After the meeting, work resumed again and as usual, Tanya has little or less to do. She sat on her table while Kenneth was busy with his work. Some minutes after lunch, Ryan Griffin appeared at her table with a cheeky smile."Hello Sister-in-law, want to go for shopping? Seems like you're bored" Tanya was taken aback at his sudden hospitality. She looked at him for some moments without a word and replied after sometime, "Oh, you don't have to worry, I'm still working" Ryan was adamant as he took her hands trying to force her out of the cubicle, "Come on, it's bored around here lets go shopping"Tanya was thrown in an abyssal of dilemma as this man was persistent. She quickly snapped her hand away from him, "Okay, let me inform Kenneth, he should know my movement" Ryan dragged her back, "No no, did you think that annoying jerk will let you, his wife follow me? Let's leave now" Bowing to his reluctance, Tanya and Ryan left the office without Kenneth knowing that his wife has left.
Tanya and Ryan stood still for a while as they sighted Kenneth standing on the entrance of his car with a very cold gaze. Tanya dropped the shipping bags she was carrying to rush to Kenneth side but Ryan held her back with one hand and hugged her to himself. A malicious smirk spread to his face as he said to Tanya who was trying to wringle free from his grip. "Look who is here, isn't this my workaholic Junior brother?" Ryan said with jest in his voice. Kenneth ignored him and walked in long strides towards them and took Tanya's hand from him and walked towards his car. "Won't you let her take the clothes we brought?" Ryan asked. Kenneth stopped and looked back to him with a cold gaze, he replied, "No thanks" He opened the passenger side of his car and shove the stunned Tanya into the car without sparing his brother a glance. Ryan took the bags and rushed to him before he could leave. "Keep the clothes to yourself, I don't need you to buy clothes for my wife" Kenneth sto
Ten years ago.THE GREAT GRIFFIN'S HOUSE. "How dare you an illegitimate child try to get better results than me?" Ryan Griffin shouted on Kenneth that was standing across the room with his report sheets in hand looking very happy.Ryan Griffin attend another school while Kenneth attend Pyramid High school. It's end of that school year and Kenneth Griffin has ranked the top student in the school as usual while Ryan was just half in his own school. Kenneth walked over to his brother, smiling trying to make amends with him. "Come on Ryan, your result is also very good. You ranked 500 out of 1000 students. Dad won't scold you, you don't have to fret over it"Ryan wasn't ready to let go of the anger in his heart as he stamped his hand on the table angrily, "Stop with your fake sympathy Ken! You have always wanted to catch dad's attention right? Did you think getting good results will make dad give you Immortal Firm?" Kenneth was about to lost his cool, "Stop it Ryan. What did you mean b
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
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
Tanya Lewiston woke up without Kenneth by her side the next morning. She was stark naked and her bone ached from the all the pleasure from the previous night. Regardless, she waltzed to the bathroom to prepare for the day. After dressing up, she boarded a cab to the office. That is when Tanya thought of calling Kenneth. As she dialed his phone, the phone was off but she decided to brush it off thinking he had important things to do. She arrived at the company and was told that Kenneth hadn't come to the office that day. This added to her curiously and fear that something bad might have happened. Still pondering, her phone rang. It was a call from Celine. "Yes Celine how are you?" Celine was crying from across the phone as she replied, "Brother Ken had arrested Big brother Ryan. Dad isn't around at the moment. Can you help convince Bro Ken to drop this case?"Subconsciously, Tanya asked, "Why?" Celine's crying voice resumed, "I heard them talking about some accident and kidn
As soon as they entered the bar, Kenneth's ear was greeted by a deafening sound. His heart seems to be buzzing to his ear, Kenneth frowned in dismay. Immediately the both entered, Kenneth didn't realize when his wife dashed into the crowd and joined the dancefloor dancing with pleasure.He ordered some drinks and sat at a table watching her the whole time his mind going back to the first night stand with her. As he watched her dance, he can't help but think back to high school days when she still danced. Just like then, she was still elegant and doleful. A gentle smile spread on Kenneth face and then he slipped his drink. Still watching, two ladies curled to his side seductively and smiled lavishiously at him which looks very disgusting to Kenneth. "Handsome man, shall we have a toast together?" One of them asked.Kenneth stood up and left for another seat incase another person is hiding somewhere and looking at him. Kenneth can't afford any scandals at that moment. The new contr
Tanya woke up on the comfy sofa in Kenneth's office still in her night pyjamas. She looked up and saw him working diligently without stopping. She smiled but was wondering how he could bring her to the office without getting dressed up. "Hey" she called. Kenneth looked up and dropped the pen in his hand and rested on the chair as he asked, "Did you sleep well?"Tanya sat up on the sofa and yawned, "Why don't you wake me up? How can I ever work today with this pyjamas on?" Kenneth chuckled, "You were sleeping very soundly so I brought your dress, you can go to the closet to take a bath and change" Tanya scoffed, "How did you even bring me in while I'm still sleeping? Did everyone see you carrying me?" He smirked, "I took the underground passage, you don't have to feel too embarrassed""Mmm Okay" She bit her lip corner and walked towards him a little embarrassedly, "Did I bother you?""No."As soon as she walked in front of him, he reached out and pulled him into his ar
Kenneth drove through the heavy traffic with fiery eyes and thumping heart. He had called Ryan immediately Tanya left the room and his brother gave him the location to meet.What Tanya said in the room earlier keep flashing in his mind constantly as he drove and can't help but blame himself a thousand times and was also relived that she's getting close to learning the truth. Soon enough, he pulled up at the abandoned port beside the sea where Ryan had set for the meeting. Ryan was standing on one of the abadoned shipments facing the sea while the breeze blew his hair sideways.Kenneth packed his car and climbed the stairs to where his brother was. "I'm sure you're ready to tell me why you're pulling all these childish stunts now?" Kenneth asked. Ryan turned around and smiled coquettishly, "Welcome to my cabal brother. I am sure you would have see my surprise now? How did you like it? Kenneth punched his face with anger. "Shut your mouth Bastard! Did you know how devastated Tanya
