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
"Well I've had friends over the years but it turns out they're all fake. Including Frank." Janelle sighed."I see, I guess I can be a true friend to you. If you want." Theodore said and Janelle smiled. "I'll take that as a yes." Theodore smiled back.~ The Next Day ~ Janelle already had her luggage ready. She was going back to her home. Her comfort. She had been living alone for a few years and it was a bit soothing for her. Except when Frank came to visit. Only then does she have company. She had promised she wouldn't go see her mom even when she calls or texts her to come. Charles was right it was time she forgot about them. She shouldn't think too much about her mother cause she would only be more saddened by the past.She heard a knock on her door."Come in." She said. "Hey, I see you're already packed." Theodore said. "I guess." Janelle uttered. "I'll drive you home." Theodore offered."No, you don't need to." "Dad asked me to. And I want to as well so... Please." Theodo
She couldn't believe Theodore bought it for her. Theodore saw her longing stare and he thought the dress would look good on her. She had given up on dressing up really pretty and was used to dressing up like the secretary she was. While she was living with her mom and step father they never let her dress up nice she was always on pants. And even at that Emilia was still jealous of her. She saw a smaller gift box and opened it. It was a beautiful necklace and there was also a card in it. 'Hey, I know you're going to say 'this is too much I can't accept it.' But don't, the necklace isn't a parting gift but of agreeing to be my friend.Let's just say it's a bribe. I'll see you at the office.' The card read and Janelle chuckled.~ The Next Day ~ Janelle arrived at the office with the necklace on her neck. Theodore saw it and smiled. He didn't think she'd really accept it but she did. It would seem the little card did play it's role. He couldn't be more happy. After work hours J
"I guess you finally got revenge for me hitting your bitch of a daughter." Janelle said coldly. Holding her cheeks."Are you ready to leave?" Janelle asked. "You're such an ungrateful daughter. After everything I've done for you and because of you." Vanessa said. "You did most things because of yourself. If there was anything you did for me, it would be before you started dating Mark." Janelle said her voice devoid of emotions. "Just come to the party." Vanessa said. "Don't bother expecting me." Janelle said. Vanessa angrily left Janelle's house and she broke down in tears. She dialed Theodore's number as she was struggling to breathe."Hey, don't tell me you miss me already?" Theodore joked."Theodore." Janelle called out with a choked voice."Janelle what's wrong?" Theodore asked surprised and worried at the same time. "Theodore, please help." Janelle sobbed. "Hey am on my way. Just try be okay before I arrive." Theodore said. He had just finished taking a shower and changi
Theodore watched as Janelle happily ate her dinner and chuckled. "Why aren't you eating?" Janelle asked. "Am just admiring you." Theodore said. "Why?" Janelle asked. "You're like my first official fan. You love my cooking." Theodore said. "Oh, am sure a lot of people would also agree to you being a good cook. Go on eat your dinner." Janelle said. "Okay." Theodore said as he continued eating his dinner as well. After dinner Janelle offered to do the dishes but Theodore asked her to rest. Janelle decided to watch him after Theodore was done with cleaning he held Janelle's hands. "I asked you to get some rest, why aren't you sleeping?" He asked. "You're the guest, this is your first time in my house but I made you work..." Janelle said biting her lips. "Am not complaining." Theodore said. "Janelle." "Yes." She answered."Don't you think you should go back to therapy. Am not saying you're going crazy but... You get all emotional with the people from your past." Theodore said.
Theodore had it in mind to go home earlier than working hours and he wanted Janelle to come with him. "Mr Wyatt, there's no more meeting that we need to attend and..." Janelle was saying. "Actually there is one meeting we need to attend. It's a last minute call, and you're coming with me." Theodore said and Janelle nodded. "Make sure to get everything you'd be needing. Cause we won't be coming back to the office till tomorrow." Theodore added. "Okay, sir." Janelle headed out of Theodore's office and Theodore decided to finish everything thing on his desk immediately. He walked towards the parking lot with Janelle, Leo and two other guards. Theodore saw a familiar figure walking towards him and he frowned knowing exactly who it was. "Theodore." Nathalie called out."Why are you here Nathalie?" Theodore asked."I came to see you of course." Nathalie replied with a bright smile. "I see. And whoever gave you the idea that I wanted to see you?" Theodore asked. "Theodore, am sorry
"I guess that little business trip did make you two close." Charles said. "So you now understand why I care about her so much. She's someone with unstable emotions. And I don't want her to hurt herself again." Charles said. "What did her mother tell her?" Charles asked knowing Janelle told him about it. "Theodore I need to know." Charles added but Theodore was reluctant to say a thing."But I promised her I wouldn't tell you. And dad please don't worry I'll protect her too just like I'll do Karina." Theodore assured. "Just tell me, you're not breaking your promise to her. It's high time I thought the Dawson's a lesson or two. I've always left them out of it but..." Charles was saying when Theodore stopped him."Dad, since you know her mom went to see her yesterday why don't you ask her yourself?" Theodore asked. "You know Janelle kinda really looks up to you." Theodore added."Fine, I don't want to be the reason why you broke your promise I'll handle this myself." Charles said wi
"Well, well, well, dad at least I wasn't the one who cause a scandal this time?" Albert said with a cocky smile."You watch your mouth Albert." Robert glared."Really dad? You know had this not have affect the business I'd say it was a good thing that this was made public so everyone can know how despicable you are." Albert said."You ungrateful child." Robert cursed about to hit Albert. "What? Are you going to hit me? Are you?" Albert asked. "Both of you stop arguing. Albert that's enough." Dalia said."Mom, why do you keep taking his side?" Albert asked. "Albert sweetie, no matter what he's done. He is still your father." Dalia said. "Yeah right. And you love him so much right? Mom wake up to reality. This man isn't capable of loving you with all his heart." Albert said. "Albert!" Robert called out angrily he was displeased with Albert's words. "You know before I used to be jealous of Kendra. Thinking to the outside world she was known as your wife while mom and I were just...
