The moment Cassandra said those words, Brenda’s face soured.Brenda was stuck in between the devil and the red sea.Clarine was her very good friend, no other person had ever understood her like Clarine would.In fact, the best definition for both if then was calling them sisters. Other than that, no other words qualified best.As for Derek, although he seems to have nothing, he has been one of the best to call a partner, best friend, and even best confidant.Who then would she stick to, Derek or her best friend?"Mom, what are you saying?” Clarine voiced immediately.Even Clarine stepped forward to lecture her mom. It was true that she shouldn’t have said that.“What! Isn't it right to teach her the right approach to life as a dutiful elder should?""Besides, you should always watch the company you keep! I don’t mind you being friends with Brenda, but I’m really afraid that this piece of trash she calls a husband will later ruin her, and I don't want it to affect my precious daughter.
At first, Derek and Brenda thought that these people who got out of the cars were practically the end of it, as such they had no reason to be scared.But on the contrary, this was just the beginning.In a short while, the cars started driving toward them one after another.The cars were Maybach, Bentley, BMW and several others.One after the other, the cars rolled to a stop as dozens of besuited and sunglasses-wearing bodyguards stood on both sides of the Maybach which seemed to lead the trail.The doors were slowly pushed open, and out walked a man, dressed formally and walked with a steady gait. He straightened his suit, with a bow, he said.“Miss Reid, Master Smith sends his regards.” Brenda looked at the man with confusion in her eyes.Derek gripped his wife’s hand tightly, to make sure he provided her with some warmth and comfort.The man before them was Baoba. To say it nicely, he was the adopted son of the Smiths.To be blunt, he was just the Smith family’s dog. He was an or
Does the Smiths have a shocking secret?Mrs. Reid and Morphie had their eyes shot toward Mr. Reid. Although both of them were quite arrogant about the slap he meted out to Morphie, yet they seemed to be surprisedMrs. Reid was so confident he had nothing new to say. As she believed she was in charge.Therefore, she practically knows all about the Smiths.With a sneer, she asked. "Old man, go on, let's hear from you. So what secrets, are you trying to spill? It had better made some sense."’Mr. Reid couldn't help but shake his head at first. " Fine, I know how much you detest that girl, but I promise you, you will regret your actions, sooner or later.""Both of you I mean," Mr. Reid pointed at both mother and son."Charles! Can you go straight to the point or i have you kicked out of my presence?"“Fine, I won’t talk about my daughter. I’ll cut to the chase and talk about the Smiths. Five months earlier, the Smith family’s head. Draco was diagnosed with colorectal cancer. The last st
Even the audience were patiently on edge while they ogled over the game between Draco and Derek with kin expectation.However, they all knew who the winner would be, so they felt Derek was only buying time but insisting on continuing the game.Each move of the chess pieces felt like a stab to Brenda’s heart, and each time, she felt like offering Derek a slap out of the seat.Another time she's looking at him as a senseless person after a long while.Although she barely knew about chess, but she was familiar with some basics and could tell with the way Draco played that he was an experienced player.His moves although calm, but they were brisk and quick.It gave only one meaning. 'Victory was surely in his hands.Painfully, she found it hard to warp her mind around the reason why Derek would accept to such challenge at first. Even after several warnings from her.She crossed her hands to he chest nervously, as she thought.‘Initially, it was much easier to settle the matter. I would’ve
Brenda's eyes fluttered twice in surprise. "Mummy!" In a split of seconds, Brenda could hardly believe her ears. For the first time in many days, she referred to her as mum.'I'm I not her biological daughter? How can she not close an eye to my misery, not even care about my survival and even spout such words?’“Mom, don’t you think you’re going overboard with your words?” Brenda was pushed to ask.Brenda painstakingly said after listening to those harsh words come from Mrs Reid.Immediately, Morphie roared in objection.“Overboard? Brenda, watch how you’re speaking to mom. Was she wrong about what she said earlier! I doubt if she was.Obviously from the very beginning, it was you who decided to create this trouble for the Reid family. Do you know how many families in Dominican look down on us because you married this piece of trash?”“Brenda, you were clearly betrothed to Kaden, but you chose to marry someone else. Don’t you think it’s your fault that you offended the Smiths and
The closer Autumn got, the more choking the fragrance seemed to be to Derek.The fragrance emitted a sweet smell of strawberry odor, which was quite Intoxicating and strong enough as it nearly threw Derek off-guard as he got dizzy.As much as he tried to split the eyes open, the more blurred his visions got constant and stronger, that he almost lost a total control of his mind.At intervals, he shook his head, while he tried to break free of that pain.Whereas Autumn had a sweet amile plastered all over her face. She chuckled wickedly and finally found her way to sit beside him.Initially, the pair had been sitting opposite each other. But with Autumn, right next to him, it was inevitable for the pair to touch each other.“Auntie Autumn what have you done to me?" Derek stubbornly clasped his head in between his hands to get a total control of himself.Autumn chuckled mockingly, lifted his chin wiry a finger and sneered. “What’s wrong? Aren’t we relatives? Why do you mind?”Hurriedl
The manager of Tesla motors was taken aback, same as everyone else in the showroom.No one had ever believed in their wildest imagination that Derek who was being spoken of as a good for nothing son in law could find his way to a whole Tesla showroom without shame.All gaze were fixed on him in disdain, even the manager who was earlier on nice, drew across his brow creases in disgust.In the next minute, he took no time before he metted out the next order."With due respect, sir, leave! Now!”Derek also had never in a million years expected that the manager who had been very kind and friendly just seconds earlier attempt to chase him away after getting his identity linked to be the Reid family’s son-in-law.Derek was thrown into a slight daze, hence as much as he tried to recall the statement he got glued to a spot." Are you deaf! Nuisance!" Another degrading word fell from the manager.Derek straightened up his clothes, took the courage to speak out.'It's not right to treat people
One thing settled, the next was obviously getting real convincing evidence for Brenda.Before he purchased the vehicle, he thought he would eventually make up something tangible, but now his brain was just as empty as something else.Derek knew his wife well, she's so intelligent and wouldn't just fall for anything over this, except it's quite concrete.Brenda hummed and walked out to have some air at the balcony.She had barely settled at the balcony when she spotted the Tesla vehicle parked in front of the house.Confusion arose in her mind at first, but she wasnt quick to think that the person behind the wheel was Derek."Hello, is there any one you seek for?" Brenda said as she approached the vehicle.At each step closer she was, Derek felt like turning himself into the soil.He was yet to get an answer as regards the inevitable question.Finally, she was right before the vehicle and at the same time surprised to find Derek behind the steering wheel.With both hands in the air, sh
