Thomas's pov:I was glad that Mr Gabriel didn't ask the security guards to manhandle and beat me up because I know he has been itching to do that for a while but I guess he just wanted me out of his life and family and wanted no conspiracy if he assaulted me when I was leaving. But I don't trust that Mr. Gabriel would let me go so easily after Natalia had pinned her pregnancy on me.Immediately I left Mr Gabriel's Mansion. The first thing I did was to call a cab to take me far away from here because if I knew Natalia she would go as far as kidnapping me to make me stay close to her. Unless Natalia found someone else like me good in reading the stock market which I highly doubt but with her manipulative ways I was sure she could do it.Making another poor man fall for her deceitful lies and clinging to her for her love and the promise of a better life.She could do anything so I won't be surprised.I wasn't with her for a better life but her love but it didn't matter. I should let t
If this was really Kate on the line then my head can't still wrap around why she just made that comment."I guess I was wrong about you." Kate said.Wrong about me?Her words were strange to my ears.Did I do something wrong to her that I didn't know about?For all I know I have been the best brother I could be to her so what's wrong."Is something wrong kate?" I was concerned at her change of tone.She sounded irritated all of a sudden."Yes something is wrong and I'm not sure you like to hear what I am about to say." Kate said."Which is what?" I asked curiously."I thought about it and I can't help you Thomas." Jate dropped the bomb.I chuckled nervously, taking this as a joke.Thought about it?I just called her when did she have time to think about it? Did she just refuse without considering all I just said?"What do you mean you can not help me?" I asked in disbelief."I mean I just can't help you, I can't afford to accommodate you." Kate explained further her tone was ser
I could hear someone calling my name softly and gently but I didn't have the energy to tune into the voice to figure out who it belonged to."Thomas, Thomas, Thomas. " I heard my name faintly again as I turned to the other side of the bed trying to block out whoever was calling my name.Who was that that won't leave me alone?"Thomas! Thomas!" I heard again and this time it was too clear and loud, my eyes fluttered open and I saw Natalia standing by the side of my bed smiling down at me."Rise and shine sweetheart I think you have slept for too long." Natalia greeted me cheerfully but a friend marred my face instantly."Natalia, what are you doing here?" I asked in confusion as I popped myself up by placing one elbow on the bed and facing her direction.I blinked twice as I rubbed my eyes because the sleep was not completely gone from my eyes so I think I was seeing things."I came to take you back home with me,I miss you alot and so does our baby. " Natalia responded as she rubbed he
The next day I got the job at the convenience shop so for two weeks I worked there just to make ends meet.My co-worker Kelvin who showed me around the convenience store said that the key to getting a satisfied customer is acting as if they were always right even though they were wrong.I don't know how well that works but I won't argue with him over it.Right now he is the boss and I am here to learn.I was taken aback by an incident that happened in the convenience shop when a customer threw the dollar he used to buy a chocolate bar at him and it fell to the floor.My co worker Kelvin picked it up, took the customer's change and placed it on the table, smiled at the customer and told him to come back again and I watched the scene with an amazing smile. The customer scoffed before taking his change and walked out the door.Guess that wasn't the type of reaction the customer was going for."Freaking idiot." I heard my coworker mutter underneath his breath as the man left the convenie
I glared at her when she called herself my wife."I think you seem to be forgetting that we are divorced." I reminded her." That wouldn't have happened if you weren't acting so silly?" She said and I sighed.I looked around the convenience shop, there was no one here but I wanted to be sure."What do you want?" I asked her."I have been looking for you for a while." She said, smiling happily at me but I knew that was more of a mocking smile."I have been sending you text messages from my first day you left till this day but you haven't replied to any of my texts so I decided to come find you myself,some things are best said face to face." Natalia replied as she dropped the purse she was holding on the counter."So you mean that you sent someone to come find out where I was?" I asked."When you refuse to see reason with me, what else could I do?" She asked."I guess you came back to your roots after leaving our house." Natalia commented as she glanced around the convenience stor
I don't think I had the strength to clean this mess up. Where was I even going to start? Even after leaving Natalia she still wants to frustrate my life. How did she even know that the CCTV camera in our store was not working? She went as far as investigating where I was working. I was tired of being pushed to the wall. I called my boss and explained what happened to him and I put a closed sign in front of our door and waited for his arrival. My boss took about an hour to come back to the store and seeing the state his store was in started yelling and asked why I didn't call the police. But when I opened the cash register and showed him the money and told him what transpired here he shut his mouth as if he understood what happened. It seemed as if he knew already that this would happen but was shouting just to put on a show. My Boss told me he got a call earlier from a lady and muttered something under his breath then told it it was alright and I suspected it was Natalia that
I cleared my throat. He was expecting my call yet he didn't say anything about that the last time we spoke with each other."I am sorry that I didn't call sooner because I was facing circumstances beyond my control." I apologized."Oh there's nothing wrong with that, I was just waiting patiently. I guess that my patient paid off." Oliver replied."How are you?" I asked because I didn't know what to say, I wanted to ask for his help but I couldn't just say that right away without asking about his well-being."Get straight to the point Thomas I hope you didn't call me to have mundane talk ?" He asked impatiently.So much for being a patient man."Oliver, I'm glad that you answered the call, I need your help." I said,going straight to the point as he requested.It just felt weird asking someone I barely know for help out of the blues. " Oh... how do you need my help?" He asked right away."I got divorced. I can't go into the details but Natalia wants to make my life unbearable so it wo
The atmosphere in the living room was tense for a split second then Oliver suddenly chuckled."Oh I got you good Thomas looks at that look on your face,I am just kidding." He waves his hands dismissively at his earlier words.As if I would buy it.Oliver isn't the type that jokes around and I would hold each word he says to me to heart." Don't worry about silly Natalia I am sure she won't be bothering you for the meantime since she's going to have her hands filled with work stuff soon and be sure to take notice of your environment so you won't be followed back here and cover blown." Oliver advised with a small smile."Thank...." "And don't thank me ." He cut me off."I will be the one thanking you if you do what I want and I have high hopes that you won't disappoint me and don't let me down Thomas a lot is riding on you." He cut me off."Don't contact me again till 6 months unless it's critical and can't be avoided. Do you understand Thomas?" He asked and I nodded."Yes I understand
