CHAPTER THIRTY FIVE Nb: the former chapter had a typographical error, it was actually talking about Mia( Owen's maid) and not Maria(Kate's mother) sorry for the error Owen was in his office, his pen in his mouth as he thought about what Mia had said earlier. He had not thought about it the probability, thanks to his former marriage which was a total disaster. His marriage with Kate had been every man's wish at the beginning but after he lost his wealth, the whole successful marriage facade went down the hill. Kate's mother Maria had tried her every best to come in between then and after many failed attempts, she had succeeded in poisoning Kate's mind. And Kate had divorced him in order to get married to Chris McLean, a worker in his company now. “Fate” he mused and chuckled. He had thought about what Mia had said and he was currently still thinking about it. Maybe she was right, maybe it was high time he looked for a partner seeing as Kate has moved on already and in no time, sh

CHAPTER THIRTY SIX Tamara had remained silent after Owen's question and Owen was getting impatient with her lack of speech but he remained calm. He knew what she was trying to do, she was trying to emotionally blackmail him into agreeing to her terms and giving in to her needs. “I won't actually call it a loan yuuno, just a little favor from one family member to the other. You are well aware that my company's bankruptcy would also put your own company in trouble.” Owen scowled visibly, she wanted help but instead of her begging or asking for it, she was trying to blackmail him into helping her. Tamara was a sly wretch and that was why she had always been the pillar of the family. She had all the traits of a businesswoman, she was wise, cold and greedy. He had always known that he would have a hard time dealing with her. Maria was not too intelligent and he might admit that she had the brain of a fish. But Tamara was the direct opposite of Maria, she was very intelligent and

CHAPTER THIRTY SEVEN “And what property would you have me give you as collateral” Tamara asked Owen “I don't know, what property of yours do you think would be worth the amount you are asking for…” Owen paused in his tracks “How much are we even talking about here?” “Well, I'll say it's a little token in comparison to this empire you own. Let me say about thirty million dollars” Tamara said and Owen scoffed “Thirty million dollars is not a small token Mrs Sinclair, and the empire you speak of does not belong to me, I am just the CEO, nothing more. As for the amount you are asking for, I'll see what I can do about it, but you'll have to give me something that is worth that exact amount” “You were once the owner of the entity, what property of ours would you have me give you?” Tamara asked him “How about the penthouse in Bahamas?” Owen said and if it wasn't for the fact that Tamara was well behaved, she would have cursed at him. “The penthouse in Bahamas? Do you know t

CHAPTER THIRTY EIGHT “What do you mean by that mother? I don't believe I heard you correctly. Did you say "You want to give Owen the legal ownership of our house?” Daniel roared at the face of his mother but she didn't even flinch or move from the spot where she stood. She had seen many episodes of him like this before and she couldn't seem to care less. “It's just for a short period of time Dan, as soon as the company is up and running on its feet, I will return the money to him and collect the ownership back to us, how many times do I have to repeat this same line to you? Would it take me to open up your brain and shove this information into those cerebral hemispheres of yours before you understand? It is just a temporary solution my son”. Yes, It is a shaky damaged bridge that we have to cross, but we have no other options. Tamara said, her voice barely above a whisper. “Do you even hear yourself mother? A temporary solution?” He scoffed in anger. “What if the company doesn

CHAPTER FOURTY Owen had just finished calling Veeda and she had told him that they would get back to him in no time. He had wanted to ask for Rina's presence only, but Rina was too doubtful and violent at the same time, so she wouldn't agree to a meeting alone with him in the first place as she would think that he had some fishy reasons for requesting for an appointment with her. He couldn't handle her alone so that was why he had called Veeda in the first place. The ever cheerful Veeda had replied him with all enthusiasm and he couldn't wait to get Rina's reply. He looked at his wrist watch, it was already past six and he couldn't wait to get home. Gosh, he was exhausted, from thinking about marriage to dealing with Tamara and signing some unreasonable documents that had him missing his former peasant life. He picked up his bag, switched off the lights and headed towards the door. He had already come out of the office when his head guard rushed to him, two other guards follow

Her encounter with Owen just the day before, still lingered in her mind, with his stinging remark of calling she and her sister "maids" leaving a sour taste in her mouth. She was very much . How would he She couldn't think of why he would want to meet her. Was it some elaborate plan up his sleeves to try to ridicule her further, she certainly did not have time for such or did he have genuine reasons? Veeda, on the other hand, was humming a happy song and was pretty excited about meeting Owen again.To her, he was a really funny handsome guy and she had developed a fondnes

CHAPTER FORTY TWO Veeda's voice was not one he could forget easily. He turned to the direction where he heard the voice from and what he saw next surprised him. Veeda looked stunning in her mid thigh evening dress which enhanced her curves, and her hair was packed in a ponytail. She had little make up on and she looked extremely different from the lady he had met a few days ago. He stared at her for a while and this made Veeda uncomfortable. Noticing her discomfort, Owen took his eyes off her and that was when he realized that someone was standing beside her. He had totally forgotten that she had come here with Rina in the first place. He dragged bus eyes from her toe to her head and he had to say, she cleaned up nice as well Rina was putting on a pepper red long dress that had a slit at the side which exposed her well toned legs and her smooth fair skin. Her earrings were pure diamond and their black colour shone under the light in the restaurant. She was putting on a flat sli
