Chapter 3 - Loser
Cephas and Violet walk out of the divorce court after finalizing their divorce case.He was so sad to let Violet go but she didn’t want him anymore. There was nothing he could do about it.He had been begging her but she fell on deaf ears.He had even explained that he was expecting some money. She told him to move on with his life.She was done with him!“I hope women are wise enough to stay away from a broke man like you so their lives won’t be miserable.” She said scornfully to him.“Are you saying your life with me was miserable? When I gave you all you asked for?”“Getting me bags and shoes that were out of season isn’t living miserably? See why you don’t deserve to have any woman in your life,”She sized him from head to toe. “I made a terrible mistake marrying you. Hopefully no one else does the same. Take a look at all I wore today, kade bought them for me.”“I have bought more things for you, would it kill you if you tried to be satisfied with what I got you?”“Satisfied with the rags you used to get for me? I forbid it. I have found a man that can offer me better things. He can offer you a job if you don’t mind.”“I don’t need a job from him. Take care.”“You sure? Oh, my baby is here.” She pointed at Kade and walked away from him.He watched her jump on Kade, her boyfriend carelessly. She was rubbing her new relationship in his face.“Finally, I am free from the shackles of staying married to a broke man,” She exclaimed happily.She planted a passionate kiss on his face in front of everyone. They had not even digested the news of their divorce.She was back with another man, letting him run his mouth over hers. He could not stop staring at her actions.The wedding band he gave her came flying at him, she had thrown it to signify that she no longer wanted anything to do with him.Her boyfriend walked her down the stairs in front of the law court to his shining mercedes benz that stood gallantly before them.Just before he could open the door for Violet to get in, a Lamborghini drove on its highest speed and rammed into the Mercedes benz.The benz got thrashed and damaged. Kade’s face turned red seeing the state of his car.He was angry because he had just purchased the car before coming to pick Violet up and he spent a lot of money on it.He wanted to show her that he was better than her good for nothing husband.Everyone turned to look at the driver behind the Lamborghini wheels while they silently whispered.“Who’s that in the lamborghini?”“Is that not Lord Kade?”“They just bashed Lord Kade’s Mercedes Benz, does that not cost a lot?”“The Lamborghini is even more expensive. The owner of the car must be rich to have driven that car recklessly.”The Driver of the Lamborghini threw the door open and everyone gasped.A lady came out wearing a pair of sky blue pants and blazer and a pure white camisole with expensive black stilettos to match and a pair of designer shades.She ran towards Cephas and pulled him in for a warm embrace. “Brother, I had lost the best person but now I have found you.” She whispered to him.“You have had quite enough of these, we should go home. let’s go,” She pulled away from the hug and held his hand.Just when they proceeded to the Lamborghini, Violet screamed.“Wait there Cephas!” Cephas and his sister stopped in their tracks and they turned to face her.“Do you think I can’t see through your teeth?” She glared at him.“What is she saying?” Sarah asked her brother, Cephas shrugged in response.“You brought an actress to come and pretend to be your new woman, right? You can’t get me back with your cheap schemes.”“I don’t understand you, Ms Violet.” Cephas replied to her. “Why would I try to get you back when you have divorced me and you are with your boyfriend.”“The whole world knows how obsessed you are with me. I am just telling you that your tactics can’t work out.”“I am not throwing any tactics out, Ms. Violet. I have tried my best to beg you and get you to not divorce me but you called it quits.” He stopped to place his legs on the same stair.“You can only force a horse to the river, you can’t force it to drink water. I can’t force to stay with me.”“Then why did you come with a woman to cause a scene here?”“I didn't think that the presence of the beautiful woman here would make you so uncomfortable, Ms Aurora.” As soon Cephas talked, Sarsh held onto her brother in a very open manner so as to trigger Violet.It worked.“Of course people like you are very shameless. Begging me not to divorce you and showing up with some other woman at the court.”“As you should know, you are not the only one that is allowed to move on. I have my rights too.”“I suggest that you should focus on your new boyfriend so he doesn’t get jealous,” Sarah advised.“What do you know?” Violet asked Sarah angrily. “I will advise you to keep quiet because you will still pay for the vehicle you damaged.”“Babe, can they afford it?'' Kade asked Violet. “It’s the latest model.”“I don’t think so, I think they even rented the lamborghini so they can show off to us. People like them are so fake”“Should we call the police or something to arrest the poor people?”“Don’t go through that stress. Poor and wretched people like them should not bother you.”“How much will it cost to fix the car?” Sarah asked.“We know your mission here is to make me feel jealous in which you have failed. FYI, we don’t need your dirty money to fix our car.” Violet boasted.“I see.” Sarah trailed off.“No one is trying to make you feel jealous. Lord knows why you are so triggered.”“What do you mean she is triggered?” Kade said in her defense. “Poor men like you don’t get to judge women.”“Excuse me?”“Yes, you heard me right. I have watched you give her less treatments than she deserves, now you are saying she’s triggered. She has every right to be.”“Honey, you don’t need to talk to him, he is a big loser,” Violet said .“I can see that. It shows from the way he talks. I pity this woman that she’s with him.”“They are both scammers, honey. I am sure they just want some money from us.”“We don’t need your money!” Sarah retorted. “Who needs money from cheapskates like you?”“You are not even wearing clothes from this season and you are calling me a cheapskate. Cephas rented some old clothes for you, right?”“Ludas Vatton made custom made pants and blazers for me, you should look it up on the internet. There is no other one on the market. Do your research well.” Sarah fired at her.“Look babe, let's just go,” Kade held onto Violet’s shoulder. “He is just trying to use this opportunity to trap you.”“You are right, let’s go!” Violet replied.Chapter 4- Sleeping with the CEO“You know what? I am going to drive,” Cephas smiled at his sister. She threw the key to the Lamborghini to him.He caught it swifty got into the driver’s seat, his sister was the passenger princess for the ride.. “I thought you said you didn’t know how to drive,” Violet asked, yelling on top of her voice. She walked down the stairs in a rush while Kade followed her closely so she wouldn't fall off and hurt herself.Cephas ignored her, igniting the engine of the car. The car roared, sending waves of shock to Kade and Violet. They didn’t expect the reaction from the car.He laughed at the effect the car’s engine had on them and he zoomed off.“Ceph,” Sarah started. “Was that your wife? The one you married against dads wish?”“I’m afraid, yes,” he responded coldly as his hand tightened on the wheel of the car.“Was she worth the exile moment father gave to you?” She asked him. Sarah adored her brother and so did their father. Their lives were going on s
Chapter 5 - 5 Hundred Million Dollars “What’s wrong?” Cephas asked with concern written on his face. He had never seen her that way since he started working in her company. This situation was strange to him.Ms Williams broke down in tears and sank in her office chair, he offered her a clean handkerchief to wipe her face. He paced around her office then he sat down before he spoke. “It’s okay if you don’t want to talk, I am sorry for what happened.”Ms Williams sniffed and dabbed her face with the handkerchief. “I am sorry for acting like a child. It’s unlike me to act like that.”“You didn’t act like a child, sometimes crying helps to relieve stress.” He said to make her feel relaxed. Her eyes were red from crying but her makeup wasn’t ruined.“It must be waterproof” he thought to himself. At least her makeup wasn't all over the place, the other members of staff won’t be aware of what just happened.He didn’t like the way she was crying, he was eager to know what made her cry. She
Chapter 6 - Let’s sign a contract“What’s this?” Cephas picked the document up and gazed at it then he stared at her. He flipped through the pages while she responded to him“It’s a contract that state that if you end up paying and you are saying the truth, I will be heels over head for you,”Ms Williams folded her arms and fixed her eyes on his movement. Wondering what he would say next. If he backed out right now, she made up her mind to never speak to him again. It was fair that way because taking a prank this far would justify her cutting him off.Another part of her hoped that he really had the money on him so that she would not have to sleep with that disgusting old man.She couldn’t imagine giving her virginity to someone like him, it might even be fairer if it was something that didn’t have an appearance.Giving up on her business wasn't an option for, she had toiled day and night, working so hard to build up her company beating the odds of coming from a poor family.She did
Chapter 7 - In shockMs Williams could not speak for some moment. She was too stunned to speak, like the zeros behind the figure five hypnotized her.She didn’t expect to see that amount of money as her credit from him. It was like a dream, a fairytale.This was real life not some disney movie, she pinched her cheek to see if was really awake.She was indeed awake watching the fat sum of money sitting in her account. Her emotions were all over the place, she didn’t know if she was supposed to cry or laugh at her situation.She just managed to digest the whole situation.Cephas cleared his throat. “Ms Williams?” He called, he got no response from her. He went to her side to give her a tap. She recovered from her start for shock, adjusting her shirt, she sat on her chair to regain her composure. It was like something caught her tongue, she didn’t know how to talk. How was she supposed to react? Jump and bow to him to say thank you?But that would seem like she was doing too much. Gee
Chapter 8 - The LeechKamil is one of the senior executives at Will’s Pastry. He was the bigger cheat in the company that embezzled all the profits from the company.Ms Williams was aware of all this but she didn’t fire him because he helped her when she was building the company. It was hard overlooking his deeds but Ms Williams was kind enough to do it. She never confronted him about the funds, she only acted like she knew nothing about it.Though Kamil’s intention was to make Ms Williams ask him for help so they can get together romantically but she never gave him the chance.That is why he always looked for cunning opportunities to be close to her.Grey was a spy for Kamil, he often informed him about Ms Williams' movements. Grey and Kamil, walked into the Ms Willams office without knocking. Immediately they saw her in Cephas’ hands, they pushed him.“How dare you hold our dear Ms Williams in your hands?” Kamil snarled at him as he helped Ms Williasms up.He was jealous that C
He excused himself from the gathering to join his sister then they went to the company. A team of bodyguards in black suits and shades were waiting for them at the entrance.The company had gone to be bigger than what it used to be. Sarah moved close to him.“You are going to reclaim your position as the CEO, Father was impressed that the Worbes magazine mentioned you as the Magnate of the year for the past three years.”The bodyguards quickly surrounded him as he got down from the car. He was impressed because he didn’t get this kind of treatment from father in the past.He drove himself without a driver or bodyguards, his father had banned all those services from his reach.His hard work while he was at the company paid off and his father finally gave him what he deserved. To keep him protected, she and the bodyguards helped him pass the back of the company. After the day’s work, Sarah took him to his hotel penthouse. “We are doing temporary renovations in your house, you should
The other customers started murmuring, whispering amongst themselves as they watched as things folded out.“It’s starting to get messy.”“Who is he? Did he really steal from Lord Kade’s sister?”“Maybe he needs some money”“What’s going on here? The manager demanded from the Clerk and the gossiping seemed to quiet down. Everyone wanted to know what the manager was going to do.“This delivery boy just stole from me.” Hannah quickly accused Cephas. “I am a regular here, how can this kind of mishap befall me?”“Ma’am, I am sorry about what happened. I will look into it right away.” The manager bowed before her.Cephas cared less about the situation with Hannah, he was rather happy that they were treating their customers with utmost care.The staff didn’t recognize them, the manager was even a new staff member, Sarah had not mentioned it to him.No one there knew him as their boss.“Sir, we have been watching the whole scenario from the cctv…”‘I just knew it, he surely took the card from
On getting to the Security room, the manager spoke up again. “Miss Hannah, I am so sorry for the trouble the situation tonight has caused you. We will begin the investigation the right way. Is there anything we should know?”“No, just look for my atm card and compensate me by letting me do my spa session for free. You have delayed me past the time that I am supposed to spend here.”The manager was familiar with Hannah’s game. All she wanted was a free spa session.“What if they don’t find the card with me?” Cephas scoffed. He knew that Hannah had something up to her sleeve.She obviously wanted a free treatment.“Then I will receive every judgment the hotel melts out on me. Everyone here knows that you are the culprit.” She said with confidence when she knew she was lying.“Now that we have reached an agreement, shall we start the investigation?” Cephas asked the manager.“Sure, We will start by conducting a thorough search on you, sir,” The manager said.Then he signaled to one secur
