"That aside, there's a new company seeking a partner, this would solve all our financial issues at the company and perhaps stop your having to abort that baby" Mrs. Williams added
"Glad to see you finally agreed it is a baby" Natasha replied
"What does the person that gets this deal to enjoy?" Sylvester chipped in
"That person becomes the C.E.O of our company" Mrs. Williams dropped.
"Does daddy know about this?" Natasha asked
"He doesn't have to, I will make it work, or rather we will make it work" Mrs. Williams assured
"Right, now that I have both of your attention, I will send you both the details of this new company so you can come up with ideas to win us this deal" Mrs. Williams finished.
"Are you alright?" Gonzalez asked Natasha after she came back in
"You know how I have always wanted my part in the company, I have the chance to do so now but I don't know how to" Natasha complained
"Oh? How is that?" Gonzalez asked
"There's this new company out there looking for a partner, and mom thinks it will solve our bankruptcy issue at the company" Natasha explained
"How does that make you become a part of the company?" Gonzalez inquired
"If I help the company become partners with this new company, and solve our financial crisis, I will become the C.E.O." Natasha explained
"Wow, and why do you doubt you can do it?" Gonzalez asked
"Cos I have nothing, absolutely nothing on this new company" Natasha sighs
"I am curious, what new company is this?" Gonzalez asks
"Some G&G, just initials, nothing more"
"Oh, wow, how much of a coincidence," Gonzalez said, feigning surprise
"Wait! No, no. Don't tell me it's the company you just got employed for" Natasha screams
"Yes, it is. And I have been offered the position of a C.E.O" Gonzalez responded
"Oh my God, babe, this is great news. But, why didn't you tell me earlier?" Natasha frowned
"I was overwhelmed by all of it, not sure if it was real yet but now, I am" Gonzalez answered
"It's alright, I am so happy for you" She replies
"I will try everything within my power to make it work out for you" Gonzalez promised
"Aww, darling. You know you don't have to, right?" Natasha whined
"I know but you have always wanted it, we will make it work, both of us for our unborn child and unborn children," Gonzalez says to a smiling Natasha.
"I know, I can feel it now, it only gets closer" Natasha sighs, one of peace.
(The Next Morning)"Ma, how did you sleep?" Natasha asks during the family call, it only became often because of the company's financial crisis.
"I didn't sleep. Some of us were busy trying to think how to solve this so we can all have food to eat and houses to sleep in" Mrs. Williams had answered
"Well, I can see you do not want to be asked how you slept. Some of us were very asleep and we slept so well" Natasha retorted
"So much for someone whose husband goes round the city, begging for a job" Sylvester chipped in.
It was almost like Sylvester never existed every time until Natasha speaks, as he lived just to counter everything Natasha says. Natasha could swear that had her brother had a chance to kill her, he would not hesitate to do so with all pleasure.
"Well, not to brag but my husband now has a job, by merit, something you cannot boast about" Natasha smiled, knowing she had him just where she wanted him to be.
"Look ma, let Sylvester go. I can convince this new company on my own. I certainly do not need his help" Natasha assured
"Hear" Sylvester jeered
"What makes you so sure?" Mrs. Williams inquired
"You see, I just happen to know the C.E.O of this new company" Natasha triumphantly answered
"Are you sure about this?" Mrs. Williams asked
"It is" Natasha confirmed
"Make sure you click this deal" Mrs. Williams warned
"If you do not, that baby in your womb would be fine and you will be forced to marry Mr. Davies, do you understand? It is your fate to decide" Mrs. Williams warned
"I know what I have to do" A frowning Natasha replied.
(At G&G)"Welcome, young master" Mr. Davies started
"Shush, do not call me that in public, no matter what you say, I cannot get used to it" Gonzalez queried
"Sincerest apologies, but I will stick with sir." Mr. Davies answered
"We need to get to work," Gonzalez says
"Speaking of which, I have done all you asked me to do. I have a private account already created in your name and I transferred some funds there"
"Good. One more thing, the new deal on the market, give it to my wife, Natasha" Gonzalez ordered
"Isn't she a Williams daughter?" Mr. Davies asked in shock
"Yes, would that be a problem?" Gonzalez inquired
"No, not at all. It's just that..." Mr. Davies stuttered
"It's just that what?" Gonzalez repeated, waiting for him to finish his statement.
"Nothing, sir" Mr. Davies bowed
"Great! That would be all for now I guess" Gonzalez replied excusing him
"I will be here if you need me," Mr. Davies says as he bows out
"Will do" Gonzalez says
Gonzalez wondered what it was that Mr. Davies didn't want to say, he knew he was holding things back from him, either about his wife or something else. Was there something amiss? He tried to think but he couldn't think of anything.
Well, time would tell as they say but even at this point, he couldn't trust Mr. Davies completely.As Mr. Davies walked out, he thought of all the trust Gonzalez had for his wife, one should never trust someone so wholesome and with everything, especially a Williams, he knew that format hand.
He had wanted to reveal himself when he heard about Natasha and Gonzalez but he decided against it. He had wanted him to make his own choices. Now that he thought about it, he should have stepped in, perhaps it would have saved him a lot of trouble.
With Gonzalez being married to a Williams, how else could he reveal to him that they had a hand in his parent's murder?As Mr. Davies walked out, he thought of all the trust Gonzalez had for his wife, one should never trust someone so wholesome and with everything, especially a Williams, he knew that format hand.

He thought it best to leave things to the hands of fate, and see how it turns out in the end. Perhaps, their story will be unlike any other. (The Gonzalez's Residence) "Honey, what are you doing at the moment?" Mrs. Williams had asked Natasha when she called her. "I'm trying to get us that deal, is there a problem?" Natasha asks "I have a little surprise for you, perhaps you can come over to the house" Mrs. Williams suggest
"That didn't go well, I suppose" Sylvester commented after Natasha had left "No, it didn't. She is so different from the Natasha I knew" Matthew added "Of course, that poor thing changed her into something not any of us can recognize" Sylvester complained to a nodding, Matthew and Mrs. Williams. "Thank you, Matthew, for at least trying. I will forever remember this" Mrs. Williams said waving Matthew off. "And ma'am, I did not do this for naught, I had hoped that I and Natasha could work" Matthew corrected "Well, looks like it will not. Still, thank you" Mrs. Williams replied and gestured to Sylvester to walk him out. "That definitely didn't go as expected" Sylvester noted when he was back. "Yes, I had other plans in motion should that fail" Mrs. Williams smiled "I'm curious, what is it?" Sylvester asked "Do you doubt me, Sylvester?" Mrs. Williams questioned "No, I have never doubted you" Sylvester jeered "I took photos of them together" Mrs. Williams answered"Yes?" Sylv
"Look piece of advise, there is actually nothing we can do about it now. We can only report a missing person, no, not until after 24 hours. Just go home, pray and wait for her" The cop finished "Alright, thank you for all your help" Gonzalez mocked and left. Gonzalez picked up his phone to dial Mrs. Williams but what could he possibly tell her? Better to wait and see. Gonzalez had slept off on the couch but was awakened by someone shaking him rigorously. "Mrs. Williams!" Gonzalez almost screamed. He was certainly not expecting her. "It is nice to see you too, Gonzalez" Mrs. Williams jeered"I wasn't expecting you" Gonzalez stated "Of course you weren't, how soon you have pushed my daughter to the background" Mrs. Williams said "Excuse me?" A confused Gonzalez had said "I am just wondering how soon you have gone from " we" to "I" yet, you claim to be in love with Natasha" Mrs. Williams explained "How long before you told me? Tell us? My daughter was missing and you didn't thi
"What do these kidnappers want anyways? I have nothing of theirs" "They could be after the money. Or you know this new deal" "The new deal? What about it?" Natasha asks "Well, turns out a lot of people want this partnership deal and will do whatever it takes to take a competition out of the game" "What?" "Yes, it's nothing new. We done that a couple of times, just less dangerous" Mrs. Williams said smiling. "Really mom?" "It's all business, honey." "Can at least call Gonzalez?" Natasha begged "No, dear. The call could be tracked, it's too risky. I am so sorry, but you will see your husband soon" Mrs. Williams assured "You do know I still have to work towards us partnering with G & G right?" Natasha asked "Yes, we will work towards that. Not to forget, you promised me that deal" "I cannot forget that, I will get us that deal, that I am sure of" Natasha assured (Mag's Media Company) "Good morning, ma'am" Carissa started "And what is so good about the morning? Why do I hea
"I know you had said to let you handle this on your own and I respect that but the truth is since the day we found out, I didn't want to let you out of sight so I had people follow you and your wife around..." Mr. Davies explains "Where is she?" Gonzalez interrupted "She has been and is currently at the Williams family residence" Silently and in shock, Gonzalez stands up to his feet. "Are you sure about this information?" He asks turning to Mr. Davies "Sure as anything" Mr. Davies assured "What do you think could have gone wrong? Do you think she is being held against her will?" Gonzalez asked, wanting some form of assuredness that Natasha would not want to run away from him. "I think that she would have made an effort to try to reach you" It is true what they say about love for she will be your biggest weakness and your biggest strength. "What do you suggest I do?" Gonzalez asked, confused "Wait for..." Mr. Davies started "Wait? I know my wife is hiding possibly away from
(The Williams Home) "Ma, I am not comfortable sitting here all day, laying around. It's not going to help me win the contract" Natasha complained "Well, didn't you say you know the CEO of the company?" Mrs. Williams asked "I did say that" Natasha agreed"Then getting this contract should be a walkover for you, right Sylvester?" Mrs. Williams asked turning to Sylvester "I know him doesn't mean I shouldn't work hard for it" Natasha explained "Oh, it's easier then. It's a he" Mrs. Williams admonished smiling "I can take it from here if this is too much for you to handle. I am sure I can get us the contract as well" Sylvester chipped in "What are you all gibbering about when Gonzalez is trending in the news?" Mr. Williams yelled "Why is he trending?" A fearful Natasha asked "For only the wrong reasons of course," Mrs. Williams giggled, tapping her phone "Let me see that," Natasha says and she rushed over to where her mother was "Oh my God, this is not good. I need to see Gonza
(The Gonzalez's Home) "I'm sorry you had to have that encounter with my mum. Terrible as it is, I must admit that she isn't the best mother. I am ashamed to admit that I never thought of it like that, I had no idea I was being fooled, I easily believed anything that I was told" Natasha admitted "Honey, I have told you times without a number to stop apologizing. She is your mother, how were you supposed to know? I wouldn't know too, I mean Id didn't know until she visited me. Mr. Davies confirmed it" Gonzalez replied "Mr. Davies? Who is he?" Natasha inquired "Oh, my boss at the new company. See, then out he has eyes all around the city" Gonzalez explained "And should we not be scared?" Natasha asked, worried "Sacred? No" "You can't be so sure about someone who has eyes all over the city" Natasha warned "I promise you, he is not like that. We are Gonzalez assured, trying to encourage Natasha and avoid negative thoughts "Speaking of which, how is work going? And what's it with a
Gonzalez's pov “Finally, it is the weekend,” I said giggling and excited about it. One of the most amazing things about my new job is that I get to have the weekend to myself, this was not the same with all the other places I have worked. I never had free time, no, not since I lost my parents. I worked from dawn to dusk, approximately 15 hours a day, Monday to Sunday with no rest.I am grateful for Mr. Davies as he seems to be very understanding. He had paid me yesterday and said I had the weekend to myself. I have never been so unbothered about my job or its pay, this was going to be a long run. I would work here for as many months as he wanted me to work until we can get to the root of this. One thing I have learned in life is, good things never last.Almost immediately, I felt guilty. I have been so excited about the new job that I seem to not have thought about my parents enough or used the extra time to fulfilling the promise I had made to find and avenge their killer. Believe
