After the fight with Melissa, Jackson tore the divorce paper she had brought to him into a million shreds. He was not going to just let her leave like that. She walked into his life like a petty leech when the goings were rosy and things went smooth but now that he was identifed as a bastard, here she was looking for the bestest and fastest exit. She wants to leave the marriage because she didn't want to go down the drain with him.Jackson was bent on teaching her a great and very bitter lesson, one that she was going to regret for the rest of her life. He wasn't surprised, he was well aware of the tactics she wanted to employ with him. Get with him when he's super rich and then abscond the moment he's going down the social ladder. Wasn't that what she had done with her other men?He had seen that coming already and wasn't surprised one bit when she came to drop the divorce papers in front of him.So, here he was keeping her in his captivity. She was going to regret ever walking in
The hall that night was filled with a lot of people dressed all beautiful and attractive. They had all been invited to the 50th anniversary of the biggest and most successful company in the country. The Imperial Empire which was a family and generational corporation built by the wealthy Imperial Dynasty was an epitome of very massive success and an unmatching prosperity that no other company or corporation present in the country could boast of.Everyone of them came behind in the place of rank after the well respected company. Most times when the media even wants to rank businesses or even make mention of the business world, they always referred to it as the Imperial Holdings company and others.Competitors who were also doing quite well in the social ladder themselves and had tried for several years to come close to them in their place of ranking were not able to reach their level or even come close. The day was a very happy and great day for the Imperials as it was one they had al
Melissa regretted her actions very badly. She knew that she had wronged Micheal in a very bad way and the guilt of all she did was telling so much on her that she didn't even know what to do.She hated her life Instantly that moment as she had now lost everything and she didn't even know what to do anymore. She had lost her sanity, was a divorcee for the third time and now was left with nothing. She was not getting a single dime as she could not get any alimony from her divorce with Jackson.How was she going to get that when her marriage had been with an animal in human form, a total bastard who was now rotting in jail and whose situation was even worse than Peter's case.Peter was almost done with his jail term and would finally be out in a month's time but Jackson? The same man whom she had thought was going to change her family's status and that of her own self into something much greater and better had ended up being the one that shattered her the most into a thousand pieces. M
"Today, I stand before you to announce the newest addition to our family." Lloyd Kingston started, speaking to the multitude of guests present.Micheal leaned in, waiting for his name to be spoken, to finally be acknowledged. For three years, he had been married to Lloyd's daughter, Melissa Kingston, but he had always been treated like a piece of shit. He was never allowed in family gatherings neither did anyone consider him as one of the Kingstons.But tonight, Melissa herself had invited him to this dinner hosted by the Kingstons. The family must be ready to finally embrace him. His chest swelled with hope, his name on the tip of his tongue."I would love to announce a special someone to you all tonight. The one who has won the heart of my princess, Melissa" Lloyd added as he smiled brightly. Melissa could not help but grin wildly as she looked at her father."My one and only son-in-law would come up the stage to join us now. " He continued and Michael could not help but feel so hap
Micheal woke up in a room, white walls surrounding him. Blinking away grogginess, he looked around and realized he was in a luxurious suite, far different from his expectations.He heard soft beeping filling the air." Where am I?" He asked himself as he tried to sit up. With his gaze searching around, he saw that he was in a hospital room. It was one that exudes luxury. The soft sheets, ornate furniture, and muted lighting were a stark contrast to the ground he had been lying on moments before. Confusion gripped him as he tried to piece together what had happened.The door creaked open, and a nurse entered. "Good to see you are finally awake, young master, you've been in a coma for a week.""A week?" Michael croaked, disbelief evident in his voice."Yes, young master." The nurse responded with a happy glint spread around her face, bowing.Micheal could not understand. Why was she calling him young master? Was he mistaken for someone else?Before he could get a full grasp of the situ
"That is not possible." Micheal refuted flatly. "My grandfather would never wish for this. He would rather sell it all and give the money to the orphanage than allow it to go this way."Attorney Benedict responded with a smirk. "Your father? You seem to forget where you belong, Micheal. The orphanages. Mr Martins saw you as just another charity case."His words were spoken with a cold sting, piercing into Micheal's heart and causing deep pain. Mrs Kingston and her son could be heard laughing in mockery, happy that Micheal had been disgraced like that by his foster father's lawyer."If you have nothing else to say, you can step out now. We are quite busy right now as you can see."Benedict showed him the door. Micheal could not believe it. The man his father trusted with all his life and properties had been bought away by the deceitful games of the Kingstons. He was going to give possession of everything to them!"This is not right..." He mumbled, still unable to come to terms with thi
"What did you say Micheal did? Are you sure about this?"Melissa was stunned at the news which her brother had presented to her. She could not believe that her ex husband could one day grow the nerves or the guts to ever look her family in the face, not to talk of disrespecting them in front of others."I am sure about what I am saying, sister. He tried to physically attack me and mother, he even punched me in the face. The lawyer Benedict was there! You can ask him!"He showed her a reddened part of his face as evidence of Micheal's brutality. It was all a lie, he made himself up to look that way."And when he was taken away by the Colwill girl, he threatened to destroy us and everything we have."Melissa's eyes grew deep with doubts. The words her brother spoke made no sense to her. Not only did Micheal do the impossible by attacking her family, he also found a way to be friends with a member of the Colwills? No. This must be a joke.She turned to her mother, hoping to hear that Mod
"I'm guessing that would be your former wife on the phone." Alegria Colwill noted as Micheal replaced his phone into his pocket.Former wife? Micheal scoffed. His divorce with Melissa was only a few days ago, but it seemed like everybody knew about it already. Even the ever busy Alegria Colwill."Stop with the pity face. I had to make my research about you before coming out here." Alegria added, noticing the look of surprise that Micheal wore.She was indeed a perfect beauty, with the confidence of a tigress and an aura of class. There was no way she would naturally take heed to lazy rumors be it from other people's lips or from the news channels. Especially since the story was about the Kingstons who were far lower than the Colwills in the ranking of the class of families.Besides, Micheal realized that there was not much connection between the Colwills and the Imperials. The Imperials were way above the level of the Colwills as it was with anybody else, but he could not understand
