After some minutes,my phone started buzzing and it was a call from my dad. I ignored at first then I picked it up later."Hi." I spoke."What's the meaning of what I just heard? What are you trying to do? Are you trying to ruin me?" He yelled over the phone."What did I do?" I said calmly."Are you seriously asking me that?" He yelled again and I rolled my eyes."Just tell me." I pretended not to know what he was talking about."What did you do to Mr Desile? Is this your plan? Is this the kind of revenge you want?" He yelled and i hung the call.He called again and I picked."What is it?" I yelled."You hung the call on me. Is that how you present yourself when you want to meet a billion dollar investestor?" He yelled."I'm coming home dad. I'm coming." I said and hung the call again.I arranged the files on my table neatly and closed my laptop."Are you going now sir?" She asked."Shift my other appointments to tomorrow. I'm going home." I ordered and left. I went downstairs and atte
The restaurant was a three story building.The restaurant windows were transparent so I'd seen whatever goes in and out. The doors too were transparent. I could see people who were inside eating and enjoying their meals.They all went in and sat at different tables. Some went upstairs and I couldn't see them.I saw them place orders but I couldn't hear what was going on.*****Gabriel's pov******I went in with one of the maids. I wasn't familar with her because we've never talked before and I didn't like talking to people so it was a little bit weird for me. The menu was brought by one of the workers who was cladded in a black trouser and a white shirt with a small apron.I ordered some food I couldn't even pronounce myself. I just pointed at it and he brought it. It looked so irritating."All these rich people food." I said to myself.The maid girl started eating it and I was shocked. I started eating it so I won't feel embarrassed and feel lesser than her.She pulled her black silk
"Roberto Lionel? How can you be? When I saw you,you wrecked of poverty." He said as he struggled with the police officer. He was taken away and locked up.We went back home in different cars and different time so we won't be suspected. I got home first and sat at the sitting room,waiting for them to come in. After a while,they drove in at different times and when we were complete it thanked them."Thank you guys so much. I really appreciate what you did today. You'd be paid ransomly." I said. "There's no need to pay us sir. We just did it for you." Alice spoke and they all nodded in agreement. "I'll still pay. I love what you guys did today. It made me happy." I said as I removed my face cap. "There's no need sir. Honestly,it was fun and we all got to eat expensive food." Another maid said. "I insist." I said and they smiled."You all can take tomorrow off." I said and they left happily except Gabriel. "Aren't you leaving?" I asked."If everyone leaves who'd stay with you?" He as
We were beaten mercilessly. I was bleeding and most of the time I covered Diego. He tried to cover and protect me from getting beaten too but I overpowered him. I got more beatings than him and they locked us up in the cage with the dogs. The full moon shone brightly which gave us light.I was cold and tired. I felt molested and angry."Are you just going to take this suffering? Is this how they treat you everyday?" He cried."Yes. The reason why I'm here is for my revenge." I said and he rolled his eyes."What kind of revenge are you planning? Aunt Rosa just told you she married you because she wanted to be CEO,not that she loved you." He asked."Just wait and watch. Whenever I need your help I'll tell you." I said and he nodded."We need to get treated first. I hope I haven't broken my bone." He said and I scoffed."Just don't come to this house again and don't tell mother any of this." I warned and he nodded."Why? I'm going to tell my mother." He argued."You can't. You know how m
"You want to invest two billion dollars? That's huge." He said."Well,do you want me to invest or not? Time is money and I must be on my way now." I checked my wristwatch and showed it off too. His eyes caught my wristwatch and he smiled."Y yes I'll love to. That's nice. Interesting. Mind blowing." He said."My lawyer is here. It's better you call yours too so we can settle this once and for all." I said and he stood up immediately.He took his phone from his desk and called his lawyer. His lawyer came in some moments later and documents were signed.We shook hands and took pictures."What do you tend to gain from this sir?" Diana asked when we got into the car after escaping the journalists we're were waiting outside. Only God knows how they got to know I was here,maybe Phillips called them."You'll soon find out." I smiled and Gabriel drove back home.I sat on the chair immediately we got home. I pulled my jacket off and heaved a sigh."I'm so tired." I said and rubbed my warm for
"How dare you slap my husband? Am I the one who asked you to marry a low life?" Laura screamed after they've been seperated."It's none of your business." Rosa screamed and readjusted her hair."It's not my business but now you're desperate to find a rich man by force. What happened to your ex boyfriend,CEO of Burberry? Isn't he rich enough?" Laura yelled and Phillips chuckled."Now she wants Roberto Lionel." He said and I laughed and they diverted their attention to me."Why are you laughing?" My mother in law asked."Nothing ma. I'm sorry." I apologized immediately and they continued with their fight."Whatever I do with my life is none of your business. I'm the only one who upholds this family and it's name." Rosa said."I'm not going to reject that investment. it's official and that's is. What do you want from me? I was the legal heir to Park corporation but I dropped that for you and now you want more from me." Laura yelled."Yes,I'm selfish. I want more from you and if I don't g
I finished mopping the floor and came back with another water to wash Kess's leg and Rosa's leg. I finished on time and left the living room to bath. I finished bathing and Rosa came to meet me."What's the meaning of the rubbish you just did downstairs?" She yelled."What did I do? I just put your friend in her place that's all." I said and I buttoned my shirt."You are messing with me. Roberto if you're not careful I'll hurt you badly. Don't talk to my friends like that. They are not in your level." She threatened.I laid on the bed and covered myself with a blanket."Get off my bed." She yelled and I stood up obdiently and slept on the couch in the room.It was uncomfortable but I had to manage.I slept off and woke the next morning. I did my daily routine and surprisingly Rosa was still fast asleep. I went out and went to my mansion. I changed as usual and drove to my company.I was greeted my loads of work and files needed to be checked. I had to give the Parks the contract since
Gabriel drove me to my house and everyone had resumed back. The dinning was set and I was surprised when I got in."Welcome sir and thanks for the off." They all echoed and I smiled."You're welcome." I said and went to my room. Diego had left. I called him and he picked up immediately. "Hi. When did you leave?" I asked."This afternoon. I was bored." He said and I laughed."It's all good. My regards to mom. Tell her I'd come visit soon,I've been busy." "Okay.""If you need anything,I'm just one call away." I said."Sure brother. Take care and rest well." He said and I hung the call. I showered and changed into my pyjamas. I wasn't going to go to the Parks mansion today. I've had enough of the drama. I knew there would be another commotion in the house. I went to the dinning and ate. I finished and retired to the siiting room where I was watching TV. The drama that had happened in my office was shown on TV again and I smiled at my little achievement. My phone rang and it was my
***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
