,pat is a model now,also tasha and ollie are business woman and they are not in good terms".stella added.
"Really,the two best friends who always flaunt their wealth and rule the school are enemies".
"Business made it that way".issac says.
"Could it mean that business also drove us apart". I asked faintly,no one answered.
"I guess,but the four are gonna be okay".hilda says.
"Yea".we all respond simultaneously.
"Is it considered betrayal to develop feelings for your best friend's boyfriend? What about when fate intervenes, and he turns out to be your destined mate? You might think it's luck and thank the moon goddess for such a twist of fate. That's what I believed until the love of my life uttered those dreaded words: 'I want a divorce!' As I stared at the pregnancy test in my hands, I realized it was better to keep my secret to myself. My name is Violet, and this is my story."
"There will be no falling in love, we will only act as a loving couple when we are in public, we will share a room to make it believable, but no intimacy, touching is off-limits. We'll only have sex once a month, and that's solely to produce an heir. You won't interfere in my business, and I won't interfere in yours. You will be my wife in every sense and you will not be involved with any other man," he said, arrogance seeping from every word. I watch his mouth move, I'm not ready to fall in love with any man, especially not one as arrogant and egoistic as him. I can handle acting as a loving couple, and as for intimacy once a month. I can agree to that just to satisfy my sexual cravings with no strings attached. "Where can I sign?" I asked since I had nothing to lose. *** Nadine's wedding dreams turned to nightmares when she caught her sister and fiancé cheating! With a secret recording, she's ready for revenge.
