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
Tyler's pov…"Don't worry, I am going to drive myself so you can leave." I dismissed my driver as I got into my car and drove out of the house. I was actually on my way to Becky's company to drive her back home even though she didn't ask me too. The goal is to shower her with so much love till she ends up falling. Since Ephraim is out of the way and she now knows about my true identity, I think it would be easy for me to steal her heart. Since last night, she's softened a bit and I am so glad she even ate the breakfast that I prepared this morning. Even though she refused when I asked her out on a date this morning, I am not going to give up anytime soon.It's going to be a gradual process and I am ready to have all the patience it takes to make her fall so hard for me.I am not going to force it at all, she would mellow at the latter end. My lips suddenly curved into a smile at the thought of seeing again after not seeing her for hours. I checked my reflection at the rear mirro
Becky's pov…"If I get any texts or calls from anyone that's not relating to work, just ignore it." I said to my personal assistant because I was tired of Epraim disturbing and bombarding my phone with texts. He keeps using different numbers to reach out to me since I have blocked his other numbers.He dare not show up his shameful face in front of me. If not, he is going to see the other side of me.He is the least person I ever expected to hurt me, and break my heart. "I need you to clear my remaining schedule, I need to get home already, I'm feeling so tired." I said with a tired yawn as I tried to finish some things on my laptop as quickly as I could.It was few minutes to nine already and I was feeling so stressed out and tired as fuck.I've been so busy since morning and I was the one who decided to choke myself with so much work so I don't start thinking about Tyler.I don't know, I couldn't just stop thinking about him since last night. I badly want to keep being mean to hi
Becky's Pov…The drive back home was silent as no one said a word to each other."Are you okay?" Tyler suddenly asked me and I kept mute. I really didn't expect him to show up and now I am short of words. I can't believe we are in the same car and he is driving me back home. "Hope that fool didn't hurt you at all?" He seems worried and if I don't give him an answer, he is never going to stop his unending questions. "He didn't and I never asked you to come pick me up." I spoke finally as I rolled my eyes. I didn't want him to know how surprised and grateful I was that he came so he won't start feeling himself for no reason. I have my pride, you know?"But it was a good thing I came if not, who knows what that bastard would have done to you." "But you initially came to pick me up and coincidentally met the scene right? I didn't ask you to come , okay!" "I expected this," He mumbled and I scoffed."So how was your day at work? I guess it was stressful right?" He asked."Stop try
Tyler's pov…The brightened look on her face when I brought out the bouquet of rose flowers made me feel satisfied. I actually planned to give it to her once I go to pick her but after the banter with Ephraim, I had to keep it aside till she calmed down.If I had given it to her when she was still pissed, she would have thrown it in my face and matters would have turned worse."I got it for you," I stretched out the flowers towards her and she kept staring at me blankly, obviously trying to hide her surprised expression. I wanted to call her sweet names or try to sway her with some sweet words before giving her the flowers but then, I remembered the kind of temper she had. She might just flare up and everything would be ruined.I wasn't expecting her to collect the flowers from me, I know how stubborn and strong headed she is so I am just going to be patient with her. "Please don't trash it out, I was driving past a florist shop and I thought you might like it if I got one for you
Ephraim's pov…."Fuck!" I yelled out as I watched Tyler drive out with my own woman, Becky. I had predicted that something like this would happen! That's why I never wanted her to get married to Tyler.I should have stopped her with all my might, I am sure she would have listened to me had it been I pressured her not to get married to Tyler.Now that we are having problems, that bastard is trying to steal her away from me. But why the heck is she being just so angry? Yeah, I know I am wrong by cheating but I am not perfect and I am also human so cheating is inevitable. I have apologized and sent her more than a hundred apology texts but she is still angry.What else does she want me to do?Now I came to see her at her office but ended up getting punched by that stupid bastard. He is going to regret laying his filthy hands on me.How dare an ordinary gardener like him punch me? So much disrespect! And if the fool thinks he can have Becky to himself just because we are having slight
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
