Nuella looked outside the window as the plane landed slowly to the ground. She smiled and felt so happy to be back home, due to work she has been away for three weeks and it was so hard since she had to leave her child and her angry husband who was pissed that she had traveled so far and long. She was sure that now that she is back he will not let her travel so far again because of business.Nuella felt like laughing when she remembered how his face was when they were doing a video call yesterday. She had jokingly told him she would not be able to return today and he became angry that she had to immediately rephrase her statement. Still he was pissed and had to show her Cia who was sleeping on their bed, according to him she had refused to sleep in her room because she didn’t want home to be lonely, indirectly telling her that he was lonely.That made her giggle She did not wish to be away from them, she has been really busy since she took over as the president of Armstrong group, sh
The teacher held little Cia’s hand who jumped as they walked towards the car park where parents are waiting in their cars to pick up their kids from school. Unlike other kids who at least one of their parent comes to pick them up, Cia is always picked up from school by her nanny and two bodyguards, this is due to the busy schedule of her parents and the whole school knows who are parents are and why they are not able to pick her from school themselves.Her school teacher, Mrs Margaret who is middle aged walked her to the familiar car that always comes to pick her up from school.The car door open and Cia and her teacher expected to see the nanny step out of the car but to her greatest surprise her mother stepped out of the car instead.Cia’s eyes widened in surprise and she let go of her teachers hand and ran towards her mother.Nuella benth down and widened her hands to hug her child.“Mommy!!”Nuella hugged her tight and kissed her check “Happy to see mommy?”Cia nodded and jumped i
Elena spent a year and 6 months in coma and went through therapy to recover fully, no after an extra year and months her life has been back to normal as she is no longerthat girl that loves to overspend and was irresponsible. After the accident and being in coma for that long she has completely changed that now she now holds a position in the family company and has been handed her inheritance by Oliver who noticed how much she has changed.Elena stepped into the house and was greeted by Matilda.“Welcome young miss Elena” Matilda bowed her head to show respect.“Thank you Matilda, do we have visitors? she asked since there were noises coming from the dining area.“Yes, it’s your sister in law and niece that came to visit”“Sister in law is back?”Matilda nodded Elena headed to the dining area with a smile on her face.She got to the dining and saw the three on the table having a late lunch. Little Cia was busy stuffing her mouth with chicken.Elena smiled at her cuteness, she loves c
It's 10 pm and Oliver is not yet back, Nuella tried his number twice but he did not pick. That was new because Oliver would pick her call at the first ring, she remembered him saying he will hang out with Alex and David so she decided to give David a call and after the first ring David picked.“Nuella”“Hey David, is Oliver with you, he is not picking”David who was standing outside the office of Alison looked towards Oliver, how is he to tell Nuella that Oliver fought Alex? that they had to take Alex to the hospital because of it.“He is fine and will be ho………” He was not able to finish his statement when Alison collected the phone from his ear.“Alison did not say anything to her…….”Alison gave him a cold look before walking away to go speak to Nuella.“Hello, hello David are you there? '' she was starting to feel something was wrong.“Hey Nuella, it’s me Alison”“Alison did something happen”“Yes, something happened” Alison sounded piseed Nuella stood up from the couch “What’s
“What do you mean by the meeting was canceled!” Rómulo’ shouted at Nuella’s assistant who just came to inform him that the crucial meeting that made him come to the company was suddenly cancelled.He had come for the crucial meeting but was suddenly told that it was canceled-."My granddaughter wouldn't just cancel such an important meeting!!""Sirrrr........sir, it was Mr Haywood, her husband that called off the meeting on her behalf" Alma, Nuella's assistant said as she shivered at the cold gaze of the old master."Oliver did what!!”“Sir he called and canceled her meeting”Romulo gritted his teeth “Hand me my phone James”James immediately handed him his cell phone and he put a call across Nuella. Oliver was already in control of all her life so why does he want to be in control of her work.The phone rang for a few seconds before it was picked up.“Nuella” Romulo called out “It’s Oliver” Romulo removed the phone in his ear and looked at the number to be sure he called the right
Soon the father and daughter took over the entire space in the kitchen as they started their baking section. Cia occasionally jumps up in excitement as she is about to learn something new. In her school they had taken her whole class on an excursion to a bakery and they got to see how different cookies and other pastries were made, it fascinated her greatly that she vowed to learn it. She sat on top of a kitchen counter far from the oven and cooking gas, her father had told her she needed to be far away from it for safety reasons. She sat there and watched as her father got everything ready that they will be using for baking.The chefs, including some maids and Rosa, stood outside the kitchen and peeped through the little opening on the door as they watched their master for the first time since they started working for him in the kitchen about to bake. It was a great shock to them. If anyone tells them that their almighty boss, the most powerful business man in the city, will one day
A Week LaterROMULO ARMSTRONG 80th BIRTHDAY It is a busy day at the Armstrong estate with servants moving around trying to get everything done before guests arrive for the party.By 5pm reporters were already outside the estate as they waited to gain entrance inside the large family estate. The party is scheduled to begin by 7pm which is about two hours from now but they came early so as to see the first guest arrive.“Is that not Mrs Haywood’s car approaching?” One of the reporters from Hcity daily news asked his senior colleague who looked towards the direction of the car approaching the giant gate.“Yes it’s her car” they immediately brought out their cameras and started recording.“It’s 5:20pm and Nuella Armstrong just arrived at the Armstrong residence for her grandfather's birthday party and from what we can see little miss Alicia her daughter arrived with her '' the cameraman videos the luxury car of Nuella as it drives into the estate.“We will surely come back online when o
The Armstrong estate is vast in size and has several buildings inside, one of which is a family temple and also a large reception building close to the mansion, the reception will be used for the banquet and everything has been put in place already. At about 6:30, guests began to arrive for the banquet.This isn’t just any guests, but people in the elite society, the Castillo family arrived, one of the top military families arrived, and other top people in the society also attended the banquet of the Armstrong family. Directors and other top employees of the Armstrong empire arrived at the banquet.Reporters from different media/tv houses took photos and videos and covered stories of the whole event. Arriving at the banquet were legendary actors and artists who were immediately interviewed by the reporters.“I’m glad you guys made it” Nuella said the moment she saw Alison and Alex in the banquet hall. She had immediately hugged both of them and kissed them on the cheek.“We could not

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.
