“Did Jace actually walk out on me? A low life like him thinks he can walk into this house and take himself for the prince? He doesn’t pays the bills here, yet he wants to control everything going on in the house.” Prisca placed her hands on her middle before uttering. His attitude was beginning to piss her off. She had to do something before he gets out of hand.She really did not appreciate the way Jace talked to her before leaving. She was surely going to fish him out and have him apologize to her. Or else he will regret for crossing her path“Hey, come back here.” She said, rushing in to meet him. She thought she had seen it all, only for her to open a room and find Jace laying on it like a little prince. He had earpiece in his ears, the sound of his music was too high making it impossible for him to realized someone had entered the room.Prisca exhaled deeply before calling his name. Unfortunately for her, no response came from him. He was still stuck to his phone and smiling br
He clenched his fist so hard that he could feel the veins around his skull stretching. Just for this act, Prisca was going to pay him with everything she had. He exhaled deeply and walked out of the room. He knew this was certainly the end of his life leaving with the Bradley’s After all that Prisca said about him, he was sure it was enough for them to finally chase him out of their house.In his bargained clothes, he walked out of the house and took himself to the garden and sat there, watching the birds fly in the sky. He wished a life simpler than this. A life where he wouldn’t have to be in love. A life where everyone will be treated equally.Lost in his thoughts, he got back on earth when he heard his phone buzzing. He quickly reached to his Jean and brought it out. Seeing the caller’s name made him adjust in his seat before uttering. “Hello,” He said, his voice growing softer.“I called to inform you that no matter how hard you try to hide things from me, I would still be away.
After Elizabeth left Amelia’s room, she sat on her bed and started going through her novels. Amelia was a reader, but she only loved reading when she was lost. When she was trying to forget the situation at hand. Her novels had all her attention as she had succeeded in diving into another world. It wasn’t long before she heard someone knocking on her door.She began by dropping the novel she had in hand on her bed, and gazed at the door. She just hoped it wasn’t Jace knocking. She was convinced that he didn’t do what Prisca accused him of , but that did still not change the fact that she did not want to set her eyes on him.“Who’s that?” She asked, her voice was harsh and intimidating.“Miss Amelia, I am the one.” The voice responded from the interior. It was Prisca.Her jaws dropped before she stated, “Oh, come in.” Amelia said, her voice was cold and filled with softness.Prisca struggled to open the door since she had a tray containing fruits and coffee in them. Amelia saw this but
“Yes, I’m getting you.” Elizabeth widened her eyes and waited for Prisca to speak up.After a minute of complete silence, Elizabeth rested her shoulders and approached Prisca. Holding her firmly, she whispered. “You shouldn’t worry, okay. Such things are never going to repeat themselves in this house. Now return to what you were doing and have a free mind.” Elizabeth said and walked out.With this, Prisca exhaled heavily , holding her chest. She couldn’t stop imigining what was going to happen to her should in case her boss came to find out that she had told a lie. Her hatred for Jace really made her say things that weren’t appropriate. In the cause of all that, she didn’t know that Amelia knew her husband by heart.After regaining her breath, she proceeded by walking downstairs, heading to the kitchen. It was the only place where she was safe. A place where she won’t have to come in contact with Amelia. She was already ashamed of herself. Getting to the kitchen was not an easy ride
Amelia entered her car and drove to the supermarket. She was trying to renovate her clothes since the Women Impacting Entrepreneur was soon approaching. She didn’t want to be confuse on which dress to wear when that day arrives.Gazing at the different designs the stores had, she heard her phone buzzing right inside her bag. She began to wonder who could be calling her at this time of the day. Without an hesitation, she opened her bag and reached out to her purse, where her phone laid.Looking at the screen, her granny’s name was boldly written on it. There is just one reason why she’ll be calling. It was certainly to ask why she has been avoiding Robert’s calls.“Hello, Granny.” She sighed for about three times before deciding to pick the call. That said, her voice was low and intimidating.“Hello, Amelia Bradley. How are you and how is your day going?” Granny Modella asked, her voice low and seductive.“It’s better if you go straight to the point. I know you didn’t call just to ask
“Here madam, these are the clothes the man asked me to pack for you. Please can you kindly direct me your car so I can free you from some stress.” The sales lady stood in front of Amelia. With a joyful face, she declared vividly.Amelia had her head lowered, the lady’s voice caught her attention as she raised it up and plopped her ocean blue eyes on her. “Don’t bother. I’m not going to make you go through that road. Just give me the clothes and resume to what you were doing.” Amelia said, raising her hand to collect the luxury plastic.The lady wore a million smile on her face before handling the plastic to Amelia. She was mesmerized to see a customer who after spending thousands of dollars, decided to hold her plastic by herself.Usualky, people who shop there won’t even want to touch the plastics. They prefer the sales lady go through that stress for them. With this, Amelia gazed at the plastic for about three seconds before grabbing it. She was surely asking herself if what she
Ding!A harsh knock came from the door. Prisca wasn’t far when she heard that. With her light skin, she rushed to check on who was brutally knocking. She didn’t even finish opening when Elsy pushed her and entered by herself.“Woh madam Elsy, you always knocked me down.” She whispered. Unfortunately for her, Elsy had taken the stairs already.On reaching Amelia’s room, she didn’t knock. She brutally opened the door, before she could enter, she collided with Jace who was walking out. “Damn, don’t rub your stinking body on my expensive wear. Get out of my way, fucking idiot.” She pushed him out and entered the room.Amelia who was busily folding the dresses Carlos got for her turned only to be faced with Elsy’s angry face.“What the hell are you doing in my…”Slap!Before Amelia could complete her sentence, she received a resounding slap from Elsy. It was well loaded, rendering her hair disheveled. With panic in her eyes, she held the hitted side with her palms before reciprocating the
Carlos cross passed Jace and held Elsy’s hand. He began dragging her out. For a moment she allowed him to control her. But when she could no longer take it, she released her hand from his grip.“Let go off me, now. You idiot. Why did you even follow me till here? You came to support your mistress not so? But let me remind you, you will have to pass over my head before having her.” She mentioned vividly.Amelia was still breathing heavily. After a while she finally opened her mouth and uttered, “You better get this thing you call a wife out of my room. I ain’t going to tolerate her nasty behavior.” “Me, having a nasty behavior? Do you even know to whom you are talking? Who here has s nasty behavior? If not thst have been holding this idiot here very well, I’m sure you will have seduced him.” Elsy said, threatening to come back for a fight.Carlos had struggled till Elsy left Amelia’s room. It’s that this minute that Granny Modella walked in. She passed through the house to pick up Am
“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
