Chapter 31Instantly, her phone lit up for a message and she brought out her phone and checked. Her mouth opened wide so it became difficult for her to close it back.“$300,000?” Fear instantly gripped her and tears of joy and appreciation began to drop down from her eyes. Remembering how her family had been suffering for years made her son. Before Michael could open his mouth to talk she fell on her knees. Her eyes formed with tears. “Thank you so much, sir. May God bless you abundantly. Thank you, thank you…” Her head was bowed to the ground at his glittered shoes, thanking him endlessly.“That's enough, stop bowing to me as if I'm a God.” Michael glanced down at her and smiled.“No, no, no. Allow me to keep kneeling.” She shook her head. “You don't know how you have changed my life and that of my family's life for good…”“That's enough for now. Please get out.” He extended his hand to her; she hesitated but later gave him her hand, and he helped her to get on her feet.Michael s

Chapter 33“Where did you go last night and why are these things still here?” He yelled at him and walked to where he was, giving him a sound slap.Michael screamed hard and held onto where he was slapped. This was the hardest slap he had ever received in his entire life.His face was faced to the ground after the slap landed on his face. His face reddened in rage as he painfully lifted it and looked at Stephen. He wanted to hit this man back if not because he was his father-in-law and also because he was advanced in age.Slowly, his eyes landed on Rose who shook her head in pity. Then to Joseph, Fred, and his mother-in-law, who were all nodding their heads in satisfaction as they let out a light giggle.The last person his eyes met with was Grandma Isabella and he saw the angry look on her face at what her son did to him.“Don't you know that it's your duty to pack the dirty plates to wash them once we're done eating?” Stephen continued in a seethed voice.However, Michael became fu

Chapter 35 Not long after, Rose walked down the stairs and she was holding a paper. She walked straight to where Michael was standing and shoved the paper that was in her hand to his face. “Sign this paper now!” She commanded. Michael was surprised at her action as he looked around, trying to get an explanation. “Sign? What's the paper for? And why do you want me to sign them?” He asked and stopped cleaning. Everyone stood on their feet, looking puzzled as they went closer to watch the scene unfold. “I'm tired of living and spending my life with a low-life man like you, Michael. Can't you see that my mates are making a mockery of me just because I got married to someone like you? I'm tired for Christ's sake.” “I understand. But how is that related to me signing a paper?” He asked, his eyes lingered on the papers that were on the ground. But he couldn't read what was written on them. “Because I don't want you in my life any longer. In case you don't know, it's a divor

Chapter 37 “Please do, big sis. I can't wait to have Fred as my new brother-in-law.” Joseph chirped in. “I will, Joseph.” ****** The next morning, Uncle John took Michael to a sophisticated building that was made of Gold. After half an hour of driving inside the estate, they finally stopped, and two able-bodied men in black suits came out and opened the door for them with a slight bow. They both came down almost at the same time since Uncle John made use of the left-hand door and Michael the right-hand door. The moment that they stepped down, Michael's eyes darted around everywhere. The whole compound was well-cleaned. He wasn't perplexed since he was already swimming in wealth but he didn't understand why Uncle John had brought him to such a place that was in the form of a paradise on earth. Immediately, a group of maidservants came running out of the house to welcome them. Michael, at this moment, was dressed in his wealthy suit, and no one needed to be told tha

Chapter 39“Who are you, please?" Michael asked politely, trying to keep his voice steady. "I mean, am I not speaking with my Grandma? Grandma Isabella?" "I'm sorry but she's currently on treatment, sir." "What? On treatment? What happened to her?" Michael panicked.“I'm sorry I have to attend to her now. Please, come over to the hospital and see her for yourself.” “The name of the hospital, please?” Michael quickly asked before the Doctor could hang up. He began to bite his lips as he got up from his seat, walking here and there. Suddenly, his phone lit up for a message and quickly he opened it.It was a message that bore the name of the hospital in it.Quickly, he ran up the stairs heading to his room. “Grandma, I won't let anything happen to you.” He was talking under a fast breath until he got to his room.He swiftly removed his expensive clothes, slipped back into his worn clothes, and headed outside with a run as if he had been chased after. The maids were all astonished as
