Sean was worried when her sister said she wanted to divorce Darren and go back to James. As a man, he knew James had nothing to do with Alice any longer; if he had, he would have pursued her the moment he got money, but he didn't; he created an opportunity to humiliate her and the other members of the family. He didn't want her to lose in two ways; he thought she could still manage her life with Darren. “You asked many questions at a time, and I don't think I have the strength to answer them all, but I will try with the first one. James loves me, and you all know he will take me back.” She furrowed her brows as she replied, Sean. “James loved you, and that was then when he was a pauper, but not anymore. I'm afraid you don't lose in two ways; don't divorce Darren.” His face was etched with worry.Her heart ached for what she was hearing, and she thought of a way to excuse herself from her brother; she knew if she didn't agree to his advice, he might not let her go. “Thank you. Can I
She hoped for her care and drove out to the court. Alice's phone rang, and she saw that her friend Mandy was calling her.She picked up the call and grimaced."Sorry, friend, but James is being deceptive by keeping his identity hidden from you," Mandy growled on the other end"Please don't speak ill of him; I'm trying to reconcile with him.” Alice defended James. , “Do you mean you won't take revenge?” Alice wanted James back at all costs, so she dared to take an action that would make her lose again. “No, I want to divorce Darren and go back to my husband.” Mandy was surprised when her friend said she wanted to reconcile with James, she knew how much James had suffered at their hands, “Do you think that would be easy? Leave that st*pid James alone.”“Don't abuse my husband if you don't want me to end this call,” She threatened There was silence from Mandy she wanted to know what her friend was planning before she chimed in. “James still loves me, he bought a Tanzanian heel wor
Alice and her mother entered their cars separately; they would have gone in one car, but because of Alice's luggage, they wanted to go back from Darren House, so they went with two cars. Melissa thought she had made a mistake; she needed a man to follow them in case Darren wanted to act stupidly. And she didn't want to get out of the car because of Edward, who stood and watched them like a police dog. Alice drove out, and Melissa drove behind her. Edward smiled sinisterly as they drove out and retreated inside. After some minutes of driving, they arrived at Darren's house. The duo horned non-stop to the extent that the noise from their horns could wake up a ghost. The gatekeeper quickly opened the door for them, and they drove in with urgency. Alice and Melissa got out of their cars and rushed inside with force. Despite their horns, Darren was lying flat on the floor, sleeping. He was wasted on the floor snoring without clothes on except a boxer. The snoring from him could keep
“Mom, you have been strong since I started this; please don't show any kind of negative feelings. Getting James would be an easier thing to do. Mandy's boss Mr. Rubben is holding a banquet tomorrow for James to strengthen their business relationship.” she explained “You would have been beside him as his wife.” her mother interjected with regret“Yes, but not too late. I know James loves me. I will make sure he takes me back. Grandma wanted us together for life, but I messed up,” her voice was laced with regret. Melissa was afraid of James, she knew she had an unfinished score to settle with James, with that she knew appearing before him would ruin their meeting and Jamws would never accept her because of Melissa and she encouraged, “It is well, dear. Since you know where to get him, I think you should go. I don't have to go with you in order not to escalate the matter. James would not like to see me with what I have done to Maureen on her birthday. I should have known that he was ri
Many prominent people were coming to greet him, and Mr. Rubben did the work of introducing them to him. Alice was stiff where she was; she was feeling ashamed of himself; she could not move her legs forward to greet James; the fear engulfed her to the extent that she hid her face. How would she be able to meet James in that state? Mandy walked to her and encouraged her to use the opportunity, or else one of these big men would link up their daughters who were still single. “Alice, hope you take my word and work to him, as you can see from the status of the people here, they are rich and the ladies are beautiful. Take the chance now, or you will forget James for life,” She whispered Alice breathed heavily, took a glass of water and gulped. She maintained a calm demeanour even though her life was turbulent like the ocean. Her face was plastered with an ungneniue smile, and she started walking to meet James. After taking two steps, a beautiful, charming young lady dazzling in her gow
As Mandy's car pulled up to Martinez's mansion, she hesitated for a moment. Alice had intended to follow James home after their heart-wrenching conversation, but his rejection had left her shattered.Tears streamed silently down Alice's cheeks, her grief palpable despite her attempts to conceal it. Mandy stole glances at her friend, her heart aching with empathy. She couldn't shake the feeling of guilt for leaving Darren, knowing now the pain Alice was enduring from losing in two ways. With a heavy heart, Mandy called Melissa, her voice betraying her own. "Hello, Mandy, your friend told me how you helped her." Melissa's voice crackled with gratitude.Mandy forced a strained smile. "Don't mention it, ma."But Melissa persisted, her words laden with sincerity. "Let me, Mandy. I will make sure she does something good for you when she begins to spend Winslow's money. I'm so grateful for making me a proud mother-in-law. I'm sure Alice and James would be at Winslow Mansion now." She grinne
James prepared to leave for Asia the next day but Maureen was worried, he didn't want to go with security or a bodyguard. “Let’s Lucas follow you,” Mauren said worriedly James retorted, “I need fresh air, no one knows me in Asia”“Are you telling me no one knows James in Asia? Then why are you going there for business?” she asked squinting “I don't mean it that way, what I mean is, no one identifies me as James Winslow, I have told the media not to publish my picture on their media page, and that is the reason you have been seeing company release without my picture,” he explained “I'm scared, your face was shown on national TV during the annual event” she retorted “Don't be, no one knows I'm travelling, except people that are close to me and nobody dare reveal my whereabouts among them,” James cleared her doubt and assured her of his safety. “If that is the case, safe journey dear,” Maureen surrendered and wished him a safe trip“Thank ma, Brian will help James back to school t
James brought out a lot of money and handed it to the driver, the driver was stunned seeing the money he prostrated and told James to guide what the woman gave to her because many people were looking for it James was not surprised because he had glanced through it before he put it in his box. He knew the scroll was very important and powerful. The driver zoomed off, he prayed silently as he drove that James should give him the kind of money he gave the old woman. He glanced through the mirror and their eyes met again, the driver instantly bowed and took his eyes away from him. He wishes he could take a picture of him and be proud of it. To his understanding, James was too simple and generous; if he could ask him for a picture, he might agree to his demand. James knew that the man knew him as James Winslow, he knew for him to know him, he might be conversant with the news or probably be educated. The driver parked in front of the address given to him by James. James brought out
