The deadly glare she had come to associate with her father was now fixed on Mike, but he smiled back at her father. She hid her own smirk, as she watched her father trying to unnerve Mike to no result. The staring contest; that was what she had decided to call it, continued for a while before her father broke it.

He looked at her, and she knew what he would have done. He would have grounded her from leaving her room or talking to any maid for a week. He would have swept her room for anything that would entertain her and confiscate it, but now, he only relaxed and smiled. “She might not have given birth to Amelia, but she had always been her mother, and your wife will respect her as such.”

Mike’s face was cold. She had never seen him like that, but his hand was still warm on hers. He had never let go of her hand for a minute. “My wife will do whatever she wants. She is not obliged to listen to anyone in here. It will be in your interest to listen to her and respect her. Rememb

    The ride back to the mansion was quiet. All that filled Amelia’s thoughts were questions she had no answers to. Why did they have to do that? Why were they so happy that she had no idea who her real parents were? What could her parents have done to be tagged betrayals? She furrowed her brow as she gazed outside watching the landscape. She had always wanted to be free from them, but now all she wanted was to be close enough to know the truth. How unpredictable life can be.Mike glanced at her, “Don’t think about it too much. They might have lied to you and are not your real family, but I am. I am your family and Anne is also your family.”She swapped her head towards him, and he flashed her one of those rare smiles. “I won’t lie to you.”She nodded because she knew it was true. He had hidden things from her, but he had never lied to her face. He would rather let her know the truth than lie. “I know, but what are we supposed to do now? All this seems new to me and we keep disc

    The room was struck with silence as they all stared at the jotter without saying a word. Amelia frowned. Did he know whoever wanted to erase them from earth? Did he find out about their identity? She couldn’t take the silence anymore as her head started to ache with the numerous questions she kept filing it with these days. “Who are they?” She questioned.Her voice seemed to bring the rest out of whatever trance they were in. Mike nodded along with her. Although, they knew he could barely talk, yet they looked at his mouth for a response. After a minute, Mike pushed the jotter and pen back to him. “Just tell us whatever you know; we are going to figure the rest out.”He started writing again; this time he wrote slowly as he had to take pauses to cough. ‘Board of Directors. Someone is involved in a crime, the victim was one of the orphans your parents were helping. They decided to kill everyone aware of the crime.’Amelia blinked. It was starting to make some sense to her. It w

    Amelia woke up hoping the day was going to be a promising day. Last night after dealing with Ava, they had decided to follow his aunt's suggestion and resume work. She was looking forward to work as she had missed her friends at work, and also what it felt like to have a normal life without thoughts of who killed their family.For the first time, Mike waited for her as there was no reason for them to go to work separately. Amelia wore a wide smile until she got out of the room and saw Ava sitting in the living room. She was dressed up in a white suit skirt and a white top. She completed her outfit with a black wedge and a black handbag. Amelia blinked not believing her eyes; it was the first time Ava had dressed decently.Amelia raised a brow, “What’s going on here?”Ava dusted her suit skirt although there was nothing on it. “I was waiting for you. I think it will be a good idea to take the same car with you guys to work.”Amelia frowned and shared a look with Mike. He didn’t

    Keeping her hands off Mike seemed to be difficult, and she wondered how she had restrained from him all this while. The moment they got to their bedroom, Mike kicked the door lock with his hind leg; they both got lost in each other.Amelia ripped his shirt off sending the buttons flying around, not that she cared about it. She allowed Mike to push her to the bed and gently lay her flat on the bed while he hovered above her, kissing her breath out of her. She felt hot and her body tingled everywhere. The sensation seemed to drive her crazy.“Are you sure of this?”She nodded. The last thing he wanted was for her to regret it, but judging from the look on her face and the way she kept thrusting herself into his hand, he could feel that she wanted this as much as he did.He smiled, “I promise to be gentle.”He sat down and pulled her into his leg making her straddle him. He slowly pulled her clothes off leaving her in her underwear. For a minute all he did was stare at her, “Beautif

    Something was strange, but Amelia couldn’t pinpoint what. The space between her legs was sore, and her nose perceived something like pancake and coffee. She sniffed, inhaling the sweet aroma, but didn’t dare to move as she felt weak.Fuck! Her stomach rambled and she turned without opening her eyes. Her hand moved to the left but there was no one there. She frowned. She remembered Mike was there all night, and if she couldn’t move then he shouldn’t be able to. No one had told her she was going to be immobile for having sex.She heard a chuckle before hearing his voice, “Are you searching for me, Wifey? Good morning, beautiful. I figured you would be hungry this morning.”Her eyes slowly opened and moved to a shirtless Mike serving pancake and coffee on a tray. Although her stomach grumbled at the thought of being fed, her gaze moved slowly to his bicep, and she saw the traces of nails scratch on him. Her cheeks tinted pink. Did she do that to him?He must have seen the look

    “What does that mean? Is he talking about your real father or your uncle?” Amelia could barely hold her curiosity, but Mike had no idea. Yet, unlike Amelia, who was flustered about it, he wasn’t going to let some strange word shift his focus.“Let’s go visit Anna later. I hope she is doing better.”Amelia nodded. She would always want to visit Anna.“I hope she is too.”Her phone beeped; it was a message from the group. The girls were going to Bani’s and wanted to know if she would like to go. She kissed Mike on the cheek and excused herself.The moment she got to Bani’s, she knew something had happened. Normally, the ladies were chatty, but at the moment, the attention of everyone was on them, and they didn’t care, or they were so engrossed in their conversation that they had no idea what was going on around them. They hadn’t noticed her walking towards them.“What’s going on?” She touched Christie, who jumped up before turning to face her. The frown on her lips turned to a smile.“G

    Mike gulped another bottle of alcohol-like water while Steve stared at him strangely. It had been a while since he got in touch with him; getting back to the country after a long time had made them both busy, but he had learned about some of the things happening in his life through Sharon, not that he would tell Mike that. He knew how he felt about this relationship with Sharon. So, he decided to tease Mike.“Trouble in Paradise?”Mike stared at him with a raised brow, “Are you trying to be funny right now?”Steve shrugged, “The last time you drank this badly was because you were getting married. I don’t think you’re about to get married again. Are you?”For the first since their meeting, Mike smiled at him, “I won’t change my bride for any reason, but I don’t mind changing the circumstances that brought us together. Maybe, she wouldn't be going through so much pain then.”Steve nodded. After a few more minutes, he dived into what he had been going through. He had never been good at

    As Sharon urged Mike to move faster towards their parent’s bedroom, his conversation with Steve came rushing back. Sharon deserved to know what was happening in her life. She wouldn’t understand the refusal to take their father to the hospital. Amelia was right behind them, blinking back tears from her eyes. She hated this whole situation.When they arrived, his uncle lay on the bed, silent. Too silent. He wasn’t coughing anymore. His aunt sat beside him, wiping his body with a towel as Amelia did to Mike. At that moment, Amelia could understand a bit of her feeling. If it were Mike on this bed, she would do anything to make him feel better. Mike stood in front of his uncle. His eyes weren’t closed, but they were barely opened. He stared briefly before declaring they were going to the hospital.His uncle couldn’t refuse as he couldn’t talk, and his aunt was glad someone was finally doing something. She didn’t want to disobey her husband but wanted to save him. He turned to Sharon, “M

    Epilogue Amelia had slept all through the trip; being pregnant only makes her wants to sleep all the time. By the time she felt a little nudge by her side they were somewhere far from home. She could barely pinpoint exactly where Mike had taken them to, but the bright sun and the beach side felt strangely familiar. The air was different too. More natural and makes her lean more into him. She felt like she had seen this numerous time, but it also felt like she hadn’t seen it before. Mike assisted her from the car, and it all hit her like a wave. She had the picture of this in her room for a long time. She had sigh looking at him and thinking it there was heaven, this would be it. It seemed so out of reach then like she could never get here no matter how much she tried, but here she was with her husband. She jumped on Mike. “Are you serious?”He nodded, “Of course, I am serious. I bought this place for you.”Her heartbeat raced. It was a different thing visiting the place she had

    The whole room was silent as everyone anticipated the next word out of the newscaster’s mouth. In front of the newscaster, in the left corner of the television was an old picture with five young men and women, with some children sitting on the floor in front of them in a chain. It was easy enough to tell the relationship of the children with the adult. They looked so good while the children looked like they could barely stand without falling. They looked malnourished. The headline was the most captivating; Child Trafficking exposed.They had exposed the names of everyone involved in the trafficking and declared them wanted. Apart from those in the pictures, the journalists were able to fish out more people backing them up behind the scenes. It was a bigger syndicate than Mike expected. It might be one of the reasons; that it was easier for Alfred to cover up the death of his parents.The picture made it easier for Mike’s man to find out a lot about Alfred and to get more vital infor

    The news spread faster than Mike had expected, and his wife’s phone had continued to ring non-stop since the announcement. It was mostly from her foster family. He was certain there would be more calls from the company, but there was no finding out because he had forbidden them from reaching out to him. If they couldn’t handle those calls, they don’t deserve to be paid the amount they were. The families were spread out in the main mansion, all seated on the couch listening to the news. Every station talked about the sudden appearance of ‘Anne’ and the ownership of D&D, which suddenly brought back the hidden fraud cases. No one could get closer to the Afonso’s mansion, so they were perfectly at ease at home. Mike held Amelia’s phone, thinking she would be tempted to pick it up if the call was too much. If there were something Mike would thank the journalist for, it was their speed of linking up gossip. In a short time, they were able to figure out about Amelia’s identity and link her

    Florence had displayed different emotions with her eyeballs within those few minutes, and at last, she settled for fake tears as she gripped the edge of his table, “I’m sorry, sir, but I don’t know much about him. He barely says important thing in front of me.”Mike narrowed his eyes at her, barely moved by her tears, “Seems you just decided your job isn’t precious to you. I’ll ask the HR to type your…”“No sir,” she screamed. Mike raised a brow at her. “I’m ready to talk.”And she did.She split every little thing she knew about Alfred; most she had gathered illegally, maybe hoping to threaten him when they had a misunderstanding. Anyway, it would work well for Mike without putting much effort into finding things about Alfred.After she had split her gust out, he dismissed her and called the H.R. to fire her. Someone who could be so greedy was of no benefit to the company; she could easily tell others their company secrets to gather favors for herself.Glad from all he had gathered f

    As Mike checked his phone, he shared a look with Steve, and they both smiled. It was time to go home. Mike made a call to get a new car before they went home.Amelia couldn’t hide her anxiety after waking up and she didn’t see Mike by her side. He had just gotten hurt, and she knew he might be on one of his dangerous missions. If only he could tell her about it; he keeps trying to protect her.She stood beside the door and called him numerous times, but he wasn’t picking up, which only scared her more. Her mother had tried peeling her away from the door, but it was useless.When Amelia heard a car moving into the mansion, she ran out with Anne hot on her leg. She was super excited until she saw it was a different car, and her legs faltered on the way. The car stopped directly in front of the main mansion, and Sharon came out before Mike’s aunt.Guilt filled her as she watched his uncle come out of the car. Ever since she had gotten her mother out of the hospital, she hadn’t gone back

    Mike woke earlier than the previous day, and although his hand hurt like crazy, he unbound the bandage and tried some hand exercises he had seen online last night.Amelia was sound asleep, which was the best. He knew she suspected things, which was one of the reasons he needed to act faster. Thankfully, her foster father had fallen into his trap after his short visit to his house, and the accident was somehow a blessing in disguise. To them, he was in a serious accident. They thought he was still unconscious. He had made sure that the hospital said that if anyone called to ask of a Michael Afonso apart from his wife.It made it easier for him to carry out his operations without them suspecting him. He dressed quietly and called Steve to join him.During their previous investigation, they found out that most of the children would be shipped out of the orphanage today because they already suspected Mike was up to something. Now, it was up to him to save the children, and recuperating

    The sound of the ambulance and the continuous shouting matched Amelia’s heartbeat. Sharon ran beside her, trying to calm her down, but Amelia pushed through every person and thing until she got to the hospital reception.The disadvantage of her speed was that she couldn’t say a word as she tried to catch her breath. Thankfully, Sharon was quick to ask the receptionist, “Michael Afonso.”The nurse nodded and started typing on her laptop; by then, Amelia had regained her breath, “Where’s my husband?” she screamed, gaining the attention of others in the hospital. Sharon ran beside her, trying to calm her down when another nurse walked up to them. She spoke with Sharon for a while before leading them towards the V.I.P. section of the hospital.As soon as she saw Steve outside the ward, Amelia rushed towards the room, ignoring Steve at the door. Sharon stopped to talk with Steve,Mike lay on the bed with a bandaged arm, but he seemed alright.Amelia ran towards him and started touching ev

    When Mike woke up the next morning, Amelia was fast asleep. He moved out of the bed as silently as he could, trying to avoid waking her up. She looked so lovely asleep, so he planted a kiss on her forehead. Her forehead wrinkled, and he almost beat himself for waking her up until she sighed, turned, and went back to sleep. Mike let out a breath of relief.He knew Amelia was already suspicious of whatever was happening, but he didn’t want her to wake up before he left. He did everything as silently as possible before exiting the room.The moment the door closed, Amelia opened her eyes and jumped out of the bed as quickly as she could with her baby bump. She picked the first dress she saw and wore it quickly. She waited to listen to Mike’s car sound before she ran to the nearest car to follow him.She didn’t think about anything as she jumped in the car and drove after him. Hiding from someone while following them was easier in a movie, but to her, it seemed Mike knew she was following

    Amelia paced in the room with her phone in her hands. She kept trying to call Mike, but he wasn’t picking up her call. “I told you to sit down. I’m sure Mike’s fine. He might be driving.” Anne tried to reassure her.She shook her head, “You don’t get it, mum. Mike did all he could to prove he’s worthy to led company. Can you imagine how he might feel knowing he had been dismissed as the C.E.O.”If it weren’t for Anne, she would have been on the way to the company now, but her mother blocked the way, preventing her from going out, which resulted in her calling Mike multiple times. But Mike wasn’t picking up her call.“He must be very devastated right now, Mum. As his wife, I should be beside him in times like this. I should be where he is.”Anne closed the gap between them, stopping her from pacing around the room. “Fine, Amelia. If you want to see him that badly, I can drive you to the company.”For a second, she thought it was a great idea but suddenly shook her head. “No, mum. Hav
