Tyson was in a daze as he watched the woman he had been thinking about for years comfort the little girl.Then a thought flashed in his mind.Could it be that she is his and Samantha's daughter? Was the little girl telling the truth all along?Just thinking about it brought immense happiness to his heart." Tell me Tara, who made you cry?" The soft voice of a woman could be heard questioning the little doll who was still sniffling back her tears." I found daddy but daddy doesn't want Tara." She replied in her childish voice, pointing at Tyson accusingly.The lady who was squatting earlier turned to look at the direction her daughter pointed.When their eyes met, hers widened in surprise before they turned to anger.She glared at Tyson then picked her daughter before walking away.The spectators watching the whole ordeal couldn't help but whisper among themselves." What's the deal with those three? One person asked." How would I know but wait...do you think the man is the father of
Tyson felt his anger consume every fibre of his being. He could tolerate anybody looking down on him and calling him names. But that did not include his daughter. He would never let anybody disrespect his daughter like that. It didn't matter if that person was his mother-in-law.The aura emanating from his body turned murderous but he fought to suppress it. He couldn't allow himself to scare his little daughter.The whole family turned to see the intruder. The moment they identified who he was, looks of disgust appeared on their faces." Look who decided to return at last. If it's not that good-for-nothing husband of Samantha." Susan spat venomously." It's good that you are back. You should hurry and divorce Samantha so that she can marry someone of her calibre." Susan, Tyson's mother-in-law and Samantha's mother continued." I already said that I won't get a divorce." Samantha's weak voice replied.Her reply angered her mother to no end.Tyson on the other hand was pleased to hear
Besides the Man stood a respectable man from Los Angeles. He was head of the top three most rich and influential families in Los Angeles, Ethan Turner." Why would he think of compensating me after all these years? My mother is already dead, do you think I still want the brilliance Corp back?" Tyson replied gloomily.The brilliance Corp was his mother's sweat and blood. But that family took everything from her before kicking her away.They were banned from ever setting their foot in DC again. Tyson can still remember how his mother had to toil hard, doing odd jobs here in Los Angeles to make ends meet and put food on the table." The master expressed his heartfelt apology to you. He also said he's not trying to buy you off. The company originally belonged to your mother so it should be yours.The house and the car are meant to be betrothal gifts to your wife." The butler explained.After much thinking, Tyson accepted the gifts. The company was his mother's so it was only right to inherit
Her words were kind and considerate. They warmed his heart.But now he was capable of protecting her. In Front of him, the Lewis family was nothing but ants. He could squash every one of them.When he remembered how those Lewis family members humiliated him and Samantha, he could almost not control his bloodthirst.He wanted to destroy them and wipe them from Los Angeles. But at the end of the day he couldn't do that. They were after all Samantha's family.She would be sad if anything happened to them.The last thing he wanted was to see Samantha sad.Although they didn't deserve her care and concern considering how ill they treated her. But his wife was the most kind-hearted person he had ever seen. Tyson believed that the only way to make her cut ties with the Lewis family was to show her how heartless and Inhumane they were.He couldn't sit by and watch as his wife was taken advantage of. He would help her see the true colours of those so called family." Okay, I will do as you say
Just then,a voice interrupted them.Ethan was having a meeting with top management officials of his company when someone notified him about someone causing a scene at the entrance of the hotel. He hurried over to see what was happening.He didn't Imagine he would run Into the young man Tyson Gray.He clearly remembered the Instructions given to him by the Butler of the Carter family of DC.He understood that Lucas was someone important to the current helmsman of the Carter family.Although he and his mother were kicked out of the Carter family, the fact that the helmsman wanted to make peace with him meant that there was a possibility he might return to the family in the future.The Carter family was among the five top families in Washington DC.That was a status every other family dreamed of reaching.It was a family that held immense power and wealth.His family wealth could be multiplied thirty times and still not get half of their assets.That's just how wealthy the top five fami
" Okay." Tyson replied." What do you mean okay? I suspect that grandfather wants to make trouble for you. I suggest you stay behind, I can go and say you got busy with something." Samantha countered.She knew her family. They will use every opportunity to make fun of Tyson. As his wife, she didn't like their behaviour. But she couldn't do anything to defend him. All sfe could do is advise him to stay away from them." Are you worried about me?" Lucas asked, smiling faintly at her.Their eyes met for a moment before Samantha looked away.Her face started to feel hot." Who's worried about you?" She retorted, trying hard to hide her embarrassment.Although Tyson was not wealthy, he was a decent Man and a good father. She had seen that from how well he treated Tara after finding out she was his daughter.She was his wife and was determined to let things stay that way.She never planned on having a divorce, no matter how many times her mother Insisted.She didn't like seeing Tyson being
The people mocked Tyson to their heart's content but the subject of their topic was standing there, unconcerned.It's like the whole discussion had nothing to do with him.Tyson had a pleasant smile on his face, irking the people even more.Samantha on the other hand stood there awkwardly. This is why she didn't want to have Tyson to tag along. " Grandpa,we brought some gifts for you." Samantha announced.Her words however made the people present burst out laughing.She didn't hear or see anything funny about what she just said." What gifts can that good for nothing? are you sure he didn't go scarvaging in the garbage cans for thrown out stuff, hahaha!" Shannon said, making the whole room burst out laughing again." Gifts? I am sure they are counterfeit goods obtained at a throw away price." Another chimed in." You shouldn't embarrass yourself, you should just come and enjoy free food before Leaving." Malicious comments were by the members of the Lewis family.old man Lewis was so p
Tyson sent Samantha home before leaving for the intercontinental hotel.He had some matters to discuss with Jordan concerning the Sarit business Park.Although Tyson was the owner, he had delegated the management to the same man who was responsible for its construction.He didn't have time to run such a small business nor was he interested in dealing with business.If someone heard his thoughts, they would drop dead.How was the Sarit business Park just a small business?It was giving many prestigious families from Los Angeles and other neighbouring states sleepless nights trying to secure a spot for the expansion of their companies,yet here he was, referring to it as a small business.But to Tyson, it was really a small business in his eyes. His wealth accumulated over the five years he served as the captain of the dragon regiment was enough to last him and his whole family a few lifetimes.Tyson prefered maintaining a low key and hiding his true power.With everybody thinking that h
74. Afterwards The wedding games continued up to late night and by then, the elderly and the children had already left for their rooms. Samantha saw Tyson loosen up for the first time as he indulged everyone. "He rarely loosens up and so, we have to take this opportunity and punish him without the fear of any consequences," Carla told Samantha who was also enjoying herself. They partied, drank, dances, played and ate. All this time, Star had Sarah all tied up and in a corner as she watched everything. No one even remembered that she was there. Sarah had cried herself to sleep but everytime she would drift off to dream land, Star would be there to wake her up with a bucket load of ice. "You wanted to enjoy a wedding, didn't you? We thus can't let you sleep. Watch," Star would say everytime. After all were exhausted, it was time to go to sleep. Tyson would take a month off and go on a tour of the world with his daughter and his wife. They planned to stay in Africa for a two we
73. Her paradise They rode up to an island and Samantha could use several adjectives to describe it: beautiful, heavenly, paradise and such. It looked like it had been specifically prepared for them. It had, first if all, clear waters that she could see the fish floating about the natural artwork of the sea bed. The flowers looked planted though sh couldn't see how Tyson could do that. There were roses or all colours, carnations, chrysanthemums, ivies among others. Then she lifted her eyes, there, as she followed the path made by the flowers, was a huge mansion. No, it looked like a castle. The reason why she hadn't seen it was because it was hidden by a beautiful canopy of jacarandas. "It's beautiful!" She breathed and Tyson spoke in her ear, "it's yours love.""What?" Samantha span as she asked and Tyson laughed as he steadied her. Sh had forgotten that she was still wearing her heavy wedding gown and high heels. "It is my wedding present to you. I built it for this day,"
72. SexySamantha wasn't the best pianist but she could hold her own. She had done music as a side course though she hadn't gone far with it due to Sarah's teasing. Sarah made sure to ingrain it in Samantha that she had a bad voice and no one would listen to her. That had made Sam drop her dream of becoming a musician besides being a business woman. Sam looked at the key board and ran her small smooth fingers along the keys and struck one. She then composed herself and a new melody filled the room. Then she started singing:I would have said I love you but that's too simpleI thus composed this song to tell you why I love you Today, I want the sea and the sun to bear witness to my vows I want the world to know who my heart belongs toI love you because the world became beautiful since I met youI love you because my world became compete when you entered itI love you turn all my sorrows to joyI love you because you treat me like a queenI love you because up to today, I get but
71. Enjoy"Are you mad? When did Tyson tell you that he loves you? Isn't he a married man?" Susan asked in disbelief.If she hadn't come here two days ago with her daughters together with Tyson to take care of everything and get ready, she would have believed Sarah because she was so convincing. "He doesn't have to tell me. Haven't you ever realised how he looks at me? He clearly loves me and not Samantha," Sarah said and Susan looked at her well. "Sarah, dear, are you sick? Do you need a psychiatric check up?" Susan asked because that was the only way this could be explained. "What are you saying? You are the one who is mad," Sarah said and before she could add to her statement, she was on the floor. "Listen here b*tch, sorry sweetie. Don't listen to grandma. Cover your ears," Susan turned to talk to Tara who covered her ears with her small index fingers. "Listen, since I got married to the Lewis family, all you and your family have ever did was destroy my family's life. What's
70. A Good Show"I look like a Christmas tree! I can't go out like this!" Samantha complained after she saw her look on the big mirror. "Mummy, you look beautiful. You will keep that dress and give me to get married in. Okay mama?" Tara asked as she circled to see how her mama looked. She was also wearing a purple replica of her mother's dress courtesy of her grandmother. Susan was proud of her handiwork. She had worked tirelessly to make sure that Samantha looked regal, as she called it, during her wedding. Like she, Susan, had vowed, this was going to be the wedding of the century in the state of California. "Let me go out to make sure that everything is okay and that Tyson is ready and I will call Carla to bring you down. Okay Carla?" Susan said as she looked at Carla who, all this time, was still beside Samantha. "Come with me sweetie," Susan said as she took her granddaughter's hand. They walked out and Carla and Patricia started helping Sam straighten her already perfect
69. A fairly tale princess It was Tyson who proposed. He also knew that as a husband, he hadn't given Samantha the wedding she deserved. He thus proposed to her a second time this time, with a proper ring that was made at Tara Jewels without her knowledge. Her mother had made sure to invite the who was who and since many people wanted to be on the good side of Samantha and her husband, after news of what happened to the governor and his son spread out, they made sure to come in large numbers. The room preserved for the presents was full to the brim and the wedding planner had to request the hotel for an extra room. The wedding was being held in an exclusive hotel that was at an island. The only way to access it was through a boat or air. Samantha and her family had come in a helicopter provided by Tyson. By now, Samantha was already used to her husband doing things she couldn't explain. But now, knowing that he was rich and that he was the owner of all the companies she knew, s
68. Another night of... The next thing to happen as Gwen sat there was Mr Seth Miller walking into the shop in a hurry followed by a dozen men and women. "Mrs Gray, sorry to keep you waiting," he said apologetically as he came to where Samantha was seated. "Your husband called and I promise I did all I could as soon as possible and I am here now," he said as he handed Samantha the documents he was holding. "These are the ownership documents for this fashion shop. It now belongs to you. I promise you that they are all legal and it was the transfer that took us long," Seth said and Samantha was out of words. "But Seth, I know nothing about fashion!" Samantha said in a defeated voice."Don't worry ma'am, I will help. I will take care of it. Also Star is idle nowadays and she loves fashion," Carla said and at that Seth smiled. "That's taken care of then. Then, I will be seeing you Mrs Gray," Seth said as he turned to walk away but at that moment, Tyson walked in. As usual, he was i
67. I love violence "Boss, I may have done something stupid," Carla said on the phone to Tyson. She had just recorded Gwen promising to be Samantha's servant if she could prove that Samantha was far much better than her. "What did you do?" Tyson asked as he listened to her. She told Tyson all that had happened and Tyson listened diligently.If there was one person Tyson loved, it was Samantha. And if there was anything that Tyson hated, it was for someone, anyone, humiliating his Samantha. Thus, no matter the promise Carla had made, Tyson would make it happen. What Carla didn't know was that ever since he got married to Samantha, he made it his business to keep tabs on all her former friends.One thing that he noticed was that once she fell from glory, all her friends left her. They humiliated her whatever chance they got and that made her remain the shell of her firmer self. He didn't want to imagine what would have happened for those five years go was away but he had promis
66. Game "We should go shopping. You need more business suits. You are a president of three companies ma'am. You must," Carla said as she argued with Samantha. She noticed that since she started guarding Samantha, the other woman had less than ten decent clothes and she was only using those ones. Yes, she was very beautiful and any dress looked good on her but she needed more clothes. She was a boss herself and was the wife of an even bigger boss. Samantha didn't see the need of getting more clothes. But Carla had permission from her boss to do whatever she wanted with Samantha as long as it was for her good. Carla also loved Samantha because she was a good woman. She never, even for once, made Carla feel like a servant. No. Samantha always treated Carla like an equal and this made Carla treat her like her younger sister. "Carla, I have said this a thousand times and I will say it again, I don't need more clothes," Samantha said in her Samantha way. "Look here sis, I can call y
