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 suspicious of her, I had no evidence, so I will just go along with it.
"Is that for me?" I asked, my earlier hurt of thinking about that I saw in her restroom gone for a while.
"Yes, my love." She smiled as she walked up to me while swaying her hips.
She sat down and set the tray down on the nightstand and gave me the glass of juice.
"I don't feel like drinking anything." I replied.
"But baby." She pouted ,as she pushed the glass cup of juice in my face.
I was taken aback by her reaction and pout.
She looked cute, so I decided to just drink it.
"Are you upset with me, don't you believe me?" She kissed him.
I was yearning for her attention, so I just decided to go along with her, hoping I could have some fun.
I gulped down the orange juice and set it down on the nightstand, as Riley made herself comfortable in between my laps , as we cuddled and she was going through my phone wondering what I had been up to.
I was playing with her hair and taking in her nice scent as I held her in my arms, my eyes suddenly felt heavy and I yawned.
Was I that tired?
I felt sleepy, but I wanted to stay awake and spend time with her , my eyes were slowly closing as I finally succumbed to the darkness as my eyes closed.
My eyes fluttered open, as my head hurt a bit.
I tried turning around to get my phone and check the time, but something was holding down my hand and stopping me from moving.
My eyes opened fully and it widened when I saw a maid lying beside me,cuddled up next to me.
Not just any maid, but that one always commenting on my body.
My face crawled up in disgust,how did she get here?
What is she doing here?
This wasn't how I remembered falling asleep, Riley was in bed with me and why was I half dressed?
I pushed the maid off me and before I could say anything to the sleeping maid, my wife barged into the room and yelled.
"Alex what are you doing! How could you!" She yelled so loudly that I was sure everyone in this mansion heard her.
I gasped in shock,as I knew this was a bad position to be in.
"Riley, wait I can explain this is not what it seems."I said ,as I tried to calm her down, as the maid beside me stirred up in her sleep and woke up.
"How do you cheat on me at my own celebratory party? Do you hate me so much that you can't even respect me?" She asked in a yell.
I could not even understand what she was saying.
Celebratory party?
What celebratory party?
I didn't know there was a party hosted.
"I just saw her here when I woke up, this isn't what it seems like." I told her immediately, however I could see tears forming in her eyes.
"Liar, bloody liar, how dare you try to deceive me!" She yelled as she threw her phone at me and it fell on the bed.
I knew that there was no need talking to Riley, because she wouldn't believe me.
I turned angrily to the maid.
"Why are you keeping quiet, saying something, how did you get into my room?" I asked her in frustration and she just flinched.
No matter how I felt about Riley ignoring me, there was no way I would bring another woman into their matrimonial room.
Let alone sleep with her in their bed.
That was something I would never stoop so low to do and I was very sure that my wife was in this bed with me , when I closed my eyes.
So what happened?
"Ma'am ,I am really sorry ,but we love each other, we have been dating for six months now." The maid announced leaving me dumbfounded and staring at her in disbelief.
"That's a lie, how dare you lie in this type of situation, say the truth or I will slap some sense into you ." I defended myself ,as I shook my head and glared daggers at the maid who just whimpered.
"How dare you lie about me?" I asked angrily, as I was ready to smack her across the face, but she moved away from me in fear, getting off the bed. That was when I saw she was only wearing a short ,sleeveless nightdress above her knees and with her chest wide open and her breast was on full display and she didn't even try to cover up.
The nightdress must have slipped off her shoulders.
Oh goodness, this looked bad.
Mrs Harry and the body guards heard Riley scream, so they ran to her direction to see what was going on and they met me and the maid in the room.
It was then that the maid pulled her dress up , covering a bit of her chest.
"Mommy, he is cheating on me!" Riley cried out ,as she ran to her mother for comfort.
"Riley, I told you this is not what happened, she's accusing me, I never touched this woman." I said in anger ,as I jumped out of the bed and tried approaching my wife.
"Stay where you are or you regret taking a step closer to me!" Mrs Harry warned me.
I stopped in my tracks.
"I don't know what is happening here, the last thing I remember is us cuddling together, I just woke...." I tried to speak , but my words were cut off.
"Shut up, even when the truth is before our eyes, you dare lie to us! Who gave you the right to speak after doing something this shameful, only a shameless man will refuse to take responsibility for his actions!" She shouted angrily, as she shook her head in disappointment.
"I said it ,that you are a scum and didn't know how to appreciate anything good, how dare you cheat on my daughter, today that's supposed to be special in her life!" Mrs Harry yelled more at me.
"I didn't do anything, I love my wife, I would never harm her, please believe me." I said in a pleading tone.
"My love..." I tried to say.
"Shut up!" Riley yelled at me, as she wiped her tears from her eyes.
"I can not get the wife of a cheat, I can not be this degraded, never in my life!" Riley shouted as she glared daggers at me.
I was left speechless and looking for the right words to say.
Mr Harry came into the room in the and asked what was going on, it was said I cheated with the maid.
I tried talking and he told me, he would tell the guards to beat me up if I don't shut up.
"Sir please, it's better you beat me up than for me to be accused of something I didn't commit, I never cheated on her." I pleaded , ignoring all warnings.
"Bring it here." Mr Harry said ignoring my words, one of the guards left and returned with some papers.
"Sign these papers and get out of this house, if you want to live here alive." Mr Harry said with anger in his voice.
"I won't sign it, I didn't do anything." I said as I saw the heading of the papers.
It was divorce papers.
"Sign it or your pictures with your lover, will be all over the news tomorrow and we will sue you to court for stealing our belongings." He threatened.
"I never did anything you have accused me of." I refused to sign it ,as I shook my head and took steps backwards.
"This boy is playing with me, beat him and breaks his fingers, we can always say he fell by accident." Mr Harry said as he stepped aside and the bodyguard approached me as my eyes widened.
"I didn't do anything, you have to believe me." I cried out in frustration as he took out his phone to make a call, while the bodyguards were approaching me and I was trying to run away from them.
"Hello, yes , we have the pictures, it's caption, oh ...the useless ,live-in son in law cheated on his wife with a maid." Mr Harry said as he looked straight into my eyes and I forgot where I was for a moment and the bodyguards apprehended me and I was left baffled by the whole situation.
The bodyguard grabbed my finger twisting it as the other held me and I let out an ear piercing scream as I began kicking and shouting.
"Don't break his fingers yet, we need him to sign the papers." Mr Harry said nonchalantly and he stopped.
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
I sat on my desk in front of my laptop typing. Finally what I wanted has happened. However a momentary victory isn't something that I wanted ,so I decided to add more fire to the already burning flames. I made different accounts and began posting comments saying that I quit working with Harry's corporation (my ex in law's company), because they were thieves and they always steal ideas from the rival company and make it their own. After making a comment like this in more than ten places discussing the issue with different names , people took the bait, the fired employees of Harry's corporation began commenting about the poor working environment and how people need to be paid more in their company and they also confirmed what I said. People began calling out to my ex in-law's company and were dragging them online for being thieves who steal from others. It made me smile ,as I took a sip from the coffee cup beside my laptop and continued typing more comments and replying to comments
I quickly got dressed as CEO Brandon said we should meet in his company building.I rushed to meet him at his company building and I was taken to his office when I arrived."CEO Brandon, thank you for inviting me." I thanked him because he is a life saver.I thought he would reach out to Riley first to hear her silly excuses, thank goodness he didn't."Alex, right?" He asked."Yes, sure." I replied."Why did Riley do this when she knows working with Mr Simon will ruin our partnership?" He asked me and I shrugged."I don't know what goes to her head ,so I can't tell." I told him.She is too cunning and always wants to make a gain."All I can tell you is that she is very greedy and wants everything for herself,so stomping all over you won't bother her." I replied and he narrowed his eyes."There was an offer you made me before." He reminded me and I nodded in confirmation and smiled."Oh CEO Daniel, you know he is not in good relation with my ex in law's company, if you are looking for
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
