Tyler's POVThe informant had just given me information with proof that she had actually went to visit her ex – boyfriend. I was infuriated, angry and disappointed at the same time. I felt like he had not been doing enough and also angry that my beloved wife left me for her ex-boyfriend. I really wanted to believe that it wasn’t true. Maybe, she went on business at that same estate. It was a big place after all.He waited for all night and she didn’t come home, confirming my suspicion. I couldn’t sleep, pacing in and around the mansion and didn’t even know what to do. I picked up the phone and called her, but she kept on bouncing the calls.The next day was a Saturday and she still wasn’t home. I decided not to call anybody as I didn’t want any more complications. I picked up my phone and called her best friend, Ann.“Hello… How are you?”“Hi there” her voice boomed from the other side of the phone.“I’m calling in regards to Becky. Do you know where she has been? I’ve been trying to
BECKY'S POVThis was the worst day of my life. I cursed the day I married this beast. I almost cursed the day I was born. I didn't expect this to happen, never expected that he could be like this to me but I already had my mind made up, I wasn't ready to listen to all his pleas; I knew what I was going to do.I sat in the room and stared into empty space in an attempt to clear my confused mind but it wasn't working. My mind took a flashback to the incident and I could remember the jealousy and the aggression in his eyes; he didn't even listen to my pleas and now I felt pain all over my body both physically and emotionally. I wish I could get a pistol and shoot him.My pool of thoughts was interrupted when I noticed his presence. I must have been lost in thoughts when he came in and I realized I didn't even lock the door of the room I was in. He came closer and went on his knees; I wasn't ready for all that."Becky, I..."“Don’t. Don’t even do it. Tyler, you just shown me your true colo
Grandma Smith's POVI had felt the need to go spend some time with my busy grand daughter. Even since the death of my son which happens to be her father, I have longed for her the more but it was if she was straying far from me. Her father wouldn't be happy in heaven if he saw me doing this to the only prized possession he had on Earth. I made up my mind to go visit her; but I knew I needed a tangible reason to be at my grand daughter's matrimonial home. I packed up my things and ordered to driver to drive me to the airport, I wanted it to be a surprise so I placed a call through to the assistant."Hi there, where's your boss?""Mrs. Smith, good morning, she has not reported to work today but she has confirmed that she will be in tomorrow. Is there any other way I can be of help to you ma?""Yes there is, I'll be landing at the Singapore airport tomorrow, help me prepare a ride to the mansion. Please, no staff or welcoming party; just me and the driver."The hearty laugh of the young
BECKY’S POVSeeing Grandma Smith at the mansion was the biggest shock of my life. I had not expected to see her at the mansion and at worst, see her crying.“You break up with him and forget about me or you guys can talk and make this work out” were the last words I heard from her before I saw her spiraling out of control.From behind her eyeglasses, I could see her eyes spinning as she fought to gain composure. The ground went away from beneath her feet and she slumped. The reaction was too fast; even Tyler couldn’t catch up as she went down.I rushed over to her side and held her hands; I could barely hear a whimper from her and I instantly knew I was in trouble; much trouble and it was all because of this beast.“Yeah… 34, Estate Drive, The Smith’s… Bring whatever you can and get here!!... Can you make it faster?... Can I administer any form of First Aid?...” he was mumbling and screaming at the phone.Before I knew it, a helicopter painted red and white landed at the ground helipad
BECKY'S POVI had to get out of the hospital, and fast. I knew I had to go see Ann at the other side of the city and be home in time for the family dinner or Granny is going to throw another fest of rage tonight. I certainly wasn't ready for another bout of drama today. I thought fast, approached Tyler and intentionally spoke aloud."My husband, give me the car keys, let me go and get the ingredients for the sandwich at the superstore at the other side of town." I said, rubbing his shoulders and rubbing my body against him. He looked at me and I could see the look of surprise clearly written all over his forehead as he tried to interpret what I just said."What did you just call me?""I called you my husband, or aren't you?" He looked at Granny first, who already had a smile on her face then back to me. He reached into the pocket of the shirt he had been wearing and took the keys out. "I want to pick something in the car since I will have to call the driver to come pick us up with t
BECKY'S POVIt was some minutes to six and I knew how much my grandmother hated lateness, especially to family dinners. I even remembered countless times she scolded my late father about coming late to a family dinner. I want to be the perfect grand daughter till my plan worked. I pulled into my house and threw my car to the valet driver. She was shocked cos I have never given her my key before. I beamed a big smile to the gatekeeper and he was shocked too. I'm going to have a perfect show before my plan worked out. I want to be as unsuspecting as possible.I walked in to see Tyler already arranging that table and Granny going through the wedding photo albums. I put it in mind to also burn the album once Tyler is gone. Didn't want to have any of his memories lying around the house."Oh, my sweet gorgeous daughter, welcome home, I feared you will be late for dinner.""No momma, you know I won't be." I moved over and gave Tyler a passionate kiss on his cheek and neck. The look on his
CHAPTER 16BECKY'S POVThe next day, I called the driver and instructed him to go drop Granny at the airport but Tyler insisted that he wanted to do it himself. He was going to miss his grandmother-in-law so much."Don't worry, let me go drop her at the airport, I have to make sure she's tucked in and there's no issue at the airport. I'll make sure her plane departs before I leave the airport. Don't worry, she's in safe hands.""Okay then baby, I entrust my most precious treasure into the hands of my most favorite person." I heard Granny giggling at the corner.I went upstairs and got prepared for work, it was going to be a big decision day at work and I knew I also had to prepare mentally for the consequences of those decisions. I gave my Granny a big hug and my husband a quick peck on the cheek.****I just got off the phone with Granny confirming that she had safely landed and had arrived home already. I flipped through the carefully docked calendar on my desk, I had so much work to
TYLER'S POVThe events of this week had happened too fast for me to even comprehend. Way too fast. My brain couldn't even d******d the information at that speed.Remembered Granny's visit and her warm smile. Like the way she hugged me passionately, it reminded me of love in the world.Remembered how I had cold feet when Becky presented me with divorce papers on that very day. Becky had come back with a sly expression on her face; I heard her asking about me from the maid and come inside. I came outside to announce the presence of Granny in the house but I was greeted with something different; something much more different."I need you to sign those." She dumped a brown envelope in front of me. I thought it was a document, she probably wanted me to transfer my shares of the company to her; I've seen this coming already. I tore the brown envelope to read the terms and conditions surrounding my surrender."What are this?" I asked as I took out the paper. My countenance went from top to b
Author's pov …#End of Flashback# Ephraim couldn't believe what was happening and wondered how Becky found out about the truth. She knew about the truth all these while and waited till their wedding day so she could disgrace him publicly.“That's not true! It's a lie, I don't know what you're talking about. Who did you talk to? Who has been feeding you with lies?” Ephraim yelled and Becky slapped him again. The priest was confused about what to do next and just kept on staring at everything that was going on. Becky's dad and her Granny kept watching as things unfolds, they were also shocked and couldn't believe what was happening.“Keep quiet and stop lying, you lascivious pretender! It's over for you now and this time, you're going to spend the rest of your miserable life in jail. It won't be like the other time you easily cleared your name and got out but this time, there are so many charges pressed against you and there's no way you're going to escape them.” “You have no evid
** A week later **Becky's pov…I walked down the aisle dressed in a white stunning flowing wedding gown holding hands with my father. He was taking me to Ephraim who was standing beside the priest as he anxiously watched me approach him. He was dressed in a black tuxedo suit and I guess he couldn’t wait to officially make me his wife. Everything happened in a blink of an eye and I can't believe I'm finally getting married to Ephraim.The news of our wedding went viral and the church was filled to the brim despite I just wanted a small gathering.I really hope I'm not making the wrong decision by getting married to Ephraim and I really hope I find happiness in my new home. I made eye contact with Granny who was sitting at the front seat of the church, she forced a smile and I returned a very large smile to her.She was obviously not happy with my wedding with Ephraim including my dad but what can they do when I stood my ground and insisted that it's Ephraim and no one else.I coul
Becky's pov…“I don't understand you anymore Becky, what do you mean by wanting to give Ephraim a second chance? Did you utter that by mistake or what?” My father asked me and I sighed. When I told Granny about what has been going on between me and Ephraim recently, she had to involve my dad and he won't stop questioning me like a detective. “Dad, you should calm down and allow me to explain first, you know I wouldn't take decisions rashly. I know you're fully aware of what Ephraim did to me and how much he hurt me but I can assure you that he is now a changed person.Since he got out of prison, he has now turned into a cool, gentle and more sensible guy. He doesn't even smoke, get drunk or visit the club anymore, he has dropped his old lifestyle. Believe me, I treated him so harshly when he showed up in front of me after coming out of the cell. Dad, do you know how many times I pushed this guy away? I insulted the hell out of him and even threatened to call the cops on him but
** Three days later **Author's pov…“So how is everything going with Becky?” Mr Clark asked Ephraim, they were both chilling at the top most building of Tyler's mansion.“Everything is going pretty well, I'm getting her back for sure because I'm the only man whose shoulders are available for her to lay on. She now believes I'm a changed person and is ready to give me a second chance in her life.” Ephraim replied as he pulled a drag from the stick of cigarettes he was holding before puffing out smokes in the air. “Wow, you must be a good actor for you to be able to win her heart back. I never believed you when you told me you were going to win Becky back into your life because I know the kind of person Becky is. She never gives a second chance to anyone who hurts her, she might even pour you hot water if you show up in front of her. That's how violent she can be but I'm surprised you both just keep getting closer instead.” Mr Clarke said and Eiphraim smirked.“Once I put my mind on g
Tyler's pov…The only reason why I was so annoyed is because Ephraim was involved in this and the fact Lizzy got paid just to show up and act as my girlfriend. All this while, I knew Lizzy's son wasn't mine because I never had sex with Lizzy and apart from that, I found her and her son for the first time when the son was just a year old. The only problem was that I had no evidence to defend myself when she lied because she still had pictures I took with them. She even has a picture of the both of us kissing. In reality, she was actually trying to seduce me so we could have sex. I didn't even know she took a picture .I shunned her and never came to see her and her son again but I took care of her son's bills.Little did I know she kept those pictures to blackmail me and the time came when Ephraim contacted her. How did Ephraim even know about Lizzy? How did he find her? That guy is crazy! I will be the one to put an end to his madness and craziness, I would show him that I'm crazi
Author's pov…“I understand you're tired but I just want you to prepare them for me by yourself. I love the ones you made last time,” Tyler said and Lizzy sighed tiredly. Tyler just asked her to prepare pancakes for him which is so unlike him. The last time she prepared it for him, he only took a bite and didn't show interest in it at all.All of a sudden, he is craving it and just wants her to prepare it. “The maids are available, you can ask one of them to do it, I just feel kind of tired.” Lizzy muttered.“Nah! It's sweeter when you make it yourself, just go prepare it for me huh?” “Okay but you have to promise to stay back home throughout today because you're always busy going to one place or the other. We don't really spend time together,” Lizzy said and Tyler scoffed secretly. “I'm staying back home today so just go ahead and do it.” “Really? Thanks hubby, I'm going to go prepare it right away!” Lizzy said excitedly and suddenly sprang from the bed she was laying on. Imme
** A week after **Becky's pov…“Calm down Ann, I understand your point and I know you deserve to be mad but he is now a changed person. I…” Ann suddenly interrupts me, “Changed what? I can't believe this is coming from you, are you okay at all? So you have been seeing and communicating with Ephraim? Nah! I can't believe this!” Ann yelled out and I sighed frustratedly. It's been a week since I and Ephraim met at a children's recreation center and since then, I don't even know how it happened, we began talking. He got my contact back and we continued from there. There's no day that passes that he won't beg and ask for a chance to prove that he is now a changed man. Gradually, I began softening towards him as I was beginning to see his sincerity and the changes he has been talking about.I don't even know what I was thinking, maybe because I was feeling lonely and I needed someone to talk to so I won't die of depression and loneliness. Truly, I found out that Ephraim was now a chan
Author's pov…Tyler drove back home with a lot of thought running through his head. He just drove out from the hospital where he went for DNA test results. It was confirmed that Lizzy's son was not his child which is obvious that Lizzy is lying and fabricating the DNA test results.He is glad that he has collected one piece of evidence he is going to use to justify himself.He plans not to let anyone know about it until he collects more evidence. There is still one more thing he needs to find out about Lizzy. He doesn't know why his instincts keep telling him that Lizzy is working according to the orders of someone who wants him and Becky apart. He doesn't want to believe it's who he is thinking, he didn't want to just guess or accuse anybody.That's why he is going to find out for himself.Once he has collected enough evidence to justify and prove that Lizzy is a Liar, he is going to make Lizzy pay for every single thing he has cost him. He is going to deal with her so much and m
Becky's pov…“You've been begging me to give you a chance to talk to me, what do you have to say? I've told you that I've forgiven you already so just leave me alone, I don't want to ever see you around me. Whether you're a changed person or not, it shouldn't be my business!” I snapped at Ephraim.“Can you just spare me a few minutes please?” He asked softly and I rolled my eyes at him.I wasn't even in the mood to speak with anyone, I just wanted to keep feeding my eyes by watching the young kids have fun. Why does Ephraim just have to show up? “What do you have to say?” He sat beside me and I sent him a deadly glare that made him shift a little bit away from me.“Becky, I don't think I've ever apologized to you sincerely.”“I've told you already that I don't need your apology and I've forgiven you! Apologizing again won't change anything,” I said with my eyes focused on the kids, I didn't even spare him a glance. “I know but I just feel like there's a need for me to apologize p
