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
If she tells a lie then he would know so the only option she has is to tell a bit of truth. Mere looking at him she could tell that he was running out of patience with her being silent.“He is not my friends but was my Ex”“Stop the car” Oliver ordered and the chauffeur immediately stopped the car in the middle of nowhere, when the car stopped every other car escorting theirs also stopped.Max got down from the car and went into one of the cars with bodyguards in it.Looking at where they had stopped Nuella could not understand why they stopped in the middle of nowhere “Why are we stopping”Oliver gave her a cold look “If by Ex you mean he was once your boyfriend?”“Yes”“How come you both dated when this is his first time to be in country A?“Because I had ones travelled out of the country!The next thing she knew was her hand being gripped tightly.“You went to country B”“Yes I did” she tried to struggle her hand away from his hold but it was too tight “Let go off me” she demanded”
5 Years LaterNuella was still in bed sleeping when she felt someone get into the bed and rolled towards her. The person kissed her on the cheek with his tiny lips and played with her hair with his tiny hands.Nuella smiled because she already knew who it was. She opened her eyes and was greeted with his cute little face.“Wakey Wakey mummy” he said with his tiny voice Nuella wrapped her hand around him and gave him kisses all over his face “My cute little prince”Logan giggled as his mummy tickled him“You came to wake mummy?”Logan nodded “Daddy asked me to come wake you, he said that the others will soon arrive” he said with his tiny voice that was like music to Nuella’s ears.Nuell laughed inwardly, not Oliver sending his son to come wake her after he had kept her awake all night.Just a year after their official wedding, Logan came as a blessing to them. She did not think she was going to get pregnant again but the heavens blessed her and Oliver with this cuteness in front of he
One thing she was glad about is that Cassandra’s blood wasn’t in her hands, even though that was what she had wanted from the beginning.Nuella returned from her thoughts and smiled at herself again in the mirror.“What were you thinking about, you spaced out for a long time?” Jena asked“Everything I have been through to get to this moment” she saidJena smiled “I can imagine, I’m glad you overcame everything and made it to this precious day of yours”Nuella nodded with a smileAlicia came into the large closet where the two friends were laughing happily “Wow mummy you look so beautiful!!” Alicia, who was already dressed, walked round her mother to have a good look at her.Nuella was in awe when she saw her beautiful her princess was in that dress of hers, she had this little white princess ball gown on her.“And you look even more beautiful princess?” “Thank you mummy but you are more beautiful, I spoke to daddy a few minutes ago and he said I should be a good daughter and come ass
4 Months LaterNuella smiled and giggled in her sleep, she was having the most beautiful dream she has ever had in her life. After having a lot of life challenges, for the first time after years she could have such a beautiful sleep while having such a dream. She had slept with so much excitement and joy in her heart that it felt like her heart was going to boost as a result of so much excitement.She was busy enjoying living in her dreams while rolling like a child in the bed when her beautiful sleep was suddenly interrupted.“Wakey Wakey, it's time to get up Nuella. Although I can see that you are living in dreamland in your sleep but you have to get up now because today is your big day” Jena said and could not help but laugh when she saw Nuella frown in her sleep.Nuella slowly opened her eyes and rolled her eyes at Jena “Can't you just let me be”“I wish I can but if you don't get up now, you will be late for your wedding”Nuella smiled when she remembered that it was her wedding
Oliver laid on one side of the bed while staring at the beauty in front of him. She was sleeping so peacefully and looked so beautiful that he could not get his eyes off her. I loved this woman so much with every being in him, he never thought he could love someone this much, he never thought he would one day love Nuella this much.He remembered the first time he met her, she had worked into his study room quietly and the only way he noticed someone’s presence was when he perceived her scent. He was busy going through some documents and did not even give her a glance even after noticing her presence.He had waited for her to say something, but he was only greeted by her with silence. That made him furrow his brow because others who came in before her all did one or two stupid things just to get his attention and make him look at them.He had asked himself “Didn’t she come here voluntarily to be his wife, then why was she acting so hard to get?” His own question made him pissed because
Soon they got to the airport and after checking in, they boarded the private jet. “Mommy, daddy” Alicia rushed to hug her parents when she saw them.Nuella picked her up even if she was starting to get heavy. She gave her a kiss on the cheek and on the forehead. “What is you and daddy hidden from me?” She asked her daughter but the 5 years old Alicia laughed.“So you both are keeping secrets now” Nuella said jokingly“It’s a surprise for you mummy, you are going to love it, trust me”“It’s our little secret, father and daughter secret” Oliver said.Nuella rolled her eyes but was still happy, seeing how excited her daughter was made her know that it will certainly be something she will love and would not expect.Soon they settle down in private jet and jetted to the location that Nuella is not aware of yet.About 30 minutes into the flight, Nuella laid in Oliver's body and slept off.Oliver stared at his beautiful wife who was sleeping and then at his daughter. This made him smile. T
15 Days LaterIn the past 15 days a lot has happenedFirst, Jenna has given birth to a beautiful baby boy Secondly, Cassandra was already in prisonThirdly, Everyone who was a victim of Cassandra has press chargesFourthly, Mariana has woken up from her coma but is still in the hospital recovering.Oliver has put some restrictions on Nuella, for the past 15 days the only place Nuella was permitted to go was the hospital to see Mariana, his mother. She was restricted from going anywhere else.She had a company to run but could only stay home to do it. She has been a full house wife for the past 15 days. One thing she enjoyed about this punishment that she was given was that she could spend a lot of time with Alicia who was so happy that her mommy was home with her.She did dancing, singing, drawing, swimming and other fun stuff with her daughter in these 15 days. She also spent time talking to Jenna on phone and video calling to see her god son since they could not return back yet.Ol
Nuella was shocked, she looked at the body that blocked hers and was shocked to see that it was Claudia, Cassandra’s mother.Cassandra screams “Nooooo!!! Nooo!!!! Mother!!!” She dropped the gun and immediately rushed towards her mother whose body was held by Nuella.She knelt down and shook her mother’s body for her to wake up “Mother place wake up!!”Oliver dragged Nuella up to allow Cassandra to hold her mother instead. Nuella who has been in a dice, stared at Oliver.“Oliver, how….?” She was surprised as to how he was here.Romulo and the others who had seen what had happened, immediately left the base that was not far from where they were and rushed there immediately.“Why would you plan all this without my knowledge?”“I’m sorry, knowing you, you would have done things more rashly” Nuella said Oliver sighed “All the anger he had for her immediately disappeared now that he was holding her in his arms.Oliver hugged her and sighed in relief, he was glad she was not hurt. After a
Seeing that David was about to be strangled to death by him, Oliver freed him. David gasped for air, and became pissed, he immediately stood with all his strength and gave Oliver a punch.Oliver, who was not expecting it, staggered back but regained his composure. Before he could retaliate, David gave him a second punch that landed him on the ground.He was shocked, he was always the one punching but this time David had retaliated which he did not expect.“I always do everything for you and tolerate your nonsense but where I draw the line is where you try to strangle me to death. “From today onwards we are not friends, I do not see any reason why I should abandon my own business to always be with you and help you.David was panting in anger “As much as I want to help Nuella in this situation I will be leaving” David got in his car and drove off.Oliver, who already got up from the floor, stood and watched as he drove off. All his men stood a few distance away and could not do anythi
“That’s my granddaughter” Romulo was so happy like he was watching a wrestling match.Matthew and Israel were relieved that Nuella was not the one that was knocked down instead.“Now is time to move to the next stage” Romulo grinned.Back to the ladiesNuella benth down and stared at the unconscious Cassandra on the ground. This was just the beginning.She had hit Cassandra so much that she looked a little bit unrecognizable.Soon, some of her grandfather's men rushed to where she was after they had finished fighting off the men that came with Cassandra.“Ma’am are you oka……” one of the men was about to ask but stopped what he was going to say when he saw that the person on the ground was Cassandra and that the madam was fine with no single crash in her body. They sighed in relief.“What do you want us to do with her ma’am?”“Carry her and bring her along” Nuella said Nuella started walking to the next location and the men followed along while carrying Cassandra.The men Cassandra ha
