However, there was nothing she could do.To make things worse, Mr Edward Anderson
DID YOU SIGN A CONTRACT?Annabele was wowed by the ulterior decor of the rooms.Beautiful and expensive paintings hang on the walls.Annabelle looked around with a smile on her face.Reuben was standing right behind her, looking at her with a smile on his face as she admired the placeAnnabele chanced upon one of such paintings. She had to look at it twice.It was a painting of herself and reuben.She looked at the painting and realized it was one of the pictures they took when they got married a few days ago. Annabelle turned around and looked at Reuben, who wore a smile.Annabelle smiled back and walked inside the bedroom.The colours in the room were breathtaking. " Woow," she exclaimed.Reuben walked to her and hugged her from behind." You are welcome home, Annabelle," Reuben said." I love you too, Reuben, " Annabelle replied.
EVERY DECISION HAS CONSEQUENCES" Have you signed a deal with them?" Louisa asked Grandma as she read the heading.Grandma shook her head and pointed to the paper." Read it, and you will understand," Grandma said.Louisa nodded and sat on a chair directly opposite Grandma.She began reading the contents of the contract.As she read about two paragraphs, she paused and aloof at grandma once again." It's just a contract signed by my grandfather and the Brooks.He was just asking for a grant. He might have paid even before his death." Louisa said and looked at grandma.Grandma shook her head in the negative."Read the second and third paragraph on the second page."Louisa quickly flipped to the second page and began reading the part that Grandma had told her.She read the phrase, looked at grandma in surprise, shook her head, and read again." What!!..." she exclaimed in shock" So Grandpa went for a loan and got me married to Reuben." Louisa said as she looked at grandma.Grandma nod
HAVE PITY ON THEM?Reuben woke up to the beep of his phone.He stretched himself on the bed and looked around.Annabelle was sleeping peacefully beside him.Her face was as bright as the morning sun.Reuben smiled and sat up.He tried remembering how he slept off the previous night.When they emerged from the washroom the previous night, they fell into a romantic conversation that night and had a good time together.Afterward, they both stood up to have a second shower and came back to bed, with Annabelle's head on his chest.That was all. They both fell asleep .Reuben looked at Annabelle as she slept peacefully beside him.A trace of a smile on her face.Reuben smiled at her. He sat up on the bed and picked up his phone, and checked it. It was a message from his cousin Andrea." Good morning to the newest ruler in town. Don't
IT'S HIS TIME TO TAKE OVER"Alright, I have heard you guys. You are actually right. So, we are going to go as the deal stated.Now, this is how we are going to go about it.We are going to request a full refund of our money and its interest due the three years. The time frame we will give them is a weekI know for sure they would not be able to pay up.Now, the week also coincides with the time ultimatum the investors gave them for the oil factory.That means, if the time is up and they can not pay either of us, they are going to go bankrupt as a result of the investors pulling out of their business.Now, the Andersons will be down by one.Next, we also demand for their oil factory in compensation of some part of the money they owe.That leaves them with no option than to give in, " Grandpa said." Okay, but how much are we talking about here? " Andrea asked." Principal amount of two million dollars and a total interest of a little over a million dollars for the total three years.
BEING TOO HARD ON THEM??Reuben and Andrea walked out of grandpa's study, leaving him to himself in the room.As they got out, Reuben and Andrea engaged in a conversation as they walked down the hallway." So how are you going to go about it?" Andrea asked." Well, to begin, I will get our lawyer to send them the files and our demand. That will probably be on monday morning.Then we will take it from there, " Reuben said.Andrea nodded." That is cool to start with. But hey, these family are really going to go down on their knees, I tell you.I really think grandpa are really being too hard on them, " Andrea said.Reuben nodded."Yeah, I kinda agree with you. However, I really think he is in for revenge, and I totally agree with them.They deserve that, considering the fact that they treated me like trash when I was with them.I swore to never spare them, and it seems Grandpa is in full support of that." Reuben said and sighed.Andrea nodded and giggled." You know Grandpa was ruthles
A HUGE SUM AND A HUGE NOTEGrandma and Louisa sat looking at each other." What if they have forgotten about this whole thing?" Louisa asked, breaking the silence." That may also be true, but how sure are we? We can only hope, we can't be rest assured." Grandma replied." And how much money did grandpa take from them?" Louisa asked and looked back in the paper, trying to see if she could find any stated amount in the contract." It was not stated there, but I know it must be a very huge sum in total," Grandma replied in a shaky voice." But wait, let's look at the other contents of the box, maybe we'll find something useful in there," Louisa said and stood up from the seat.She motioned towards the scattered items on the floor.She separated the papers from the other items in there and began scrutinizing the papers one but one.Grandma Anderson just sat down and looked at her as she searched through the items." Found it," Louisa finally exclaimed as she stood up with a three paper
END OF THE NOTELouisa wiped a tear that had formed in her eyes and resumed reading the note." ….He wanted his heir to marry my granddaughter, louisa.He stated clearly that Louisa was a good girl, and because of that, he wanted his successor to marry her.I knew it was a double win for me and the family as a whole.Because I will get my granddaughter to marry from the richest family in the country, and still get a grant from them to save the face of this family.So I readily agreed.However, he told me that he had to be sure of the decision he was making, so he wanted his heir to come stay with us for a couple of years.Within those years, he will verify if Louisa is fit enough to marry the heir.The heir would come in the house as a poor boy, and I will not tell anyone about his identity.He also asked me not to tell anyone, not even you, my wife, about it. On the other hand, there were rules to that. I had to abide by those rules, or I would lose.The first was to keep his ident
