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
DAYS LATER: BANQUET CASTILLO GRAND HOTELLimited edition luxury cars of different kinds drove into the grand hotel of the Castillo family. Cameras flashes as guests walk into the hotel for one of the biggest events in the country. Everyone who arrived for the Castillo banquet are from the top elite society.Different media houses and reporters could be seen outside trying to cover a story for the banquet. They asked questions and took photos of people of caliber. Top celebrity legends where also present for the event.A black limousine drove to the entrance and cameras started flashing and taking photos, the door opened and the couple and their daughter stepped out of the Limousine.The camera flashed more as they posed for a family picture. Celine smiled at the camera as they took more photos of her and her parents, she had being looking forward to this banquet for months now, it is the day she is going to meet Oliver again after their high school days.He was In senior high and she
“Oh my gosh, you will ruin your dress Celine, why did you break the glass” Josephine said as she used her handkerchief to clean her stained hands.Branda could not believe her eyes when she saw Nuella, the hand at which she held her wine glass shook but she tried to hold it steadily. She looked towards her husband and saw how he stared at Nuella in shock and a tiny bit of happiness in his face.“Was he happy that she was back?” Branda gritted her teeth. She turned her attention towards her daughter and saw how shocked she was.Celine started walking towards Nuella and Oliver slowly and seeing this Brenda rushed towards her before she would do something stupid.She got to her daughter just in time and held her in place.Celine looked at her mother with anger evident in her eyes “Let me go mother”“What do you think you are about to do Celine”“Didn’t you hear the announcer when she was referred to as Mrs Haywood? You expect me to stand here and watch her reappear in our life not just t
Celine had all this time kept her watch on Nuella and Oliver all this while, she clenched her fist in anger.“You don’t have to worry too much because I just heard that the marriage thing might be fake” Josephine said Celine turned to look at her “Your heard?”“Yes, that is what most people are saying. No one believes that Oliver Haywood is married, they say that he might just be using her to escape getting married to Old Master Seun’s daughter, so you might still have an opportunity with him” Josephine said as kept shaking the wine in her glass.Celine smiled “Now it makes sense” Celine looked towards their seat and saw that Nuella was getting up and heading to the restroom. Celine gaze moved to her father who was watching Nuella since she got to the banquet, he must being willing to approach his dear daughter, but knowing how Nuella and her late sister dislike their father there is no way Nuella would allow him close to her, so she is automatically his only daughter since Nuella ha
Nuella opened her eyes and found herself laying in a very comfortable king size bed. She touched her tummy and sighed in relief when she felt no pain, meaning her baby was still intact. Nuella sat up in the bed and looked at the very familiar room in classical style, her portraits were hung in the wall close to the window, the one she knew which was of her younger self and then the one that must have been made for her recently. She knew immediately who had kidnapped her after seeing this room.Her room was still kept as before the only difference was that it had a more large bed and few other things added to it to make it look like an adults room unlike the teenage style it had before. The last time she was in this room was ten years ago at the age of 13 when her and her sisters had decided to leave the country and continue their education in country B where they will be far away from the things that reminded them of why their mother had died.She stood up from the bed and walked arou
Due to her sudden disappearance Oliver made sure to bring the banquet to an end since he had the power to do so. Everyone left the banquet hall and returned back home but the reporters stayed at hidden corners to try to get information on who and why the banquet came to an end when it was not yet time to bring it to an end. Old master Seun was surprised when he was told about Nuella’s disappearance and who she really was. As a close friend to Romulo, he knew how important his 4th granddaughter was to him including the fact that he has been searching for her for the past 7 months. To think he thought Oliver had married an ordinary woman, turns out he married the heir to the Armstrong empire. He had gone ahead to approve for Oliver to bring the banquet to an end and search for her properly. If Romulo finds out his granddaughter who disappeared for months had suddenly reappeared and then was kidnapped all of a sudden, he will be so furious.Brand and Celine, not wanting to seem like the
What did her grandfather mean when he said she did not know the kind of man she married? What was it about Oliver that she did not know? At the look of things, it seems both men were very familiar with each other.“Nuella, you should make a wise decision, stay,” Rumolo said to his granddaughter.Nuella looked towards her grandfather then at Oliver “Can I stay tonight I will return back tomorrow”“No” Oliver said, he held her hand and started walking out.Nuella looked back at her grandfather and saw a disappointed look and anger written on his face.Outside the mansion David was still relaxing his back in the car with the guards standing in place with guns in their hands as they waited for any signal from their boss to fire their guns.A limousine drove into the premises and Raymond with his wife and daughter stepped out and was taken by surprise at the commotion.“What is going on here” Raymond asked David “Oliver is here to take back his wife”“I know that but what is with the com
When he asked Ethan to run a thorough search about her the time they got married Ethan had found nothing apart from what she had told him from the on set and then the time she had gifted his grandmother an expensive jewel, he was not able to trace the payment of the jewel. He knew there as osmghinh about her that he could not pinpoint, now what was her reason for marrying him?If she makes any mistake of lying to him then he was surely going to show her the other side of him that she did not know about.She had to tell him, she had to let him know how she felt. The way Oliver will react to it will make her know if they had made any progress so far or not.“I…….I……”“You what!!” Oliver was getting impatient.Nuella stared down at both their feet but Oliver raised her chin up so she could look at him in the eye.“Look at me in the eye while you are talking so I will know if you are lying to me or not”“Go on” He stared straight into her eyes“I did not get married because of the money b
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
