“Yes, I am around. Who is looking for me?” Amelia unlocked the door of the living room, while going out. She was in her room, having a bow when she heard the car honking. It didn’t come to her mind that this person wanted to see her. As a normal person should do, she got down from her bed and went down to see what was happening. It’s only when she was close to the door that she overheard Daryl’s conversation with her mother.“Oh, Daryl, you are here this morning. Does that mean you’ve not gone to work?” Amelia asked before locking eyes with the brand new car.“What’s this for?” She bombarded again. Her eyes, not leaving the car.Daryl started approaching her, took her left hand into his and kissed the back hand. “To begin with, I would love to know if you had a sound slap. Seeing you, it shows I woke you up from your sleep. I’m very sorry.” He started talking but Amelia was impatient to discover what it was all about.“This car standing here is yours. I asked my car dealer to get me
“No one will deal with anyone here. Let’s go out and have some fun. I know you are angry at her.” Daryl stood up and tried dragging Amelia off the chair.“I don’t think that I want to go out. This idiot just ruined my day.” Amelia bombarded.“I know, that’s why I want us to go out. Let’s use your new car, at least that away you’ll start smiling” Daryl begged which she accepted. He held her hand and they both stepped out. She entered her beautiful car and they spat off.They drove till they were now out of their city. They reached a nearby pool. Where Daryl asked her to stop.“Let’s hang out around here. I’m sure you are going to love the place.” Daryl said she stopped the car. They got down and occupied two seats.“Please do not allow what Elsy said affect you, okay. You are a strong woman and I love the fact that you stood up for me. Thank you so much.” Daryl continued saying.“You are my friend. It’s only normal for me to stand up for the people I love and cherish.” Amelia continue
Two months passed and it was like Amelia and Jace had no relationship together. They barely saw each bother as Amelia was always occupied with Daryl. Some days she would even spend the whole day with him and come back very late at night.Anytime he tried to ask questions concerning her whereabouts, she would scold him and make sure she initiated fear in him. In case he tried to stand up as the real man he is, she would get her mom to do the job.This morning was the same thing. It was even worse than what had been going on the previous days. She has spent over forty-eight hours in Daryl’s place and just walked in.Jace had taken his bath and was ready to go face Daryl. He was in his usual Jean trouser and a whore plain shirt. His face was full of grimaces as he was thinking of what could be going on.“I think I have taken enough of this shit. Have been silent for a while now. I need to teach Daryl some respect.” He uttered while he was trying to wear his convex shoes.He heard the doo
“What? What rubbish are you talking about this time around? I hope you haven’t smoked?” Daryl threatened him through his words.Jace started laughing, “Of course you know what I’m talking about. Don’t try to play games with me. Next time I see my wife roaming around you I’ll do everything I can to reveal to the whole world that you are a fake person.” He warned.“You have no evidence of what you just said, okay?” Daryl yelled, “And for Amelia, don’t worry because I’m gonna keep my stand by her until she decides to completely eradicate you from her life.” “The two days she spent in my house, how did you cope? How did you manage to sleep on an empty bed alone?” He asked, then started smirking. “Oh gosh, I even forgot that you don’t sleep on the same bed.” These words were like knives that pieced his existence. How could Amelia take it upon herself to reveal what was happening in their marital life? That was not normal. As couples, your lives are meant to be private.“What? Can’t you s
He was lost in his thoughts until his maid distracted him with her luggage. He raised his head and noticed how she was struggling to carry the bags. Seeing this, he sighed and focused on his phone.It was not over yet. She opened the door and that’s when he raised his head and parted his lips. “That’s how you are going to continue struggling for your life. It’s good to know I won’t be seeing your dirty face ever in my life.” He spat out.“I’m also happy to leave. It’s with great joy that I’m leaving today. You have to change that nasty attitude of yours. Mind you, if you don’t, you might end up not ever having a maid. I don’t see anyone cohabitating with your dirty self.” She said, plopping her bright eyes on him.“Get out, you are just an idiot who has failed to reap from opportunities. The world of today is all about money, I don’t know if you get it. With my money, I can employ all the maids on earth.” He mentioned it and then returned to his phone.He was struggling to get on line
He was tempted to answer the phone but then he succeeded to calm his nerves. One side of him truly wanted to pick up the call and let Daryl know that he was now aware of his evil plan. But another side urged him not to do so. There was still a whole misery to all this. Why would Daryl summun a lady to be friends with him? That was one misery he was trying to find out.The phone rang in his hands till it went silent. Jin a space of seconds, the phone began ringing again. Still, he retained himself not from answering. When it got silent, it didn’t stay. She got a text message from him.“What’s happening? Why aren’t you picking my calls?” The first message read. He was going to drop it when she received another text. Curious to know what it contained, he looked into it.“So tell me, did you succeed in taking him to the hotel or are you guys still at the restaurant?” The second message read. At this time, Jace was getting more and more confused.“To a hotel? What for?” He whispered to h
“Common, don’t go anywhere. I won’t allow you leave our special dinner just to go meet that fool.” Daryl widened his eyes before commenting.“You should relax, Daryl. I wasn’t going to go home now. Anyway, I cherish the moment we’ve spent together. I just can’t leave and go meet him.” Amelia locked his hands in hers.This moment, Daryl started blushing. He could feel butterflies playing around in his stomach. “Do you really mean it when you say you appreciate all the moment you’ve spent together? Is it coming from a place of willingness or do you just feel like saying it?” He asked, just to be sure his plan was actually working out.“Believe me when I say I mean it. Above all, you’ve been around during Jace cheating moments. You are the one who opened y eyes to see all what has been happening. If not for you, I wouldn’t be aware that he was cheating on me.” Amelia said, her jaws swelling up in smiles.That said, they continued having a nice time. Each time she sipped from her glass of
“Daryl, who is Tessie?” The question played again in his head.Daryl removed his hand off Amelia’s shoulders and took some distance. Amelia turned and looked at him, “What is he talking about? And who is Tessie in the first place?” She implored.“You can ask him, I don’t know what he is talking about.” Daryl said pretentiously. His eyes were interlocking with that of Jace.“Jace, if you don’t know what to say walk away and let me go have a nap.” Amelia started talking.“Why are you in a haste? Look him in the face and see how unfree he is. Do you think he doesn’t know who I am talking about?” Jace continued with his questioned. “Daryl, what is he trying to say? Who is this Tessie lady?” Amelia took some distance and asked.“Yes, Daryl, we need to know who is the Tessie, Jace is talking about.” Elsy added as she was eager to know what misery was behind the Tessie.“How can you ask Amelia to het married to you when you already have a fiancée? Is that normal?” Again, Jace asked. This qu
“I think we should take things slower. Let’s not rush things so we can learn to know each other better. Let’s define our priorities and goals.” Amelia mentioned while they were having dinner.“That’s true, you are very correct. I don’t want us to rush things. Let’s take the process gradually.” Jace confirmed.They spent another hour and it was time to leave. Jace opted to drop her at her house but she insisted that she wants to get a cab.“You have to chill, I’m not gonna allow you to go home on your own.” Jace insisted as he opened the car door for her. Left with no choice, she entered.She didn’t want in any way to be a burden to him, that's why she kept on refusing most of his services. This one she wasn’t going to escape.“Have a sound sleep.” Jace said. He dropped her in front of her gate and waved his hands at her.“Thanks, do have a nice sleep too.” Once he dropped her, he was off to his father’s house. It was literally two weeks since he had last set his foot in their house.
Elsy summoned her courtage and managed to go back to her house. She went there for just two reasons. Firstly, to get her luggage out of his house and secondly, to confront him. If he thinks he was going to go free of charge then he should step off his high horse. She went through his documents and fell on allthe contracts he signed with Marchburry. Going through every damn content, she was able to go through the terms and conditions of the contact. Indeed, Jace didn’t lie when he said Carlos' automobile no longer belonged to him.“My god, how come I didn’t see all this? I have been living in this house for as long as possible and it was just below my nose. How stupid I could be.” Elsy yelled at herself. She continued going through some documents of his. She found a pull of money. Not minding how much it was, she removed five lots of it and put that in her purse. She now kept the other pull back in its rightful position. When she heard the door creaking, she knew it was Carlos. She
“Start the car, we are visiting my father. I hope his maids are aware of my visit?” Jace asked Angelo as he struggled to arrange the files that laid scattered on his table.“Yes, young master. I told them already. The cook asked to know what you’ll love to eat. In no particular order, I stated all meals you love.” Angelo stated.With a smile, Jace heaved heavily. “Thank you, Angelo. Just give me some minutes, when I get done we will go home.” Jace proposed.“Oh, young master let me help you out.” Angelo proposed but Jace refused. He said he could do it on his own.Done at Storm, Angelo accompanied him home. He took his bath, wore one of the expensive suits he got and associated it with an expensive brogue. Looking at himself, he was ready to reintroduce himself to the world.“I’m ready, we can now take our leave.” He said. Angelo opened the door for him and sauntered out, heading to his father's mansion.In the surroundings, he could come into view with his father’s gate. It was bold
Twenty four hours passed and Daryl was still not home. He had spent the night at a nearby bar where he kept drinking and commanding for others.“Serve me and then serve the rest here in my bills. I’m gonna pay for all of them.” He ordered after he had taken his fifth bottle of beer. It was visible that he was tipsy and his statement was as a result of his drunkenness. The bartender knew him so he did just as he said. He served each and everyone present a bottle of beer.“Thank you biggest boss,” Those were the words the young dudes uttered after getting a bottle of beer free of charge.“You kids are all welcome,” He raised his hands and accepted their recognition. He was someone who was in love with those kinds of words.In forty minutes he was done with his drink. He called the bartender to sage him another drink. Quickly, the dude burst out with another bottle in his hand.Once the beer was opened, he sipped for a while before depositing it on his table. He glared and noticed that
“Look at me this teenager, who do you take yourself for? Is it because you had the opportunity to get married to a beautiful and wealthy lady who took you in and sponsored your uselessness?” Robert said. At the end of his statement, he stressed out the last word.“It’s not only about getting married to her. But if calling me useless is because you are interested in her then you can have her to yourself, I don’t care about that. But don’t call me useless ever in your life.” Jace warned.“Get lost, you are useless and that won’t change what I feel regarding you.” Robert challenged him.“Since you are too relaxed and proud of yourself, I’m gonna show you what I have reserved for you.” He said and reached for his pocket. He brought out his phone and dialled Corey’s number. Within seconds of ringing, he picked up his call.“Young master, it’s my pleasure to be on the phone with you. Is there anything I can do for the young master?” Corry asked, his voice growing softer.“Yes, there’s some
“Fired, Sir?” Her eyes widened at this statement. What did she do for her to warrant such evil treatment from him?“Yeah, you heard me correctly. You are here by fired. I don’t want to meet you anytime I come around, like I won’t take it lightly with you.” He made it crystal clear.She raised her hands and dropped them on her head, “Sir, is there anything bad I did? All these years I have served Storm with passion. I have always been loyal and punctual. I am always at work and always delivers at time. If not for that useless Angelo, I wouldn’t have been sent home for two weeks. It’s his fault and not mine.” Alma tried to explain herself.Jace’s face became dark when she referred to Angelo as useless. He would never allow anyone to talk down on Angelo no matter if he was only his driver.“Hey, watch your mouth. This is not the place where you can use any kind of slang.” He said, his brows furrowing, “Do you think just being at work on time is all that is required to run a successful co
“This is a true definition of our lives can change at all times. Can you imagine I just got to found out I was working for my husband without knowing? I had signed contracts with his companies without even knowing they belonged to him.” Amelia said desperately.“I will advice you to start using the term ex-husband as from today, because I’m sure he is gonna cimd back for you. He won’t spare you when he begins the divorce procedure.” Elsy reminded her.“I am still his legal wife, Elsy. You aren’t tell me what to do or how to adress him. He is still my husband.” Amelia yelled.“Oh, darling. Please can you come down your high horse? The same husband you had accepted someone else’s proposal? The same husband you asked him to pack out? Is that the same one you are talking about?” Elsy bombarded.It just dawned on her that she had not treated Jace in the last couple of months. She and her mother were the same. She had everything her mother instructed her to do.“I will be in my room now, I
“I was preparing my revenge.” The word stick them again. There was an absolute silent, as if someone had taken their voices and ran away with it.Amelia finally gathered her courage and spoke up, “So we’ve been staying under the sand roof and you thought it wise to hide things away from me? As couples, that isn’t supposed to take place. It simply shows you hsve been fake from the onset.” Amelia declared.“Oh, spare me that shit. I did everything I could to be a good man to you. Yet you didn’t see that. You kept treating me like a little toy.” Jace bombarded.“What about my grandmother? What did her company got to do with you? What wrong did shd ever do to you?” Amelia continued with her question.“That question is very simple to answer.” Jace started talking, “She was constantly talking down on me. She always insulted and said all kind of trash concerning my unknown family.” Jace pocketed his hands before saying.“That wasn’t her fault. It wasn’t her fault that she didn’t like you. Y
“Daryl, who is Tessie?” The question played again in his head.Daryl removed his hand off Amelia’s shoulders and took some distance. Amelia turned and looked at him, “What is he talking about?
