"Angelo, meet me at the usual spot." Once Jace was out of the Bradleys mansion, he called his driver."Yes, Sir. I'll be on my way now." Angelo said before disconnecting the call.Jace began walking till he reached where his driver usually pick him up. When he arrived his driver was not yet there. He had to continue waiting him under the sun. After waiting him for close to thirty minutes, his anger began boiling, as he did not understand why Angelo would allow him burn under the sun.He reached for his pocket and brought his phone. He was about to dial his number, when hr saw a Bentley approaching him."What fucking took you long to get here? Don't you see that the sun is to harsh?" Jace poured his anger on the innocent Angelo who had nothing to do with what he was facing right now."I'm sorry for coming late, please pardon my tardiness." Angelo bowed his head before opening the car for his boss to enter. Jace coldly entered the car without sparing him a glare.After two hours of sil
"Okay, sir. Then let's take a look at all the mansions." The young man stated.Jace with the help of Angelo walked over the big tower looking for something decent. His original plan was searching for something much beautiful than that of the Bradley's villa. He wanted the best beautiful mansion in big tower."This is the most beautiful mansion in big tower. This mansion right here contains twenty-five spacious rooms in total, five living room, three balcony, a swimming pool, and you can see all through the town when you are at the fourth level of the building." The young man stated, hoping it was enough to convince Jace.After strolling and glaring every single corner of the house. He affirmed it to be the most beautiful house of the big tower."So, how much does it cost?" Jace asked politely."200 million dollars." The man said, his voice growing softer."Alright, do you accept card? Cause I don't walk with that kind of money." Jace uttered."Yes, Sir. We do accept cards." The sales
The next day arrived, and Jace got up as early as he could and took a bath. After which he wore his clothes. Before 7 am, he was ready to go to his so-called boss' house."Darling, I'm ready for work. Do you want me to prepare you anything before going out?" He asked Amelia who just got up.She was still feeling sleepy when she heard Jace's voice. She only wiped her eyes with the back of her hand to have a clearly view of him."Oh… You are ready, already? That's good." She complimented his fighting spirit."yes, I am. Do you want me to do anything for you?" He asked again."Nope, just go to work. If I want anything I'm going to ask the maids to prepare it." She said before covering herself with the duvet that lied by her side.With a smile on his face, he gave her a peck before dashing out of the house. Reaching at the next building, he tried calling Angelo, but he wasn't picking up his calls.After calling twice without a response on his part, he stopped calling and started walking t
Jace got home later in the evening and was wowed by the preparation going on. The maids had lots of food they were cooking and some unknown figures were decorating the living room.Beside was Carlos and Bernand; Adora's spouse sharing a drink. He didn't bother to go give them a hand shake, he knew he was not welcomes by them so it was best for him to resume to his room.While climbing upstairs, he stumbled on his Granny Modella who was going down. She was one of the last people he ever wanted to see."Good day, Mother." He lowered his head."Humm…" She only stared at him like a piece of trash and ignored his existence.He continued walking till he heard her clear her throat. He knew she was about to say something. He turned and lowered his head."Concerning your boss, did you talk to him about us?" She asked, her voice low and intimidating."No, mother. He didn't ask, he isn't the type that talks a lot." He responded calmly.Tsuip!She sighed before walking down. She was now with Ame
“Jace, go upstairs I’ll meet you soon.” Amelia stated while vigorously glaring at him.Before Jace could walk out on the crew, he didn’t stop glaring at Daryl who was looking him like he was a piece of trash.“I’ll go darling, please don’t be long.” He said, glaring at his most hated person before walking out on them.Seated and running his hand through his silky hair, he couldn’t help but feel pressured. “What are they going to talk about? Hope he isn’t planning on begging money from her.” He thought to himself.After thinking for some time, he decided to put that on the back of his mind and concentrate on the file Angelo handed to him before they left each other.Back in the living room, Amelia was in the presence of Bernard and Daryl, she did stay away from Carlos as she knew he was a no go area.“Amelia, can we go outside for a while?” Daryl bundled his pride into one before asked her.Once he mentioned that, both Granny Modella and Carlos turned to look at him. Fortunately for hi
Amelia was now in her room and joined Jace who was seated and patiently waiting for her. When she walked in, she sat on her bed and started thinking. Of course her husband was worried about what she was going through. He tried to show concern but his curiosity only ended with her looking at him like a piecemeal of trash.After several minutes of thinking, she opened her bag and took out her notebook where she had everything about her company written down. This notebook contained even how much she had succeeded to gather.After carefully going through it, she found out her company had been making some profits. “If that’s the case, then I can lend him some money, hoping after everything is done he gives me back.” She murmured to herself.She brought out her chèque noté and wrote down ten million on it, rushing to go hand it to Daryl. She thought he was still seated at the balcony so she directly left her room there. When she got there, he wasn’t around. She was forced to go back inside
“I already told you I’m not giving you the chèque. You can’t help someone who has never done anything for you. Let him help himself.” Jace suggested, keeping the chèque far away from her.Getting Jace say such words to her, she placed her hands on her middle and lowered her head for a while. She was trying to control herself not from uttering anything stupid. But it didn’t work as she was forced to pour insults at him again.“Are you the one saying Daryl has never helped me? Are you… and you, what have you done for me since you entered my life and that of my family? You’ve only caused us pain and degraded our name in the society.”“Daryl has been a good friend to me, he even offered me money when my business was crashing. You better give me that…” Before Amelia could complete her statement, Jace harshly interrupted her.“I am tired of you and your family constantly pouring insults on me, do you get? What were you expecting from me?” He paused before continuing with his speech.“Aren’t
“It’s more clear now, he was the person who brought me that flower. Would he be…” Before she could finish mumbling to herself, a voice came from the exterior, jerking her from her reverie.“Good morning, madam. Is there anything we can do for you!” Angelo bombarded at once.“Good morning, president. I’m Amelia Bradley, the one who signed the contract with Storm/Marchburry.” She declared.Angelo looked at her face again for a whole minute, searching for the right way to deal with this situation. “Oh… the famous CEO of AB modeling firm, how are you doing ?” He stated beneath his lips.“I am fine, president.” Amelia said.“Okay. Please follow me to my office, I’m sure you want us to have a word, not so?” With a straight face, Angelo requested. Amelia nodded her head nonchantly before following him.It took them some minutes before reaching his office, during this time, Amelia didn’t stop glaring at Jace, but him on the other side tried all things possible to avoid their eyes colliding to
“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? 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
