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
Chapter 21.Work had resumed as usual for George. His foster father-in-law made sure he summoned him early to know he would be working to pay up the missing money. Which also meant that he wouldn't be paid for some months until the money was recovered.George didn't budge because of the money his mother's father gave him which he kept safely. He would have been left in a state of panic if he didn't have any hope in mind.He happily accepted and this surprised his foster father-in-law who thought he would beg and plead.His foster father-in-law angrily left him with plenty of deliveries to make and stated that it was his punishment before leaving the bakery. Kill, who had traced George to the bakery, met him arranging the piles of the packaged deliveries he was going to make. He was surprised as he never imagined he was a common delivery man who worked in a local bakery.He called Dan to give his report."I have found where he works and what he does for a living," Kill said to Dan."W
The next day, Anna's new suitor came along with his sister. He was a business mogul who owns plenty of companies around town and a notable figure too.Anna was out when they came, she probably went in search of George she found hanging around her foster father's bakery."George," she called out softly immediately after she saw him and started walking towards him. George looked up and saw her.He was startled and confused at first as to know the reason why Anna was walking towards him and maybe probably came in search of him."I'm sorry for everything, it wasn't intentional. I had to act that way to see what my foster parents thinks of me. I'm sorry," she apologized, which got George very surprised.He couldn't believe that Anna who was abusing him was apologizing. It left him so shocked that he was left speechless."You mean it was all fake?" George asked her."Yes, it was. Even the divorce too. We ain't divorced, that was a fake divorce paper I made to fool them, and don't worry abou
It's been two days since the incident. Juliet didn't come to school nor ever showed up as the girls instructed."She is getting on my nerves already," Anna overheard Rhoda say, feeling very angry as they gathered together in the abandoned hall, disappointed that Juliet hadn't shown up since that day.She had been trailing them around."She finally ran away as others do," Christine said to them."Maybe!" Amaya agreed."Why don't things always work for me, I mean for us?" Rhoda asked them. "Juliet would have been the scapegoat we do use to get our results and change the marks before giving them to our parents, but she has disappeared since that day. What are we going to do? The day our parents would request our results is getting closer," Amaya said feeling apprehensive."Don't worry! Maybe she hasn't gotten the results," Christine said."No Christine, she hasn't come to school since that day, I think she has ran away," Amaya replied."Enough! No one dares disobey me, I will teach her
Anna got to school the next day and saw Juliet already in school."Hey, babe!" She called and walked to her desk."Hey! What happened? you have bruises all over," she said as she looked at the bandage on Anna's hand. The previous day, Anna had gotten into a fight with Austin but luckily, George came to her rescue."I got into trouble yesterday but it wasn't serious anyway," Anna said to her. She refused to mention it was Austin.They got carried away with other important talks and started discussing and laughing as it was a free lesson period that morning."I am looking for Anna and Juliet," a senior student announced, drawing Anna and Juliet's attention."We are here," Anna replied and waved her hand to signify."Okay follow me to the principal's office, he asked me to come to invite you guys to his office," the senior said."Oh, my God! It's today Anna," Judith panicked as she remembered that they were supposed to come with their parents today as the principal had instructed."Don't
