Stepping into the toy store, Ansel made his way to the Mr Goldy fish toys. His eyes quickly scanned the shelves, and he picked up every last toy he could find, filling the white plastic bags with a smirk on his face.Ansel carried the bags of Mr Goldy toys back to his suite, feeling good about his successful purchase. The toys were heavy, but Ansel was used to carrying things and it wasn't hard for him.In about five minutes, Ansel arrived at the suite.He went straight to Samantha's room and knocked on the door with his head.His hands were full and that was his only alternative.Meanwhile, Samantha was preparing to sleep when she heard a knock on her door.She had a facemask on and thought it was probably the room service agents so she went ahead to open the door.Samantha gulped an invisible lump down her throat when she found out that the person was Ansel.Without warning, she ran into her bathroom to wash off the beauty face mask away from her face.It would be so embarrassing fo
The next day evening, as the sun started to set, a sleek black Rolls Royce phantom VIII arrived outside Ansel's residence. They were heading to a seven star restaurant which belonged to the Castillo's.Ansel approached the car and Anthony opened the rear door. He climbed inside, and Anthony got back in the driver's seat. With Ansel seated, Anthony steered the car onto the road.In the backseat of the car, Ansel found himself growing increasingly restless. To occupy himself, he pulled out his phone, his gaze skimming over the screen as he mindlessly scrolled through his notifications. He wasn't going to have a boring ride and so he decided to watch some short reels on his phone.After watching the most of the reels he could find, he thought of them as boring and so he shoved his phone into his pocket.Soon, they arrived at Castillo's seven star restaurant.When the car stopped, Anthony was about to open the door for Ansel. But before he could do that, Ansel signaled him to stop. "I c
Grandfather Kian's tone softened slightly, though his words still held a note of warning. "Ansel is the man I know is right for you, Thora. He's a good man, a man who will treat you well. Now, please behave yourself and trust that I have your best interests at heart."His eyes searched Thora's face, his expression softened as he continued."I know this is a lot to take in, but you need to trust me on this. Ansel is the one for you."However, Thora's mood was already ruined and she couldn't hide her displeased expression.How could grandfather Kian do this to her?She had agreed to an arranged marriage but she had no idea that she would be arranged to marry Ansel."What's wrong, Thora? You don't seem very happy" Ansel said with a teasing smile.As for him, he was fine with whoever his grandfather paired him with, as long as she knew not to interfere in his business.Thora snorted in disgust and grabbed some napkins on the table, she threw them with full force at Ansel and they landed di
After having dinner, grandfather Kian went ahead to discuss plans for their engagement ceremony.They selected a location and a date and they all agreed with it.Thora's initial panic began to fade as she thought about the potential upside of a marriage with Ansel. ‘Well, if he doesn't want anything from me, then it'll be more like a business deal, right? No biggie,’ she mused to herself. It was just a marriage on paper and she would never fall for a man like Ansel.They soon talked about the engagement preparations and how to go about it. When the conversation was over, Ansel, grandfather Kian and Thora walked out of the restaurant.Grandfather Kian had already gotten to his car and Ansel walked alongside Thora."Can I drive you home?" Ansel asked in a raspy voice, the type of voice that would make any woman turn their heads to look at him a second time but Thora wasn't moved.She rolled her eyes in disbelief."I'm not going to get into a taxi with you, Ansel. As you can see, I'll
On the table was Samantha's phone and Ansel read the messages carefully.Ansel couldn't control the frown that appeared on his face.The people who had sent her the message seemed to be bullying her and it didn't turn out to be a good message.Ansel stopped to read the messages, it wouldn't be right if Samantha caught him reading the text, she wouldn't like it.He also wouldn't like it if someone had randomly opened his inbox to read messages.Ansel stepped away from the table, he shoved his hands into his pocket and proceeded to walk away.He passed by Samantha's room and a fragrance caught his attention.It was the type of fragrance that she wore when going to work in the morning.But this time around, the scent was more obvious and it wasn't like the faint scent that she carried around.Ansel remembered what he had seen on her phone.Could it be that she was going to do what her family advised her to?Shaking his head, Ansel decided that he would try to stop her from making a fool
The next day, Ansel and Samantha headed to the hospital. The visit had been Ansel's idea, and though Samantha had hesitated at first, she'd eventually come around to it last night.Now, they were about to see her brother together and Samantha couldn't stop herself from feeling restless.Ansel had also made a bold promise to Samantha during their conversation last night. He'd assured her that if he couldn't figure out a way to help her brother, he'd give her the money she needed. While they were on their way, they bought chicken soup and that was placed in a polythene bag which Samantha was holding.The hospital reeked of antiseptic and Ansel couldn't help but scrunch his nose.He hated the smell of hospitals and it was one of the reasons why he preferred traditional medicines.They made him feel like puking and Ansel didn't like the feeling.But this wasn't about him, Ansel was here to see Fred and so he quickly adapted to the smell.Fred was laying on the bed,he looked like he had b
Samantha still couldn't get over the shock that Ansel treated her cousin with just herbal medicine.She fell on her knees, her hand kept in a praying position as she thanked Ansel."Thank you so much young master Ansel. You have done so much for me and I don't know how to thank you for healing my brother." Tears welled up in her eyes and she went ahead to hold Ansel's trouser."Stand up Samantha" Ansel said through gritted teeth, he didn't like the fact that she kneeled to thank him.Samantha immediately got up, she had no idea that Ansel was a healer.Ansel saved her brother and she didn't know how else to thank him.He was more than a boss, Ansel was now her savior.Samantha vowed to always be by his side and assist him in any way that she could.Even if it meant giving him her body then she was ready to do that.Meanwhile, Fred was now in front of a mirror, the hot chicken soup that he drank earlier did some work of giving him some color.As for his skin, it wasn't looking as bad a
Madam Kiara kept giving Ansel dirty looks.Her daughter was about to get married to a rich man in the country but Samantha decided to settle for a man like Ansel.She didn't bother to hide her disgust for Ansel and made it obvious.However, Mr George knew that he had to thank Ansel in some way and so he invited him to eat lunch with them.Madam Kiara who was scrolling through her phone raised her head up immediately.She had prepared them a special lunch to celebrate her daughter's engagement and wouldn't want Ansel to have a taste of any of her meals.Food was expensive these few days and giving a man like Ansel seemed like a waste of food."The meals that I prepared can not feed all of us. I suggest that we only offer Samantha's boyfriend a glass of juice. That's a much better option. Brother George, don't forget that we are here to celebrate Ana's engagement to the one and only son of the Lugard family. We can't make Ana go hungry on her special day." Madam Kiara said, her words sh
