Twenty minutes in his office, and Declan could barely get any work done. He had been overthinking so much about his relationship with Samantha. They had hit a hard rock again, and he could only imagine how far this could go this time around. He managed to open up the files that his secretary had placed on his table. Micheal was running late, which was very unlike him. He decided to focus on work and forget about the things that disturbed him. Money was very important to sustain their lifestyle. He was responsible for quite a few people, and that was another reason he had to work. Micheal soon came in, giddy with excitement. "What is it?" Declan asked him as he came closer to speaking with him. "You are looking at the latest father in this city," Micheal said as he placed his tablet neatly on the desk with a smile on his face. "Your girlfriend is pregnant?" Declan asked him. "I just found out yesterday," Micheal said excitedly. Sometimes, he acted like a child, but Declan thou

Hannah rejected the call for the umpteenth time. It was not like she hated that Kennedy had a child, it was because he kept it from her for a long time. He would probably not have said anything to her if she had not questioned him about the fishy text messages that she had been noticing for a while.She was also not ready to associate herself with a crazy person. His ex-girlfriend sounded like one, and she was not only looking out for herself but for her children. She was already saddled with the responsibility of dealing with two kids, and one more child sounded like an additional burden. There was a limit to what she could tolerate. She misses him every day. It was because of him that she experienced the kindness that she seemed to have been deprived of for a long time. He was a good man, and she was hoping for a good life with him. It was so funny that she had chosen to let her guard down when this was happening. She was not the person to settle for someone who worked as an e

A siege of silence enveloped Declan for the next few days. He did not know how to react to Daniel taking his place as CEO. There were other things that he was more concerned about. He spent so much time in the suite that he shared with Samantha. All her belongings were gone, save the pajamas she used the morning she left. He carried it about and sniffed it often. It was not in the certainty of death, but in the uncertainty that he may never get to see her while she was alive again. She had been through a lot since she met him, contrary to how perfect her life was before she met him. Every day, he looked forward to hearing some good news from Abigail, but she had no clue about where to find her.Micheal came to check on him every day, and today was not an exception. As soon as he walked through the door, Declan raised himself from the bed and pushed into the living room. To his surprise, he saw Daniel, who bore a mischievous smile at the corner of his lips."Get out," Declan sai

"What should I do first?" Declan asked her, wondering why she held him back. "A child is having a birthday, and a birthday gift for the child sounds like a good enough peace offering," Abigail said to him. "I think you are right," he said, considering what she said. They looked for a nearby toy shop, and Declan was indecisive on what to get. He bought big teddies, so many toys that forty children could play with them comfortably, some candies, and chocolates. As he was about to end his shopping, he thought that a small gift for Samantha would not hurt. He went ahead to get her a diamond bracelet that cost him thirty thousand dollars."You know that she does not necessarily need that, right?" Abigail asked him. "It's just a small gift for my beautiful wife," Declan said, dismissing her, as he was not in the mood for any talk about his spending. As they headed back to their country home, Declan felt more fulfilled and more confident about meeting his wife. He even sang along to t

"As I said, what we should be more concerned about is getting back the money first," Declan said as he looked at every one of them in the room as they sat down and looked at him. "How do we get access to the money when we do not know who is behind it at first?" One member of the accounts department asked. "You are also forgetting that by seeking the location of our money, we can get access to the culprit," Declan mentioned. They nodded in agreement, and for the next hour, Declan spent time deliberating on what he thought was the perfect game plan for them. All the while, Micheal kept looking at him in admiration. Declan was a man fit to run an empire. It showed in the way he loved and treated his employees. It showed in his rational decision-making. It showed in how versatile he was, and his level of innovation. Samantha once told him that one of the things that attracted her to Declan was his big brains. The meeting soon came to an end with the game plan for the accountants.
