"I don't want to hear it." I sniffed.I didnt know why I was getting emotional. Maybe because I was tired,tired of it all. Tired of being pushed around and humiliated and mocked. It's has always been like that,even when I have become rich,I'm still pathetic. I've always thought whenever I become rich,all my problems would disappear but I was deceiving myself. I have office work to manage,I have to prove to my dad,board members and stepmother I was worthy of my position. Nevertheless I had to deal with my wife's family and all the bull shit they make me go through. "Just come out?" He begged."Should I go? Should I not go?" I wanted to hear his side of the story,a story I have heard before but I was too angry. All this wouldn't have happened if he had controlled himself or better still accepted me. "It's funny how my life has changed but I'm still pathetic." I stood up and unlocked the door. He came in and hugged me. I pushed him away gently and sat on the bed. He sat beside me and fa
She stood upright immediately."I'm sorry sir. Sorry sir. Thank you sir." She bowed and ran upstairs. I followed her and she dropped the briefcase."What would you like to eat sir?" She asked.I started unbuttoning my shirt and she turned away. It was amusing and cute."Just get me some cookies and tea." I said and she went off.I didn't have the courage to fire her as Stephen has advised. I loved everything about her. I walked to the mirror and stared at myself. My brown hair and my well trimmed beard were perfect. My chin was chiseled and my eyes were black. I was attractive.I removed my shirt revealing my abs. I took off my trouser and my boxer short was left.I stepped into the bathroom but when I heard the door open I came out back and she dropped the tray. The cup broke and the tea and the cookies spilled."I'm sorry sir. I'm so sorry." She apologized again as I joined her in packing the cookies."It's okay." I joined her in packing.Her hands were shaking and she was breathin
"She's so cute. Lord have mercy!" I prayed.I walked to my room and laid on my bed,blushing and thinking about Grace. My brain kept playing how I cleaned her tears and hugged her."That was so cool." I whispered.*********Walking down the stairs I was low-key looking for Grace but she was no where to be found. I went to the dinning to check if my breakfast was on the table but nothing was there."Where's Grace?" I asked a maid that passed by."I've not seen her since yesterday sir." She answered and bowed."Where could she be?" I asked myself,confused.I walked to the kitchen and my eldest maid who had been taking care of me since I was young greeted."Good morning Master Lionel." She smiled."Good morning Coco." I greeted and said her nickname. She hated whenever I called her that but I always did,since I was a kid till now."Stop calling me that master Lionel." She frowned."Where's Grace. My breakfast has not been served and I'm getting late." I queried."I'm so sorry sir. I told
I pushed her away."I told you to clean my shoes why didn't you do that?" I yelled."I'm sorry sir." She apologized."This is the third time you'd be apologizing. Do you even like your job?" I asked."I'm sorry sir. No more mistakes." She promised."Just move from here." I said and went out.I went to my room and heaved a sigh"I almost got caught." I whispered.I stared at the ceiling. Thinking of the things I want to do with her,normal couple things which I have never experienced before. Audrey's married and I was arranged. I tried my best to be friends with her but she didn't give the chance. We were married but acted like strangers in the house. The only time we act like a couple is when the press were present.*********The next morning,I did my daily routine and went off to work. I got to my office did my work then called Coco."Hi Coco." I said,hoping to annoy her."Stop calling me that young master." She yelled as usual."Can you please tell Grace to come to my office. Tell he
"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
