The next morning he just woke up and did not find his wife in bed. And this time she didn’t even work him up or prepare for him clothes to wear. He got up took a shower and walked downstairs after he finished. “Janet, where is Eliza?” He asked the woman who was sweeping the house. She was about Eliza’s age just a bit older, with long hair that she tied in a ban. All he knew about her was that she used to work for Eliza at some point. “She just walked outside a few minutes ago. She said she will be back soon,” she said looking at him. “Do you need anything? She prepared food for you and she..” she tapped her chin as she looked at him, “dammit I forgot. She asked me to iron cloths for you. I’m sorry sir,” she said gesturing her hands for him to forgive her. He just smiled, she did care, “it’s fine Janet. I will not tell her. And did she say where she was going?” He said walking to the dining table. “She didn’t sir.”“Alright, you can get back to work. I will be going to work and t
His heart was beating as first as it could the closer he got home. He wanted to believe nothing really happened and that she just wanted him home. Maybe she had something planned for him.But the more he told himself that, the more he realized it was not true. Just last night they were not on good terms and this morning she just left without telling him where she was even going.After things got better between them, they never left home without enforcing each other where the other was going. But this morning she just left without telling him anything. That was freaking the hell out of him.He kept calling her, but she didn’t even pick up. Sent messages, but nothing.He drove as fast as he could, but then that day there was a lot of traffic and he nearly got into a fight with someone because he kept shouting for them to drive faster even though he could see that it was not the person’s fault.After an hour and some minutes, he finally reached home, parked his car and riches inside.“El
The next morning he woke up feeling like the world was a better place once again. Everything between him and his wife was perfect. Jackson and his father were locked up, and so was Angela.They still haven’t heard from her concerning her pregnancy so, he just assumed she was lying and he couldn’t have been happier.Eliza was carrying his child, and that was the only mother of his child he wanted. He didn’t want anyone else carrying his child and much less Angela. Not after what she did. He just wanted to be happy, and that was that. And he was getting all the happiness the world could offer.His company was back on business and after the talk he just had with Mubanga when he woke up and couldn’t have been better. He just received a call that all the companies and people that wanted to invest in his company were now calling back because he proved to them that it was all a setup. They were all coming back to buy wine at his company.Also today he decided not to go to work because he jus
After they finished up in the garden, Eliza decided she needed to take a second shower. He wanted to retort and tell her off that she just took a shower before they had their breakfast date, but knowing it wasn’t going to do him good, and if he wanted this day to go perfect for him, he decided to shut his mouth instead.After a while of seating in the living room for a few minutes, she finally came downstairs. Wearing a short blue petite dress and sandals. This time she didn’t even accessorize with anything. She just went all plain. Not makeup and now jewelry.He just stood up as his eyes stopped blinking for a few seconds. His eyes couldn’t stop looking at her, and despite being with her and seeing her every day, his heart never stopped beating for her. With each passing day, he felt like he was discovering her beauty all over again.“What?” she asked as she stopped a few feet from him. “Will you stop looking at me like that?” She said and giggled still.“Wow,” he just said, took her
The day he wanted finally happened. There were issues here and there and at some point he thought he was avoiding his problems, but the good thing about having a loving wife that reminded you that you don’t have to do everything alone she was there to remind him of that.And this day could never have been more perfect for the both of them. From the spa to the cinema and then lastly to the theater. Which happened to be Eliza’s favorite, apparently. The woman fancied the theater, and she wanted to sing. And as a good husband, he promised to take her there once in a while. All in all, it was a blissful day and he could have asked for it to go any other way. And after they left the theater, Eliza decided that they should head to the arcade for the games. And of course she made him sing karaoke, which he hated the most about the day. Even though she kept telling him he sounded amazing and even when people clapped for him, he begged to differ.“Aren’t you tired?” He asked as they took their
“Trevor, who was on the phone?” She asked as she walked up to him from the bathroom. “And I told you to make the bed. Trevor, we talked about this?”He just stood there with the phone in his hands. He looked at her and then at the cell phone again.“Trevor, what happened? Who was on the phone?” She asked and got the phone from him. “Trevor, will you tell me what happened? What did the judge want from you? I thought we dealt with everything.”He opened his mouth but closed it back again, tried to think about anything and how to better say what he had to say, but nothing came to him.“Trevor, I’m getting upset here. What the hell did she say to you? Is everything okay with Angela and Jackson?” She asked and walked him to take a seat on the bed.“I don’t know how to say this, Eliza. And I really wanted this night to end on a good note,” he said and looked up at her. And as he looked into her eyes, he couldn’t help but wonder why such a thing had to happen to him. Of all nights.“Try me,”
After driving for what nearly felt like forever, they finally reached the company. And as sure, there was a scene that actually attracted news reporters and all kinds of people he didn’t want to attract.He hurriedly got up and walked as first as he could with his wife to enter the office. And they hardly made it alive to just enter the company while people kept screaming at them all kinds of questions.This was something he didn’t need right now. He just escaped from the Angela and Jackson scandal and now this. His board members will surely be upset after hearing and finding out about this. Which he was sure as ever they did find out.People in the company just kept looking at him and his wife as they walked to his office, none of them asked any questions, but he knew they had a lot to ask.He just waved and pretended like everything was okay and told a good number of them to get back to their work.“Eliza, tell me why I should kill your brother?” He said as they entered the elevator
After a long day of meetings and calls from his investors about the scandals that Eliza’s brother nearly started, he finally finished up everything and headed home.All he wanted was to reach home and sleep and relax. And at this moment, he hopes to have another free day of just relaxing like the one he had the previous day.After driving for almost an hour, he finally reached home, parked his car in the garage and walked straight inside the house.He walked in the kitchen to check on his wife, but the woman was not there. He just walked upstairs, but she was not also in the bedroom.He tried looking from the rest of the rooms, but she was not also there. Tried calling her, but she was not answering.“I’m sure I saw her car in the garage. Where the hell is she?” He thought and then walked downstairs to check every room there and she was still not there.“Sir, have you seen my wife anywhere?” He asked the man at the gate.“No sir. The last time I saw her, she just came in from work and
The whole thing seemed way too good to be true. Not that the news all together was okay, but the fact of him finding out the person that kidnapped his wife. Bad that too, the person he has been telling them was not good.He turned to look at his wife, and she was lost in thoughts. He just rested his hands on her things and smiled at her as he drove them back home again.“Trevor, what if mother is right about Alexander? He is still my brother, and I was the one who brought him to you guys,” she said.He just kept his smile on for good measure, “Elizabeth, you don’t have to worry about that. You have just been through some major trauma and I don’t want you to start worrying about your half brother. Yes, he is your brother, but that will not change the fact that he tried to kill you,” he pauses as he takes a breath. “Listen, if it turns out it’s him, I will take care of it. You just worry about being calm for that baby. We do want that baby to be safe innit?” He said,She sighed, “alrigh
“What are you doing here, Eliza? And with him,” her mother said glaring at Trevor. “You know how we feel about him. And mother is not feeling too well, him being here will only worsen her condition. I would leave if I were you,” she added and took her seat. Eliza just sighed as she looked at Trevor then walked over to sit next to her mother, “I’m fine thank you and how are you, mother,” she said, smiling at her for good measure. She never wanted what happened to them to happen. But things just happened and there was nothing she could have done about it. She tried helping them but they made things worse for themselves. Even Trevor didn’t want to chase them out of his house, but he had no choice after what they did to him. They were not his favorite people in the world, but for the fact that they were his wife’s family and that Mr. Noah wouldn’t have liked for his family to be elsewhere, he wanted to help them. But fate happened. “Mother I will be having your grandchild for the lov
She wanted him to remain outside because she knew what her mother and grandmother felt about him. But again, she might need him inside. He might be the person she needed to keep her company and make things make sense. She hoped. They walked into the elevator in silence and it went up. He wanted to open up, he wanted to tell her why exactly he wanted to come and talk to her mother and grandmother so badly. But again, he didn’t want to ruin this. And besides, he wasn’t even sure of what he was thinking might have happened and might be going on. But he just wanted to conform and get them out of the picture. Make sure they were not involved in any of this. Or else everything will be ruined for him and her. They got out of the elevator and walked to the room in total silence. “Again, are you sure about what you are doing? You don’t have to do this, Trevor. Don’t be stupid. You can wait for me outside or anywhere I can find you. I know them and it’s better if I talk to them alone,” she
“Finally, you are leaving this place brother-in-law,” Mateo said as he helped Trevor out of bed. “You know, I knew you were going to be fine. I knew she was stressed for no reason. I know how stubborn you can be. You made our lives hell with grandfather. And that's all because of your stubbornness, brother,” he said, smiling at his sister. “See, your husband is fine.” They just smiled at him as well. He was happy to see that Mateo was here to help. Something about him being here just made things that were going through his head easier for him. And that he had someone in Eliza’s family might be good.But also because he wanted to prove to himself that none of them were involved in his wife’s kidnapping. That was all he wanted and he was happy to find out none of his family members were involved. But again, thinking about everything and what kind of people his in-laws are, they can do anything for money and pretend as if nothing bad happened. But kidnapping the daughter of the family
“What are you planning to do Moses? It has been weeks and you haven’t said anything about what happened. We can’t just let them get away with this because you can’t think straight. What should we do?” She asked as she walked to sit next to him. “I love you and I don’t want to force you to do things. But I’m just willing to do more for my kids. They can’t come into this world without us doing something about their lives. We can’t even take care of ourselves, how will we take care of our kids? You wanted one, didn't you?” She asked, playing with his hands. He just smiled at her and looked down again. He didn’t know what to do or say. He thought about what would happen but nothing came to him. He knew he had to do something about this. He knew if he didn’t act smart and listen to his wife it won’t be things at his place. He loved her and wanted to do what she told him. But what could he do about what happened? He didn’t want to do something that would upset his mother. His mother neve
“Mr. Mwansa, we need to find those people. We can’t just leave them after they kidnapped one of the richest people in the city. Try to remember anything about them sir, please,” a police officer asked with his note book in his hands. Trevor thought about everything for a while, but nothing. All he could remember was that the man was tall and well built. Anything other than that he didn’t know. And that the man seemed to have been forced to do what he was doing. He didn’t remember anything else about the people that kidnapped his wife. “I have already told you what I know about those people. I didn’t see them clearly. I went there during the night and that too in the forest. The only source of light there was the moon. I’m sorry, but there is nothing I remember,” he said, holding Eliza’s hand even more tightly. “And you miss,” he said, turning to look at Eliza. “Did you ever see the people that kidnapped you? Your husband speaks of a woman? But when we talked earlier you didn’t men
After a while Micheal finally left and went home because he also wanted to get a shower and he had some things he needed to do for the company. And Trevor just told him that he needed him to be careful because none of them knew what those people would do next. “I was really scared when that man shot you, Trevor. I thought we have lost you,” she said, holding his hands. “I love you. And never do that ever again. Do I make myself clear?” She scolded and rested on his chest. He sighed and kissed her hair, “very clear.” Then he added as an afterthought, “where is Mubanga? She came to visit didn’t she? And does she know that I’m awake?” He asked. Eliza got up from his chest, “yes she knows. Trevor it was on the news and newspapers. Everyone in this city knows you, so she did find out about it. And I talked to her, she has been meaning to come and see you. Even when I was coming here she called me to say that she would come. It’s just that she has been the one running the company. Holdi
“I don’t even know, Micheal. All I know is that they kidnapped my wife and wanted my company and money. Who they are and what motives they might have apart from wanting money from me and my company I have no idea,” Trevor explained finally sitting up straight on the bed. Micheal thought about it for a while then spoke, “we need to figure it out before they show up. They haven’t come yet and I’m sure they are planning something big. They have the papers and the money, they might be waiting for something big. I just don’t know what it is,” he said looking at Trevor. Trevor sighed and then smiled. “What?” Micheal asked. “I didn’t do it,” he said, looking away for a second before turning to look at him again. “What do you mean you didn’t do it? What didn’t you do?” He asked, looking at Trevor questionably. “I didn’t give them anything. I didn’t give up the money nor the company. Those papers were fake. And most of the money was fake as well,” he said but again added before Micheal c
He sat in the living room alone, trying to think of a better way to deal with what was happening in his life. Just when he thought he had done it and finally was leaving this life it turned out he was played. Knowing Trevor and what he had heard about him, he should have expected that but he thought because of Eliza Trevor was desperate and would do about anything without thinking, but he was proved wrong. The place was dim, the only source of light being a candle that sat on the table. The place didn’t look that bad though, but it didn’t look that good either. The man and his wife ran a bar and it seemed not to have been making a lot of money for them. All his life he wanted to get what his family had. He lived with his mother all his life and she never wanted him to do what he was doing. She tried by all means to keep him far away from Eliza’s family and their drama. But after the poor woman died, his mission had been to get back at the family and get what rightfully belonged to
