CHAPTER FIFTY TWO Owen had a cheerful smile on his face as he made his way towards the kitchen. He had received the best news of his life, Rina had called him this morning that her family house was under renovation and she needed a place to stay at the moment. Lodging at a hotel would have been her best alternative at the moment, but she didn't want to, so she had called to ask if he had an extra room. And he had agreed willingly. Since then, he has been overjoyed. He didn't know what time she was arriving so he had to make some necessary preparations before her arrival. He had called for interior designers and had arranged for a room directly opposite his. Right now, he was on his way to the kitchen to make something nice as he was still trying to impress her. He knew she was a rare jewel and he had to handle her with utmost care. “What's with the smile?” Mia asked and Owen was startled. “Calm down Mr” Mia said in between laughter “So, may I know what's going on?

CHAPTER FIFTY THREE Owen went to get Rina from where she was and it took a while before they came back. Owen was stalling, trying to make sure that Kate was fully immersed in her work before they arrived. He walked into the house, hand in hand with Rina as she had a smile plastered over her face. Owen's heart rate was abnormal as he tried to think of a solution to this impending doom. He knew that Kate and Rina in one room would be like mixing oil and water which was impossible. And Rina would not be happy with him if she sees Kate in his house. That alone would complicated issues and he wasn't in the mood for bantering or complications. To avoid getting into trouble, instead of climbing the stairs and taking her to his room to rest, he took her straight to the kitchen with the pretense that he wanted to make something nice for her, and Rina didn't object as she handed her handbag to the maid to take it upstairs for her. When they got to the kitchen, Owen started making som

CHAPTER FIFTY FOUR Maria had been busy the past week as the preparations for her daughter's upcoming wedding was a bit challenging. She had taken it upon her to make sure that the wedding would be a successful one. Esme was helping out in all that she could, and Katherine was also giving a helping hand. In less than a week, the preparations would be concluded and the wedding finalized. “Hey, hang it there” she said to the girl who was about to place a portrait on the wall. “Do I have to teach you everything?” Maria asked with a huff. She was tired of giving instructions, it seemed like they were all doing the opposite of what she wanted and she was really exhausted. For about a week now, her regular words had been “not there, there, not here, here” and she was pretty tired. “Oh Maria, what have they turned you to?” Maria heard a voice and she turned to see her sister, Benedicta. "To what do I owe this visit? Benedicta? Because it's been long I saw or even heard of you,

CHAPTER FIFTY FIVE Kate was fuming as she made her way out of the house. She had been insulted twice today by two insignificant people and this really hurt her pride. Mia had told her that she was in support of Rina's and Owen's wedding, and she wouldn't bear with anyone who tries to sabotage their plans. She huffed as she stormed out of the hallway, only to bump into Rina. She glared at her with raw hatred and Rina smiled at her. “Yunno, I found it hard to understand why you hate me, but as it is now I understand pretty well. You just can't help it, I'm too good” Rina said as she catwalked to where Kate stood, using her hands to brush off invisible speck of dust from Kate's cloth. “And need I remind you, the next time you try what you tried earlier today, I would make sure to teach you a lesson you would never forget in your entire lifetime” Rina whispered close to her ears and Kate clenched her fists until her knuckles turned white. Rina steeped away from her and wal

CHAPTER FIFTY SIX The celebration had come to an end, and it was time for them to return to their respective homes. Maria was beyond happy as she could see the envy on the faces of the people she had invited to the party. Even those who had claimed to be happy about the upcoming union, were all jealous and this made her ego bloat. “It's late already, we need to go home and take rest before the day breaks” Maria told Esme and Esme sighed. She had tried to convince her to stay the night and return to her house the next day, but Maria had refused. It seemed she still had a little bit of pride in her. Esme saw them out of the house, she and Maria gave each other a hug and Kate said her goodbyes to Jake. They drove out of the compound and Katherine retired to her room, while Jake offered to see Esme to hers. As soon as they got into Esme's room, Jake shut the door behind him. “What you tried to do today, do you know the risk you would be putting your son in if you had succeeded

CHAPTER FIFTY SEVEN Owen ran into the hospital premises like a mad man, while Mia and Rina tried to catch up with him. The nurses and doctors there had to give him space, to avoid running into him and vice versa. Owen raced to the room, since he was preinformed of the room number. He was told that his father slumped down and was admitted in the hospital, so he had to rush to meet him. He stopped in front of the room and pushed the door open with full force. He stepped into the room and was surprised to find out that there was no one there. He took his phone out from his pocket, by this time, Rina and Mia were already in the room. He called his father's number and it rang. He could hear the ringing from the room and he tried to find the phone. In no time, he saw the phone at the side of the hospital bed. He noticed that the bed cloth was rumpled, which meant that he had been here, but where could he have gone? A thousand thoughts ran through his head as he thought of a

CHAPTER FIFTY EIGHT Owen, Rina and Mia had left the hospital after hearing the doctors instructions. Owen had a solemn expression on his face, as he couldn't get his father's condition out of his mind. Somewhere within him, he felt that something was wrong. He had not spoken to his father, as he was still asleep when they left. They had waited for a while expecting him to wake up, but when he didn't, Owen knew they had to leave, duty calls. As long as the doctors confirmed that he was not dead, he tried to calm his mind. **************** “What a stressful day” Maria said as they walked into the lobby. She was all smiles as she couldn't get the thought of the upcoming wedding off her mind. “I'll be in my room” Kate said and left. Maria huffed, she was less concerned about Kate's tantrums. This wedding was her only concern at the moment, and she was willing to do anything to make it come to pass. She didn't know why Esme was asking her all those questions, but she was

CHAPTER FIFTY NINE “Good morning” Rina said with a small smile as she saw Owen in the kitchen, in an apron. She had just woken up from sleep, and was about to go check out the gym when she saw the kitchen door slightly open. She was surprised to see Owen there as it had crossed her mind to check up on him before coming down, but she didn't want to disturb his sleep. He looked good in an apron and she had to admit, it made him look more sexy. “Morning, and where are you headed to, dressed like that?” Owen asked with a raise of his brows and Rina smiled “The gym, I thought I heard you say you had one around. Or is there something wrong with my dressing?” She asked as she cross-checked her clothes. She was putting on a two piece gym suit which hugged her curves and she looked like a seductress in it. “No, there's nothing wrong with it, I just thought you were heading somewhere dressed like that” Owen said with a disapproving look “Assuming I was going somewhere, is there a
