CHAPTER TEN The conference room was noisy as the attendants were busy communicating among themselves. Some were busy discussing about their plans for a better future, while others were lamenting about their past losses. The meeting room was filled to the brim as the people there all had their eyes out for just one thing. Bagging a contract with the Echelon industries. Echelon industries was one of the biggest group of companies in the country and any contract with them would surely be a blast. Different elite families were present, Maria Steele was also present and along with her came Kate. Maria had always been someone to show off so on a special occasion like today, (Kate had told her of her relationship with Chris, so she was sure they would be able to bag a contract easily) she dressed as if she was going for a fashion show. They were still indulging in their discussions when Chris came into the room and the whole place went silent in a minute. He was putting on a navy blu

“Now, where we’re we?” Owen asked and smiled. Maria’s heart began to beat faster at the sinister smile Owen had on. “Ladies and gentlemen, I have gone through all the proposals and just like my colleague had said earlier, they were all good but I couldn’t take all so I have chosen the two best among them.” He paused a little and stared at the crowd before commencing.“After much deliberation, I have come to the conclusion that the two most worthy contracts are the ones from the Steeles and Mrs Tamara here” He paused for a while as the whole crowd grumbled about his decision. Many felt he had selected them because they were his relatives. Because it was no coincidence that he had chosen his former family’s business and his wife’s family business. Maria was happy beyond comprehension. The joy she felt in her heart at that moment was the most she had felt in her entire lifetime. She had always known that Owen was a fool but she didn’t know that it was up to this extent. But

“Is that so?” Owen asked and the attorney nodded in response “Yes, my don. We’ve signed our part. Now all that is left is for you to sign yours” Maria said with a fake smile and Owen quirked his brows. The attorney handed him a pen and he stared at each of them for some time before asking “have you gone through the whole deal?” He asked Maria.without a second thought “oh, yes we have” she answered and Kate stared at her questioningly but Maria ignored her stares. Owen signed on the paper and with the help of his attorney, the stamp was placed on the signatures and the deal was sealed. When they were through with the signing and stamping process, Maria suggested that they had a drink to celebrate the future of their companies. Owen used the intercom to request for a bottle of Chardonnay and in no time, the wine was delivered to the room. They had just popped the bottle of wine open when Maria received a call but she ignored it. Owen poured a considerable amount of wine into the

He knew he would surely be punished for it but above all, he wished he wouldn’t end uo losing his job. That blood sucking whore Kate he cursed under his breath. For some Time now, he had been asking her out and she choose today of all days to accept him. “C**t” he cursed under his breath. He was still in his thought when a knock came on his door “who is that motherf***er” he cursed out loud and the voice he heard next sacred the living shit out of him “it’s me Owen” he heard the voice from the other side and immediately, he rushed to the door. He heaved a sigh before turning the door knob. “Forgive my inappropriate words Mr Owen” he said admidst a bow and thrust out his hand for a handshake. Owen accepted his hands and they both shared eye contact for a while before Chris lowered his gaze “Won’t you invite me in? Or is

CHAPTER FOURTEEN It’s been three days since Owen bought all their stocks and Maria had to admit, it brought a whole new level of change to their business. The shareholders were beyond happy with the latest developments. The company’s publicity increased after the announcement that the contract had been signed. Maria had invited the whole of the steeles family to a meeting that was actually meant for celebrating their latest deal. They had invited many others as well, it wasn’t a formal meeting but no one would like to miss such an important event, therefore the hall was filled to the brim.******************* Maria ran her eyes through the crowd as she tried to decipher Kate’s whereabouts but she couldn’t find her. She sighed in exasperation, ‘Kate would be the death of her’ she thought and hissed under her breath. Ever since their trip to Echelon, she had not been too well. She seemed detached and angry at herself for a reason best known to her. She was about t

CHAPTER FIFTEEN They were still in the middle of the party and Maria had just finished giving her speech which has touched the whole crowd. She had explained how her family had gone through hell before they were finally able to eat three square meals a day. The crowd listened attentively as she narrated her life story and many were touched by her past but became happy when she informed them of the latest developments. Few were sincerely happy for them while others were faking their smiles. A toast was raised in honor of the Steele family and Maria had just come down from the podium when she saw the two women that Kate had been talking to before she arrived earlier. One of the women looked a little bit old, maybe in her early seventies or late sixties while the other looked younger. Maybe in her early fourties or so She walked up to them in her ground flowing gown and when she was close enough, she greeted. The women were unaware of her presence and her greeting was what i

CHAPTER SIXTEEN Owen had just gotten home and he was kinda tired. He had to admit tho, he missed all this. The early morning coffee, the stamping and signings and the occasional roundups of the top deals. He opened the door with his fingerprint and as soon as he walked into the building, he sighed. The whole place was quiet and kinda empty. He massaged his left shoulder with his right hand and did the same with the other but he felt no relief. He was fuc*ing tired. He had just slumped into the couch when he heard the doorbell ring. He was kinda suprised because it was late already. He stared at the clock on the wall and the time was five minutes past eleven. Heck, he didn’t know that it was this late, he had been so busy that he lost track of time. The doorbell rang again and this time, he furrowed his brows. He stood up from the couch carefully and tiptoed to the door. He peeped from the peephole and he saw that it was none other than Mia. He stared for a while, trying to asce

CHAPTER SEVENTEEN Tamara had been concerned about the partnership with Echelon. Ever since the day she signed the contract, she had been on tenter hooks. She felt he was trying to play some sick game but she couldn’t counter his attacks when she didn’t even know what the game was. She felt disturbed with the fact that Owen had chosen his two enemies out of all the eligible candidates. She knew that Owen still had her in mind so it came as a surprise to her when he choosed her company for the partnership. She had thought that he would refuse her contract immediately but he ended up accepting it. She was well aware that their companies were not the ones with the best deals but he had accepted theirs anyways. She was also surprised with the fact that he was the CEO of Echelon. She remembered clearly when she had collected the company from Owen after his father, her husband’s death. He had been devastated, depressed even. It felt as though his whole life had been collected

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 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
