Chapter 39“Who are you, please?" Michael asked politely, trying to keep his voice steady. "I mean, am I not speaking with my Grandma? Grandma Isabella?" "I'm sorry but she's currently on treatment, sir." "What? On treatment? What happened to her?" Michael panicked.“I'm sorry I have to attend to her now. Please, come over to the hospital and see her for yourself.” “The name of the hospital, please?” Michael quickly asked before the Doctor could hang up. He began to bite his lips as he got up from his seat, walking here and there. Suddenly, his phone lit up for a message and quickly he opened it.It was a message that bore the name of the hospital in it.Quickly, he ran up the stairs heading to his room. “Grandma, I won't let anything happen to you.” He was talking under a fast breath until he got to his room.He swiftly removed his expensive clothes, slipped back into his worn clothes, and headed outside with a run as if he had been chased after. The maids were all astonished as
Chapter 40 Everywhere was silent as no one could speak. Suddenly, they heard a familiar voice. “Yes, Doctor. I'm the one.” Everyone turned, looking shocked. “What are you doing here, you fool?” Rose screamed at him as she saw him silently walk in. He ignored her and walked closer to where the Doctor was standing but the Doctor took a step backward, feeling irritated by his look. He shook his head before looking at everyone and he could still feel their hatred towards him. “Doctor, I'm the one. The Michael she is craving to see.” He directed the words to the Doctor after ignoring everyone's looks. He hadn't come for any of them but it was just for the sake of Grandma Isabella that he had come. However, Doctor Charles stared at him, looking him from his head down to his toe with a disgusting look. It took everything in him not to order the bodyguards to throw him out of the ward. “Are you sure you are Michael?” Charles asked him in disbelief. He took a proper look at
Chapter 41The doctor checked his phone for the alert and was astonished as he found it hard to close his mouth. “That's the money and the $100,000 is for you to remain shut. Don't tell anyone that I was the one who paid, just discharge her when it's time.”He was on the verge of walking out when he turned to the Doctor one more time before leaving. “Make sure you keep me anonymous.”The Doctor headed continuously as he watched him walk out and he couldn't stop staring at his phone screen.*****Michael was already on his way back home when his phone began to ring inside his pocket. He brought it out and pressed the green button that served as an answer button.“Hey, Michael! Where did you go without the bodyguards?” Uncle John's concerned voice was heard over the call. He only wanted to know his way about since one of the bodyguards had called him earlier, telling him about the situation that took place after he left.“Actually I went to see Grandma Isabella. I was told that she wa
Chapter 42 She furrowed her brows at him. She was just about to say something when Joseph interrupted. “I'm sorry, Brother Fred but she doesn't eat anything that's been prepared outside. You can go to the kitchen and prepare something for her since you'll become her husband soon. Michael had been doing that.” Fred's facial expression turned into a heavy sour. Joseph has been someone who always runs his mouth at guys who he sees around his sister. “I'm sorry but…” Fred was stammering in words when Rose joined in the conversation. “He's rich so he won't be able to do that.” “Yes, Joseph. Your sister is right.” ‘Oh, I see…” Joseph popped his eyes out. “But I have seen in Movies where rich husbands cook for their wives.” “That's in Movies and not in reality.” Suddenly, the doorbell rang and all their gazes were fixed to the door's direction. Fully convinced that it was the snacks he ordered online that had just arrived, Fred bolted himself to the door and twisted
Chapter 43“Thank you.” Michael appreciated, feeling a sense of ease wash over him.“Now that you're richer. Do you still plan on taking revenge on those who humiliated and mistreated you in the past?”Michael stood up with the glass of juice in his hand and took a sip while Uncle John stared at him. “Yes! They all will pay for hurting me.” There was contempt in his eyes as he said. “She used me like a piece of rag and dumped me because I had nothing but now that I have something and everything, I'll show her how painful it's to get betrayed by someone you love and trust.”His craving for revenge was heavily written on his face. He wants them to feel how he had once felt.“You have everything it takes to do that if that's what you wish.”Uncle John wasn't going to stop him from doing what seemed good to him.“I won't forgive them for all they did to me.” At this moment, Uncle John was silent. He knew how hurt it was. And if he happens to be in his shoes he would probably do the same
Chapter 44There was a brief silence as Rose stepped closer to Fred. Cordelia then moved closer to Paul.“Haha, look at who is talking.” She laughed heavily at Rose. “You think I don't know your evil plans? Why have you come here with Fred instead of your stinky and poverty-birthed husband?”She couldn't hold herself from making Rose's life a laughingstock. Because the bodyguards were there.“You're so ashamed of bringing him with you to see the CEO because you know he is going to kick the both of you out….”“That's enough, Cordelia!” Fred shouted at her, using his five right-hand fingers to stop her from furthering her words.“That's enough. I won't have you insult her any longer. Have some manners and know your place and limit.” He defended Rose and warned Cordelia. He'll soon become her husband so he won't stand to have anyone insult her in his presence. Cordelia wasn’t stunned at all because she knew how crazy Fred was madly in love with Rose back then in school.But why is he d
Chapter 45 “You may proceed to see him, sir and ma.” She smiled at them as she informed them that the CEO had agreed to meet with them. There was a form of smile that played beside their mouths as they trailed to the elevator, which would take them to where the CEO's office was located. Immediately, they stepped down from the elevator and moved to reach out the door but were baffled as the bouncer that was standing at the door's position blocked them, shaking his head. Paul was afraid but Cordelia wasn't the type that gets intimidated easily. “Where are you going?” The bouncer asked, looking at them with a little disgust in his eyes as if they weren't properly dressed. “We're here to see the CEO,” Paul replied, trying to keep his voice polite and steady. He didn't like the look of this man that was right in front of him. “Do you have any appointment with him?” The bouncer's facial expression grew callous. Paul was still about to reply this time but Cordelia had alr
Chapter 46 It was like a burden was lifted off her shoulder. “Attention everyone! Please, let's be silent as we watch and listen as they announce the generous CEO's name.” Joseph funnily said. For almost 30 minutes, there was silence in the room as they all stared at the small-sized TV screen, watching John Wilfred speak. They couldn't get their eyes off the screen as they eagerly waited for John to introduce on stage the new CEO. After an hour of watching, the session was over, but the new CEO wasn't seen, nor did John Wilfred make mention of his name. This was very strange as they all frowned their faces. This has never been the usual way that such a thing has been done. So why has it been changed now? “There's nothing strange and suspicious about this new CEO.” Stephen groaned bitterly, twisting his face in a heavy frown. He instantly gripped the TV remote control from Joseph and turned off the television. “What do you mean by that, Dad?” Joseph was also weari
