The whole thing was stupid. Why would they suggest he was selling illegal wine to people? They knew it was false, but they were not stupid to bring it up, that he knew much.

He knew it was all planned because Jackson was now losing Eliza to him. Because the woman finally realized how much he loved her after he saved her from Natalia.

But he was far from that. He told himself he only did that because of humanity. Because he had feelings and cared for her. He might have loved her once, but that was far gone as far as he was concerned. But now she was head over heels for him. And that all thing was leading to this.

Jackson hated Trevor from the start. He wanted to make him pay more than anyone wanted. First, Mr. Noah married Trevor to his granddaughter, who he loved so much. Then he found out the man he pushed around had inherited a fortune. Of course, the man was furious about that.

The only thing that was making him feel like he can have Eliza was the fact that he was richer than Trevo

    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.

    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.

    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

    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
