Chapter 04

Olivia and her parents were living in an ordinary house. They were not staying in the Marcus family Villa.

Since Olivia married Charles and after Lord Marcus died, they had since been kick out of the family Villa by lady Marcus.

Rose Andrea's voice full of rage was everywhere shouting, “Olivia are you now satisfied with the way everyone treated us with disdain in the family Villa before the entire citizens of Wales district all because you're married to that loser husband of yours and yet you vehemently refused to divorce him!”

Tell me, “what's interesting about that loser Charles Walker? If you divorce him now, your grandma might kick you out of Thompson petrochemical group.

So, you must divorce him right now!”

Olivia shook her head decidedly and said “No Mom, I have told you people that I will never divorce Charles. He is my husband and I don't want you or anybody else to persuade me or talk about this again.”

“If Grandma wants to kick me from Thompson petrochemical group, fine then, I will gladly look for another job to do” she added calmly but with all manner of confidence.

Your Mom is right Olivia, just divorce him and marry Don Albert and your grandma will pamper you everyday of your life. Our family will also become the most precious treasure in the family Villa. Her father, Andrea Marcus added.

“Stop it! Just stop it Dad, because I will never divorce him. Is that too hard for you both to understand!” She shouted on top of her voice.

“You!”

Both parents had always wanted to persuade her into divorcing Charles but she had remained indifferent and nonchalant to their persuasion. They keep persuading her and shouting at her when suddenly, Charles pushed the door open and entered the house.

His in-laws gave him a dirty look when they noticed he was the one that came in.

His mother-in-law snorted with disdain, “I thought you would forget to come back home, fool like you!”

Charles was utterly sorry for all the troubles he had earlier caused Olivia.

The rejection and humiliation she had to face from her parents because of him. He knew that his in-laws especially Olivia's mom is money freak and that's the reason she has been taking sides with lady Marcus and other people to humiliate him but how she would she reacts if she learns that he was now a billionaire and the owner of Shell PLC, London which Don Albert was just  a mere manager with.

Recollecting those silly words that were hurled at him and Olivia made him keep quiet in order not increase his mother in-laws’ rage. So, he simply sighed inside his heart quietly and said “I'm so sorry mom for all the troubles I had caused for the family earlier today.”

His mother-in-law growled angrily and said, “sorry for yourself fools. Who is your mom? Have you gone nut? Don't ever call me Mom again unless you're going to divorce my daughter. You better pack your loser trash self and leave my daughter alone because I'm tired of seeing you around here.”

Olivia interjected quickly, “how could you say such things, mom? Charles is your son-in-law for real and it would do you better to acknowledge him as such!”

“Bulls*t!” Her mother growled. “I don't want to have such a loser son-in-law! It’s better if he can go as far as he can.”

At this moment, Charles wanted to reveal that he had just become a billionaire, Shell PLC's owner and Young Master of Walker's Dynasty in London. But he held himself back from revealing his identity after considering the dangers that might follow this revelation. He doesn't know who was behind his earlier banishment plots from the palace. What exactly they wanted and why they plotted against him and the queen.

Only remaining in the dark for now will help him find the ‘why and who’ behind those hidden evil plots against his life and beside he hasn't even gone to complete the Shell PLC's ownership transfer deal.

He was still hanging his head low when Olivia nudged him and said, “hurry, let’s go back to the room.”

He nodded gratefully and quickly fled back to the room.

They had been married for five years now but have never consummated their union as husband and wife not even once. Olivia slept on the bed while he slept on the floor at the side.

It was very difficult for Charles to sleep tonight.

He was greatly touched by his experience and happenstance around him  today.

“Was I dreaming?” He muttered under his breath calmly. What suddenly changed that made his father King Emperor Walker De Great reverse his banishment decree was still confusing him.

“There are more to these things which are still hidden and I need to find out why” he concluded in his mind.

This was why he accepted the compensation offer. He wanted to know why and who plotted his banishment and avenge his mom's death. And he will achieve this before he ascends his throne as the heir Prince of London.

Since, I will not be going back to the palace now, it will be nice to buy Megan groups in Wales city. He thought to himself.

He went inside the restroom and quickly retrieved his phone from his pocket and dialed Tyler's number. First ring, Tyler's voice came up trembling. He was thinking that the prince had changed his mind again.

“Hey!, Tyler, you know I won't be coming back to the palace now. So I want you to go buy Megan groups tomorrow before you go back. I don't want people to know I'm the one buying it.”

Tyler heaved a sigh of relief and said, “I will do it as the first thing tomorrow according to your order my Prince.”

Megan groups is the largest and most talked about investment holding company in Wales district. Their businesses span from real estate development, interior designs, petrochemicals and fashions with networth of three hundred billion dollars.

It was very simple and easy for him to acquire it now that he's a billionaire.

Charles came back to the room after informing Tyler about his decision to acquire Megan groups.

Before going to bed, Olivia said to him, “how is Mr Rambo doing now? I have two hundred thousand dollars. You can use it tomorrow.”

“He is fine now! Someone paid the bills on his behalf and he had undergone the surgery already.”

“Really?” Olivia exclaimed in awe. “That means, Mr Rambo has been operated on for his leukemia and can live again.”

“Yes, dear! You know brother Rambo was good to almost every living then and it is normal that some of those individuals had just repaid him with the same kindness” Charles replied.

“I'm super excited”, Olivia responded “at least you can have peace now.”

“Yes! and thank you for defending me and bearing the brunt of disgrace I caused at Villa” Charles said gratefully.

“You're welcome,” she responded. “I want to sleep now because there is lots of work to do at Thompson petrochemical group tomorrow.”

“Is it a task I can help you do there?”

“No!”

“It is the partnership contract deal with British Petroleum, London, that Mr Stafford Theo announced during the wedding ceremony.”

“Grandma has insisted I will be going with her to London tomorrow to complete the contract deal documentation and signing.”

“Really? That's a great news dear”

“I don't think so, she might have ulterior motives with that assignment and I'm obviously tired of her problems.”

“Don't worry, everything will be fine”, Charles assured her.
