I got home and luckily for me,none of our family members were in the living room. I ran into my room and locked the door.I sat on my bed to shower only to hear Laura's voice."What did you do to my account? Who gave you the right to freeze my account?" She yelled.I heard footsteps on the staircase. I didn't know if the person was ascending or descending."I freezed it. What will you do?" I heard Rosa's voice."Rosa! You are pushing me. You are making me want to do things I don't want to do. if I turn back Rosa I'll bite you." Laura threatened and Rosa laughed."What can a filthy thing like you do?" Rosa spoke."I'm warning you. Unfreeze my account." Laura said."I won't unfreeze it,do whatever you like. By the way,I heard Mr Lionel won't invest anymore in your company anymore." Rosa teased."We will go meet him back. it's just a little misunderstanding. At least I'm better than some people who would like to use their body instead of potentials." Laura said."Thank you. At least I ha
"If you've ever worked on a contract before you'd know the cost of these things and how much every item costs." Rosa said."You still haven't answered the question." I and Laura echoed."Well it's costly because I'd like to sastify the customers. I use the best products." Rosa said and I nodded."What do you think Laura?" I asked her."I feel they are just trying to dupe you. The amount is too bogus. You could get other companies to do it for you and it won't be this cost." She said and Rosa moved to her."You've overstayed your welcome. Get out!" She said."It's my company and I say who stays and who goes. Stop feeling entitled bitch." I said and she opened her mouth."Close it!" I said."You've been awarded the contract. No mistakes. I repeat no mistake." I said and stood up."Sir You gave them the contract?" Phillip asked."Yes,I did. It's my company you know." I said."How about us?" Laura asked."Follow me." I said and went back my office.We all sat down."I'll invest in the com
"Where are you?" My phone beeped and it was a message from Rosa."I'm at work." I sent a message back."Come to the last floor." She sent another message.I can't risk going downstairs like this. My cover must not be blown and there was no casual cloth with me."I'm not at Lionel corporation. I'm at my per time job." I sent a message back and she didn't bother to reply again.I went to my office."Transfer the sum of three million dollars to my stepmother's account." I said and she gasped."From the company's account?" She asked."No,from my account." I said and she nodded. I was hoping she'd ask why but she didn't.I cleared my desk and left to my house. I changed to my casual outfit as usual and went back to the Parks mansion."That stupid woman thinks she can talk to me anyhow and go scot free." My mother in law said as she ate. They were all seated on the dinning. My father in law,mother in law and Rosa."Don't panic mom and don't do anything stupid. She'll soon become my mother i
I slept in the living room and beared the cold. I woke up to a chilly feeling as cold water was poured on me."What's the meaning of this? What if a visitor walks in here?" My father in law yelled.I stood up and clenched my teeth. I was shivering at this point. My mother in law came down too. I didn't know what to do. To greet or be defensive. She was still in her pyjamas meaning time hasn't gone far. I looked at the wall clock and it was just past six."Don't you have manners at all? Can't you greet?" My mother in law yelled."Good morning ma." I bowed."Go and clean this place up. You have an errand to run." She yelled.i took a mop and cleaned the floor. I took a napkin and cleaned the chair too. "I need you to go to Peter Maxwell house. Give him this." She handed a bag to me.I turned to leave."Won't you take transport fare from me? I don't want you to steal my money again." She hissed and threw some dollar bills at me.I picked them and turned to leave again. I turned to the
"Mom! What did I just hear?" Rosa yelled."What?" My mother in law asked,still going through the files in front of her."Ma'am Berlin asked you for money and you didn't give her." Rosa said and I rolled my eyes.My mother in law hissed and ignored."I'm talking to you mom. What are you so cruel? How much did she ask you that you couldn't give her?" Rosa yelled."I don't have money to waste on an ordinary maid." My mother in law said and Rosa scoffed."It's for her daughter's school fees. It's her finals. Why are you so heartless? You even fired her?" Rosa yelled again."Why don't you give her money from your account? You have money too. I didn't fire her,she chose not to come and I'm already looking for a replacement so she shouldn't come back." My mother in law yelled."Fine,I'll give her. All I know is what you did was wrong and Ma'am Berlin would definitely come back here." Rosa said."She won't." My mother in law left the files she was searching for."She would mom. Infact she mus
"I was really scared." Gabriel said."I knew you were scared mere looking at you but you did well." I patted his back."That's their end." Diana smiled."I'm not done with him yet. He has connections,he could bounce back up later,maybe after some years which I don't want. I want him to be runied forever." I explained." That's very good sir. What else do you want to do to him sir?" Gabriel asked."I need to know his friends and make sure they don't help him. The banks too must not lend him money. I also want him homeless. I want him to suffer so much he'll wish he was never born." I sat down on my chair."Woah! I must commend you sir. You are really good at this." Gabriel said.My step mother came into my office. She sat down on the chair and smiled."What do you want ma?" I asked knowing she's either here to fight me or ask for money."I need some money. It's urgent dear and you're the only one I can ask." She smiled."I'm sorry ma. I can't give you money again. You collected three
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
***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
