Eloise had already spent weeks without seeing her son or talking to him. Mostly because he refused to respond to her texts and did not pick her calls. Anthony had tried his best to comfort her but he could not stand in line for her son, and that was very hurtful to him, because what could he do but watch his wife suffer for her own happiness? Anthony could not understand why Taron could not accept the fact that he had to share his mother from now on, and although, she had explained her past with her son to him, Anthony felt like Taron was a little bit too old to be having issues with that now. He was still lost in thought when Eloise’s phone rang, causing him to jerk upwards, alert. Eloise got up to pick up her phone and looked around before picking it. Anthony looked at her questioningly, and she shrugged her shoulders to let him know that she had no idea of who was calling and so she put the phone on loudspeaker. “Hello?” Eloise said, her voice weak. “You’re Taron’s mothe
Anthony suddenly got up, anger spreading all over his person. He was tired of seeing Eloise act like that, and seeing her obsess over her son’s absence in her life. “Where are you going?” Eloise asked him. “I want to have a few words with a dear friend of mine.” Anthony said. “If it’s my son, don’t worry about it, you’d only make him angrier.” Eloise sighed. “Taron is a man, and I know how to talk to fellow men, my love, don’t worry about it.” Anthony said and left without listening to what Eloise had to say. “I hope this turns out well.” Eloise groaned.- Anthony barged into Taron’s office. “There you are.” “You don’t sound very friendly, Anthony.” Taron replied, not looking up. “And you only sound friendly to me when your mother is not around.” Anthony said. “That’s because I do not dislike you as a person, I just detest the fact that you an my mother are trying to get married.” Taron said. “You know that we would get married with or without your accepta
Selena’s live went viral as a lot of people recorded it and started sharing it on their own mobile platforms too. Selena sighed as she saw the massive crowd she had gathered. All she wanted was some money, and Daniel had made her do what she had not planned to do initially. The news had gotten to Daniel’s wife, who had reported that she had not seen her husband for well over a month because he had told her that he was going to be traveling for business. Turns out he was not. “He told me that it was going to be secret and he was going to be mostly low key, I did not know that he was out here cheating while I was hoping for the best possible results from him.” The beautiful woman who was identified as Tamara Corby, started to sob. Selena put her phone down, not feeling bad in the least. She had helped the woman see that her husband was an immoral freak, and at least, that was something she felt that Tamara should be grateful for. Speaking of the devil, she got a message from her
Taron put his phone down and turned to his secretary and his mother. “Imagine playing hide and seek, but in a different, much better way.” Taron said. Eloise looked at him questioningly, while Rebecca shrugged. “How exactly?” Rebecca asked. “I’ll show you all soon, but first of all, who wants to go out for ice cream and cake?” Taron asked. “I like cake.” Rebecca nodded. “I don’t think that it would be good if I did take that.” Eloise said. “A little bit of sugar would not kill you, mom, you’re already healthy.” Taron said and brought out one of his keys from his pockets. “Oh,” Rebecca grinned, finally understanding what was going on. “I love this hide and seek game.” Eloise had no idea of what was going on but she still decided to play along. “Whatever it is, I’m in too, are we not going to call the nuisance out?” Eloise was asking about Selena. “She’s playing the game with us, mother.” Taron winked and Eloise suddenly looked excited, understanding what w
“It just seems to me that Anthony and your mom were just waiting for you to come around so that they could get married in peace, sir.” Rebecca leaned into Taron’s ear to whisper. “I’m not affected by that dig, Rebecca, and I’d have you know that that makes me feel even better about myself.” Taron said, looking satisfied. Eloise and Anthony were finally getting married and Taron sat in a corner, exchanging banter after Tarin gave his speech. “Wow, Anthony was right, major daddy issues.” Rebecca sighed, looking at the wedding as it all took place. “She looks so beautiful.” Taron grinned. “I want what they have.” Rebecca said, looking at Eloise dreamily. “You want to get married and have the first love of your life die so you can send your only son out and reunite to fall in love with one of his people and get married after facing a lot of trouble?” Taron asked. Rebecca returned a blank stare to her boss. She clearly was not having any of that. “You’re the one who
Selena had not heard from Daniel in days and she was getting tired of playing this back and forth game with him. To her, he was just a boring old man who did not understand how the game worked. She started to call him and he picked on the second ring. “Daniel!” She exclaimed. “I’ve been waiting for you, are you avoiding me?” “What? No, I just wanted to get a bit of rest first, and I did not want to be involved with your drama.” Daniel said. “Well, I’m tired of you too, so pay up the rest of the money and you’d be free to go after this.” Selena said. Daniel hesitated. “Why would I want to pay you anything at all, Selena? You’ve destroyed my home and now my wife is talking about a divorce everywhere!” “That is all on you for being unfaithful and for trying to decrease the amount I had asked you to pay.” Selena did not feel bad for anything that was happening to him. “Well, what if I refuse to pay the rest? You e already destroyed everything for me.” Daniel said. “
Taron had been restless for the last couple of nights. He had a lot running through his mind, as his head was filled with thoughts of work, his mother and Rebecca. He had so much to do, to the major task of finding the heir, to wondering if Anthony and his family were treating his mother right, and also right down to sweet, beautiful Rebecca. Taron had kissed Rebecca multiple times, but he was determined to stop. He was not interesting in being the kind of guy that did nothing but string girls along while they were still trying to find out what they truly felt for each other. What he felt for her, in actuality. Taron did not know about Rebecca as she had not confessed any feelings or talked about anything of the sort with him. They just went with the flow. Sure, she was beautiful, that much was undeniable, and her fashion sense made her seem more ethereal than ever. “But why?” He had to put an end to it somehow, maybe talk to her and have her try to figure out what it was she
Taron stared at the text Rebecca had sent to him in disbelief. Not that he was surprised, he was actually expecting something like this to happen. It was Selena and her friend for crying out loud. Something chaotic would have happened, definitely. Taron had given Rebecca more off days but she decided to spend them at work, helping out. Train was not complaining about it at all, anyway. But then Taron got a call from Selena around nine in the morning, and he could not hear what she had said so he cut the call in annoyance, wondering if she was being dense on purpose or she really could not take a hint. About fifteen to thirty minutes later, Selena called Taron again and he picked the call with annoyance. “Selena!” Taron yelled. “I have told you countless times to stop calling me and you keep on doing the same thing over and over again!” “I’m sorry sir, but you were one of her emergency numbers, and we also noticed that you were the last person that she called.” A male voic
