2025-01-21 03:37:55Franco stood at the banquet with flowers in his hands as he watched his wife walk to the stage.
He has a very BIG secret he has been keeping from her for four years now and plans to share it with her on this special day but first, he wants her to call him to the stage as her husband before he makes this special announcement to her... "Go, Elena!" Franco cheered up with the hope that Elena would definitely call him up to the stage as her husband. "So, Mrs Froston, can you tell the masses how you managed to win this contract with GLC?" The hostess said as Elena looked down at the guests. The first person she gave an ignorant glare was Franco. "I can't wait to see Elena's face when she learns that I am the person behind all her contracts and all the wealth her family possessed..." Franco whispered to himself, smiling gently at Elena as if he won the lottery. Then, Elena's voice jolted him from his thoughts. "I bagged this contract today by my sincere hard work and dedication to Froston Empire. But I couldn't have done all these without the help of someone..." Hearing this, Franco started smiling! He can't wait to be called Elena's biggest supporter! "The one who has been there for me for three years now. The person who made me experience the true meaning of Love! " "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome on stage, the man behind my smile, Mr..." She said and Franco started walking out. "....Mr Edgar Cayce!" Elena said, and Franco stopped walking immediately. "Edgar?" His lips muttered as he took a look at the stage and saw a man hugging Elena with a smile on his face. He was none other than Edgar Cayce, Elena's ex-boyfriend. But what is he doing here? "What is going on here, Elena?" Franco yelled, clenching the flower in his hands. His statement made everywhere silent as they all looked down to see the Trash talking! "You are very much aware that I am your husband! We've been married for four years now, Elena! You ought to introduce me as your Husband so why are you introducing this man here as your biggest SHOT?" He added hastily but someone gave him an excruciating slap instantly! Turning to his left, it was his mother-in-law, Rita Froston! "You useless live-in boy! How dare you refer to Mr Cayce as a nobody? She yelled at him, pointing her fingers at his face. "If not because of Mr Cayce, you'd have been in the Car Wash, washing a Cheap Car by now!" Rita said, her tone expressing her true definition - LUXURY But she wasn't wrong when she called Franco a live-in Nobody. Four years ago, Michael Froston, Elena's uncle, brought Franco from the street and said he wanted him to be Elena's husband. Ever since then, he has been married to Elena and also living with her in her parents' house. The moment Michael Froston died, they started treating Franco as a slave. Making him do the house chores and even become a Manny to Elena's niece. Out of the whole Froston, Elena treated Franco differently but now, she's introducing another man as her husband. "Listen, Mom..." "Shut up and listen to me!" Rita cut him off instantly! "There is no way you will be ruining this special day! So get your useless ass out of this banquet!" "I'm sorry, Mother, but I refuse to leave here until I reveal to Elena that I've been the one sponsoring all her contracts for the past four years! I've been the one connecting her to many big shots within and outside Otlanto!" Someone threw the ball on Franco's head instantly. He looked and saw Elena. She stepped down, walking towards him with her hands connected with Edgar's. "Did I just hear you say that you've been the one sponsoring all my contracts?" She said and Franco turned to her instantly. "Yes! I've been the one helping you out. I even made Froston Empire fall under the top ten Loyal Corp in Otlanto" Franco said, forwarding the flowers in his hand to her. "Look, I even planned to surprise you with this flower and a dinner at..." Before Franco could complete his utterance, Elena dragged the flowers forcefully from him and threw them away! "I'm done with your nonsense, Franco! I'm not ready for this marriage. I want a Divorce!" She yelled and brought out a document from her purse "These are Divorce papers! I'm ready to live my life with the man I love and no longer interested in staying with you as my husband!" "Sign these divorce papers and leave this banquet right now!" She said and flung the Divorce papers to Franco's face.

Franco couldn't believe his eyes! Divorce was the last thing he ever thought to receive this night and all this happened because of one person - Edgar Cayce!"You're divorcing me all because of Edgar?" Franco challenged, dragging the Divorce papers from his papers. "What makes him more special than I am, Elena? I am way more better and Influential than he is...it was just a matter of time until I reveal that to you..." Everyone bursted into immediate laughter following Franco's words. They couldn't believe that he was calling himself Influential when he was nothing more than a live-in son-in-law who did all the chores at home and even babysits his sister-in-law's child."I wish those words you said would come to pass, Franco. But unfortunately, you cannot even be rich in your seventh life!" Elena said sarcastically, before caressing Edgar's hands."Edgar here has been our biggest supporter in this Empire. All the contracts we bagged with international Companies are all because of him

Rita's command didn't make any impression on Franco who stood confidently before Edgar, giving him a look which explained "Do your worst!"Noticing that Franco wasn't doing what he was asked to do, Mara walked to him with her stylish Gen-Z attitude."Why aren't you on your knees pleading for mercy, huh?" She asked, "Is it until you meet your dead end that you'd realize that there is no need to act all brave here?""She's right, Franco!" Elena spoke up after her sister. "Edgar here is a billion times more powerful than you are. Why don't you put your ego aside and lick his feet? You're not even influential to begin with so what's the need of your pride?"Seeing how much Elena and Mara spoke well about him, Edgar was already feeling too big of himself. He put his hands in his pocket and smiled contradictorily at Franco."You heard them right, Franco. Why don't you be an obedient dog and lick my feet? It's not too much to ask, because you're filthy Poor!""I refuse to kneel before my fel

"Are you surprised by my Magnificent Skills?" Franco teased, stepping closer to Edgar who started walking backward in fright. He was still recovering from how Franco managed to take three MUSCULAR Men down all by himself.As Edgar continued walking backward, Elena walked in front of Franco, preventing him from making further movement."What now, Elena?" Franco asked, smiling angrily. "You asked me to lick his feet, didn't you? That's what I'm about to do, allow me to do it in peace!""That's enough, Franco" Elena said, her voice echoing in seriousness. "It doesn't matter how you learnt about those martial skills but that doesn't change the status of how things were between us...""What are you trying to say?" Franco asked, getting back to his serious self."Let's get Divorced, Franco!" She said, picking the Divorce papers from the floor."Divorce again?" Franco's head swung repeatedly. He had honestly thought that Elena would give him a listening ear following the fact that he fought

Looking up at the epitome of beauty, tall, white-skinned and slim, Franco was shut of words.There was a time the rumours spread that she was the most beautiful in the world but after that, nobody ever saw her again."What is the problem, Franco?" She asked, jolting Franco from his thoughts.“She even knows my name!” Franco muttered and Muna's voice spoke up once more."I know it took you by surprise to see me here. Well, I'm Muna Scott, from the rich Scott family. I doubt you don't know me" Muna said, leaving Franco with many questions.If Muna is addressing him as Franco, that means she doesn't know that he is the Ruffian Lord."What happened, are you surprised to see me here or you don't wanna agree to what I said?" Muna asked"I should be the one asking you that question, Muna!" Franco said, crossing his arms as he took a look at the busy road opposite him. "You don't know who I am and you're already proposing to me? If I must ask, why?""You don't jump to conclusions, Franco!" Mu

Franco and Muna had their Marriage Registration done. While still wondering why Muna had married a nobody like him, he received an invitation from her."Get ready, you're coming with me to my homecoming party!" She said to him, walking straight to her car.Did he just hear her right?"Homecoming party?" Franco asked, walking hastily after Muna.When Muna got to the car, she put on her seatbelt before turning to Franco."Yes, homecoming party!" "My family arranged to announce to everyone about my return and also let them know that I am the new CEO of Scott Empire!" Hearing this, Franco smiled gently. So, Muna is the new CEO of Scott Empire. It'd be easier using her to deal with his ex-wife."Any problem?" Muna asked curiously, gazing at Franco whose face was rather excited than moody. He responded that there was no problem but she spoke up instantly "Mind you, Franco..." She cautioned "My family is way more influential than you may think. I'd advise you to keep your mouth shut and le

Muna's words surprised them all. Elena dragged her hand off Muna's grip, while still staring in disbelief at the beautiful damsel claiming to be Franco's Wife."Excuse me, Miss Beautiful!" Edgar said, unable to control his urge to speak to the beautiful lady standing before him. "What husband were you referring to, because the only man standing before you is ME. So, which other man are you referring to?""I'm sure you all aren't blind, are you?" Muna responded, turning her look off Edgar. "Franco here is My Husband" She added and they all burst into immediate laughter. Even the guests couldn't stop their laughter from being audible."Your husband?" Rita ridiculed "Please check very well to confirm if it is the same Franco that I know that you're referring to as your husband!" She added sarcastically.Muna ignored her and walked to Franco, gripping his fists softly. "Nobody should ever dare to speak to Franco how it pleases them!""Excuse me?" Elena said angrily, "Just because you won

Edgar couldn't stand watching Elena kneeling before Muna talk more of kneeling before a worthless nobody like Franco. He walked to where Elena was kneeling and pulled her up. "There is no freaking way I'm gonna let my fiancee knee before a useless Punk like Franco, Never!" He said angrily, his eyes fixed on Franco's face. In response to what he just said, Franco spoke up to him, "I never forced anyone to knee before me. They know the benefits of kneeling and asking for my mercy!" "I don't command people, Power and Wealth do all that for me!" "And who made you think you have that so called power?" Edgar said in retaliation, his voice echoing in anger. "Just because you managed to get married to the CEO of Scott Empire doesn't give you that right!" He added. "Remember very well that you also married a billionaire in the past but what did you serve as?" Edgar wouldn't stop talking angrily "You married a billionaire but you still ended up a miserable and worthlessness live-in hus

Franco forced a heavy smirk as he stared at the 27 years old, Eddie Watson, tall and model-bodied, Eddie stood at the exit door with 20 armed men. Seeing this, Muna feared for Franco's life. “Please, Franco! You don't have to engage in an argument with him. Allow me take care of this!” Muna tried to put Franco off from facing Eddie who was extremely mad but Franco turned deaf Ears. Before Muna could add more words, Eddie's voice echoed. “You dared to raise your filthy hands on my brother, huh? You will definitely pay with your life!” He said, his eyes fixed on Franco who wasn't freaked or scared. “Men!” Eddie yelled “Attack this Bullshit here and make sure you don't stop beating him until he stop breathing!” Muna turned to Franco, her heart racing non-stop. She shook her head as she tried touching Franco who was determined not to move forward but Franco ignored her and walked forward. “He is not even scared of dying!” A guest whispered audibly and another added “A fool at

Franco thought he had heard it all until Edgar responded to Mara's words.“I know that I am the father of your baby but I still know what my parental responsibility is! I have so many things on my shoulders and I wouldn't want your sister to be aware of our relationship. At least, not now that I am about to take over Froston Empire!”Franco scoffed. Everything was unbelievable but sadly, they are all true. Edgar wants nothing but Elena's property. He was once a rich man but even pretending to be rich again hasn't made his plan a successful one, so marrying Elena and making her transfer all of her properties to his name would definitely make a do.“So, what are you planning to do? I hope you are aware that Froston Empire is into a big loan and we need so much amount to pay off such a loan!” Mara said to Edgar, recollecting Franco's brain. “I know that this marriage is nothing to you. I believe that you are only marrying my sister because of her money. After taking over all of her prope

Franco remained silent. He didn't react nor did he say anything to them in response.Mara was surprised. So, she is right? Franco's sudden silence proved it all– he is a spy indeed.Understanding this properly, Mara whispered to Edgar.“We were right when we said that this man here is a spy! Look at him, he is so timid and it's obvious that he is scared of that mask pulling off his nose!”Edgar turned to Franco, keeping his voice as low as possible. “I will advise you to open that mask of yours and let us see what you have got behind that mask!”“Refusal to do that will result in another problem and I promise, you won't like what I am bringing to the table….”“I am not a spy! I am only a worker here. I don't know you both and nobody sent me here” Franco made his voice so innocent but that didn't convince Edgar and Mara.It seemed like his time was up. Edgar dragged Franco's collar, raising the attention of other customers.“Since you don't want to pull off that mask, I will make you p

With the images right before his face, Franco was astounded. He could only smile, finding it very hard to believe them.The image had Edgar and Mara having lunch in a VIP lounge. If he is not wrong, Mara doesn't have any connection with Edgar. The only relationship they share is Edgar's closeness to Elena so how on earth were they in that type of s setting seeming to have a cool conversation? But the images are clear.Another one had the both of them smiling at each other. That doesn't seem like normal pictures. There is no way they could be having a casual meal together.They seemed so attached but Franco was still baffled until he saw the image where Mara was feeding Edgar.“This is unbelievable!” Franco muttered to himself. “Has Edgar been cheating on Elena? But how long has this been going on?” He collected his phone and dialed Dave's number “Hello…” Dave answered the call.“When were the pictures taken? And every information you supplied here, are they legit?” Franco asked,

Franco left straight to the Scott Mansion. He prayed nobody saw the task which he had left uncompleted before going to meet Edgar.But his hope didn't go as it seemed. When he arrived home, he was welcomed with the bucket of water flung across his face.Looking up, it was none other person but Granny. She stood there, glaring at him with a pissed expression, clutching her walk-stick tightly.“Where are you coming from, Franco?” Granny yelled.“I had some important tasks to complete….’“What is more important than doing the chores, huh? I gave you this task to complete as a punishment for your nonchalant behavior the other day but you neglected it and went out to do what pleases you. How disrespectful!” Granny didn't mind her age, she was still active in terms of scolding people she didn't like, especially someone like Franco.Franco, on the other hand, couldn't say a word. He could only keep his face bowed before the old Lady.“I am sorry, Granny…”“Sorry for yourself!” Granny cut hi

“Yes, Edgar and I are getting married this Saturday and you are invited!” Elena's voice stunned from nowhere. Franco looked up, seeing her, his agitation increased.He remembered instantly how Dave would call him and ask him which company he would like Elena to be partnering with.Franco remembered how many millions of dollars he spent on Elena; how he had endured all the pain of easily revealing his Identity to her and how he also made her company in the world chart as number three most loyal.As his brain accelerated all these taunting memories, Elena passed a glass of juice to Franco, jolting him out of his thoughts.“Have it!” She said, pushing the glass closer to him. “ I doubt you don't need it at this moment. I mean,who wouldn't it be so thirsty after hearing that his previous cute ex-wife is finally getting married again…”“Did you both invite me here to tell me about your marriage?” Franco asked, cutting Elena off.“Yes, Franco!” Edgar responded to Franco's query. “As Elena'

Though the party ended on a happy note, after Edgar and Elena left, Franco still had some questions to answer at home.“Where do you think you are going, huh?” Granny's voice echoed in the lounge after they had all returned from the banquet, stopping Franco from walking to his room.“I'm going up, to my room…”“To your room?” Granny asked, hitting her walk-stick on the ground. “Even after what happened today, you still have the Effrontery to sleep? What type of a fool are you?”Franco remained quiet. He wouldn't want to get into a fight with the old lady.“You always make it difficult for us in this family. You go about humiliating us everywhere you go. You just want to stain the hell out of the name of this family!” Granny's voice kept echoing in rage as she clutched to her walk-stick tightly, refusing to even look at Muna who was standing beside her.“After everything which happened today, Franco, I came to a decision!” Granny said, releasing the gravity at which she held the walk-s

“Leo Armstrong?” The guests have heard that name before.Even Muna. She was shocked after hearing the name “Leo Armstrong”Leo used to be a very good partner of theirs but after some time, nobody ever heard from him again. He was rumored to have left the country so what is it that she is hearing that he now owns Narvis Corp.The same company he was rumored to have sold to Edgar Cayce?“And what's so special about that?” Elena was quick to defend her boyfriend. “Everyone in this place knows that Edgar here bought Narvis Corp from Leo Armstrong. So, it is not new that Narvis was once Leo's but now Edgar's….”“That's a LIE!” A voice echoed from behind, Cutting Elena's words off.They were all surprised to see the person who had made the remark. He was none other than Leo Armstrong.As Leo stood at the banquet exit with his hands stuck in his pocket.

Edgar stood there without even uttering a word. It was so unbelievable to see a big name like Edgar, being called out as an ordinary Receptionist.Rita found it so hard to believe what they said about Edgar. She walked out in defense, referring to the Director“Are you sure you didn't take the wrong person for the right person?” She asked, her eyes all shoned out in vexation. “Because my soon to be son-in-law here is so rich to even apply for a mere job like this. He has his own company and he makes billions there. The digital department who arranged the profiles must have taken Mr Cayce for the wrong person and inserted his image there….”“Is that so?” Franco asked immediately after Rita. “You try so much to defend your precious son-in-law who is nothing but a liar, thereby disregarding the evidence before you!”“Why don't you take a look at him and ask him for a response or at least to defend himself from the accusations. Why is he keeping quiet like we are in a graveyard?”Edgar fi

“Franco!” Mara was the first to sight him.“What is Franco doing here?” Rita asked, glaring at Franco in full contempt. “Come on, Lena!” She turned to Elena, giving her a slight push. “Aren't you going to do anything about that Franco? You are very much aware of whatever event he steps his legs in, always end up Bad! You have to do something…”“Okay, Mom! I will go speak with Franco. Today is a special day for all of us and I wouldn't want him to be called my ex-husband!”Elena concluded and walked to Franco who was having a sip of his alcohol beside the bartender. “Franco…” Elena grabbed Franco's attention. “We need to talk!” “What do you have to say to me, huh?” Franco asked, giving Elena some ignorant glare.“I will just make it quick, Franco. I don't want you in this event tonight, you will just mess up everything and our marriage is still known to people. I wouldn't want them to point their fingers at me and call me your ex-wife!” Franco was amazed after hearing this. He chuc
