He works hard everyday to prove how hardworking he is to his rich wife and prominent in-laws. Today makes it two years of their marriage although it was filled with more sadness and less happiness but he knew everything will be fine one day.His joy increased as he got closer to their room, he started hearing some unpleasant sounds in his ears.What could be happening behind the door? Hope it's not what I'm thinking. He shook his head to wave off the thought building up inside of him, he reached out for the handle, knobbed it down and pushed it. His eyes landed on his wife (Lily) and a guy having s*x, the color of his eyes changed to red as anger overtook him. "Lily yyyyaaaahhh! " He yelled her name in rage. The two adults quickly disengaged from the act and looked at him."You scare the h*ll out of me." She said and sat properly on the b
The Unexpected Heir The Legacy
Feeling heartbroken and betrayed by his wife, Dave felt all elements were against him as the lightning struck across the skies and the rain fell down heavily, he didn't even bother to shield himself."How could she have done this to me?" He muttered to himself. "What did I do wrong?""I did everything I could to make her and her family happy but they still saw me as useless."His mind flashes back to when he and Lily were standing happily at the altar, exchanging vows and pledging their undying love in front of her family."I promise to love and cherish you, always and forever," Dave said, holding her hands with love and admiration in her eyes."I love you, Dave and I promise never to leave you."That was all a lie!Lily still left him! She didn't even think about all her promises she had made to him, she had only used him for her own benefit.He had done so many odd jobs to make sure both she and her family were satisfied and he doesn't seem like a burden to them even when Lily oppos
The Unexpected Heir Dave’s New Inheritance
"How do I believe that everything is real and not a fake?" Dave asked with a raised brow.The rain has stopped now and was replaced with a gentle breeze."Young master, please come with me into the car so you won't catch a cold and I'll answer all your questions," The old man said, opening the door of one the luxurious cars for him.Dave complied. The old man had already proven to be trustworthy and possibly won't try to harm him."Your family has a foothold in the business world and so maybe you can visit one of your companies just to see that I'm not lying to you.""What's the name of the company you speak about?""Wellington Holdings LLC."Dave gasped in surprise. "I've heard of that place and I've delivered pizza packages to few of the employees there."The old man was equally surprised. "If you have been to the Wellington Holdings before how come you haven't heard of the Wellington family?""I'm not well learned and much exposed," Dave sighed."Okay. It's fine," The old man took
The Unexpected Heir Tables Turned
Dave turned around and saw two burly men with batons walking towards him. "I gave you the privilege of leaving here on your own but it seems you want to prove stubborn," The receptionist said with a grunt."Take him away!""No, wait! I have to see the manager!" Dave struggled within their grip."You still want to see the manager?" One of the men said and struck him on the cheek. "Your kind isn't even supposed to walk into this kind of place.""Do you even know where you are?" The other asked.Dave held his cheek and stared at the man who had slapped him. "Why did you slap me? What's my offense?""Mister, leave or we'll have to push you out.""Why are you both still arguing with him?" The receptionist asked with disgust. "Push him out!"Dave withdrew his hand from his reddened cheek and said, "I'll make sure all of you are sacked from this company. My company shouldn't be working with the likes of you.""Huh?" They mouthed.Suddenly, they all bursted into laughter."You, you want to s
The Unexpected Heir His Change
"Mr Dave, I'm really sorry about what happened earlier," Abraham said as they walked into his office."Abraham, please sit," Dave said, gesturing at the chair in front of him."No sir, that seat has been waiting for you. I can't sit on it anymore since you are here," He replied.Dave seemed pleased with his humble action and he smiled slightly. "Until there's an official statement, this seat is being occupied by you so sit down after all it's just an ordinary chair."Abraham glanced from Dave to the chair and slowly proceeded to sit. Dave sat down opposite him."And before we start I'll like to make somethings clear here. I want my identity to be undisclosed and I'm sure you already know the circumstances surrounding these reasons.""Yes, " Abraham nodded. "I'm quite aware already.""Good. Now, let's proceed.""Well, here are the documents regarding the company and the other companies scattered across USA. You are required to sign it to gain ownership over them.""Who has been taking
The Unexpected Heir Table Of Confusion
Brighton's Home:Lady Gaga Brighton sat on her mahogany chair which spoke of her high status in her family. Her almost soulless eyes dilated in their sockets as she stared at her sons, Kay and Mike, Lily's father."So you're saying that Dave is a friend to master Brandon?" Lady Gaga asked, staring intensely at Mike."Yes mother. Lily found out about this yesterday and we thought it well to inform you.""Hmm, so Dave has been hiding such important information from us. We never treated him badly, we gave him a roof over his head. Ingrate!" Lady Gaga scoffed out in anger."But mother, this doesn't prove anything. Even though Dave is a friend of master Brandon, it won't bring any benefits to us," Kay, Mike's younger brother said."That's true but the fact that he was called to that company definitely means something good and we must get a share from that.""We have clothed Dave for the past three years, fed him and gave him a roof over his head, he has never paid us any penny for doing th
The Unexpected Heir Kay and Lily’s Investigation
Wellington's Holdings LLC.Kay and Lily stepped out of car unto the sleek pavement of the Wellington's Holdings parking lot. They looked up at the towering building, it's glass and steel facade glinting in the sunlight."Let's go in. And I hope you know what to say, your grandma gave us this assignment because she decided to trust you so don't even try to blow this up," Kay said."I already know why we are here. You don't have to keep on reminding me, I'm not child. You and Grandma have always looked down on us no matter the good we do," Lily sighed.Kay scoffed. "Good? Good, and you can't even control your husband. Nonsense!" He spat and walked into the company.…As they entered into the lobby, they were greeted by the receptionist."We are here to see Mr Abraham," Lily said."Do you have an appointment ma'am?""Yes.""Okay ma'am. You can go up, he's less busy now.""Thank you," Lily responded with a smile which the receptionist returned.Lily knocked softly at the door and walked i
The Unexpected Heir Lily’s Thoughts
"Are they gone?" Dave asked, staring at the busy city bustling with activities through the ceiling-to-floor transparent glass window."Yes sir, they came here with the disguise of asking about their contract to try to get information about you from me.""And what did you say?" Dave slowly turned around to face the slightly bent Abraham."I told them you were from overseas and the Dave they were looking for isn't available for the moment until next week.""So you lied," Dave said with a raised brow.Abraham was confused. He didn't know if it was a question or an accusation."I–I didn't know what else to say to drive them off."Dave smiled slightly and sat down, crossing his legs. "You don't have to be scared. You did what you thought was right. Now, it's time for me to do my own part."…The Brighton's Home."Mother, Mr Abraham won't say anything but I know he was hiding something, " Kay said with a desperate sigh."What did he say?" Lady Gaga said, leaning forward towards them."He sa

At that point, Dave entered the office and everyone turned towards him with expectant gazes.Seeing him with nothing, the clerk couldn't help but sneer. "Seems you didn't bring anything just like I had predicted," She said with a smug smile.Sophia looked at Dave with disappointment. "You couldn't get a ring? I told you to let Charlotte buy a ring for us but you refused."The other couples who were waiting in line to get married couldn't help but witness amongst themselves."What kind of a man is this? He couldn't even bring a ring for his wife!""He even had the audacity to come back empty handed.""Don't y'all see how poorly dressed he is, how can he possibly afford a ring?""And his wife is really beautiful. I pity her.""Don't pity her, she isn't blind to know how poor her husband is. If I were her, I would have left here a long time ago but she's still here."Dave looked at them and said, "I have a ring ready for my wife. It's just taking time for it to get here.""You still have

Tying The Knot
The funeral service of Xander Brett was conducted smoothly and soon all the Bretts gathered in the living room.Xander's wife, Diana had taken over the seat and became the family head in his place as that was what he wanted before he died."Grandpa said he knew that we would be bullied by uncle and grandma, why then did he make grandma the family head? All this so confusing," Charlotte muttered into her sister's ears."Shssh, Grandmother is about to make an announcement," Mia warned.Diana stared at her family with a stern face and she glanced at Brandon and looked away."Mother, preparations for your birthday are going smoothly and it will be the talk of the town," Gerald said with a big smile.Sophia was confused. Her grandfather had just been buried today and all they could think of was to celebrate a birthday? "But grandma, grandfather has just been buried. Can't you celebrate your birthday next year?"Diana shot her a sharp gaze and Sophia instantly regretted her words. "Xander

Riddles and Secrets
Sophia stared at her sister. "You're too young to understand how the world works. It's unfair to everyone, and if getting married to that man would make the family as useful then I would gladly give up myself.""You're sick!" Clementine spat out angrily and ran up the stairs. Mia walked up to her daughter. "You can still walk out of this madness.""I have made up my mind, mother. I can't change it or we both know what will happen. I can't let us go live on the streets when there is an alternative."Mia bursted into tears. "Xander just wants to destroy my daughter's life," she cried, rubbing her fingers on Sophia's delicate skin."Mom, stop crying. All this won't solve any of our problems. We have to look for a way to go through all these and still come out strong," Sophia said, wiping her tears."Unfortunately, I am not as strong as you as my dear.""You are stronger than you think mother," Sophia said, holding her shoulder in a comforting manner. Taking one glance at her father, Sop

Family’s Dynamics
Lily scoffed loudly. "Woman, this man here would never impersonate any one. Whatever you say doesn't count.""Yes!" Jayden responded, with a nod. "You're only jealous that you are not with me!""Clementine, why don't we teach these two a lesson. Call the police. "A layer of sweat appeared on Jayden's face and wiped it off, swallowing hard.Lily stared at him, nudging him on his arm. "Jayden, prove to them that they are wrong. You are the scion of the Smith's family! You wouldn't lie to me right?""Don't be stupid, woman!" Jayden yelled, pushing her away forcefully that she fell to the ground, red with embarrassment.This!Jayden fell on his knees. "I'm sorry. Please don't report me to the police or the Smiths. I met this woman in the bar and she was too beautiful to resist, knowing how materialistic she was, I decided to decieve her with this identity."Clementine clicked her tongue over her teeth. "Tsk, tsk. The clothes on your body are a fake. Sister, they are not even designers an

Beneath The Surface
Dave turned his head and was met with the Lily who had a shocked expression on her face on seeing him. He narrowed his eyes. This woman seemed to be everywhere after his divorce, he glanced at the man beside her who was holding her like they were some couple and he couldn’t help but shake his head.The man beside her exuded an air of pride. He was dressed in rather expensive wears. His eyes had dark circles beneath them with a lustful gaze as he stared at Sophia. He must be a frequent drunk and womanizer.Was this the woman he had married?Jumping into the arms of any man who was rich and would want to have her? Who knows, while he had kept late nights waiting for his wife? She had been out, warming the beds of rich men.Lisa glanced at the ladies beside Dave and she found one to be particularly beautiful. Even more beautiful than her, she looked like a very rich lady because she had the pose of a noble. Jealously crept into her bones and she glanced at Dave with disdain.“So after ou

Marriage Of Convenience
Sophia kept glancing at her wristwatch. "What's taking Clementine so long to get back here? I hope she didn't get into trouble."Standing up, she decided to go check up on her sister. Her so called fiance hasn't showed up yet and she was getting impatient already. He has kept waiting for three hours!Seeing the crowd, she raised a brow when she heard her sister's loud pitched voice."Clementine, what's going on here?""Thank goodness you are here, Sophia. This trash bumped into me without looking at where he was going. He smashed my expensive phone to the ground, he didn't even apologize."Dave was surprised. "Ma'am, I apologized to you and even asked to buy you a new phone and now you're saying I didn't apologize to you?"He was already getting fed up with her tantrums. She clearly wanted to embarrass him.Sophia looked up at Dave and couldn't help but smile. He didn't look like someone who could afford such a luxury, perhaps he was only saying this to get Clementine off his back."I

Confrontations
Brandon shook his head at Dave's behaviour. " I would advise you don't reveal your identity just yet. You know what would happen if you do."Dave nodded. "Yes I do. Abraham told me I had a brother." "Yes, you do and you will meet him soon and also get ready for a confrontation."Dave glanced at him with a raised brow. "Why would my brother confront me? We haven't seen each other for years now. There shouldn't be any reason for that."Brandon smiled slightly. "Young master, don't be too naive. I heard that your ex wife has been troubling you, maybe with this marriage it could chase her off your back.""Don't tell me that you're trying to lure me into another marriage with this.""No, no. I'm not trying to lure you in at all. It's actually for your own good. And your grandfather has made a deal with theirs, if you get married to her, an alliance between the Wellingtons and their family will make their family grow stronger.""So they are using us as prawns in their game?"

"Do you have an appointment with him?" "Yes," Lily nodded."Hold on let me inform him, you can go sit over there for the meantime," She said with the same smile pointing to a cluster of comfortable chairs at the corner.Lily sat down on one and took out her phone to play games."Ma'am, you may go now.""Thank you."Waiting for the elevator to arrive, Dave and few other of employees walked out of it. Their eyes locked.Dave merely glanced at her and started to walk away but she held him back. "What is it?" He asked coldly. Lily swallowed hard at Dave's sudden coldness towards her. "I–I need your help."Dave raised a brow, "What do you need my help for? Don't you have Eric?" "He has gone bankrupt. His family is of no use to us."
