The two men shared a known look, one outfit was more expensive than the other. The one with the most expensive tuxedo signaled to the second one;“ I need you to follow those two women, then report back to me. I don't trust them at all and my instinct is telling me they are up to no good. Make sure none of them notice you. You must be discreet about everything you do” He commanded “ Yes boss! I will report back to you as soon as I smell any foul play” The second man replied with a slight bow.The two men conversing were Felix Rodriguez and his personal assistant, Chase Clinton. When Felix received Andrea's message the previous night, he knew Josephine and her daughter had an evil plan. From the little time he had gotten acquainted with Andrea's family, he knew every step the poor lady took was controlled by her mother. He wasn't worried about the arrangement because all Josephine needed was money, but when Nathan's sudden wealth had been noticed by them, the woman would start another
It took both of them a while before they could come out of the shock. Josephine sighed heavily, then she faced her daughter in anger;“ Get in the car, dummy. This is all your fault” she barked.Andrea opened her mouth to reply to her mother but she swallowed it. She was clearly having anxiety and she had no one to rescue her from her wicked mother. Her father, who could have supported her, had become useless since the downfall of his company and had since then been controlled by Josephine, his wife.Andrea was left with no choice, so she reluctantly entered the car with her mother.Josephine parked the car at the parking lot of their house, then she marched in without looking back at her daughter. She banged the door locked as soon as Andrea entered their living room, then she slapped her across her face.“ What kind of stupid stunt did you pull out there? Why did you squeeze your face and behave as if you were in pain when we got to the doctor's office? Haven't I warned you to compo
Josephine was stunned with her daughter's question, but her mood was switched instantly;“ Can you please wheeled her into the operation theater before it's too late, doctor? It's obvious the pain she is battling with has affected her brain, so she's spewing nonsense from her mouth. Hurry up please, I don't want anything to happen to my baby girl” she said with a lot of concern. This pretentious act wasn't noticed by the doctor, but Andrea refused to be deceived. She was very sure her mother poisoned her drink, but she didn't have any evidence, so she kept quiet.Two hours later, the doctor came out of the operation theater with a sad look. He sighed heavily as he got to Josephine's side.Josephine rushed to hold his hand as she sighted the doctor, “ How was it? Is my baby okay?” She asked The doctor stared at her from head to toe, “ I doubt she is her real mother. All her acts are pretentious and she looked more calm for a woman whose daughter is undergoing surgery” he thought.“ I
The barring voice of Alex made Meghan and Nathan halted their steps. Meghan stepped backward a little and she bowed her head in respect. She couldn't bare to watch Alex's angry face, so she kept looking down as she uttered an apology.“ I'm very sorry, my lord. Prince Nathan has not been used to his new lifestyle, that's why he didn't know the do’s and don't of the royal family”Alex's anger was subdued by Meghan's apology, but Nathan was left confused. He was battling internally, whether he should confront his uncle for his meaningless anger or not, but his inner courage won.“ I don't think she should be the one to apologize, in fact, she shouldn't be apologizing at all, because none of this was her fault” Nathan expressed his concern.Alex chuckled before replying his nephew, “ You know nothing about the royal household and its norms, that's why you are saying this, but I believe Meghan knows better. I handed you over to her to learn some basic principles and practices of royalty,
"What the hell kept you so long?" A middle aged woman yelled at Nathan, who just came back from the warehouse."I apologize ma'am, I've been looking for the particular product that you requested for and it took long before I was able to locate it" Nathan answered, panting heavily because he ran inside in order not to keep the customer waiting."How would you see it when you are blind? Didn't you know that you have wasted my precious time? Gosh!" She hissed loudly, sending him a disdainful look.Nathan was stunned, he left in less than ten minutes and he still had to face this level of insult? Nevertheless, he had to apologize and let bygones be bygone.He turned back to continue his work when the woman's voice came again."Aren't you going to apologize for wasting my time?" She yelled at Nathan, who seemed to be confused."What's happening here?" Chris, the manager, came closer to them.Nathan opened his mouth to explain what happened but the woman immediately cut him off."Where did
At the sound of her name, Andrea cursed loudly and she hurriedly covered herself with a duvet.“ Shit! Shit! Why didn't you lock the door?” She cried out at the man beside her, who hadn't raised his head from the bed. “ Wha…what are you doing at home by this time of the day, Nathan? Aren't you supposed to be at work?” She stammered and bowed her head in shame.Nathan widened his eyes at the foolish question asked by his girlfriend, “ shouldn't I be asking you that same question?” He asked, disgustingly staring at the naked body he had always wished to see. Despite staying under the same roof and married for almost two years, Andrea had not bathed or undressed in his presence. She told him she was protecting her body for the right time for when they bought their house. He gritted his teeth as he saw her flaunting the nakedness he thought he was preserving for only himself.“ Erm, I was having a little headache and Mr Felix here brought me home to rest. It's not what you are thinking,
Still in shock, Nathan batted his eyelashes twice to be sure he wasn't dreaming. With a shaky voice, he faced his soon-to-be ex-wife, “Your house? I paid for everything in this house with my sweat. If anyone is to leave this house, that would be you and your family!, so pack your things and leave this house!”Andrea smiled wickedly, she walked seductively around him, then she uttered with a deadly glare, “ Have you forgotten this house was bought in my name? If you don't want to be disgraced, I will advise you to pack your things and leave this house quietly, because legally, this house is mine”Hot tears continued pouring out of his eyes. He couldn't believe he had been tricked by the woman he loved. Not only had he lost his woman, he had also lost the house he struggled to pay its mortgage.“ How could you do this to me? Do you even have a heart at all?” he lamented. He had trusted the wrong person and he had lost everything he worked hard for.With no hope left for him, he knew his
Detached from the normal physical world, Nathan found himself in a strange environment. The place was a flat mountain surrounded by clouds. What was magnificent about the new place was that the mountain didn't touch the ground surface, nor was it in the sky. It was placed in-between the earth and heaven.Initially, Nathan was feeling lost and disoriented, “ Where is this strange place? Why am I here? What brought me to this place?”. These were all the unanswered questions going through his mind. He shouted on top of his voice, “ Hello! Hello!, Who is here please?”When he didn't get any response, a great fear consumed him. He started walking around the mountain randomly. “ Am I dead? Oh no! I can't be dead. I promised mom to be a great man, so it's not possible for me to be dead now” he lamented.He was still lost in thought and confusion, when the cloud opened and a deep raging fire emerged from it. The fire was moving towards his direction with a force, that was when Nathan sensed
