“The dress… the strap… it's not there anymore” Melissa's stylist stuttered as she gestured towards the strap in her hand.Melissa charged towards her stylist as she yelled, “What did you do to my dress on my day? You're supposed to be a stylist but all you've been is a destroyer. Put it back on!”“I can't. More like I don't know how to. The measurement we took for this isn't enough because you've gained weight and gotten fatter there. It's impossible for it to fit” The stylist replied with her head down and her hands jittered with the strap still in her hands.“Well, if you're useless what are you doing here? Get out and find me somebody useful” Melissa barked at the stylist as she left the room to cry in the hallway.Sarah heard the commotion coming from the room and she asked what the issue was when she was told, “There's an issue with the dress, and this only happened because we took the measurements for a tight fit and she got fatter after then”.There were whispers of different k

“Mom, how did you feel the day you married dad?” Jason asked his mother as they waited in the vestry.“Well, it felt like any other day to me because we were sure we wanted to be together. Did I have my fears? Yes! Did I feel unsure of my decision at the time? Yes. But when I walked into the church and saw your father's bright eyes and face smiling at me, I was sure he was the man I planned on spending my life with and we've done that since then till now”. Jason's mother said with a smile as she reminisced on that day.Jason rubbed his hands against each other and blew into them as he waited for Melissa. He heard footsteps coming towards the vestry when stood up to check who that was.Eric knocked on the vestry where Jason was and he opened up. “You're finally here. Where's Melissa? Is she here?” Jason asked eagerly.“Don't worry about all that. Yes, Melissa is here. She wouldn't leave you hanging on your wedding day. Try to be less tense, okay?” Eric tried to reassure Jason.“Did sh

After the ceremony came to an end, Melissa and Jason were met with multiple congratulations from the crowd.Whilst this was going on, Eric announced, "The after-party is at Graham's mansion. You wouldn't want to miss it. Tony Matthew is our special guest, if you know what I mean."Eric was beaming with pride as he managed to get Tiny to attend his daughter's wedding and he knew that his special announcement would only spike the interest of the other attendees.With that said, Melissa and Jason proceeded outside and they were met with multiple camera flashes blinding them.The single ladies were chanting, "Throw the bouquet! Throw the bouquet!! Throw the bouquet!!!"Melissa laughed heartily, as this was her dream wedding and she left Jason's hand and yelled, "Where are my single ladies at?"And they screamed happily"Gather around ladies, I'm about to throw my bouquet." They all struggled as they gathered around.Melissa turned away from them and threw the bouquet and it landed in Sara

"Unbelievable," Claire facepalmed herself as she scrunched up her nose."I can't believe he would come here to try to ruin my dream wedding." Melissa exclaimed, as she started walking towards the gate to make sure Ethan didn't go any further than where he was currently standing."No way!!! He actually found a way to steal the suit from the mall." Jason's eyes widened in bewilderment."Isn't that Melissa's ex-husband? What's he doing here?" Jason's mother asked, as they started moving towards the gate with Jason, to make sure he gets thrown out and doesn't have the chance to ruin the occasion.Sarah, on the other hand, felt happy to see Ethan come for the wedding, as she began to get bored by the atmosphere and she needed a mutual friend, who shared her sense of humor.The paparazzi, media, journalists, were all over the scene in a matter of seconds, waiting eagerly to witness and report the drama that would ensue.The guests were murmuring amongst themselves,"Did he really come to ru

“Ouuuu” the whole crowd echoed as Jason emptied the contents of his glass on Ethan.“Oops! I guess my hands slipped and let all that fall on you” Jason said as he dropped the glass on the table nearby and held onto Melissa's hand, as they all laughed at Ethan.Ethan stood up slowly in anger as he turned to see the crowd laughing, filming with their phones and he saw Jason and Melissa carry on with their business like nothing had happened. They greeted guests and made small talks with echoed laughter.Ethan walked up to Melissa and Jason with a stern face and calmly said, “You need to apologize”.Jason and Melissa burst into a fit of laughter as Jason turned to the guests beside him and mimicked Ethan, 'You need to apologize'.“Or what? Who do you fancy yourself to be, that you'll be so audacious to ask for an apology from me?” Jason asked with a more serious look as he walked up to Ethan.“I'll say this for the last time, apologize to me or you'll seriously regret it” Ethan said, as

“What do you mean?” Jason asked with a curious look.Ethan smirked as he walked back to his awning and said to Jason, “Don't worry, you'll find out soon enough”Jason turned to look at Melissa who signaled to him to beat the words out of Ethan.He charged towards Ethan yelling, “You scoundrel! How dare you walk away from me”.Ethan shifted and put his leg in the way as Jason ran past in rage and stumbled on to the ground.Ethan walked to where Jason laid in shame on the ground and stood over him.“You know, for someone that's about to lose everything you have a lot of energy. How about you use it some other way?” Ethan said, as he bent over to tap Jason on the cheeks and walked away with a smile.“And, if I were you I'd hold my phone close to me, as calls could be coming in now” Ethan turned back to say and laughed as he walked back to his awning to join Tony.The guests present murmured as they watched what happened. “It's almost a tradition for a fight to break out in every Graham

"Did you see the look on their faces? They were horrified" Emma said, as she placed her hands on her tummy, laughing hysterically with Ethan and Tony."Eric kissing up to you the whole time, was the height of desperation I have seen in a while." Ethan added, turning towards Tony."And your cold demeanor was the cherry on top." Emma said, catching her breath."They should be glad that we didn't buy them out of their business back there." Tony beamed, proud that his cold countenance towards the Grahams, please Ethan."Ouuuu, that would've made them go nuts". Emma chimed in.Ethan, Tony and Emma were on their way to Ethan's house.They had all bonded during the drive to the wedding party and the drive back.Emma and Ethan sat at the back of the car, whilst Tony was driving.Fatigued, Emma placed her head on Ethan's shoulder and Ethan adjusted, so she would be comfortable.In no time, Tony drove into Ethan's condo, and Emma raised her head.Her eyes were wide and she became frantic, "I th

Ethan walked up to Emma and held her shoulders as he looked into her eyes and said,”To answer your questions, no I have not found my sister and no, Jack and Sarah do not know about my wealth. As to why I'm telling you, I don't know. And finally, about my family, you can ask them when you see them”.“Are they here? Do they stay in Beryl City now?” Emma asked as she turned around with the fear of seeing them around.“Don't be scared, the Watson’s don't live here. And they repel the idea of living anywhere other than paradise valley. Ethan is the first Watson to go against living there and it's because of his unresolved issues with the Grahams” Tony concluded.“So what did you mean by 'when I see them’? Emma asked, turning to Ethan.“I meant that you'll see them when you accompany me back home” Ethan said with a broad smile.“Home as in? Paradise valley?” Emma asked with her face down in shame because she felt like she was asking too many questions.Ethan sat back on the sofa, exasperat

Kehlani stared through the window of the car as she sat at the back seat of the taxi.Her hands fidgeted in fear as she thought of the ways she would be dealt with by Henry.“We're here ma'am” the taxi driver called out as he infiltrated her subconscious.Startled she sprung out of the car and started moving away when she hit her head against the stop sign and turned around to see the driver facepalming himself.Khelani walked towards the car and picked up her purse that contained her phone and some cash and handed the amount for the ride to the driver after which he zoomed off.She took at deep breath and walked up into the apartment.“Woman! Where are you waddling into this house from?” Henry yelled out as soon Kehlani opened the door to the sight of him sitting on the couch.“I'm very sorry” Khelani went on her knees and begged as she crawled to Henry.“Why are you begging? Where have you been?” Henry insisted.“I've been at the…” Khelani Paused to think of how to tell Henry she's

“Yes, I am at the hospital,” Kehlani answered.“What the fuck does that have to do with you not being home? Get your ass over here now!” Henry yelled from the other end of the phone.“Won't you want to know what I'm doing in the hospital? Aren't you worried at all?” Surprise was stamped on Kehlani's face as she questioned Henry.There was a certain silence as she questioned Henry, but it was short lived as he picked up yelling, “Why would I care? Do you think I go around my day wondering what you're doing and probably not doing? I couldn't give two fucks about that and quite frankly, you still haven't answered the original question; why are you not at home?”.“My mom…” Kehlani was interrupted by Henry's sudden question, “Right! Your mom, is she dead?”“No! Why would you say such a thing?” Kehlani retorted.“You know what? I'm tired and this conversation is draining my good energy, get home now” Henry ordered.Khelani almost immediately rushed to tell Henry, "I'm currently in…”, but

Ethan strode down the steps defeated and worried when he saw the doctor that handled Kehlani's mother's surgery.“Doctor, how is Mrs. Michaels? Is she getting better?”“Yes, she just woke up and is talking to her daughter right now.” The doctor responded casually.Ethan almost walked away when he understood what the doctor meant and stopped him to ask, “wait, her daughter? Is she there with her right now?”“Her daughter, the lady you came with earlier, is there with her mother. Will that be all sir?” The doctor asked Ethan politely.Ethan raced up the stairs to Mrs. Michael's room and gently knocked on the door. “Come in,” Kehlani replied.Ethan heaved a sigh of relief as he opened the door, “Hello ma'am, and hello Khelani”.“You look worried sir, I hope all is well?” Khelani asked Ethan, whose brows were furrowed in frustration.“Well, all is well now. I just came from your room, and I thought you had left the hospital, but I'm glad you're here with your mom.” Ethan said, as he drag

“Please help me get up” Kehlani asked Ethan, as she winced in pain.“Slowly. Take it easy” Ethan guided, as she sat upright and he helped her on to the wheelchair by the bedside.“How do you feel? Comfortable?” Ethan questioned, as he checked the wheelchair to see if there was any issue before moving.“It's okay. I'm okay, let's go see my mom” Kehlani said with a smile, before Ethan wheeled her round the hospital and into the recovery room where her mom was kept.“Please we can't let strangers see patients” a male nurse that has just resumed duty for his afternoon shift said to Ethan.“I agree I'm a stranger but she's not. She's the daughter of the patient” Ethan said, pointing to Kehlani in the wheelchair.“Please what is the name of the patient you wish to see?” the nurse asked.“Mrs. Michael. Daniella Michael is her name” Kehlani responded with a nonchalant look.“And what is your name ma? Please may I have your file to confirm that too?” “I'm Kehlani Michael and here's my file to
CHAPTER 67
"Nice to meet you, Kehlani. You seemed to be in a haste when you tripped over the huge rock in front of the hospital, causing the fall that impacted your head. Is everything alright?" Kehlani instantly remembered that she was rushing to the hospital to plead with the doctors to accept half payment in order to proceed with her mom's surgery, as she was informed that her mom needed the surgery urgently."My mom! Where is my mom? I need to get to her right now." Kehlani moved to leave the bed frantically, but Ethan didn't let her."Your mom? What happened to your mom? I'm sorry I can't let you get off this bed. The nurse said you need rest." Kehlani tried struggling in Ethan's grasp but Ethan didn't flinch and she broke into tears."My mom needs urgent surgical attention and I only have half the money for the surgery. I need to plead with the doctors to understand my situation and help my mom, so I won't lose her." Kehlani said in-between tears."That's the problem? I need you to stop
CHAPTER 66
“Good day sir, please help me” Kehlani said, as she dropped slowly to the floor with her injured forehead bouncing off the hospital tiles.“Somebody help her! Nurses! Doctors! Help!” Ethan cried out as he saw the young lady look up to him helplessly before she passed out.A team of doctors and nurses ran out and lifted the patient onto a stretcher and admitted her to be treated, while Ethan waited to make sure she was okay.Ethan paced back and forth the waiting room as his thoughts raged free enough to make him scared for the lady.“Who could she be?“She fell so abruptly, will she need surgery?”“I hope she gets better,” Ethan whispered under his breath.“Mr. Ethan?” A nurse called out.“Yes? That would be me” Ethan replied as his body trembled with thoughts of what the news could be .“Sir, the patient you brought to our attention is stable but she's unconscious. Do you know her name and other details we could write down in her file?” The nurse asked with a smile.Ethan heaved a si

Hello, Why are you not home yet?” Henry said on the phone. He had gone back to an empty house he had rented for her but coming home to the empty house wasn't quite unusual.“I…I went to see mom. The doctor called so I had to rush over, I should have called to inform you, I'm sorry about that.” Kehlani said hurriedly knowing fully well what reaction would follow the situation.“Well, get here. Now.” Henry ended the call abruptly, then tossed his phone on the couch.He reached to lessen the pressure of his tie while striding towards the mini bar. A smile curled on his lips as he thought about the plan he's about to actualize.He got hold of a bottle of bourbon before he could think of an actual choice of drink. He chose the bottle of bourbon because it tends to help him think better.The sound of a closed door drew him out of oblivion, he checked his watch to find out that an hour had gone by.“Took you long enough.” He said blandly. His eyes moved up and down her figure, and a smile t

“How about doing something that he would never be forgiven for and no one will want to side him on?” Henry suggested.“Yes? But that's almost impossible, he won't do anything like that. He's too much of a righteous being when it comes to the things he does and doesn't” Melissa chipped in.“So what do we do about that?” Claire questioned.“Can we set him up and make him do it? By drugging him or any means necessary?” Eric added.“Who said anything about him doing anything? Henry said as he sat upright on the couch.With everyone staring at him expectantly and their eyes signaling him to continue with sharing the details of his plan, he began to explain, “What if we can find someone that will be willing to blackmail him for doing something unforgivable and we can forge proof with Photoshop. The Internet doesn't do much research with these sensitive matters, they mostly just go with the ladies' story. If we can use that to our advantage, he'd be locked up for life”.“That's a brilliant i

"Baby!!! You look like you just got hit by a truck, what happened?" Claire inquired, as Melissa and Jason walked through the door."C'mon mom, it's not that bad." Melissa said, trying to console herself with how terrible she looked and felt."Not thay bad, huh? Jason is literally limping and your mascara is all over your face like you cried. What happened at the reunion?" Melissa and Jason fell unto the couch, fatigued.Before they could respond to all the questions that Claire was throwing at them, Eric came storming down the stairs,"What the heck did you two do now? Why are the Grahams trending again, for the wrong reasons? I thought I gave a stern warning concerning that?"Jason was groaning in pain as he had sprained his ankle from the fall.Melissa begun wailing after Eric yelled at her and Jason."Mom, Dad, everything is ruined and it's all Ethan's fault.""Ethan's fault? What did he do this time?" Claire asked impatiently."Ethan.." Jason was about to explain what happened, w
