“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
Months had passed by so quickly and it was time for the president of the country to be announced, just as it was supposed to be.Hearts were racing. Families forgot about their rivalries and all came together just to glue their faces to the TV show.Jace was not left out. He could say that his heart was pounding even more than that of the contestant that he was supporting. That’s just because he didn’t want Alan to win as he was a threat through his number of votes."He can't lose. He certainly can't lose." He kept on spitting out as his heart raced even faster.He decided to watch this in the comfort of his home at big tower where no one was going to disturb his peace. He heard a car honking and for a while, he was really confused. "Who could that be?" The thoughts voiced itself out from the inside of him.He thought that everyone was going to be at their homes at that time. Well at least not everyone, every patriotic citizen."One unpatriotic citizen you got there Jace." His subconsc
The election had come and gone but all this while, Amelia could not focus because she was thinking of how Daryl was going to repay her money. He had promised to pay back when his father wins the elections, looking at things, she doesn’t even know if he will reimburse it.She called it the tragedy of her life. Quickly, she soon began thinking of her love life. The Love triangle that She had been left to struggle with."Blake or Robert." The thoughts kept on ringing in her head.Anytime that she laid down to sleep, she could see their faces and right now, it seemed as though she was being hunted by their spirits.She was beginning to have sleepless and sweaty nights, always gasping for breath and thinking about the way forward.And though it had been weeks, She still could not get herself to make up her mind on any decision and this was beginning to get down way too bad.She decided to skim through her phone for any motivational quote to help her.“Certainly not a Love quote. I don't wan
The tension in the house was no longer bearable, it was no longer what Jace could handle. Going to work early and coming back late didn’t still succeed in bringing down the tension. It only made it worst.The morning arrive, and he quickly woke up from the chair in which he slept. Since Amelia chased him out of her room, Mrs. Elizabeth accorded him to sleep on a chair in the living room. The condition for this was for him to wake up very early.He took his bath in the visitors room and was only permitted to get to Amelia’s room just to dress up.It was 7:15 am and he had already taken his bath. He gradually took his time before climbing the stairs. It was more like he was counting his steps.Ding!Ding!Ding!He constantly knocked on her door, it’s the third time that she responded. “Who’s that?” She bombarded. This voice of hers immediately weakened Jace’s legs.Before he could response, he had to gather all his courage.“I’m the one, Amelia.” He kept his voice low before responding
“Okay, you want me to tell you the truth, right?” Prisca mentioned with a stern face.Jace looked at her again and began to whisper to himself. It was actually a bad idea of bouncing on her in that manner. But then, he really wanted to hear what she had kept in her mind all this while. After all, what was she going to tell him that he hadn’t heard yet?“Yeah, go on.” Jace raised his head before declaring. His face was straight, and his leg was hitting the sole of the floor.“Okay, to begin with, I have never liked you.” She started her sermond. Jace already knew about that.“I also don’t like the fact you are married to Miss Amelia. She is a responsible woman and works her own money, unlike you who have decided to be a mendicant. You are not even qualified to touch a strand of her hair.” Prisca said. After she finished ranting, Jace just looked at her as if she had lost her sanity.With his hands folded over his chest, he cleared his throat before uttering, “I believe you are done.”“
“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
