She raised her hand to slap me but I caught her hand and held it tightly."Don't mess with a Lionel. You started it first and I gave you your share." I said and flung her hand away.I walked away and heard her yelling."You good for nothing boy. I'll deal with you. I'll kill you." She cried.I got into my car and my driver zoomed.I got home and changed to my causual clothes before I finally went to the Parks mansion. I entered and Rosa was still searching for the file."Just focus Rosa. Let's make another one." My mother in law said as she was sweating profusely even when the air conditioner was on."We could still find it. Do you know the stress and the amount of time we'd use to write another one?" Rosa said."I know but we have no choice. Let's just start now. We could meet the deadline." My mother in law said.She looked up and saw me tiptoing."You lack manners. You lack all the basic qualities in life. Manners,you don't have. Money,you've failed in that aspect, handsome,you ar
"We are sorry sir. Please forgive us. We won't fight again in the company." My mother in law held my father's hand and begged."It's fine." My dad said after grunting.They left and we went back to the office."Why did you give them the contract?" Are they not the Parks?" My dad asked."You didn't even let me sit first." I said."Sit and tell me. I thought you wanted revenge on them? I don't understand you anymore." My dad said and he furrowed his eye brows."I'm going to take my revenge on them but it would be slow and deadly. All these are just foreplay." I smiled."It better be. How would you take revenge when you are giving them contract? You are empowering them if you don't know. By the way have you heard anything from the guy you crumbled his company?" He asked."You mean Troy?" I asked."Whatever his name is. I don't care. Any news about him?" He asked."Which question should I answer first?" I stared at him."All." He shifted his weight on the chair."Just leave I and the Park
I have pictures of your daughters wedding."Should I show it around or you'll say the truth?" She asked."Why are you doing this? What would you gain from this? I told you he is not my husband so what's your stress?" Rosa yelled."Show us Patricia. I'm a board member of Parks corporation if this is true Rosa must step down as CEO." Another man cladded in blue suit spoke.The woman brought out her phone from her purse. She scrolled through her phone and everyone was waiting, anticipating.I was sure the Parks were waiting for something bad to happen. Like her phone falling from her hand or the photos not in her phone anymore or someone stopping the event. Nothing of that happened."Ahah!" The woman showed everyone her phone and everyone gasped."They are liars and cheats. They do not belong to this society. I want them kicked out." Ma'am Patricia yelled."Fine. You all got me. I lied. It's embarrassing of someone of my calibre married to that thing " Rosa pointed at me."That thing is
"What else do you want to do now sir?" Gabriel asked."Did you bring a car?" I asked him.He nodded and looked confused as to what I wanted to use the car for."Keys?" I asked and he handed the key over to me.I waited for Troy to leave the compound before I struck. I got into my blue Lamborghini and hopped into the driver's seated. I fastened my seat belt and ignited the car. I drove at a full speed aiming to hit Troy but he excaped it as he turned back and ran away from the spot before I got to him. The car screeched as I tried to stop and I hit the mail box which collapsed making a loud thud."Do you want to kill me? Are you mad?" Troy yelled and came to my door. He tried opening it but it was locked."Come out you bastard. What kind of driving school did you attend? Do you want me dead?" He yelled.I removed my seat belt and unlocked the car. I came down and he held me by the collar."What do you want from me? Why do you want me dead?" He yelled.I pushed his hands off my collar.
I used my nose masks and walked briskly into the saloon and searched for Kess but she was not in there. I sighted because I was dissappointed."So much for a loser." I said.We were about to step out when Kess walked in angrily. I spotted her because of her shiny outfit. She wore a purple mini skirt and a black sleeveless top."Time to act Gabriel. I need you to flirt with her and make her come to the club." I faced Gabriel."Sir. I can't. I've not done this before." He answered."What kind of life are you living man." I pushed him and he bumped into her."I'm so sorry." He apologized."It's okay." She said and walked away.Gabriel walked behind her.She sat on an empty chair and an hairdresser came to her. "Welcome ma'am. What would you like to do to your hair today?" She asked."Anything. Just do anything. I'm tired and frustrated now." She sighed."Why are you so tired my lady." Gabriel said and she recognized him."Aren't you Mr Roberto Lionel?" She asked as she scrutinized he
Gabriel drove home and I went to my room to test all the clothes I just got. After all the whinings I ended up wearing a plain t shirt,blue denim jeans and white sneakers. I came out and Gabriel was wearing a Polo t shirt,trousers and loafers and Diana was wearing a crop top,a cargo pants and boots. Her makeup was nude and simple. Not too much. "Wow! You both look better than me." I pouted as I looked at my outfit again. "You look good sir. Yours is better." Diana said."Don't cajole me. Let's just go." I said and we went out. "You still haven't told us your plan sir." Diana said and I eyed her."You'll know when we get there." I said.Gabriel drove to the club and I told him my plan."When we get there you'll drop this in her drink." I said and I handed over a pill to Gabriel. "What's this sir? Would she die?" He asked."Nope. She'd just hallucinate. I need you to do the job skillfully then I'll take over. She can't die now." I said and he nodded. "Okay sir." He said."Diana you
I danced and had fun together with Gabriel and Diana. We went home wasted. I was even amazed at how Gabriel drove the car skillfully without crashing or having any accident.I got home and slept on the bed.I rubbed my sleepy eyes as the sun shines into my eyes. The breeze pushed the curtains which paved way for it to pass.I stood up and saw Diana and Gabriel on the floor still sleeping.I went in and brushed my teeth and took my bath and changed into comfortable clothes. My head was banging seriously so I took another nap.I woke up when I heard some rustlings and some footstep. I yawned loudly and stretched."Good evening sir." Diana said and I chuckled."Evening indeed. You must still be drunk to think we are in the evening." I said and she checked her phone."It's four thirty sir." She said and I checked my phone.My eye widened seeing the number of missed calls and messages I had received."I hope I haven't missed it." I said."Missed what sir?" I heard Gabriel's voice."Never
"What do you want?" I asked."Why did you freeze my account?" She yelled in my face,some saliva touched my skin as she spoke."Freeze your account? I know nothing of such." I said and looked at Diana."Don't lie to me. I know you did it. I thought we could actually become friends and be peaceful but you've shown you're just a trash." She yelled."I didn't freeze your account. Go ask your husband." I said and continued walking.She smacked me from behind. It stinged."Ouch! What was that for?" I exclaimed."Unfreeze my account now before I get very petty." She yelled."Stop this drama. People are watching. Why must you spoil the Lionel name everyday?" I yelled and she smiled."You want to see how crazy I can get huh?" She smirked evily and placed her bag on the receptionist table. She brought out a long black belt and folded it into two."Oh no!" I yelled as I ran away. Gabriel tried to catch her but he couldn't."How can an old woman be this fast?" I asked myself as I was dodging her.
***Rosa's pov***Getting to the hospital,mom was rushed into the ward and was attended to immediately. Dad was pacing to and fro scared of what the doctor would come and say. "Nothing much happen to her." I said."I know and I regret pushing her. It was a mistake." He bit his upper lip.Few minutes later,the doctor came to meet us."Are you her husband sir?" He asked and my dad nodded."Let's talk privately."I held my dad's hand."You talk here. I'm her daughter and he was the one who caused this in the first place." I glared at him."Shut it Rosa! It was a mistake." He corrected. "Well,she has stroke now. A side of her brain was affected so the left side of her body is paralyzed." He announced."What? Look at what you did to her?" I yelled. I wanted to hit him but we were in public."Will she be fine?" I asked."Maybe. It's a 50_50%. She could get better or worse." He said and I shaked my head."I hope she'll be alright. Even though I and my mom quarrel a lot,I wouldn't want her
***Roberto's pov***"What's my business with Roberto? What sort of madness is this?" Her screamed echoed in the room."You threatened you'd do something to Gabriel. Well we can't find him." I yelled back throwing my hands in the air dramatically."I was just joking. It was just a threat. Why would I kidnap Gabriel? What use would it be for me?" She dropped her spoon."Son! That accusation is just too much. Have you reported to the police?" I eyed him and he cleared his throat."I know you'll always support her. You've been blinded by her. I'll leave and I'm going straight to the station. If I find out she has a hand in this,I'll make sure she rots in jail." I said and was about to leave when my father held my arm."And if she's not guilty what would you do? I've told you to stop accusing her for whatever thing that happens to you. You're the one who's blinded by your ego and your sadistic thoughts. Why would Gabriel get missing and the first person you think of is your step mom?"I ya
***Rosa's pov***"Where? How? How did you find them? Tell me!" I demanded."Calm down. I only got to know the location. Besides we can't go get them. It would be too dangerous." She said and I hissed."Just give me the address and I'll do the rest myself." "Just be careful. Mr Roberto's security is always tight and if he finds out you're the one,you're a goner." She said and i laughed."If I'm a goner then you'll be what? Just send me the address and spare me the cock and bull story." I said and dropped the call.Minutes later,I got a message from Diana. The address of where Laura kids are is with me. I can finally get what I want from Laura.I can't wait to control all of these properties. I stood up and turned around,taking a view of my room.Can't wait to see the look on my father's face when I snatch all of his properties from him.The only problem I have now is to hire some men to help me get those children. What do I even need them for? All I need is a video of them,just to con
***Gabriel's pov***I sneaked out of the office knowing Mr Roberto wouldn't need me soon. I received t a call an unknown number asking me to come meet at the hospital where Alice's father has been hospitalized. I got there and it was Christian,Alice's younger brother. He raised his hand,signalling me to come in."Why would he call me here considering the fact that he hates me so much." I asked myself. We've even beaten each other once.He placed his hand on my shoulder."Hey bro." He said and started walking out of the hospital. "What's going on? Where are we headed?" I asked but he smiled.I should tell you but Alice would kill me if I utter a single word."I've told Alice I'm no longer interested in this relationship. Why would she try to surprise me?" I yelled."Just calm down. I know my family has hurt you in so many ways. Just take this as a sorry." He smiled and opened the car for me. The bodyguards standing outside cladded in all black suits were just so intimidating. I'm a bo
***Diana's pov***I get he wants to take his revenge but this is just evil. How could he separate those children from their mother? How could he do such a thing to them? I wonder how those kids would feel like now. I clenched my fist as I walked towards them."Diana! Where have you been? Couldn't go on lunch break because of you. We were supposed to work on this together." Olivia banged the file on the table. i could see the happiness in her eyes."Quit lying. You never asked me to work on any file with you. If you want Mr Roberto to like you,you're doing a great job." I folded my arms."What's wrong with you? Don't you know you're in the office? I told you I don't want any personal shit here?" He yelled at me.I wanted to defend myself but he spoke over me."I'm not interested in you. I don't like you. I'm only keeping you here because you've been of great help. This is the last straw Diana,the next one will be the end." He said and walked out of the office.I felt hurt. I felt a ver
***Rosa's pov***"Let's meet at Deemarks restaurant by two." I said."Sure. Please make it on time. I've got lots of work to do." She replied and i nodded as if she could see me.I dropped the call and raised my clenched fist up in the air. "Yes. Finally something to take Roberto down. I want him to beg at my feet. I want him to beg for mercy." I smiled as the thought of me ruining Roberto made me smile.I couldn't wait to hear what she has to say. I left all the things I was doing and rushed to the restaurant. I sat down and the waitress handed the menu over to me.I glanced at the menu as they had lots of good food and drinks but my mind kept pondering,thinking of the good news Diana has to give me. The restaurant looked every nice. Nice artworks hanging on the wall,comfy chairs which were arranged in rows,good lightening and great customer care.I kept tapping my left foot against the floor,anxious and nervous at the same time,checking the entrance to see if Diana was approaching
***Cynthia's pov***"The issue must have died down. I'm going out." I eyed Rosa."Mum? I'm telling you people don't forget things like this. Don't go out. It's dangerous and it can affect stocks and shares at the company. The corporation is at the verge of dying." She begged."What's your business? I need to go for shopping. It's very important." I yelled as i walked out on her. I got into the car and drove off to the mall. I got down and I saw the glances and murmuring. I waved it off thinking it wasn't that much. I locked the car and took a few steps and people started taking my pictures and laughing at me.Soon it became like a protest,they started calling me names like slut,pig etc and I was embarrassed.I ran back to my car with so much difficulty as some people decided to be violent and started hitting me.I got to my car and drove back home. I got into the compound and my body was red and swollen. They all hurt. Sone were itchy while some were burning."Didn't I warn you?" Ro
***Roberto's pov***After the clash with my dad,I've been keeping tabs on my stepmother. I just need to find something to use on her. Anything!Diana has been behaving strange especially with Olivia. I know she had told me countless times how much she loves me but I don't need a distraction and that doesn't mean she should hate on Olivia.If not for the friendship between us and how she stood by me when I had nobody I would have sacked her. I hate how unprofessional she's been."Sir! Meeting in five minutes. The members are here sir." Olivia informed. I searched around for Diana but she was no where to be found.This is what she's supposed to be doing but she's busy grumbling and acting jealous. Olivia has been the one doing all of the work.After the meeting,I went to my office to rest and Gabriel walked in."What is it again?" I asked them yawned."I just want to talk about Diana sir." He said and I turned to face him."If it's about her loving me please just forget about it. I'm so
***Rosa's pov***Watching mom try to make dad fall in with with her again was so annoying to watching. It made me cringe whenever she tried to seduce him. When I say seduce,I mean her using old stupid tricks like throwing the remote on the floor and bending to pick it while wearing a short seductive dress,I mean that's so disgusting considering they are your parent."Just get the fuck away from me. I'm trying to watch tv." My dad yelled as he left the living room."Wait up Daniel. I know you want this. Don't be shy." Mom said and she ran towards him.This is so embarrassing. I know she doesn't love him. She just wants him to change his mind against the divorce.All I want is for mom to steal shares or the company. That's all I want. I need to see Laura. She knows all of dad's password. If I can blackmail her with something or threaten her,she can tell me."What can I blackmail her with? She's in jail. Shes got nothing else to lose anymore." I bit my lower lip as I paced round the room
