Roger was suffused with thought as he stared at the C of O document of his house and the document of his two Lamborghini, which would be collateral for the loan he needed.He had not done this before but he had to do it and please Susan Pablo who had been pestering him with her undying need for Gross Diamond Stiletto.Although he knew Susan could afford the shoe but he suspected he was putting him to a test.He wanted to be sure of his fate in his bid of becoming the son-in-law to Swan before committing to Susan.Few days ago in order to get the nine million dollars loan from Antipolo Central Bank he had been told to submit documents for his house and car.“Oh Lord what fate awaits me if I should take this bold step? I really want to be the heir to this multibillion dollars company and the only way I could be chosen is only if I marry Susan. Hmmm,” he hummed and stared thoughtfully in the space.This was the hardest time of his life; ten million dollars for a pair of diamond high heels
“All you need to do is to know who the heir is , seduce him make him fall in love with you so that Roger will regret ever breaking your heart.”That was the voice of Zara.Vivan, Zara and Kennedy had showed up in Stella’a house shortly after she put a call across to them that she had finally left Roger’s house.“I thought you consulted the security to help you identify who the true heir is,” that was Vivian’s voice, “Was he able to give you positive result?” she asked yet further.Stella sighed and gave worrisome look at her pals. “The asshole flopped the job despite paying him twenty thousand dollars and the worse of it was the security and Jamole mocked me…”“Mocked you?” the three of them said in unison.Stella jerked her head, “Yes you can imagine that pauper that calls himself my ex-husband making jest of me. But I am going to show him I am Stella pitcher, the solid wife that fed his broke ass when he couldn’t afford a square meal.”She brought out an envelope, “I am going to sack
Jamole had thought about boosting back his net worth to what it used to be when he was appointed the heir.Nights past he had thought about investing in profitable industry that could benefit him and nothing else had crept into his mind than the aviation industry.One night with his night cap grimly held in his hand, he invited his wife Susan over to the pent house for a business talk.“I can’t remember the last time I had a business talk with my husband. He has been busy bringing vengeance upon erring staff,” Susan said jocularly as the security pushed her in the wheel chair.Once Jamole perceived her by his side he muttered, “I have to raise the dike since so much is expected of me as the heir. Don’t forget my father-in-law expects my success. I can’t afford to disappoint him.”He poured a cupful of Whiskey Sour for Susan and handed over to her.Susan chirped and gazed upon Jamole with reserved admiration,“Business ambition shouldn’t take away my husband from my side. Nights past I
“You just mentioned the auditor has the backing of the heir. Why don’t you charm the auditor and get him to reveal the heir to you. This is the only time you can charm the heir to your heart.”Stella stood, gazing thoughtfully in the space as those words of Zara resounded in her mind. Desperation wasn’t a perfect description for what had possessed her. If it would take charming the editor with her body juts to make sure he revealed the identity of the heir to her, she was going to do it.She had made greater sacrifices in the past and this was not going to be a different ball game.“I am pained and hurt,” she mumbled within herself, as she stared into the mirror,“Men of class and of low standard have mocked me and broken my heart,” she chuckled, “I must know who the heir is. I will pay whatever price it will cost and when I finally know him, he shall be mine,” she said and let a threatening chuckle.“Jamole thinks I shattered because Roger left me, well I am going to prove to him that
“Nine million dollars to be repaid in five years with twenty percent interest. Should you fail to meet the terms and conditions, your house and the cars will be confiscated. Am I understood? Now sign the spaces with asterisks.”That was the voice of the accountant to Roger, who had come to access a loan to buy Susan the diamond high heels. He never knew a day would come in his life when he would borrow to please a woman.“Congratulations, Mr. Roger James,” the accountant finally said to him once he was done signing the necessary spaces.She took out a slip and handed over to him, “This is a cheque for nine million dollars. You have not accessed loan from us so we don’t know history of your investment. But we hope you are going to invest wisely.”With mountains of smile standing on his face, Roger looked up from the cheque and let a remarkable chuckle“Oh thank you very much for making this possible. I am going to invest wisely, even before five years I will get my return on investment
“I can’t believe I am hanging out with a man after my previous heartbreak. Perhaps knowing you could fix my heart,” Stella said, sitting opposite Charles at the Spanish café.Charles corked a smile. A few hours ago Stella had hounded him about the true identity of the anonymous heir and he hoped the reason she earnestly wanted to date him wasn’t because of her interest in knowing the anonymous heir.“Virtually everyone faces heartbreak. I guess your ability to heal matters most. Regrettably all the women I dated were as a result of office romance.”“Office romance?” Stella beamed and Roger came to mind. One thing she wasn’t going to discuss with Charles was her romance with Roger, “Well office romance is not the reason for heartbreak. I think it is based on the individuals involved. All the men I dated were gold diggers.”“And all the women I dated were bitches,” Charles mimicked her.They burst into a cracking laughter and struggled with breath.“I guess you are as much humorous as I
When Stella thought she was going to embrace happiness after Charles promised to reveal the heir’s identity to her , a disaster struck.Roger and Susan were about to rip her heart apart again with their trending romance.She was driving home when her phone beeped with a message. With curiosity hanging in her eyes, she was expecting tons of messages from Charles whom she perceived must have sent her message about who the heir was.This was the only message she was expecting at the time and nothing more.She was eager to check the message that just came on her phone; not even the busy road could stop her from checking it. With one hand she steered the wheel, and with the other hand she surfed through her phone.Promptly the wheels on her car screeched across the road as she stepped on the break. Her car came to a screeching halt. Blood drained from her face as she saw the image of Susan displaying Gross Diamond Stiletto on social media.She winked severally and rubbed her eyes to be
They all watched keenly as Jamole made purchase of a unique kind of wine. The fact was that Jamole never anticipated they were chilling at the café. And even now he was struggling inwards to see if he could hide any form of suspicion.He was returning to the villa when he thought about replacing his whiskey with another wine which was auctioned at the beverage house few days ago. Jamole had watched the auction on TV and then decided he would purchase it for the toast he planned to have with his father in law.His meeting Stella and her friends was coincidental.With the corner of his eyes he often stole a glance at them to see if they were staring at him.Regardless, Jamole knew they would be discussing him now, so the moment they laughed he perceived they were making jest of him.He had made payment for the wine, even the bartender was shocked when Jamole made a transfer of a whopping $ 1 million for Romanee Conti 1945.That very wine had been in the shelf for over six months without
