As Tanya and Kenneth landed at the airport, she received a text from her mum inviting her back home.
She said to Kenneth, "Drop me at the subway station I need to go and see mum" "Shall we go together?" He asked. Tanya shook her head, "No, she just wants to see me after discharging from the hospital" "Alright, I'll also head to our house to tell dad about the outcome of the meeting" When they got to the subway station, Tanya's got off and boarded a bus leading to her stepfather's house. Meanwhile, As Kenneth drove into The Griffin's house, Celine came out with an enthusiastic smile to welcome her brother. "Welcome back brother" She beamed while Kenneth hugged her with a smile. "How have you been? Did you eat well?" He asked as they entered the house. "What about Sister-in-law? Didn't she go with you? Where is she?" Kenneth explained the situation to her and walked into his dad's study only to met it in a sullen and disheveled state. His dad is breaking several things and falling everything apart which shows that he's definitely angry. Ryan came into the room and punched Kenneth in the face. "I have always known that nothing good can ever come from your silly brain" Ryan said maliciously through Kenneth's confusion. He held his cheek and asked with a questioning tone, "what is that for?" "Dad is in this terrible state because of your reckless actions! Did you think we won't know about what happened in China?" Why did you take Tanya along?" He shouted. Kenneth straighten his dress and punched his brother back, "Where I go and what I do with my wife is none of your concern! They approved our contract and will send it to the company's email soon so why making fuss?" His dad suddenly stormed out of the study and shouted, "Why did you cross Mr Li of all people? You won't have gotten the contract if not for him!" Kenneth was now in an abyssal of disarray at what his brother and dad are saying. Despite winning the contract they still behave this way he was very confused and sad. "But what have I done now?" He asked. "Fire that girl immediately! Bussines is business bit an arena where you take your wife for honeymoon" His dad thundered. Kenneth sighed and left his family house without a word. At the stepfather's house, Tanya entered the house finally when the doorbell remained unanswered. "Mum? Mum? Mr Trump?" She called but no answer from her mother and stepfather which made her more surprised. As she made to ascend the stairs so she could go upstairs in their room, She heard footsteps from the kitchen. "Mum is that you?" A shril and cold laughter rented the room as Bianca came in view. Tanya hissed but Bianca said, "Your mum and my dad went out" Tanya stopped as her mind flashed back to the text message she received at the airport from her mum. "Then... Then don't tell me you're the one that called me here?" She asked with shock evident in her voice. Bianca laughed maliciously and replied, "Of course yes, if I had invited you will you have come?" Tanya smirked and sat on the couch, "Okay, spill it, why did you call me here?" Bianca catwalked to the second couch and at opposite her, "You see, I have a deep thinking last night. About the relationship between you and I... I just feel it doesn't feel right" Tanya can't help the laughter that erupted from her mouth as she heard her Stepsister fake remorseful face. Without saying, she could tell that Bianca is up to some tricks again. Then Bianca walked up beside her and said, "Sis, can you lend me some cash?" Tanya was amused once again. Now she understood the reason for her outlandishness. "Lend you money? Can't the man that impregnate you provide for you?" Bianca felt this was offensive but she managed to say, "I'm no longer preganant! I miscarried the baby" "What? You miscarried what? How? when? Did Frank knows about this?" Tanya was surprised. Immediately, Bianca bursted in a dog and said as she laments, "I can't tell Frank. Things have been hard for me Tanya that's why I need your help you know dad can't provide me most things and I have lost my job" She can't help but feel kind of sorry for her show. Even though Bianca had bad character and could fabricate things, Tanya still can't help believe what she was saying right now. "Okay, what did you need from me? How much?" She asked after a long sigh ans silence. Bianca quickly held her hand like a desperate person, "I don't think I need money again" Tanya was surprised, "Why?" She continued, "I got a job at a newspaper company but my family member signature is needed. Frank can't sign for me since we're not married legally and I want this to be a surprise for your mum and dad" Tanya sighed, "There's no need of keeping it a surprise from them it's not as if it that great job, let your dad sign for you. Even if you ask my mom she'll sign for you" Tanya snapped her hand from his and made to leave but Bianca stopped her again. "No! Dad won't sign, I want your signature please. Just sign this for me and we're good I won't even bother with you again" "Get a grip Bianca! Why should I help you after all you did to me? Get your dad to sign it or forget about it!" Tanya can't help but shout as she wear her shoes and wants to leave the house. "I'm sorry!" Bianca suddenly said. Tanya looked back in confusion "What?" She asked. Bianca continued as she sobbed, "Now I reflected on my actions and realized that I haven't been great of a person. I snatched Frank, I ruined your grandpa's party, I'm sorry for everything Tanya but I can't loose this job now?" Tanya was exhausted. She sighed again. "Bring the papers"Tanya got home that day look very downcast. Without speaking much to him, she had he dinner and got prepared for bed. Kenneth could noticed something off in her and decided to start a conversation before she departed to her room. "I won't ask if you're okay when I know you're not" he started and walked to the drinks cabinet and grabbed some bottles of alcohol, "Why don't we chat over some drinks?" Tanya felt like she needed it at that moment to deal with the mental stress Bianca put her through. She nodded in agreement.They settled down at the balcony while watching the stary sky. There was a long moment of silence between them. Just drinking and watching the sky and sighing simultaneously. After what seems like ages spent with sighing, Kenneth spoke first, "Well, I agree that we might be married for some certain reasons but we could share personal problems and concerns to each other. Don't you think the silence between us when we're not talking about work is precarious?" Tany
Kenneth's car rolled into a neighborhood where many private building had their own parking lot and navigated through gated keypads. Tanya marvelled with awe as she saw the rich and luxurious environment and the amazing streetlights. Tanya expected him to stop the car soon but instead the car continued till the end of the neighborhood. "Where are we going?" She asked. "You'll see when we're there" After sometime, he stopped the car in front of a luxurious fountain gushing with cold water while a stature bearing a pregnant woman was at the middle. "Wow, this is a pleasant surprise" she exclaimed as she got down from the car and rush towards the fountain. Kenneth also got down from the car and leaned beside it while admiring the smile on her face."Why did you bring me here?" She asked finally. Kenneth walked lazily towards her and they both sat the edge of the fountain, "I don't know, I just wanted you to see it. Actually... You're the person that brought me here" Tanya was sur
As Kenneth sat at the back of his limousine which was conveying him and his wife to the airport, he received a call from a subordinate. "Sir, the security team had found out about the CCTV footage you gave them last month" As he said this, Kenneth quickly the brothel where he met Tanya, the drink spike hasn't been clarified."Oh yes, what have you find out about it?" The subordinate was silent for a moment before he responded, "We have found the original CCTV footage which means the one you found was manipulated. I have sent the original footage to your email"Kenneth ended the call and quickly checked his email and saw the video sent to him. His hair stood at one end immediately he saw how the drink was spiked. The person who spiked the drink was Frank Harper and it wasn't Tanya's drink that he had spiked. It was the drink he had ordered. In the video, the waiter had served the drink in the cup and was answering other people before bringing it to where Kenneth was when Frank sp
Tanya jaunts happily towards hers and her fiancé's room with a cute gift box in her hand. She stopped at the door so she could plan her entrance surprise when she heard indistinct chatters from the room. She opened the door and met the sitting room filled with women accessories that are not hers. Ranging from High heels, lingerie, and finally a pink gown that was never hers. She was flabbergasted again as she tiptoed to the bedroom only to hear moans and screams of pleasure. Two lips clasped together in passionate kiss. Her heart trembled. She strained her neck and listened. Frank Harper, her to-be husband was about to remove the lady, Bianca her stepsister's bra but she put a hand on his lips. "Not now baby" she said in a soft be gentle voice. Tanya gulped. She waited, nothing came the a moment later, Franks voice sounded, "Why? I'm in mood" Bianca shifted on the bed, "Frank, I'm pregnant!" "What?!" Frank asked, shock evident in his voice. Tanya was also shocked, feeli
Tanya stumbled out of the Hotel gate with hot tears streaming down her face. She couldn't deny the fact that she loved him a bit as she walked on the street that cold and windy night like a desolate soul searching for a bar to drink away her sorrow. She stumbled into a night club with a stagger and bumped into a man on her way inside. Tanya bowed feverishly as she apologized, "I'm sorry". Her blouse opened slightly as her hand hit his chest, he looked at her shoulder, the scars there were familiar and so eye catching. Tanya noticed his gaze on her skin, she quickly covered her shoulder and walked past him and joined the party. Kenneth Griffin stared at the lady on the dance floor, he can't help but wonder where he has met her before. Her dancing steps, elegant but still not perfect as her leg is not steady and sharp. Tanya stumbled out of the dance floor to the counter and sat in front of the bar man himself and drank several cups alone until someone walked by. She looked
Tanya shouted as Bianca dragged her hair. "What are you doing?" A domineering voice asked from behind making Bianca and Tanya very shocked.At first, Bianca's was thrilled by the man but for Tanya, she was shocked that he had followed her.She left Bianca's grip and rushed to him. "Why did you follow me?"Kenneth looked at her with a questioning gaze, "To return your money of course. I don't need it"Tanya gulped. She was about to say another thing when Bianca walked over with a malicious smirk on her face, "So this is it? You left your dear Frank to go and sleep with a male prostitute aren't you shameless for a while?" This word stabbed Tanya. Shameless? That word rang a bell in her ears as she shot Bianca a angry gaze. "Aren't you also shameless for sleeping with your stepsister's husband to be?" Kenneth kept quiet as he listened to this words exchange between the two sisters. He now understood why she got drunk the previous night. He thought in his mind, if this lady is cheated
At his house, Kenneth Griffin paced up abs and down as he watched the CCTV footage that has just been forwarded to him by his subordinate. He had requested for the CCTV footage earlier and as he watched or, he couldn't see how the substance got into her drink just people dancing around."Who drugged her then?" He thought throughout the night until he fell asleep.The next morning, Tanya sleep walked into the dinning room to take early morning water and prepare for her new job as she glanced at the news her stepfather was watching. The newscaster began, "The renowned CEO of Immortal International firm of Springfield City, Kenneth Griffin was confirmed to be a male prostitute" Tanya was shocked as Kenneth 's picture pooped up on the screen.The news continued, "As the witness said, he had slept with a mysterious woman at a brothel in Fairfield and now set to employ the woman. Due to this news, the market price of the company has plummeted as all investors demanded an explanation"She
After work, Tanya was set to go home and sat down at the subway station when a car pulled up before her. The window wounded down and Kenneth's face came into view. "Are you leaving without me?" He asked as he rolled down the window. Tanya rolled her eyes, "We're just acting to be married, don't take it very real!" "Let me send you home"She hopped into the car and they drove away In silent. There was a still silence in the car for a long while before she broke the silence, "This is not the way to my house, it's the other way"Without sparing her a glance, Kenneth replied, "it's the way to our family house, since we appeared on the TV together, you should meet my family. So we're going back together for dinner" Tanya was shocked at his words."Meet your parents? So soon?" He nodded as the car turned into a rich and wealthy environment which made Tanya gawk in awe. "Ken, how should I behave when we arrive? You didn't tell me this before, don't you think I should prepare some gif
