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

They all exchanged farewells with Maria and exited the Steele's mansion.As the ladies exited the Steele's mansion, They entered their sleek wrangler jeep and began the journey home. Rina was lost in thought and she could not shake off the uneasy feeling she felt of Owen's request to meet up with her. 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

CHAPTER FORTY THREE “You want me to get married to you?” Rina asked as she pointed her hands to her chest using her index finger and Owen nodded in agreement. She shook her head at the absurdity of his words,She found the whole thing amusing and confusing at the same time. “Yeah, that's the whole point” Owen said. He knew he was going to have a hard time convincing her to agree to this marriage but he knew he wouldn't go home without a victorious smile on his face. “Wow, are you naturally dumb? Or you're just delusional?” Rina asked and Veeda glared at her. She couldn't understand why Rina was so plain with her words. She didn't even try to sugarcoat her words or even care about how the person she was referring to would feel. She would just open her mouth and pour out her words without as much as a thought. “What made you believe that I would agree to your useless proposal? If I can actually call this whole drama a proposal? We just met about two days ago and You just called

CHAPTER FORTY FOUR After Kate said those words, the whole place went silent. Owen's heart thumped loudly in his ears. He knew he couldn't hide the truth from Rina, but he couldn't reveal it to her this early. He had planned to tell her after a little while, maybe after their marriage to avoid any complications before the wedding. Rina stared at Kate with a smirk on her face, she couldn't understand what Kate was trying to say, but she knew that whatever it was, it was meant to make her angry so she couldn't give her the satisfaction of knowing that she had succeeded in her plans. Although her words troubled Rina, she shielded it properly. “What do you mean by that?” Veeda spoke up this time, her patience clearly wearing off “You understand what I meant, not just you tho. I think the both of you understand but you would hate to admit it as you clearly know that admitting would only make your joy short lived and you wouldn't want that to happen. “Yeah, he's a divorcee, and so

CHAPTER FORTY FIVE Maria stood in her room as she went through their endorsements for the past few weeks. A wide smile crept its way into her lips as she saw the way their company gained more popularity and recognition. She knew the contract would bring her many gains. But she was still concerned about the fact that she had not heard from Owen ever since the day he came to her office to lend a helping hand. He had collected James' address and that was the last time she saw him. And she had also not heard from James, neither had she heard from the other shareholders. It all seemed surreal, odd but satisfying. She had thought that the shareholders would be on her neck by now, or even withdraw their shares. But it seemed like she was just scared for nothing. All was well and she just had to relax and enjoy her money. She walked into the walk-in wardrobe, took off her clothes and changed into her nightwear before going back to her bed. She was just about to doze off when she remembe
