"Sir, the statement you made earlier. Do you mean it or you were joking?" Dennis broke the silence as they walked into the hospital.The hospital was no longer bustling since it was Monday. "Joking? In National TV?" He smirked while shaking his head. "I meant every word that escaped from my mouth." He said."B- - But you already married. I mean, we spent over half a billion dollars for that wedding." Dennis reminded him with a voice filled with disbelief."Dennis, I didn't exchange vows with her. We didn't kiss. We didn't share our rings. We didn't do anything! Is that supposed to be a memorable wedding?" He raised a brow, looking annoyed and worried.Dennis fell shut, unable to say a word."Every woman dreams of a perfect wedding with their lover, I don't want Melanie to settle for less so whatever thing I'm doing, I have to make sure that she has no regret." He meticulously explained to Dennis and he sighed."Fine, fine." Dennis put a hand on his waist. "I'm just worried because pe
“Didn’t the doctor also tell you that I wouldn’t be able to give birth again? What can you do with a barren woman?” Melanie’s statement continuously banged in his head.No matter how hard he tried to forget about it, he couldn’t. There was deep meaning in what she said. It was also something meaningful that he had to debate upon but he couldn’t risk losing her.“Barren?” The news was still shocking, he leaned on the bar with his wine-filled glass cup in his hand. He sighed heavily each minute something crossed his mind.Another thing that bothered him was “a child”. Could he survive without a child?His reverie was broken by the ringing of his phone, he quickly picked it up when he saw the caller.“I’m all ears.” He spoke first.“Boss, we found the missing CCTV memory card, I don’t know if it’s still useful.” The caller informed him calmly.“What?” He stood upright. “But, the police said they couldn’t find anything in the venue.” As he spoke shakily on the phone, he quickly wore his s
"Who is this person?" His brows furrowed, staring at the picture in his hand. Dennis shook his head."I don't know. I was also surprised when I saw it." Dennis informed him."Here I thought it was my stepfamily. They had no idea about it." He rubbed his chin. "It seems I have gotten myself another enemy." He exhaled sharply."Sir, this is not a joking matter. We have to find who this person is." Dennis urged him."I wasn't planning on staying idle, Dennis. You have to hire the best investigator to do a clean job." He paused. "What did the cyber security team say was his name?" He raised a brow."Brown Chester. Mr. Brown Chester." That was the only information they could get about him, after scanning this image.He sighed heavily. "Get them to work right now." He instructed anxiously.Soon there was a knock on the door and the person stepped in. It was Mateo, looking so impatient."Bro, I just checked. Our family has nothing to do with your wedding incident." Mateo informed him."I kno
“Who told you that and how legit is it?” Madam Felicia raised a brow, staring at Martins.“I heard from my lawyer. He also gave me directives.” Martins informed her with certainty.“I haven’t heard that.” Madam Theresa rubbed her chin.“But if it’s legit, then, we have to do something about it.” Madam Felicia nodded her head cryptically.“I can assure everyone that I can get documents, files, and evidence to prove my eligibility towards this family’s wealth but as for causing trouble for Jamal and ruining his image, it would be a little difficult.” Martins sighed.“Leave that to us.” Madam Felicia and Madam Theresa exchanged knowing stares.“As long as it has to do with staining his reputation, we are good at it. Just make sure you have good evidence and file showing how worthy you are of his position.” Madam Felicia said, smiling mischievously.“Talking about our children, where is Nathan? I haven’t been seeing him around.” Madam Felicia faced Madam Theresa.“He traveled, I also have
"I never thought we would be doing this again." Clara sighed as they strolled into the wedding shop."Right? But I can't keep bantering over this with him." She sighed. "Let's get married again." She smiled."You know, you are so lucky to have someone as understanding and nice like Jamal," Clara confessed. "Like, which man would do this? I know he is trying to protect his reputation or whatever but when you have given him a chance to leave, he stayed." Clara almost gasped. "I really love this man for you." Clara nodded her head."Hello, do you love it as I blush like a rabbit?" She said with sarcasm lingering in her voice. "Of course, I'm glad to have him with me. It feels like a dream." She sighed happily."But- -" Clara suddenly turned nervous. "But-" Clara made a comeback but couldn't continue."But what?" She raised a brow."I don't mean to sound interested or something but I'm just anxious." Clara sounded so shy and giddy, it was obvious that she was hiding something that Melanie
“Who are you? What are you trying to do?” Clara and Melanie struggled, trying to pull the bind they used in binding their hands and their eyes.“Help! Help!” Melanie yelled at the top of her voice but the strange man on a black nose mask laughed in mockery.“Save your strength for later, ladies. The window is tinted, no one can see or hear you.” His husky disgusting voice irritated them.“What do you want from us? If you keep doing this, I assure you, my father will never let you go scot-free.” She scoffed, trying to threaten him but he laughed.“So, should I start crying?” He smirked. “Just keep quiet if you don’t want to get hurt!” He warned them coldly before looking at the road. He was driving at high speed and the area he was curbing the car towards was far from the mainstream of government. It seemed he was taking them to the abandoned part of the city or like a village?“Sister, what does he want from us?” Clara mumbled, with her teeth gritting as she was already feeling scared
"Keep the money in the car and step down." The strange man instructed him seriously.Gradually, he stepped down with his hand in the air."I will leave only if you give me the girls." He bidded."Do you think your voice counts in this case?" The strange man scoffed. "If you don't want me to harm them, do as I say!" The man threatened him."This is a deal, you know? How can I trust you when you don't even trust me?" He rolled his eyes. "The sum of $500,000 billion is in the car, give me the girls and it's all yours." He informed him abruptly."$500,000 billion? That's too much, Jamal." Melanie retorted and the man hit her.He was angered. "Don't you dare touch her!" He warned him seriously."What can you do, weak man?" The man laughed. "I have my men stationed at every corner, if you don't play cool, you might not return home." The man scorned him."And did you think I came unprepared?" He curled his lips and the man became anxious. The man's eyes rolled around the isolated area."Are
He watched as the strange man entered his car and drove off with money in it.“Babe!” Melanie rushed up to him and they embraced tightly.“I’m really sorry for this mess.” He mumbled, kissing her hair. “Are you okay?” They pulled from the hug with his eyes all over her face.“I’m fine. He didn’t hurt us.” She shook her head as Clara approached them.“Thanks for saving us, Mr. Jamal,” Clara said and he shook his head.“It’s my fault. I would have placed guards with you after the last thing that happened.” He scolded himself.“But- -” Clara's eyes wandered into the quiet area before returning to them.They looked at her. “But, what?” They questioned, almost in unison.“He has left with the only car we have. What do we do?” Clara raised a brow and then it dawned on them that they had nothing to return with, not even a phone.“Oh!” He roughly scratched his hair then something came into his mind, and he smiled. “Don’t worry, Dennis will be here soon.” He assured them and unconsciously, on
