Stephen took in a deep breath and swallowed his saliva. He knew Danvers' words were not to be taken for granted. If his memory wasn't playing on him, he remembered his grandpa narrated the scene that made them cross paths. He had a flat tire, and in the course of trying to fix it, a group of young boys tried to steal from him, but with Danvers' timely interference, they had to run for their lives.“What the heck is going on in my house?”Looking at Danver, “what are you doing?” Margaret, who excused herself a few minutes ago, dashed into the living room after hearing voices from her bathroom. Looking at her, Marcus said;“Your useless son-in-law is quite talented, Margaret. To the extent where he is brave enough to talk back when I talk.” Marcus had always had an inherent sense of superiority from birth, just that his brother never gave him the opportunity. He always stood his ground as an older brother. On the other hand, Stephen began his usual arrogant nature. After all, his fa
The family was about to have dinner when Rhina’s phone rang. Her mum had internationally turned it on after what Danvers said that her grandmother would also give her a call. Looking at the caller, Rhina said;“It's grandmother,""What does she want this time around? Margaret asked. Or is it for the same purpose as to why Stephen and Marcus visited?”Lady Dabby was in charge of all the affairs of the family and it was crystal clear even without words that she never calls the juniors in the family, talk less of Rhina and her family who were the last of their kind. “Let's hear what she has to say” Rhina answered the phone and put it on speaker. " Rhina? Lady Dabby's voice sounded at the other end of the phone. Though it looked awkward to her calling her junior in the family, she had no other choice. The champions had made it clear to them that they will only continue any partnership with Golds Corporation if Rhina is involved, or else they should kiss it well, but Lady Dabby could no
Back at Rhina's house. Margaret had always waited for a better opportunity for Danvers to leave her home. So when her daughter started talking in his favor, all of a sudden, she made her increasingly angry she hated to see that she had started growing feelings for him. In a persuasive tone“Just find a way to end whatever you are having for him. I am warning you. I never experienced it, and I don't want any of my children to experience it. I am your mother, and I can tell you without looking back that if you follow such a man, you will not have a good life” That's the advice I owe you as your mother. On the other hand, it was quite evident that over the past four years, she had developed feelings for Danvers that were unexplainable. Adding to the fact that he was the one that helped her secure the contract at champions and even if he didn't, Rhina never had any plans of divorcing him for reasons known to her. Her mother's reaction was because Danvers was not promising at all but wi
Rhina had always had the habit of going for a morning run each day to keep fit and stay healthy. She always wakes up at six o’clock with the exception of days when she has urgent meetings at the office. After changing into her sportswear, Rhina walked up to Danvers floor mat and asked with a smile on, “Are you still pretending to be asleep?”He sat up, rubbing his eyes with the back of his hand. “Aren't you going after me today? Rhina asked, standing ready to leave.Danvers was taken aback to hear that Rhina is actually aware that he always followed her for her morning run every day. That has always been his hidden secret to follow Rhina, too, and from work every day just to make sure she was safe. But before that, he managed to do all his chores before she was up and ready to go. “Sure I will” he replied and stood up, and before she knew it, he was all dressed and ready to go. They both went out together. For the past four years, Rhina has had a steady route that she uses to do
On Monday morning, Emily went to Champions Corporation. Emily stepped out from her car, and it is undoubtedly that she looked stunning both in shape and class. A few media personnel standing at the gate succeeded in getting a few pictures of her before she could go inside. They all thought she was a new celebrity who was there to finalize her contract with the champions beauty parlor. The security, on the other hand, thought she was Rhina, the same lady who came there the previous week to discuss a partnership with their company. He was so cautious not to get on her bad side. She went all the way in, and the receptionist directed to the president’s office mistaken her for Rhina. As she was stepping off from the elevator, she coincidentally bombed into Frank Danvers' project manager. He had just received a call from Danvers to inform him about her arrival so he would not fall prayer. Frank immediately ejected the latter out of the building after letting her know she was impersonatin
After about two hours, almost all the son-in-laws and sons of the Dabby clan had already presented their gift to lady Dabby. The gifts were not expensive but they were not cheap goods either. As the least of them all cost five hundred dollars. This has always been a custom in the Dabby family, and it has been observed and respected for generations. It was also noteworthy that Ryan's gift was beautiful. It was a pair of bracelets made of silver whose quality could be described as flawless. After seeing the gift, Lady Dabby praised Ryan for his wonderful gift and later spoke up. “I must comment, Ryan has been a kind and lovable son-in-law in this family even after Emily divorced him. He still has it in mind to honor our family celebration without missing out on any. To all our invitees he is still in the hunt market if you are interested in him, and he is yet to take note of you, do not hesitate to reach out and I will be at your service. Point to note he is back on his feet.'' Emily
“Come here child”the old lady said as she made her way down the stairs those seated close to her gave way for her. She was becoming increasingly anxious and couldn't contain her level of joy. She arranged her glasses and read out without blinking an eye. “Such beauty and great masterpiece. It was so brilliant and smooth.”I am quite certain this cheque is not fake. She had someone to examine it to give approval to it. Everyone talked about the gift Ethan just brought and what he got for Rhina, and Lady Dabby was thrilled by it. Let's settle down. That's enough lady Dabby said to calm the roaring hall. “Carefully put that into my handbag and make sure you handle it with care," she said, turning to address the crowd. Rhina bit her lips at some point being touched by what Ethan just said in the presence of everyone. He was simply out here to humiliate Danvers. He had sold his assets to buy her a gift, and now he handed such a huge amount of money to lady Dabby just to declare his
Miss Young for the second time tried to educate Lady Dabby on the kind of gift that Danvers gave her but this time, her words fell on deaf ears as she quickly walked over to where Rhina was seated. Everyone was shocked and stopped eating when they saw her walking towards Rhina. It draws the attention of everyone. Chit chats and discussions here and there. The we-chat group that has been dormant for years suddenly revived. It contained the Dabby younger generation, and everyone texted their disbelief to see Lady Dabby walking towards Rhina. They were all eager to hear what she wanted to say to her. “Rhina dear, granny wants to ask for a favor from you." " Go ahead, granny, I am listening” Rhina said. Lady Dabby shook her head gently, breathed in, and said in a steady voice. " Rhina, you know today is our annual meeting where wishes are always made and accepted? Rhina nodded“ I want you to go again to Champion's company and discuss the partnership with the real estate company.
