The next day.
Mia always look forward to her weekends but she felt really indifferent about this one. Today being a Saturday, She woke up late and tired. Tired because she didn't sleep on time. The memories of her one-night stand with the sexy stranger kept her awake.
She sat up on the bed and meditated for a couple of minutes; roughly thinking about how messed up her life was. Mia came back to reality when she heard her phone buzz beside her. Seeing that it was her elder sister, Tessie, She picked up immediately.
"Morning Tess."
"I'm really mad at you, Mia. Didn't we agree that you weren't going to keep anything away from me?"
Mia sighed.
"You're nothing but a bully, a bastard, a worthless man, a disgrace, and most of all, an ingrate!" Colton said."Who are you to call me that when you know nothing about me? All Mia told you about me are nothing but lies." He mumbled. The gun was still pointed at the side of his head."What more is there to know about you than being a person who portrays all of the qualities I mentioned. You should be ashamed of yourself. You call yourself a man, yet you depend on a woman for money.""She did that out of her will. She was the one always opening her purse every time I was in need." He said without a care in the world."And you still have the guts to justify your useless self. Haven't you got no
Sunday.Colton spent his afternoon at a golf club restaurant. He had a meeting with some clients and it lasted for three hours.Just a little over 6 pm, on his way to his car, his phone buzzed in his pocket. Seeing the caller ID, he sighed. It was Caleb, his brother."Hi," He answered."Where are you, bro?" Caleb's whining voice came through."Working"'God, Colton! It's Sunday!""And?" Colt said, wanting to know what his younger brother was trying to prove.
After making more conversations with his mother, Colton went to say Hi to his father in the study room. They discussed a bit about work until a maid came to inform them that dinner was ready and that the rest of the family was waiting for them in the dining room.On getting to the dining room, Vicky, Caleb, and Ashley were already seated.Upon seeing her elder brother walk in, Ashley rose to her feet and went to hug him."I don't remember us being on good terms, young woman," Colt said, not returning the hug."You're still mad at me?" Ashley pouted as she looked up at him in the face, still holding onto him tightly."I'm not mad at y
Pulling up in his penthouse's parking lot, Colton unbuckled his seatbelt and reached for his phone. He dialed Chad.Chad picked up almost immediately. "Good evening, Boss. I was just about to call you."Colt sighed, "Don't tell me my parents reached out to you already.""Yes, they did. Your Father requested my presence. I'm about to leave my home.Derik and Vicky knew Chad worked for their son so it was only reasonable for them to instruct him to come over to shed light on the matter.Colton ran a hand through his hair, regretting that he mentioned Chad's name to his parents."Okay. The
Coming out of the walk-in closet, all dressed up for bed, Derik saw his wife, Victoria, sitting at the edge of their bed, deep in thought.He sighed, then went to sit beside her. She had not been herself since Colton broke the news to them."Hey!" He whispered, placing his hand on hers and giving it a light squeeze.Victoria looked her husband in the eye. "Where have I gone wrong?""What do you mean?" He asked."Colton. I think I saw a different side of him today.""He has always been obedient, he never fails to make us proud, he respects us as his parents, he respects our opinions, and e
Opening the door, Colton came face to face with his younger brother, Caleb. He sighed. "Got some time to spare? I want to talk to you" Caleb said, looking serious which was sort of a surprise. Caleb was usually not a very serious person. "Five minutes," Colt mumbled, going back into the office and taking a seat on the couch. "What the hell is going on, Colt?" He asked, refusing to sit. "Who the hell is Mia and when did you guys create a baby?" Caleb thought he knew everything about his elder brother but he was wrong. "I don't want to talk about it," Colt said. "You said the same thing yesterday. You need to grow up, Colt. Life do
Stepping into her office, Mia came face to face with the one and only Victoria Royal who was comfortably seated on the visitor's chair. She felt a little difference with regards to the atmosphere and she was sure it was due to Victoria's presence. Mia's office was of normal size, warm, neat, and decorated with just a few pieces of furniture. Usually, visitors had no business in her office if she wasn't present but they made an exception for Vicky. "Thank Goodness you're finally here. I didn't know how much longer I could wait for you." Vicky's voice came through. Mia couldn't help but think about how a person's voice could emanate such power even though she spoke so calmly. Vicky was indeed a royal. Taking a good look at her, Mia noticed that Victoria
Paying the taxi driver, She helped herself down from the car. Because of how pissed Mia was, She had absolutely no time to admire her surroundings. She walked into the luxurious building and approached the receptionist."Good afternoon. I'm here to see Colton Royal.""Good afternoon, Ma'am. Your name, please?" The blondie said politely."Mia Edwards." She replied immediately.After typing a couple of things on her computer, She replied. "I'm sorry ma'am, your name is not among the list of people he has an appointment with today so you can't see him."Mia sighed internally. "This is urgent. Please can you call him and let him know Mia Edwards is
