Eric smiled when Victoria gasped as he opened the door to reveal stairs leading to the upper floor of the building. “You have an upstairs,” she said in awe as he led her up the short steps. “Yes, I got the space two years ago. I use it as a gallery, office, or rest area, whatever I need.” “Intriguing,” Victoria said, tightening her hold on his fingers when he got to the top of the stairs. She hurried up the last two steps, and he gave her an appreciative glance. She looked gorgeous…- 38.8 K • Ongoing

Monday was filled with meetings. Victoria spent most of her day moving from one conference room to another, crunching numbers, and working with the various sales department heads planning events in the Savon Hotel. The holiday season was around the corner, not to mention the end-of-year parties. The hotel was booked up for three months straight, which was great for revenue, but it meant more work for the staff. “Vicky,” Bernard from the PR Department caught up with her after a meeting with the…- 38.8 K • Ongoing

“What’s wrong with your car?” Eric asked when he settled into his seat. “I don’t know,” Victoria said with a shrug. “My brother towed it to a garage a few days ago. I’m hoping he gets it back to me soon. I miss the freedom of movement.” She sipped her drink and stared into the glass in silence. Eric cleared his throat and asked, “What did I do earlier?” She lifted her head to look at him. “What do you mean?” “When we were at Upper Hill this afternoon,” he said.…- 38.8 K • Ongoing

“Victoria, you ran off,” Eric accused when he reached the two beautiful women at the bar. “How can you leave me to my own devices?” “You were getting along quite fine.” Victoria sipped her drink and glanced at Olive. “This is my best friend, Olive. She’s a doctor at the Nairobi Hospital. If you ever need a checkup, she’s the one to call.” Olive held out her hand to Eric with a dazzling smile. “Nice to meet you. And you are?” “Eric Kabuto, photographer,” he said.…- 38.8 K • Ongoing

An hour later, leaning on a tree in the gorgeous garden belonging to Taylor’s aunt, Victoria watched Eric focus his lens on a laughing Beth. They were standing by a bush of pink roses, Beth holding one up to her nose. Her wedding dress was gorgeous in the afternoon sun. Victoria wondered what Eric was thinking as he took photographs of a woman he wished had been his. She watched him smile at Beth and frowned when a tinge of jealousy stirred inside her.

Eric focused his lens on Beth as she prepared for her wedding. He locked away his emotions, snapping pictures as the makeup artist ran a soft brush over Beth’s brown skin. He shifted angles and concentrated on capturing Beth on the most important day of her life. Her dress was stunning. Her dress, a white confection of silk and organza, hugged her chest and waist tightly, then floated to the floor in wide skirts. When she sat down, it looked like a sea of white. Her hair was brushed into a tight…- 38.8 K • Ongoing

Victoria sat in the waiting room of her doctor’s office. It was Thursday afternoon, and she fought a rising wave of anxiety while she waited for her appointment. She had called her doctor the same day she discovered the truth about Ronald. Olive had insisted she come in that evening after work for a checkup, and the nurse had drawn three vials of blood. Victoria’s dread had spiked from that moment on. Each time she thought about the test results, fear squeezed her lungs. She had barely gotten any…- 38.8 K • Ongoing

Eric Kabuto was at a disadvantage. He usually avoided sobbing women unless they were his mother or one of his four sisters. Experience had taught him that a woman’s tears were a powerful weapon, one he had no idea how to defend against. Now there was a woman at his feet, face buried in her hands, letting out a sob so raw it tugged at a part of him he hadn’t known existed. He fought the urge to kneel and gather her into his arms. She had run into him at full speed and fallen before he could catch…- 38.8 K • Ongoing

How easy it was to see the pain and shadow of longing in Eric’s eyes those days. Watching him sit opposite Beth on Monday afternoon felt like she was rediscovering his secret again. What surprised her was the constant pang of jealousy plaguing her. She knew Eric liked Beth, even teased him about it when they first…- 38.8 K • Ongoing

“You work at the Savon!” Christine said, her excitement tangible, as she studied Victoria with wide eyes. “Wow, can I visit you during lunch? You can treat me.” “Christine,” Waceke said, her tone chastising, her expression enough to let Victoria know that she was embarrassed with Christine’s blatant request. “I don’t mind,” Victoria said honestly. “Call me the day before you visit, though. In case I’m out and about, it happens sometimes.” “How long have you worked…- 38.8 K • Ongoing
