“Wait, back up a little. You said Mr. Noah helped you to marry her?” Micheal asked.Trevor smiled and took a sip from his coffee. “Yes..” he began. He then went on and told Micheal all about what happened. How he was treated by the family after Mr. Noah died.All the humiliation he went through by his wife’s friends and all her workmates. How Jackson never missed a chance to make sure he felt like he was a good-for-nothing person.How his brothers-in-law treated him and how they beat him up when he went to the company. All he went through he explained to Micheal.The man was just in awe the all time. At some point, his eyes even got watery.Trevor smiled again, “man, it is really nothing. And I need you to be strong for me. I didn’t hire you to break down in court.”“I’m not crying,” he argued.“Whatever. Should I continue or the little miss would want to take a quick break,” he spoke and laughed lightly.Michael’s face actually turned red. “Trevor, I’m happy you are having fun despit
They sat in the living room of the mansion. All are in-laws looking at him. In surprise and in shame. But not grandmother. The woman was just hell bent on accusing him of kidnapping his wife.But the rest seemed to be okay at the moment. Well, not completely, but they didn’t accuse him as she did.“He could have kidnapped her and after seeing we are giving him a hard time, told that mistress of his to bring my granddaughter back,” she spoke, pacing up and down with her stick.He just sat there, not daring to say anything. And he could have done whatever he wanted at this moment. Chase them out of his mansion because, after all, they have done nothing but bother him.But again, they refused to drop the charges. Said they will not believe a word he was telling him. And they will do about anything for him to pay for everything they were accusing him to have done.Micheal looked at him from where he was standing. Silently asking him again why he was tolerating this ungrateful family. But
All of them at the table were in panic and suit. He looked at Mubanga and she just went and took her seat to the side. What could the woman do about it? She was just a secretary.“Trevor, you need to see what you do about this. We can’t just sit here waiting for things to go well. We need to find out what happened. You have lost one of your customers, more will be lost,” James spoke.He sighed, looking at the article that Mubanga just handed me. It was the opening of a new wine company in town. And the damn place looked very elegant and pleasing to the eyes.“I’m sure they will be getting wine from that new company,” she spoke, looking at all of us at the table. “I will go there to find out more about it. Their annual opening is tonight,” she spoke.“I’m coming with you. We need to know who and what we are dealing with here. We just can’t sit here and forget about this. They knew our customer, and they knew how to best beat us to get that customer. Someone knows something,” He spoke.
“Eliza, I need you to come down, I know this is a lot to take in, but do chill and think before making a decision,” Trevor spoke as Eliza paced up and down in the room.“But what do you suggest I do? I can’t lose that company, Trevor. I just can’t. Grandfather trusted me with it,” she spoke and stopped pacing.He sat there quietly, thinking about what she just told him. How she could stand a chance of losing the company when he did everything he could to buy the shares for the company?But by what she told him, there was a possibility of her losing that company.“Eliza, it’s you company, and you are allowed to do whatever you so want with it,” he spoke. “And besides, you and Jackson will be married soon. Isn’t that what you wanted? I’m sure you can work something out. I’m not in your way anymore,” he spoke casually, as if what he just said was supposed to be said. Normal to be said.She was silent for a while then walked to sit next to him, took his hands and put them on her laps, “Tr
He sat in a car with just Eliza. Micheal dropped off to go and do whatever he wanted to do on the way.He studied the people at the party and the ones he was seeing weren’t giving him enough assured that this will be a good party. Though he was getting some ideas about the person, that might be behind this new company.“Trevor, I think we will be okay. I know you are worried about this. You were talking about it while I was seated here,” she added after seeing his look. “But if anyone can overcome this, it’s you,” she smiled for good measure.He also forced a smile on his face, “thanks for those kind words, Eliza. And thanks for agreeing to come with me even when I was acting crappy when asking you out. I appreciate it. But I’m not changing my decision about chasing them out of my house,” he spoke.“I know that, and I’m with you on that one. Because of them I have done way worse things to you even when I wanted to do something opposite of what they were telling me. And thanks for even
They sat in the room as he paced up and down. Looking from Eliza to Mubanga. Trying to see how to best outdo Jackson and his father for what they planned for him.This all thing was pre planned for him. They wanted people to see him acting all violent.“Trevor, what is going on? Why are you so quiet all the sudden?” Eliza asked, standing up.He turned to her, this was because of her. They knew he wouldn’t allow anyone to be near her and much less Jackson. They used her against him. Used his love against him.“What was Jackson doing or saying to you?” He asked, stopping two feet from her. “What did he want to tell you if he got the company from you?” He asked.She looked at him questionably but answered, “well he came to say hi and then he started acting weird and touching me. I told him to stop doing what he was doing to me,Mubanga, but he said I have to agree to his demands. That was all,” she explained.He thought about that for a while, “did he say anything apart from that?” She ju
“Eliza, you didn’t have to do what you did. I know you were trying to help out, but I think you just put yourself on their target list,” he spoke as he drove them home. “Now, they will be coming for you. And you work together with them at the same company. Also, your mother and grandmother loves them,” he added.She just smiled at him, “you think way too much. I know what I did and I don’t regret a thing I said to them. It was the truth. And people needed to know what happened. They have blamed you for far too long,” she spoke.He just sat there, trying to thinking things through. Why wa sit that when he was supposed to separate from her? That is when she started acting like a wife material. She began acting like she cared and she will do anything to keep their relationship.He just blushed the thoughts away and just drove. Both just looking at each other and smiling but said nothing to one another.After driving for a while, Trevor’s phone rang. “Micheal,” he answered.“You case was
They all kept looking at each other as he laid down rules to them. He knew it was going to be hard for them, but that was what he wanted. To make their lives as much miserable as they did with him.All he ever did was be nice, and that was something they were not listening. He tried acting nice to them despite having enough money, but they were still hell bent on making his life hell.“Trevor, don’t you think that is too much? They can’t stay in that place,” Eliza whispered in his ears.He was silent for a while, then he smiled at her before getting back at them, “you need to be thankful to her for all she does. She has been running the family business ever since your grandfather died. And what have you done for her in return? Nothing,” I told them and they all just looked down. “Mateo, you are welcome to stay here if you want. Mother and grandmother alike. But there is a condition,” he smiled at his mother-in-law.She just looked away and then asked, “what is that?”“Pretty simple, a
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
