When Tanya and Kenneth were about to go home, the staffs at the reception stopped them from leaving. Kenneth was surprised, "Why did you stop me?" The receptionist fidgeted with her fingers for a while before replying abruptly, "We, we want to invite Miss Tanya to the staffs get together dinner, can...." "No, she's not going!" Kenneth quipped without letting her complete whatever she has to say. Tanya ignored what Kenneth and said to the receptionist, "I'll join you" The receptionist smiled and left. Kenneth looked at Tanya with a questioning gaze. "Can't I even attend staff get together now? I'm also a staff remember?" Kenneth sighed, grudgingly he left for the parking lot alone while Tanya joined the staffs that had now gathered at the hot pot restaurant downstairs.As the staffs were served, they began the celebration by drinking a toast to Tanya's employment before eating. "Em, Miss Tanya, I have always wanted to ask this question, are you indeed married to the CEO?" One o
At his house, Kenneth Griffin didn't prepare dinner as he knows that Tanya would eat from where she went to. He walked into his study and started reading files while waiting for her return. He anticipated her return for 3 hours but when there's no sign of her, he called her phone and it was left unanswered. Kenneth was worried as she took his muffler and rushed to his parking lot to go look for her. Without saying, he could tell that she was in some kind of danger. He was about to unlock his car when Ryan's call came. He ignored it and ignited the car. His call came again, but Kenneth ignored his calls as he was only concerned about Tanya at that moment. As Kenneth stopped at the red traffic light, Ryan's text message popped into his phone and he picked it to read,"PICK MY CALL OR NOT, YOUR WIFE IS WITH ME, COME TO CITY HOSPITAL NOW!" Kenneth was dazed. He turned the car around and left for City hospital without much ado. He could fee his hearth thumping dangerously as he driv
Later during the day, some minutes to evening time, Kenneth who was sitting at the reception saw that the doctor had arrived, he followed him into Tanya's ward.The doctor had already examined her and said the spots and rashes will clear and which is true. Another wound that was discovered on her thigh which she seems to have gotten through a fall was recovering well and she was going to be able to walk again very soon.Kenneth watched from the side. Within the time that he went out to answer a call from the office. When he came back, she had already completely finished the hangover soup. Not only that, she had even started a discussion with the doctor about how the room looked so good.She was truly good at starting discussions. Kenneth looked at the scar on her thigh and remembered the one on her ankle which she got through him and said to the doctor, “Can the scar on her thigh be removed?”The doctor rushed to speak to him, respectfully and cautiously, “That depends on the ind
At Frank's home. He sat on the sofa watching TV while relaxing when Bianca came in. Frank switched off the TV so he could greet her when a slap landed on his face. He held his cheek in panic and looked up to her. "What's this Bianca?" "So you haven't got rid of Tanya in your heart right? You still love that illegitimate child secretly?" She shouted. Frank stood up and looked at her in confusion, "What did you mean?" She raised her hand to stop him again but her hand hung in the air as her phone beeped, it was a text message from her father. "Your mom and I are in the hospital, your sister is sick. So take care of yourself and don't wait up" Bianca hissed as she flung her phone to a corner. "Heavens forbid the fact that Tanya and her mother are my family" Then she faced Frank, "Tell me what kind of deal are you making with Ryan Griffin?" Frank stood still in a daze for a while, he wondered how she got to know about him as Frank. He asked, "Who is Ryan Griffin and who told you
Kenneth got to his house only to meet her live and vibrant. Save for the scar, her body is as clean as a porcelain jug in a way that no one would ever thought she had alot of allergies on her body the previous day. Tanya even took the initiative to prepare dinner for him which marvelled Kenneth the more. "You shouldn't have done all these?" Tanya smiled as she collected his bag and coat, "You took care of me throughout yesterday when I was sick, is preparing dinner for you too much?" Kenneth smiled simply and agreed to her terms. While eating, he took the initiative to ask, "Can you go over to your mum's place for some days?" Tanya's brown perked up, "Why should I?" "I'm traveling to China tommorow and I don't know how long it will take before I come back, it's bussines" Tanya drank the water in her cup and sighed before replying, "So? If you're traveling why should I go to my mom's place?" Kenneth dropped the cutleries and replied, "You're still sick Tanya. How can I leave y
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 fal
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
Bianca sealed her lips as she sat at the back of the car with Mrs Linda while Ryan drove the car. Bianca made to talk first, "Ryan....." "I don't want to hear anything from you! You and mum have disgraced me to bone today!" Ryan snapped. His mother and girlfriend kept quiet again and looked at each other. Ryan just drove on to the Griffin's house to drop his mother. Earlier, he had received a call from Kenneth warning him to put his mother and Bianca in leache. When he got to Kenneth's house and met them discussing abortion plans with Tanya, Ryan can't help the anger that rose to his heart. "When did you two became accomplices? Didn't you oppose Bianca and I being together?" Ryan questioned his mother. Mrs Linda and Bianca looked at each other and smiled. Mrs Linda's mind flashed back to when Bianca came to her and plead with her saying she'll do whatever she asked for. If she could accept her to be with Ryan."What is bad in being close to my son's girlfriend? Bianca is more
Bianca laid on Ryan's bed busy with her phone as Ryan was in the bathroom. When he was done, they went to the living room to watch TV when the doorbell rang. Ryan had asked Bianca to move to his house so it would be more convincing that he didn't have no intention to drag Tanya with Kenneth anymore. He was using Bianca to get what he needs but Bianca is too blind to see it, she was very happy to be able to date a Griffin. Ryan gave her all the assurances in the world so she could let her guard down while he used her body all he wanted. Ryan walked nonchalantly to the door only to meet Frank there looking very angry. Ryan smirked and let him. Bianca who was half naked sprang up the chair with fright. Frank broke down immediately he saw her in this state, "Bianca Trump is this all you worth?" Ryan smiled maliciously and hugged Bianca with one arm and sat down with her to make him more jealous. Frank cried again, "What on earth is happening here? Bianca open your mouth and tell m
Mrs Linda dashed Charles Griffin a tight slap in front of everyone. The people at the table gasped! "Linda did you just slap me?" Mrs Linda was still fuming with rage, "Over my dead body will I let you make this illegitimate child and the bastard in her tummy a part of our family and bear our family name!" Charles Griffin was also fuming with rage as he pronounced, "Tanya is now a part of our family! My real estate shares is now willed under Tanya and her child's name! My biggest company that's under Ryan's name is temporarily on hold until he bring home a wife and have a child!" Everyone looked at him with a sharp gaze. Mrs Linda spoke again, "what sort of pronouncement is that Charles? Why should my son's inheritance be temporary? Kenneth got Immortal Firm before he got married?" Charles didn't say another thing but drop the cutleries and left the dining room. Mrs Linda dashed after him leaving the children alone.Immediately they left, Kenneth also dropped everything and took
"Now that Tanya is pregnant, don't you think you should both move here?" Kenneth's dad asked as they eat dinner. Kenneth and Tanya had told him about Tanya's preganancy in which he received with great pleasure. Mrs Linda on the other hand didn't hide her indifference as she hissed when she heard the news. When the older man talked about Kenneth and Tanya coming live with them, her hatred superseded, "Why should she come here to live? They are doing fine on their own why should they come here to disturb our peace?" "Tanya is already married to Ken, she can't go to her family, which means she had only you as her mother in-law, coming here to stay is that too much to ask?" The father convinced.Hearing this, Mrs Linda quickly retreated, "Spare me the official Jargon Charles Griffin! Your son's mother is dead and I have my own son to look after. Let him make his mother in-law his mother for all I care" "And what about my grandchild? Did that your so called son bring a girlfriend not
Ryan Griffin got out of the bathroom and wiped his hair along the way as he walked to the cabinet in the dinning room to take some alcohol when he saw an unwanted guest sitting there. Ryan Griffin had a loose towel tied to his groin while his chest was bare."When did you get here? And why are you here?" He asked in shock.She smiled simply as she stood up to reveal her short gown. Ryan was once again caught in surprise as she walked towards him seductively. He stood his ground even though he was surprised, he didn't show it as he smirked.She stood before him tall and prideful beaming with smiles. "Stop looking at me that way Ryan. You look handsome when you frown at me" Ryan grabbed her jaw and made her face him while he also replied in a seductive voice, "I also love it when you frown and yell at me, it made me want to bend you and make you beg me" Bianca Trump smiled again, her goal has resumed into getting what Tanya has. Now that she had lossed the baby she had for Frank, sh
Kenneth Griffin walked into the Police station with fast strides when he received a call from the invests police officer that Ryan demanded to see him. The cells where Ryan was, is like VIP since no one is there with him. Kenneth waited in the waiting room when his brother entered. Immediately the police left them, Ryan grabbed Kenneth's collar with alacrity, and punched his face. "What are you doing!!" Kenneth yelled. Ryan wanted to punch him again but this time the Kenneth held his hand and prevented him from doing so. "Hey Kenneth Griffin how can you allow this to happen to Tanya? Who took the photos of me and her?" Ryan demanded. Kenneth adjusted his dress and spat to a corner before facing his brother, "Did you have to ask me that question when you know that your mother is behind all these?" Ryan was caught in surprise, "Mum? How did she know that I was arrested? Hey!!! Is this how you handle things flimsily and carelessly?" "Don't worry, Dad hasn't known about it but
As Kenneth drove to the hospital, he was constantly looking at Tanya who laid at the back seat not moving. His heart raced in panic 'Nothing must happen to you Tanya. I can't go through this alone' He thought. In the next moment, he pulled up at the hospital parking lot and took Tanya into the hospital in frenzy. The nurses brought the stretcher and took her from him and rushed into the emergency section of the hospital. Kenneth rushed after them but the nurses held him back, "Go back Mister, you can't enter" Kenneth stood there sadly almost crying at his cursed fate. He will never forgive himself of anything happens to Tanya. Not long after the doctor came out of the emergency ward. He rusher to him immediately "Where is my wife doctor?" The doctor removed is gloves and glasses, "Calm down Mr Griffin. Madam is fine" Kenneth's heart leapt with joy as soon he heard what the doctor said. He brushed past the doctor to go into the ward but the doctor held him back. "You can't se
"I hope she didn't hurt you in a way?" Kenneth asked as he massage Tanya's cheeks with ice. She clenched her fists, "I wished I could slap her back. You can't believe she lied to me that you're the one that pushed me down the stairs and Ryan saved me?" Kenneth smiled sadly, "That's how a polygamous family that runs business is Tanya. In my family everyone always want to get one or two company to themselves. Ryan hasn't been pronounced the owner of Dad's biggest company yet I'm already a CEO, they'll want to do everything to bring me down" "Then they needs to be thought a lesson. Haven't they tormented you enough when you're young? Can't they let you breathe in peace now?" Tanya was fuming. Kenneth stroked her cheeks playfully, "Everything is give and take in a bussiness family Tanya. If I hadn't married you, then I'll have married someone in exchange for bussines deals" "Arghh. Such an insolence!" She gritted her teeth. Her husband chuckled and placed a kiss on her forehead when
"Yes Ma'am I'll be there soon and I won't bring Kenneth just keep Celine safe" Tanya said to Mrs Linda with worry in her heart. When she hung up, he whispered to Kenneth who declined immediately. "No will I let you go and see that woman alone who knows what trick she has up her sleeve?" Tanya patted his back, "Don't worry, I'll pull it off. I'm sure she wants to talk me into dropping the case. But I'm not that persuade?" She smiled and left the police station.Kenneth watched his wife rushed into the cab and shook his head. Kenneth thought to himself that Tanya will never hide anything from him.'Be safe for me wife' he whispered and hoped into his car to and rush to work. Tanya dashed out of the cab in frenzy and pressed the doorbell immediately she got to the Griffin's house. Mrs Linda herself came to receive her at the door and gave Tanya the most unceremonious welcome ever. Tanya wondered how much impact Kenneth's dad have on Mrs Linda to make her this submissive and scar
