***Diana's pov***

We went to Mr Roberto's house two days after and Mona was sitting comfortably with some major shareholders in the living room. There were files on the table and well dressed men of high calibre. Bottles of exquisite wines were arranged neatly on the table with glass cups.

"Look who we have here.", She smiled when I and Mr Lionel's lawyer walked into the room.

"I invited you to my chambers and you declined.", The lawyer said and I sat down waiting for the drama to unfold. I was waiting for the lawyer to lash out on her before I say anything else.

"I saw the letter. I've been busy so I declined. It's not easy carrying this empire on my shoulder and this baby." She rubbed her belly.

"I don't care. All I'm asking is for you to provide the documents you said Roberto signed for proper investigation." He said and she chuckled.

"Investigation? I told you he signed it. What other proof do you need?" She yelled.

"You need to cooperate with us ma'am or we take this matter to c

    ***Gabriel's pov***"How did it happen sir? How did you manage to trick us and why?" I asked."First I need to get my phone. Something really important is there." He replied."Your phone is with your dad sir. He's really devastated about your death. We should inform him you tricked us. Even your.." Diana stepped on my toe. I grabbed my toe and winced in pain."What was that for?"I and Mr Roberto echoed. She eyed me and I remembered his mom is dead and this won't be a good time to announce that to him."Nothing. It was a mistake." Diana said and I nodded."Whatever. You guys can't announce to my dad that I'm alive yet and I need my phone to check the surgeon's message." He said."We've tried several times to unlock it when you were in coma but we didn't succeed. It was tiring." I explained."You guys don't know my password. It's my name,in capital letters." He grunted."What? We thought it would be something complex and hard,like birthday,date of birth,the day you became CEO or somethi

    ***Roberto's pov***I woke up to Gabriel's standing over me."What the fuck?" I stood up quickly and covered my chest."I just can't believe you're alive sir. It's a misery." He said."I know. Whatever." I nodded and he pulled out my phone from his pocket."Here you go sir. You can open it so we can see what's inside." He said.I snatched the phone from him and opened the phone. I had lots of messages from the surgeon and most of my business partners.I clicked on the message I got from the surgeon and low and behold I saw the message he has sent. "What the fuck?" I cussed again."What happened sir? Is anything wrong with the phone?" Gabriel inquired.I saw Rosa and Mona's picture side by side."How is it possible? Rosa died in the accident. The whole building blew up and she died." I said."What's in there sir?" He asked while standing over me impatiently."Rosa is Mona." I answered glaring at my phone."What?" He yelled."Rosa is Mona. I'm going to kill that bitch." I yelled. I sto

    ***Diana's pov***I invited the lawyer to come over to my house and he was surprised to meet Mr Roberto."No one must know I'm alive,not even my dad." I watched as Mr Roberto instructed him."Since you said you didn't sign it yourself then your signature was forged." He said and Gabriel walked in with a box of pizza. He placed it on the table and sat beside me. I opened it and picked a slice."What am I going to do?" Mr Roberto asked."It's easy sir. We take it to court. She's be surprised to see you alive and you can finally send her to jail now. It's like killing two birds with one stone." He explained and Mr Roberto stroked his chin."Yes. We would also bring her pending case too. All the Parks must rot in jail,including my stepmother." He glared."That would be all for now sir." The lawyer grabbed his bag and stood up."Thank you so much for coming. We'll discuss the rest another day." Mr Roberto said and escorted him out."Mr Roberto said he has all the videos of what happened in

    ***Mona's pov***I decided to go to the Lionel's lawyers chamber. I was now overconfident because Christian has assured me that no one would ever notice that the signature was forged.I walked in with my pink heels clanking against the white tiled floor. I was in a cream colour suit and my hair was packed into a pony tail."Tell him Mona is here to see him." I told the woman who was seated the the reception."Do you have an appointment with him ma?" She asked."Tell him Mona Lionel is here." I banged my hand on the table and yelled. She flinched."I'm sorry ma. I'll ask him." She said and pressed a number on the landline. "You can go in ma." She said and i rolled my eyes."Which way?" I asked. The building was huge and there were lots of rooms there and lots of people present."You take the elevator to the fifth floor then the third office by your right is Mr Zane's office." She explained and I hissed.I barged into his office without knocking. He stood up and when he saw my face he

    ***Diana's pov***"What just happened?" I faced Gabriel."I don't know. It was weird." He shurgged."Why would ma'am Audrey want me to drop the case?" I asked."Could she be working with Mona?" Mr Roberto asked."I don't think so. They have no chemistry. I don't think they've talked to each other before." I added."That's why it's fishy. I need to know why she wants you to drop the case." Mr Roberto said "True. Don't worry sir. We would get all of them and throw them to where they belong." He said and i nodded in agreement.I went back to my room to think. "Why is my video not there? The video where I confessed my feeling." I asked myself."Have they been edited or cropped out? What if they cropped out another important part of the video so we won't see. Or does naan Audrey have a person there whom she ordered to get rid of some of the videos?" I rubbed my hands together."If she had some people there she would have asked them to crop out her part too." I said to myself again."This

    ***Roberto's pov***I was in the living room when Diana and Gabriel came to meet me. "Sir! There's a problem." Gabriel said and I raised my head to look at her."What's the problem? Did my stepmother do something again?" I asked and he shaked his head."Then what's wrong? Did Mona travel out or sell out all of my properties?" I asked again."No sir. It's none of that. In the video,we noticed something." Diana said."What did you notice?" I sighed. It would be worse if Mona sells all of my properties or if she travels out. I'd be done for."The video has been edited. Some parts of it has been cropped out." I said and I laughed."I know. I told them to crop out useless videos. Videos that are not associated with my stepmother and ma'am Cynthia are useless. Where is my mom and Diego? I need to see them." I requested and watched how Diana's face turned red."Oh! It's fine. Your mom and Diego is fine too. Let's get this over with and you'll see them." She said."What? Why are you guys loo

    ***Diana's pov***The next dayI dressed up in a blue short dress and a black heels. I took a black Fendi back to compliment my dressing. I combed my hair and let it fall on my shoulders. I applied makeup and a lips gloss on my lips. I smacked my lips together."Are you going to come out?" Gabriel almost yelled."I'm almost done. Calm down." I said.I stood up and turned around admiring myself."This should do." I said and walked out.Mr Roberto was dressed in a denim jeans and a shirt with a face cap and a nose mask."They won't recognize me like this right?" He asked and i nodded."It's good that way. We'd surprise all of them." Gabriel said and we moved out. We boarded a taxi and we all got in. I was seated in the middle so it was a bit weird. We got to the court and we saw Mr Zane waiting outside."You're five minutes late." Zane yelled."Sorry. Someone was busy with her makeup." Gabriel eyed me me."Stop being jealous. Let's go in and win." I yelled."And?" Zane looked at Mr Rob

    ***Diana's pov***"After hearing from the two lawyers,the judgement is obvious." The judge laughed.Mr Roberto stood up and walked to the front of the court."Go take a sit." The ballif instructed.Mr Roberto took off his face cap,then removed his nose masks. Everyone in the court gasped including Mona and ma'am Audrey.He turned to face the judge."I'm sorry for wasting your time judge. I just wanted to check out some things." Roberto said and the judge frowned."I'm Roberto Lionel and I'm alive. That woman over there is not my fiancée. I never signed to transfer any of my properties to her and lest I forget,Mona is Rosa Parks." He announced and everyone gasped. Ma'am Audrey stood up and ran away from her."You guys should get out of my court. This is my court not a family reunion. Next time you waste my time again, you'll hear from me." The judge said and left the court.Rosa walked up to Mr Roberto."Never knew you were this smart." She smiled."Never knew you were this dumb. I can

    ***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

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

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

    ***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
