BECKY’S POVThis bartender was surely joking. Does he know who I am? Surely, this people joked with their jobs and I wouldn’t want to fire this one unnecessarily. I spoke in a low tone with a naughty smile playing across my face.“Hey, I’m going to give you some money. Can we sort this out?” I offered.“No amount of money will buy my conscience.” He said defiantly.I smiled and tried again. “I can pay you twenty times your salary right now.” I was ready to do that, wanted to show him who’s boss.He smiled and answered. “No darling, thanks… my work is enough. Now, if you don’t mind, there are other people that probably need non – alcoholic drinks at this hour. Excuse me.”He placed a cup of coca cola with ice blocks in it in front of me. Now, it was no longer funny; I was getting infuriated.I looked at my watch and realized I was angry already. I spun the chair a hundred and eighty degrees to see the people seated in the bar; no one had come to the table, I would have been noticed.I c
BECKY’S POVMy mind went on a flashback to when I received a short video from an anonymous number stating that my father was alive. I reached for my phone inside my bag and quickly opened my messages section searching for the video. I remembered I had not paid much attention to the video and I started searching; my eyes scanning for something different amidst the different rows of numbers and their messages.I finally found it and I opened it, playing the video with the sound. The sound was just that of the city and it showed the car pulling up to the same spot I had seen it now. It was a coffee shop. The door opened and one man came out in a regular three piece suit, as my dad always dressed. It was not too recognizable. Then I realized, I didn’t finish the video on that day and I didn’t bother to check back. I looked at the number and realized the sender masked the number; it was something the cyber security guys would take care of; but not today.I made to come down from the spot
BECKY’S POVThe taxi driver followed the red vehicle to a guest house situated just at the outskirts of the city. The gate opened to reveal a magnificent, state-of-the-art hotel with massive, marble walls.The driver pulled into the parking lot a few rows behind the trailed vehicle. I needed to follow him discreetly, thank God I came with my heavy shades and I just fixed my hair over the weekend.I looked over to the meter reading at the other edge of the taxi. A hundred and thirty nine dollars; that was a whole lot cheaper than the cup of martini I downed some minutes ago. Intentionally, I asked again.“How much is my bill?”“According to the meter, a hundred and thirty dollars.”“Do you want me to give you a hundred and thirty dollars? Or would you do more work and I pay you ten times your fare. No hassle.”“As long as it helps the country.” He was feeling very patriotic. I hope God would forgive me for using this man like this.I looked at him, he was moderately dressed and he could
BECKY’S POVI didn’t know if I should be shocked or surprised. I felt a sudden jolt of electricity sweep through me. No, this isn’t happening to me. Today must be a day of surprises. First, Mr. Humph, and then Tyler. There must be something happening in the universe today. I felt more curious to know the estate event that was being talked about. I had not been invited to any event.The event started with the master of ceremony coming out and introducing guests. I couldn’t take my eyes off the two things I have seen today. Tyler must have been very careless with the company’s card, going around getting himself expensive sport cars, watches and shirts without even my consent.Then the master of ceremony introduced the main aim of the event and it happened to be an auction. Tyler; at an auction? He is surely going too far with my money.Different estates and products were called and people bought. Then, the auctioneer went.“Now, to the big jewel, at the heart of the city, housing over t
BECKY’S POVTyleratte Brooke. The name kept ringing in my head as I drove home. I couldn’t piece all the clues together to give me a meaningful picture. First, my dad's PA, with my dad's favorite car, and now, Tyler is a billionaire. Not just a billionaire, the top youngest billionaire in the country.I got home late in the night due to the traffic only to meet Tyler at home in his normal, usual state. He was wearing the sleeveless shirt he wore when I left for work in the morning. His hair didn’t look so sleek like what I saw earlier today.I opened the door and stood at the doorway, staring at me with confusion written all over my face. He was addressing one of the maids so he didn’t notice my presence until the maid in question greeted me.“Good evening. Welcome back ma’am”“Out! Get out!”Both Tyler and the maid looked at me with confusion in their eyes. I don’t really care; I was confused and I needed some answers, a lot of answers and I was ready to get it politely or by brute f
Tyler's pov…I was shocked at Becky's utterance and at that moment, I began to wonder how she knew about the Mahrandra Estate that was auctioned today? Not only that, she has a recording to prove her statement. How come I didn't know that she was going to be present at the auction ceremony? Just how? It's all busted now so I've got no choice but to spill the beans. I heaved a long sigh not knowing where to begin my explanation.The shocked look on her face shows how badly she wanted answers to her questions. "Calm down first Becky so I can explain things to you." I said softly to her because she looked so messed up right now. The tears on her face ruined her makeup and her facial expression shows how confused and baffled she was, she must be trying to wrap her head round everything that was happening.She slowly stepped backwards, still staring at me in shock. "So you're a billionaire Tyler? How?!" She suddenly screamed out and I gulped. "I don't believe it! This is fucking unbe
Becky's pov…I stormed into my room breathing out heavily. As soon as I got it, I locked the door immediately and sat in front of it.What just happened? Like, I can't just wrap my head around Tyler being a billionaire? It's just so shocking and I never imagined something like this, not even in my wildest dreams.So all these while, I was married to a billionaire and just a mere gardener? Now I understand the reason why my late father insisted that I marry him. But why did he decide to go to this length just to have me to the extent of turning into a gardener? My goodness, this is just too hard to believe. My mind drifted to the numerous times I treated him badly because he was a gardener,my guilty conscience begins to set in.But I am not the only guilty one too, how dare he fool me all these while? I deserve to get angry because I am also the victim here! But I must commend him, he is really a good actor. The fact that he endured and took in all my insults, he stood his ground d
Becky's POVI melted at his words and was completely speechless. His hands moved to my cheeks and he caressed them slowly. "Goodnight princess, I love you." He gave me a forehead kiss and smiled handsomely at me before stepping away from me. He kept staring at me before turning to leave till he went out of sight.I released a breath I didn't know I had been holding as soon as he went out of sight. I placed my left palm on my chest as I swallowed so hard, my heart actually skipped a bit when he kissed my forehead and smiled at me. What just happened? I stood in the same spot for close to ten minutes lost in my own world of thoughts before jerking back to reality. I felt like I betrayed myself for allowing myself to get swayed, his stupid charms wouldn't work on me.I should have pushed him off or spoke harshly to him just like I've always done or better still gave him a dirty slap.My calmness obviously boosted his morale, that's what gave him the effrontery to caress my cheeks
