"Get your fat ass up and clean this mess!"Laila yelled at Mariah. who was still laying on the floor.the ceramic cup had broken into pieces and the tea spilled all over Mariah's dress."I am sorry ma'am, I'll clean it up immediately. I didn't mean to fall over, I was only trying to..." Maria continued to blab."are you still standing there and blabilng rubbish?""get materials and clean this up immediately," Laila ordered Maria.She was so disgusted by Mariah this minute. After so many weeks of contemplating, she had summoned enough courage to do this and what does she get in return?This poor maid that doesn't know her place gets to spoil everything for her."see me once you are done" Laila fumed. She stormed out of the room, her face contorted with anger.She almost fell on the staircase as she struggled to get to her room. As she entered her room, she angrily banged the door behind her."Who employed these dullards""I swear to God, I will deal with Mariah" she fumed. she angr
It's been one month and a few days since Ma Carolyn was released from the police station, under the condition that she and her kids will return 40% of the money Grandpa Alberto gave to Pa Santiago in order to raise Greg. The truth is, Even though the 40% was a fair share to ask Pa Santiago's household to pay back, yet the whole net worth of all Pa Santiago's belongings is currently not up to 40% of $100billion. their current net worth was barely above a hundred million dollars. and the highest challenge is where to get the rest of the money from. Pa Santiago being a philanderer had squandered all the money in clubbing and living an extravagant lifestyle. There had also been a rumor that he single handedly built a temple for his religion.He squandered a lot of money during his lifetime. And now the children are left to pay for their father's sins. Ma Carolyn gathered her children in the sitting room of their big mansion. The mansion was also part of the properties Pa Santiago bou
Greg was yet to get to all the families that were being defrauded by Monalisa Gavita. He didn't want his revenge on her to be just about Grandpa Alberto, but he wants to ensure that she uses all her earnings to pay every single person she had unjustly taken their inheritance. So for the meantime, he decided not to do anything about it. Coupled with the fact that Grandpa Alberto is still in his worst state. It wouldn't hurt if Laila is there to warm him up. However his anxiety was heightened that night that Mariah called to inform him that Laila poisoned Grandpa's tea. Grandpa should have been dead by now, if anything didn't see Laila. This is a big call for him to actually do something. He had to suspend everything else he had at hand to tackle Gavita's issues.He got out of the car in the middle of the compound while Leo wheeled the car to the garage. There was one of Grandpa Alberto's luxury cars parked in the compound."Who could have driven this here?" Greg thought. As Gre
"I will deal with Greg," Matt swore under his breath.He put his hands in his pocket and brought a hanky with which he wiped the beads of perspiration on his face and his neck. He has not gone home for the past two days, neither had he eaten any good food since then.Without his car or any allowances, he couldn't even book an Uber to where he was going or even order a breakfast from fast food restaurants. He was left with no choice but to rely on public transportation. Now standing under the scorching sun and waiting for a cab, he fanned himself with his hankie, he had made a very bad choice coming out under the summer sun while putting on a black hoodie.He glanced around, hoping to spot a taxi that would take him where he needed to go. The busy street was filled with honking cars and bustling pedestrians, making it difficult to hail a cab. Mat was not used to the noisiness of the hood,he had lived in an estate his entire life. And life in an estate was always calm and serene. But
"This is just the balance sheet Mrs Laila . You can't get anywhere with just this document ""I made a clear list of all the documents you needed gather, how come you are only bringing the balance sheet and the income statement ""These are not even part of the documents that I listed""Where is the shares transfer agreement. you have to get Grandpa Alberto to transfer his share to you. Without that you own absolutely nothing " Mr Thompson said to Laila who was gazing at him perplexed."I swear I searched the whole of Grandpa Alberto's room but I was not able to find these documents that you mentioned here"."I just brought the one's I saw" Laila replied."well if you are really in for this fight, you must have to do more. Search more. Ask him for those documents, it's true he has dementia, but you never can tell, he might remember where he kept them.Laila and Thompson were still engrossed in their conversation when they were interrupted by the fierce stomping of Jane's stiletto."M
There snap sounds of cameras on Laila as she tries her best to maintain her cool. There had been several news on the internet about Grandpa Alberto getting a new wife but many people didn't believe it. But seeing the commotion between Greg and Laila was now enough confirmation that Grandpa Alberto didn't just get married to anyone, but Monalisa Gavita's daughter. The infamous oppressive lawyer who's only purpose is to rob people off their father's inheritance using her mischievous plots. Laila knew that before evening time that day, there were going to be several posts on the internet calling her a gold digger."Monalisa Gavita and her daughter, carrying out their treacherous plot on the Albertos family, do you think this is the end of them?" Laila tried to imagine the headlines that would be used as a click bait by those bloggers."Mom" "I can't believe you are blaming right now for this. You were the one that told me that I should take up space in that company and work fast to
Aunt Angela sat behind the wheel of her modest Toyota Camry, her hands gripping the steering wheel tightly. She had driven for several hours to finally reach Grandpa Alberto's extravagant estate. This was the first time she was visiting Emirian, since after her marriage, she has been so ashamed of herself for the way she wronged Greg and Emirian in the past. She had totally disappeared after their marriage because the shame was too much for her to bear. But today, she wanted to visit her daughter. Mostly because of what she has been reading in the news about the unmannered woman who had been parading herself as Grandpa Alberto's new wife. Ma Angela knew very well how calm and collected Laila could be, with everything happening she might be feeling very less of herself resulting to Mrs Gavita and her child using her as a foot mat. Her mother instincts would not let her watch her own daughter be intimidated in her own husband's house. As she approached the imposing gate, she ho
Meanwhile, inside Emirian's room. She lazily dragged her feet out of the bathroom, she had just returned from work for the day and she wished she would never have to go out of the house anymore. Going out facing the world while knowing fully well that people have this idea about you that is not necessarily what you really are. It was really pulling on her mental health. She applied a moisturising mask to her flawless complexion and just as she was about to lie down on her bed, a gentle knock resounded on oor."Maria?" Emirian called out. she already knew that no one else would be knocking on her door aside from Mariah.The door creaked open, and one of the maids entered , her eyes downcast. It was as if she was avoiding an eye contact with Emirian. Philip had gone into the sitting room hoping to find Emirian there, but unfortunately she was in her room and since he wasn't allowed inside Emirian's room he had to convey the message to one of the maids. Maria curtsied, her voice
