“Good evening, Mr Walter.” Mr Marcus ushered Cephas in like he was a king. This gesture made him chuckle to himself.“Good evening to Mr Marcus.” Cephas said as he sat in the special seat they had prepared for him. In the past whenever he sat on the table, they made him sit on a broken chair but they now treat him differently because he was rich.Mr Marcus and Violet’s rude cousin, Red began to serve the meal for dinner on the table. Cephas took note that they even bought expensive steak to please him.“Please enjoy your meal, my cooking can be tacky atimes,” Mrs Marcus said.Cephas grabbed a spoon and took a bite of the food. “You are right. Your cooking is so tacky, very salty. This is the worst meal I have tested since I stopped living here.”A smirk crept on his face as the smile on Mrs Marcus added into a frown. Mr marcus cleared his throat and signaled to his wife to excuse them.“I am sorry that it wasnt to your taste, next time, we will go to a fancy restaurant that suits your
Tyla stood by the window of her cozy apartment in California, gazing out at the city skyline as the sun dipped below the horizon, casting hues of orange and pink across the sky. She had been enjoying life lately, the old spark in her was back, it was probably the fact that she got to speak with Cephas again. The excitement that replaced the feeling of anticipation and fear in her.It was like she would never see him again. Her mom was more happy to see that she was happy like before. She was starting to cook and bake like before plus she had been eating well too.Last time she checked her weight, she realized that she had gained every pound that she had lost. Even if she was going to end up seeing Cephas, she didn’t want him to see her looking scrawny.Her phone buzzed on the table nearby, pulling her attention away from the mesmerizing view. She picked it up and saw Cephas's name flashing on the screen. With a smile, she answered the call."Tyla, it's Cephas," his deep voice greete
Sarah sat at her desk in the sleek office of Walter Corporation, her mind buzzing with a devious plan.The news of her step-brother Cephas's ridiculous offer to his ex-wife's family had reached her ears, and she intended using that to her advantage. Sarah, driven by envy and resentment, decided to take matters into her own hands.She leaned back in her leather chair, a sly smile playing on her lips as she dialed Violet's number. Violet, Cephas's ex-wife, answered after a couple of rings, her voice laced with curiosity. "Hello?""Violet, darling, it's Sarah," Sarah said, feigning warmth in her tone."Sarah? What can I do for you?" Violet asked, her guard slightly up. “I don’t think I know who you are.”"”I am Cephas and Abraham’s little sister, for someone that had an active sex with my brother in the past and was married to my other brother. I just heard about the offer Cephas made to your family. Quite generous, isn't it?" Sarah said, carefully choosing her words.Violet hesitated be
The atmosphere at Walter Corporation became increasingly tense. The Steel siblings were awfully quiet while their Walter brother was busy making millions Cephas, unaware of the treachery brewing behind his back, continued to work diligently as the chairman, striving to make the company better..Meanwhile, Sarah wasted no time in putting her plan into action. She discreetly spread rumors within the company about Cephas's being removed from the company, which made uncertainty spread among the employees. She painted a picture of incompetence, and people started doubting Cephas's leadership abilities.Even Anta and Jose were not able to catch the wind of rumors Sarah was spreading because they were busy with managing the sub companies and CW investment alongside Cephas.They had to inspect the sales and ensure that there were no lapses in their works. Violet, now a silent ally to Sarah, played her part perfectly. She subtly went against Cephas during meetings, questioning his decisions
As the day of Tyla's arrival drew near, Cephas found himself consumed with thought. He couldn't wait to see her again, to feel her presence by his side after what felt like an eternity apart. With each passing moment, his excitement grew, and he knew that he couldn't focus on anything else until she was safely in his arms."Suspend all appointments for today," Cephas instructed his assistant, Anta, as he entered his office early in the morning. "I'll be picking Tyla up from the airport, and I want everything to be clear for the rest of the day."Anta nodded in understanding, her expression reflecting the same excitement that Cephas felt. "Of course, sir," she replied. "I'll take care of it right away."As Anta busied herself with rearranging his schedule, Cephas turned his attention to his other assistant, Jose, who was diligently working on his laptop."Jose, I need you to handle any urgent matters that may come up while I'm away," Cephas said, his voice showing that he was in a hur
After Tyla's return, Cephas was determined to make every moment they spent together memorable. As evening approached, he decided to take her on a romantic date, a gesture to express his love and gratitude for her unwavering support and companionship."Tyla, are you ready?" Cephas called out, excitement sounded in his voice as he approached her. He found her in the living room, dressed in an elegant black dress that accentuated her natural beauty.Tyla turned to him, a smile gracing her lips as she took in his appearance. "I'm ready," she replied, her eyes sparkling with happiness.Cephas offered her his arm, and together they made their way to the waiting car. As they drove through the city streets, Cephas couldn't help but steal glances at Tyla, marveling at how beautiful she was.Their destination was a secluded restaurant overlooking the city skyline, a place that held special significance for Cephas. He had reserved a private table for two, ensuring that they would have uninterrup
The rumors about Cephas's alleged removal continued to circulate, creating an air of uncertainty among the employees. Cephas, determined to salvage the situation, worked tirelessly to reassure the board and regain their trust.In the midst of the chaos, Sarah continued her manipulation behind the scenes. She held clandestine meetings with Violet, strategizing their next moves to ensure Cephas's downfall. Together, they planted seeds of dissent among the employees, further eroding the support Cephas had worked so hard to build.One day, as Cephas was in his office reviewing reports, Sarah knocked on the door, a faux sympathetic expression on her face. "Cephas, can I come in? We need to talk."Cephas motioned for her to enter, a sense of weariness in his eyes. "What is it, Sarah?""I've been hearing more rumors, Cephas. The board is seriously considering a change in leadership. You need to do something before it's too late," Sarah said, her voice dripping with false concern.Cephas sig
Over the next few days, Tyla settled back into her routine in New York, catching up with old friends and acquaintances while also diving into her work at Wills Pastry. With Cephas's help, she was able to get the company up and running again, using her recipes to create delicious pastries that quickly re-gained popularity.But despite her success, Tyla couldn't shake the feeling that something was wrong. She couldn't quite put her finger on it, but there was a sense of unease lingering in the air, like a storm brewing on the horizon.One evening, as Tyla was closing up shop at Wills Pastry, she couldn't shake the feeling of being watched. She glanced around nervously, but the street outside was deserted, bathed in the soft glow of the streetlights. Shaking her head, she ignored her fears and locked up the shop before heading home for the night.But as she walked through the darkened streets of New York, she couldn't shake the feeling that something was wrong. She quickened her pace,
