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
Raymond smiled as he advanced towards her, he enveloped her in a hug “I missed you my child” he said in an emotional toneNuella thought she was going to be angry when she saw him again or curse at him for leaving her instead of seeking for her forgiveness but here she was happy to see him.She wrapped her hands around him “Father” she said emotionally Romulo smiled when he saw this, he had made it possible that his son was here today.Other guests in the banquet all looked at the father and daughter. Those he knew started gossiping amongst themselves.“Seems like the old master has asked his son to return”“Yes it seems so”“Is she going to forgive her father?”“By the look of things she might forgive him” another person said Little Cia that was eating cookies immediately stopped eating when she saw tears in her mother’s eyes. Who was that man standing close to her mother? She was sure he had made her cry. Thinking about this she looked at her uncle Alex.“Put me down uncle Alex”“
“Daddy”“Yes baby”“You told me that grandpa died”Oliver moved his eyes away from his tablet and stared at her “Yes, do you want to see his grave?”“I will love to”“Okay baby you will see it the day we visit the family house for now you need to finish your food so you won’t be late for school”“Okay” Cia looked at her plate of cereal, she was sitting on her own chair and table having breakfast while her father was sitting down at the breakfast table drinking coffee. She picked up her spoon and started playing with her food. “What is it baby? You don’t like the cereal?” Oliver asked when he saw she was playing with the food.“I like it”“Then why are you not eating?”“Because I wanted to ask you something” Oliver dropped his tablet then faced her fully “What do you want to ask daddy?”“What about grandma, your mother?” She blinked her lashes.Oliver was silent for a while because he was thinking of the best thing to say to her “She is far away”“Far away?“Yes Cia”“Where? Is she
She had spoken to her grandfather yesterday and he even came back to the office but did not think it was necessary to tell her that he was the CEO of RNA and wanted them to become business partners. Is this how he plans for them to reconcile by keeping things away from her?Her grandfather on the other hand did not think it wise to inform her about this. She slowly scrolled through the page in the tablet and read his information as the chairman of the RNA company that deals with construction. From what she was reading here, it shows here that he had founded the company from scratch in France three months after he had left country A. She scrolled down and read more information on it.Nuella handed back the tablet to Alma who was standing close to her. “What do you plan to do now ma’am?“Invite them for a meeting tomorrow”“Okay ma’am I will do that right away, is there anything else you want me to do ma’am?”“Reschedule my last meeting to 5pm, I will be having dinner later with some f
“I really missed you guys” Nuella said as they sat on their reserved table “I missed you too, I rushed with what I was doing so that I could come back, I missed Alicia as well, how is she asking of me?” Israel asked “I told her you guys are coming today and she was so excited”“I can’t wait to see her”“Her birthday is coming up soon, right? Mattthew asked“Yes, she will be turning three soon in a month time”“I need to think of what to get her for her birth” Israel said “Me too”She is growing up so fast isn’t she?“Way too fast, I which she could just behave like the child she is because sometimes she behaves like an adult” Nuella said and sighed Matthew and Israel both smiled “She is very smart, I wish I had such a child” Matthew couldn’t help but admit.“You can if you get a girlfriend and get married” Nuella teasedIsrael laughed when he saw the horrific look on Matthew’s face.“You should do same as well” Nuella said to Israel “I will skip”“Me too” Matthew said Nuella cou
Oliver has being keeping his mother in prison? She was shocked Nuella looked at the lady in front of her, how is she sure that this woman was saying the truth and about Mariana being in prison? Although nobody not even Oliver had talked about the whereabouts of his mother but she never ever thought that prison would be where she is.“How am I sure you are telling me the truth miss? “It’s Cynthia”“Alright miss Cynthia, how am I sure you are telling me the truth and you are not doing this for some other reason.“Some other reason? I won’t come all the way from C city to H city instead of being with my family just to come tell someone a lie” shd said seriously Nuella studied her closely and saw how sincere she looked “You mentioned you can come from C city, where you locked in the prison there?“Yes and that is where Marian is two”Nuella nods “What do you mean by Oliver has being keeping her in prison? Cynthia brought out a piece of paper from her pant pocket and headed it to Nuell
On her way home she thought about all Cynthia had told her. She is sure Oliver had forbidden anyone from speaking about her whereabouts which is why she knew nothing until today. Once in a while she gets to learn something new about her husband but that doesn’t take away the love she has for him. What she really wants to know now is why she is in prison and was sentenced to fifteen years and why Oliver still wants to keep her there. If she could remember clearly Grandma May had told her that she had caused the death of her son, that because of her a car ran him over so she doubts that is the reason why she is in prison.Should she confront Oliver about it? He always gets angry anytime she brings up a topic about his mother. Should she ask David or Alex about it? That would piss Oliver off. Should she go to C city and meet Mariana? Would it be safe to go see? Nuella thought to herself, she was really confused about what to do now, she has never been this confused in her entire life. A
