Derek's hands trembled greatly, it was Morphie, Brenda's elder brother calling.Just a feet away from his mother in law on to fall in the hands of the son.All along, Derek was sure Morphie's call would only add more salt to his injury, but which seemed better, to pick and get insulted or avoid and receive a bigger bundle of visitation?To avoid the second option from happening, which only God knew what dimension it could take, Derek picked the call.Immediately, he was greeted by hot venomous words. "Bloody asshole! What took you so long in picking up my calls? Scared that I might chop that annoying face of yours off huh?" Derek left with no choice, leaned on his chin and allowed the ocean of words to fall directly on his laps. "You've got no shame I must say," Morphie chuckled loudly mockingly and continued. "Even a lazy asshole like you is prepared to be a father huh! You've got no job yet you've got some shameless thing between that thigh of yours to put my sister in the family

"I'll answer all your questions, do not worry.""You were so little when it all happened, one more reason you can't remember anything in your past." Gage said."Your father and mother were wealthy people, in fact, they weren't just wealthy but also famous, they were known all over the world.""Everything was going well until one unfortunate day, your family was betrayed by one of your father's followers." Gage implied with a frown.His eyes held so much pain and sadness in them, the memories of the past were so vivid it felt like yesterday when it all happened."Betrayed! By who?" Derek asked.Gage stared deeply into Derek's eyes, he knew his next words would come as a shock to him. Nevertheless, it was a truth he deserved to know."By your wife's parents, Mr and Mrs Reid.""What!" Derek yelled in shock. "Y… you've got to be mistaken, these people raised me like their own child.""No Derek, your father and mother got involved in an accident which claimed their lives and the Reid's sa

It was a thing of amazement to realize who the stand-in chairman was. Instead of that great exuding aura of meeting a man as he thought, he met a young, beautiful and elegant looking lady.Sonia Stark was a young woman of great splendor, she was known throughout the whole Dominican as a renowned business lady, principled and capable in all she did.No one ever crosses her path without an invitation, she earned all of that respect for herself at a very young age, coupled with all these attributes, she earned herself a promotion as the stand in chairman, second in command that is the vice chairman.Being a pauper was never an attribute to make your sight fade off, as such Derek could tell when he saw a beauty. Sonia was charming, one of those you could call a little goddess.She's one of the great factors that has brought about the stability of the Emerald group till date.On her part, she was equally shocked to see a decent young man come in, all along she had expected to meet at least

Brenda's announcement sent a shock throughout the meeting room. While Mrs Reid didn't give a damn about who went, all she wanted was someone going.Mr Reid, who has been quiet, found a frown plastered on his face, and to Morphie he couldn't help but mock sarcastically. "Brenda do you think you worth going to the Emerald group and bagging that contract?" Mr Reid did say. "Common girl, you only will humiliate us and nothing more, this will only add to the Reid's problem if we fail." He tried to discourage her.Brenda felt her legs losing the strength in them, she felt blood rush to her whole body in embarrassment.Everyone had practically taken her to be such an outsider the moment she decided to marry Derek. She felt if she could sign the deal, then perhaps she could have a new definition in the presence of her mum, dad and Morphie.Just as she thought about how much that could work, she found herself withdrawing from the idea, as a result of the sarcastic comments and condemnation.S

Sonia had been more of having the worst morning to having a whole day messed up. Never has she intended to skip duties that morning until little things that shouldn't have happened began to.At first, she left her home as usual, but she hadn't gone far in her car when there was a lot of arising confusion battling within her stomach.She needed to order the driver for a u-turn. Hurriedly, she made use of the restroom, as if the first wasn't enough, she visited the restroom over and over again as one who used a laxative.Finally, she had landed in the hospital, helplessly, her day was just so messed up that she was unable to send a call across to the office informing the secretary of her absence.The hospital had added to her issues, they made sure her phone was switched off to prevent disturbances.Unknown to her, a lot and more had happened in her absence.***"Get away from me Derek, I don't want to see you come closer!" Brenda yelled out in disgust."If only you never raised the ide
