“I am done, let’s go.” Amelia interrupted the meeting that was going on between Jace and Prisca. The two adults turned and their mouths were widely opened. They had never seen such a beauty.Prisca began by bowing her head, “Madam Amelia, you look gorgeous. This is the first time I’m seeing you in such a beautiful outfit. You really did well for yourself. Well done madam.” She bowed her head again before uttering.Prisca had surely learned the hard way. Her term ‘Madam’ caused Jace to turn his direction towards Prisca and see what was going on. He was sure Amelia had surely stopped her from using the name Miss anytime she wanted to address her.“Thank you so much, Prisca. Jace here got it for me.” Her face lighten up in a smile before she mentioned.This alone caused Prisca to widen her eyes at her boss before grasping for air. “Did you really get this outfit for madam Amelia?” Prisca turned and questioned Jace as if she didn’t hear what he just said. “I’m sure you heard my wife. You
Mc“It’s 8 pm, and we are about to commence with the celebration. We would love to first all celebrate those who were nominated. Regardless of who wins tonight, you are all winners.” With a million smile, the MC addressed the public. “For those who got nominated for the first time, I will like to applaud you all. You know, it isn’t a child’s play when you are qualified with the big fish. Can you all clap for yourselves.” The Mc added, which caused the crowd to cheer up. Though Amelia was amongst the first time nominees, she didn’t clap for herself. She just smiled and watched people clap by her side. One person who didn’t stop staring and clapping for her was Jace. He did show how excited he was and how proud he was for her.“Tonight, I believe you will win one of the trophies.” Jace leaned and whispered in her ears.She didn’t say a word. She just continued smiling as always. Jace didn’t take this, so he again leaned and said, “If you want this to be the case, then you have to cla
Amelia and Jace both walked on stage and received the price of the women impacting entrepreneur. After her little speech, it was left just five minutes till the end of the party. People had now being walking out as it was almost the end of the ceremony.“Congratulations Amelia.” Blake said behind her. She turned only to be faced with him. She began by breathing profusely before answering him.“Thank you…” She started talking.“I think you are here because of Robert, I can see him moving out of the hall, why don’t you follow him?” Amelia lowered her head down before speaking. With everything that had happened between them in the past, raising her head was surely going to cause her a lot.“You are right, he asked me to follow him to this occasion, but I swear that once I saw you walking in that royal blue gown, I could no longer control myself. You look so gorgeous. I thought of telling you.” Blake loosely folded his arms behind his back before uttering.“Thank you, so much.” With her h
“Granny, are you going to mind your business, or you will continue poking your mouth in my affairs?” Amelia took a deep breath before continuing with what she had in mind. She really did have to take a deep breath because what she had prepared was really not going to suit her grandma.“I guess have listened enough to you. I won’t tolerate you or anyone telling me what I am supposed to do with my life, okay?” With a stern face, Amelia mentioned. Thinking that was enough, she started counting her steps .“Hey, come back here, young lady.” Granny Modella said with so much authoritative was that caused Amelia to halt in her tract.Even though she has stopped walking and was now facing her grandma. There was still enough distance. Modella took it upon herself to close the space as she started directing herself towards Amelia. “Who or rather what have you the effrontery to use that tone on me? Do you realize I am your mother’s mother? Meaning you are answerable to me.” Granny Modella hit he
“I… I…” Daryl started his speech but was unable to complete it. Damian’s secretary harshly spoke which made him to construct a phrase without stammering.“Good morning miss, I have being trying to reach to your team for some months now but no one was picking my calls.” Daryl paused, waiting for the lady to respond before he continuous with his speech.The lady didn’t utter a word, she just heaved heavily before answering to his question. “You’ve still not said what you have in mind. Or… is that you reason why you decided to call us at this time of the day? If there is nothing we can do for you, then I’m going to be forced to turn down the call.” She harshly stated, which prompted Daryl to panic in his trousers.“I noticed you stopped sponsoring the project. Is there anything my company did wrong?” Daryl proceeded to ask. He gritted his teeth after this“You didn’t inform me on anything. That’s not how it’s supposed to be done.” He again added, thinking his statement was going to make
Reaching the office, Angelo didn’t have a lot to do. He had a meeting with some board of directors from other companies, requesting for a collaboration. Well, when Angelo received the file, he didn’t know know what to do at first.He didn’t have enough time to discuss it with Jace because by then, he was struggling to arrange the issue he had with his wife. He was not even regular at work, because of that. Well, it turned out that his sacrifices did pay. If he was able to transfer from the visitor’s room to his matrimonial room, it means his efforts didn’t go down the water.On days when Angelo came alone, Alma would rush to go collect his suit case and follow him to his office, after deposing it on his desk, she won’t leave until he scoffs, or makes a loud sound.This nasty attitude of hers sent his adrenaline pumping with huge pressure because he didn’t like her. He didn’t even want to be close to her. If not that his boss asked him to keep her very close, she would have been the f
Two hours passed and Angelo left for the meeting. Before that, he had taken directions from Jace on how to tackle the affair. With the help of the other directors, he did have a nice encounter with the people.Fifty minutes passed and it was the end of the meeting. They all shook hands and proceeded to leave the hall. During this period, Jace advanced himself and entered the Bentley, waiting for Angelo. Once he entered, they sped off. He stopped at the supermarket to get stuff he was going to prepare for Amelia. They did patrol the environment together till Angelo spoke up when they crossed the section for Sphagetti.“Young master, won’t she love to eat spaghetti? Sorry for the question, but I’m just asking because lots of young ladies would settle for Spaghetti.” Angelo said, waiting for his boss’ point of view.Jace turned and glared at him. “Thanks for your concern, but my wife isn’t much into spaghetti. She prefers traditional dishes compared to all these stuff.” Jace said before
“That’s not what I said Sir, just that I thought you will want me to spend some time with you.” Alma carressed her low bun seductively before saying.Angelo took a deep breath before saying. He did have to calm himself or else he was going to mess up. “Alma, you have work tomorrow. I can’t permit you to stay in my house till this time of the day. It’s getting late and you have to prepare yourself for tomorrow. Maybe some other time.”“Sir…” “No sir here, young lady. My guard will see you through.” After stating, Angelo turned his back and began directing himself to the kitchen. It didn’t take long until he heard her footsteps behind him.“Sir, I saw your driver cooking food in your kitchen… I’m just curious. Is it that you don’t have maids or… you know I can gladly prepare your meal for you if only you give me the chance.”Angelo turned and was surprised to hear her say that. Why would she even mention all these things she was saying? He first carefully gazed at her, took his time an
“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
