***Daniel's pov***"I get the appealing part but begging the Lionels. C'mon. I'm a Park." I said with pride."Then you're not ready to free your daughter. That's the only way sir. They are the most powerful family in America and whatever they say or do goes." He said and I exhaled."I'm tired. Everything is just frustrating. If I go back to that house,I don't know what I'll do to that woman. She's such a shameless pig." I yelled."You need to calm down and take advantage of the situation. If we go for a divorce now,the judge would pity you and we have prove,lots of prove and Rosa isn't your daughter which is a good thing." He said."How about me? Laura isn't her daughter. Won't she counter attack with that?" I asked."She might. When did you have Laura? After marriage?" He inquired."Yes. I had her after marrying Cynthia and I explained to her,it was a mistake." I defended myself."Hmm! She might still be able to get some properties from you. You cheated on her but I'll make sure she
***Roberto's pov***We were all still seated in the living room enjoying the wine and watching television."Wonder how the Parks are handling the situation? Wouldn't it be fun to watch?" I asked and I picked up my phone while the other just watched me. They had curiosity in their eyes. I called Mr Barkley and instructed him."Send many reporters to their house." I ordered "Yes sir." He replied I and dropped the call."Reporters?" Diana asked."Yes. If there are reporters from MCB at their house more would follow and that's what I want." I said."What you want? How brother? I don't understand." Diego questioned."Do you know how embarrassing and humiliating it is for your sex videos to be out on television and internet? I'm doing the same thing they did to me,but the upgraded version." I asked."That's superb. Wish I could see the look on their faces." Diana said as she tuned the television.Videos of reporters at the Parks gates were everywhere while reporters kept reporting and vide
***Gabriel's pov***I went back to Mr Roberto's house and they were still in the living room. I'm happy he's finally getting his revenge and his younger brother is here with him but who's here with me? I've got no one. Even Santiago abandoned me. He promised he's give me some money so I can start up a small business and stop being a bodyguard but that dream has been shattered.I walked in and they noticed my presence."It's about time you came back home." He said and I chuckled."I had to go settle some things sir." I defended."It's fine. You're lucky I'm happy today." He joked and i sat down."The next on my list is Rosa. I have to reveal her identity to the world." He rubbed his hands together and I nodded. Thank God things are going in track. I also can't wait to see the downfall of that evil family."I think we should take things slowly. Let the one boil down on them first." I suggested."I want the heat to kill them. I want to suffocate them. I want to reveal all of their dirty
***Roberto's pov***Today would be a great day to make an appearance. Not everyone knew I was alive. Just few people in the company and the rest of my workers at home. Not everyone has gotten the news that Roberto Lionel is alive and not dead.I dressed up in a blue Fendi suit and went to the dinning for my morning coffee. I sipped it and Diana walked in wearing a black gown with some black dutchess net by the hands and shoulders. Her five inches red stiletto heels clicked against the tiles as she walked to me."It's time sir." She announced. I dropped my cup and we left the house. The car stopped in front of the company and I walked in."Good morning sir and welcome sir." My receptionist greeted with a bright smile.The rest of my staffs greeted and bowed till I got into the office."Any pending work? Appointment?" I asked she shaked her head."Just one today sir. With the Dalton's at 1:00PM." She said and left my office."We have a problem sir." Gabriel rushed in."What?" I asked as
***Daniel's pov***We went to Gloria's house at afternoon. I stood behind while my bodyguard knocked.An old woman came to open the door."Good afternoon." She greeted."Good afternoon ma." He greeted."Gloria asked us to take you out. She asked us to take care of you till she's back." He said."Really? I went to see her in prison yesterday and she didn't say anything of sort. Who are you?" She asked.I watched as my bodyguard pull a gun from his trouser pocket. She gasped as she saw it."Get into the car." He smiled and she went in. He went into the house and grabbed the little girl. She protested for a while but he got her into the car too. We drove off and I decided my next plan in the car.***Gabriel's pov***We searched and bribed some wardens just to get Gloria's house address. We quickly rushed there and I saw one of the Parks cars zooming out of their yard."They got here first. Follow that car" I ordered. We followed them. We slowed down for a while so they won't suspect we w
***Laura's pov***The warder opened our cell."You have a visitor Laura." She informed."Why do you get visitors all the time?" Suzy challenged."I don't know too." I answered."You'll come back here." She smiled.I rushed out to avoid anymore conflict and me getting beat up. I walked outside and saw Roberto's fiancée."Why is she here? Why does she want to see me?" Those were the questions that striked my mind.I walked up to her and sat down."Why are you here?" I asked."It's me,your sister. Do I need a reason to be here?" She answered and I almost laughed."If you're joking stop it. I'm not here to listen to the rubbish you have to say. If there's nothing more you have to say to me,I'll take my leave." I said and stood up."It's me. Rosa Parks." She said and I stopped."Are you crazy or something? Aren't you Mona,Roberto's fiancée. What's wrong with you?" I yelled."How do you want me to prove I'm Rosa Parks? I pushed your car down the bridge and watched you die. I've always hated
***Roberto's pov***I was still thinking about how I'll make sure Gloria doesn't testify again when Gabriel walked in. At least maybe he has good news."Good evening sir. Aren't you leaving early again?" He asked and I stood up."Let's just go." I said and he grabbed my laptop and some file."Where is Diana?" I asked."She should be downstairs sir." He answered and we went downstairs. We met with Diana and entered the car together"Any news on Gloria?" I asked."No sir. All I know is Mr Parks took her. Some of my boys are at his house watching his every movement." He said and I nodded."That's good but not enough. I heard they'll soon appeal. Should we go meet Gloria?" I asked."I think we should. If we give her money she won't testify." She added."Would she pick money over her family? That's why I asked you to get to them first before Mr Park." I said."Let's go try our luck. She might just agree." She said and we went to the prison.I went in while Diana and Gabriel waited outside.
***Roberto's pov***I went to my room when Gloria's family started eating to freshen up. Gabriel followed me."Should we inform Gloria or wait?" He asked."We have to inform her. She has to know before she testifies. We'll just go tomorrow. Words must not get out that we kidnapped them from Mr Parks." I warned and he nodded."And for Rosa,we still need those CCTV footages. Rosa's case is still pending and I can't wait to crush her." I said."I heard Blake died and I'm sure his wife must resent you for that. It's almost a year now sir,I don't think we'd be able to retrieve those videos anymore." He said."We have to keep trying. The video is the only thing that can help me send Rosa to jail." I said and he nodded. He left my room and I freshened up.I went back to the living room to grab my dinner too.I ate till my fill."Sir! I'll be going home now. Please take care of yourself." She said and bowed."Sure,thanks." We bade goodbyes and she left.The next morning.I dialed Diana's numb
***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
