The all way home he was silent. Allowing her to suffer with questions to what was happening. The woman had no idea to what was happening at all. How her husband happened to get so much money to buy her shares of the company to save her company.

He had no money to get a new expensive SUV. Just this morning he was taking a taxi to go out. And now he appeares with money enough to buy her shares.

She was drowning in questions and he was not giving her a chance to ask any of them. She couldn’t even think of asking him what was happening because she had no idea where to start. Other than wait as he told her to. For everyone to get to the mansion that was apparently his according to Charity.

Half way home, his phone rang. He took it from the holder and Charity was calling.

“Yes Charity,” he answered.

“I have the papers you needed for the mansion. Should I sent to your email or you will get them tomorrow?” She asked.

“You should send them. I need them. And you called at the right time as always. Thanks for been supportive,” he spoke and risked a glance at his wife — who was trying to act as if she was not paying attention.

“Anytime. I’m just doing my job sir. Anyway have a good night and see you tomorrow,” she spoke.

“Have a good night as well,” he spoke and cut off the phone.

After a few minutes Eliza finally talked. She couldn’t keep it all inside and wait for them to reach home. Trevor didn’t have friends and much less girl friends. The all thing was weird and she needed to find out what was happening as soon as possible.

“Who were you talking to? Not that I care if you are seeing someone else. But because this all things is weird,” Eliza spoke in a rush.

He smiled as he shot her a stealy glance. “It’s Charity. She works at my wine company which your grandfather left for me. And there is no need to act up. She is just my worker.” He spoke.

She flinched in her sit at what he just said. “I’m not acting up. As I said I don’t care.”

“Hopefully that is the truth. Anyway, I love you and I will forever love you. You are my one and only. The one that my heart beats for. I can’t see myself leaving without you. Even though you pretend you don’t love me even a bit, I know deep down you feel something for me,” he smiled her way as he entered the gate.

“I don’t love you, idiot. Why would I want to spend the rest of my life with someone like you? You were crying over a bike in front of people for the love of God. Everyone at work were laughing at me. I have said this and I will say it now. You and I can never be. Forget it. And if that shred you just pulled off there was all to impress me then you have put yourself in trouble.” She spoke, making sure he felt every impact of her words. And they pierced through his heart.

He doesn’t know and he doesn’t understand how he still love her after everything she has done to him. She was willing to divorce him because she wanted to save the company. She would rather they divorce then her losing the company. She has said way too many things to him that have hurt his feelings time and time again. But he still can’t let go of her.

He just bought the freaking shares for her. Sometimes he thought loving her was a mistake. A curse. Because he can do anything for them to be together.

“It hurts. Everything you just said. But I will do it because of Mr. Noah. He wanted me to be with you. That I’m meant for you. Anyway, what I did back there wasn’t to impress anyone. I got you want you wanted. Now you can’t go off and marry that bastard,” he spoke and they went out of the car.

He followed her behind as they walked inside the mansion. Three more cars pulled behind but he never paid attention to it. He has more things he needed to worry about than that. He needs to make sure things work out tonight. Make sure they get what they deserve for everything they have done for him.

“What do you think you are doing? You have down enough already. Don’t do this to yourself, Trevor,” she spoke.

“I’m only doing what I needed to do all this time. To put your family straight. The family is broken. None of you cares for each other. You only care about each other because one has the money,” he spoke as he took his sit at grandmother’s usual couch.

There was silence as everyone walked in. And they all just looked at him perplexed by his gesture. And the people that were not at the company — all the in-laws were present and he couldn’t ask for a better audience.

Then the person he wanted to see so much walked in. Her eyes widened upon seeing what Trevor had done.

“What do you think you are doing?” Grandmother asked.

“And I told you to get your little things and leave this house. I don’t want to see your face ever again,” his mother-in-law spoke.

He just smirked at all of them. Then he stood up and began clapping. Looking from each of them.

“What the hell are you clapping about? You threw your little shred at the company. Here we will teach you a lesson,” one of the son-in-law spoke.

“Alexander, If I we’re you i would rather just keep quiet. You weren’t there and you have no idea what happened. Also what right do you have to throw me out of this house? As far as I know it belongs to none of you,” he spoke looking from each of them. “And i can’t believe you were also in it,” he looked at his wife.

But she looked from grandmother to her mother. Then looked back at Trevor. Trying to see what was happening, “What the hell are you talking about?”

“Wait they didn’t tell you?” He glared at his mother-in-law. Then sighed at the thought that his wife was in the dark and she had no idea what was happening. That way he can’t have another reason why he should hurt her.

“Mother what is he talking about?” She asked again.

They were all silent. Then after a while he took his sit and cleared his throat. “They lies about the will Mr. Noah left. Well not all. By most of the important things they lied about them,” he spoke, smiling at their paranoid faces.

“Grandmother what is he talking about?” She asked again.

“Nothing. He is just talking nonsense. Don’t listen to him. He is a crazy man and he needs to be thrown out of the mansion. Take him away!” She shouted.

He raised a hand as they walked to him. “Since you still don’t want to say a thing to your youngest granddaughter I will do it. And it seems you all were in it too. I was going to pit you. But you have showed me no mercy.”

“Trevor just get to it already!” She scolded.

“So, yesterday I got a message from the company I never knew existed. And after I went there this morning I found out your grandfather left the wine company in my name. Which is doing better than your tea and coffee company. Then the woman I found there told me about the mansion been in my name. I don’t know how they managed to fool all of us here,” he spoke walking to his wife. “I know they didn’t tell you because they knew you wouldn’t let them get away with it. Deep down you are a good person unlike them. They lied about it all,” he explained holding her hands.

But she pulled away. One step at a time. She walked to her mother. Looking deep in the woman’s eyes. Then she turned to look at her grandmother.

“He is—“

“Grandmother I need the truth now. I don’t want you to keep lying to me. Is what he is saying the truth? Did grandpa leave this mansion in his name?” She asked. “Mother please. I’m not a kid anymore,” she pleaded.

There was silence and then her big sister spoke. “How can you listen to this lowlife then us. Your family.”

“Because this lowlife is saying the truth. And here I have what I need to prove my claims,” he spoke and took his phone from his pocket. Pressed on it for a while then handed it to his wife.

She was silent for a while. She couldn’t believe what she was seeing. They kept it all from her. All because they also knew she wouldn’t allow them to do that to him.

He looked from one to the other. Happy to see the look on their faces. It was wealth every second of his life. Hopefully it stays like this from now on. Leap to the top.

    They sat in silence in the living room. Trevor still sitting on grandmother’s couch. Everyone stood. Except for the old woman and his mother-in-law.Eliza was still looking at the phone. Trying to see a fault in what he just showed her. She looked at him a couple of times. Opening her mouth and closing it again. She had nothing to say about the whole thing.She looked at her family members, but they all tried to look away from her.“Why would I lie about such a huge thing, Eliza? You have seen it for yourself and, in case you are in denial, they can’t even look at you right now. They have nothing to say to you because they know what I’m saying is the truth,” he spoke walking to her. “I know this is all a lot to handle. It was as well for me. But we can’t run away from reality. All we can do is embrace every moment of it. Life is too short to worry about crap,” he spoke, resting his hands on her shoulders.She looked up at him, and he let her go. She walked to her grandmother and sat n

    The night He just had was the best night of his life. Still not able to believe he was rich now. Able to provide for his wife and for himself. Get back at the people that looked down on him.But he was still trying to think if what he was doing was the right thing. Allowing the people that wanted him dead to be left with him on the same roof.They can easily kill him. Poison him or something else. Though you never give up on family, he was thinking twice about his decision to allow the Noah family to leave under the same roof as him.But what was he going to do about it? This was the only way to prove to his wife that he was still good. That money didn’t change him. It was the only way to prove to himself that he was still good.“Sir, this responsibility is way too much for me to carry. What am I going to do now? You know your family better than I could have. I love you and I want to do the right thing. But that right thing might be my death,” I spoke, looking at Mr. Noah.He just got

    He looked at the note that sat on the table. Trying to think about what it all meant and why they sent it to him. If it was not addressed to him, then maybe he would have thought the mailman made a mistake. But the note was addressed to Trevor.He sighed and got up, walking around the room. Thinking if he had any enemies in mind. The only people he could think of that would want to get to him were his in-laws. They all hurt him for the stance he just pulled the other night.He took the thing they called home. They have no say around the house because of him. They never liked him in the first place, and now that he has money and he was treating them the way they deserved, their hurt grew.Before he could pick up his phone, someone entered the office.“Eliza,” he spoke as he turned around. “What do I owe this pleasure?” He asked and gestured for her to take her sit.She began as she sat, “I just wanted to make something clear...”“So, you came all the way from work to make that somethin

    They talked for some more time in his office. Him telling her and asking her time and time again for her to tell him about the people that wanted him dead.But the woman refused to review their identity.All he could make of it, and the people he could think of, were his in-laws. After what he just did to them, they were out to get him and will do about anything for them to get their hands on his money and everything he had now.“Listen, Natalia, I appreciate what you are doing here. But they wanted me dead because they didn’t want me to attend the party. Because of what I have now. So, they are not expecting me there. And I need to be aware of them when I show my face there. Just tell me who they are?” He pleaded.But the woman just looked at him and smiled. Took another sip from the wine and slapped the bottle on the table. “We talked about being confidential. You almost refused to take this offer because I betrayed the people that hired me first. And besides, what will be the fun o

    He looked at her as he repeated the question, “what do you mean by the one I’m not expecting will be the one that hired you?”She smiled, looking at him, “nothing. I was just telling you to keep an eye open. And speaking of eye opening, your wife has been looking at us all this time. Actually, a lot of people are looking at us. I think she is jealous,” she spoke and tapped his shoulder as she walked past him.He stood there, thinking about what she just said to him. People were canning, that is one thing he knew. But what she said about him trusting people was something he really needed to put into consideration. What if as Natalia said the one his not expecting to hire Natalia was the one that hired her? That will give the person way too many chances to eat away with everything because he or she is not on the suspect list.Just as he turned to Natalia, Eliza called. “Trevor, can you come here please,” she gestured to where she was standing with three men that looked to be in their ea

    He looked at her with rage burning in his eyes when he asked again, “what the hell are you doing here, Natalia? I thought I made it clear that you need to leave this place,” he spoke and finally allowed Eliza to get out of his grip.“Well, I thought about everything. Your offer of me allowing you to be safe,” she spoke and walked past him, then locked the door and put the keys in her pants. “And I reached a conclusion dear,” she spoke and looked at Eliza. “I’m sorry that things didn’t work out between us, but it was nice doing business with you,” she spoke.Trevor stood there dumbfounded, trying to grasp what she was saying. What does she mean it was nice doing business with her? Was she saying that to him or to his wife?And if to his wife, when did Eliza and Natalia meet and began doing business together?“Oh, you didn’t tell him? Whoops,” she spoke and slapped a hand on her mouth. “I thought that is the reason his dragging you up here like a mad person,” she smiled at Eliza.“Natal

    He looked at them again, waiting for them to say what they wanted at his house. Why they would even show up and block him from going to work? But they just stood there. Watching him.“Aren’t you supposed to say something or anything? What do you want here?” He finally asked.Then one of the police officers spoke, “Sorry, sir, but someone reported you to us that you kidnapped their sister or something. So, we need to take you in, if you don’t mind.”He smiled, trying to be sane in all this madness that was going on in his life. As if messing with his company was not enough, they have gone to this extent.First, his wife hired some messed up assassin to take him down. When all he has ever done was love her. All he ever wanted was for her to love him back. Nothing more. But that is what she repays him with.And then they messed with his company and now this.“Listen, sir.

    “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?

    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
