Dominic groaned, “What! How dare the people who took her! Didn't they know she was my wife? No one touches my property; where are you?” “I'm in the middle of the road; I don't know what to do. Please help me find my daughter; she came home to marry you. Yeh… yehe ey.” She faked a cry and rolled her eyes; she knew Dominic could only hear her. Dominic clenched his fist tightly on the phone, “Please take it easy. I control the whole of the North District of Aston Villa; no one dares look into my eyes. Tell me anything you can remember about them,” Dominic asked. “Nothing, please help me." She responded with her pretentious expression. “Don't worry, go home; I will come and pick you up now.”“Alright, I will be going home.”Roseline ended the call. She dimmed her eyes, and a wicked smile curled up from the corner of her mouth. ‘Amelia, you have made a fool of me; the idiot you went to meet at Cherry Garden will suffer for it. Thank God I have fooled Dominic; he won't be mad at me, bu
“Mum, don't call him low life; there is no relationship between us other than friendship, and I won't marry Dominic for anything.”She raised her hand to slap Amelia, but James grabbed her hand and hung it in the air.James tightened his grip on Roseline's hand and warned, “Don't dare lay your finger on her.”Amelia was embarrassed by the ill attitude of her mother; she had not been a good mother to her since she knew her as her mother. Could it be that Roseline adopted her children? A sweat formed on Roseline’s forehead and she retorted, “She is my child; you can't tell me what to do with her.”“I didn't say she was not your child, but she is now a grown-up; can't you just be a good mother for once? You chased her away with your attitude; now that she is back, instead of living with her peacefully, you bring your old attitude; aren't you tired?”“Your useless poor Maureen is a bad mother, not me; is she still alive or dead of diseases before you become this little successful? I call
“Bribe! Who could have done that? I'm in charge of applications; I didn't receive any applications,” Anna interjected sharply, blinking her eyes. Anna” 's body tensed, and she began to show signs of discomfort, could it be she knew about the application and she lied? “I know that there was a loop somewhere; I had an issue with the minister's son-in-law; he might be the one behind it because he is not faithful, the application might not be got here, people working in his organisation could do it also because no one knew I could meet the minister, our meeting is by miracle” James explained.“It has to be the guy; no one dares collect bribes in this organization, I'm so disturbed right now, could something like that happen where I head? I'm suspecting the lady in my department, Laura, strange things have been happening since she arrived !” Anna confirmed “I just want to inform you about it so that you won't lose guard and people won't start using our name for dubious acts. Please be
Amelia had been locked up in a bare room for many days; she was denied access to her phone and laptop. She folded herself at the edge of the room, and then she heard the sound of the door opening. She didn't look up to see who came to visit her; she knew it was her mother. “How much are you selling me to him?” Amelia asked her mother with a cold expression.“I'm not selling you; I'm protecting you. I want you to marry a good husband.” Roseline replied “What about the business deal with Dominic? How much am I worth to you?” “I'm doing that to strengthen our relationship. I will sign a deal with him after your marriage." She chuckled “How much is the business deal?” Amelia asked again.Roseline was irritated by a constant query from Amelia: Why would she be questioning her decision? She thought she was not useful to her in any way. All these years she had been in America; she had not given her a reasonable amount of money than the $20,000 she gave her every month. She snapped at h
Roseline had gotten a nice wedding dress for her daughter, and her friends who supported her evil act had arrived at her house early in the morning. “Roseline, I'm so happy you have a day like this; everyone mocking you that you have no child will be put to shame today.”“If only Amelia doesn't too,” Roseline's face is etched with concern.Her friends were surprised that she wasn't happy either, and they began to question her. “What happened? You should be happy today; you look tired.”She puffed a breath and said, “The girl has been acting weird since she came back; she has been giving me a tough time, but I won't let my guard down.”One of her friends said what she observed: “Maybe she fears that Dominic won't take care of her; we all know who Dominic is when it comes to women.”Roseline retorted, “Dominic has changed and has promised to take care of her. Amelia almost slapped him the first time they met, but he didn't do anything. He loves her, and I'm sure she would protect her.
Roseline friends thought Amelia was joking on the phone until the bodyguard shouted at them; they believed it was not a joke, so why would she order a beating for them? They hadn't done anything against her since they arrived. An older woman among them walked to Amelia, trembling, and asked, "Amelia, my child, what have we done?”“You did nothing; I'm testing how much my husband would listen to me,” Amelia smirked Another woman responded, “This approach is wrong, dear; this is not how to test a man.”Amelia's expression became dark and she snorted, “You didn't tell your friend the approach she took was wrong; I left my business, and all I have to check on her is that she is marrying off to deviant; let's see how she will escape my torture.”“We told her to let you marry James instead; you know how stubborn your mother could be; please let's go.”Roseline, who stood frozen, trying to understand the motive behind Amelia's action, grinned when she activated, “Amelia, you lost it. If yo
Amelia's features were etched with sadness; no one needed to be told that she was getting married without her wish. In order not to make Amelia voice out, the common question, “Do you take him as your husband? was not asked of them”. The pastor just pronounced them husband and wife. Dominic forcefully inserted a ring into Amelia, and everyone clapped. Amelia didn't exchange a ring with Dominic. Dominic waited for the pastor to announce kissing; when the pastor didn't, Dominic asked, “When will I kiss my bride? I can't wait to have her lips locked in mine.” He smiled looking at Amelia. Amelia shot him a dead look and thought, ‘I can't believe this is actually happen to me, I will die here if he kisses me with this stinky mouth,”The pastor smiled and said, “Sorry for my manners. You may kiss your …”Before he could finish speaking, James walked in and interrupted, “Who is he kissing?” “I believe his bride is on her way coming, not my beautiful Amelia,” His voice vibrated throug
It's been a week since James rescued Amelia from Dominic, and Amelia had been living with James to complete her days in order to return to America. She booked a long day in order to stay with her mother, not knowing her mother had a sinister plan of marrying her off to a tout. James, Maureen and Amelia were all eating in the big dining room, the dining room was an extension of the living room with a chandelier above the ceiling. Maid were running up and down to attend to their needs ”Are you enjoying your meal Amelia,”“Yeah, thank you,”“Do you have important things to do apart from office work today?”“Yes, why did you ask? “I want to do my hair and I'm scared of going out,”“I will order home service for you,”“Please don't, I don't like meeting people,”Amelia was still scared to meet people, he didn't want them to blow the whistle that she was with James. “I will style it for you,” Maureen chimed in “Thank you ma,”James was meeting the private investigator himself; he
