CHAPTER TWENTY- FOUR It was no wonder they had guards crawling around the place like some money vault. The whole place screamed luxury. The living room was large enough to contain a thousand people and the floor to ceiling windows made the room more attractive. Maria directed her to one of the seats and she sat down when she was asked to. Maria had not forgotten to remind her that she should only do as she was told and she shouldn’t be faster than her shadows. “What should I offer you dear?” Esme asked facing Kate but Kate shook her head in response “there would be no need for that ma, I had my fill before coming here” Kate declined respectfully and Esme inly smiled in return. Her love for the girl only increased more. She prayed within her that her son would accept her. And speaking of the son, where was he? They heard some footsteps from the staircase and as if they were on remote control, they all turned at once to the stairs. Kate was awestruck by his beauty. He ha

CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE Owen was in his office as he addressed the crowd that had been presented to him. He had asked his father to arrange a security detail for him but instead, his father had invited lots of men and he had suggested that Iwen out all of them through differed tests and at the end of it, he would have the best men selected. Owen was as satisfied with the idea and he had asked his personal assistant to invite them into his office. They were about twenty five in number and although he would end up hiring a security company, he neede a handful of men who were strong and enough and trustworthy. “You all know why you are here so I do not really need to go into details right?” Owen asked and they all replied “yes sir”. He sighed before progressing “So, you are twenty five in number but seeing as I can’t employ the lot of you, I would only be hiring ten out of you all”. “So, I can’t just pick any one of you so I have come to the conclusion that a test would be undergo

CHAPTER TWENTY SIX “What do you mean?” Kate’s asked and Jake chuckled “we both know that this would be a political marriage, one of convenience and not necessarily out of love, so I ask again, what do you have to offer me? Kate was clearly offended by his words but she knew that as much as it sounded offensive, he was speaking the truth. “I am not sure I understand what you are trying to get at Mr Jake” Kate said with her head held high. She wasn’t going to let this man intimidate her “Ok, allow me to go into details. When my mother called for me to return home, I already knew it was about this marriage stuff because she has been doing this shit over the years and it was kinda getting tiring. So, I had concluded that I would do her bidding this time in order to put an end to the endless disturbance, but it would be a girl of my choice and not her chain of eligible spinsters. I would make my own decision. But it seemed I had not informed her early enough because she had c

CHAPTER TWENTY SEVEN Kate had left the Riverdale’s mansion and was standing at the front of the house, waiting for her ride. They had offered to allow a driver take her home but Kate had humbly declined the offer. She needed some time to think and she couldn’t do it when everywhere smelled like them. She felt like she had made a grave mistake by coming here. Although, the woman had treated her with respect, her son had done the exact opposite. He had insulted her family and even downgraded her. No wonder his mother had chosen her, she knew she had patience and would be able to endure his nonsense. He was rude, foul mouthed, arrogant and Even proud. No woman would like to spend time or even get married to a man like that. His face card was check but his attitude was not that great. And what did he mean when he said it was high time he had a chat with Owen? “Pheww” she sighed. Today started off badly and her mood was already ruined before day even started fully. This was a

CHAPTER TWENTY EIGHT Maria was shocked by Owen’s words, she had thought that he was the mastermind behind it but it seemed that she had concluded too fast. “I do not understand what you mean by that Owen. Would you mind to enlighten me?” “Have you not seen the news or are you trying to play dumb with me?” Owen asked with a tilt of his head and Maria felt sweat on her palms. This was not how she pictured their meeting would be but she choosed not to be intimidated by him. “Well, I should be the one asking you that Owen. How come the stocks you bought from us, just a few days ago is being rumored to be sold at half the price? What games are you trying to play if I may ask?” Owen huffed “and why the hell would I sell something I bought for half the price knowing fully well that I would be losing a lot of money. We’re talking about millions of dollars here ma’am” Owen said with a calm face Maria pondered on it for a while before nodding her head “yeah I know, I had finali

CHAPTER TWENTY NINE Chris was fidgeting in his office as he knew the implications of what he had done, Maria was not to be taken lightly, although he was also a force to reckon with, he had touched Maria’s tail this time and he knew she wouldn’t react lightly. The company was Maria’s life and he had joked with her life so he was on high alert. Although it wasn’t entirely his fault, Owen had asked him to do it. At first, Owen had asked him to sell the stocks at half the price but he had called him back later that day to spread rumors that the stocks were sold instead as this would be bad business for Maria. He had managed to cover his trace but he was still not at ease because he knew he wouldn’t be able to hide the truth for long. He was still in his train of thoughts when he got a call and he could see that it was from the person whom he had asked to spread the news. He picked it up immediately “yes?” “Someone is asking for the news to be brought down” the other perso

CHAPTER THIRTY Owen still edo is seat as he heard the voice from behind him. He needed not be informed that it was the person he was here for, James Dortmund. He turned to look at the man, and he concluded within him that the reason why the secret passage door was large was because of this man’s size and not because of the other workers. He was bulky and well built and he had a stoic expression on his face, Owen knew from that look that he wasn’t welcome, but he choose not to be intimidated. He was middle aged and his hair was a mixture of black and grey and he was dressed in a white tuxedo shirt coupled with a fine black denim jean and a casual slipper. Owen observed him for a while as different scenes filled his mind as he thought of what would happen if things go south. His guards would not make it on time and before he would be able to raise any alarm, he would be long dead. He knew he was on unsteady grounds so he had to move cautiously. “I asked a question, young

CHAPTER THIRTY ONE Owen was led out of the room by the guards and as he was overjoyed and he whistled away in excitement. Although he had been positive that James would accept his proposal, he had been skeptical when the man asked him that question but it seemed like the heavens were in his side. Everything worked out in his favour and he had succeeded in attaining the shares. The guards led him through the hallway they they had arrived in the first place and the door did not seem to reduce the curiosity it gave him in the first place. He looked at the door with The door seemed . They led him to the sitting room where they had taken him from in the first place and they left him there to continue on his own. Owen had just walked into the sitting room and he saw Veeda walk out of one of the rooms at the corner and he let his eyes wander in search of Rina, his eyes caught sight of her as she sat on one of the chairs, her eyes on her phone. It seemed like she had something imp

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 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 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 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 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 ONE “Unfortunately, I can't. You have to listen to me” Mario yelled back and that earned him a glare from Kate. “I do not regret it because no matter how many times I look at it, all I can see is the day you walked through that door and then the moment you agreed to marry me” he paused for a while. “At first, I had decided that I would just play along until it was time to leave, but after spending a day with you, here in this house, I fell without second thoughts. I do not know what you have done or what you are doing to me Kate, heck I didn't even marry you out of love, but I can gladly tell you that this man right here is on a leash and you Kate, are the one who holds that leash” he paused again. He could see she was literally struggling with the tears that were threatening to pour out any minute. “I understand why you're acting this way, but I just want you to know that I am very sorry and I wish you would actually forgive me and we can go b

CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY “What boss?” She asked and the girl replied hesitantly. “Mr Sinclair” she replied and Tamara was surprised. 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.

CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY NINE Owen had his arms wrapped around Tyla as they lay on the bed. He knew Rina would probably scream her head out if she came in and saw them in this position. But he had to do what was important and getting Tyla to sleep was very important at this moment. He ran his hand across her back and she relaxed against his touch. They lay side to side, her back pressed closely against his chest, while his arm was wrapped around her waist. “Owen” she called, her voice a little bit groggy. He could tell that she was almost falling asleep. “Hmm” he replied and she was silent for a while, the beeping sound of the machines in the room being the only sound audible. She sighed loudly before she finally spoke up. “Do you think bad people deserve to be loved too?” She asked and he was taken back by her question. He didn't think she would actually ask him something like this. “Yeah” he answered sincerely “Everybody deserves to be loved” he added. She wanted
