The guards took her away from the premises, away from Robert and threw her by the road side. She looked absolutely miserable as she sat there crying. She had been in her room sulking, as usual when her informant called and had left immediately after without doing anything. Robert, on the other hand got into his car and zoomed off without looking at her, even for once. She watched his car pass right in front of her with tears in her eyes. She couldn't blame herself for leaving Robert, even when she knew that she was at fault. She regretted going through with the divorce, as it was right before he discovered his fortune. With dried tears on her face, she stood up and clenched her fists in rage. The anger she felt was one of a great force and devilish intent. Before that time, she was willing to go through anything for him to take her back but she had never been so humiliated, like what had just happened that morning. She boiled in anger, her being bubbling with hate for the man she had

The battle line had been drawn. One that Robert himself, who was considered a participant was not even aware of. He was at home that afternoon after his meeting with the head of Wright Communication Company, Mr Wright. The man's words kept playing in his head. They were pure, yet filled with desperation. As he headed to his grandfather's room, that was all he could think about. He was not yet familiar with all the businesses under his control and his plans to travel around the world too, had to be put on halt. He walked the hallway, now very confidently, no longer in total awe of the floor type and beauty. Although he was still impressed by it all but it was no longer the way it was when he first came. Besides, it was his house, his estate.He opened the door to his grandfather's room but was surprised to not find him in his bed, where he usually laid or seated in his couch. He closed the door gently behind him as his eyes scanned the room thoroughly."Grandfather?" He called out gent

Chapter 55: Sparks"See you at home, grandfather," Robert said as the elevator door shut, taking Jude down. He turned and faced Juliet, a wide smile on his face. "So, Juliet, how are you?" He asked as he walked to her desk, where she was arranging some things. Her hair flared against her face, covering one of her eyeballs. She looked up nervously and smiled, her ocean-blue eyes fluttering then looked down again. Robert stared back at her, expecting her to say something but when she didn't, he was a bit confused. He wondered if everything was alright with her. He tilted his head to the side with a slightly worried look on his face as he contemplated on whether to repeat the question or not. Juliet appeared to be nervous as she took a little statue from the box and placed it on the table shakily. "Is everything okay?" Robert finally asked, seeing her body movements."Oh! Everything is fine. I am fine, sir." She chuckled nervously, she looked up quickly, meeting his eye then she looked aw

"Oh! That's nice. You both attended the same university, I see." Robert said enthusiastically, missing the cold air between his friend and his secretary. "So how have you been, Liam? Where have you been?" He continued. Liam's eyes moved from Juliet to Robert, a happy spark in them as he turned."I've been around, you know. Just work and all that but I'm okay. I've been good. What about you? I've been to this eatery a number of times and I've never seen you." Liam asked curiously. He was very happy seeing Robert and wanted to know everything. And so did Robert."Well, I just started working over there." He paused, moving his head in the direction of the skyscraper just across the road. "So I came here with Juliet to have lunch.""Ahh! I see. Must be nice. The place looks good." Liam paused, his expression suddenly getting intense. "But what happened bro? We never got to see you after high school. Some of our mates actually said something had happened to you but I refused to believe it.

For a moment, it seemed like time froze. Robert and Liam paused everything they were yapping about, their eyes on Juliet as she stood there with a forced smile on her face. In Robert's mind, he could only wonder how much of a beautiful woman she was, while Liam wondered how things went wrong between him and a woman of such calibre. The suspense almost seemed to be unending until Liam spoke."So fast. Why? We haven't even had lunch yet." She didn't expect him to be the one to say anything first. She glanced over at him for a moment, meeting his eye. She felt cold and uncomfortable, Turing her face from him immediately."Yes, Liam is right. Why do you want to leave when we haven't even had the lunch we came here for?" Robert finally said, leaning his back on his seat. She smiled nervously, pushing her hair back as she thought of what to say. The truth was that she was not comfortable being there with Liam, especially in front of her boss. But she couldn't say that, could she?"Umm... Si
