The next day, as the evening approached, Celine sent a text message to Tanya inviting her to the Griffin's house. After sometime, an expensive Rolls Royce was sent to pick Tanya.
On getting there, Celine was not waiting for her at the doorstep, like she had promised, So Tanya stood there after pressing the doorbell. Just as she was still waiting for the door to be answered, a contemptuous voice suddenly came from the house as the door opened. "Is this Young Master Kenneth's wife?" It was it was a maid who spoke out. "Yes, I'm his wife, I'm here for Sister-in-law Celine" Tanya replied courteously trying to use the best of her voice. Be it maid or not, she shouldn't be on anyone's black book. The maid bowed slightly gesturing her to enter. Timidly and panic stricken, Tanya stepped into the house. She met Mrs Linda there sipping tea while reading news paper. She bowed slightly as greeted her. "Hello Aunt?" She wondered where Celine could be at that moment, as she picked her phone and made to dial Celine but the older woman spoke up. "Don't call her, she won't be here for you" Tany is getting more and more confused! What is this woman spewing? "Aunt, Celine....." "I sent her an errand and she won't be back in some moments, why don't you sit and have a chat with me?" Mrs Linda asked smiling. Grudgingly, Tanya sat and faced the woman like someone in an interview panel. Mrs Linda sipped her coffee as she glared at Tanya without any words. After a long silence, Mrs Linda spoke up, "Tanya Lewiston right?" "Yes Aunt" she replied. Mrs Linda smiled maliciously again. Then she continued, "Why are you so persistent? I mean, after all that happened, you can still come back to this household?" Tanya was thrown into confusion again, she looked at the woman, she didn't understand why she was saying all these, still she asked with the most courteous voice, "Aunt, what are you saying? That day is my first time here so what are you saying?" "Stop with your presence Tanya Lewiston, did you have another motive for approaching Kenneth? Let me tell you, whatever your motive may be, I will never let you and Kenneth be together!" Mrs Linda swore. Tanya gulped. Indeed, she doesn't know what had happened. To her, the day she came with Kenneth was the first day of being there. Originally, with Celine being absent, Tanya knew that she won't leave this outlandish stepmother-in-law in one piece if care is not taken. She secretly wished Celine could come back quickly. How could she know that Ten years ago, she had an unforgettable experience with this Griffin's house. How could Tanya, who had amnesia remember that this Griffin's house has a great significance to her life? That's why it's now, she couldn't even know whatever the meaning of what Mrs Linda said. Mrs Linda stood up, she faced Tanya and immediately, she smiled and pretended to be friendly and said to her, "I'll call Celine, you can go upstairs in Kenneth's room to relax before she comes back" From the moment she left, Tanya could feel their malicious eyes, It could be seen that this Mrs Linda was not a good person! Now that she had such a friendly expression, it was confusing. But since she had already come, Tanya Lewiston was not someone who was afraid of things, How could a mere old lady get her? She just swore that she won't let her marriage with Kenneth last. "As if she's his mother?" Tanya scoffed as she stood up to go the room that Kenneth grew up in. As she stepped into the room, the first thing Tanya did was to fall on the best like a tied log. "Ohhhhh, there's alot of madness in the Griffin's, that old woman won't let me off that easily" she lamented as she dialed Celine again. She simply walked to the bathroom to have a look. Who would have thought that as soon as she came out, she would heard the sound of the door opening? Tanya was shocked for a second, she almost thought it was the Stepmother, then she suddenly turned her head and looked at the door. The door opened, and a handsome man that's half naked appeared in front of her! She can't forget that face, she can never forget it.... RYAN GRIFFIN? "Em, i... I think you entered the wrong room" She said trying to avoid the sight of his open chest. Unexpectedly, Ryan Griffin who was standing there with a smirk did not show any intention of leaving. "Shouldn't you be the one to leave?" He asked Tanya once again ranted in her heart, She had really seen such a shameless person before. She didn't remember much of Ryan's personality, but given what Kenneth said about him, she could deduce that he won't like her either. "You haven't—" She was just halfway through when she was interrupted by him. "Don't you think you should go out? Sister-in-law?" He asked in a playful and mocking tone that made Tanya decided to hate him immediately. Tanya was stunned for a moment. She opened her mouth slightly. After she calmed down, she calmed down and looked at the man rationally. Ryan had long eyebrows, a high and straight nose, and cold thin lips that revealed ruthlessness. Especially his bottomless black eyes, as if just one glance at him would send her into eighteen layers of hell. This is exactly a splitting resemblance of Kenneth Griffin. She thought. The air between them is very cold and unaccommodating even though he was smirking. Ryan took out his phone and dialed a phone, and he heard him said to the latter: "Hey, Guess who's here? Pretty thing you've got here" Without explaining, she knew that was Kenneth. Thank Goodness, he'll surely come and save her from this haunting brother of his. Just as Tanya was analyzing it in her heart, the man's voice sounded again. "Tell me, who allowed you to come in? And who are you?" Hearing this, Tanya instantly understood that she had entered the wrong room. She hasn't came to Kenneth's room but Ryan's. She could hear approaching footsteps coming from outside, fervently and silently, Tanya prayed it should be Kenneth but it was Celine instead. "Big brother when did you come back?" Celine asked from the door, seems like she hasn't realized they Tanya was there too. Ryan smirked and turn around, that's when Celine knew that she was there as she quickly rushed over. "Sister-in-law, why are you here? Mum said you're in Brother Kenneth's room, why are you here?" Tanya realized her stupidity, she scratched her head in nervousness, "Em... I... Came to this room by mistake, I don't know this is not Kenneth's room" Celine rushed to her side and held her hand to take her out. "Tanya!" She looked up. Thanks Goodness, it was Kenneth. Without giving any regard to his brother and little sister, Kenneth stormed into the room and took her hands and made to exit the room. Ryan held Tanya's second hand, his playful face has changed to a cold and chilly expression that sends shivers down Tanya's spine. Kenneth's eyes were cold too. His eyelids and his entire face looked so chilly like someone born on a ice skates. Trapped between these two domineering brothers, Tanya was rendered speechless. Waiting for what's to come. "You're pretty fast Little brother, is she that important to you?" Ryan asked. Without reply, Kenneth made to move again with Tanya still in his hands but Ryan was holding her back. "You should answer when a question is thrown at you!" Ryan shouted. Kenneth's gaze became more colder as he replied, "Seems like you're pretty jobless these days? You have nothing to do with my wife so stay in your lane!" He said almost shouting too. Ryan left Tanya's hand and catwalked to Kenneth's side and glared at him. "I have nothing to do with my brother's wife? Hey Kenneth Griffin, why did you bring he back to this household?" "That's none of your concern!" Kenneth fired back almost immediately. Ryan smirked and adjusted his coat and walked out of the room in slow steps. When he got to the staircase, he looked back and throw a question at him. "Did you want history to repeat itself?" Kenneth stood stunned. Tanya didn't understand whatever they are saying. They both watched as he walked in slow steps to the living room.In the study room of Kenneth's house, Tanya vamoosed into the study room with a lump in her throat. Since they both came back from the Griffin's house, Kenneth has been unexpectedly cold to her.As she sat down on the chair opposite her husband, she silently prayed that he change is mind later.The study room was silent save for the flipping of the books left by the window side. The long silence made her more nervous. After some time she began, "Em... Ken you see, I....." "I don't blame you for anything, you dont have to feel remorseful" he said and paused again. "it's just that Ryan Griffin is not a person that can be with someone for a long time"Tanya tightened her grip on her wrists. What is she going to say? She could feel her heart shaking in her chest. She could feel that Kenneth was really angry without knowing, tears ran down her face. "I'm sorry Ken, I'm so sorry. I don't know that your brother will be there. It's my fault, that I entered the wrong room" Sighing, Kenne
In a dark secluded bar, Frank Harper and a friend of his were spotted sitting opposite a man whose face is not visible. The man gulped down the whiskey in his cup and glared at Frank while face formed a scowl and his arms akimbo. "How dare you ruin my well kept plan by letting Tanya and Kenneth get back together?" He asked "I am sorry Sir, I don't know that he had a relationship with Tanya, I only got to know when they organized a press conference" Frank managed to say. The tears threathing to fall on his face didn't make a difference to the man as he began his words carefully. "Look here Frank Harper, I'll sponsor you and support your career in becoming a good project manager like your want"Frank looked at the man with shock, "What are you saying? You'll sponsor me?" "Yes, I'll sponsor you in everything for now but on one condition" The lone ray of hope and happiness that just ignited in Frank's mind slowly died down. "What condition?" The man became silent and poured him
Returning home that day, Tanya decided to cook for Kenneth. She prepared Omelette and bread and sat down waiting for him while watching TV. Bianca sent a text to her as she settled down, it reads, "I can't wait for the banquet tomorrow sis"Tanya hissed and switched off her phone and waited for him to come back. A hour, two, three until after five hours, Kenneth Griffin is nowhere around. Without knowing, Tanya fell asleep on the sofa. Tanya woke up the next day on the bed. She wondered how she got on the bed and rushed downstairs to look for him perhaps he's around. Feeling disappointed that he wasn't around, Tanya slinked into the bathroom to prepared for the day when she noticed a sticky note on her cheeks. She pulled it and read, "I've gone out for business and won't be back anytime soon. Don't worry, I'll attend your grandfather's birthday banquet. My call lines won't be available from now" Tanya can't help but miss immediately she read it till the end. Still yet, she dres
The next day, Tanya half heartedly left for the long boring day at work.After spending the day with joblessness and tossing around and drinking coffee, she got off work. That's when Tanya realized that Bianca wasn't at work that day. She didn't really mind her, her main concern is Kenneth. She knows that her mother would be shamefaced and the bullying she'll get from Bianca if Kenneth didn't show up will definitely be very embarrassing. She got home quickly and dressed up. She paced up and down before going out to board the cab and left for her grandfather's house. It was 5pm, the old house is welcoming several guests as Tanya's uncle's and aunt's invited alot of people. She stood at the gate for a long time waiting for Kenneth to show up like he promised but none of the cars that are passing looked like that of Kenneth's.After all the guests have arrived, Tanya had prepared herself to leave the occasion since her husband is nowhere to be found when Bianca and Frank's car pull
The stepfather didn't let Kenneth and Tanya have time for each other as he calls him around for show off. Kenneth in turn was following him around and greeting the guests while he showed him off.Tanya on the other hand was surrounded by some ladies Kenneth couldn't identify. Most of them giggling at her and admiring the flowers she was carrying while asking questions about her husband.When Kenneth and the stepfather got to where the grandfather is, the old man was pleased at Kenneth immediately and took a photo with him. "Tanya is my beloved grandchild and I won't stand any harm in her way" The old man said to Kenneth who nodded simply.Frank and Bianca couldn't walk around freely as everyone already knows that Bianca is now with Tanya's to-be husband. From where Tanya was standing, Bianca grabbed a cup of alcohol and walked towards her with a malicious smirk. "Hi sister, good that your husband came around, I wonder how yours and your mother's face will look like if you had disa
PYRAMID HIGH SCHOOL, DANCE ROOMKenneth Griffin watched as the girl dancing elegantly like a Nightingale move swiftly towards him. She was dancing ballet. She also take a sneak peek at him as she danced and spasmodically, they'll both smile at each other. After sometime, the class ended and she came out still wearing the white slacks and the ballet shoes as she came out to see him. "Hi Ken, ain't you ever tired of looking at me all day?" She asked smiling beautifully. Kenneth stroked her cheeks playfully, "Who will ever get tired of seeing a beautiful lady like you by their side always? And besides, you dance so elegantly that I can't take my eyes off you. Which planet are you from?" The girl smiled sweetly, her cheeks burn in embarrassment as the students thar were passing by would ogle at them. "She's so lucky to be close to Kenneth Griffin" "Wow, Who would ever thought that our school prince charming will be with this lowly girl at the end. I'm so jealous of her" "Bia
After finally reaching their home, a problem arouse as they were getting out of the car. Tanya rushed to Kenneth's car and hugged it like a big white darling as she refused to let go. . "Oh my baby, how much I love you" Kenneth's expression was changing furiously like traffic lights as he watched her drunken antics. Remembering that he was the reason for her fallen career, he felt more concerned for her. "Everything is my fault. She would have been a dancer now and be a top star if I hadn't took her to our house" He thought to himself as he looked at her. Tanya moved to the bonnet of the car and flung herself on it, "Oh my big darling, I want to marry you!!" She shouted to the night. Kenneth almost erupted in laughter as he heard this. And suddenly he wanted to curse, he wanted to curse Alcohol! He wanted to curse Bianca for making her so depressed to the stage of getting this drunk. With angry face, he took his phone and called someone. The phone rang for some moments bef
Tanya woke up in a warm embrace with a splitting headache. She slept well, like she never did in days. But due to the effect of the alcohol, she was having headache."Where is this?" She wondered.Lowering her had to scan the environment she got to know that she was at Kenneth's house and she was actually sleeping in a car. To even burst her brain, Kenneth Griffin was sleeping peacefully beside her which means she had slept in his embrace for the night.'What the heck!!"Tanya tried to get up from the car but hit her head on the roof of the car. She bit her finger subconsciously what a mess she had put herself in. "Alcohol is my greatest enemy" she lamented"Oh..!" She was gasped, she had forgotten that Kenneth was beside her and was the one talking to her. She was so frightened that she jumped up and almost hit her head again. But Kenneth quickly used his hand to protect the top of her head. "Ken, Can.. Can we get out now?" she couldn't help but stutter."Yes, Let's leave for t
