"It's not a problem sir. It's still okay." She said and I stared at her."No way to divorce?" I asked again to clarify."No sir. Don't even try it." She said. "Okay. I better get going now." I stood up."You can't go now sir. You have a meeting with Mr Drex. He said it's important." She said."Mr Drex? Who is he?" I asked."He's one of the board members but I don't trust him. I don't think he's on our side." "Let's go check him out." I said."I've sent the address to the driver." She informed.We got into the car and he drove off. We got to a huge house. The guard room was outside and two bodyguards stood by the black gate.The security in the guard room phoned inside and nodded at the bodyguards who in turn opened the gate.My driver drove in. My bodyguard opened the door and I stepped out.I walked into the side way and entered the house. It was magnificent but not as my dad's. I met an old but sharp looking man seated. He was dressed casually and I looked like i had over dresse
My phone fell on the floor and shattered."How am I going to get through this? They mustn't know I'm a Lionel." I said to myself."What's wrong with my dad? Must he always cause trouble for me?" I yelled.I went into my room and sat down on the bed. I was troubled and tired. "I must get to the office now." I said to myself.I grabbed a nose mask from my wardrobe and left the house. I was about getting into my car when I heard a horn. The gate flung open and fleets of cars drove in. it was my dad's.I quickly used the nose mask. "Good afternoon son." He hugged me and I smiled."Good morning sir." I answered."Let's go meet your wife's family. I'm so happy to meet them. I didn't know she was the one that came over that day. Why didn't you tell me? I was so mean to her." He said."Why must we meet them? You've asked me before and I said no." I yelled."What's bad with me wanting to know your wife's family? They even came here to meet I and you and they didn't know it's their son in law
"What's wrong sir?" Diana asked."The board members kept saying I wasn't CEO material,that I wasn't properly baked." I yelled."Cal down sir. Just calm." Diana said and sat in front of my desk."What do you think sir? Do you also think you're not CEO material?" She asked and I was surprised. I thought she would encourage or motivate me but I got nothing of that."Answer sir." She pestered."I feel like I'm CEO material. I've never been exposed to this kind of life before so I'm just testing the waters." I said sincerely."You feel like CEO or you are CEO?" She asked and I was surprised again. I wanted to be encouraged and praised but all I was getting was unnecessary questions.I stood up. "No need. Thanks." I said and she held my hand."Answer sincerely sir. Do you feel like CEO or you are the CEO?" She looked into my eyes. I looked into hers too and I felt venerable."I've said the answer Diana." I said.She came close to me and made me sit."You are CEO. You shouldn't feel like,you
"Fixing your family problem in my presence is embarrassing. I'll take my leave." I said."No,don't leave. We'll settle it amicably." My father in law said and I sat down back."I'm also part of this family. We are related by blood. Why do you guys always think Rosa is the best? Why do you always praise her and put her on top of us?" Grachi yelled."I wish Laura was here." I said to myself."That's because Rosa is above you. She runs this family." My mother in law yelled.Grachi walked up to me."Rosa is the best? Your favorite daughter is married to a loser." She yelled.I was expecting Rosa to stand up and defend Roberto,she didn't."Don't let this family fool you. Rosa is married. Her husband name is Roberto,just like you." She yelled."Why would I share a name with such a loser?" I said.They all looked at me."What? Did I say anything wrong? Only a loser would stay with this kind of family. I'm sure everyday in this house would be fun. I love drama." I chuckled. Grachi stormed out
*******FLASHBACK*****"Where's the bag?" My mother in law yelled at me."I thought you said they won't follow us?" I whispered to Rosa."I tried but she wouldn't listen." She whispered back and I glared at my mother in law."Why would they want to follow us on our honeymoon? It's supposed to be just the two of us." I said and she shrugged.My father in law came down the stairs."Are you all ready?" He asked."Yes sir." I answered sharply,eager to leave the house and get it over with."Let's go." He said and walked out of the living room where I was dragging all the bags.I was shocked. My heart shattered into pieces. "Her parents are going to be following us for our honeymoon. Where's the privacy?" My subconscious added.I single handedly packed all the bags into the car boot while they all sat down in the car with Rosa cheering me up.The car drove off and we were in the airport. We ran inside because we were late. We went to the airhostess who was already waiting. Flight for Air E
"How did he know I was about to hit him?" I asked myself and before I knew it,he hit my face and my skin tore. Blood began to ooze from my face and I rubbed it to subside the pain."Rosa! Why are you following him? We are married. I'm your husband I love you." I said and Rosa looked at my mother in law who gave her a death glare."I'm sorry." She said and Troy laughed.Troy turned and held Rosa's hand. I couldn't take it,now that the crowd were watching and I have lost.I ran and hit him,this time it touched him and I was happy but it seemed not to have any effect on him.He hit me several times and I couldn't dodge because he was fast and skilled. I laid on the ground and the crowd laughed and threw canned drinks and bottles on me,calling me several names. "You're such a loser." A lady in a bikini said as she threw a bottle of drink on me."You couldn't even keep your wife." Another one said."When you know you're poor why did you marry?" Another man said and soon the crowd disperse
I had meetings with some dignitaries who were close friends with my father and I also checked some companies proposal and I haven't found anyone better than the Parks/Burberries. They are good honestly and i didn't want the contract to be given to them neither did want my revenge to get in the way of me making my dad's company greater."Sir! Mr Desile has landed in America. He's here to invest but we need to convince him first." Diana announced and my heart skipped a beat."Sure,I will." I said and she looked at me."Who is he though?" I asked."He's a big investor from Africa. He's very rich and he'd be good for our corporation if he invests." She said."Is my stepmother going to be there?" I asked."Yes sir. Ma'am Audrey is going to be there." She said and it was as if I was hit by a rod on the head. "You can do it sir. No matter how much she tries to ruin your reputation just calm down and focus on him and please remember Mr Desile is hard to convince." She informed and I nodded.
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
