Jace was angry. But at this time of his life, after all he had experienced, he knew how to control his anger. In situations like these, it was best to stay calm and rational. He needed to. If he wanted his wife loving him like she used to. He thought about telling his wife what he had seen, that he had seen him with many other women. But, he didn’t have any thing to show her as proof. He knew that if he just told her, she would not believe him. It might only push her further to be ‘close friends’. He wanted to fix things not ruin things. He had to come up with a way to tell her to be careful. Thought like that was all Jace had while he went home. He got home to find out that his wife was not home. Where is she? He asked himself. Seeing that she was not home yet, he decided to prepare dinner for both of them. Hopefully, she would be home soon. Whistling a song with his lips, he tied an apron to his waist. The apron matched the colour of his olive green eyes. He was still in th
With those words they exchanged, the peaceful atmosphere disappeared. Jace did not mean to say what he had said that way. He had planned to get his wife’s trust and love first before telling her. But, after hearing what she had said, he could help it. His olive green eyes watched how his wife stared back at him with anger, sadness mixed together. She was not the only one feeling that way. Jace was frustrated. His attempt at getting things to work between them had just failed. She had decided to accuse him of something that didn’t make sense again. He had done all these for her. But, she still kept believing his every action was because of someone who was probably somewhere with her boyfriend! “You did not just say that. Daryl is not a cheat like you. Once he likes a woman, he stays loyal to her. He doesn’t go about deceiving women like you! I bet the woman you are cheating on me with doesn’t know you are married.” Though she was just saying all those words out of anger, Jace took t
Daryl enjoyed coming to Exquisite taste even when he could barely afford a meal at that restaurant. He came anyway. All for the sake of status. He believed that his father was going to win and they were going to be the most influential people in the whole of Madrid. He believed his status would soon surpass every rich folk that were in that restaurant, even in Madrid. He could not risk people looking down on him. Especially when if he was caught eating at a local restaurant and not a five star restaurant like Exquisite taste. When he entered the restaurant the last thing he had expected to see was Amelia Bradley kissing another man that was not her husband. Has the modelling agency turned her to a whore? He asked himself. Especially, because the Amelia he knew was not the type of girl to do this sort of thing. Cheating on her husband! Was she acting all these while? He asked himself. Was the innocence in her eyes only a ploy to have men fall at her feet? Maybe, she had been a play
In this light, something quickly popped into Daryl’s head. He knew he wasn’t going to succeed in having Amelia’s full attention if he didn’t get ride of Jace. Tessie, she was going to do the job!She was the typical IT girl. She was slim with wide hips and big boobs. She also had a pretty face that no one with functioning eyes could call ugly. She had a really long, dark silky hair that stopped just right above her butt. Whenever she went walked into a room, she always had everyone’s attention. She knew how to handle the attention she received from men. She knew how to get what she wanted effortlessly from them without even saying a word or asking. They were always so eager to do her bidding. She had grown up used to that sort of attention. Unlike many girls like her, living the luxurious lifestyle she enjoyed, she had been left in the streets to fend for herself. She was only lucky that she had grown up quite well with the body that had men entranced. For half of her life, she had
“And so what are you doing here?” Jace rested his bottle of beer on the table before interjecting.”This made her have a flashback regarding the conversation she had with Daryl a few days ago.“There’s this work I have for you. If you are able to execute it, then we will both benefit from it.” Daryl stated, rendering Tessah puzzled.“What’s this job if I may ask?” Tessah asked, which made Daryl to chuckle in his seat.“I want you to lure Jace Winston. I want him to belong to you and I want you to make him fall in love with you.” Daryl stated harshly.“And what do I stand to gain?” Tessah raised from her seat and questioned her so-called boyfriend.“You have a lot to gain from this, darling. For example, you will gain much money once I’m able to lure Amelia to fall in love with me. If you are ready then let’s proceed.”**********************************She again looked at Jace, this made her remember she had a big task ahead of her. As she promised Daryl, she intended luring him in her
Back at Daryl's home.“How did your first encounter with Jace go? Was he soft with you, or did he react he react negatively?” Daryl asked, as soon as he opened the door for Tessie. She ignored her question and first took a seat before answering him, “Well, it wasn’t that bad… his wife is indeed a beauty goddess.” She finally mumbled.Daryl chuckled at her words before continuing, “Yes, she is inddeed a Beauty goddess, one of the rare beauties the city of Madrid possesses. It’s too bad that all this while she has been hiding her true identity. She was supposed to get married to me, if only that idiot didn’t stood in my way.” Daryl clenched his fist before declaring.“Hey.” She rolled her eyes before him. Then approached him and dis clenched his fist. “Hey, look at me. I am in your life now, you shouldn’t give a fuck about her anymore.” Tessie tried to clarify things.She started making some moves in the living room. After walking for some minutes, she finally parted her lips before dec
News arrived Granny Modella that Amelia wasn’t in good term with Jace and that she was planning on chasing him. She saw this as the perfect time to match Robert and her last granddaughter.She reached out to Robert and he told her he wound be available for the dinner. As for Amelia, she really did not have to know that something like that was going to take place. ‘Follow me to the family gathering’ was the only thing she needed to be aware of.Given that Robert gave her the go alert, she contacted her staff and they began with the preparations for the gathering.The hall was set already, Granny Modella set at the hall that they were going to use for the dinner. But it wasn't a family dinner after all, it was all a plot so that she was going to get a way to talk to Robert just as she had promised.She drew a really deep breath. "I just hope that this works out." She said in her head as she kept on staring at the hall for a while.Robert was going to meet her granddaughter, just as he ha
It was as though my world was tearing apart into a million. She did not know what to do or who to believe. Love was supposed to bring healing and hope.The thought of what she just said to her.But she also thought about Blake who seemed to be heels over and he was going to do anything just to get to be With her.And after Staring right into his eyes a few days ago, that was the exact same thing that he could see. Love and affection.And right here, she could see that too in Robert's eyesShe was so confused now than it seemed as though her head was going to split up into two halves"What the heck in the name of ten devils am I supposed to do now?" She yelled in her head.But it was just kind of tearing her apart with so much confusion.She wanted to push him away and yell at him. Tell him that there was absolutely nothing that could go on between them but she held herself from doing this but it was not because she could not do it, it was because as she tried to to admit the thought, a
“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
