Soon it was evening, Mark walked out of the company as he boarded an Uber home. He was planning on taking his wife to a jewelry shop.It's been a long time since he and his wife ever went out. Half an hour later the Uber dropped him at his house, he alighted and went to his house."Hey, Sweetheart. You are back? How was work today? How was the resignation letter? Did he accept it?" She bombarded him with questions immediately."Hey Tigress, calm down. Ask the questions one at a time, do you want my brain to explode?" Mark laughed as he headed towards the sitting room tiredly."Well everything went well but…you know I am one of the core employees in the company so it isn't that easy for me to leave without a good reason. I'll have to meet the CEO when he comes back and he alone can permit me to leave," Mark lied to his wife and she gave him a worried look."Sweetheart, I hope that wouldn't cause some trouble. I mean what if the man gets angry at you for leaving on such short notice?"
Ma'am Elizabeth was left wondering how Mark was able to afford to buy luxury for his wife. She only knew he was now working but never had it in that the work was a serious one.She thought Mark was into doing menial jobs just to put food on their table but seeing him visit a jewelry store and try to buy something expensive left her wondering that she was disturbed about it so she sought to hire a secret agent.She sat with Philips later in the day, drinking."Mom, what are you doing about Mark and Michelle? Are you going to allow them to continue that wretched marriage?" He said with disgust in his eyes."Of Course, I don't want to allow them but I am still trying to come up with a plan that would break them apart. You know that Michelle is very stubborn and wouldn't listen to us. I have been talking to her but she would never listen to me," Ma'am Elizabeth said as she poured another glass of wine for herself."You don't have to talk to her anymore since she wouldn't listen. We have to
The next day, Ma'am Elizabeth prepared to meet with the worker from Mark's company who the secret agent had set her up with. She asked Philips to tag along but he refused, stating that he had other jobs to do. She left that morning to meet the worker in question at the bar they agreed to meet. The worker wanted it to be very discreet.On her way, Ma'am Elizabeth sat in the car very worried about Mark's new Success. She decided to make a fuss and called Michelle on the phone."Good morning Mom!" Michelle, who was surprised that her mom called that morning, said."Good morning Michelle. How are you doing? Is your husband taking good care of you at all? The last time we met at that jewelry store. You were looking so pale and uncared-for," Ma'am Elizabeth said."Don't start Mom! You know that I am healthy, you are only making that up to make it look like Mark is a bad person which he isn't. He is taking good care of me," Michelle said in reply as she shrugged."You would always try to cov
To confirm that Mr. Davis wasn't telling tales about Mark being the owner of their company, Ma'am Elizabeth decided to go see the manager and ask him herself. She was still in doubt about what Mr. Davis said and had been thinking about it too because it had left her disturbed.She knew that if it happens to be true, it would be tough for them from now on because he would have something to rely on to fight back against them."No, this cannot be," Ma'am Elizabeth said in denial as she refused to believe it. She urged the driver to add more speed so they would get to the restaurant she is meeting with Mark's manager. He had invited him to the company but she refused to go there because she knew that the manager must take her to Mark who is now the CEO for the introduction which she was avoiding.They got to the restaurant after a thirty-minute drive. The driver dropped her off at the front of the restaurant and she walked in. She headed to the table the manager had indicated he would be
Michelle decided to shop for groceries as they had run out of groceries and she didn't want to bother Mark about it.She had boarded a cab that would convey her to the grocery store she had in mind for her shopping. When the Cabman got to the grocery store, he stopped and Michelle came down. She paid and started heading towards the grocery store which she could see from afar.She got to a cafe that was some blocks before the grocery store and decided to have a cup of coffee.She walked into the expensive cafe with the thoughts of relaxing her mind.She bought a cup of coffee and paid her bills before she started heading out with the cup of hot coffee in her hand.As she opened the cafe door to Leave, something caught the attention that distracted her from looking at the direction she was heading to. She tripped and bumped into someone and spilled the hot coffee on the person's shirt. She looked up and her eyes met an angry face.The man she bumped into let go of her, and she fell on
On getting home, Mark was mad with rage. Michelle got to explain how everything happened. He asked her why she didn't call him immediately when the situation arised. She stated that she didn't want to disturb him. He decided to deal with the man for humiliating his wife.The next day, Mark and Michelle woke up with Michelle snuggling Mark tightly."Honey!" Mark called which made her look at him. She lifted her hand and used it to touch his face."You're awake." She muttered and wrapped her hands around his neck. "Don't give me such a fright anymore, you were very angry yesterday," She muttered which made him sigh. Mark knew she hadn't seen him that angry before but he couldn't help his temper yesterday. So he drew her closer by the waist and patted her back softly. "I'm sorry, I couldn't imagine anyone humiliating you okay?" Michelle nodded. "I'll make sure to protect you." Mark promised."I'll be indulging in your protection from now on, my Lord," Michelle said and pecked her
Ma'am Elizabeth sighed as she entered her room. She couldn't wrap her head around the event happening.First Mark bought a company without her knowledge, second, he won the competition. How the hell had that happened?Who the hell was planning something? Or where was something wrong?No matter how much she tried to put her finger on it, she couldn't, it was as if something was blocking her from knowing the truth.Feeling frustrated, she picked up her phone and called Mr Davis, she couldn't wait till tomorrow before meeting him again.She felt if she didn't act fast, she might end up losing everything which scared her a lot.In no time, Mr. Davis picked up the phone and after about some minutes, the two concluded to meet at a bar.Though Ma'am Elizabeth didn't say what she had to tell Davis, she promised not to disappoint him.After hanging up, she proceeded to prepare to meet Davis. Soon she was ready and got into the car.After about thirty minutes, the driver dropped her off at the
Mark looked at Michelle who was eating quietly in front of him with a smile.He was happy she accepted his proposal to come out for dinner which made him happy a lot and he couldn't stop smiling.He didn't eat much and stared at Michelle feeling happy and lucky that he got together with such a beautiful soul."Is there a flower on my face?" Michelle's voice came just as Mark was lost in his dreams."Huh..." Mark froze for a second, "No.""Then why do you keep staring at me?" Michelle grinned."You're just so beautiful that I couldn't help it.""Stop flirting, we are outside!" Michelle's face turned red as he bent her head to continue with her meal though she was feeling very happy inwardly.Mark complimented her which made her feel as if she was in the seventh heaven."I want to tell you something!" Mark said with a sigh bringing Michelle out of her thoughts."What's that?!" Michelle raised her head staring at Mark, her expression becoming serious when she noticed his slightly unnatur
