Mrs Juliet still wanted to bond with her grandkids and she begged Olima and Justin to stay and not leave with the twins.Justin smiled and told his mother, "Mom, we are not yet leaving the house."Mrs Juliet sighed in relief and she took Mike and Henry around the mansion, she didn't want the two boys to leave her side. She called her husband on a phone call and showed him photos of the lovely two boys and also video calling with him.Mr Emerson smiled and told her that he wasn't aware and that he would book a return flight back to the country to come see his grandkids too.Olima and Justin stayed back in Justin's family house. They bonded together as a family and ate dinners at the dining table with his mother.Mrs. Juliet finally asked Olima if she had ever gone to pay a visit to her family house again since she left.Olima shook her head and replied, "No ma."They were eating on the dining table and Mrs Juliet spoke about Olima's stepmother. She told Olima that Mrs. Gina had been jai
It was six months since Olivia Adams lost her parents, and she had been living with her stepmother and her stepsister since then. Her stepmother had turned her into a maid and also withdrew her from continuing her education.Seventeen years ago, Mr. Leo Adams had married Mrs. Zoe Elliott, and she gave birth to a beautiful baby girl with brown sparkling eyes named Olivia Adams. However, after Olivia was born, Mrs. Zoe had complications.Mrs. Zoe cried that she wanted to give her husband more children, but her husband assured her that his love for her would not change. Two years later, Mr. Leo spoke to his wife about his intention to marry a second wife who could bear him a son since Olivia was a girl. He wanted a son to continue to bear his name and inherit his properties.Mrs. Zoe became worried about another woman coming into her matrimonial home and turning her husband's heart against her. She spoke to her best friend, Gina Edwards, asking her to agree to marry her husband.Gina and
It was a bright Monday morning. Olivia woke up in her bedroom at 5:30 a.m. She was wearing a light blue nightgown and rushed out of her bedroom to tidy up the house. She knew that it was the first day of school, and her younger stepsister, Mia Adams, was going back to college.Olivia swept the entire mansion clean, starting from the top floor and working her way down to the first-floor living room. She swept and mopped everywhere until it was spotless before heading outside to sweep the entire compound.After finishing her work and making sure the entire mansion was neat, Olivia went back into the kitchen to prepare breakfast for her younger stepsister. She knew that her stepmother and stepsister would soon wake up from their sleep.Mrs. Gina Adams, a 39-year-old woman, woke up in her bedroom upstairs. It was the first room given to her when she initially married Mr. Leo Adams.She yawned and stretched as she sat up carefully on the bed and stared around her bedroom, feeling like the m
Olivia paused at the kitchen door, reluctant to give up on begging her stepmother.She had graduated as the best student in her school, and if she had known, she could have accepted the scholarship program that was offered to her then.But she thought her father had better plans for her.She turned and pleaded with Mrs. Gina again, “Please, Ma, I really need to write the university entrance examination to gain admission into any university.”Mrs. Gina growled, “And who will sponsor your school fees, Olivia? Did you forget how your loving father cast me and Mia aside? Well, in case you've forgotten, let me remind you that the money I'm using to feed you now is the money I was supposed to use to pay the previous old maids I've sent away.There's no money in this house, and I cannot use my business funds to sponsor your education.Why am I even explaining all this to you? Just get out of my sight now! Before I break your head!” Mrs. Gina shouted, and Olivia finally retreated back into th
Olivia nervously replied, “No, ma. I've checked the kitchen cupboards, and there's no food there.”Mia frowned as she was hungry and asked, “Why haven't you talked since this afternoon?”Olivia stared in shock from Mia to her mother, as she had been helping Mia with her school assignments. Mia was acting nice and friendly with her, but once she saw that her mother had arrived home, she would change and start acting rudely, mirroring her mother's toxic behavior.Mrs. Gina sighed, “Hmm, and you've been sitting here with Mia, watching television. Didn't you know that you were supposed to come to my shop at the marketplace to ask for money to refill the house with food and other things you need for preparing dinner tonight? Or did you expect us to starve tonight?"Mrs. Gina glared at Olivia in a cold voice.Olivia fearfully replied, “No, ma."Mrs. Gina narrowed her eyes at Olivia and opened her purse, bringing out some new cash notes and counting them first.She said, “Here's 10 thousand n
Olivia finally found a taxi, and she entered the back seat, telling the taxi driver her destination, “To the Emerson estate.”The taxi driver replied, “Okay.”He started the car and drove ahead, as Olivia was the only one seated in the cab, arriving at the entrance gate of the Emerson Housing Estate.The taxi stopped, and Olivia paid for her ride before she alighted and rushed through the estate gate, running home speedily.The estate security guards stared at Olivia and wondered what was chasing her, as they knew her well.One of the estate guards said, “She's a gorgeous young lady, often running about on errands since her parents passed.”The others remained silent and continued with their jobs, as there were four security men present.Olivia finally arrived home in front of her late father's mansion gate, banging heavily on the gate and calling out to Nathan.Nathaniel quickly approached the gate from within, pulled it open, and asked, “Why are you banging on the gate like that?"Ol
Nathan dragged Olivia outside from the mansion, and she sobbed and begged him, "Please, sir, don't throw me out. I don't have anywhere to go. Please, Nathan..."Olivia cried, and Nathan replied, "I'm sorry, small madam, but I cannot help you now. You have to leave this house."Nathan was also worried as he didn't know what Olivia had done.He had seen her when she returned home and ran back speedily into the house, and now she was sobbing heavily while Mrs. Gina ordered him to throw her outside.Olivia begged, "Please don't throw me out. This is my father's house. I don't have anywhere else to go. Please."Nathan let go of Olivia's hands and raked his short black hair in frustration.He was a dark-skinned man and of average height.Mrs. Gina stepped out from the mansion and called out, "Nathan! Is that witch still outside?"Nathan stared at Olivia in fear and pulled the gate open as he replied, "No, madam. I have sent her outside."Nathan wasn't yet ready to lose his job, and he opened
Justin stared at Jesse's face in the strip club parking lot, contemplating for a while before he said, "Do you remember the pretty lady we saw earlier when we were leaving the estate today?"Jesse smiled and replied, "Yes, you mean the young lady who ran away from you when you tried to approach her?"Justin glared at Jesse, but Jesse laughed and apologized, "Forgive me, boss."Justin yelled, "Justin! How many times do I have to remind you to stop calling me boss?"Justin never liked it when Jesse tried to maintain a master-to-servant relationship between them.Jesse apologized, "I'm sorry, Justin, but you know how your father would react if he found out I'm being friends with you and calling you by your name."Justin replied, "I know, and that's why I want you to call me by my name, especially when we’re not at home and in public places like this. It helps to reduce the gaze of others on me."Jesse agreed, "Okay, Justin."Justin sighed in frustration and said, "I just really liked that

Olima met with Mrs Juliet's gaze on her. She knew in her mind that if Mrs Juliet had another alternative, she wouldn't be in her office.Olima sighed and replied to Mrs Juliet, "I can understand your decision then ma. But Justin didn't want to."Mrs. Juliet frowned a little and met Olima's nervous gaze on her, She asked Olima, "Didn't you like my son? You made it look like it was only Justin who wanted you?."Olima's cheeks flame red in embarrassment and she replied to Mrs Juliet, "I did like Justin.. but.."Mrs Juliet stopped Olima from finishing her words, she asked Olima, "Tell me the truth. Are you now married? You look like a married woman and I am so scared of what I would tell Justin. I promised him that I would visit you and beg you on his behalf to come home Please come back home and forgive me in particular. I was just hard on you and I cannot explain why."Olima's face turned red as she almost sobbed, but she told Mrs Juliet, "I am not angry with you ma. I can never be angry
Two months passed after Olima and Justin reunited back as lovers, and they became a family even though they hadn't gotten married.Olima hadn't gone to Justin's house was beside hers, to see his house's interior decoration, as she was mostly staying in her own house.She has a lot of entertaining spots in her home, and they usually spend time together whenever Justin visits.They swim in her swimming pool and their twins get used to seeing them together.Mike and Henry already accepted Justin as their father, and Justin now looks healthy and has recovered from his previous slim looks. Unlike the last time that he looks unhealthy.****Jesse has not yet seen the lady of the house that Justin usually visits and even sleeps in her home every day.He only saw the maid of the house and he couldn't ask the maid any questions.One day, Justin's mother called him to return home and she thought to inform him that she had been searching for Olima and she hadn't seen Olima.Mrs. Juliet was not ha
Justin looked up at Olima's face and smiled. He replied, "Yes, I have. I owned the estate.""What?? But I didn't get to see your name there" Olima looked stunned, that she was running away from Justin's family, and she still ended up with him again."I know. I didn't put my name there, but your name is on the document and in my registry too. How about your dad's company? Don't you usually go there, or how do you cope staying here?."Olima smiled and replied, "I go there only once in a while. Mr. Luke gives me an update about the company and he's very trustworthy too. So I don't have to be there always or visit there.""Mm, I hope that you don't run away from this house before I should go to work and return. Or I shouldn't even leave at all, as I don't want you to run away from me again?" Justin asked, taking more steps to meet Olima, while their two sons kept staring at the two of them.Olima smiled and replied, "No, I won't. Where am I going to run away to?.""Do I know? Anywhere of
The following morning, Olima woke up feeling a small hand tapping on her shoulder as she and Justin were still sleeping on the bed "Mummy!" Mike screamed out as he looked shocked to see a man on his mummy's bed.Olima and Justin startled awake and woke up on the bed as they stare at the pair of blue eyes that was staring at them too."My goodness Mike! What are you doing here?" Olima asked in surprise and had totally forgotten that her two kids usually comes to her room every morning to wake her up early in the morning and she didn't usually lock up her room door too..Mike didn't responded, as he sat on the bed beside Olima on her left side and staring intently and suspiciously at Justin's face, as Mike hadn't seen Justin before, and seeing him for the first time, The little boy was wondering who Justin is?.The bedroom door pushed open again and Henry also walked into the bedroom as he wore similar white pyjamas like Mike's own.."Mom!" Henry exclaimed in shocked too as he walked i
Justin replied, "No, I am not... I am not angry with you. I am happy to see you and to be a father, and meet with you again. If there is anyone I should be angry with, Is my mother and not you."Olima frowned and Justin told her, "You shouldn't be feeling any pity for my mother, she doesn't want our happiness.""No, don't tell me that. She's your mom, she carried you for nine months and raised you all by herself. So you shouldn't be mad at her, She would have her reason, I don't know..""Hmm, You are kind" Justin smiled and walked up to meet Olima.He pulled her into a hug again to his chest as she was barely reaching his shoulder height.He said, "I know that is because you're a mother now that's why you're advising me not to be angry with my mother, but is alright, I won't, so long she doesn't come in between us again."Olima frowned a little knowing that Justin's mother didn't truly like her.Justin kissed her cheeks and said, "I do not hate my mom. I am just angry about everything.
Olima feels guilty and not being able to hear that Justin is there. She fears that he might also want to sleep there at her gate.She finally told her security man, "Is okay, Let me go out to see him. Or no, Just let him inside."Olima was worried that someone else who knew her might go out to inform Justin's mother and if truly he was the one, then there was no how he wouldn't have Jesse with him..The security man went outside to meet Justin.Justin looked at the man as he was typing on his phone and chatting with a client.The security man was older than Justin and probably Jesse's age group.He said to Justin, "Madam ask you to come in and see her.".."She has? I knew she was lying to you before., thank you "Justin stepped into the compound and saw Olima standing there in the center of the compound she stared away to her garage not wanting to stare at him as he walked up to meet her...Justin could see that she looked very maturely like a married woman.Even as the night sky had f
Olima was restless after she ran into her sitting room.She has a very strong feeling that the tall dark man that she saw earlier was Justin Robert."How is he the one that's living in the next compound? Justin? Are you sure he is the one?." Olima was worried as she knew that if truly that man that she saw was Justin, then she would be in trouble as he would find out the whole truth about her."What am I going to do now?" Olima had sent her two kids away to go and meet with Lady Eve downstairs, and though her two sons didn't want to leave her side, she had to call on their nanny to come and carry them away.Olima heard the loud knocking sound on her house gate at first, and with each passing second, she knew that the tall man was already at her house gate to confirm his suspicions and he was Justin too"Oh! What am I going to do now? Should I send Lady Eve to go and pretend that she's me and attended to him on my behalf? But Lady Eve is a black woman. Should I send Amara? But Amara i
Justin was stunned as he was standing outside in his garage and speaking to Jesse. He wanted to leave for his new company, which he had recently built, as his company was a fine art company, where he decided to try out his drawing skills and also meet with other top fine artists that were in their city.He was more into entertainment and though he still hadn't forgotten about Olima and wished to meet with her someday, no matter how many times he had gone to her company, and hired a spy to know when she secretly arrived.He was told that she hadn't visited the company for a long time now.Justin hasn't given up hope. He focused on his business and warned his mother never to speak to him about marriage and that she should adopt a grandson if she needed one.He stopped going home, after seeing that his mother wasn't yet ready to listen to him.She called him and told him that she would visit him, but he told her not to, to avoid them getting any further problems.His mother wouldn't stop
