***Diana's pov***

I was expecting him to call or beg me he didn't. Guess he was selfish after all. I heard a knock on my door and I ran to the door thinking it might be him. I opened it and it was Gabriel. I hissed.

"What are you doing here?" I asked.

"Oh! I'm sure you weren't expecting me. You were expecting Mr Roberto." He mocked and I sat down.

"Don't talk about him here." I grabbed the newspaper sitting on my center table,crossed my legs and began to explore.

"Better come back to the office before he employs someone new." He said and I eyed him.

"Are you okay? Like are you in your right senses? I quit! I won't work for someone who doesn't value me." I said and he sighed.

"Don't you understand him? It's never easy for him and people like you just make things difficult for him. Ever since you told me you were in love with him,you changed. This is not you at all. This is not the Diana I know. All you want is for him to love you back. You are the selfish one here." He said and stood u

I'm Olivia and I'll be your personal assistant from now on." She introduced. "Let's see Mr Parks. I have something for him." I said and we all went to the car.

What's wrong with her? I just want to know who my father is. Is that tok much to ask?"Just answer the question mom. Who is my dad? Where is he? Is he alive or dead?" I almost yelled. I was hoping and really praying she would tell me. I just want to know who the man is. "Stop asking. Stop!" She screamed in my face."Why would you tell me not to ask? Why? I deserve to know who my father is. All my life,I've believed Mr Parks was my father and now he is not so tell me who my father is." I yelled and she looked at me straight in the eye. Why is she so angry? Did my dad hurt her? Or did he run away? Why won't she tell me? Just a name would do."I don't know. Stop disturbing me." She gritted her teeth."Really mom? Just his name. Say something. Why are you so mad? I just want to know him." I asked and she refused t

    ***Diana pov***I was dressed up already in a black short gown which was way far above my knee exposing my thighs. It has a white collar with some shinny white buttons on the collar. I was sipping my coffee when I heard a knock on the door."Who's there?" I asked and I didn't hear an answer. I hope it's not what I'm thinking. Hope it's not Mr Roberto. I ran back to my room to add some power to my face. I added more red lipstick and smacked my lips so they could all sync. I tucked my hair behind my ear and rushed to the door. I took a deep breath and exhaled. I opened the door and it was Mona,I mean Rosa."What are you doing here?" I frowned."I came here to see you." She said as she pushed me away from the door gently,strolling in. She was wearing a teal skirt suit with white stripes by the arm and and neck. A white shirt shirt tucked in. She absolutely rocked the suit. I envy her nice body and shape. She looks good in everything. She sat down without my permission,she even crossed h

    ***Roberto's pov***I woke up the next morning. Gabriel tapped me violently."What the fuck is wrong with you? Are you crazy?" I yelled at him. He just disturbed my beauty sleep. I had made sure I did all of my work yesterday in the office. I didn't want to go to work today or to be disturbed. All I wanted to do rest throughout the day."Sir! You need to check Twitter and Instagram." He said and I hissed."Why the fuck would I need to check that? Is that why you woke me?" I screamed as I laid back on the bed. I used another pillow to cover my head."Sir! You need to." He said and I threw a pillow at him."Get out! Out!" I yelled and pointed at the door.Few hours later,I came out of my room still in my pyjamas. I went to the dinning and there was no food. I walked to the kitchen and ordered one of the maids who were there to make me something to eat. I went back to my room and grabbed my phone. I connected to the wifi and went to Instagram. There were lots of trendy videos and funny o

    ***Roberto's pov***I took my bath and got rid of my pyjamas. I changed into a white long sleeved turtle neck and a blue jean trouser. I went to the living room holding a book in my hand. My maid poured me a glass of wine and left. I started reading and sipping my wine until my dad showed his face with my stepmother."Seriously?" "What's going on? This could affect our shares." He yelled."I know and I've got it covered." I looked at my stepmother with disgust. Everything about her disgust me."What have you got covered? She keeps posting videos,infact she said she is going to be releasing a song soon." My dad announced."A song? Is this girl mad?" I asked myself."Do you know how this affects the company? I built this company Roberto. Lionel's corporation was built with years of sweat from our ancestors. Lionel's corporation is the greatest of all and I can't watch it crumble in your hands." He yelled."Calm down dad. I've got it under control." I said. "You have it under control

I recorded some more videos and before I knew it,it was taken down."What's going on?" I asked myself.I tried posting another video but it was also taken down.This must be Roberto's work. Only him can do this but no matter how smart he is,he can never outsmart Rosa Parks.I went live on my social media account."Hello everyone. It's me again. I've been trying to post videos of myself but they always keep getting deleted. Roberto is the only one who can do something like this. He has money,power and affluence and h

She said and I rushed upstairs without replying her.I bumped into Gabriel."What are you doing here?" He asked."Coming back to work of course." I rolled my eyes and clicked my tongue. He laughed."We have a new person now. She's very beautiful and sexy. Even Mr Roberto can't take his eyes off her." He smirked and I could feel the jealousy rise in myself. It's none of my business. I'm here because of my deal with Rosa Parks."Whatever. Is he in the office? I'll have to beg him if I have to." I questioned."He's in the office. I'm sure Olivia is there.

"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.

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.

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."

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

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.

    ***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."
