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 surprised as she looked at him, "I brought you here? What did you mean?" "Pyramid High... When we're still at Pyramid High, you found this fountain and brought me here" He explained. Tanya scrutinized the environment to see if she had indeed came there before but no matter how much she tried, she never remembered. Kenneth stared at the luxurious water and his mind flashed back to the day she came to his house and fell from the stairs. Tanya left his house alone that day and got lost amidst the rich neighborhood and ended up beside the fountain crying about her injured ankle. After settling with his family, Kenneth had went after her that day but couldn't find her. After a fruitless search, he walked back home exhaustedly only to hear her sobs from a fountain around his neighborhood. Tanya turned to him with expectancy gaze, "Tell me Ken, how did I come here? What brought me here?" Kenneth looked into her eyes but can't tell her the reason she had came there in the past since the matter about her injury will be brought up. "Talk to me Ken?" She called again. Kenneth revived from his trance and sighed, "I don't know, why don't we look around the fountain? It's looks very beautiful at night" She got up excitedly and ran around the fountain while splashing water on him. They played around the fountain happily without regret whatsoever but deep down his heart, he was blaming himself. 'I can't tell you of the past now as it will make you sad, I'll pay back for making you sad ten years ago by making you happy now Tanya Lewiston' He thought to himself. ~~~ The contract with the Chinese company was approved which means more work for Kenneth to do. He got busier by the day and only have time for Tanya in the night. She was also busy, as she was the one that carries files from one office to another. Despite their right and busy schedule, they always made time to eat together in his office. Seems like Ryan Griffin forgotten about them for a while because nothing was heard from his side. Came this hot and sunny afternoon, Tanya went to Kenneth's office to join him for lunch as usual. While eating and chatting, a staff came rushing which startled them. "CEO sir, there are group of men in Black causing commotion outside" the staff said. Tanya and Kenneth became alerted as they abandoned their meals and rushed downstairs only to see a group of hoodlums causing a scene at the reception. "Where is Tanya Lewiston?" They shouted. Tanya rushed to thr scene with curiousness while Kenneth stopped by at the edge of the stairs watching the drama unfolded. "I'm Tanya Lewiston what can I...." Before she could complete her sentence a hot slap landed on her cheeks. Everyone gasped while Kenneth ran to her side immediately. "Are you okay?" He asked as he hugged her to his chest while she cried softly. Kenneth confronted the men, "Who are you? Did you want to rot in jail for slapping my wife?" The man in the middle that seems like the leader walked forward with a stern gaze, "Are you her rich husband?" Still cuddling her to himself Kenneth replied, "Identify yourself or I'll call the police!" The man searched his baggy trousers and brought out a document that seems like a loan agreement. "This bitch is owing us 20 million dollars!" He shouted. Everyone gasped again as several comments could be heard from the members of the staff. Tanya released herself from Kenneth grip and faced the man, she was about to say a word when a mob of reporters flooded into the reception. Kenneth took Tanya and wanted to rush upstairs but they are surrounded by the hoodlums who are carrying dangerous objects. "Who called the reporters?" The staffs asked each other. The hoodlums continued, "Did want me to raze this company to ground?" Tanya walked forward in spite of the cameras flashing violently, "When did I borrow any loan from you? Did I even know you?" The man brought out another paper and thew it at her face, "Read that bitch! Who signed that paper? Whose ID is there? Mine or yours?" Tanya stared at the paper in her hand with shock. Kenneth walked over and collected the paper and read through its contents. They both looked at each other. In the next moment, Tanya was in tears still looking at Kenneth whose gaze is asking her if the allegations are true. She didn't say a word but started crying endlessly as memories of how she signed those papers flooded in. She can't deny that the papers aren't real. "I will sue you for fabrication, when did my wife come to borrow money from you? Why will she have to borrow money from you?" Kenneth asked with angry tone while cameras keep flashing violently capturing each moment of the scene. "Ask you wife that question, you're not in any position to question me!" The loan shark replied. Tanya just stood frozen with tears. Kenneth looked at her as if to tell her to say something but she can't say anything. In the next moment, Tanya fell to the ground and fainted.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
Kenneth and Tanya stopped the car at the bar beach. "I am sorry for making you see such a scene in my family" he said as he slipped some bear.Tanya thought he was done and was about to say one more word, but he continued, "Actually, there's never been peace in my family. Just like when I was still in high school, we always quarrelled among each other" Tanya sighed, she doesn't know why he was telling her all these. But she choose to listen him as they both sat by the beach."You know Tanya,I never hold any grudge with Ryan,I considered him my brother even though we're not from the same mother. But since we're Young, Ryan always wanted to get what I have. He has been competing with me since we're younger" He stopped. Tanya looked at him and imagined how hurtful and painful it was to have such a brother. She never has a sibling, but Tanya could imagine how Kenneth must be trying to make him and his brother be on the same page. She remembered him of course, Ryan Griffin. Always co
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 pho
