Andrea recollected himself and said, “Charles, you scared us and why did you bring the cab into the compound by this hour of the day?” “I didn't bring any cab into the compound, Dad,” Charles replied. “And who was honking the horn of a car a few minutes ago before you walked into the house?” “I did …” Charles was about to talk when his mother - in - law, Rose Andrea came out from the back of the cushion where she had hid herself out of fear. She hurriedly rushed and pounced her fist on Charles angrily while scolding him, “Fool! How dare you cause a scene that created fear in me? And what took you out so long? Why are you just returning home by this time of the day? Oh, you have grown wings that you now go to remain outside without making dinner for the house?!” Charles grimaced in the pains of Rose’s fist as he didn't notice her pounced on time when she pounced on him. However, he didn't utter a word other than walking past her and went straight into the kitchen to prepare di
Olivia also blushed with shys that etched her on the face and pulled herself away after she realized that her parents were watching them.Soon, Charles was done with the dinner he was making for the family and served his parents-in-law their own after setting up the dinner.He equally served another two plates for himself and Olivia. However, Olivia rejected a different plate of meal for herself, insisting that they must eat together for the very first time since they got married together.She wanted to intimate herself with Charles and make her mother and others stop taunting Charles or accusing them of not sleeping together.After their dinner, they all went into their separate rooms.“Thank you so much for everything you have done for me today, dear.”Charles reminded Olivia as he went to lay his mattress by the side of their living room.“You're welcome darling but what did I do that you're thanking me for?” Olivia asked before she entered their lavatory to take her bath in prepar
The voice was Rose’ own.Olivia grudgingly answered, “Mom, I'm here and why are you disturbing me at this hour of the night?”“Oh, you have grown wings to question me for calling you?” Rose' voice retorted from outside Olivia's bedroom. “Would you hurry up and come to the parlor right now?!”“I'm very busy now and will not come, Mom. See you tomorrow morning…”“No, Dear. You should go answer her.” Charles interrupted her cajolingly.“Mhm, Okay.”Olivia accepted and walked out of the bed full of anger.“I will be with you shortly, mom.” She added and then pushed her door open while she walked to the parlor dejectedly.When she got to the parlor, she saw her mom seated on the cushion with an inexpressive face.“Mom, what's it? Why did you choose to disturb my peace?”Rose fumed, “So, I now disturbs your peace because I needed to talk to you right?! Is this what you have learned lately?!”“Ihave had a stressful day at work and now that I wanted to rest my head you came knocking. What's t
Soon it was already 5.00 o'clock in the morning.Olivia was already dressed for work. She had unfinished business at her office yesterday and needed to go in time today so that she could be able to clear her desk.She went inside the lavatory to get prepared and was done brushing her mouth and having her bath with the warm water prepared for her by Charles. She spent close to thirty minutes altogether in the lavatory.Charles was equally awake too. He woke up a few minutes before Olivia did.As usual, he wanted to make breakfast and also prepare some snacks for Olivia's lunch at work and so he had to wake up on time to enable him get everything done before time goes against him.By 4:30 am in the morning, he was already awake making breakfast for the house and Lunch snacks for Olivia.After Olivia woke up, Charles got her some warm water which he had prepared before time and with which Olivia took into the lavatory to have her bath.Shortly after Olivia was done, Charles served her he
“Jack, don't mind that fool,” said Benjamin with his middle finger pointed at his elder brother, Andrea. “Allow him to keep wallowing in his delusion.” Then, he glared his eyes disdainfully at Charles like a hawk gawking at her prey victim and said, “would you get out of my sight before I order the securities to send you out of the company. Do you think that I have forgotten how you wickedly manipulated all my capable son - in - laws to divorce my two daughters? For your own information, I have not forgotten and will never forget. Soon, I will come for you.”“Charles, so you're still a scumbag and have not changed,” Jack snapped hysterically, bursting into a full blown sarcastic laughter. After some few minutes of his sarcastic laughter, he said condescendingly to Charles, “I never knew that you're now a grown go - in - between for my slothful and useless cousin sister, Olivia.” Then he walked close to Charles and said disdainfully, “Stop parading yourself with this car which was boug
After hearing Charles out, Miss Edwin asked with a smile on her face, “Have you seen the Audi RS5 model before?”“No,” Charles retorted. “What does it look like?”Charles had never fancied cars in his life and so he was not familiar with the different types of car in the market. He relied on the knowledge and services of Glory to get a good car for his mother - in - law.“Then, let me show you the Audi RS5 model. Trust me, the car will best fit your mother-in-law.”Glory said and gestured for Charles to follow her lead to where the Audi RS5 car was being displayed, “This way, Mr Walker.”“Alright!”The car was strategically kept in a clean and well - lit space inside the showroom. The car was spotless in its look inside a well - lit area that showcased its design and details. There were illuminating accessories that helped in highlighting the car's paint and design elements.“Sir, this is the Audi RS5.” Glory chimed with smiles and then, she explained further after she turned the illu
At the same time in Thompson Petrochemical Group.There was a growing tension and commotion in Thompson Petrochemical Group located in the downtown area of Southern Wales district.After Olivia left the presence of her uncle's awkward response and resentment, she entered her office located at the last floor of the penthouse administrative buildings of Thompson Petrochemical Group with a determined self of not letting their cold and unwelcoming words and actions towards her affect her decision at work.She had one goal at heart which is to make Thompson Petrochemical Group the number one Petrochemical and agro - allied service company in Wales district and by extension throughout the countries of the United Kingdoms by solidifying their collaboration with Megan Group.However, she was greeted the moment she opened her office door by her secretary and cousin sister Miss Margaret Marcus who spoke with a cold and condescending voice to her, “Hey, here comes miss executive chairman who ste
Margaret has been bittered about Olivia and her useless husband, Charles all her life. She was bittered because Olivia was loved by their grandpa and was treated with exceptional care and attention despite that she was older than her.While their grandpa, Lord Marcus was still alive and headed the Marcus family and family business, he made Olivia the procurement manager of their family business and placed her on a salary scale higher than everyone else's own.Back then, Olivia was still in high school while Margaret, who was her elder cousin sister, was in college, yet their grandpa, Lord Marcus, hired Olivia over Margaret to be the procurement manager of Thompson Petrochemical Group.Even Benjamin Marcus, Margaret’s Father, was working under Olivia as her subordinates.Lord Marcus despised every other person in the family but chose Olivia as his favorite granddaughter and Andrea, Olivia's father who was equally his first son as his apparent heir.When Olivia finished high school and
