Rayder's secretary - Candice - was standing behind him and was in utter shock as she also stared at the shattered frame in front of them. No, no. This was bad. Whoever did this...She knew how special that frame was to Rayder and how much he didn't joke with it. Why would anyone ruin it that way? There was no doubt Rayder would be filled with rage. What was she saying? He was already filled with rage.Just then, she heard footsteps and lifted her gaze to the staircase to see a strange lady scurrying down. But she stopped the moment she noticed them.After scolding the kids, Stephanie had spent enough time, crying in the kitchen. When she finally regained her strength and decided to go clear up the mess, she unfortunately met Rayder already there.She stopped walking immediately as fear filled her eyes. Oh, no. Her intentions had been to clean up the mess and leave before anyone woul

Stephanie couldn't believe her eyes as she stared at the shattered glass on the floor. What have they done?"Why did you break it?" She turned to the kids and asked, her voice cracking a bit."Well, what do you think? You should probably be looking for a way to explain yourself to our dad when he gets home" Isabelle sniggered."What? I... I don't understand. You broke the frame, not me", Stephanie was confused."We know we did. But do you really think we plan on revealing ourselves?" Isabelle scoffed."When daddy gets home and finds his favourite frame broken, he might strangle you, or perhaps, lock you up for life. So, if I were you, I'd leave this very instant and never return", Isadora stepped forward."If you chose to live, it'd be better for you. So, just go 'cause we don't want you here".Stephanie's eyes gli

TWO DAYS LATERStephanie was in her worst mood that morning as she walked to the estate. With her hands wrapped across her shoulders, she counted her steps like a person suffering from cold. For the first time since Nathan left her, she felt the impact of the divorce. She felt a slap on her face. Her son was having his sports day at school and they were all expected to come with their dads. Initially, she never wanted to tell Nathan about it. But when Zion kept crying and insisting, she had to give in and give Nathan a call that morning. But to her surprise, it was Etta who took his call. "What do you want?" Etta had asked, sounding surprised and insecured like Stephanie was trying to steal her man away. "This is Nathan's phone. Where is he?" Stephanie had responded. Etta had told her Nathan was not around and insisted Stephanie dropped whatever message she had with her. At first, Stephanie refused. But when she saw that Etta was being stubborn about it, she had to tell her inten

Stephanie didn't really have much disturbances with the kids for the rest of the evening. She did every other necessary things and made sure the kids were tucked into bed before attempting to leave."I am so happy you passed your first day here", Madame Beatrice beaned as she walked Stephanie to the door. "I don't need anyone to tell me they gave you so much troubles, but it's amazing how you sailed through it".She had just gotten home and was still dressed in her official outfit and heels."It's nothing. I told you ma'am; I have a son at home. So, I know exactly how to handle such kids" Stephanie answered ecstatically."I see".They stopped walking when they got to the door."Make sure you're safe on your way home. And be early tomorrow, alright?" Madame Beatrice reminded."Of course, ma'am. Goodnight

A startled gasp cut through from Stephanie's lips as she turned quickly to face Rayder who was still standing at the door. Perplexity was screaming all over her. How was he suddenly home? For how long had he been standing there? Did he overhear all the gibberish she said to his kids? Oh! She was definitely dead!The kids had lowered their heads to the meal they weren't interested in and seemed like they weren't even breathing. Finally, Rayder started walking towards them, his briefcase in his hand. This caused Stephanie to harbour so much fear as she thought he'd confront her about all she had said. How would she explain herself? She had been bullying his kids, there was no redemption for that."G... Good evening, s...sir", she stuttered helplessly, her gaze pinned to the ground.But surprisingly, when Rayder got close enough, he simply walked pass them and took the stairs. The kids sighed with relief, while

Later in the day, Stephanie went with the driver to get the kids from school. When they returned home, she waited for them to take a shower before serving the meal she had already prepared for lunch.Isabelle and Isadora stared at the meal before them with disgust. "This is too cold. You'll need to heat it up", Isadora rolled her eyes, tossing her plate away. "Mine too", said Isabelle. Stephanie was confused. "I don't think I understand. This food has been the warmer the whole time. How can you tell me it's...""Are you trying to say we're lying?" Isabelle cut her off. "If we say it's too cold,then it's too cold".Stephanie was so close to yanking her hair, but urgh! She knew that could get her in a lot of trouble. She took a deep breath and packed the food away. Few minutes later, she returned with the meal steaming hot and served it back to the kids. But when they took a taste, Isadora was the first to crumple her face up. "Why does this taste so salty?" She took her glass and
