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
Becky's pov…I heaved a sigh of relief when Tyler finally left my room. Gosh! What was he doing to me? Why didn't I push him off when he pulled me closer? Why did I allow myself to get swayed?Only God knows that I would have died had it been the towel fell off completely from my body. How would I be even able to face him if that happens? I would be so embarrassed, I might even run away from him because I can't stand the shame. I guess I would survive since he had once seen my nakedness. I am surprised at myself that I am no longer annoyed and pissed at Tyler for forcing me to have sex with him a few weeks back.Normally, I get really angry anytime I recall how he forced himself on me but not anymore.Tyler knows what he is doing to me, I don't know if he charmed me because I don't understand myself anymore. I stared at the flower he dropped on the bed and sighed, getting me a flower wasn't bad at all. I peeped at the door to confirm if he had left before rushing to the bed. I t
Becky's pov…I was surprised and angry at the same time when Tyler showed up instead. I turned my attention to the maid and shot her deadly glares, she looked down on the floor immediately."How dare you lie to me?! You told me you were alone right? Do you realize the gravity of what you just did? Just know that your job here is over!" I shouted at the maid, ignoring her completely.She immediately fell on her knees and began pleading."Just leave the maid out of this, she did nothing wrong, it was all my doing. I was the one who forced her to do it so face me instead." Tyler said and I rolled my eyes at him and faced the maid still staring at her angrily.I had no plans to see Tyler again this night and wanted to avoid him as much as I could, but this stupid maid ruined everything. If not Tyler is blocking the way, I would have slapped her soundly. "Leave!" Tyler ordered and the maid ran off immediately. I folded my fist as I watched the maid till she went out of sight, Tyler can
** The next day**Becky's pov…“I need you to be smart and hardworking and most especially, make sure you mind your business if you don't want to lose your job. Meet my secretary, she would be the one to guide and brief you on the things you're going to be doing as my personal assistant and also my schedules .You can leave,” I dismissed her and she bowed before leaving. I've gotten a replacement for my former P.A, her name is Miriam. I really hope she does her job well and doesn't piss me off like the other one I fired. Good thing I fired her, she has no regard or respect for me, that wasn't the first time we had problems, but I decided to fire her this time.I understand I poured my anger on her but she should have just been patient, I only shouted at her and didn't insult her. Whatever, I am sure she is going to regret losing her job here plus it won't be easy to find another well paying job. She would end up coming back to ask for forgiveness but it would already be too late. I
Ephraim's pov…“Make sure you deliver it to her house address and it must be given to her directly, it must be given to her in person. Do not give it to any guards or servants or any other person in particular no matter how persistent they are.” I said to the delivery guy on the phone. I actually ordered flowers, gift cards and a gorgeous looking gown that I spent thousands of dollars on. I then sent them to Becky's place with an apology note. Like I said before, I am not giving up on Becky for any reason. She is mine and mine alone, no one is going to take her away from me, I can't stand that. Throughout the time I have been with Becky, I have known her to be the materialistic woman. She loves expensive gifts a lot, I would keep on gifting her gifts till she finally forgives me. She can't be angry at me for too long, she loves me and would start missing me very soon. The call with the delivery guy ended and I fell back on the couch and resumed my sipping and dragging out the he
Becky's pov…I didn't know how I found myself in Tyler's room after having dinner, my legs just took me there. His room was locked but I had a spare key and decided to go in and have a survey of his room since he traveled. It's not like I am missing him, I kind of felt bored and wasn't feeling sleepy yet. This room was the room my late father prepared for me and Tyler to share after we got married. I didn't sleep in here for once so he literally turned it to his room. Everything in the room smelt like him and it was very neat also. I went to his desk that was filled with arranged files. I began checking them to see if I could find anything that interests me. Truly, he wasn't a gardener because these files contained past contracts he had signed with big companies. It's still so hard to believe that he isn't just a mere gardener, how could he keep up with his acting to this extent? Now I understand the reason why my late father wanted us to get married, he shouldn't have kept i
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
