Who came in?
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
"Yes what?" I was forced to act. I couldn't keep my cool anymore."Are you eavesdropping?" My mother in law asked reading to throw me a slap."No ma." I answered."I'll give you girls the gist later before he casts an evil spell on my daughter." My mother in law yelled. "Let's discuss another topic then. Any company you're eyeing for a contract?" The woman wearing a blouse asked."Yes. The Lionel corporation." She answered and everyone gasped."We all have been trying for years and we've always been rejected? What makes you think they'll give you?" The woman in black gown asked. "I'll use Rosa to get why I want." My mother in law said and I clenched my fist."You all should wait and watch how I'll plan this game." She said and they all laughed."If Rosa can join the Lionel family,we all would be swimming in money." The woman on blouse spoke. "Yes my dear friend. I cant wait." My mother in law squeaked. I finished painting her nails and went upstairs to my room."My wife is interest
"They said they are the Parks sir." Diana said and I was shocked."Why are they here? What are they planning now?" I asked myself."Should I let them in sir?" Diana asked."No! Tell them to book a proper appointment." I ordered and Diana went outside to deliver my message. I heard some noises and rumbles before it quiet down and Diana came back inside."What happened?" I asked."They were creating a scene so I called security sir." Diana said."Even the universe wants revenge." I said to myself. "Sir. You have a meeting with the board in the next thirty minutes." She announced and I nodded my head.This was time to prove myself. I knew they were doing this purposely to spite me and some of my stepmother's men were there to make things worse but I'll show them I'm a true descendant of the Lionel. I'll show them I'm capable. Soon it was thirty minutes. I walked into the conference room and took my sit which was in front of them.I poured myself a glass of water and drank."Good aftern
I tried washing them but the stains wouldn't come off. I couldn't even bring out all the water the duvet had swallowed.I carried them downstairs to spread. I ran upstairs so my mother in law and Luara won't see me. Some minutes later,Laura barged into my room."You think you are smart." She said.I didn't know if it was a question or a statement. I just stared at her brown buldging eyes."The duvet. Did you wash them?" She asked."I wash...""Yes or no." She yelled,demanding a fast answer."Yes I did." I swallowed a huge lump of guilt."Then why are there still stains on them? Before I count to three,go downstairs and rewash them." She barked and I ran downstairs immediately. I was tired and exhausted. I couldn't feel my arms anymore. I washed them throughly and spread them. "Good." She commented and I flinched. I didn't know she was behind me."Now come to the living room. You have some work to do." She ordered and I followed behind her. "Clean this up." She ordered.Her kids had
"How can you say that?" I asked. My eyes were already red due to stress and headache."I said you should lick it. Don't make me repeat myself." He ordered. "I'm sorry I can't do this." I stood up."Then should I call the police and get you arrested for stealing and abuse? You know I can do this." An evil smirk appeared on his face. I swallowed my pride and bent down to lick it."Good dog." He said and he clicked his phone."You got that on video?" My mother in law asked."Yes I did." He answered."Send that to me. It would be fun to post on my social media platform." My mother in law gestured as she handed her phone to Peter. "Don't post it please. it would be humiliating ma'am. I'll do anything just don't post it." I knelt on the floor,with my hand clasped together,begging."I won't post it if you promise to abide by my rules and do whatever I ask you to do." She bargained."Yes ma. I promise I'll do whatever you want." I said and I went upstairs.I took my bath and wore my casual
I adjusted my chair and settled well."Sir it's five already." Diana alerted and I woke up."It's five?" I yawned loudly."Yes sir." She answered."That means I slept for six hours. Why didn't you wake me? I've missed lots of appointments." I said."I cancelled them sir. You needed lots of rest." She said and I smiled at her."Thanks a lot Diana. Thank you." I said and she carried my brief case and the groceries she bought from the market and we went into the elevator. She pressed ground floor and the elevator closed."Your dad asked you to come for lunch tomorrow." She informed."Sure. I'll go." She said.The elevator door opened and we walked to the receiption and we were in the car park.One of my body guards opened the door and I hopped in with Diana. He closed the door and we drove off. After an hour we got to my mansion. I went in and changed into my casual clothes as usual. "Thanks for today." I said and Diana bowed."Take her home." I ordered my driver and they left.I took t
"Nothing mummy." Rosa answered.Her phone beeped and she took the call."What?" She rolled her eyes."Okay. Okay. Shit!"She cursed and dropped the call."I have to go now. I have some things to settle in the office. Mom please take care of him." She said and kissed her mother's cheeks then kissed my checks before she finally left.My mother in law made a disgusting face as if she has smelt something bad."Count yourself lucky. I found the money in my drawer." She said as she waved the dollar bills in front of me."Let's go home. There's no one to do the dishes." She faked a smile."Be considerate ma. I'm on the bed dying and all you can think of is who would do the dishes." I said."Do you want me to hit you before you brain resets again?" She asked while she removed her shoe.I raised my body from the bed gently and I sat upright."What are you doing?" A nurse in a blue scrub asked."He's fine now. We have to go." My mother in law laughed revealing her thirty two teeth."He's not rea
***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
