Albert's head was spinning when he heard Robert say they didn't have proof that Theodore was the one attacking their company. "Dad are you really that dense? Trusting Theodore that he wouldn't take down the company?" Albert asked. "Am just saying we have no proof yet. And the person behind this should be your secondary worry. What you should be worried about right now is finding a way of getting us out of our current situation." Robert said."Fine I'll make some calls. And you shouldn't think that Theodore is still your son. Because from his threat at the party... He looks like someone ready to bury us." Albert said walking out of Robert's office. "I can't believe Albert made that deal without my permission and now look what it's costing us." Robert sighed and Dalia helped him sit. "Robert, Albert is right. And if Theodore is really the one trying to ruin us, then... Then there's no telling what he could do. Or how far he would go." Dalia said. "Honey, we need to find a way to so
Ivan sometimes wonders how Theodore's minds works. The smile on his face made his shudder. Although he was Theodore's friend for a few years now he sometimes doesn't get him. "Ah, also scheduled a meeting with Trey." Theodore said."What?" Ivan asked surprised. "Just do it will you? Tell him it's me and he mustn't see Albert first or the meeting is automatically cancelled." Theodore instructed. "Yes boss."Theodore continued his work till his secretary walked in. "Mr Wyatt." Janelle called out. "Ah, Miss Ryder what is it?" Theodore asked. "It's time to make reservations for lunch... Where..." Janelle was about asking where he wanted to have his dinner when he cut her. "Order something for two and send it to my office. Oh and after the delivery is made come in, I want to have a word." Theodore instructed. "Okay, Mr Wyatt. Ah what should I tell..." "Yes?" Theodore asked. "I mean what should I order?" Janelle asked. "Order according to your preference." Theodore said nonchala
Trey finally gave Albert a call. "What took you so long? Do you think I was bluffing?" Albert yelled into the phone. "Calm down Albert we're both in a lot of trouble right now. Let's meet." Trey said. "Fine, where are you?" Albert asked. "Am at a restaurant." Trey replied. "Okay, text me the address." Albert arrived at the restaurant and he walked towards Trey. "How do you intend on stopping this scandal?" Albert asked as soon as they were both seated."I don't know." Trey replied honestly. "So you called me even when you have no idea how you're going to resolve this? We're in this mess because of your stupidity!" Albert yelled. "Albert just calm down and let us think of something together." Trey persuade."And what if you're actually the one who offended someone great that got us into this mess." Trey said with a frown. "You know what? You just proved you're unreliable so I'll figure a way to get myself out of this mess." Albert said walking away angrily. He couldn't beli
"My mother?" Theodore asked surprised. He didn't think that his father would want to talk about his mother. Everyone knew how he was born including him. He was a mistake a one night passion so to speak."Yes, your mother." Charles replied."Why would you want to talk about her?" Theodore asked."Am curious." Charles replied. "Oh, okay." Theodore nodded with a sigh. "What do you want to know?" Theodore asked. "Anything, as a son how do you view your mom?" Charles asked."She's the most amazing thing that happened in my life. I loved her so much. And to be honest I didn't think my mom deserved to be with Robert." Theodore said honestly."Mom, loved to dance. And she made sure Karina followed in her footsteps when she was little. But Karina grew out of it and now she especially hates anyone mentioning it because it reminds her of mom." Theodore sighed."And she loves lilies and roses." Charles said. "How did you know?" Theodore asked surprised. "I did a bit of background check on
Dalia was really happy her son was able to handle the situation. She couldn't sleep the night before because she was worried. But now she could get her beauty sleep. Well that was what she and her son were good at doing. Playing the victim. And she was glad her son was able to do that perfectly gaining the sympathy of the people. After taking a nap she asked the maids to prepare something delicious. She was going to visit her husband and son at the company. With lunch boxes of their favourite food. After dressing up the maids told her the car was ready and so was the lunch. She asked her guards to take the lunch boxes. She headed towards the company with a bright happy smile on her face. Robert was in his office when his secretary knocked on his door."Come in." He said. "Sir, someone is here to see you." His secretary reported. "Who?" Robert asked with a frown, well he didn't recall having anyone in his schedule by this time of day."She doesn't have an appointment but she
Albert immediately headed home. His mom needed him and he knows it. He had a feeling his dad hurt his mom again. That's one of the reasons she always cry's these days. He arrived home and headed straight to her room."Mom. Mom!" He rushed to his mom who was seating on the floor with a sad expression. Her tears had stopped flowing. "Mom are you okay?" Albert asked. "Yes, am fine." Dalia forced a smile. "Mom, you're not fine. You're not fine. What happened?" Albert asked. "It's your dad, it's your dad." Dalia sobbed breaking down. Albert hugged his mom tightly. "You know... I thought being in Kendra's shoes I wouldn't be so hurt when he continues frolicking with other women but... Today, today I just felt betrayed and like I didn't matter to him at all. I felt sad." Dalia sobbed."Mom, you need to start paying less attention to dad and maybe move on." Albert said sternly."What do you mean move on? I love your dad and we're a family now." Dalia said. "But he doesn't love you."
Nathalie knew this was going to happen, her boss was not easy to please and he always wanted something in return for every favor you ask. Had it not been her dad who called she wouldn't even dream of trying to ask the devil a favor."Um sir... I just wanted to ask for a leave just for tomorrow." Nathalie finally found the courage to I speak. "Why are you sick? You know I love productivity and I hate it when people don't take their jobs seriously." Miles her boss said without sparing her a glance. "I understand sir, and no am not sick I just... There's a family emergency." Nathalie said. "Is that so?" Miles asked. "Yes, I promise I would be back to work first thing Friday morning." Nathalie said. "So what do I get in return you still haven't given me an answer?" Miles asked. "What do you want sir?" Nathalie asked. "What I want might not be easy to give. So what can you offer?" Miles asked."I promise to be more diligent." Nathalie said forcing a smile."That's pathetic. But you
Janelle bit her lower lips she wasn't ready to go down a memory lane. "I...""I thought we were friends. But it's obvious you're just pretending to be nice." Theodore said coldly. "Am not okay, and we are friends." Janelle said. "Yeah right." Theodore scoffed. "Am sorry if I made things difficult for you." Janelle said. "Am not affected at all, since you came to apologize and since you've done that, I suggest you leave Miss Ryder I'm busy." Theodore said. "But you haven't let go of your anger just yet am I wrong?" Janelle asked."See you can't even look me in the eye." Theodore said. "There's no such thing Janelle and I forgive you. Good night." Theodore said looking straight into her amber eyes. "Good night Theodore." Janelle uttered walking out of Theodore's room and Theodore focused back on what he was doing on his computer. ~ The next day ~ Nathalie got into her car and headed to her father's mansion which was very far from her condo. She was in deep thoughts as she kep
~ 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
