Chapter 52Maya couldn’t hold in her excitement, seeing the most beautiful gown she ever laid her eyes on in her possession made her heart swell in joy, she couldn’t believe Owen could go out of his way to do something like this for her. Her thoughts were suddenly jolted when she heard a knock on the door, she quickly went to the door and saw Owen standing before her, she suddenly became shy and tried to hide her face, Owen noticed and chuckled “Is the gown to your taste, I asked the chauffeur to get something beautiful, I am not really good at selecting things good to a woman's taste” Owen said and Maya chuckled “I love the gown so much, it’s so beautiful, and it’s perfect” Maya replied and Owen let out a breath happy that Maia loved the gown “I am glad you love the gown, are you free tonight? Or do you want to choose a suitable night for the date” Owen asked and Maya quickly stepped forward. “Tonight is perfect, I have nothing doing and I deserve a good treat after spending thr
Chapter 53Owen looked at himself in the mirror, adjusting his shirt, satisfied with the way he looked, he walked out of his room and, just in time, saw Maya leaving the house. “Where are you going to?” he asked and Maya chuckled “I am off to work, thanks for yesterday. I really had mad fun” Maya replied and Owen chuckled. “I am glad you did, have great fun at work,” Owen said and Maya nodded. She walked out of the house and Owen did the same, climbing his car. Today was the day Mr. Reynold set for the family meeting in the family’s mansion. Owen decided to get there early, and he wouldn’t be the cause of the lateness. His chauffeur drove him to the family mansion, he came down from the car and noticed everyone was present, several people were busy discussing and having fun in small groups.Owen felt left out and his eyes darted around to find Mr. Reynold, he exchanged greetings with a few and become agitated when he couldn’t find Mr. Reynold “Where is he?” he muttered to himsel
Chapter 54Martin lay down on his bed tossing around, he took his phone and look at his account balance only to meet there was nothing there, he gulped down his hands shaking. How was he going to survive with nothing on his account? He sprang from the bed and decided it was better he meet with Megan, he needs to know his next course of action, he can’t just sit right back and watch everything continue to crumble before him.The only thing he had so much hope on bad already shattered before him and he had no other choice but to do what is necessary. He left the house in his car and drove above the speed limit to Megan’s home. He stopped the car and came down from it, taking a brisk walk inside the house. He scoffed when he saw Megan sitting on the sofa and was quietly sipping a coffee, she doesn’t look affected by what was going on and that ended up angering him. “What are you doing?” he asked, and Megan tilted her head to look at him.“Oh! You are here” she said with a smile but tha
Chapter 55Martin forced himself to drive towards the office, and his hands were busy shaking as he drove, he kept on changing words of prayer even though he didn’t believe in God hoping by the type he gets there, everything will be resolved and he got to keep his house. He finally made it to the building and came from the car, he gulped down the lumps that kept on growing in his throat and each swallow was harder than the last one. He finally arrived at the building and met the receptionist “I am sure you are Mr Martin, Mr James is waiting for you in his office,” the receptionist said and Martin nodded making his way to the office. He slowly knocked on the door and got no response, he gulped down and knocked again before he heard a faint “come in” pushing the door open, he stepped inside and as the receptionist said, he met Mr James going through some files. Mr James stopped what he was doing when he noticed Martin, he adjusted his glasses and stood up from his seat stretching hi
Chapter 56Maya stepped out of the hospital and sighed looking at the sky with squinted eyes, she didn’t understand why the weather was so sunny after the weather was reported everywhere to be gloomy today. Her stomach suddenly rumbled, and she remembered she hadn’t eaten, she quickly made her way to the restaurant close to the hospital, and on stepping inside her gaze met with Hayden, and she chuckled as he waved at her. After the first time they saw each other here, Hayden had always tried to take his lunch here which made Maya look forward to every lunch, she was fast becoming friends with Hayden, and she loved how they flowed easily and one could hardly guess they are from different social classes. She made her way towards him and sat down on the chair opposite to his, “I wasn’t expecting you to be here already” Maya stated after sitting down. “I had nothing much to do in the office, so I decided to drop by quickly, how was the hospital today?” Hayden replied, and a waitstaff w
Chapter 57Martin threw away his phone after calling the last person he thought would be willing to help him but to his dismay, he refused and cut the call, he knew at that moment he had no one to rely on, and he had no one else to blame but Owen.“How can I lose my home?!” he muttered to himself several times, he was tired, he had tried his best, all means to sort himself out, but it seemed the harder he tried, the worse the situation got. “I have to meet Megan, she has to have a plan, she has to think about what she needs to do” he muttered to himself and took his car key. He drove out of his house and went to Megan’s home. He noticed a car parked in front of the house, and he knew it didn’t belong to the family, he wondered what was going on, and he packed his car at a far distance. He came down and quietly walked towards the door, he was about to knock when he suddenly heard giggling and stopped “Are you telling me you will be able to win Owen’s heart back, I thought he might be
Chapter 58Owen chuckled while Mr. Reynold sipped his glass of wine. “I highly doubt that” he stated his mind and Mr. Reynold arched his brow at him. “Highly doubt what? Most people thought at some point since I wasn’t ready to step up as the CEO of the empire I was going to give it to Hayden since he wanted the most hardworking young man in the family” Mr Reynold replied and Owen smiled faintly. “Why didn’t you give it to him, from your words, he was capable enough” Owen stated, and Mr. Reynold dropped the glass of wine he was holding “He is not a direct bloodline and also I will need you to open the safe underground of the mansion” Mr Reynold replied and Owen became confused “What do you mean by underground or the mansion?” he asked, “and how can I possibly do that when I was never part of the family”“We will figure that out but for now, we should concentrate on you getting accustomed to everything relating to the empire and the family; you should be wary of everyone and trustle
Chapter 59Maya drove out of the house and headed straight to the hospital. She left the house and did not see Owen that morning, which bothered her a lot. She heaved a sigh as she could not help but Wonder if he actually came home to sleep, or if he left the house so early that she did not notice. She was almost halfway to the hospital when she suddenly realized that she had forgotten her phone at home. She turned back and drove back to the house to pick up her phone. She decided to dial Owen's number, but it was not connecting. Her heart troubled as she walked back to her car and drove to the hospital. She arrived at the hospital in the morning, early as usual, and took a brief moment before going inside as she only thought of Hayden. What am I going to do about this? She wondered as she thought about the date, Hayden had asked her to go with her. She exhaled rapidly with her mouth, taking a slight “o” shape as she finally pushed the door and went inside the building. She did her
