He just stood there like he had been struck by lightning. This was something he didn’t expect coming from her. They are words he had been longing to hear from her. Words he wanted her to say to him so badly.But with time, he never expected them anymore. He lost all interest in hearing her tell him those three words. Why did she have to do this to him at a time like this? All he wanted now was to forget about her and focus on his business and life.He suffered so much at the hands of this family and he never wanted to do anything with them anymore. He no longer wanted anything that tired him with them.But now she just told him she loved him. She brought joy to his heartbeat, back to life again. Suddenly, he felt like a heavy weight was lifted off his shoulders.He felt peace and comfort again. Something he had lost a long time ago. He kept telling himself he was over her and after she nearly killed him, he never wanted anything to do with her. But maybe those were just words he used
After he finished dressing up, he walked downstairs in a hurry, then Eliza called him after seeing him pass in a hurry as she was at the dining table waiting for him.“Aren’t you eating? You still have about a few minutes until the meeting. You will be tired,” she said, smiling at him. The woman was willing to try everything she could to get him back.She didn’t even mind his earlier comments. She was still trying her best to get into his good books.“I don’t think I will manage Eliza. I will be late and I would not want to keep them waiting. Those old people already hurt me for some reason. I don’t want to give them more reason to think I’m wasting their time,” he said, looking at his wristwatch.“Then let me pack the food for you, you will eat it once you have some break from work. If that is okay with you?” She spoke as she stood waiting for him.He was silent for a while as he thought about that. He knew allowing her to do these things meant he was willing to give their relationsh
They sat in the meeting room with the judge looking at him. After she asked him the questions, she did. He didn’t know what to say or do at the moment. He knew whatever he was going to say; he needed to be careful with that. Anything else was going to put him in trouble.Jackson had played his game now. He had made sure it was in a deep hole. Because those only prove to other board members that he was ruining things. Ever since he came into power, nothing had gone right in the company.“Mr. Trevor, you do know you need to speak, right? We are just asking you questions because we are trying to get to the bottom of what happened. Your company has wine that contains drugs that can be very dangerous for human consumption. What can you say about that?” She asked as she leaned closer to him.“There is nothing he can say about that, my judge. He knew his wine was filled with drugs. He just needed money and proved to himself that he was no longer the commoner we all think he was. But instead
after seeing that he wasn’t believing her, and that he just wanted to see it for himself, she took him to the TV room.“Mateo, this is where you go home. I’m sure your wife and son are waiting for you. And you need to go and try to find other means to support your claims when Eliza finds out you spent your money on gambling,” he told him as the man tried to follow them behind.“Come on, brother-in-law. Maybe I can help,” he said, even failing to keep his balance in check.Trevor just shook his head, “I think you are tired, man. You need to go home. Ask any of the drivers to take you home. I don’t think you can drive yourself home.” He said and followed Mubanga behind.“How do you put up with them? I don’t think I can manage dealing with such a family. I know they are your wife’s family, but come on man. They made your life a living hell. Especially that grandma and Eliza’s mother. Why are they in your house?” Micheal asked as they walked in the passageway.“I have been asking myself t
“How are you walking so perfectly just when, in a few minutes, you couldn’t walk properly? You are supposed to be badly drunk, Mateo,” he said, walking to the man.Mateo turned as he smiled at Trevor, “well, I drum some water and some medication I got from the pharmacist to help with my beer drinking. I think it’s working.”Trevor studied the man, and he knew he wasn’t telling him the truth. Something was off and if he was not going to do anything about it, he would be doomed for good. He needed to be careful with the people he needed to trust. It seemed like everyone was out to get him. Like the whole world was against him.“Mateo, go home,” he said and walked to the meeting. But as he walked, a lot of questions ran through his head. There were just way too many coincidences that happened for what he was thinking to be false.As the man showed up at the perfect time, they were discussing what they needed to do about the person that Jackson might have used to put drugs in the wine. An
He sat in a bar as he enjoyed a cap of beer he ordered. After everything that he just went through, he decided to take some of the pressure out, and he thought it best to go to a bar.After taking a few shots, he could barely walk, and then a woman walked over and helped him when he nearly fell on the table.“There you go,” she spoke with a constricted voice. “I think you need to stop taking this now,” she said and took the bottle of beer from him. “I will pay you,” she said and gave money to the bartender before she walked in outside the bar. “Can you remember where your place is?” She asked as they stopped. “Or what car you came in?” She added, trying to make him look at her. “And you smell,” she said.He tried looking as much as he could have managed, but he could barely make out her face. All he knew was she had a British accent, and that was that. Also, her hair was long because it kept blushing his face as she carried him to the car.“So, we will go to my house and then maybe to
The whole time in his mind, he thought something might have happened between her and Jackson. Then why would she try to have him kidnapped so that she could marry Jackson? Something might have happened between them for her to make such a decision.And they were childhood friends. The man has been in her life more than he could have been. And her whole family loved him and wanted him to marry Eliza. So Trevor thought they might have done something behind him. And maybe that was why he was not feeling that much guilt that something might have happened between him and Angela. It was only fear, after all.He looked at her as he dressed up, after he said that to her, she had been quiet. And that made him feel stupid and like he was not a good person for maybe sleeping with another woman.All his life, he was trying to get closer to her. Ever since he got married to her. Actually, ever since Mr. Noah introduced him to her. After that night, she took his heart, and it has been hers ever sinc
“Angela, what the hell are you doing here?” He asked and walked to her. “As if sending pictures to my wife was not enough, you follow me here. What do you want exactly from me woman,” he said for only her to hear.Mubanga just stood there in stunned disbelief at what was happening. “Have you two met?” She finally asked as she watched them exchange a few more words.“Well, kind of. What is she doing here?” He asked, looking at Mubanga.“Well, she is the new ambassador for the wine I told you about,” she said, still looking from one to the other, trying to understand what was happening.He turned to look at Angela who was just smiling, and all the questions he tried to forget about came back to him all over again. What did she want from him? What was her motive in sleeping with him? And sending those pictures to Eliza. Was she just doing it for fun, or did she have something else planned for him?“Why didn’t you say something about it? And was there no one available apart from her?” He
