STUCK WITH YOU - CHAPTER 39&40
♧DEXTER’S HOLDINGS;Evening ♧
Fleet of cars were parked outside,all expensively looking.
It was a night meeting,a secret meet up to sell off the companies shares.
A black suv halted in front of the building, Aaron stepped out with total chaos written on his cold face.
▪︎
The board room was nearly filled up,all the boards members and shareholders were present all except the Ceo,just as planned.
“I wonder why you insisted on a late meet up,so urgently”
“Yeah,we could have met during the day,or even in one of our mansions”
“It’s important that the procedures are done here,that’s the only way the lawyer can share off the company”Mr Dexter said.
“So,what are waiting for?”Another board member said.
“Let’s begin”Another man said.
“Bring in the documents and Let’s begin with the reading of the last minute” Mr Dexter said.
Everything was read out quickly and the lawyer dropped the papers in front of Mr Dexter.
“Give the pen”Mr Dexter said,the lawyer gave him the pen and opened up each document.
“Sign quickly,your coffin awaits?…”A cold voice said and a dangerously cool aura followed.
“SKYLE!”
“How did he find out?”
“Who told him about this meeting”
“Is this some set up?”
“Aaron?”Mr Dexter stuttered,huge shock evident on his face.
“What you thought I’d miss this? Sign quickly everyone is waiting,I have little time to spare make it quick”Aaron muttered coldly.
“Skyle….Aaron I can explain….”Mr Dexter stuttered, utterly shocked.
“No need,you are all fired,I wanna see your resignation by morning”Aaron muttered coldly,he stood up adjusted his suit sleeve and walked out.
“We are done for….”
“I’ve invested my life in this company,where do I start from?
“This is all your fault Dexter,I’ll be recurring losses due to your foolishness,I want the money I put into this company by morning”Mr Williams said.
“I second that”
“So do I!”Another man said,hitting the table violently.
They all walked out leaving Mr Dexter.
“DÀRN!!!!”
Mr Dexter yelled and pushed the table over,all the files,documents and even laptops fell off and scattered.

♧SKYLE’S MANSION;OLD PENTHOUSE♧▪︎
Sia eyes fluttered slowly,the window blinds were thick room was totally dark even when the sun shone brightly outside.
She yawned gently and sat up,blinking as hazy lashes gently.
It took a while to recollect were she saw but she instantly did when the sharp burnt rose scent hut her senses.
She spent the night in his room? Again?
She jumped out the bed quickly and rushed into the bathroom.
The loud drips from the bathroom went through the room and withing minutes she was out in a white towel.
She opened his wardrobe gently and took out a grey shirt.
“I just hope he doesn’t get angry again,but I can’t help it”Sia pouted,she pulled of the towel and wore the grey shirt.
She stood in front of the mirror,and bit her lips gently.
It’s an obvious death wish,but she just couldn’t resist the scent.
She looked really small in it,and it stopped just below her thighs,so small but segzy.
“Sia!….”Mrs Bella said walking in,she stopped on her tracks when she saw Sia standing there in Aaron’s shirt.
“Is he back?”Sia asked avoiding eye contact.
“Yes he came back this morning,he is in the gym right now and….”
“I’m hungry,let’s go downstairs”Sia smiled cutting her next question off.
Sia quickly walked out the door and Mrs Bella blinked.
“Her guts has gotten bigger than Skyles ego over the years….he’ll end her”Mrs Bella shook her head,she and walked out.
▪︎KITCHEN▪︎
“What’s that? I want it too”Sia said childishly,chewed up apple bulging at the side of her cheeks.
“Don’t eat with your mouth open young lady”Mrs Bella scolded.
“It’s pineapple juice,Skyle’s favourite”Mrs Bella smiled and poured it into a glass.
Sia rolled her eyes and grabbed another apple from the glass bowl.
“He is so mean and cold,how did he get such a sweet mom like you?”Sia muttered and murdered the poor apple with a knife.
“I’m not his mom,but he always considered me that…. His uncle and aunt had a hand in his dad’s death but he still let’s them live under his roof and spend his money”Mrs Bella said.
“And his mom?”Sia said.
“She abandoned him at the old orphanage just after his birth,i was a full time nurse then going back home from duty,it was raining heavy that night so I couldn’t just leave him out there,he was barely some hours old,I took him in under my roof but that only made his life miserable” Mrs Bella uttered.
“How is that?”Sia asked curiously.
Mrs Bella wipped the tear from her eye and faked a smile.
“It’s nothing dear,all these old memories makes my eye tear up,I’ll tell you some other time”Mrs Bella sniffed.
Sia jumped down the counter and walked over to the table, she picked a glass of pineapple juice and made to drink it but Mrs Bella swiped the glass out her hand.
“Dear! What were you planning to do? That’d ki|| you!”Mrs Bella snapped.
Sia blinked confusedly with darted gaze on the glass.
“It’s pineapple juice,you’re allergic to it,how can you forget something so important”Mrs Bella scolded.
“Yes…. I forgot but how do you know that? Only Cami and I know that”Sia asked with a straight face,suspicion visibly clear in her eyes.
“I….”Mrs Bella dropped the cup.
“You can’t keep lying to me,I’m not buying it today. Just tell me how you know I’m allergic to pineapple?!”Sia asked seriously.
Mrs Bella sighed.
“I’m a close friend of your sister,she wanted to be the one to tell you first,we knew eachother long when you were born” Mrs Bella uttered carefully,obviously not to blurt few things.
Sia nodded.
“That’s how you knew my parents? But you’re way older than her “Sia asked.
Mrs Bella nodded.
“You should have told me atleast”Sia sighed.
She walked back to the counter and helped herself back up.
Sia said nothing and took a bite from the half cut apple.
The puppy suddenly rushed in,muddy puddles everywhere.
“Spice!”Sia gasped and rushed to grab the puppy before it could stain anymore glass tile.
“See what you’ve done now…. you’re such a mess”Sia scolded and the puppy whined cutely.
“It’s fine dear,I fed her this morning,and let her out to play “Mrs Bella said.
“I’ll just give her a shower,sorry about this”Sia pouted.
Mrs Bella smiled.
“C’mon little trouble,your punishment is in the bathtub”Sia said,she walked out carrying the pup far from her shirt.
Mrs Bella chuckled and pulled out a mop.
▪︎
The puppy kept splashing madly in the bathtub,water sprinkled out all over the floor
Sia stood afar chuckling cutely.
“Becareful spice..”Sia uttered.
Her phone suddenly chimed and she checked it out.
📲📧 HEY! IT’S REED.
I KNOW I’M THE LAST PERSON YOU WANNA TALK TO RIGHT NOW,BUT ATLEAST GIVE ME A CHANCE,THAT’S ALL I ASK.
JUST ONCE AFTER THAT,I WON’T ASK AGAIN,PLEASE FOR THE MOMENTSWE ONCED SHARED…. PLEASE..
Sia brows pulled together expressionless,and she sighed out in frustration.
📱FINE. WHERE?
Sia typed and sent.
“Come on girl,you’ll catch a cold”Sia muttered,she took a towel and carried the puppy out the tub.

♧DEXTER ISLAND;GREY MANSION♧
It was a hot mess in there,furnitures turned upside down. Glasses scattered across the room.
Mr Dexter just kept raging angrily. Debit alerts have been popping in every second and its obvious who is responsible. So now he can’t even pay the shareholders.
He is doomed.
“What is it hon! …. why are you making a mess here?”Mrs Maori snapped rushing down the stairs.
“He has ruined me! All my money! Who those he think he is? That devil isn’t any different with his father!!”Mr Dexter yelled madly,he pushed over the glass figurine and it shattered,glass pieces flew across the room.
“Arghh!”Mrs Maori cried out.
“Mom!”Reed rushed over to her,he immediately sighted a glass piece pierced in her leg.
“What’s this dad?”Reed frowned.
“Useless son,how dare you speak, you couldn’t even do anything… that bustard is swiping out my hard earned money every second,I’ll be finished before the end of the day! And you’re asking me what happened??!”Mr Dexter barked.
“And where is your daughter? Even she is useless,she’s busy chasing some Italian guy instead of helping her father!”Mr Dexter snapped.
“She said she’d be coming back today,her flight left already,so atleast calm down,its not our fault you’re destined to lose to father and son”Mrs Maori snapped.
“Are you snapping at me? Maori!”Mr Dexter snapped.
Reed’s phone Sudan chimed and he fetched it out his pocket quickly.
REPLIED;
📲FINE,WHERE?
📱RITZ COLLEGE… WE’LL MEET WHEN YOU’RE BACK.
📲OKAY. Sia reply came almost immediately.
Reed eyes widened and a wide smile spread on his lips.
“You two can ki|| yourself for all I care,I’ll rent new parents when needed”Reed scoffed and rushed off.
“What?!”Mrs Maori eyes widened.
“Can you see your son? He’s useless! Utterly useless!”Mr Dexter snapped and Mrs Maori rolled her eyes.
“Shouting won’t change a thing,it’s obvious we have only one solution left” Mrs Maori smirked wickedly.

▪︎ALPHA’S CONDO ▪︎
Lennox sat quitely opposite Anaya,watching carefully as she drank slowly from the glass.
“Are you okay now?”Lennox asked gently and she nodded.
“Sorry I had to take you with me,I just couldn’t stand it anymore, you can go back if you want”Anaya muttered,she dropped the cup.
“I didn’t wanna stay back either,so thanks”Lennox smiled. Anaya sighed.
“Do you wanna stay over? The guys went for the weekend,Angelo is busy in the basketball court and Aaron didn’t show up”Lennox said.
Anaya nodded gently.
“You can stay in my room,call me if you need anything”Lennox said and stood up,walking away.
“Thanks….”Anaya muttered.
“What?!”Lennox eyes widened and he turned back quickly.
“You heard me….. Thanks….for atleast being a nice brother and not a heartless playboy”Anaya rolled her eyes and Lennox chuckled.
“I knew you’d say it genuinely,you’d rather grow a tail”Lennox chuckled,Anaya frowned. She picked up a pillow and threw at him.
Lennox ran out laughing.
Anaya sighed and fell back completely on the couch,it didn’t take long her eyes shut gently and she slipped into a deep sleep.
Half an hour later….
The door opened suddenly and Owen walked in.
His eyes darted around the room and fell on sleeping Ana.
His brows pulled together surprisingly.
She laid half sided,almost falling off the couch. Owen quickly walked to her and adjusted her on the couch.
Her face wriggled uncomfortably and she mumbled nonsense.
Owen bit his tongue hard to hold back his laughter.
He pulled her into his arms gently and carried her up in his arms. He walked to a room and kicked the door open gently.
He placed her gently in bed,but her eyes fluttered open cautiously.
“Ana….”Owen whispered carefully and made to move back, but Anaya held him back.
“Stop staring from afar,if you want something just go for it, if you don’t someone else might do it”Anaya whispered sleepily and drifted back to sleep.
Owen blinked confusedly .
“What’s up…..”Micheal stopped midway and stared at the scene.
“What are you doing?”Micheal blinked.
Owen stared down at their current position and bit his lips. He was right untop of her and his hands were on her waist,her hand also clutched to his shirt tightly.
“If you both wanna do something,get another room not mine”Micheal frowned.
“Ìdiot she’s sleeping!”Owen glared and got up gently.
“What did you expect me to think,when to both stayed like that?”Micheal rolled his eyes.
“Someone is in a bad mood”Owen smirked.
“Skyle just took Sia away and I haven’t been able to reach her phone”Micheal muttered.
Owen sighed.
“Do you like her?”Owen asked.
Micheal stared at him for a while and turned away.
“You do….and what if Sklye also has interest in her?”Owen asked carefully.
“He doesn’t!”Micheal snapped.
“How can you be so sure?”Owen said.
“You heard him when he clearly said it,he doesn’t and can’t have interest in her,she isn’t his type”Micheal said.
“And if he does?”Owen pushed further.
“Then she’ll pick who she wants”Micheal said and walked off.
“I just hope it doesn’t get to that”Owen mumbled. He turned back to stare at Anaya and closed the door.

▪︎SKYLE’S PENTHOUSE▪︎
Sia stared nervously at the phone,it’s been an hour now,she got ready since then and was waiting for him.
She waited another thirty minutes but nothing came in.
*SIGHS*
Mrs Bella left to buy some stuffs,and wasn’t back.
Sia just kept walking aimlessly around the house.
She walked into every room she came across,and her mouth part open in a ‘wow’ each time.
She checked through every room leaving just one left,she pushed the door open curiously but her hand slipped from the knob when she saw Skyle there.
His upper body was bare,and dripping segzily as he worked out.
Sia throat dried up instantly she bit her lips softly.
It’s getting worst! What ever she was feeling now…. no way.
She took a step back gently,and tried to leave when…..
“Trying to run,princess?”Skyle’s voice hit her cold and she hicupped nervously.
“How did….”
“I could smell your scent immediately you walked in”Skyle scoffed.
Sia sighed and walked back in.
Aaron stood up and stared her over suspiciously.
“Where are you going dressed like that? Which gang leader do you wanna seduce next?”Aaron frowned.
“What?!”Sia snapped.
“Reed,Micheal, even Drake made a move on you,wonder what’s so special”Aaron scoffed.
“Maybe what you can’t see,even if you wore glasses”Sia huffed and folded her arms on her chest,her nose chilli red.
“Cute”Aaron smirked.
He picked up a bottle can and drank from it.
Sia eyes followed his throat each movement and she swallowed hard.
He dropped the bottle and began walking to her.
Sia eyes widened and she took quick steps back as well,till her back hit a table and she stopped moving.
“No where to run,princess”Aaron smirked,
he leaned in completely against her,their bodies pressing intensely.
The shirt she wore was light so she could feel his whole body on her,the tension,the way his abs pressed her warm stomach.
It made it clutch within.
Aaron suddenly grabbed the juice glass behind her, and moved back with a soft chuckle.
He pushed his hand into his pocket and sipped out the glass,while just kept standing like surprised.
He knew what he was doing. He obviously knew the d@mn effect he had on her but he still does it!!!
Sia frowned at the thought and snatched the glass from his hands,within a blink she gulped it down.
Aaron frowned deeply,his brows pulled together as he watched her savour it.
The last drop washed down her tongue and her eyes widened madly.
PINEAPPLE!!!
The glass slipped from her sweaty fingers and shattered.
“Are you crazy?!”Aaron snapped and moved back.
She coughed out subconsciously and held her chest gently.
“Are you okay? You’re turning pale”Aaron muttered.
The cough got worst and she slipped to the ground,hyperventilating.
“Sia……..”Aaron said and rushed over to her.
Her face was chili red now and her eyes were turning in,red dots spotting on her face.
“What the….”Aaron carried her in his arms and walked straight for his lounge.
He kicked the door open violently and dropped her on the bed.
“It hurts….”Sia stammered painfully clutching tightly to her chest.
Luckily Mrs Bella heard the door noise and rushed in.
“What’s wrong with her?!”Mrs Bella snapped.
“How would I know that? She just held her chest and fell down”Aaron said.
“What…what did she take?”
“She grabbed my glass and drank it…”
“The one I made for you? Pineapple?!..”Mrs Bella cut in and her eyes went wide.
“Allergy drugs… I need to get her allergy drugs and pain ki||ers”Mrs Bella said and Aaron squinted his eyes.
“Arghh!”Sia uttered painfully fisting her fingers on the sheet.
“Skyle, no matter what happens….she…she mustn’t stop breathing”Mrs Bella said and rushed out.
Aaron turned to Sia laying weakly in bed.
This is a side he’s never seen,he’s hurt her countless times but the pain evident in her eyes right now was not explainable.
“It hurts alot…..”Sia uttered with difficultly,hot tears streaming down her cheeks.
Aaron walked to her side,it’s the first time he’s feeling helpless all his life,he couldn’t do anything and for some unknown reasons it hurts badly,it kept piercing somewhere in there.
Suddenly Sia eyes began closing gently,her hold on the sheets lessened and her mouth fell open gently.
Aaron brows furrowed but his eyes went wide when her breaths gently decreased.
“Princess…..” Aaron rushed over to her side and pulled her head up.
She was struggling to breathe the more she tried the more it hurts but the next thing Aaron did was shocking.
He pressed his lips against her parted lips and began passing in air,slowly and softly.
