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”
What changed? Nuella thought to herself, it wasn’t like she didn’t want to walk hand in hand with him to such events but now was not the time for it, then why does he want to suddenly take her to such an event? Why did he want to reveal to the world that they are married?“I thought you want the marriage to be in secret?” Nuella said as she stared at him with wide eyes.“I do not remember saying that?” He spoke as he drank his coffeeNuella opened her mouth and closed it as she did not know the right words to use “But…..but is there a need since the marriage will end after the period stated in the contract?” Not that she wanted the marriage with him to end but if saying this will make him rethink his decision then it’s fine and good.Oliver narrowed his eyes at her with a frown on his face “Don’t question my decisions” he said with a warning then stood up and walked away. Nuella sat in silence as she thought about what to do.Later that day she arrived at her old apartment and was su

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
Cassandra headed to the location after meeting with her men. She did not know what Nuella had planned so she had to bring back up, a good number of her men were following her to that place.Unknown to her, Claudia had hidden herself in one of the vans.At the location, Nuella had already prepared herself, she had prepared a lot for Cassandra, the whole world was going to witness a part of what was going to happen today. Cassandra was not going to escape all this. About an hour later, Cassandra and her men arrived at the place.Their cars were packed in the side of the express and through the directions she was given they were supposed to enter the woods.Why will Nuella bring her to the middle of nowhere, is her plan to kill her and feed her to the wild animals?Cassandra could not tell what her plan was but she was glad she was prepared. It is either she kills Nuella or Nuella kills her, both of them can not live here alive.A call came and it was Nuella “Hello Nuella” she said onc
“H…how?” Nuella smiled “You thought I was inside?”Cassandra's eyes widened “How did you know?” she clenched her fist.“Don't worry I will tell you when you get here. It will take you few hours to get here and while you are coming please come with you add-ons or lifejackets cause I promise you that I will not miss like you did, I will make sure you die by my hands?”“And if I don't”Nuella smiled “You won't dare, I have a lot on you already Cassandra. You have to face me whether you like it or not, it is either you die or I die Cassandra”“You are right, it’s either you die or die” Cassandra said“I will send you the location, you already had a plan on how to get rid of me before the car accident which didn't work so now that it didn't work I want you to bring on your A game cause you won't imagine what I have waiting for you” Nuella hang up the call and sighed in relief.Cassandra can choose not to be here but she is smart enough. Cassandra was still shocked, it is beginning to see
Hours Earlier Cassandra stayed in a car close by waiting for the car Nuella was inside to catch in flames. She had sent her people to plant a mini device that would lead to the car crashing and going in flames. This will enable Nuella to die or have severe injuries.Right in front of her eyes the car from miles away driving at full speed caught in flames.In the early hours of the morning she had used a burner phone to call Nuella which she picked.“I think we should finally come face to face, don't you agree?” she had said to Nuella.Nuella smiled because she has been expecting this call “I agree, it's about time we settle our scores. You do understand that it is either I die or you die in this battle”“Yes I do, and I can't wait to come out victorious”This conversation took place at around 5am.When the call ended, Nuella informed Matthew and Israel about the call. Mathew and Israel left their hideout to the place where Nuella was going to meet Cassandra.Nuella informed her grand
Just as she had suspected, Oliver had come to the nightclub late hours of the night. She was in her vvip section close to his and waited patiently. Thinking he will be here alone, surprisingly Alex and David also came along after ten minutes.There was no way for her to listen to their conversation since the private rooms were sound proof. In order for her to know what they were saying she paid the server that served drinks for them to listen to their conversation.After 10 minutes of waiting the female server returned and told her all they spoke about.“So they are all still in support of Nuella? She scoffed Cassandra was here for two hours until Alex left and now it was just David who she is sure must be convincing him to go back home.She is sure Oliver will refuse and at that time David will leave. Oliver does not need protection since he had his bodyguards in every single inch of the club. True as she said David left after failing to convince him, so now came her opportunity.S
The person that called Nuella next was Elena. Elena asked her what was going on and what she plans on doing to clear her name and that if Oliver sees this he will be really angry most especially since what happened between his father and mother is yet forgotten.Nuella felt at ease that Elena did not outrightly accuse her of doing what the media said she did.“Has grandma seen it?”“No, I have warned you that no one will show her the news today. Seeing such a thing will make her distressed and will remind her of what happened between her son and Mariana. She had planned on visiting Mariana at the hospital today but I had to convince her to postpone it since reporters will be outside the hospital premises.Nuella felt at ease knowing that Grandma May hasn't seen the news yet “Thank you Mariana for making sure she doesn’t see it and also for trusting in me”“Have you spoken to Oliver yet?”“Yes and he is really angry”“Oliver should know that you won't do such a thing.
