“What do you think you are doing?” Eliza asked as Natalia locked her up. “I thought you were just messing with me and playing along. Like part of the plan for you to do what I asked you to do. What the hell is the meaning of this, Natalia?” She scolded.“Oh, precious lady. Seriously, woman. What the hell did you think was going to happen when you get involved with an assassin? I kill people for a leaving, woman,” she spoke and turned her back on her. “I need money or I will go hungry to bed. And I can never do that to my beautiful self,” she spoke.“But made you think Trevor will show? What I did to him was worse than everything I have ever said or done to him. He will not show up here to save me. And much less spend money on someone who wanted him died,” she spoke as she looked down.Natalia turned with a smile on her face. “That is what you think. Because sadly, you never got to learn to say what is inside your husband’s heart. How did he ever end up marrying you in the first place?
He sat in a rather dim place. With only one source of light. And they seemed to be no hope inside. But he was trying to hold on to the little hope he was left with.He looked from left to right. Pupils a bit dilated even though he was trying to pretend all was okay. That he got this.But the truth of the matter this was beyond anything he could have ever thought of. This was something he never imagined to happen to him.One day, he was excited that he was now rich and could afford anything he wanted. That no one will ever look down on him. And the next day he was locked up. How was that even possible?Was it a curse or what? Destined to be poor. The moment you have money, some messed up crap happens.Before he could lose himself in thoughts even more, the same police officers that took him in walked in. Smiling.He looked from one to the other. Putting on a rather determined face.“So, here is what will happen. We will ask questions and I expect you to be truthful. This will save both
“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
