Chapter 35 Not long after, Rose walked down the stairs and she was holding a paper. She walked straight to where Michael was standing and shoved the paper that was in her hand to his face. “Sign this paper now!” She commanded. Michael was surprised at her action as he looked around, trying to get an explanation. “Sign? What's the paper for? And why do you want me to sign them?” He asked and stopped cleaning. Everyone stood on their feet, looking puzzled as they went closer to watch the scene unfold. “I'm tired of living and spending my life with a low-life man like you, Michael. Can't you see that my mates are making a mockery of me just because I got married to someone like you? I'm tired for Christ's sake.” “I understand. But how is that related to me signing a paper?” He asked, his eyes lingered on the papers that were on the ground. But he couldn't read what was written on them. “Because I don't want you in my life any longer. In case you don't know, it's a divor
Chapter 36 Michael was about to speak but a hand pushed him from behind, and he couldn't tell who it was. And the door was slammed to his face but he echoed out in anger. "You all will pay dearly for this day." Michael voiced out in anger from outside and everyone heard it since it was in anger that he said it. Outside the house, in front of the booted door, Michael could feel a stiff movement in his steps. He tried forcing himself to shake off the whole scene and move on with his life but it was like something was dragging him backward. The love he had for Rose was something no one could fathom, not even himself. It was this same love that made him leave his parents just to live with the love of his life, Rose. But now, he was feeling as if someone was stabbing him with several knives. After all the humiliations he had faced from both her and her family yet she still chose to betray him despite years of being in the marriage. That was the worst of it all. But one thing w
Chapter 37 “Please do, big sis. I can't wait to have Fred as my new brother-in-law.” Joseph chirped in. “I will, Joseph.” ****** The next morning, Uncle John took Michael to a sophisticated building that was made of Gold. After half an hour of driving inside the estate, they finally stopped, and two able-bodied men in black suits came out and opened the door for them with a slight bow. They both came down almost at the same time since Uncle John made use of the left-hand door and Michael the right-hand door. The moment that they stepped down, Michael's eyes darted around everywhere. The whole compound was well-cleaned. He wasn't perplexed since he was already swimming in wealth but he didn't understand why Uncle John had brought him to such a place that was in the form of a paradise on earth. Immediately, a group of maidservants came running out of the house to welcome them. Michael, at this moment, was dressed in his wealthy suit, and no one needed to be told tha
Chapter 38 A hint of shock ran through Michael's eyes and he could feel more pain than before. “What do you mean by that?” His eyes bore into Uncle John's. Uncle John took a deep breath and let out a facade smile. “It's nothing too serious. Just go and take your bath first, then come over for breakfast and I will explain everything better to you.” Uncle John said, trying to cool Michael's mind, which was already beating faster. Michael looked at him and wasn't convinced because he knew what he heard and it was mind-blowing. “Are you sure you're ok?” Michael's eyes filled with sadness and concern. “Yes. Just go and take your bath and come back.” Michael hesitated a bit but Uncle John gestured at him to go. He stared at him before taking a move but on his way, he turned and looked at Uncle John again with a worried look before going. Michael's mind was filled with billions of questions as he headed to one of the rooms that the maid took him to. Being desperate to k
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
