"It's okay mom. I'm fine." I said.
"Diego! I promise,you'll live a good life." She said.We released the hug and she took my hand and placed it in my dad's hand."Nothing must happen to my son. Audrey must not harm him or else?" My mom threatened and honestly I was scared at the way she glared at him."I promise. Nothing would happen to him." He said."Who's Audrey? Step sister?" Diego asked."Step mother." My dad answered."Oh Brother Roberto. I heard step moms are dangerous. Be careful. Don't eat her food,don't cross her path, don't follow her anywhere." He said and he marked each point with his fingers."I'll be careful. Mom! Would you accept dad's money now?" I asked and she nodded slowly.
My dad handed the black card over to me. "I'm sorry Grace. I promise I'll make it up to you." My dad said and my mom nodded again."I have to go back home now." I said and my mom hugged me tightly. "Be careful son." She whispered in my ear.After convincing my dad not to drop me home,I got home past seven. Luckily for me,there was nobody downstairs. I walked into my room to quickly take off the clothes I was wearing but my wife was sitting on the bed. There was no files she was working on neither was there laptop. She was holding her phone tightly in her hand.
She saw me and ran to hug me immediately.
"Where have you been since yesterday? I've called several times but you didn't pick."It was then I spotted my phone on the table.
"I'm sorry. I forgot it here." I answered and she hugged me tightly again."I was already beginning to feel scared. I called Diego,he didn't pick. He ignored my texts too." She explained."I'm sorry. I was spending time with mom." I lied."How is she? Is she fine now? I'm sorry I couldn't come see her. I was busy in the office." She said."it's okay. I understand." I kissed her soft lips and she claimed mine.She released my lips and chuckled. "i miss you so much." "I miss you more baby." She helped me remove my neck tie and my clothes till it remained my boxer shorts."I need you baby." She whispered as she tried to take off my boxers."Let me take my bath." I said and she scoffed.
"Really?" I nodded and ran into the bathroom. She banged on the door several times."I'm in the mood Roberto." She yelled and I continued bathing.I finished and wrapped a white towel around my waist and came out of the bathroom. She attacked me and starting kissing me as her hand explored my neck down to my perfectly tanned abs. I carried her and took her to the bed. I placed her on the bed gently and climbed on top of her.
I kissed her passionately and my tongue explored her mouth and I enjoyed how she moaned. I kissed her ear down to her neck. I sucked her skin and took off her clothes piece by piece. I was about to go into her folds when my mother in law barged without knocking.
Thank God for the blankets covering us."Roberto!" She yelled.I quickly climbed down from her and laid on the bed."Yes ma." I answered sharply as I was breathing heavily."Come I need to show you something." She said."I'm coming ma. I'll just put on some clothes." I said." I said come now." She glared at me."I'm not wearing anything." I begged."I'll be waiting outside. Two minutes." She warned and banged the door against the hinges.I stood up and quickly put on my blue pyjamas.
" Let's just finish quickly." Rosa said."Later." I wore my slippers and rushed outside. My mother in law closed the door and dragged me downstairs with my ear."Ouch! What have I done this time?" I asked.She took me to her room and my father in law was seated as if he was waiting for me to walk in."What do you think you're doing?" My father in law asked.
I was confused. "What did I do sir?" I asked and my father in law punched me in the face. I fell down and my nose broke. Blood tickled down my nose to the floor."Were you just trying to have sex with my daughter? Do you want to get her pregnant?" My father in law asked."She's my wife sir and I have every right to do so." He punched me in the face again and I staggered but I didn't fall this time. My lips bursted and I tasted blood in my mouth."Do you want her to get pregnant? Do you want her to give birth to a wench like you?" My mother in law yelled.
"Let me warn you. You are just here temporarily. I know you brainwashed her. My daughter would soon come back to her senses and go back to Mark but until then maintain your lane and behave." My father in law yelled and I nodded.I wanted to cry but I held it in. " I don't even have the right to touch my wife again. What kind of life is this? What have I done to deserve this?" I asked myself."Can't you hear?" My mother in law tapped the back of my head bringing me back to reality."Leave now and don't you dare tell Rosa what happened here." My father in law threatened and I left the room.
I went back to my room and Rosa was fast asleep. She was snoring. Her beautiful face made my heart skip a beat and I smiled
"I love you. I love you so much." I whispered and kissed her forehead.I went to the bathroom and washed the blood off my face. I winced in pain as the cold water hit my skin. I finished quickly and went to bed so Rosa wouldn't know. I covered my face with the blanket and slept off.
********I was woken up by Rosa the next morning. She was trying to give me a goodbye kiss as usual but I couldn't let her see my face. "What would I tell her happened to me?" I asked myself.After sturggling for a while she yelled. "Don't you want to see my face?" "It's not like that. I really want to sleep." I lied."Just one kiss." She begged.I moved the blanket from my face a little,revealing just my forehead."Go ahead." I said"Seriously. We couldn't have sex last night and now you're denying me of kissing you." She said."I look hideous babe. Just kiss my forehead and go." I said and she left angrily.I couldn't go after because of the injury on my face. I felt bad.I heaved a sigh. "That's it." I stood up and looked at myself in the mirror. My nose and lips had injury and I looked hideous."There's no way I can present myself to my dad's board of members like this." I said to myself.I picked up my phone on the bed and called my dad."Hey Dad. Good morning." I greeted"Good morning son." His voice sounded low,like he just woke up."Did I just wake you up?" I asked,worried."Hmm." He grunted."I'm sorry. I'll call back then." I implied."There's no need for that. Just say whatever you want to." He said,his voice sounded better as he spoke."I won't be able to come to sign today dad." I said and he didn't speak."Dad! Dad!! Can you hear me?" I asked but I heard nothing. I removed the phone against my ear to check if the call was still ongoing but it was."It's okay." He said in a very low tone that I couldn't have heard if I wasn't paying attention."Dad!Please try to understand I just..." I couldn't finish my statement when I heard my phone beep.
They all arrived and the room was filled to the brim. I started sweating profusely even when all the air conditioners were turned on. My legs were shaking. My dad held my leg firmly and nodded his head. It seemed to have a little effect on me. My dad tried to stand up but I stood up before him and made him sit down back comfortably. "You can't stand now." I whispered in his ear. He cleared his throat before starting."I Raymond Lionel would be stepping down from my position as the CEO of Lionel corporation. Of all my thirty three branches worldwide would now be controlled by my son,Roberto Lionel." He tapped my shoulder.Everybody was shocked."Your son. I thought you never had a child." A woman with well polished nails said abruptly as she pushed her hair backward with her left hand."This is absurd. Did you just pick a child on the street to put as a CEO?" A fat man asked. His voice was very deep and he was bald and pale."That's nonsense." My dad hit the table and stood up. He fel
"Take the cups to the kitchen." I heard my mother in law voice and I pushed Grachi away gently."Didn't he answer when you called him?" My mother asked,ready to hit me again."He didn't answer ma. I've been arguing with him since. He even went to bath." She lied."Imagine. You are lazy and poor. How do you want to make it in life? I wonder what my Rosa saw in you." She yelled."I'm not a low life ma." I said and scoffed."Then what are you? A poverty striken person.I walked away from where she was standing to my wardrobe "Come downstairs when you're done. We have some visitors and you have work to do." She ordered and left with Grachi.I hissed when they left. I dressed casually and walked downstairs."Come here." My mother in law yelled as she spotted me coming down the stairs. There were some people in the sitting room. Two old people of the opposite gender and some kids. "I'm here ma." I said."Is that Rosa husband?" The old woman asked."Yes ma. I'm Roberto. Her husband." I an
I picked a random file that was heaped on my table. From my calculations,there have been series of corruption and manipulations occuring more than once with the same signature,approving the downgrading act. It was my step mother's,Audrey. "I'll get to the bottom of it too." I said to myself when a woman barged into my office with my secetary trying to catch up with her.She knelt on the floor. Her clothes were soacked with sweat and as I moved closer I was greeted by a foul smell. I tried to see her face but she bowed and her hair covered her face."Who are you and what do you want?" I asked as I rested on the neck of another chair."I'm sorry sir. I'm sorry for what I did the other day. I didn't know." She apologized without raising her head."How will I know who you are when you won't raise your head? I have many foes you know." I joked."It's me. The woman who insulted you at Lionel shopping mall." She raised her head slowing and the familar face greeted me. I'd remember her face
"Those are just your bodyguards sir." He answered and I was relieved."I thought my stepmother had paid some assasins to kill me." I said to myself.He took a sharp corner into my street and I stopped him."Will you excuse me please." I said and he alighted from the car.I took my clothes I had folded neatly and changed into them. I came down and my driver was shocked."You all can go now. Pick me here tomorrow, 8AM sharp." I ordered and left before he could say anything else. I spotted the white mansion again and took a picture of it on my phone. I sent it to Diana and asked her to negotiate. I wanted to buy the house. I'll be changing here everyday instead of changing in the car. I walked into the Parks mansion and I could feel the intense air. I said the Lord's prayer then entered. The whole family was here. My mother in law,father in law, their first daughter and her kids with her husband and my wife. There were planning something. "Here comes the loser in the family." Laura, R
"Good morning sir." He greeted as he dragged his feet on the tiled floor bowing. He was holding a files with his two hands."Good morning." I scoffed."I'm here for the job sir. Please I beg you don't push me away. I really need this job." He begged."So you already know what you did." I said.***********I was working as a mechanic in a garage sometime ago. A man came to drop his car and my boss asked me to fix it knowing that was my forte. I fixed the car but it wasn't done yet. It was remaining the brakes. The owner came to claim his car and I told him it wasn't ready yet."What do you mean it's not ready?" He yelled."I'm sorry sir. You can't go with this car yet. I'm not done with it." I explained and he continued yelling."What have you been doing since I've left you lazy bum? I paid for this and now you're telling me it's not ready. I have an important place to be." "I'm sorry for disappointing you sir. It's just remaining a small issue for me to fix and the car would be good
I turned and it was my mother holding a lunch bag."Mom! What are you doing here?" I asked her."To bring you lunch " She eyed."Here comes the slut." Audrey commented."Never call my mother that again." I warned.Audrey walked closer to us. "I know of your plans,I know you guys want to push me out and take over the company but it won't work. I'm the legal owner and this is my husband's comnpay." She said. "I and my son are not trying to push anyone out." My mom answered."Who gave you the right to talk,you maid." Audrey yelled."Don't call my mother that." I yelled. "Ha! You mean the woman who always washes my feet and does my laundry?" She laughed."That was before." My mother yelled back."You still have the guts to talk after stealing my husband." She yelled."I didn't steal him,he came to me." My mother justified herself."Coming from a slut. No matter what you do,you'd still be his mistress." She yelled.My mother slapped her and she slapped my mother back. They started fightin
"Next door?" I asked confused."Well I and Diego would be on our way. He has an exam to write today." My mom stood up."Bye and goodluck Diego." I said and they all left including my dad."Bye son and take care." "Did she say her name or leave a message?" I asked."No sir." She dropped the cupcakes on the table."Aha! There's a note sir. Welcome to our neighborhood from Miss Rosa Parks." She read. "My wife sent this?" I asked myself.Rosa looked at me clueless."How could she? Is she already thinking of marrying another person? Does she go in blind dates behind my back? Is this the reason she isn't always at home? Miss Rosa Parks?" All these questions flooded my mind and my head began to ache. "Was it a female who brought it?" I asked."Yes sir." Diana answered. i was disappointed. My wife,sending gifts to another man. "Maybe she just did to welcome him." I said to myself just to stay positive but I couldn't. "When the Edwards moved in she didn't welcome them why this?" I asked m
