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
There was tension everywhere, seeing the man with a knife, holding and threatening to kill if they failed to let him escape. “If anyone comes closer, I will kill him,” he threatened. “Drop the knife,” one of the security personnel ordered, aiming his electric gun at him.The man sneered and said, “Do you think I'm joking? Let me go, and he will live; don't use your stupidity to make me end his life,” he warned, slitting his throat a little. Blood started dripping from the hostage's neck. James's eyes widened in horror, and he clenched his fist tight beside him. He looked around and noticed Lucas was not among the securities that came in; he served only James. He thought of saving the man and apprehending the criminal; he thought of fooling him by pretending to let him escape. He pretentiously looked terrified, and his eyes met with the man and he shouted, “Let's let him go!”“Sir, he is a criminal; we can still arrest him.”“No one should touch him, so you want him to commit a crim
“Stop suffering yourself, Cane,” James voice echoed. His body began to shake violently, and he fell to the floor when he heard his name. The name was secret to him, and whoever knew it might know his family. Everyone in the room noticed his fear, and the security asked him to tell who sent him home if he wanted to save his family. “Since you are willing to die, you don't need to go alone; your family will go down with you, your lovely wife and precious daughter. Unfortunately, you chose death for them.” James threatened “Please spare my family; I will tell you who sent me, please!!!” tears began to drop from his eyes. James smiled and raised his chin, “Family is the weak point of most people, imagine you killed the man you held hostage,” He dropped his jaw and said in silence, “Who sent you? The man instantly spoke, “Dominic gave me a map of this company, helped me in, and asked me to destroy the CCTV cameras, which I did. Please forgive me.”James’s eyes were pale, and he clen
Dominic stood up and went out with his bodyguard to see the body dumped at the front of his mansion. One of his boys was trying to call Cane, his phone was ringing but he didn't pick up. “Boss, Cane didn't pick up his call,”Don't worry, I will call him when get in let see what the security guard reported,”“Okay boss,” they continue walking downstairsHe identified Cane with the clothes he wore because they had spoken on a video call before he embarked on the journey. “This is Cane,”“I'm not sure boss, his face is spoilt, no one dares do Cane-like this,”“Call his number again,”Jackson took out his phone and dialled the Cane’s numberHe shouted and threw away the glass cup of wine he was holding. He instantly carried his head up, and shouted, “Call the doctor,” “Hange on Cane, Who did this?” Dominic asked to tremble “James Winslow, please leave him and take care of my family.” Cane stuttered. “Don't beg for him, I will send him; hold on; you will get treated soon.” He noti
The manager began to press his phone and read out the answer from Google. “The president's salary is 50 million dollars with an allowance." Dominic smiled and said, “Good, it is not bad monthly, ask for other ways to make more money as a president apart from salary and allowances,” The secretary pressed his phone and said, “Sir, there is no other way except by diverting the public funds into your pocket; you can divert as much as 500 million dollars in a month.”His eyes widened when he heard he could tenfolds of his salary into his pocket. “That is ten times my main salary.”“Yes, sir,”“This is a rare opportunity, I could see why many people want to become the president, salary, allowances and public funds, let's milk from the national cake of Aston Villa.’ A smile spread through his face. “Okay, sir, that is a very good decision,” the manager encouraged him“Obtain the form ASAP, the company will suffer a small blow. I will divert 1 billion dollars in the first two months of
“Stop calling only James, put Mr. President. You should have married the boss; don't you like big things?”“Circumstances led Jackson to him; he is a nice guy too and struggling to survive." Amelia squinted her eyes while explaining James noticed Amelia's pale expression and said, “I have never seen you like this; it is not a crime to fall in love, but Jackson is a subordinate of Dominic, I will advise you to stop your feelings for him; he is not from a good family, and good things won't come out of it if you need a husband, tell me, I will find you one instantly, now that I'm becoming the president, it will be easier. Let’s go out and pick a husband for you,” James Amelia's eyes welled up with tears and said, “Thank you, James. I will delete everything about him and block his contact. But we are an adult now, stop playing around, I don't need a husband,”James realised through her expression that she wasn't happy, he stopped teasing her and said, “Do you want me to take you out tom
James walked to the living room and he met Amelia and Maureen waiting for him. A smile curled from the corner of his mouth when he saw them, he was stunned. Could it be that they didn't sleep because of him? “Good morning everyone,” He greeted“Good morning Mr. President,” they chorused. He blushed when he heard that. They couldn't wait for him to get elected before calling him the president. He heaved a sigh and adjusted his tie. Maureen walked closer to him and said, “Please be careful; I wish you the best.” her expression became pale instantly. James smiled, he knew Maureen was worried because of Dominic, and he assured her of his safety, “I will be very careful, nothing bad is going happen to me, so cheer up”“Be a good boy, James,” Amelia addedJames turned his head to look at them and said, “I will, Amelia.” Amelia scoffed and said, “I don't deserve it. Thank you too.” “Thank you, Amelia; don't let me start my day with that. We will play in the evening” he said as he was
