“Where are you taking me to?” He closed her door and went over to the driver's seat, he entered the car and started the engine immediately.“You will see when we get there.” He said.“We should at least start planning our wedding and maybe, sign the marriage certificate.” She rambled with words anxiously.“One at a time, Nina.” He smiled, adding more pressure to the throttle which sped up the ride.She sighed heavily and relaxed on the chair.This wasn’t how gloomy or desperate her life was but something happened, something triggered her, and she had to act the way she acted to get the right one.Some would say she is a heiress in disguise but it’s different. She closed her eyes briefly, feeling relieved that she had accomplished her mission.Maximus curbed the car in the SPA garage and unlocked the door, as they stepped down, her eyes wandered around the area with a look of admiration in her eyes.“This is lovely.” She gasped, facing him.“I have never been here in my life before.” S
“Sir, I received an order from a certain company named TYS, they asked me to deliver this to you.” The delivery man said, handing him a brown box containing a laptop.“Thank you.” He said.“But, sir, our company tried to navigate where this TYS company is located but directed us to you.” The delivery man gave him a suspicious stare.“Do you work with such a company or have an affair with it?” The delivery man asked politely.“I think you are mistaken. I’m the CEO of Wayles Enterprises, maybe my secretary must have made a mistake or something.” He lied blatantly.He knew it was the system’s code name TYS and couldn’t disclose it to anyone.“Sure. Go ahead and sign the document.” The delivery man said, giving him a file and pen.The following morning, his new driver rode the neon blue SUV car as he sat in the back seat, putting on his earphones. Something had been bothering him and he wanted to know if was possible to go against the system’s order.“Hey TYS, can we talk?” He pretended a
“What? Are you serious?” Kaiden swallowed hard.“I wouldn’t have come here if I didn’t want it.” She paused.“And of course, we will sign a contract and legally register our marriage in court.” She added calmly.“Why should I believe you? We are total strangers and there is no way you can help me?” His eyes rolled from her head to her toe and he sighed.“You are just a weak lady.” He commented.“How about you watch what a weak lady can do?” She stared at him, temptingly curling her lips and he smiled.“If you are serious…” He took her hand. “How about meeting my parents first to conduct a proper, legal marriage.” He asked vividly.“Sure! I don’t have a problem with that.” She said with a wide smile. Kaiden arrived at the family house and met his parents already in conflict with each other.“Father. Mother.” Kaiden cleared his throat, trying to get their attention and also notify them that he was with a guest.“Who is she?” Martha fired at him impatiently.“Why didn’t you inform us bef
“Kaiden! Kaiden!” Mr. Wayles yelled in anger as he stepped out of his bedroom.He met Martha and Kaiden also watching the morning news that had triggered him.“[BREAKING NEWS: The young CEO of Max Tech Group, Maximus Prime had an accident which led him to the hospital. According to the doctors, he is in a critical state and his condition might lead to being crippled for life but the police offers are still investigating the hit-and-run driver…]”“Did that wife of yours have a hand in this?” Mr. Wayles fired at him in anger and he shook his head in disapproval.“It’s not up to a week since we got married, father, what can she possibly do?” Kaiden shook his head.“Besides, she wouldn’t get her hands dirty as pretty as she is.” He blushed at his statement and his mother rolled her eyes sarcastically.“Then, who did this?” Mr. Wayles bit his lips.“What about you? You were pinned on getting rid of him, what if it was done by one of your men?” Martha reminded him.“I didn’t give any of them
“You seem to have a good reputation. Twelve husbands, huh?” He smirked, feeling jealous as he nodded his head.“I can explain.” Nina laughed shortly.The waitress placed their orders on the table and left the suite.The table had steamed spiced steak and broccoli, with a bottle of red sweet wine which cost over ten million dollars.When Kaiden saw it, he tried to hide his amazement as he lowered his face.“I didn’t really marry anyone of them as I did to you. Some of them were fake promises while some only wanted my family wealth.” She rashly explained to him.“Family wealth? Who are you?” Out of curiosity, he asked.Was he trapped with a rich heiress? Or was he being conned into some fake marriage?“Didn’t you do your research after hearing about me? I mean, my name is Nina Winchester, there is always something to see.” She boasted and he laughed, shaking his head.“There are Winchesters everywhere and you aren’t the first. What makes you think I can find your name on the internet?” H
The defilibrator and the vital machines made sounds as Maximus struggled to open his eyes.He had been bedridden for three days and he was slowly getting his consciousness.He sighed in relief when his eyes opened and they rolled around the room until they stopped on a stranger.“Who are you?” His brows furrowed, staring at the stranger with anxiety permeating from his eyes.“Who am I? You called me.” The stranger shrugged, also looking confused.“Called you?” He scoffed slightly.“I was at the brink of death and after then, I can't remember what happened next. I'm afraid you are in the wrong room.” He said, trying to sit upright and the stranger rushd to his corner and supported him to sit on the bed.“Maximus Prime… I'm sorry but I was sent for you. You are now my master and I'm under you.” He said steadily.“This is crazy.” He cussed under his breath.“I don't know you, please leave, else I will alert the nurse. You are disturbing me.” He said, controlling his breathing.He wanted t
Three phones were placed on the table, and around the table were Martha, Mr. Wayles, and Kaiden sitting on the chair. Kaiden sat beside Nina since she was his “wife”.Delicious delicacies had been perfectly placed on the table with wine but they hadn’t been able to devour it since Nina had been on one call or the other.Mr. Wayles and his wife had asked Kaiden to tell his wife about the meeting they must hold with her. She had been procrastinating to meet with them but fortunately, she spared some time to meet them but since they got there, aside from pleasantries, they haven't been able to discuss anything.“Oh? I will ask my secretary to check on it again before doing the third delivery. Thank you very much.” It seemed like she was ending the call.The call ran into a beep and she exhaled heavily, facing her in-laws whose faces had been clouded in annoyance and impatience.“I’m sorry about…” She trailed off as the phone on the table started ringing.She squeezed her face in apology b
Camera light flashed on his face with reporters asking his questions as Myles created paths for him to enter the long jeep.He had just finished his interview with the exclusive firm he had chosen, though it didn’t end up the way he wanted but he had left questions and suspense in the heart of the views and interviewees.“Boss, are you okay?” Myles asked a few minutes after the driver had started the engine.“Not bad.” He grumbled.“Have you fixed the mansion locks as I told you?” He asked.“Yeah, I did.” Myles exhaled heavily.“So, what’s my schedule for the day? I know I already missed a few.” He said, staring at Myles slightly.“You have a meeting at Chester Hotel and Suite with one of the top clients that wants to invest in the group.” Myles meticulously informed him.“Oh? I almost forgot about him.” He muttered, roughly scratching his hair.“You have at least an hour to prepare,” Myles added.“I’m fine. I can cool off while waiting for him at the hotel.” He suggested calmly.“That
She kept struggling with the man. She had to hit him in the face before he left her alone, she ran to her car and got inside. She had to rush back to the house. She got home and met an empty house, not like she was expecting any magic to happen that would bring back Kaiden or something. She decided to stay at home and take the alcohol that was there. Max was in his office, his mind kept on going to the task that the system gave to him. “ There is no way that I am doing that, it is not going to be possible, I already asked Victoria to leave, I can not bring her back, I can not do that," He said to himself. He knew that he would get punished for this but he seemed not to care about it this time. He got an email on his laptop, he decided to check what it was, it was from Nina, she was pleading that she come back to work“ That is not happening" He closed his laptop. His father was in prison, he had just Kaiden at the company, working. He also had George and the others, like Robert
Sara got to the house and told Max what Kaiden had told her. Max raised his eyebrows, he was wondering how she handled the situation. “ What did you say to him?" He asked.“ I told him that it was not going to be possible, I have moved on from that and we shall remain workers only," she said.Max nodded his head and hoped that she was telling the truth because he would be so upset with her if he found out that she had gone back to Kaiden. He got into the sitting room, he looked around. “ She must be in her room," Sara said, smiling at him. “ Don't do that to me, how the hell did you know that I was looking for Silvia?” he asked."I do know, you do not bother yourself with anyone or anything in this house, so I know who you are looking for when you do that,” she said. Max went to his room, took his bath, got out of the bathroom, and carefully creamed his body, he took his time to do that. He had to pay attention to everything he was doing because of Silvia, he wanted to impress he
Nina kept thinking about who the second person was. She sat in her room, the only person that she ever told about what she wanted was just Kaiden and Richard. She stood up and went to Kaiden's room. She knocked on the door, he opened the door and saw her standing in front of them. “ Can you not sleep?" He asked her. “ No, not that, something is going on and I do not know who is behind this. I took Richard's advice and asked Myles to help me, but he went ahead and told Max about it and now he is trying to get me sacked” She looked sad. Kaiden opened the door wider so that she could get inside the room. " Why would Myles do that to you?” he asked. " Myles has so much loyalty for Max and that was what I had missed, but one thing that bothered me was he said two people already told him about me taking over the company. He said one of them is Myles and then the second person is who I am trying to know” she said. Kaiden was quiet for a while. “ Maybe it is Richard who told him abou
She walked into the office, she wanted to go meet Myles at that moment, but she saw that Myles was busy with what he was doing so she let him be. She got to her office and decided to be on her laptop till Myles was free to give her response, she could not wait to hear what he had to say and how they were going to go about it.Her secretary came to her office. “ Ma'am, Maximus Prime needs your attention in his office," He said. She waved her hands to dismiss him. He left. She stood up and arranged her dress. She checked and everything was perfect, then she went to Max's office. She got there and saw Myles also. All that was on her mind at that time was that Myles had done something and that was why she was called into the office, maybe Max had noticed something was wrong. “ You sent for me, Sir," She said as she smiled at Myles. Myles pretended like she was not there. “ I heard something, and I wish to confirm that from you, this will be the second time I will be hearing it and t
The door opened and she got into her office, she wanted to go meet with Myles but something else was going on in Max's office, and that made her not go, she needed to go meet Myles when he was alone so that it would not cause any disruption at all. She decided to wait for when he would be free so that she could talk to him about it. Myles was in the office, and they had an issue at hand, something was wrong with the server and they needed to fix it as quickly as possible, so that was what Myles was in Max's office trying to fix. The new product that Victoria brought was doing well in the market and they needed to keep their website active because of the many visitors that they were receiving. The door opened and Victoria walked in. Max did not want to see her at all, he was not in that mood, he even wanted to end her contract with them, she seemed like someone who was a dangerous person to him. “ I do not remember calling you here, hope you do know that," he said. “ I know that
Martha could not believe that her husband was on the news for the wrong reasons, he was arrested and it was shown in the news for everyone to see. She was so bitter that her husband was given a public humiliation, she quickly picked up her phone and called Kaiden.“Hey, have you seen the news? Your father is in the news, it is aired on the television, guess what is being aired? His arrest, your father has been reduced to nothing” She said. " Mom, calm down, let me check that out and call you back,” He said. " Call me back? I am coming there to meet you, we have to go do something about this” She ended the call even before Kaiden could ask her not to bother coming over to his house. She got dressed and headed for her car that was outside, she had already gotten into the car when she saw the guy that friended her, the one that brought her food to eat. She had to act normal. He walked close to her car. “ I have seen what is in the News already, what happened to him, what kind of thin
He could not tell Sara about it, he had to let it be like that. He went to his room and sat down, he got an email from Victoria. He read it and shook his head, this was getting interesting, he felt the two of them were trying to get at each other and they were using him to achieve that. “ You have to go to your room, you will take a good rest, do not leave your room tomorrow, take the day off,” He said to Sara. “ Okay, thank you, but I am comfortable here,” She said.Max let her stay there since she said she was comfortable there. He went back to his room and read the message again, he remembered what Nina had told him about Victoria. He sighed. “ These two ladies are trying to play some games with me,” He said. The next day, he got dressed and went to the office. “ Did Sara get my message?” Nina asked. “ Yes, successfully delivered” Max lies, he did not say a word about it to Sara. “ Good, at least she will know that I am the one in charge here and not her,” She said.Max wa
He went to his office, the minister had called the press himself, Max was not expecting that so it came as a surprise to him. The press was there, he also invited other Ministers as well. He got there, he was not expecting any of it, the cameras flashing their lights on her face, he knew that he would be in the news in no time. He was presented with an award first, and then the Ministers that were there began to send in funds for him. A huge amount was raised and it was paid into the MT Company account. “Thank you so much for this great honor, I am so glad to stand before all of you that are here, I never expected this and that is why I am so overwhelmed to experience this, thank you very much for your great support towards MT Company, I remain grateful, thank you,” he said to the Ministers that were present there, pictures were taken. “ Yes, this is the time I need to get that company, I can not believe that such a huge amount of money is in MT company, how can it be? This is a
The doctors had discharged her already, he was the one who carried her out of the hospital to the car, and they got inside the car. “ I'll go home from here,” Victoria said to him, he saw the way her face was but he brushed it aside. “All right, thank you,” He said. They went home, he carried Sara out of the car to the house, and he kept her on the chair. She opened her eyes. “ How do you feel?” He asked her. “ Better” She looked around the house like she was searching for someone. “ Are you Okay?” He saw the way that she kept acting. “ There was a man that came close to me,” She said. “What man was that?” Max sat upright. “ He came to me and asked me my name, he was talking but I was not hearing what he was saying, I was feeling dizzy. I then felt his hands on my nose then I passed out, you did not see the guy?” She asked. “ No, what happened was that people gathered and one of the guards came to carry you from there, we drove to the hospital, and I did not see any guy aro
