Stella had a bouquet of flower, a delightsome smile on her face and her palms couldn’t stop stroking her huge baby bump. Vivian, Zara and Kennedy, smiled from cheek to cheek, as they expected to see the arrival of the anonymous heir.The crowd was a perfect mixture of the public, eyewitness from all walks of life and a variety of journalist from different media homes. The reacquisition of Swan Group with one trillion dollars worth of shares had got the public talking. And virtually everyone wanted to witness the inaugural ceremony.Zhang, Andre and Roger were seen seated at the front row. Zhang wished he could avoid this day and he would have if he had a clue about who was about visiting was not who he thought it was.McDonald, who came late, was seated at a farther pew from Zhang. And Jade had finally found time to rest after making sure the entire venues was well arranged and in order for the ceremony. The job was really telling on him since Andre was too proud to resume his job as
Vivian, Zara and Kennedy were pacing up and down the hospital, combing around for any available doctor or nurse to walk out of the labor room and inform them why Stella had been screaming at the top of her voice since she got in.Vivian stroked her hair confusedly as she nagged, “What the hell is happening? Did the presenter make a mistake by introducing Jamole Cadry as the CEO of Swan? Or are we expecting another? I am still perplexed and lost here. How can Jamole Cadry be the anonymous heir?”“What is the so-called Anderson? What is happening? What is going on? Stella told us the father of her babies is the anonymous heir, who happens to be Anderson? Is Jamole the same Anderson?” Kennedy asked and clicked his fingers in shock.“You guys are not even getting the point,” Zara panicked, “Is that not Jamole Cadry, the dirty-looking janitor who could barely smell nice let alone fend for himself? That is Jamole Cadry, Stella’s ex-husband. How did he become so rich that?”The receptionist
Immediately Jamole alighted from the car, he waited for his security officer to assist Susan. Paparazzi and journalists perched around and kept shooting flashes of camera at them.Gently Jamole led Susan into the hospital and he met a spectacle when they got in; the doctor and a handful of nurses welcomed them with colorful flowers.This was the same hospital where he was humiliated by onlookers just because his credit card was blocked by Zhang. He couldn’t believe his sight. He had only come to visit his father-in-law and never planned to witness a warm reception.But news of his sudden leap to the top had made the round and the doctor was forced to grant him a warm reception to honor his visit.“Is that not the same man we mocked when his credit card failed to pay?” a nurse mumbled to another. “I can remember we called him gold-digger. It was an embarrassing moment for him.”“His transformation had got me. I barely could recognize him. The Pablo’s must be excited for making him thei
On a crisp morning, Jamole had sent a memo across all his staff for a compulsory staffers and stakeholders meeting. Everyone had gathered in the board room and he stared across to see that some staffers were missing. Roger, Andre and Stella were not in the room. He had received information about Stella’s delivery of the twins, and he couldn’t wait to see her ruin in her pain.He could see Jade and how busy he was with his job of putting the hall in order and discarding the trash.Just then a figure appeared at the door. All eyes fell upon Roger whose face held a mountain of frown. In his hands were a pile of files and a briefcase. After tossing his head in pity, he walked majestically to Jamole and stretched an envelope to him.“That is my resignation letter. I have applied for my trust fund which is about five million dollars. Please I would want to get that money as soon as possible. That is part of my salary which the company has saved.”Jamole chuckled and replied, him, “Good ridd
“I don’t want to set my eyes on those twin babies. They don’t belong to me and I don’t want to have anything to do with them. This is not the kind of life I planned for myself. How can a miserable worthless impostor barge into my life, get it ruined and disappear out of sight. How did I get to this dilemma…how…oh…Lord!” Stella wailed and stamped her palm on the bed.Zara was carrying one of the twins, doing her best to lull the infant to sleep since Stella has refused to breastfeed them.Vivian cuddled the other baby and struggled to pet the suckling. She knew they were famished which was the reason for their wailing. But Stella wouldn’t want to breastfeed her babies. Ever since they got back from the hospital, she had avoided the twins.Kennedy yelled at Stella, because the twins were wailing noisily now and he couldn’t tolerate it anymore, “It is today that I confirmed your wickedness. You are heartless and deserve not to dwell among humans. When you were busy frolicking with Ander
The repeated wailing of siren could be heard from a distance, as onlookers murmured over the incident of suicide by Andre.The neighborhood was held stampede and residents couldn’t fathom why a vibrant young man like Andre would end it all.When the ambulance officially arrived, they made into his flat and brought out his corpse. Already before now Jade had taken the written note which he intended to show Jamole. All the while Jade had been lurking around, wondering if Andre was still was alive. He wa expecting confirmation from the medical officials who were already administering oxygen to Andre.After what seemed to be a battle between life and death, the latter struck. Jade could see the officials tossing their heads in loss and misery.“It is late. He is dead,” one of the officials stated and covered Andre’s corpse with white linen before conveying it into the ambulance.Whereas heavy chattering and murmuring hung over the crowd, Jade kept exclaiming and groaning in loss. He could
The convoy of exotic cars screeched to a stop and the well-suited security officers alighted. Already, Jamole had caught sight of Stella who was standing at the entrance to the elevator and he perceived she had come to seek his forgiveness.“Boss, are you expecting her?” one of his security officers queried and focused his attention on Stella.Jamole grinned from ear to ear and replied, “That is my ex-wife, Stella, hmm I could barely recognize her, she has lost pounds and her facials had darkened like scarlet, and why is she not carrying her twin babies?”“I guess it is because of her visit,” the security officer replied and opened the door once Jamole gestured at him to do so.Upon seeing Jamole, Stella fell on her knees and waited for him to get closer. Promptly, warm tears smeared her cheeks. All that she did to Jamole replayed in her thought and her conscinec couldn’t stop pricking her.She had come for Jamole and like her pals had rightly said, her ex-husband whose soft spot she
Once Jamole rang a bell on his desk, the door opened to Charles, the manager of Swan Airline. “Hey, Charles, don’t tell me you have been on the queue of clients who have come to see me.”Charles bowed, “Boss, greetings to you,” he said and walked forward to have seat, “I must go by the rules regardless of our relationship. We live by example.”Jamole rolled around in his swivel chair and offered Charles a hot coffee, “So to what do I owe this visit? Is it connected to my Swan Airline?”Charles grinned, snorted and tossed his head in pity.Jamole’s gaze narrowed at him and despite hounding Charles with questions, he hesitated to give a reply. It was obvious tragedy had struck.“Boss, it is about Anderson,” Charles finally spoke and tossed his head more pitiably, “Anderson is in need of urgent help, boss. When I saw Anderson with my eyes, I wailed for him and resorted to seek your assistance.”With his frown held, Jamole queried, “What is wrong with Anderson? The last time I saw him, he
