Mary's home. The same morning. Mary woke up by Roland's side. She was troubled that she could not sleep. She woke up feeling very down. She stood up and went out to the kitchen. It was a Saturday, so it was a resting day. At the kitchen, she met her mother cooking. "Good morning mom." She greeted her mother. "Good morning." Vivian replied. Vivian then turned to her and saw that she was not okay. "Are you feeling well?" Vivian asked to be sure. "I'm not mom. I am not." She said to her mother. "I have told you. Do not worry about Peter. We I'll find another way to bring him down, to make the world and Mr. Thompson and his family see him for who he really is." She said to her daughter, trying to calm her down. Mary was not having it. She was really scared. "But I can't calm down mom. I will be seeing him in the office and I will have to call him sir." She said to her mother. "You will do no such thing. When you go to the office, call him by name. He has low self esteem and will
Joel walked to his father later in the day. His father was in the study, working. "Good afternoon dad." He told his father when he entered the study. "Good afternoon my son " his father replied him. He sat close to his father. "I haven't seen you since morning, I even thought you went out." His father said to him. "I did not dad. I had been in my room all day." He replied his father. Thompson news surprised. He knew Joel and Joel was a type that was always on the road. Especially on a Saturday. He would be out with his friends, partying by now, but he was at home, which was very different. Thompson however did not want to say it out. He decided to keep it in him because he did not want to cause any drama between them. Truth be told, he was not free with Joel the way he was with Lisa. Not that he loved Lisa more or anything like that, but that is just how it was. Since Lisa was always working with him and they spent more time together, she was closer to him and he could tease h

"Mr Peter, I'm here to pass to you the information your wife sent me." Eve said to Peter Jacobson with a smirk reaction on her face.Peter was Mary’s husband, while Eve was her personal assistant."So my wife can no longer come out of her office to meet me but you?" He questioned. He was invited to her new office for the first time, three weeks after she assumed the position of the managing director of the Williamson group, a multimillion dollar company.Peter wondered what she was about to say but he felt bad not being able to see her in person, all his hope was to see her."She's quite busy so she can't come to see you, and besides it isn't so significant to see you before she can pass her message across to you!" The PA said with so much of an irritated expression on her face."Then don't bother about passing the information to me. I'm her husband, whenever she's ready to tell me, she will come see me." He was about to rise and go when Eve stopped him"She wants a divorce!” she blur
Peter decided to go to the park to sit and think of this disappointment that had befallen him. His heart was heavy, right there he didn't know where to go. As Mary has divorced him, she's sure to send him out of the apartment her family gave her right from when she was a teen.Her mother wouldn’t even let him step foot into the house again now that he wasn’t a part of their family anymore."How am I going to survive?" He asked himself. He didn't want to show these emotions while he was with her, it would cause her to laugh at him."I'm so frustrated right now!" He grunted, dropping his hands which he was using to support his chins. Mary was richer than him, her family was well to do, so she most of the time took care of him before she attained her current status. Even before his divorce, she did see to his needs although sometimes it came with bits of insults.He would have overlooked it if she didn't ask for a divorce as he loved her so much. Seeing the way he loved and had her genui
Vivian stood there seeming defeated, she turned around to watch as Peter was leaving. She didn't want him to leave scotfree without being hurt. She saw at that point a van of SWAT which was the most ruthless sect of the police force patrolling, she raised her voice welling."Help! Help! Come back here, you have injured my daughter’s boyfriend!" She kept screaming. "Please help, officers. He abused me and my daughter, assaulted her boyfriend, now he's getting away!"She even had fake tears in her eyes, after this thought came up in her mind, she hurriedly took up a razor and slashed her wrist and punched her face so hard that it became red. This she did to lay the accusation on Peter, so the police would believe."Heyy, heyy!" The cops went after Peter. He was still walking along the pathway, almost reaching the gate of the park when he felt heavy grips from both sides. He turned immediately, he almost fainted seeing these ruthless officers in black."Come here with us!" They forced hi
"But Mary, you can't just let this poor asshole harass us this way, he wouldn't ever have respect for us and you in particular no matter who you later become!" Vivian emphasized. She kept insisting that her daughter do something. "It's not a small position, being a managing director!" With time, Mary's anger was fuming. It increased as her mother was talking more to her. "Mom, you don't need to worry, I'll handle this. Take him(Cynthia’s boyfriend) to the nearest clinic, then the physiotherapist will take care of his condition." She could always find a way to deal with him without Lisa’s knowledge. Vivian was now happy, she could now go away with her second daughter. While they went away, she picked up her phone to call Peter, her ex-husband. This call hit Peter while he was inside the car with Lisa. Lisa was such a free person, she gestured to him to pick the call with a smile. He was surprised by this gesture. He tapped on the accept button. "Hello, why are you calling me now?
"No wonder Mr. Thompson hasn’t been seen by public eyes these days. This is really bad!" Peter wondered inside of him. But he tried his best not to judge, it wasn't his fault after all.He was keen on making Mr. Thompson well, this time around not really because of money but out of his love for helping people, according to news, Mr. Thompson hasn't been able to rule his company effectively for a while, Lisa has been the acting CEO kept in his place for the meantime. Peter wanted to use this chance well. This was a great privilege."A lot of doctors, both foreign and local had been employed to treat him, but none could, some say surgery would be needed while others say it's pre-cancer symptoms. No one says anything positive."Oh. So why do you believe in me?" He asked her, curious. Why she believed in him if the expert doctors could not do it."Because your wife told me about you, giving me so many cases you've successfully treated for free!" He was a bit down, upon seeing that it was
