"Too many questions, just come with me." Theodore said dragging her away. Janelle followed him regardless. They got into the car and it took them to the same restaurant Janelle went an hour ago. "Why are we here?" Janelle asked. "What do you mean why are we here? We're here to eat." Theodore said nonchalantly. He sat down and Janelle did the same. Theodore went through the menu and ordered what he wanted and Janelle did the same. Theodore whispered something into the waiter's ears and he nodded."What did you say to him?" Janelle asked. "Nothing, do you want me to tell him something?" Theodore asked. "No." Janelle replied and Theodore smiled. Janelle was surprised when she found out that Theodore asked the waiter to double her order. Their table was filled with Janelle's orders. She ordered what she ate when she was a kid. Even though she knew she wasn't seated with her father she just wanted to eat the same thing again. "Why did you double my order?" Janelle asked."Just..
"Hm... I think it's okay but..." Derrick stopped. "But what?" Karina asked her heart in her throat. "Don't be so absurd this is perfect. Literally there's nothing wrong with it. If I where a girl I'd kill this to a party." Derrick joked and Karina laughed."Don't be so dramatic Derrick. Anyway aren't you going back to work?" Karina asked."I can help you. Besides it's Friday. And Theodore isn't in the country. And I can just put it all on I kept you company. Am sure he would spare me for that." Derrick said and Karina laughed."You're going to use me as your excuse for avoiding work?" Karina asked. "Can't I?" Derrick asked and Karina laughed."That's cheating you know." Karina said with a smile. "But it isn't to me." Albert walked into the coffee store as well with a client, his face darkened upon seeing Karina and Derrick. He couldn't believe Karina was out there laughing with some low life guy. Albert escorted the client to a seat and made sure the meeting was brief while Kar
Mark simply didn't care about Janelle. Janelle was usually a loner. Emilia spread rumors about Janelle making everyone think of her as a bad person and as a loser. She hated Janelle for coming into her life and for being a lot more prettier than she was. She was supposed to be the prettiest daughter of the household. And even though she and Janelle didn't have the same last name the fact that they lived under the same roof made her upset. If it had been in her power she would have gotten rid of Janelle. But since she couldn't she had to make sure she doesn't have many friends. And that stuck, Janelle didn't really care about friends. Not until Frank came into her life. He was really nice to her and he was a genuine friend even though Janelle tried to push him away so many times thinking he was a fake just like everyone else but he was persistent. Frank was even her prom date. Even though Emilia wasn't in the same class as Janelle she made sure she wouldn't get a beautiful dress t
Janelle looked round her surrounding. Well there was no one around. "Father, father am coming to you. I don't like it here any more. I just... I just want to see you again. Tell me my coming to you would mean something. And I wouldn't have to suffer like this when am with you?" Janelle asked no one in particular. "Daddy, why didn't you protect me and why am I being wronged? I miss you so much. I miss you." Janelle sobbed. "I guess we would finally be together." She was about to jump when someone grabbed her hands. "Don't!" Charles said sternly. "Let me go, just let me go." Janelle yelled. "Hey kid, you can't just go on killing yourself." Charles said."What do you care? Just let me go." Janelle said trying to get Charles' hands off of hers. Charles pulled her from the edge. Janelle struggled to free herself but Charles' grip was tight. Janelle passed out and Charles asked his men to take her to the hospital and he would be there when he was done with something. Janelle woke
"Yeah, I wished you did too. Maybe then your mom would have believed you." Theodore said. "Don't even bother, my mom is so unreasonable these days. They'd all just claim since he wasn't paying attention to my advances I just wanted to kill him and be over it." Janelle said and Theodore touched her head. "Let's stop talking about them." Theodore said. "You're right." Janelle nodded. "So, other than the fact that you decide to be open with me I wanted to take you out today. Would you go on a date with me?" Theodore asked a smile on his face."Huh?" Janelle asked surprised. "Just a friendly date, am not asking you to be my girlfriend. So you don't have to be nervous." Theodore uttered."Would you?" He asked. "Okay." Janelle nodded.Theodore smiled at her and patted her head. They left the hotel and went shopping. "What exactly are we buying?" Janelle asked. "A bikini." Theodore replied. "What?" Janelle asked. "We're going swimming. Am taking you to the beach." Theodore said.
Theodore felt like slapping his friend from the other side of the phone. "Hey, I want to talk to you, it's very important." Theodore said seriously. "Oh, I didn't know this was an official call." Jasper said. "That's because you didn't let me speak. Anyway, I need you to check something for me." Theodore said. "What is it?" Jasper asked. "Dalia, she came to your bar to get something." Theodore said. "What is it?" "I think a temporary membership. I need you to check it out from your manager." Theodore said. "Okay, am on it." Jasper said soon he got the information Theodore requested. "So this temporary membership, she isn't exactly the person that would use it." Jasper said. "Then why go through... Okay, listen to me I need you to keep a close eye on that room. Or give me access to that room's security feeds I want to see what Dalia is up to." Theodore said. "Hey, just focus on your trip. I'll handle it and I promise when you get back you would see whatever it is you want to
"Fine, do it your way. But hey, why are you so intent on keeping a close eye on Dalia? Okay, other than the fact that she poisoned Karina like you told me why else?" Jasper asked. He wanted to know why Theodore was suspicious of Dalia's movements. Other than what they already know."That witch killed my mother." Theodore said. "What?" Jasper asked confused."Yes, I have a hunch she has something to do with my mother's death. I know you'd say it just speculations and there's no proof of what am saying but I would find proof and I would send Dalia to jail for killing my mother and for poisoning Karina." Theodore said. "I would help however way I can." Jasper assured. "Thank you, but I still have to keep a close eye on Dalia, and probably Albert too." Theodore said. "Why Albert?" Jasper asked. "There's something about him, and I still haven't gotten my revenge yet." Theodore added. "Just be careful Theodore, the revenge path is... Terrifying sometimes." Jasper said. "I have to mak
Albert was watching Karina from a distance. Robert came to the party even though Karina didn't invite him. He wondered why his own daughter didn't invite him to celebrate her success. He knows he wasn't the best father there is but... But he loved her. And yes, he might have acted like he didn't care, or maybe he hadn't had the chance to be a father to her but why would she opt him from her invitation list? "Ma'am, your father is here and is trying to cause a scene." A guard reported. "Just send him away." Karina said coldly. "No, let him in." Charles said. "Dad..." Theodore called out surprised. "Don't worry Theodore, there's nothing he could do. And am sure he wouldn't want to cause a scene so the spotlight be on him. Let him in." Charles said and Karina nodded at the guard and he left to carry out the order. Robert walked into the banquet hall with hurried steps he searched for Karina and found her standing next to Theodore."Karina." He called out."Hi." Karina said plain
