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
Grandma May stood outside the intensive care unit watching over Elena who was battling with her life. There is a transparent glass that enables her to see Elena who was laying on the bed in the intensive care unit with a machine connected to her.Grandma May placed her hand on the glass mirror as tears rolled down her eyes “Elena” she called her name and wiped her tears.Matilda looked at the young miss who is struggling for her life “Please get well soon young miss” she murmured. Who would have thought that Miss Elena would be in this situation just two months after she returned to the country.Standing a little distance away was Mr Armstrong, after visiting his granddaughter who is yet to wake up from the trauma. He was about to leave the hospital when he was reminded about Oliver’s sister who was run over by the car instead of his granddaughter. When he found out that his granddaughter was the target instead of this young lady battling with her life in the intensive care unit, he h
