"Dad what are we going to do about this? I know you're very well aware that was a threat from him right?" Albert asked with a frown."I know okay? But we can't deal with this right now." Robert said. Dalia was quiet and didn't say a word. She was upset and angry at the moment."Hey man." "Hey Jasper." Theodore smiled at his friend. "How did your family take your introduction?" Jasper asked. "Who knows and who cares? They better be ready for my wrath. It's my turn to play dirty." Theodore said with an innocent smile. "Whoa, am liking the new you, so can you introduce me to your father?" Jasper asked with excitement in his eyes."Fine." Theodore said rolling his eyes.Theodore made sure most of the guests weren't talking to Charles when he walked up to him. "Father, this is my best friend Jasper." Theodore introduced. "Hello Mr Wyatt." Jasper greeted. "Nice to meet you Jasper, I see you're Peter's boy." Charles said. "Yes sir." Jasper replied immediately with a smile. He could
Theodore walked into the house and saw a familiar figure. "Why is she here?" Theodore muttered to no one in particular. "Ah, Theodore you're here." Charles said with a smile. "Yes, dad why is Janelle here?" Theodore asked as he couldn't hold his curiosity. "You should ask how your secretary is feeling first." Charles glared."Right, but..." "She would be staying with us for the mean time." Charles uttered. "Uncle, please I don't want to stay here." Janelle protested. "And why not? Are you uncomfortable because Theodore is here?" Charles asked. "What? No, I mean... I just want to go back my condo." Janelle said. "Absolutely not, I let you stay there and yet you keep going back to meet that witch. You're staying with us till you get better." Charles said. "Uncle am fine, believe me." Janelle tried to persuade further."You're fine, when I say you are. Stay for a month then you're free to go." Charles said. "A month?" Janelle asked with a frown. "Yes one month." "Uncle, I ha
"To visit a friend." Charles replied. Theodore felt like something was off, who as this friend his father keeps talking about. He really wanted to know. Well he didn't know why but he was really curious. But he decided to act normal. "Okay, if you say so. Janelle get dressed, call me when you're ready to go." Theodore reminded. "Okay." Janelle nodded."Well dad I'll see you at dinner." Theodore said with a smile on his face. After a while he heard a knock on his door. He was wearing casual clothes but he looked really dignified. He opened the door and found Janelle in front of his room. "Ready I suppose?" Theodore asked. "Yeah, although I wonder why your dad wants me to go shopping." Janell said rolling her eyes. She just had a crazy feeling about the day. "You didn't want him to get your things." Theodore reminded."I didn't want to stay." Janelle complained. She just wanted to find a way to return home. But she knew Charles personality. "I can't argue right now, let's jus
"Your boyfriend?" Frank asked this time jealous. He wondered how Janelle could leave him in less than a week and find herself a boyfriend so soon. Shouldn't she be sad they broke up? Besides Janelle loved him so much. "Yes, why?" Janelle asked. "I told you she was a slut, first you seduce Mr Charles Wyatt into taking you as his daughter. But in reality you're just his whore." Emilia said. "I could throw you in jail for saying that, because Charles Wyatt is my father." Theodore glared."How...?" "Why? You don't believe me?" Theodore asked. "How is it that Charles Wyatt's son... Whom he announced yesterday is your boyfriend?" Emilia asked jealousy written all over her face. "Does that mean you were cheating on me?" Frank asked.Janelle didn't know what to say but surprisingly Theodore gave him a reply. "I asked Janelle out but she said she had a boyfriend. I did wonder who it was that made her turn me down but seeing you. You don't deserve her really. So yes she's my girlfriend
Theodore and Janelle arrived at Karina's house. Nanny Helen walked up to Theodore and he hugged her. "Hi nanny." He smiled brightly. "I missed you a lot my dear." Helen said. "Yeah, I feel your absence too. Where Rina?" Theodore asked. "She's in her room should I call her?" Helen asked. "No, I'll go upstairs and see her." Theodore said. "Who is she?" Helen asked."Oh nanny this is Janelle Ryder my secretary. Janelle this is nanny Helen she's like a mother to me." Theodore introduced. "It's nice to meet you Miss." Helen said. "Thank you ma'am, it's nice to meet you too." Janelle said with a smile. Theodore asked Janelle to wait down stairs and he would be there soon. He knocked on Karina's door and she asked him to come in. "Hey Rina." "You're here." Karina smiled getting up. She didn't think he would be here earlier than he said he would. "Yeah... But am not here alone." Theodore said unsure of what to say next. "What? Right you said you were with someone who was it?" Ka
"Yes, we know. Come on brother loosen up." Chloe said with a frown. "I have something important to do tomorrow, so I can't have my employees on a hangover phase." Theodore said. "Well the boss has spoken, we dare not challenge him." Ivan joked."Don't make me look like the devil. I have a lot on my plate tomorrow and guys you know what." Theodore glared. "Fine, we wouldn't drink alcohol happy?" Ivan asked."Yes, very." Theodore replied. "Okay, if chugging it down isn't our punishment for not answering a question or fulfilling a task what would be the punishment then?" Chloe asked. "Making out?" Jasper suggested. "Don't be absurd Jasper." Theodore glared. "I like the idea." Chloe said. "Guys seriously don't be such a tease and this isn't a joke. You guys should pick a calm punishment." Theodore said. "How about a flick on the head." Derrick suggested. "God Derrick are you trying to have someone killed? My beautiful face and head shouldn't be touched by anyone got it?" Chloe g
"Huh?" Janelle asked surprised. "Don't worry, I'll explained why I choose them both. My sister of course, her safety matters most to me. And Janelle..." Everyone anticipated why Theodore said he would save Janelle and he finally spoke."My dad might just kill me if he learns I had the opportunity to save two people and I couldn't save Janelle." Theodore replied. Janelle sighed in relief in her heart. Well he only said he would save her not because he likes her or anything. "So does that mean I get to ask a question?" Theodore asked. "Yeah." Chloe nodded. "Okay, Mary Truth or Dare?" Theodore asked. "Truth." Mary replied. "Weren't you the one complaining about why was everyone picking truth?" Theodore asked. "Just this once besides you wouldn't be able to say a nice dare so I'd rather pick truth." Mary said. "Okay, what's the wildest you've ever gotten?" Theodore asked."Sleeping with a stranger in his car, it was a one time fun." Mary replied. "My God, all this time I never
Theodore was about to head toward the couch but Janelle's words made him stop. He turned to face her but was surprised about how close they were. Janelle lost her footing and in the course of saving her they both fell on the bed with Theodore a top her. The duo kept staring at each other until Janelle got a grip of herself. "Get off of me." She said awkwardly. "Oh my God, am so sorry." Theodore said straightening himself up. "I'll sleep on the couch and that's final." Theodore said. Theodore wondered what had gotten into him and why he stayed in that awkward position with Janelle for more than a minute. But then again, he thought maybe he hadn't been touched by a woman in a while. And that kind of made him lose his focus for a little while. He took a deep breath to calm his nerves but Janelle's next words made his heart skip a beat. "Let's share the bed.""Huh?" Theodore asked with a surprised and confused expression. "Yeah, I mean... Mary had a point, if you don't have anyt
~ Six Years Later ~ The estate was alive with the hum of conversation, laughter, and the clinking of glasses. Golden lights twinkled against the dark sky, and the melodic strains of a live orchestra filled the air. Theodore stood at the entrance, greeting guests with Janelle by his side, her smile as radiant as the diamond necklace she wore."Theodore, my man!" Jasper exclaimed, clasping his best friend’s shoulder. "Look at you. Hosting a party like this it’s like something out of a movie." Jasper said.Theodore chuckled. "It’s been a long time coming. But tonight isn't just about me. It’s about all of us." Theodore said. "You’ve earned it, Theo." Ivan added, shaking his hand firmly. "Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise." "Says the guy who eloped with his girlfriend. Got married to her and came back with their first child." Jasper glared. "Well what can I say." Ivan said. From the corner of his eye, Theodore spotted Nathalie and Miles walking in, hand in hand. Nathalie gave a
Leo grew up in a household that was warm and loving, until his father walked out. His mother, a kind but fragile woman, struggled to make ends meet. They faced hardships together, scraping by day by day. Despite their struggles, Leo’s mother always encouraged him to be kind, to work hard, and to never give up on the good in people.But life was cruel. His mother passed away when he was barely out of his teens, leaving him orphaned and lost. Those dark times forged Leo into a man of grit and determination. He vowed to never be the kind of person who abandoned those he loved.When the Wyatts entered his life, they gave him a purpose. Charles Wyatt saw potential in the young man and offered him a chance to rebuild his life. Leo trained hard, proving his loyalty time and again, becoming one of the most trusted members of the Wyatt family. For Leo, the Wyatts weren't just employers; they were his family.Years later, Leo met Becky. She was strong, independent, and doing her best to provide
A year after Theodore and Janelle’s joyous wedding and the arrival of their triplets, Karina found herself reflecting on her own life. Her fashion company, K.B., had skyrocketed in popularity, and her latest brand was garnering critical acclaim. She had poured her heart into her career, but as she watched her brother thrive as a husband and father, a small longing began to grow in her heart.One evening, after a long day at work, Derrick surprised her with a quiet dinner at their favorite restaurant."You’ve been working so hard." Derrick said, pouring her a glass of wine. "I admire that about you, Karina. But don’t you think it’s time we talked about... us?" Derrick asked. Karina paused, looking up at him. "What do you mean?" Derrick smiled, taking her hand. "I love you, Karina. I’ve loved you since the day we met. I want us to start our own chapter. Settle down. Build something together." Derrick said. "Of course, I don't want to rush you I need you to think about it." Derrick
Leo found himself visiting Becky and Belle more frequently. While his duties as Theodore’s bodyguard remained a top priority, he carved out time to nurture this new connection. Becky was hesitant at first, unsure of how deeply she wanted Leo involved in her and Belle’s lives, but Leo’s genuine care and persistence began to break down her reservations.One sunny afternoon, Leo invited Becky and Belle to a nearby park. It was a rare day off for him, and he wanted to spend it with them.Belle was ecstatic, running ahead to the playground while Leo and Becky strolled behind her."She’s got so much energy." Leo remarked with a smile, watching Belle climb onto the swings."She always does." Becky replied, laughing. Then, more seriously, she added."You don’t have to do this, you know. Spending time with us. We’re fine on our own. We're not really your family you know." Leo stopped walking and turned to face her."I’m not doing this because I have to, Becky. I’m doing it because I want to.
Theodore Wyatt stood at the altar, his hands clasped tightly in front of him, the faintest sheen of nervous energy radiating from his otherwise calm demeanor. Today was the day he would marry Janelle, the woman who had transformed his life in ways he never imagined. Around him, the grand but understated chapel glowed with soft sunlight streaming through stained-glass windows, illuminating the tasteful floral arrangements of white lilies and blush roses.He glanced briefly at the first row, where their three children and their nanny sat. A son and two daughters. Fatherhood had come unexpectedly, but he wouldn't trade it for anything. It wasn't just that he loved Janelle with all his heart; it was the family they’d built together that gave his life its deepest meaning."You ready for this, Theo?" Jasper whispered from his side, smirking as he adjusted his tie. As Theodore’s best man, Jasper had spent the morning both calming Theodore’s nerves and cracking jokes at his expense."More tha
Meanwhile, The night was alive with soft music, sparkling lights, and laughter as Janelle celebrated her bachelorette party. Unlike Theodore’s slightly chaotic bachelor bash, Janelle’s evening was elegant and charming just like her. Held in a private room at a chic rooftop restaurant, the gathering was intimate, attended by her closest friends and, of course, Karina, Theodore’s mischievous little sister, who had taken it upon herself to ensure the night wasn't too serious."Oh my gosh, Janelle, this place is perfect." Chloe said, twirling her cocktail glass and admiring the skyline. "You really know how to keep it classy." "I didn't plan this!" Janelle laughed, motioning toward Karina. "This was all her doing. And her brother's." Karina beamed, raising her glass of sparkling water. "What can I say? I have a gift for aesthetics." She turned to Mary with a wink. "And a gift for causing just the right amount of trouble.""Uh-oh." Mary said, laughing. "What did you do?" She asked.
The private lounge buzzed with energy as Theodore Wyatt and his closest friends celebrated his bachelor party. The room, a sophisticated mix of dark leather and ambient lighting, was alive with laughter, banter, and just the right amount of mischief. Jasper and Kyle Theodore’s self-proclaimed “partners in crime” had commandeered the night’s agenda, ensuring there wouldn't ’t be a dull moment. Meanwhile, Ivan and Derrick played the role of slightly more responsible spectators, though they were just as invested in making the night memorable."Alright, Theo." Jasper said, sprawling in his chair and twirling a half-empty glass of whiskey. His grin was pure mischief. "This is it, man. Your last night of freedom. Any regrets?" Theodore raised an eyebrow, smirking as he sipped his drink. "Regrets? You sound like I’m walking into a life sentence." Kyle leaned forward, pointing dramatically at Theodore. "Because you are. No more late nights out with the boys, no more spontaneous road trip
Theodore could barely contain his excitement as the days passed. He and Janelle were on the brink of welcoming their first child or so they thought. What Janelle didn't ’t know was that Theodore was meticulously planning their wedding behind the scenes. He wanted the event to be perfect, yet stress-free for Janelle, knowing how much her health and the baby's safety meant to her."You’re glowing." Theodore whispered one evening, wrapping an arm around her as they sat on the couch.Janelle smiled, resting her head on his shoulder. "I’m just happy. Everything feels so perfect right now. We've prepared the everything to welcome our baby." Janelle said. Theodore kissed her forehead, hiding his grin. If only she knew what he had in store."But of course, we need to make our baby happy. And I want us to be happy as well." On a crisp autumn morning, Janelle went into labor earlier than expected. Theodore was by her side throughout, holding her hand and reassuring her as the hours passed.F
Leo stood before Theodore in the study, his usual stoic demeanor slightly softened. "Sir, I’d like to request a day off." he said, his voice calm but carrying a note of urgency.Theodore arched a brow, intrigued. Leo rarely asked for time off unless it was absolutely necessary. "A day off? That’s not like you, Leo. What’s the occasion?" Theodore asked casually. Leo hesitated, then replied. "I want to visit my family. It’s been a while, and I need to check in on them." Theodore studied him for a moment. Something about Leo’s tone felt off, but Theodore decided not to push. "Alright, you’ve earned it. Take the day.""Thank you, sir." Leo said, bowing slightly before turning to leave.As soon as Leo exited, Theodore leaned back in his chair, deep in thought. Leo wasn't the type to lie outright, but there was something peculiar about his request. Theodore picked up his phone and made a quick call to one of his trusted men."Follow him." Theodore instructed. "I want to know where he
