After the little scene which occurred at Amelia’s room, Jace thought it wise to grab his belongings and leave the house. After all, he had done all that he could to make her believe the lady at the restaurant was only a stranger.

But coming to think of it, it was a bad decision as this action of his could stare up suspicions. Already he was poor and had nowhere to go. What if he left the house now?

Dismissing the idea from his mind, he raised his head in the sky and watched the birds chirp.

“Hola, see who I caught.” Carlos chuckled before admitting.

He was putting on a Jean trouser and a green T-shirt, with a white hat. His hands tucked in his pocket and he plopped his god damn eyes on Jace.

Jace lowered his head to see the figure who stood in his face. Setting his eyes on Carlos made him remember last night, the argument he had because of him. His presence caused him goosebumps.

He tried as much as he could to be gentle and avoid his gaze, but Carlos won’t let him be.

    “Elsy, what are you doing here?” Carlos abruptly turned and faced his wife who wore a surprised face.She ignored his question and pose another one, “Why don’t you answer the question I asked? Or do you want me to repeat it?” With her hands placed on her waist, she uttered vehemently.“Humm….” Carlos began stuttering. At this minute, he was searching for what to say to convince his wife that what he just uttered was a cheap joke.“I’m going to chop off Daryl’s head if he doesn’t get grandma’s medicines ready before the end of today.” He turned and said, pretending to be nervous.Luckily for him, his grandma was on drugs and Wildlife pharmacy was responsible for providing the medications.“Oh…” The serious face Elsy wore got back to normal.“That shouldn’t get you nervous. You have lots of employees to take care of that. I only came to tell you food is ready.” Elsy spoke and turned to leave, without waiting for him.“Okay, I’ll be with you all shortly.” Carlos gently said while glancin

    “Enough, I won’t have you guys turn this house into a show. This is not a ground where you can all carelessly unleash your noise, please.”? Elizabeth said, irritation Filling her countenance.“Elsy, that’s poor of you. You shouldn’t talk to Carlos that way. Have you forgetten that he is the one who takes care of you? He is your husband so he deserves your respect.” Elizabeth added.While she was speaking, Amelia didn’t help but continue smiling. This funny attitude of hers got her mother’s attention as she turned and gazed at her coldly.“Amelia, I don’t know why your teeth are out, but trust me, this isn’t funny at all.” Elizabeth coldly mentioned.Amelia stopped laughing, she now wore a serious face before responding, “It’s not my fault if they are funny.” Talking of the person who brought up all this confusion, he just walked in. Only his presence made Carlos’ heart beating twice the normal range.“We were just talking about you,” Elizabeth snapped when she saw Jace walking to th

    The next day….Jace bundled himself into one, and left the Bradleys house for big tower. He was absent yesterday and couldn’t afford to miss today even if he was the president, and he was just playing a game.Not wanting to create any tension as it already was, he left in his grey trouser and green T-shirt. It took him approximately fifteen minute before he reached big tower. Angelo was ready and was waiting for him by the car.“Good morning, sorry I arrived late. I had some issues to sort out.” He said, lowering his head as if Angelo was the real boss.Angelo’s face quickly lighten up when he heard his boss said that. “There’s no need excusing yourself, young master. It’s not long since I walked out.” He spat out.“Then enter the car and let’s go. I don’t want the employees to think your coming late is associated with you being the president.” Jace declared before entering the car.It took him twenty five minutes before they reached. They were really late, as clients who had been wis

    “I heard this the day your wife scolded you. In your misunderstanding, I heard her call you Jace.” She said, making him halt in his steps.He shook his head awkwardly before responding, “And you seemed happy to see my wife make a whole scene, whereas you knew what she said wasn’t true.” “I’m sorry.” She said seductively, but that did still not stop him from opening the car door.“Okay, okay. Let me present my apologies for this. What do you think if we both talk over a glass of wine, juice or anything that suits your taste. How about that?” Tessie asked, her voice low and seductive. With her hands entwined together, she was hoping her sultry voice was enough to convince him. He glared at her for a second and said nothing. He later glared at the plastic he had in hand before raising his head up. “As you can see, my boss asked me to bring him this.” He said, raising the plastic up. “So we can’t hang out, sorry.” He mentioned.She chuckled, as if that wasn’t a problem for her. “Oh, I

    “How did the second date go?” Daryl questioned when Tessie rested her butts on the chair.She ignored his question, then poured herself a glass of vodka and gulped down the whole content before raising her head.“Tessie, you can’t continue avoiding me anytime I ask you to do something that is going to be beneficial for us. Do you think I love when you talk to some other guy apart from me? No, I don’t love it.”“But there’s this saying, if you want to go far in life then you’ll have to sacrifice a lot. It’s best we sacrifice now and enjoy later, okay?” Daryl rose from his seat and locked Tessie in an embrace. When he released her from his grip, she exhaled deeply.With this, she wanted to serve herself another glass of vodka but Daryl took the bottle away from her.“I don’t know why you keep sending me to that dude. He is cold and it makes things difficult for me.” Tessie finally declared.After hearing this, Daryl tucked his hand in his pockets and started roaming around. He did that

    “Darling, can you just go inside? I will meet you when I finish speaking with this young man.” Carlos whispered in the lady’s ears with which he was. His whispers were loud enough for Daryl to hear him.“Darling?!” Daryl questioned himself. Carlos was a married man, what the hell was he still doing with a side chick and to top it off all, he was cheating not far from his house.“Sure, darling.” The lady rehearsed. She kissed him on the jaw before walking in.Meanwhile, Daryl stood blindfolded and patiently waited for Carlos to glare at him before spills out what he had in mind.“I’m quite sorry for speaking to you that way, it's just that I was still fighting to understand why you were accusing me of revealing your secret to Jace.” Daryl mentioned, his voice growing softer. His hands were entwined, proving how sorry he was.“Spare that crap, Daryl. We both know ourselves. I know you very well, and I won’t be surprised to hear you revealed my secret.” Carlos said and threatened to leav

    “I know if you blackmailed me in getting married to you, it simply means you saw something interesting in me. What’s that thing you thought I had? I can maybe work on that. I can do anything just to get that back. You know I don’t want us to separate ourselves.” Jace assembled his hands together so as Amelia could spare him some time.He understood that going the hard way wasn’t going to solve the situation. It was better he spoke to her in the tone she was going to love.“I don’t have all day here, Jace. I have somewhere urgent I am going. And I honestly don’t know why you are trying to fix this. This relationship is over, I don’t know why you are refusing to see this.” Amelia looked into his eyes before harshly declaring. Her eyes were void of emotions.“I know we can fix this. All you have to do is give us a chance. Give us a chance and I promise this is going to work out. I know we can still do this.” Jace insisted, refusing to affirm that they were not on the edge of breaking up.

    Being in her arms, he began widening his eyes. He had still not figured out what he was going to say. He really did not prepare for this.“Hold me tight, don’t let me go.” He continued yelling, this made Amelia tighten her hands again around him.“Common Daryl, you know you can always talk to me. I am here for you, please open up and let’s see if there is anything I can do to help you.” Amelia insisted. At this point, he thought of a similar thing that happened back when they were still in high school.“I want to see my mother. She is the only person who can solve this situation I’m facing.” He continued pretending, causing clammy sweat to sweep down Amelia’s delicate body.“Is this still about your mom?” Amelia paused before continuing her statement, “I thought you were over this already. You can’t continue doing this to yourself, knowing well it can never change the situation.” Amelia said, hoping it could go a long way to reduce his nervousness.This same situation happened to Dar

    “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
