When Stephanie arrived home, she felt very heartbroken and confused. All this while, she never imagined that Mr and Mrs Allison were not her real parents. Although there were times she doubted them being her parents because of how wickedly they treated her, later on, she concluded that they only acted that way towards her because she got married to Jakes against their wish. Now, she could see why it seemed like Mrs Allison did not behave to her like her mother. Jakes was in his study when she arrived, but he noticed that he heard some sounds from the room like someone sobbing, so he decided to go and check. Their room and the study were not far from each other. As soon as he entered the room, he saw Stephanie seated on their bed and crying. "Hey, Stephanie what is the matter?" Jakes asked.He remembered that she told him that she was going to get the results of the DNA test from the hospital. "Why are you crying?" Jakes asked his wife as he sat close to her. "You won't believe
Michael had applied to Henders' Company and was now qualified to take up the position of a Business Development Executive. He was in his sitting room about to put on his TV when he received a call from the company; so he decided to call Kathryn to tell her about the recent development. "Hello, Kate. I've been given the job as a BDE at Henders' company," Michael announced. "Wow! I'm so happy!" Kathryn exclaimed, jumping in excitement. "So tell me; when were you asked to resume?" Kathryn asked. "It's tomorrow dear," Michael replied."Oh, wow! I'm so happy for you," Kathryn reiterated. The two of them exchanged pleasantries, and then Michael ended the call. The next day, Michael resumed as the new business development executive of Henders' Company. He walked majestically to his office after doing the necessary things required of him. "I just have a short time to work here. Very soon, I'll be leading a group of staff," Michael thought to himself. On his first day of resumption, he h
Micheal had just closed from work this fateful day and was on his way to where he had parked his car at the company's garage when he heard his name being called, so he looked towards the direction of where he heard his name."Hey, Michael. Please wait for me. I'll be with you shortly," Kathryn said. She was standing a distance away, and discussing with Rose. Michael was shocked to see Kathryn with Rose. "Do they know themselves? Michael asked himself looking at the both of them in bewilderment.Rose and Kathryn met at a business conference some months back. They sat close to each other and got talking. From there they became friends and kept well in touch since then. Rose needed to change her job some months ago since she was relocating to somewhere far away from where she was working, so Kathryn gave her the option of working at Henders' Company, which she later applied to and was accepted. When Rose saw Kathryn talk with Michael, she was surprised, so she asked Kathryn: "Do you
Mr Allison and his friend Mr Tok hung out on a Friday evening. "I noticed that you've not been looking very bright in the past few days, and it got me thinking about you. I hope everything is fine?"Mr Tok asked. Mr Tok and Mr Allison met at a business meeting he attended some months ago. "I'm fine. Maybe I'm not looking very bright because of what happened in my family recently," Mr Allison replied. "Tell me. What happened?" Mr Tok asked. The two of them had been friends for a while, so Mr Allison didn't feel reluctant in any way to discuss his family with him. "I just found out recently that Stephanie is not my real daughter. She has been with us for more than twenty years now, and I never knew that she isn't my biological daughter," Mr Allison told his friend. "What?! That's to confirm that your wife has been having some extra-marital affair with someone," Mr Tok said."Sure. I suspect that she has been doing that very diligently. She's not Stephanie's mother as well, but I wo
After the news of Stephanie's birth and Mrs Allison's infidelity, Mr Allison challenged his wife of all that he heard and determined to divorce her, so she left his house to stay with Paul. Mr Allison was heartbroken and disappointed in his wife. All the while in their marriage, he tried to be faithful to her, but she ended up being unfaithful to him, and that was what pained him more. On his frequent business trips, he saw beautiful ladies who tried to seduce him but he always resisted them because he loved his wife. If only he knew that his wife was cheating on him, he would have given in to whoever he felt the urge to give in to. When Mrs Allison parked out of the house, Mr Allison had always thought that she left for one of her family members or friend's place; he never thought that she left for Paul's house until a friend revealed it to him. This made him more disappointed in his wife. When Mrs Allison arrived at Paul's place, she was not very pleased with him. "How would y
Now, Michael was determined to kill his Dad today. He called his Mum and told her about his intention. "Mum, I'm going to do what I proposed to do to that man today. Finally, he's going to be killed," Michael told his Mum over the phone. "Are you sick? Why would you want to kill your Dad?" Mrs Allison asked. "Mum, please don't ask me any of such questions. That man has overstepped his boundaries. He even sent you out of his house, and you ask why I want to kill him. Mum, please stay out of this. I just called to let you know, thinking that you would be happy about it, but I'm surprised it's the contrary. You disappoint me with your statement," Michael said angrily. "Don't do it, Michael," Mrs Allison spoke very sternly, but Michael hung up on the phone. Not too long after he ended the call with his Mum, he heard the sound of the doorbell, so he went to open the door. It was Kathryn."Hey, Mike. How are you doing today?" Kathryn asked as she walked in. "I'm good, and you?" Michael
"What? I can't believe this. And you pretended to me as if there was nothing between you two," Taylor told Rose. "I'm sorry I'm..I'm...just telling you this. I didn't intend to hide it from you, but I didn't know how to go about saying it, since he was the one who introduced me to you," Rose told Taylor as she began to sob. "So Curtis is the product of the both of you's marriage. Isn't it?" Taylor tried to inquire. "Ye...yes," Rose responded in fear. On hearing this, Taylor went to sit on one of the sofas in the sitting room remaining silent. One part of him wanted Rose, and another part made him feel like he made a mistake in calling to reconcile with her."Am I not a fool for calling this woman back?" Taylor asked himself as he stared at Rose. He felt like hating her but he found it difficult to. He was somewhat attracted to her, because of her beauty. He always had failed relationships and it looked like all the women that had come into his life had one flaw or the other. If he
Michael had been trying to call Tiger for a while now to ask about the result of the assignment he gave to him, but Tiger never picked up his calls or responded to his messages, so he wondered what the problem could be.He remembered the recommendation he got about Tiger that he was reliable and smart. Now, he believed that the person who told him about Tiger only did that to advertise him, since Tiger had not proved what was being said about him. "I will not relent on this," Michael said to himself as he picked up his phone to call one of Mr Allison's servants. He knew that his mother was no longer with Mr Allison, if not he would have called her to ask about him. There was one of Mr Allison's servants who he used as his spy. So he decided to dial his number. Not too long, the servant picked up the call. "Hello, Master Mike," the servant said. "Hello. How are you today?" Michael asked. "Fine, thank you, Sir." "And what about your Master? Is he at home?" Michael asked. "No, he
