“What are we doing here dressed like this?” Hannah asked her older brother. “Servers. We will be serving the main table for the very important guests.”“Why?” She asked confusedly.“Turns out the owner of the hotel was kind enough to let us do this to get out of jail.” kade replied to her.Cephas had made him sign a non-disclosure agreement that he would not reveal to anyone that he was the CEO of Walter’s company but he was acquaintances of the owner. 7He had no choice but to agree because it was the only way to get his sister out of the damn cell he kept her in.Adjusting her server attire. “Make sure you wear a smile on your face and don’t disrespect anyone, Hannah, we can't afford to get you in trouble again. The punishment would be worse.” he warned her, knowing how his sister could be.He just wanted to do this and get out of Cephas Walter’s reach.“I don't want to do this. I haven't even slept properly on my bed, taken a shower. I just left the Police station, i am sore all
“Oh my day.” Ms Williams screamed. “What are you doing?”“Your heels are broken, and your foot must be sore from limping already.” He answered her as he walked back to his car.They both went silent. His heart flustered severally, he was holding his crush in his arms and he felt like was strong enough to protect her.“Where are you taking me to?” She asked again, breaking the silence.“Home,” he said shortly.“Yours or Mine,?”“That depends on you,” he smirked at her and she gasped. “I am joking, ma’am. I will take you home.” He added entering the back seat of the SUV. He was glad that they brought the SUV.“Ma’am? You no longer work for me, it’s Tyla to you.” she said sternly, rolling her eyes at him.Somehow, Cephas found it sexy. He would be lying if he said he wasn’t strongly attracted to Tyla He put her on the chair carefully, “You still sound like I work for you,” His cute smile revealed his dimple.“I didn't just like the whole Ms Williams thing…”“Don’t call me Mr Green or Mr
Six months ago….“Is this man you married without our permission?” Red Marcus asked her daughter Violet on entering the two bedroom apartment she and her husband had gotten for their daughter before she got married.She sized him from head-to toe. “I thought you said he was rich and got you all you wanted?”“He got me all the things I wanted but he lost his job a day after our wedding.” She replied to her mom.“Just because your father and I did not visit for seven months, you got married to a total bum, look at how unkempt he looks.” She said with distaste.Cephas just stood in one spot, unless to speak for himself“Can he not speak?” Mr Marcus yelled, “Did something clad your tongue?” He asked Cephas but he didn’t respond.“Look at your daughter, she married dumb Yute, she is still living in the apartment we got for her. What sort of nonsense is that? Why didn't she marry Kade who has a stable job?” He complained bitterly.“Don’t blame my daughter, she obviously thought that this ma
“Cephas come and clean up!” Red called from the sitting room. He was busy setting up the rooms for his in-laws.Cleaning up what they ate was outrageous when they knew he was cleaning the rooms out for their sake. At this rate they were being so inconsiderate. He didn’t answer immediately.After cleaning the room he went to the sitting room, they were all watching the TV with the messy table. Hannah was still around, if she was going to stay over it meant that he was going to crampy his long body on the tiny couch.He had signed up for this kind of life when he decided to defy his father so he could not complain or go back. He was going to stay as a poor man till the end of the year like his Father asked him to.“Why are you just coming when I called you a long time ago?” Red asked, as she noticed his presence in the sitting room.He didn't say anything because he didn’t want to be upset, it was his first day with his in-laws, he didn’t want to act rash.“Can’t you give me a resp
Cephas had to do extra jobs so he could afford the extra bills that came with his in-laws being around. He was going to shoulder the whole responsibility. No matter how broke he was, he always performed dutifully.“There was a famous adage that said, buy your in-laws beef to show them they mean alot to you.” he said to him and he took all the money he earned to a beef store.The woman was his usual plug for quality beef. “Good evening ma'am.” he greeted her with a smile on his face. “How is your knee?”“Good evening son, should I give you the usuals?” She asked. “My knee is okay. My daughter took me to the hospital last time and I am fine now.”“That is nice. I am happy for you. No, I want something different tonight. I want the premium beef, the most expensive one.”“That’s expensive, son. It’s about $500 dollars compared to the $50 dollars meat you normally get.” She said with pity in her voice. “I can’t even sell that on credit. It is very costly and it is hard to earn $500 at
He didn't know if he should open them or not, they could have belonged to his wife’s best friend, Hannah not his wifeIf she walked in and caught him going through the gift boxes, she would talk down on him and disrespect him like she always did.She never failed in showing her hatred for him whenever she was around him. He respects her for his wife’s sake because of how close and inseparable they were.Asides him, Hannah was the only one that could take his wife’s nonchalant behavior. She cared about nobody except herself.If the whole world was burning she was the type of person to walk out alone without saving anyone, even her parents. Everyone knew about that. She had told him in the past that she didn’t have an exact good relationship with her parents so he was still confused about why they had ganged up against him.He was suffering for her sake, because he really loved her and wanted to be her. He could return to his father and forsake everything right now but he considered t
The next morning, Cephas woke up and made his way to the kitchen to get a glass of water.He saw Red in the kitchen at the stove. He wondered what she was cooking so early in the morning but he didn't want to ask so that she wouldn't feel like he was interrogating him and start feeling unwelcome. "Good morning" He said to her as he passed by her side to get the glass of water. She didn't reply to him as she continued what she was doing. He saw that she was just boiling water and he wondered if she wanted to take tea or coffee. He filled his glass with water and drank it before making his way to the door. "Wait, don't go yet. I need your help with something" she said before turning to him with the kettle of hot water.He turned back to her to ask her what she needed and saw that she was walking fast towards him with the kettle hurriedly with a scowl on her face as she looked like she was about to pour it on him.Before she could get to him, her legs hit the cupboard and she trippe
Cephas hit his head continuously on the car, Red had meticulously put him in trouble after falling into the trap she set for him. He could not think straight, everyone was blaming him for the incident and there was nothing he could do or say to defend himself. The situation was in a dead end, he wished he had stayed in bed like his guts had told him out. That damn thrist made him stand up, he could have stayed without water but now he was thinking of ways to face his in-laws again. He also thought of ways to tell Mr Marcus that he didn’t pour the hot water on her but No Evidence to prove his innocence, that didn’t matter. He rubbed his chin as he felt the pain from the punch. Even if Mr Macus and Violet knew the truth, they would still pick on him purposely. He had discovered they were obsessed with picking on him in the past few days. He believed that his wife was acting like that because her parents were around and she would go back to how things were in the past. He didn’t st
