"I'm in charge here." I yelled."I also have the right to talk. Infact I need to see their proposal. What's so special about them?" my stepmother yelled."I checked their proposal and I liked it." I saidShe came to my side and grabbed my laptop."Stop it." I yelled as we both dropped the laptop.I won the battle at last and hid my laptop behind me."Everyone out of my office." I pointed at the door.Rosa stood up "How about us sir? Are we still contracted?" She asked and I nodded.I walked to my door. "Anyone who fails to leave this office before the next two minutes call security." I ordered and Diana bowed.I went out and I saw ma'am Berlin as my car drove out of the company. I got down."I need to follow her." I said."There's no need to stress yourself sir. I'll go after her." Gabriel said."There's no need. I need to know her house and find the owner." I said.Gabriel went back and informed the bodyguards to go.We followed ma'am Berlin to a neighborhood. It was rough and all th
I dropped off Dorothy's and Bethany in their school early in the morning I called Diana to come pick me up at the school while I parked the car in the car park."Better come early by afternoon or i report you to my mom. You know what happens whenever I do that right?" Bethany eyed me and went to her class."I'll come early." I said.Diana messaged me. ##Where are you sir####I'm inside the school. Come in with my suit." I ordered and she came in a jiffy.I went to their bathroom and changed into my suit. I used my nose masks to avoid Bethany and Dorothy spotting me. I had to be at the office as early as possible and going back to my house would take much time.I came out and Bethany bumped into me. I adjusted the nose masks back. "Don't you have eyes? Are you blind?" I asked and Gabriel grabbed her arm."Shut up! Can't you see he is older than you. Show some respect." Gabriel yelled."No. Leave her." I ordered."Do you know who my father is? One phone call and you're dead." She yel
****Laura's pov****I grabbed her bag and we went off to Lionel corporation.We got there and we were asked to wait."Tell him in from Dax Tech." I decided to use my husband's company maybe I would be called in fast because there were lots of people waiting for their turn."I know but you have to wait. You'll be called in when those who came before you have been attended to." The receptionist said and I gasped.The people who came before me were much and I haven't eaten anything yet.****Roberto pov****I was working on my laptop when Diana came in."Mrs Laura is here with her child. Can she come in now?" She asked."No. let them wait." I said.I worked for about an hour before I called them in. I used my nose masks and she frowned as she walked in."Good morning sir. How is your day going?" She asked and i ignored."I'm really sorry for what my daughter did. She's just a kid." She said and it pissed me off."A kid who talks to her elderly ones anyhow she likes? A kid who doesn't hav
My mother in law and Rosa came in and Rosa slammed the door. She sat on the chair and screamed. I stood by the kitchen door and peeped."How could you mom? How could you?" She yelled and her mother used her hand to cover her mouth."Your dad might be at home. Please keep this secret. I beg of you." My mother in law whispered as she begged.Rosa mumbled. She pushed her mother away."How could you? I'm so dissappointed. This is filthy. This is the worst thing I've ever heard in my life." Rosa said and I wondered what could have happened."I'm sorry. I'll give you a better explanation later but for now just be cool. Don't let anybody know." My mother in law begged."What if I let everyone know? What if I shout?" Rosa yelled again and she covered her mouth with her hand."Stop it! What's wrong with you. If everyone knows the truth then the both of us are over." My mother in law yelled."It's not going to affect me. It's only you." Rosa said.My mother in law scoffed. "Are you that stupid?
*****Kess pov******I laid on my bed and checked the time frequently waiting for Rosa's call. My child's life was in danger. Mr Lionel is unpredictable. "What if he kills my baby? What if I never see him again?"Small drops of crystalline tears started dropping from my eyes. I've lost everything, my husband's love,our money and now my child is a stake and I'm about to betray my childhood friend. My phone beeped and I sat on the bed immediately. I picked the phone and it was Rosa."Hey homegirl." i sniffed."What's wrong with you? Have you been crying?" Rosa asked and more tears dropped from my eyes.I cleaned them and took a deep breath."Are you crazy? Why would I be crying?" I asked."Tell me the truth. Did Troy do something again?" She asked."Are you on your way to the restaurant? I'm hungry already." I said,a way of diverting the conversation."Yes. I'm on my way. See you soon love. Bye." She said and I hung the call. I took my remaining make up that I had in my house. The rest
*Kess pov**I texted her in the night but she didn't reply. I was waiting patiently to break the news to Troy that Mr lionel has our child now. We now live in a surbarn house at the outskirts of the country. life there was hard and painful.I stood by the door waiting patiently to see him coming but he didn't come in."Did Mr Lionel kidnap my husband?" I asked my self.I went in to grab my phone to call him but I stopped myself."What if he gets angry and does something to hurt my child?" I said and I sat on the floor and cried in sorrow and sadness.Troy barged in. I ran in to help him walk and prevent him from staggering and falling. He was holding a bottle of liquor and he stenched. He was obviously drunk to the core."Where's the bitch? Where's the bitch that almost ruined my life?"He yelled as he almost fell. He held the door knob to prevent himself from falling.I held his hand and placed it on my neck so his weight can rest on me and I would be able to move him inside easily.
I went home and started executing the plan ma'am Prudencia asked me to.I called Laura with a new, untraceable number. She picked up."Hello." I said with a deep raspy voice."Hi and who's this?" She asked and I laughed heartily."You can call me one of your well wishers." I said and she scoffed."Tell me who you are and stop wasting my time." She yelled."I have something important to tell you about your mom and your younger sister. A huge secret which could help you crush them." I said and she dropped the call.I called ma'am Prudencia to update her. She just laughed it out."She'll call you back. I'm sure of it." She assured."Are you sure? Or should I conduct a DNA test and sent the result to Laura?" I asked her."Don't stress yourself. She'll call back." She said and hung the call.I went back to the Parks mansion and Laura was restless. She noticed the awkwardness between her mother and Rosa. She tried to start up a conversation with them but they didn't respond well."Are you
"Any problem ma'am?" The doctor asked.I stood up and screamed "No. No!!""What's wrong? Are you okay?" He asked."I'm fine. I'm fine doc." I said as i cleaned the tears that stained my face and left his office.I went home and dropped my bag on the couch. I paced round the room thinking and tugging at my hair."Does Rosa know about this? Why did mom make me step down from the company? Does my mom love Rosa than me?" I asked my self several times but I couldn't get an answer. My curiosity was killing me and my head was banging. I took my car key on the center table and decided to go confront Rosa and my mom. At least I deserve to know why they hid the truth from me.I drove to the Manson and barged in. I saw the both of them seated opposite to each other. My mom watching TV and Rosa working on her laptop which was still an awakard view."How dare you do this to me? I hate you mom. You're the worst." I yelled."Shut up and stop talking to me like that. I'm your mother." My mom stood up
***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
