"Who's responsible for your pregnancy?" Audrey yelled."It's none of your business." I said and Audrey slapped Grace."Why would you do that?" I yelled at Audrey."Why was she telling you she's pregnant? Hope it's not what I'm thinking?" She yelled."I'm not pregnant ma'am." Grace answered."You better not be or I'll kill you with my bare hands." Audrey threatened."You would do no such thing. She is carrying my baby." I announced and Audrey's mouth was wide open."How dare you? How dare you do this to me?" She held me by the collar."I'm sorry ma. I'll pack my things and leave the house." Grace cried."it's not enough. it would never be enough. You need to get rid of that thing you call pregnancy." She said as she hit Grace. I grabbed Audrey and took her upstairs."Calm down. I know I did wrong and I'm not sorry for that. Our marriage was based on politics and now I've fallen in love with someone else." I said and she slapped me.Tears began to flow down her eyes."Even if you don't
i got a message from my mother in law."Where have you been? Not that I care,just come,we have so much work to do." I read the message aloud. "Why haven't your wife's family come to visit you?" My dad asked."There's no need for you to know." I answered.I got a call from Diana."Hello sir. How are you feeling now?" She asked."I'm fine,thank you. Have you landed?" I asked."Yes sir. I'm sorry I had to take your private plane. All the planes have been booked." She apologized "Could we do a zoom video call so they'll see you." She said and I smiled."Sounds good. Just text me so I'll come online." I said."Okay sir. Rest well." She hung the call."Diana?" My dad asked."Yes. She's in London already." I said."Good. Just rest,I'll handle it." He smiled.I stood up."I'll handle it myself and I don't need your help sir. I'm going home." I said and he stood up."This is your home. You should pack in here with your wife. I don't like the idea of you living with your wife's family." He
The tray fell on the man on uniform leg."What's the meaning of this? Have your brought me here to have your son in law or maid mock me?" The man asked."How dare you?" My father in law yelled."Apologize now." He walked up to me.I didn't utter a word."I said apologize." He yelled again and I stood still."Proving sturborn huh?" He slapped me in the face and I cried."Won't you talk?" He slapped me again and I walked out."Roberto! Roberto!!" He yelled but I didn't answer.*****Daniel/Father in law pov*****I slapped him twice and he didn't apologize. I was embarrassed in front of my guest. I wanted to deal with him so much he'd regret been born but I couldn't leave my party just for him. I went back to sit down thinking of the kind of punishment I'd give to him. I couldn't wait to get home."Excuse me." I said as I tapped the microphone."Thanks for coming. The Parks really appreciated this. Enjoy the party." I said as I said the vote of thanks and I and my family left the party an
"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
***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
