Three weeks later, Sandra Douglas is stepping out of the car, her father, Mr Robert is helping her out of the car as her bridesmaid holds her wedding gown train.The cathedral was filled up as Sandra Douglas starred into the high ceiling above her head, tears wells down her eyes slowly."So I'm really doing this…so Alex Waynee is actually gone forever."She muttered to herself as she walked towards the aisle slowly with her father holding her by the hand.She had taken her grandmother's advice to marry Edward Hinnberg after all these years.The cathedral was filled with a soft, melodic hymn, echoing through the grandeur of the sacred space.The intricate stained glass windows filtered the sunlight, casting a kaleidoscope of colors on the floor as Sandra made her way to the altar."Sandra c'mon put up a little smile please."Mr Robert said to Sandra as they walked slowly to meet the priest and Edward Hinnberg at the altar.Edward Hinnberg stood at the altar with a smile that couldn't h
Moments later, Lord Douglas is seated in the church as everyone gathered around him to hear his story. The situation was intense and palpable as Lord Douglas began his story. "All I wanted was for my beautiful granddaughter Janet to marry Alex Waynee in a bid to preserve the Wayne's lineage, but as it may seem, she immediately ditched him after my fake death." Lord Douglas said as he stared at Janet and Tyler who bowed their heads in disappointment. "Many years ago, the seven great families in whistling meadows, the Wayne's, the Lex's, the Osborne's, the Well's, the Douglas's, the Louis's and the Hinnbergs formed a business pact." "Things were going on very well until the rest of the family Lords noticed that Lord Wayne and his family were dominating the entire business space." "So they plotted their total annihilation." His voice was laced with a mixture of bewilderment and regret. "Luckily I was at the meeting but before my warning could reach my friend Lord Wayne, it was alr
Taa!Taa!!Taa!!!"Haven't I warned you never to touch anything that belongs to me or my husband?"The sound of the slaps echoed throughout the half-empty hall like a thunderclap, causing everyone to look in their direction.This was the seventh time Alex Waynee, the family maid, had been slapped today.His face burned red hot with anger as he glared viciously at Iris Douglas."What do you want to do..uh…do you want to slap me back?" Iris Douglas's voice is heard as she holds Alex Waynee by his shirt and lands him another hot Slap."Taa!"That serves him right…beat him up… that good-for-nothing bastard." The voice of Lady Karen Douglas was vehement as she ran towards the scene with Donald Douglas, her favorite grandson.Iris Douglas was pulled away from Alex Waynee by her husband. Alex Waynee stood up, his shirt all rumpled from the struggle, and he gazed around, as tears wells down his eyes.Shit!He couldn't find Sandra Douglas, his fiancée, anywhere around."I have told you several
"What do you mean you wouldn't ditch that loser Alex Waynee for Jose Louis…a more handsome, prominent young man?" Sandra Douglas is standing staring at Lady Karen Douglas in bewilderment, although she isn't that surprised as this wasn't the first time her cousin's wife, Iris Douglas had pulled off such a stunt.The other day, Sandra Douglas almost ended up beating her for insulting her fiance."Grandma, I am not surprised that you would take Iris's side on this matter as usual." She shakes her hair in disbelief."So what…do you want me to take sides with you when all you have decided is to bring disdain and shame to this family by rejecting Edward Hinnbergs?" "Do you know that you just destroyed our one opportunity of becoming more prominent… if you had married Edward Hinnberg, we would have merged both families' companies into one powerful financial conglomerate." She says as her heart heaves up and down in vexation.She was really angry that Sandra Douglas had chosen Alex Waynee o
"Lets go" Sandra Douglas pulls him out the revolving door."Who the hell was that man…and why were the both of you staring at each other with so much venom in your eyes?" Her voice was tremulous, as the both of them held hands and crossed the road to enter the Douglas global empire.The building was a magnificent one, an eight-story building with a helipad that could carry two choppers.The building was meticulously constructed to match the opulent and sophisticated taste of Lady Karen Douglas.The building's architecture and interior design were a testament to her impeccable style and preference for luxury.The windows were adorned with intricate stained glass patterns and framed in ornate gold leaf, allowing natural light to stream in, casting a warm and inviting glow throughout the grand hallways.Each window was a work of art, a fusion of form and art that perfectly complemented the overall building aesthetic."Oh! You mean the guy that had his face seared by a blade… am not sure
"Grandma! You wouldn't be serious about letting Sandra leave the administration, right? Donald Douglas's voice is laced with fear as he paces up and down Lady Karen Douglas's office.The office was a beauty in the making, the backdrop behind Lady Karen Douglas displaying the numerous business grand awards she had won, an impressive tableau that seemed to stretch out for miles."Relax, Donald… I know what I'm doing… how did you think I was able to get Janet to ditch Alex Waynee even though your grandfather had betrothed her to Alex Waynee before his mysterious death." Her voice was hoarse as she continued to sign the files on her desk without sparing Donald Douglas a glance."Grandma, as I am talking to you she is done packing her stuff and she has already left the complex…Grandma! do something…you realize Sandra Douglas plays a crucial role in this company…removing her now that we have more competitors out there in the market…wouldn't be in our favour." His voice was reeking with trep
"Shit!"Watch where you are going…you just slipped hot coffee all over my shirt." The voice of Edward Hinnberg was laced with anger, raising his eyes, his demeanor changed immediately.His fist clenched, and he gritted his teeth, his heart heaved up and down in anger.His eyes were ablaze as he set them on the one who had ruined his presentation outfit."If it ain't you bastard!... What are you doing here…did you miss your way to the market…c'mon let me see the list of things your mother-in-law sent to go get at the market…the market is that way bastard." His voice was laced with pure hatred as though every word was dripping venom, his eyes burning with a furious intensity that could ignite a wildfire of conflict at any moment."Edward…am really sor…" Those words didn't come out of his mouth completely as Edward completely emptied the remaining coffee on his head and over his black shirt."This should teach him to look properly and not walk around without his eyes, bumping into people
Who is this man that has been stalking me? What the hell does he want from me? What does he know about my mom and dad Charles and Jessica Wayne? All this and many thoughts ran through his mind as he stared intently out the window of the 7th floor of Dex Palm palace. He had a bottle of wine and a plate of lasagna on his table. It was a cold evening, the sun was just setting beyond the horizon, casting a warm amber glow that painted the rooms in the hue of orange and gold. The rich aroma of the lasagna filled the air, blending with the fruity notes of the wine. As he took a sip of the wine and a forkful of the lasagna, he couldn't help but appreciate the simple yet comforting beauty of the moment. The Dex Palm Palace was just one of the luxury hotels Eric Raymond had secured for him today. Staring intently at his grandfather's smartphone, he thought of the best way to punish that animal that calls himself Gwen Falls. Swiping through his phone he searched for Gwen's YouTube chann
