CHAPTER THIRTY-ONE
They sat in the meeting room with the judge looking at him. After she asked him the questions, she did. He didn’t know what to say or do at the moment. He knew whatever he was going to say; he needed to be careful with that. Anything else was going to put him in trouble.Jackson had played his game now. He had made sure it was in a deep hole. Because those only prove to other board members that he was ruining things. Ever since he came into power, nothing had gone right in the company.“Mr. Trevor, you do know you need to speak, right? We are just asking you questions because we are trying to get to the bottom of what happened. Your company has wine that contains drugs that can be very dangerous for human consumption. What can you say about that?” She asked as she leaned closer to him.“There is nothing he can say about that, my judge. He knew his wine was filled with drugs. He just needed money and proved to himself that he was no longer the commoner we all think he was. But instead

CHAPTER THIRTY-TWO
after seeing that he wasn’t believing her, and that he just wanted to see it for himself, she took him to the TV room.“Mateo, this is where you go home. I’m sure your wife and son are waiting for you. And you need to go and try to find other means to support your claims when Eliza finds out you spent your money on gambling,” he told him as the man tried to follow them behind.“Come on, brother-in-law. Maybe I can help,” he said, even failing to keep his balance in check.Trevor just shook his head, “I think you are tired, man. You need to go home. Ask any of the drivers to take you home. I don’t think you can drive yourself home.” He said and followed Mubanga behind.“How do you put up with them? I don’t think I can manage dealing with such a family. I know they are your wife’s family, but come on man. They made your life a living hell. Especially that grandma and Eliza’s mother. Why are they in your house?” Micheal asked as they walked in the passageway.“I have been asking myself t

CHAPTER THIRTY-THREE
“How are you walking so perfectly just when, in a few minutes, you couldn’t walk properly? You are supposed to be badly drunk, Mateo,” he said, walking to the man.Mateo turned as he smiled at Trevor, “well, I drum some water and some medication I got from the pharmacist to help with my beer drinking. I think it’s working.”Trevor studied the man, and he knew he wasn’t telling him the truth. Something was off and if he was not going to do anything about it, he would be doomed for good. He needed to be careful with the people he needed to trust. It seemed like everyone was out to get him. Like the whole world was against him.“Mateo, go home,” he said and walked to the meeting. But as he walked, a lot of questions ran through his head. There were just way too many coincidences that happened for what he was thinking to be false.As the man showed up at the perfect time, they were discussing what they needed to do about the person that Jackson might have used to put drugs in the wine. An

CHAPTER THIRTY-FOUR
He sat in a bar as he enjoyed a cap of beer he ordered. After everything that he just went through, he decided to take some of the pressure out, and he thought it best to go to a bar.After taking a few shots, he could barely walk, and then a woman walked over and helped him when he nearly fell on the table.“There you go,” she spoke with a constricted voice. “I think you need to stop taking this now,” she said and took the bottle of beer from him. “I will pay you,” she said and gave money to the bartender before she walked in outside the bar. “Can you remember where your place is?” She asked as they stopped. “Or what car you came in?” She added, trying to make him look at her. “And you smell,” she said.He tried looking as much as he could have managed, but he could barely make out her face. All he knew was she had a British accent, and that was that. Also, her hair was long because it kept blushing his face as she carried him to the car.“So, we will go to my house and then maybe to

CHAPTER THIRTY-FIVE
The whole time in his mind, he thought something might have happened between her and Jackson. Then why would she try to have him kidnapped so that she could marry Jackson? Something might have happened between them for her to make such a decision.And they were childhood friends. The man has been in her life more than he could have been. And her whole family loved him and wanted him to marry Eliza. So Trevor thought they might have done something behind him. And maybe that was why he was not feeling that much guilt that something might have happened between him and Angela. It was only fear, after all.He looked at her as he dressed up, after he said that to her, she had been quiet. And that made him feel stupid and like he was not a good person for maybe sleeping with another woman.All his life, he was trying to get closer to her. Ever since he got married to her. Actually, ever since Mr. Noah introduced him to her. After that night, she took his heart, and it has been hers ever sinc

CHAPTER THIRTY-SIX
“Angela, what the hell are you doing here?” He asked and walked to her. “As if sending pictures to my wife was not enough, you follow me here. What do you want exactly from me woman,” he said for only her to hear.Mubanga just stood there in stunned disbelief at what was happening. “Have you two met?” She finally asked as she watched them exchange a few more words.“Well, kind of. What is she doing here?” He asked, looking at Mubanga.“Well, she is the new ambassador for the wine I told you about,” she said, still looking from one to the other, trying to understand what was happening.He turned to look at Angela who was just smiling, and all the questions he tried to forget about came back to him all over again. What did she want from him? What was her motive in sleeping with him? And sending those pictures to Eliza. Was she just doing it for fun, or did she have something else planned for him?“Why didn’t you say something about it? And was there no one available apart from her?” He

CHAPTER THIRTY-SEVEN
He sat across from Eliza in his office as he tried to explain to her what he made of everything. He knew she might not be able to help him with her brother. He knew maybe she might side with her brother even this time, as she always has been. But to him, there was no better way for him to see if this time she was going to be on his side or not.“Trevor, that makes no sense, my brother would never do that to anyone. How do you even suggest such a thing to me? I know my family can be a little too much. But putting drugs in your wine? I don’t think so. And you just told me that Mateo and you are now friends. What happened to that?” She asked, sipping on the wine. “This is some pretty wine. I’m sure it will sell out in a few,” she smiles at him.He just smiled back at her and took a few shares of the wine himself, “I thought about what I just told you like for hours, Eliza. I didn’t want to talk about it this morning when I got back, you know from…” he just gestured, failing to formulate

CHAPTER THIRTY-EIGHT
“Trevor, I'm telling you the truth. That woman wants you,” she said as he drove them back home.He just smiled because she had been saying that ever since they left the office. He didn’t even know what to tell her at this point. He just seemed to enjoy the fact that she was scared someone was going to take him away from her. Somehow that seemed to delight him.For the first time, he wasn’t the one being scared that someone was going to take his wife from him. For the first time, his wife showed him that she was scared, and she didn’t want anyone else to take him from her.“Eliza, I’m sure you are just overthinking things. She is a harmless woman who just doesn’t know when to pull planks. I’m sure she even had a boyfriend, heck, even a husband,” he said.“Please, just hear me out. We know when things are not right. That is just who we are. A woman can see what men can’t see, Trevor. And I’m seeing someone that wants to snatch my husband from me,” she said, glaring at him.“Alright, wha

CHAPTER THIRTY-NINE
He stood in the witness box as the man walked forward and presented a Bible to him. Then he asked him if he was willing to tell the truth and nothing but the truth.Knowing everything he was going to say would be true, he just agreed to what the man said to him. He looked to his left and there sat the anxious Eliza. Looking at him with a forced smile. Even after he kept telling her everything was going to be okay, she still insisted that things did not look okay to her.She was scared because Jackson and his father hired the best lawyer in the whole city and so far he has been doing a good job. And she only had Micheal and her husband’s words.But she seemed to have been underrating the man a bit. Because he had something kept for Jackson and his father.“So, Mr. Mwansa, I believe you took Eliza from my client, right?” A chubby dark skinned man asked as he walked about the place.He didn’t understand the question, but he still answered, knowing where it was all going to lead. He knew

CHAPTER 40
“Brother-in-law, finally you have shown up,” he said as he tripped and then Trevor got him. “T-tell these people that you and I are best friends. Actually, we are family. A-and,” he tried to move but again nearly fell if it wasn’t for Trevor quickly helping him up. “Tell them that this office is also mine,” Mateo said as he looked at Trevor, and then his eyes widened as he looked at his sister. “Sister,” he said, laughing, and then moved to her. “So happy you two have finally made up. Always knew you would end up together, you know? Grandfather did a great job bringing you two together,” he said, trying to lean on her.“Mateo, what the hell is wrong with you? What do you think you are doing here? And in this state,” she gestured for his filthy clothes.“Everyone, you can go to work. I will deal with this. Come on now, move along,” he said, clapping his hands for everyone to leave the passageway.They all left talking and laughing amongst themselves. And when they went out of sight he
