I picked up the money and stood erect, and saw my sister in law Lisa coming towards men.
I clicked my tongue in annoyance.
I knew she had just come to bother me , she would say something about what just happened.
"If I give you more money ,will you also bend down and pick it, like a lowly cleaner you are, how about I give you money to clean my shoes?" She said as she tossed more money at me and I just clenched my fists and watched her.
If not that she was a woman and I didn't want to get into trouble, I would have taught her a lesson, because I was sure she was the one taking the groceries I bought for myself and tossing it in the trash.
Wicked bitch.
"Won't you pick up the money?" She asked mockingly and I just ignored her and walked past her.
I would rather walk for a thousand miles to walk than take her money.
"Look at how you are acting like a proud man, when you don't even have money for a cab, useless man! Take the money or your stomach will feel the pain of your stupidity." She hissed.
I turned to glare at her.
She heard what I was talking about with my wife.
Nosy brat, I cursed underneath my breath.
"Why are you glaring at me like that, what are you going to do, are you going to beat me?" She asked as she approached me.
"Who wants to beat you?" I heard my mother in law's voice from upstairs, he looked at her.
Alex shrugged off her words and raised his hands in surrender.
"I was just leaving for work." I told my mother in law who eyed me suspiciously.
I just walked out of the door.
I saw that my wife's car was still in the mansion, when I walked out of the front door, she saw me through the window and looked away ,as her driver drove out of the mansion gate and left me walking to the main road to get a cab.
I got a cab after five minutes of waiting and it drove him to Harry corporation.
I was just happy that I did not get to work late and I got to the company building, went to the cleaners staff room and changed into my work outfit immediately and began my job.
I work as a cleaner in my father-in-law's company.
My wife works as the assistant CEO of the company, she assists her father in running the company.
My job was just to scrub the tiles, glass walls and wash the toilets and make sure it was spotless each day, they were five other cleans apart from me.
My colleagues who are also cleaners know that I am married to my wealthy wife and they asked me why I am a cleaner instead of having a higher position in the company and I just smile and refuse to say anything.
How can I say my wife despises me, that's why she doesn't want to help me or see me succeed in any way.
I cleaned all my assigned posts ,until it was remaining my wife's restroom.
I happily took the elevator to my wife's floor.
I knowingly left cleaning her office, as the last part of my job today, so I could see her.
I got to the door of my wife and the secretary told me to knock and go in.
Working hours were going to start in 30 minutes ,so I was not late.
I knocked and heard a cold come in and I pushed open the door and walked in to see my wife talking with someone in her office, but once she saw me , she stopped in her words and glared at me.
I was used to people stopping to talk when I was around, I knew it must be something important about work that shouldn't be known by others, so it didn't bother me.
"Why did it take you so long to come to my office to clean it?" Riley asked me and I was taken aback by her question.
It wasn't working hours already,so I thought it would be fine.
"Working hours don't start till ..." I tried to say, gaining a glare from my wife.
"Shut your dirty mouth!" She half yelled and I shut my mouth.
The man standing there smirked.
"So because working hours haven't started ,you will leave my office looking all messed up?" She asked me in annoyance and I lowered my head.
I didn't like the fact that my wife was scolding me in front of her employee, but I couldn't talk back to her since she was my boss.
I swallowed a lump that had formed in my throat.
"Sorry ma'am, it won't happen again." I apologized with my head bowed.
"Do your job and get lost!" She yelled, clicked her tongue in annoyance and continued talking to the person standing there.
I quietly made my way to the restroom door,I opened it and walked in and closed it before sighing in relief.
I wanted to talk to his wife, maybe eat breakfast with her ,since she eats in the office and not at home ,but that won't work and I was hungry.
"I should have just grabbed a doughnut on the way here." I mumbled as his stomach growled.
"I should get to work first, I will feed you later." I muttered to myself ,as I walked into the toilet first to clean it up and take out the trash.
Then I came out and wanted to clean the counter where the washbasin was in and the vanity mirror.
I was using a cloth to clean the counter, when something caught my eyes and I stopped and furrowed my brows in confusion.
"What is that?" I asked no one in particular ,as I walked closer to the foreign object resting on the counter.
I was wearing cleaning gloves ,so I picked up the foreign object and gasped.
"This can't be." I exclaimed as I shook my head, refusing to believe what I was seeing in front of me.
"There is no way." I took in a shaky breath as I looked at the foreign object I was holding carefully.
Different thoughts filled my head.Where?When?How did it happen and I didn't know?This can't be possible.My heart began drumming in my chest, I didn't know if it was out of fear of the answer I might find or if it was out of slowly building anger.I knew that I did not want to cause trouble in the company building or I would be thrown out, but I also needed an answer.Riley had to have a good explanation for this, or everyone in this company was going to hear about this, because I wasn't leaving without a fight.I dashed out of the restroom to confront my wife who was still talking to the employee.My wife and the employee turned to look at me, as I came out so suddenly."Get out!" I yelled at the employee while looking him straight in the eye."What?" The confused man asked in disbelief."I told you to get out!" I yelled more loudly at the person my wife was talking to.The employee flinched, turned to Riley, who was looking at Alex and scurried out of the office.Riley narrowed
During the weekend after tending to the garden, I walked in to see Riley was sitting on the couch in the living room, when a maid got a glass of orange juice for her and dropped it on the table.Riley was deep in thoughts, she didn't even see me walk into the mansion.Riley looked at the tray of orange juice and an evil smile slowly formed in her face."Are you alright?" I asked her and she snapped out of her thoughts and turned to me."When did you get in here?" She asked in surprise."Just a minute ago." I responded."Oh." She mumbled and looked away as she took another sip from her glass cup.I proceeded to walk upstairs when I saw my father in law coming, thirty minutes after I was in the room.Riley opened the door and walked in , she was holding a tray of orange juice resting on the tray.I just finished tending to the garden and had changed into comfortable clothes. I was scrolling through his phone while resting on the bed when Riley walked in and I smiled.Even though I was s
I knew this wasn't just something I can escape,it felt as if it was planned, because Riley wasn't crying anymore ,she was glaring at me ,so was her mother and the maid wasn't fearful ,she folded her hand and it was below her cheat, pushing her breast upwards and she has a smirk on her face.I have been framed."Will you sign it now?" He asked again and seeing the pain my hands were in I looked at Riley, my wife."Do you want to get divorced from me?" I asked her and she scowled."Yes, I don't want to be married to you anymore." She replied and I felt my heart sting a bit as my lips quivered."Fine, but don't post my pictures online." I said.I don't know what type of pictures they took, I just wanted to leave.It was evident that Riley did this deliberately."Don't make demands, I will give orders, you will follow it without questions." Mr Harry told me.The divorce paper was placed on a table with everyone looking at me.I wanted to sign it and saw Riley's signature there already."S
"Ah! Help baby!" I heard in my sleep, as a slap landed on my face jolting me upright ,as I turned to see the assailant with my hand on my cheeks.It was morning and here I am seeing a girl in just a shirt in bed with me glaring at me."Who are you and how did you get in here?" I asked the girl."How dare you touch me?" She asked in anger and I was about to speak when the door burst open and my friend ran in."Baby what happened?" He asked the girl who ran to him and embraced me."He touched me!" She cried out ,as I got off the bed."What nonsense are you talking about? I just woke up and saw you in the bed, when did I touch you?" I asked her in annoyance.What is wrong with these women, framing me of things I didn't do?"Alex, how dare you assault my girlfriend ,when I gave you a room to sleep in?" Paul, my friend, asked me angrily, as he rushed to grab my collar and I was taken aback, as I tried prying his hands off my collar but it just tightened."L..let go..." I pushed him hard ,b
The taxi stopped me in front of Daniel corporation.I paid the driver and got out and sighed.If this doesn't work I was screwed, however I wasn't bothered about that but I was damn annoyed.I can't stay quiet.Something told me to head back ,but no I took a step forward and then another one , as I walked into Daniel corporation company building.I had a cold expression on my face, as I stepped into the company building and employees of the company were pointing fingers at me.They didn't even try to hide the fact that I wasn't welcomed here."Is it that the son-in-law of Ceo Harry, what is he doing here?" I heard a lady ask her colleague as I walked past them with a clear destination in mind."It is him ,what is that useless man doing in our company, doesn't he even remember that we are rivals?" One asked."I won't be surprised if he can't even remember the way to Harry corporation." Someone joked.They burst out laughing."You didn't see the news about his divorce yesterday?" An emp
I sighed."I never say too much, everyone has secrets," I told him and he eyed me suspiciously."Check your phone for bugs by someone else, get your brother in law out of your home , if you want your company to move ahead, ask him about it or set a trap for him, that's left for you to do." I gave him a lot of suggestions."I don't want to accuse my brother-in -law...." He tried to say, but I cut him off."Mr Daniel, sentimental feelings should be put aside, when dealing in business," I reminded him.I was a fool for forgetting."You should only think about your company and the money you will lose if this continues happening, if you lose all that money even your so-called brother in law would insult you for not handling your money properly." I reminded him and he dropped his head to think.I know he did not want to confront his brother-in -law ,because it's his wife's brother and it might cause problems between him and his wife if he does.But his company.He should think about it."I
Daniel was in a panic."I can't believe that my own brother- in -law is aiming for my downfall after I have done everything in my power to make him comfortable in my home." He shook his head in disbelief.CEO Daniel's voice was laced with pain when anger and a deep frown formed on his foreheads as he shook his head."Harry , I will certainly get back at you for doing this to me!" He spat and I smirked.Yes, this was great.The more anger and hate he holds in his heart for my ex in law's, the smoother my plans would be."Mr Daniel ,can you just ask someone to show me where I would stay? I am tired." I said, snapping him out of his thoughts.He looked at me in momentarily disbelief that I was asking him something like this, when his life was practically falling apart and I just shrugged.I can't do anything about his family matters, what good would it do me to pity him, when I was already in a pitiful situation.I need to rest and calm down my aching head, before I can think of what to
I told CEO Daniel to give me the names of the bodyguards and Secretaries who work closely with him and he gave me their names.Ceo Daniel has already set the bait with a fake document the spy would think it's important. After the plan I told him, he set up cameras in his office and left the bait on his office table for the spy to steal.As expected, the secretary, who was a single secretary, fell for it. He told me that she took her phone and took pictures of the documents and then left his office quickly.This was two days ago.He has already seen who it was that was stealing his company information, but I told him not to fire her yet, because we don't know how many spies there are in his office and if he fires her , the others will become conscious of their actions and it will be harder to find them.I told him not to act hostile towards her, since she must start suspecting something as well.He agreed that the best thing to do was to just act the same way he was doing all these wh
Alex povI arranged for some lawyers to hold a press conference and then I took my father's lawyer and he went to the press conference and the lawyer told the truth about Harry corporation, and how he bribed him to say that he was the one who was in my father's will to take over my father's company, and he also told the press that he would kill his family if he did not do all this ,so he had no other reason but to accept.After the interview I also give all the information to the police that Harry forged my father's will, bribed the lawyer and did all that things that the lawyer had evidence for and it was all handed to be police and the media got wind of this and it was blowing up and they began going to Harry corporation to ask for what was happening.Mom and I were chilling at home on the couch watching the tv , as we were enjoying watching Harry struggle to explain himself to the police and media.“So you finally found a lawyer?”Mom asked.She was very happy that all this problem
Alex pov:After the private pictures problem ended my mother called me to her study to talk.“Alex, now that it has been brought to light that your ex-father-in-law was your father's bodyguard I think there's something I need to tell you as well.”She said. “What do you need to tell me?”I asked. “Your ex-father- in-law is currently ruling your father's company,”She said. “What are you talking about that I don't understand?”I asked.“Harry corporation is your father's company. I don't know what happened but I think that your ex father in law Mr Harry is illegally controlling that company because I do not think your father will ever give his company to anybody willingly or put it in a will and not give it to you.”She said.“Wait, are you saying that my ex-father-in-law's company is my father's company?” I asked in disbelief. “Yes it is.” Diana confirmed.“Why didn't you tell me this from the start?” I asked her because this was big news and she should have told me when we met. “Tha
Riley pov(Alex's ex wife):I was in my room reading a book because that was the only thing I could do right now to calm myself down from all that what's happening and I didn't not want to think too much about it.There was banging on the door and I heard a maid's voice.“Miss Riley please come downstairs, your father is looking for you.”She said. Just as if it was on cue as she said those words my father began yelling.I don't know what he was yelling about but it must not be good since I could hear his voice from upstairs when he was downstairs I got up from the bed and headed out of my room to meet him. It was a bad idea to keep him waiting when he was this angry.My mother ,my younger sister ,me and my father were downstairs and my father began the interrogation.“Who deleted those pictures on my phone on my study computer?”He asked as he was pacing up and down.“What pictures are you talking about?” my mother asked because we did not know what he's talking about.“Someone delet
Alex pov:I just did not want anything that would hurt my mother so if you want to continue selling the products he should.“So you have finally learnt your lesson and know you are not supposed to mess with me.”He chuckled.“Well I learnt that you used to work for my father. I just wonder why.”I told him. “You wonder why?”He asked me in confusion. “Why did you let your daughter treat me that way and why did your family treat me that way if you were such good friends with my father and had a close relationship with him,”I said.I cannot still understand why he would treat me so badly when he was an employee of my father and it made me wonder if my father treated him badly as well.It was as if he was taking out the anger and frustration he should take out on my father on me who was innocent.“How I behave is none of your business ,you should mind your business.”He warned me.“I'm just asking because I know nothing about my father,”I told him. I just wanted to know why he would treat
Alex pov:Life was very good for me and having such an amazing and supportive mother was just the best that anyone could wish for.I have gotten a lot of supporters after I settled the matter of Harry corporation. I was in my office signing some documents when my phone rang and I saw it was my mother and I happily answered the call.“Good afternoon Mom, what can I do for you?”I asked happily. “Can you come to my office immediately? There is something I need to talk to you about.”She said.Her voice sounded a bit stiff and I could tell that she was upset so I ended the call quickly. I rushed to meet her in her office and when I went there I could tell she was upset and not happy.“What happened Mom ,you sounded a bit worried on the phone?” I asked in concern. “The CEO of Harry Corporation sent something to me and he told me that if I threaten him again when he releases the products, he will release my private pictures online,”She said.“What are you talking about?”I asked. She did
Riley pov:What is wrong with this judge?“What is the meaning of that? How do you mean that I should pay him two million dollars the last time I came here, you told me to pay one million dollars now I told you his wife also insulted me, so why are you telling me to pay him money?” I asked in disbelief. What is going on here? Why is this judge always ruling against me?I am the woman and I was the one who got humiliated and I said nothing and she decided to rub salt in my open wound so why am I the one who is asked to compensate my ex-affair partner.“If you speak back at me again I will hold you in contempt of this court.”The judge glared at me.“But..”“That's enough you will sleep in jail if you continue." My lawyer advised me and I gasped in shock. I don't know if it is just me overthinking but I think that this judge has something against me ,because why would he always rule against me and rule in favor of the man?This is just too much. I was wondering if Alex had a hand in th
Rileys pov(Alex's ex wife):I went out to fix my phone and after fixing my phone I headed back home. I was making some calls to some of my friends asking them if there was any vacancy in their father's company or any vacancy at all and they told me they will get back to me. I was scrolling to my social media page when I got a message from someone and when I opened the message it is the girlfriend of my affair partner and she sent me pictures of the wedding of her with my ex affair partner ,I don't know if she was trying to rub salt into my wound but something ticked me off by what she did and I was angry.She got to marry my ex affair partner and I am stuck here with a stinging face because of a slap fr9m my father and no husband.“You thought you could snatch him away from me but at the end of the day I am the one who has the ring fuck you bitch.” That was the message that the ex-girlfriend sent me and it got my blood boiling as I was angrily looking at the message and the pictur
Riley's pov(Alex ex wife):Dad glared daggers at me.“Do you think you can rest peacefully in this house after what you have done?”he asked me.“I have told you I did nothing wrong to you!”I yelled at him. I was hungry and I was glaring at him because he is the one that always encourages me to do everything that is going wrong in my life.“Let me tell you from now on in this house you are not allowed to eat any food with us or even touch anything in our kitchen and none of the maids will answer to your call,that's your punishment.” He told me.I don't understand why this man was punishing me for something I did not do. Alex was the one who threatened him. Why did he come back and now come to take out his anger and frustration on me.“What you are doing this wrong, you know that I did nothing to you ,I am just at home doing nothing and waiting for you to call me back to work, if you don't want me to work for your company you tell me I will look for a job elsewhere!” I half yelled at
Riley's pov:After Alex sued me for defamation and I compensated him with one million dollars and it was from my savings.I decided to just let him be arrested because I do not want to make such a mistake that I have to compensate him again from my savings, because my father has not said that he will call me back to work and I don't want anything exhausting my savings right now.I was scrolling through my phone ,when I saw that's my father the product he was selling he called it back and said that it was faulty and I was surprised by this, because I knew there was nothing wrong with it and that was when I heard banging on my door and I went to open the door and the first thing that met me ,was a hand that slapped me across my face and I fell to the floor and my phone fell and the screen broke.“You stupid bitch! have you seen what you have done, you are the one who said you wanted to get divorced from him now he is now threatening me and he has made me look bad in front of my friends
