CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY TWO “Hands up where I can see them” she heard him say again and she obeyed without complaining. She heard an engine roar and in no time, the whole place lit up. It seems they had put on the generator. She cursed as she saw the person pointing the gun at her. It was the man from earlier, the one she had not killed and she regretted that decision right now. She should have just killed him, but it was too late. Sb couldn't turn back the hand of time. She raised both of her hands up in the air and she saw another shooter come out from the back. It was Danny and it seems like the woman recognized her too because she smirked when she saw her. Tyla gave her a bored look, she had this haughty smile on her face. “What a surprise Tyla, looks like Owen couldn't man up and come by himself, so he sent you instead. That's funny” she said,her smirk not leaving her face. “Well, he didn't seem you worthy enough” Tyla replied with a calm smile and Danny cocked
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY THREE She never thought Gabriel would think of coming here in this lifetime. “What the hell is Gabriel doing here?” She asked no one in particular “Tell him I'm on my way” she told the girl before going back in and she heard the girl leave. She went back into her room and she wiped the tears off her face and applied a little bit of makeup to shield her swollen under eyes. She came out after a little time and she went downstairs to see Gabriel. He came with his assistant, his handbag as she addressed him before. “To what do I owe this pleasure?” She asked as she walked down the stairs majestically. Gabriel and the man raised their heads up simultaneously to look at her. “Tamara” Gabriel called and she cocked a brow at him. “What is it Mr man?” She asked “How's Daniel?” He asked and she chuckled loudly. “Oh, you remembered to ask of him today. That's weird, did something happen to Owen? Huh? Best father of the year” She said, her voi
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY FOUR Rina sat on the floor in the bathroom, she had left the shower on so she could cry and shout without anyone outside noticing even though she knew they wouldn't notice since the walls were soundproof and she had shut the door damn tight. She couldn't take Tyla's voice off her mind, the statement repeated itself severally in her ears and she tried to shut it off, but it wasn't working out. Of all the times, now that she had finally fallen for him, now that she had decided to be good, live a good life and make kids with him. She laughed warily. It seems fate has its own way of making decisions. She had finally become a first wife without even asking for it. Never in her wildest dreams would she think that something like this would actually happen. She didn't grow up in a polygamous family so she wouldn't want her kid to grow up in one as she knew about the issues that always resulted. She got under the running shower with her clothes on
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY FIVE They had been standing for the past ten minutes and Danny had not said a word to them even after everything Tyla had said. The guards had stopped banging the door and Rose Mary surmised that they had come to a conclusion that banging it would not make her open it. She had a cunny smirk on her face. “What do you say Danny? Just a word from you and those men outside will back down. You can end this, you alone can end it” Tyla continued, hoping she could convince her even though her hope was very low. “So, I should let him go? Is that what you are trying to say” She asked, her gun still pointing at Owen where he knelt on the floor. “Yes, and we can all go home in Peace” Rose Mary replied this time. “Here you are, talking of peace and still having a gun pointed at me. How peaceful that looks” Danny taunted. Owen looked between Rose and Tyla and he gave her a slow nod. She gave Danny a thorough look before gently bringing the gun
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY SIX “I shouldn't have fought with her” Kate said, as she lay in bed with Mario in her room. She had thought of what happened between her and her mother earlier and now, she was feeling a little bit guilty. She could clearly understand the kind of pain and confusion her mother was in, and yelling at her that way was like pouring salt on an open wound. She had to sleep over it to realize that. Mario shifted on the bed and she understood he was trying to sit up. She sat up and he did too. They sat facing each other and he gave her a look that said ‘I told you so’ . “Don't give me that look” Kate said as she bent her face. She was already having a bad day without getting out of bed. She stood up from the bed and stripped to the bathroom. She washed her face and cleaned her teeth before coming out. She met him in the same position she had left him and she gave him a questioning look. “Aren't you getting out of bed?” She asked. “Hell, I am
CHAPTER ONE"Let's make a toast to our new company's milestone!" A matured female voice was heard, and what followed after was the sound of glass cups clanging.The woman who had just spoken was Maria Steele, and the whole family were gathered there to celeberate their new company's achievement."I can't believe we managed to generate a total profit worth $2 million dollars for this month." Another lady's voice was heard as she sipped wine from her glass cup. The woman was Amanda Donovan, a good friend and business partner of the Steele's family."At first, sales this month was kinda slow, but i am glad we managed to emerge victorious and next month we would make far more than this." Maria spoke in a joyful tone as she took another sip.Even if the Elite Company that was run by the Steeles wasn't one of the big companies in Purple Hills city, it wasn't one of the smallest either. The Steeles family are truly doing a good job in making the company flourish despite all other big compan
CHAPTER TWO"What do you mean pick up the trash later? He can begin his job right now." Amanda then turned her cup upside down and spilled her wine on the tiled floor."Hey, trash, take off your rag-like cloth and clean this mess off." Amanda declared in a mocking tone.Hearing the words of Amanda, the whole crowd chimed in with laughter, while Owen just stood there with clenched fists as they kept on ridiculing him for no reason at all."What are you doing just standing there? Take off your rag and clean the mess already." Tom roared in a mocking tone."Don't worry, loser, you wouldn't be doing it for free! Here you go!" Tom then slid his hand into his pocket and tossed a single dollar note to Owen's feet. "I am sure you haven't eaten nothing today, use that to get yourself a snack or something." Tom added."That's enough, all of you!" Kate couldn't take it anymore. "Stop speaking to my husband like this!""Stay mute, Kate. One more word and i shall send you packing to go stay with t
CHAPTER THREE "Good evening, young master." A deep male's voice sounded from behind.Hearing the words of the man a puzzled exression appeared on Owen's face as he turned around to see a man not older than fourty and clad in a striking black suit."Long time no see,Young master Owen." The man spoke further with a slight smile."Albert?" Owen blurted out after glaring at the man for few minutes and finally recognised him."Yeah, glad you still remember me after all these years." Albert remarked in a respectful tone."B-but how? Aren't you suppose to be dead?" Owen stuttered a bit as he took few steps backwards in confusion.Albert was his father's right hand man back then and he was also on the plane that crashed years ago. How then was he here?"I will explain, do not worry." Albert smiled a bit after witnessing Owen's shocked expression. "You see, not only am i alive but your father is also." Albert informed.Owen was taken aback after hearing the words of Albert, and he doubted the
