They say that a poor man has no say in how the world treats him.I didn't want to believe it and wanted to stand firm on my belief, but life doesn't always work out the way you want it.Life always slaps you in the face with a sickening reality.The sky was bright and the scorching sun burned the skin of the man, who was tending to the garden.I was that man, disregarded and unwanted.I shouldn't be out in this hot sun for any damn reason, because it was literally burning my skin ,but the madam of the mansion, my dear mother in law, was dissatisfied with my earlier work.She practically yelled at me to get out of the house ,she said I didn't do a proper job tending to the garden, so I had to redo it all or I won't be allowed to eat this afternoon in peace and I knew I won't have peace of mind today, I couldn't afford to let that happen, since I just wanted to go to my room and rest.I was so focused on trimming the garden that I didn't pay attention to the scorching sun or the sweat b

I picked up the money and stood erect, and saw my sister in law Lisa coming towards men.I clicked my tongue in annoyance.I knew she had just come to bother me , she would say something about what just happened."If I give you more money ,will you also bend down and pick it, like a lowly cleaner you are, how about I give you money to clean my shoes?" She said as she tossed more money at me and I just clenched my fists and watched her.If not that she was a woman and I didn't want to get into trouble, I would have taught her a lesson, because I was sure she was the one taking the groceries I bought for myself and tossing it in the trash.Wicked bitch."Won't you pick up the money?" She asked mockingly and I just ignored her and walked past her.I would rather walk for a thousand miles to walk than take her money."Look at how you are acting like a proud man, when you don't even have money for a cab, useless man! Take the money or your stomach will feel the pain of your stupidity." She

During the weekend after tending to the garden, I walked in to see Riley was sitting on the couch in the living room, when a maid got a glass of orange juice for her and dropped it on the table.Riley was deep in thoughts, she didn't even see me walk into the mansion.Riley looked at the tray of orange juice and an evil smile slowly formed in her face."Are you alright?" I asked her and she snapped out of her thoughts and turned to me."When did you get in here?" She asked in surprise."Just a minute ago." I responded."Oh." She mumbled and looked away as she took another sip from her glass cup.I proceeded to walk upstairs when I saw my father in law coming, thirty minutes after I was in the room.Riley opened the door and walked in , she was holding a tray of orange juice resting on the tray.I just finished tending to the garden and had changed into comfortable clothes. I was scrolling through his phone while resting on the bed when Riley walked in and I smiled.Even though I was s

"Ah! Help baby!" I heard in my sleep, as a slap landed on my face jolting me upright ,as I turned to see the assailant with my hand on my cheeks.It was morning and here I am seeing a girl in just a shirt in bed with me glaring at me."Who are you and how did you get in here?" I asked the girl."How dare you touch me?" She asked in anger and I was about to speak when the door burst open and my friend ran in."Baby what happened?" He asked the girl who ran to him and embraced me."He touched me!" She cried out ,as I got off the bed."What nonsense are you talking about? I just woke up and saw you in the bed, when did I touch you?" I asked her in annoyance.What is wrong with these women, framing me of things I didn't do?"Alex, how dare you assault my girlfriend ,when I gave you a room to sleep in?" Paul, my friend, asked me angrily, as he rushed to grab my collar and I was taken aback, as I tried prying his hands off my collar but it just tightened."L..let go..." I pushed him hard ,b

I sighed."I never say too much, everyone has secrets," I told him and he eyed me suspiciously."Check your phone for bugs by someone else, get your brother in law out of your home , if you want your company to move ahead, ask him about it or set a trap for him, that's left for you to do." I gave him a lot of suggestions."I don't want to accuse my brother-in -law...." He tried to say, but I cut him off."Mr Daniel, sentimental feelings should be put aside, when dealing in business," I reminded him.I was a fool for forgetting."You should only think about your company and the money you will lose if this continues happening, if you lose all that money even your so-called brother in law would insult you for not handling your money properly." I reminded him and he dropped his head to think.I know he did not want to confront his brother-in -law ,because it's his wife's brother and it might cause problems between him and his wife if he does.But his company.He should think about it."I
