2024-10-29 19:42:56"You scheming cheater!" Michael's mother-in-law lunged at him with a pillow making him fall from the bed to the ground while trying to dodge the attack, he looked around in surprise wondering why she was doing so, he knew quite well she didn't like him but this was going too far.
"How could you do this to my daughter? Haven't you disgraced her enough?" She snapped at Michael who was still trying to process what was happening, he noticed his clothes scattered on the floor and the only thing attached to him was his underwear which he quickly covered with the bedsheets.
"What are you saying?" Michael asked calmly, he furrowed his brows taking a scope of the unfamiliar room before his gaze landed on a woman lying on the bed who was wide awake and smiling. "What is this?"
"Don't act like you're innocent, you scoundrel!" His mother-in-law Alice snapped at him again, her loud voice ringing in his ears, he winced in pain as his head ached and the smell of alcohol hit his nose, he noticed some bottles lingering on the floor beside the bed.
How could he explain all of this when he had no idea how it all happened? Alice pulled out a document from her bag and pointed toward it.
"You would sign these divorce papers and have absolutely nothing to do with my daughter again," Alice yelled shoving it in his face and glaring at him as he stared blankly at it, he furrowed his brows gazing at his wife whose eyes crinkled as she stared at Michael in disbelief.
"Why this? I would never cheat on her-" Michael tried to explain but Alice wouldn’t want to give him a chance to prove himself innocent.
"Silence you fool! My daughter deserves someone better and not the likes of you." Alice grits her teeth trying to seem intimidating but Michel remains calm gazing at her silently.
"It's alright Mother." Lucy his wife finally spoke up, the lady who had been in bed with Michael quickly grabbed her clothes and dashed out of the room leaving them be.
Lucy turned to her mother with a weak smile attached to her lips as she spoke. "Please let me talk with him."
Alice was hesitant not wanting to leave her daughter's side and feared that Michael would try persuading her not to divorce him but she had no other option than to leave.
"Please." Lucy implored, Alice nodded her head leaving the room but not without eyeing Michael.
Once it was finally both of them in the room, Lucy turned to look at Michael with a grim look on her face. "And how do you explain yourself?" She folded her arm on her chest gazing at him silently.
He couldn't tell if she was annoyed or what her intentions were with the look on her face, Michael was hesitant to say anything and just gazed at her. He sighed, brushing his hair away from his face, and stared at her. "I would never do this to you." He scrunched his face and sighed again. "Would you divorce me?"
"Of what use would you be to me if we remained together?!" She shrugged her shoulders gazing blankly at him.
She walked towards him and stopped when they were a few inches apart, she gazed into his eyes, disappointment evident in her gaze, he wished there was a glimmer of hope that he could hold on to and be assured that she would still be with him.
"It's time for you to move on, my company has progressed quite drastically for the past three years and I'm satisfied…. This relationship would only hold both of us back most especially you so I suggest you find your way."
She turned away from him, clasping her hands together. "I wanted us to end it on a quiet note but you went in behind my back to defame me sleeping around with a slut?"
"Lucy-" He reached his hands forward but she smacked it away gazing back at him with a frown.
"Know your place, Michael, you and I have nothing to do with each other from this day henceforth." She snarled at him.
Michael nodded his head realizing that no amount of words was going to make her change her decision and the only option he had was to accept it, he sighed in defeat gazing at the divorce papers in his hand.
Michael met her three years ago. He was badly injured, due to that conspiracy… Lucy found him and took him to the hospital.
At that time, Lucy’s grandfather was dying. His last wish was to see her getting married and have a family.
So their marriage was based on a deal although it felt quite real to him and he had taken some liking to her although he was willing to let her go.
Even if it hurt when it ended…
Michael picked up the pen lying between the paper and signed it handing the file back to Lucy.
She took it from him and stared at it before placing it into her handbag and looking back at him. She was about to turn around and walk away when Michael held her hand, she turned to look at him tilting her brows and gazing at him with a frown.
"What now?" She tilted her head staring at his hands gripping her slender wrist that could easily be crushed if held too hard. He let go of her hand immediately so as not to make her feel uncomfortable.
"I just wanted to inquire if Alec is on your neck, that's all." Michael shrugged his shoulders still gazing at her.
Alec is the son of the president of one of the biggest companies in the city and every corporation wants to have business dealings with them to rise to the peak in the business world. While trying to get into business relations with the company Alec had shown quite a genuine interest in Lucy who wasn't at all interested in a man who wanted her for her body only.
Noticing her behavior Alec had implored his father to make things hard for her, he ensured that the prices of the building materials she had initially wanted to purchase for a project she was to handle were hiked and he was constantly harassing her. Her company was slowly crumbling and she still had no solution and was cornered since she couldn't take any loans to offset it.
"Why ask? You have nothing to do with me now. And that’s not something you can handle."

With that, Lucy turned around and walked out leaving him in the silent room, just before she had left she glanced at him and he caught a glimpse of her reddened eyes and tears that flowed down her, one he hadn't expected to see….tears. His chest felt tight and he had the urge to run to her and engulf her in his arms but it took everything within himself to hold back because she was disappointed in him, the three years he had spent with her never had she cried in front of him and seeing her now made his heartache.Michael sighed, he felt pain in his chest. Perhaps, he could do the last favor for her, as…a farewell gift. Gathered his clothes and put them on immediately, then grabbed his phone and dialed a number."Hello sir Mr Montreal, it's been a while since you called…. Is there a reason for that sir?" A lady finally answered the line with a respectful tone."Good day, Karina I need you to help me get some information regarding Latiel's holdings..""If I may ask sir, is he causing

"Security!" She yelled beckoning the men over and they briskly made their way to them with concerned expressions on their faces."What seems to be the problem here?" One of them asked, staring at Michael still holding his mother-in-law's wrist firmly but slowly letting go of her and facing the men with a blank face."This man…." Alice began to feign crying. "He cheated on my daughter and now he's threatening to beat me up, how utterly disgusting!" Michael slowly looked at her and he could see an evil smirk at the corner of her lips. He knew this was what she wanted all along, she had found the perfect spot to disgrace him to her heart's desire. "If only… I knew you were this kind of person, I wouldn't have let you marry my daughter." She burst out crying and brought out a white hanky to dry the tears that never came out of her eyes. "Curse the day you were born because you would never find another woman like my daughter. "Oh my goodness, how could he be so brave to do something utt

Lucy was in absolute shock and disbelief, unable to process what her mother had just told her. "Why would he do such a thing?" She questioned her mother who had no response to the question and bit her lips nervously."Well, he… he must have been…angry about being exposed." Alice stuttered."Angry?" Lucy repeated, she was more than convinced that Michael wouldn't do much to her mother. "Mother… now isn't the time to cause any more trouble.""Trouble? I did no such thing!" Alice huffed, whining like a child with her pouted lips. "I'm already famished from the previous situation so don't start another." Lucy gruffed, wanting to end the call as soon as possible."Silence you ungrateful child… I helped you remove that stone head from your life and you end up talking to me this way?" Alice snapped at her daughter, evident with anger that she didn't react the way she had expected, she frowned her lips and made her way to the car, the driver opened the door and she got into the back seat lea

"The only person who gets to decide whether I leave or not is Miss Karina, it would be best if you kept quiet." Michael finally spoke which angered Doctor Ryan. Karina sensing the tense air between the two finally decided to speak up as every little time counted."There's no time for any of this… doctor Ryan why don't we give Michael a chance?" Karina was not ready for the bragging and sizing up as all she yearned was for her grandfather to open his eyes once more. "Both of you could join heads together and know what to do in this situation.""Competing with a man below my level is far beyond any sort of humiliation." Ryan spat bitterly, adjusting his glasses while staring at Michael in disdain. "But why don't we give this clown a chance, let's see just how much he can play." He spat at him.Ryan walked past Michael and began to test his patient with a stethoscope and other vital parts, he nodded his head and turned to Karina who leaned against the wall silently staring at Ryan as he

"What are you saying?" Karina's eyes widened in surprise. She turned her head in surprise and gazed at Ryan in the hope that he would be able to know what was going on."You scum, what are you spitting?" Ryan glared at him in anger. "Do you think you're better than I am?""That's not the case here, the herbs you mixed are incompatible and would create another poison," Michael explained but Ryan wasn't interested in what he was doing and was more bent on humiliating him. "Why else do you think I would stop you from using it?" "What?" Karina gasped, just when she thought it would be over, it felt as though it was getting worse. She clasped her hands together mumbling prayers hoping he would survive this. "How do you mean 'Mr. I know it all?" Ryan mocked him tilting his brows while staring at the plate containing the herbs. "This procedure is unique and taught to me in medical school, unless you went to how would you know it's the correct one?" "I didn't mean to mock you but a man'

A few hours passed and Karina's grandfather had begun to do well although he was still unconscious, his pale skin had begun to get back its original color. Karina held his hand in her palm as tears of joy flowed down her cheeks. She was more than happy that he would remain with her for a while."In a few days he will be awake and healthy as before," Michael informed Karina who nodded happily and was unable to speak because of the joy she was feeling."Thank you so much, there are no amount of words to show how happy I am for what you have done," Karina said between tears as she stared up at Michael who nodded at her."You fool, even without those herbs, he would be fine… he just needed time for it to get deeper into his body so that he could get cured," Ryan snapped at Michael while trying to ruin his image in front of Karina. "You only did that just to be praised and steal my win.""Steal?" Michael chuckled briefly, he guessed that something like this would happen after healing Kari

Michael's eyes widened and fear was written all over his face. "What's wrong?" "Meadow hotel, eastville…” Before he could ask for more the call ended almost immediately. Worry took over him as he wondered what could have happened to Lucy and his mind raced in fear. "Is something the matter?" Karina asked with a look of sorry but Michale didn't have time to explain such a thing and turned around. "Excuse me… I'll be taking one of your cars." He made his way out of the room and made his way to the garage where a driver was already waiting to pick him up but Michael grabbed the keys from him and got into the car. "Sir, Miss Karina-" the driver tried to explain but was cut off by the sound of the engines being loud, Michael zoomed off not caring what the man had to say. "Damn it Lucy… why do you find yourself in such situations?" He mumbled, tightening his hands around the steering. Half an hour later he was able to get to the location and quickly made his way into the hotel, and

Michael heard a scream come from the room just above and jerked his head towards the direction, he could tell it was Lucy and his heart raced in fear. He couldn't waste any more time here and clenched his fists, Alice and Emily sensing the change in his aura were cripes with fear that he could do something drastic and quickly moved away making a way for him to walk up the stairs and towards the room where the sound came from. He was filled with panic that something might have happened to her. He ran with so much speed and used his leg to bang the door making it open instantly. He walked inside the door and saw Alec jerk away from the floor with blood on his hands. "You! What do you think you're doing here?" Alec snapped at him with a trembling gaze. Michael ignored him quickly making his way to Lucy who was lying on the floor with a bleeding head and half-naked he immediately took off the coat he was wearing and covered her.

After leaving the company, and heading back home, Michael received a text message.He took out his phone and read through“Your brothers sold you out, if there is one thing I like more than anything, it would be revenge, you think you can take what belongs to me? Think again, you sicko because I can also do the same.. Do you know that your woman Karina is pregnant with your child? I bet you didn't because why would you leave her to wander around when you know I am out there looking to devour you”Michael could not believe what he saw, until Rasheel sent him a picture with Karina tied to a chair and a lid over her mouth, tears rolling down her eyes.His phone rang, Henry her father was calling.“Father” he answered“It's Karina, she is missing… she said she wanted to take a walk in the garden but we haven't seen her, please, please find her” he muffled.“Father is Mother there?” he asked calmly with his fist clenched, holding back his urge to go over and kill Rasheel and his brother.“

Rasheel got up, ready for the day’s activities, he went to his room, got dressed, and set for the day.“There must be a great occasion today” Lucy muffled as she watched him dressed after a brutal night together. It wasn't like she could ever resist him, He was stronger and always determined each time, having her roughly and making sure there were bruises all over the following morning. Lucy was tired of crying and begging him because each time she begged him, she realized she was just adding gasoline to his fire, making him burn rapidly, pounding her like it was his last time on earth.“Yes, I have a very important board meeting today, wish me luck, honey” He winked at her.Lucy cringed at his madness, if anything, she wished he lost the contract and went broke.Rasheel chuckled, like he could read her like an open book “I know you wish for me to fail, but even if I fail, I am never going to let you go, you are too sweet” He smirkedLucy tightened her grip on her blanket, holding tig

Karina was lost, confused.She gazed at Michael in awe “What is happening, what are you guys talking about?” she raspedMichael’s lips parted as he gazed at Karina, knowing that he never told her much about himself, nothing about his family and where he came from.“Tell Mr Montreal I said I am never coming back to that family! You guys can solve whatever problem you find yourself for all I care!” I sneered“But Sir Michael” Collins muffledMichael glared at him “The next time you call me or bother my wife again, I will have your head delivered back to that family, do you understand?” Michael growled“Yes sir” Colin breathed“Do you understand!” Michael snarled, his eyes darkened as though he was on a rampage, sending shivers down Colin’s spine.

Karina stood by the door, watching Lucy’s mother in tears, standing before Michael. She walked up to them “Michael, is everything okay?” she asked, gazing at Alice. “It's Lucy’s mum, she said she has something important to tell me” Michael responded. Karina turned to Michael to give her a listening ear, Michael didn't like the idea of having Alice in his house, he was clearly against it but he knew Karina wouldn't like it if he turned her down so he nodded in agreement to have her inside his house. They sat in the living room while Karina gestured to her maid to help Alice with a glass of water and a glass of juice so Alice could decide for herself which she wanted. As soon as the glass of water got to her table, Alice drank everything all at once. When the juice came, she gulped down again, making Michael disgusted “I am sure you are not here to wine and dine” he sneered at her and instantly Alice composed herself knowing that Michael had every right to be authoritative si

Gone where!” he lashed, aiming his gun at his guard who stood before him, trembling, beads of sweat plastered on his forehead, his legs wobbling.In his mind, he knew it was his last day on earth.Rasheel’s phone rang, and he pulled it out of his pocket to answer “Speak! It better be worth my time” He sneered, boiling with rage. The guard at the other end of the phone was not sure if telling Rasheel at that time was a good idea but either way, Rasheel would find out so he made up his mind.“Sir, the CCTV guard Miles’s parents malfunctioned but now that it's back..” he paused, trembling in fear, not sure if it was a good idea to yell Rasheel.“What is the matter you son of a gun” Rahseel was still very much pissed about Lara yelled, still clenching the gun like his life depended on it.“Miles’ parents are gone and all our men are dead” He finally blurted“What?” he exclaimed “They are all gone, Sir Rasheel,

Now it was left to Miles to get his friends out of the mansion without getting the attention of any of the guards that are loyal to Rasheel. Unfortunately for him, Lara had a shoot that morning and could not help him out, even if she was around, she would only make things worse has Rasheel had eyes on her, if you think the recording bracelet is the only thing Rasheel has on Lara and his other people, then you are wrong, that motherfucker also has a tracker and a live GPS installed on their phones, tracking their locations every minute and seconds of the day.Miles took it upon himself to get his friends out since they were only there because of him in the first place, if only..if only he never trusted Rasheel if only he never met Rasheel at all.He snuck past the guards standing at the door and walkway, heading to the room in which his friends were being locked up.
