Anna woke up early to prepare for the date. She happily rushed up with what she was to do that morning and quickly went back to the room to take her bath. She settled on a white floral dress which made her look like a princess, she poured her hair and tied it with a ribbon. She wore silver heels and a bag to match and was ready for the date. "Are you done?" George, who was outside waiting, texted her."Yeah, I am!" I'm coming outside to join you soon, she replied and started heading outside.The other family members who saw them looking lovey-dovey that morning while they were having breakfast wondered what was going on between the two of them.Anna was unusually good and gentle towards George which kinda pissed some of them off as they always enjoyed their quarrel.Anna saw George leaning on her car looking so handsome than ever with a black suit and shoes to match.She had asked him to drive them to where they would be having the date using the car her father recently gifted her.
The week progresses with Anna and George still on good terms. Austin tried to come in between them as usual but Anna refused to give him that chance or listen to him as she did in the past.She concluded that she wouldn't be the kind of person who would allow other people to interfere in her welfare and define how she was going to live her life.She was way past that, she thought as she felt very happy that giving George a chance would be the best decision she took in her life.She was still in deep thought in the room when her mind drifted to her foster parents and how they were faring.Her foster parents, especially her foster mom, were the people who took care of her after their mother's death when she was two years old. Austin then was already seven.She knew her as her mom and her husband as her dad until she became older and came to realize that they weren't her parents and had only been raised under their care.At first, Anna didn't want to return from her foster parents' place
After a week's stay with the Harts, Anna started going back to her old self due to her foster mother's influence. George couldn't understand what was happening because Anna wasn't meant to allow anyone to influence her the way they always do whenever she decided to change.Now it was even worse as her foster parents supported her and would always say that still being married to George is a privilege.George tried to do something, he tried to talk to Anna but he was never allowed to do so. In return, he was threatened with divorce if he didn't follow their way of life.He contacted Sir Matt and told him about it but sir Matt supported them.He told him to act very weak and stupid if he still wanted to be married to Anna or he would join forces with Anna's foster parents and make sure they end the marriage.Having no other choice, George decided to adhere to what his father-in-law said.He decided to obey his foster parents and allow them to treat him the way they wanted for the time be
It was a Saturday morning and George was pacing in his bedroom. Before his birthday and after his birthday, he had not heard from his grandmother.For some months now, he hadn't bothered to visit her because of how busy he had been. George was happy that he would finally get to visit her since she lived in the same city as Anna's foster parents.His grandmother had been a help to him too after his father cast him out of the house, she was the one who handed him over to Anna's grandfather and went ahead to move out of their family Villa because she wasn't in support of what his father did.While thinking about this, the memory of him asking Anna to spend time with him flashed in his head and he closed his eyes, in dismay. "It was hurtful." He said to himself, weirdly. Anna had insulted him to the nines and he felt like disappearing on his birthday.It was one of the most dreaded days of his life.Walking into his bathroom, to wash his face, George took out his phone to place a call
George felt emotionally downcast as he left his grandmother's house, seeing his grandmother's lifeless body made him realize he was now alone in his world with no one."Am I alone?" He asks himself and then recalls his nagging wife and her family and sighs frustrated. He walked to a bar he found along the road to drink away his sorrow while reminiscing how miserable his life had been since he married Anna. He hated the fact that these past days, he had fallen in love with her after the date and now loved her sincerely thinking she also loved him too but he realized now that she never had given him a chance in her heart and only deceived him.How they got married was a miracle. His grandfather-in-law adopted him for selfish reasons. He thought they cared for him but he was wrong. His jaw clenched in anger and his fist tighten cracking his knuckles in the process "I'm going to make y'all pay" He seethed gritting his teeth. "It was my responsibility to take care of her, I couldn't bec
George's grandmother's funeral was given and the day arrived, George prepared to leave for his grandmother's funeral. He quickly rushed around the bakery, trying to fix up everything that would be needed in the bakery as he would be taking the day off.He prepared to leave as he put on his best suit and shoe. He was looking very smart and good even though his appearance was very poor. He met Anna lying lazily in the living room, watching TV.She looked at him, before looking away. After the incident that happened some days back, they hadn't been on talking terms and it kept George worried.He walked towards the door and made to leave but couldn't. He turned back and came to stand in front of Anna."Anna!" He called out but Anna acted like she wasn't standing in front of her.George sighed softly and closed his eyes."I'm sorry for what happened," he apologized, swallowing his pride.George looked away without uttering a word."Talk to me, we shouldn't keep on avoiding each other. At L
George followed Mr. Winston back to his car. He had pleaded with him to follow him back home so he would be introduced to his family.George got to know that his mother's father was a very wealthy man who was among the top Billionaires in the city. It excited him much as he knew his life had changed for good and he would no longer be insulted by Anna and her family nor lose their marriage which was one of his greatest fears.It was going to be his starting point while he continued to work hard to go back to his father's house to claim his rightful inheritance even if his father didn't like him.He talked with Mrs. Winston about his paternal grandmother and how she took care of him. He got to know that Mr. Winston was very warm and nice. He wished to know him earlier. They got to Mr. Winston's house about half an hour later. George got down and looked around.Mrs. Winston was living in a mansion that screamed of wealth. He admired the interior design of the compound as they headed i
George smiled when he remembered Dan called him big bro. He had never had it in mind that he would be called big bro someday by someone who would consider him as family.He stood up and shook hands with Dan again and they went ahead to exchange a light hug before he sat down.Dan also sat but deep down, he was burning with fury. He didn't worry much because he had already tagged that George was nothing and can be eliminated easily after accessing his appearance, but his mentioning that he was married gave him a reason to be very worried because of their grandfather."So this calls for a special Family celebration and reunion. I would be happy and would live longer as my family is now complete," Mr. Winston said as he looked at his two handsome grandsons with a smile.A teardrop ran down his cheek which he quickly cleaned so he wouldn't show how emotional he is."Cathy, I have finally found your son. Your son that you cherish so much, I hope you find peace now and rest well in heaven a
