She very well remembered what her grandfather had said the last time, “Grandfather, what do you mean, is there something I need to know about Oliver?” He had said something about her not knowing the kind of man Oliver was.Romulo looked at his granddaughter with a look of regret. He was about to open his mouth to speak to someone barge into the room.They both looked towards the door and were surprised to see that the person who had barged in was Oliver.Oliver frowned when he saw that she was kneeling on the bare floor, he took long steps towards them then dragged her up from the floor “Don’t you ever kneel on a cold floor again and not when you are carrying my child” he warned. He already knew that her grandfather had found out everything so no need to hide it in front of him.Nuella pulled her hands away from him and seeing that, he frowned and held her hand again. She did not look at him and just paid attention to her grandfather.“You Rascal” Mr Armstrong gritted his teeth “Are y
All throughout the ride home, Nuella was silent, she did not say anything to him nor did he say anything to her. She had a lot of questions to ask him in regards to what her grandfather had said but she is going to wait till they get home before asking him about it.Oliver gaze went to her and he saw how lost in thought she was, he could easily tell what was going on in her mind.When they arrived back home, she was quick to step down from the car and started walking inside. Oliver got down and took long steps towards her then held her hand making her stop and turn to look at him.Rosa had come out to welcome them home but when she saw the view in front of her she quietly left with the other maids.“You want to ask me something?” Oliver asked“Yes I have a lot to ask, why did my grandfather say that I don’t know who you really are?”“Come with me” Oliver took her along with him to the elevator and then pressed a bottom leading to the basement.Nuella felt the elevator going done “The
After kissing for long minutes they disengaged from the kiss and Nuella caught her breath, her cheeks were red. Oliver saw how surprised she was with the sudden kiss and how her face reddened. They stared at each in silence and did not break eye contact.“I got you a driver and a bodyguard to follow you anywhere you go from today onwards” Oliver broke the silence.“A new driver?”“Yes a new driver, you can no longer leave the house alone and come back alone. I have to be sure you are in safe hands at all times'' he saidNuella nodded “After you are done, I want you to head to the family residence in the evening”“To the family residence? Is there a reason why, is grandma okay” Nuella asked in worry, Oliver will not just want her to go to the family residence just like that.“Elena will be arriving this afternoon and grandma is holding a small welcoming party for her this evening and she wants you to be there”“Are you going to be there?”“You want me to be there?” He asked her as he
“This project is going to fail” Nuella said as she used red ink to write a big “FAIL” on the front page of the project file then slammed it on the table. Everyone present looked at her in surprise.“That project has already being approved by me, what makes you think it’s going to fail?” Raymond asked, he could not understand the action of his daughter. Her grandfather had brought her here for the project signing since he has made it mandatory that her signature must be in every domestic and foreign project that the Armstrong empire is to embark on.She was only supposed to read the project and add her signature to it for approval only for her to do this?“This project took months to prepare” Raymond added when he was completely ignored by her.Celine who stood far away felt her anger growing by her action. Did she know how long it took their father to prepare this project? She gritted her teeth.The other CEO’s that were present were surprised by her action, why would a daughter reject
“Surprise!!” The moment she stepped into the house she was welcomed warmly.“Oh mine” she smiled when she saw everyone was present, her high school friends including a few other family friends were present.“Welcome back my granddaughter” Grandma May said“Grandma” Elena did not waste time to immediately hug her grandma “I have missed you”“Grandma I have missed you too” she said emotionally Nuella stood close by as she smiled at them bothElena hugged her friends one after the other before hugging some of the faces she remembered until she got close to Alex.“ Alex”“Elena”They both hugged Elena also hugged Alison and when she got close to Nuella she stood and looked at the beautiful lady.“Welcome home Elena” Nuella smiled at herEveryone stood watching including grandma May who wanted to see if Elena would like her sister in law just as they all do.After staring at her for what seemed like five minutes, Elena smiled and hugged her which took Nuella by surprise, she did not thi
For the past month, a lot has changed between them. Although Oliver has never for once told her he loved her or liked her but each passing day he showed her how much she meant to him. The past two months was what she had wished for. First, Oliver was falling for her, second she was now the vice president of the Armstrong empire, third, she was going to be a mother with this tiny angel growing in her everyday. Fourth, she had a good relationship with his grandmother and his sister.But her happiness will not be complete until she seeks justice for the death of her sisters. “I found the location of the assassin that shot then that day”“What is the location”“In a small village in the west”“I don’t want you to get involved again, leave it to me, I will make sure to handle the situation and soon you will be able to get justice for the death of your sisters. All you have to do is take care of yourself and our baby.“I want to be there the day you torture the truth out of him” “Do you
Nuella’s heart was not at ease after Celine had left, she felt there was a reason Celine had come here. Every single day she feels so angry for allowing these murderers to roam around freely. She had already told Oliver everything and even sent all the evidence including the location of the assassin. Soon Celine and her mother would not rove around freely and whatever plan they have will not succeed. Just this morning Oliver had increased the security in the estate and also the number of guards protecting her.After she was done with work in the company she headed out for her lunch date with Elena. She has heard a good relationship with Oliver’s sister that they were now very close.“Sister in law” Elena walked towards her and gave her a hug.Nuella smiled and hugged her back “Have you being waiting for long”“Yes I have, you kept me here for two hours”Nuella gasped “Oh mine, really?”Elena smiled “No I was joking”Nuella sighed in relief Elena wrapped her hands around hers “Come
Nuella watched as the car drove with full speed towards the ice cream stand.“Elena!! No!!” She screamed and cried when the car hit Elena and sent her flying to the ground. Nuella ran towards Elena who was lying lifeless on the ground.“Elena!!”She held Elena body and cried “Please stay with me Elena please, abeg you” Nuella held her close to her chest Some of the bodyguards had chased after the vehicle that ran away after hitting Elena while Pedro and Andrew immediately called the ambulance.Nuella stared at her blood on the ground, Elena’s blood had stained her hands and clothes.“Elena please don’t close your eyes, stay with me please I beg you” Nuella cried, seeing Elena like this suddenly remembered her of when her sisters were shot and their bodies laid lifeless on the ground, she would have being shot as well if not that people around had surrounded them and the assassin saw no chance to shot her.“Elena please stay with me” Tears rolled down her eyes as her forehead was fill
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
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.
