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
Cephas listened to his wife, he had no other Choice but to move out. He picked a few clothes with him to the office the next morning because she gave him an ultimatum to leave before her mom arrives.Red was going to arrive later in the day so he left when he woke up. He took the situation very seriously and he planned on taking more delivery shifts so he could earn some tangible money. He had been staying in the company’s dorm for over two weeks and his wife had not called him for once to come home. The day had been especially hectic because they had many cake orders to deliver, since he was doing the 24 hours shift. He dragged himself up the stairs of the ccompany.His body was numb and he was in so much pain, he could not even feel himself. He held onto the stairs railing as he walked. The Elevators were under maintenance because it was 2am in the morning. “Cephas?” Ms Williams who happened to be walking down the stairs called. She has noticed Cephas’ abnomal working schedule but
“Is this the famous Airbus A380 the chairman just purchased?” Jose asked Anta. He was still in awe of the big transport bird that was standing before him.Never has he seen such a thing before. He had traveled on normal airplanes but none of them could compare to what was staring before him.“According to the information I have with me, yes. It is.” Anta replied to him. “Daebak, This is a beaut!”“Let’s go in,” Cephas said quietly, containing his excitement in him. He never expected to get a private jet with his name on it. In the past whenever he went on business trips and the likes, he always took a business class flight. His Father didn’t release any of his planes to him.His step mother played a big role in that, he immediately planned of psy them a visit after finalizing his deal with Marcus publishing.“It is said that the chairman just acquired this at 200 billion dollars, as it had not been released to the market . That means you are the first and only Magnate to ride this
Cephas unfastened his belt. He was about to get up to explore the jet then the air hostess came back to them. “Good evening Mr Walter, I am sorry for demanding you to leave earlier. It’s a big mistake on my part.”“It’s fine Miss, you are only doing your job.”“Thank you for not taking it to heart sir.”“You are welcome, Miss.” He looked at her tag to get her name. “Miss Clara, right?”“Yes sir, our trip to Arizona will take about two hours. I will bring some light you can eat or would you prefer our six course meal?”As he was about to reply, his stomach grumbled.“The six-course meal will do.” Jose replied with professionality. “Noted sir, I will be back in a few minutes.” The air hostess smiled and bowed before leaving.“You only become professional when it comes to food, “Anta fired at Joose but he stuck his tongue at her.“I want to take a look at this place first.” Cephas said to his assistants.“As much as I'd like to follow you sir, I need a quick nap before the food comes.
“Have a safe journey and I will be back to serve you when you return to Atlanta.” The air hostess bowed.“Me too, please ensure that your team keeps this flight and my identity confidential.” Cephas said.“We will sir, our contracts stated it. You can count on us that we won’t reveal anything happened on the airplane. It’s all part of our job.”“Miss, Clara, thank you so much for the reassurance.”“Anytime sir.”“Until next time,” He shook her hands and proceeded to adjust his suit while he walked down the plane.“I feel so refreshed from my sleep.” He said, stretching his hands.“You only slept for less than twenty minutes, sir,” Anta said. “That was less than twenty minutes?” he asked in surprise.“Yes sir. Was it longer than you thought?”“Exactly, Jose where id the car and who is driving us?” Cephas asked, looking around.“That is it.” Jose pointed at a white car that looked old and crampy.“Is that what you booked?” Anta roared in anger. “You expected Big Boss to ride in that ol
