After Celine lost the person she was chasing after who she thought looked like Nuella, she left her friends she came with to the mall and rushed back home to the Armstrong family residence.The Armstrong family residence was situated in one of the most expensive and tight security estates in H city. The Armstrong family is a conglomerate family that has been for 100 years so they are deeply rooted in H city in terms of power and wealth.Celine arrived back home in her luxury car and rushed into the house.“You are back so quick young Miss Celine” Maria, the head maid greeted“Where is my mother?”“She is in the garden young Miss”Celine rushed to the garden and met her mother watering the flowers, she wondered why her mother was suddenly watering the flowers herself when there are over hundreds of maids to do it.“Mother”Lady Brenda raised her head and saw her daughter walking to her “Why are you back so quickly from the mall”“There is something important we need to discuss mother”
Meanwhile, Branda and her daughter anxiously waited for updates, their hearts pounding with anticipation and worry. Time seemed to drag on as they yearned for some positive news. The minutes turned into hours, and finally, a call came through from the manager. Branda picked the call and was told by the Manager that there was no CCTV footages, that everything was wiped off making Branda to clench her cell phone hard.She cut the call and turned to face her daughter who has been restless ever since.“What did he say mother?”“He said the cctv footages was wiped off”“What does he mean by the CCTV footage being wiped off!! Aren’t they the ones in charge!!” “It’s okay, we still have another way of finding out if it’s her”“What way? Tell me, I’m listening ?” Celine sat on the couch as she waited for her mother to speak.“I will contact my men and tell them of the recent development. Leave it to me Celine, if she dears to show up or return back to this family, I will kill her before anyon
Rosa sighed, since Mr Haywood did not tell her she would have to because it would not be good that she gets to the family residence and not have an idea of what today was.“Ma’am, today is the death anniversary of late Newton Haywood, Oliver’s father”“His death anniversary?” Why did Oliver not tell her? Although he has being away for 5 days now but he would have still told her. She suddenly laughed at herself, Oliver has never told her anything before, he doesn’t regard her as his wife but that was going to change bit by bit.“Yes ma’am, Mr Haywood must have forgotten to tell you”But he remembered to tell them to take her to the family residence? She wanted to say but kept silent. Sometimes it felt like things were going well between both of them and then he reminded her of the reason she was here. “You said the driver is outside?”“Yes ma’am”Nuella walked passed her and headed outside“Ma’am you have to change your outfit first”Nuella looked at what she was wearing and sighed, s
When Nuella woke up the next morning she was met face to face with an angry man who was fully dressed in a suit staring down at her in the bed. He was giving her an intense stare and she knew why.“Good mor…….”“Save it” he cut her short “Let last night be the first and the last time you will change me, is that clear” he was pissed to have woken up and saw himself in a different clothes and cuddling her.Nuella bit her bottom lip, what was he pissed about, it wasn’t like it was her fault. “It wouldn’t have happened if you didn’t come back home drunk last night, Mr Haywood”“You have been warned” Oliver said this and was walking out when Nuella stood up from the bed and held his hand.This made Oliver stop walking and turned to look at the hand she was holding. “What is it?”“Oliver I…..” she swallowed Oliver furrowed his brow “Do not waste my time”“I just want to say that I’m here for you always, even if this marriage is for a short period of time. If you want to talk, I will give m
Did she hear him right, did he just tell her not to leave? Nuella blinked her eyes as she stared at him “What did you say?” She needed to be sure that she heard him correctly.“Have you gone to the hospital?”“No”“Go and drop that luggage cause you are not leaving this room until the doctor confirms it to me that you are pregnant” Oliver walked out leaving her standingNuella was speechless. She wanted to say something but now words came out. What does he mean until he confirms it himself? Was he trying to say that she didn’t know when she was pregnant? Or was he using that as an excuse to make her stay in the room?The following morning she got ready for work and went downstairs to have breakfast and was surprised to see Oliver sitting on the breakfast table having coffee while going through the documents in his hand and then there was Ethan standing close by with shaking feet. The whole atmosphere of the dinning was so suffocating and the moment she walked closer and saw the danger
If she doesn’t go up and change there is no way she will step out of the house until she does, and she does not want to continue the back and forth with him. Nuella sighed then stood up and went to the top floor using the elevator. Since he was taking her to the hospital, she picked a loose red gown that stopped on her kneel level with dark small heel shoes and a black bag then allowed her long blond hair to fall down. Her hair was long to her waist level and was very full and bouncy which assisted in radiating her beauty.She returned back down stairs and was told he was waiting for her in the car. The moment she got into the car, he stared at her from head to toe and was pleased with her look.They arrived at the Wrights hospital and headed to the department of Obstetrics and Gynecology then arrived at the office of Alex who she was sure knew they were coming.The only friend of Oliver she had met is him but through the investigation Matthew conducted he has another close friend who
Sometimes what you think is the case turns out not to be the case.“You mean to say that Oliver was ones in love with someone”Alex nodded “And she had given him a second reason never to be with any woman. First it was his mother and then it was her”“Her?”“The woman he loved when he was just 21 years old and was setting up his company from crash. They had met in the university and Oliver thought to give love a chance. He loved her so much that he was willing to do anything but she betrayed him and then karma happened so quick”“What do you mean by karma happening so quickly?”“She had run away and then the private jet she left with had crashed. She is the main reason why Oliver has hostility for women and decided never to get married until his father’s Will was read. **************On her way back home Nuella was lost in thought, she thought about all that Alex told her. Their conversation was cut short when Alison returned back and then proceeded to ru
The world might be big but believe it when they say that it is a very small world.“Marcos?”“Yes it’s me” Marcos smiled down at her “What are you…..?”“What I’m I doing in country A?” Marcos said cutting her shut “Yes' ' after ending their short term relationship 3 years ago she did not expect to see him here in her country. Marcos and her had met in school in country B and he had wooed her continuously until she had accepted him but ended the relationship 5 months after realizing that she could not find a place in her heart to reciprocate his feelings.Marcos smiled “of course you won’t expect me to be here in country A but I actually came to establish my family business here and had also hoped to see you” “Oh” Nuella said then suddenly felt the burning gaze of Oliver. Nuella directed her attention to him and regretted doing so because if looks could kill she would be six feet under already.Marcos moved his gaze to the direction she was looking at and was surprised to see that
