Chapter 17: Michael
Chapter 17: Michael
I stood up abruptly from my chair as I throw the remote I was holding at the smart screen television in
my office. It makes a dent on the screen but I didn't care. I can't believe Austin said that at a live
interview, that I killed his sister. I close my eyes as I envisioned the tears that fell down Nina's eyes. My
heart bled knowing fully well that I'm the cause of her tears.
I open my eyes at sound of my phone ringing, a quick glance at the caller's ID shows my dad.
“Michael Vincent Thompson!!” My dad screams filled my ear as I pull the phone away from my ear.
Leave it to my dad to remember my three names when he's annoyed.
“Yes, dad” I reply as soon as he has calmed down.
“You killed Mia Walker? How?” He asked shocked.
“I didn't kill her, dad. This is just a conspiracy”
“Aceepted that you didn't kill her. I need you to step down as the CEO of Thompson's Empires for now,
let Vino take over until all this dies down. Ok”
“No, dad. I'm no longer the young boy you need to protect. I'm thirty two years old, dad, I can handle
this by myself ” I said adamantly.
“ Michael Vincent Thompson!!!” My dad screams again as I ignored him.
“Yes, dad. I can handle it” I reply not fazed at all.
“Are you sure, son?. I'm not speaking to you as the chairman of Thompson's Empire but rather as a
father”.
“I will be ok, dad. And if at all I need your help, I will not hesitate to ask of it”.
“Ok. And make sure to invite Deborah over for dinner, take care of yourself” I slump onto my chair as I
closed my eyes briefly.
“Aurora? Come into my office” I called into the intercom. A minute later, she walks in.
“Yes, sir, you sent for me”
“ Tell Mark to bring the car, I will be going home soon” I said to her as I type away on my computer.
“ I'm sorry sir, but you won't be able to leave” She said apologetically, I turn to look at her shocked.
“What do you mean by that?”
“There are thousand of reporters outside seeking to speak with you and there are also a lot of them
camping outside the gate to your house, you won't be able to go home either” She replied as I stood up
to open the window blind. I was shocked at the number of reporters gathered in front of my company. I
thought she was exaggerating but this; they are much more than thousands.
I close the blind just as my phone rang, I walk over to my desk to pick it up. My hand froze on the NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.
phone as I noticed the caller's ID. It was Nina calling. I pause a bit contemplating whether I should pick
it or not. This is the first time in ten years, she has ever called me.
“Hello” I call into the phone as I have finally decided to pick it.
“I need to see you, Michael. Where are you?” She said, I listen to her sweet soothing voice, she was
trying badly to mask the tears in her voice but I still heard it alright. And it shattered a million bones in
my body knowing fully well that I'm the caused of it.
She wants to see me but how? There are thousands of reporters in front of my company and I can't say
no to her “I'm at the office” I reply as soon as I come to the conclusion that I want to see her too. I've
missed her since I last saw her yesterday, it seems like forever in my eyes.
“I'll see you in an hour time” She called into the phone and hang up. I couldn't help the smile that
makes their way into my face as I grin excitedly while Aurora look on surprised written all over her face.
She had never seen me behave this way with Deborah.
“Hmm!” I cleared my throat as I turn to face Aurora “ I'm expecting Nina Miller, the journalist whose face
was on the television a while ago ” I explained to her, she look at me shocked probably wondering why
I was meeting her.
“I need you to bring her in safely, without the paparazzi getting wine of it ” I said, just as the door open
and John walked in“Thank God you are here,John,” I said to him as he sat down on the couch.
“I've brought the chopper, in case you'll want to leave ” He replied.
“Not yet. I'm meeting Nina, soon ” I said, he look at me shocked.
“Here?. But how?
“ That's why I need your help. I don't how you want to do it, but I need her safely in my office without a
scratch.OK?”They both nodded as they turn to leave.
I walk into the adjoining room in my office, to shower and change out of my clothes. I dress up in a
black jean and blue shirt. I fold up the sleeve as I apply perfume to my body. I've been told that blue
looks good on me, and it enhances my blue eyes which Victor and I both inherited from my mom. Vino
has my dad brown eyes.
I walk out of the door and open the window blind to see Nina driving in, she parked her car and walk
out. She must have changed her dress before coming over. She use a scarf to cover her face. She's
very smart, she must have imagined that there will be reporters.
I closed the blind. Wait a minute“Dress”, I quickly rush back to the window to look at what she was
putting on again. My heart exploded in my chest when I saw that she was wearing the dress I bought
for her ten years ago, when I ripped her dress. I never got the chance to see her in it but now that I do,
she look beautiful in it.
What does this mean? Has she forgiven me?. I close the blind quickly and sat down immediately I saw
John and Aurora guiding her to my office.
She walks in, looking beautiful and radiance as always. My heart pounded in my chest as I turn to John
and Aurora who followed behind her closely.
“Thank you” I said to them. They look at me shocked, probably the first time I've ever told them 'thank
you'. They recover fast as they turn to walk out of the door closing the door gently.
“Have your seat” I gesture to the couch in front of me nervous. She sat down and turn to look at me,
like really looked at me.
“What really happened?” She finally asked me.
“Are you here to interview me, Nina Miller,” I asked her as I laugh nervously. She looked on, not finding
this funny any bit.
“Ok” I raise my hands in defeat “ Mia Walker was my personal assistant and yes, I…”. I closed my
eyes, as the bile rise up in my throat. I can believe I'm doing this. Mia Walker you owe me a big one for
this..
“ Yes, I kilked her ” I finally said as I avoided her eyes.
“Lies! Lies!!” She said as she look at me not believing me.
“ Why? You think I'm lying right?” I said my voice rising slightly, I was getting annoyed with her and I
don't even know why.
“Do you want me to tell you how I self administered drugs to her because I was scared of my parents
finding out?. Do you want to know why I couldn't take her to the hospital because I was scared of
ruining my reputation if the media finds out?. Or do you want to know how she bled and died in front of
me, with my name on her lips?”.
Tears were pouring down her face, as I sat down heavily, scared that I've hurt her more than I should. I
love you Nina Miller, please stay away from the truth, it hurts and I can't risk losing you too.
“Lies! Lies!!” She screamed amidst tears.
“I'm sorry if you had to heard that, I don't know what you wanted to achieve by coming here but that's
exactly the truth of what happened ”
“ I love you” She screamed the words out, I froze on my seat as I look at her seriously.
“I love you, Michael Thompson,I don't care if you killed Mia Walker or not. I'm tired of running away
from you, I want to be your woman if you will have me ” She said as she looks at me expectantly
waiting for me to reject her.
I stood up and grab her as I slam my lips on hers. We kissed passionately for few minutes as we finally
break apart to come up for air.
“Nina Miller, you sure know how to make a man beg on his knees ” I said as I rest my forehead on hers,
gazing deeply into her eyes. She smiles shyly as she wraps her hands around my neck.
“ Spend the night with me, Nina ”
“Yes” She replied as I let go of her to gather up my things and shut down my computer as she picks her
bag from the floor. I held up my hands for her as she wrap her hands around me, we walk out into the
hall,everyone stood up to look at me with a beautiful woman beside me. I ignored their stares as I
gesture to John, he came running to me.
“Yes, sir ” He said when he was near me.
“Is it ready? We are ready to leave now ” I asked him.
“Yes, sir ” He reply as he leads the way out to where the chopper was parked at the roof top.
I walk close to my baby and run my hands through her black and gold skin. Charles walks out of the
door to greet me.
“Michael! Long time ” He said.
“Yes. How are you?.I see she's beautiful as ever ” I said as I pointed to the chopper.
“I'm fine. Yes ” He replied as he looked inquiry at Nina.
“That's Nina, Nina this is Charles, my pilot ”
Charles shake Nina's hand as he smiles “ Finally, I get to see the woman behind the name " He said as
he walks into the plane with John beside him.
I turn to look at Nina, she was looking at me curiously, I guess she has done her maths. I named my
chopper after her 'INA'. We both enter into the plane as Charles took us to my Villa.
I walk into my Villa with Nina besides me. I know she has many questions to ask me but right now I
want to consume all of her.
“Emma prepare something for Nina ” I said as I walk her into my room, without waiting for Emma's
reply.
Immediately we walk into the privacy of my room, I turn and slam my lips on hers. She responded
feverish. I guess I'm not the only one been turned on. I stole kisses down he neck as she moan into my
ear. Gosh! How I've missed that sound. I undo the zipper at the back of her gown and it came down her
feet. I pulled back to drink in her beautiful skin which was enhanced by the white lace bra and panties
she was putting on.
“Like what you see ” She said huskily as her eyes darken with desire.
“Yes baby, I like what I'm seeing it but will love to see you naked too” I said as I lick my lips slowly.
She understands her fingers at the edge of her panties and pulls it off slowly and seductively. I suck in
breath as my eyes darken with desire. My muscles pop out due to my excessive control. She did the
same thing to her bra now she was finally naked in front of me. I kissed her roughly as I carried her to
bed.
I drop her slowly on the bed, as I stood up to undress . I drag on my tie furiously, it came off, I button
down my shirt just as her hands made their way to my trouser. She unbuckle the belt and pull down the
zipper. She pul loff the trouser with the boxer. My sex came out standing proudly in front of her.
She swallow nervously, she licks her lips as she look at me wrapping her hands around me. I throw my
head back in abandonment as I moan. Thank God my room was soundproof.
She put her mouth around it and suck on it. I gasp at the sensation that pass through me, I've never
given a woman such power to do this to me before.
“Baby, in as much as I like your mouth around me, I don't think I can last any longer” I said huskily as I
look at her sucking me.
She climb onto the bed facing up, she open her legs widely inviting me to come have a taste. I was like
a bee going for the honeycomb. I walk to her and touch her, she was wet and ready for me.I insert my
sex inside her, she moan and throw her head back in abandonment.
Gosh! How I love her. I love the way I can be myself when I'm with her. I love the way her eyes darken
with desire when I'm inside her. I pump in and out of her as she scream my name and tighten her legs
around me. I pull ou and tease her with the head.
“Please, Michael” She said crying
“ Please what baby?" I asked her as I pretended not to understand what she was begging me for.
“Please let me cum, please” She said furiously wiping away her tears.
I look at her, she looks so beautiful begging me. I enter her roughly and ride faster , she came so soon
and I followed right after her and cum inside her. I lie down spent beside her as I wrap my hands
around her and kiss her forehead as I breathe in her scent.
“Are you on pills?” I asked her. I can't believe I forgot to use condom. That's what she does to me first
and only love.
“Yes,” She replied.
“What?” I asked looking at her shocked, How can she be on pills when she doesn't have any man apart
from me or was she lying to me”.
“No, that's not it?” She buried her face face shyly on my chest “ My doctor recommend it for me, for
period irregularity” She said, just as I stomach rumbles.
I laugh happily and carry her to the bathroom to shower before I went to the kitchen to dish her food, it
was late and Emma has gone to bed.
She walks in putting on my blue shirt, it falls just between her thighs and barefooted. Thank God both
Emma and John has gone to bed, wouldn't want anyone to see her like this. She is mine.
She look tired and weak, I pass her food to her. She eat fast as she was feeling sleepy. After she has
finished eating I took her to bed after putting the dishes in the sink and cuddled her close as she slept
soundly in my arms. With a contented smile on my face I fell asleep too.
