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 by her fiance with her Stepsister, then she must really be in a pitiful position. At that moment, Kenneth felt so sad for her. Tears is already playing at Tanya's eyes as Bianca replied, "Isn't that what your mother did? She came and marry my dad, didn't she think of her self respect? Don't blame me, your mother is no better" Tanya broke into sobs. Kenneth can't help but feel very sad for her. He moved closer to intervene but she shot him a glance, "Stop! Listen, I don't have much money to give you" She threw her purse at him aggressively, "This is all I have, take everything before you also accuse me of being shameless again" She wanted to walk away, but Kenneth held her hand. "Listen here, Tanya, you should come to Immortal Firm interview tommorow, show her that you have that self respect" he countered as he gave her a bussiness card To Kenneth's surprise, Tanya laughed heartily even though the tears in her face, she wondered how someone that works in a brothel have a bussiness card. "Then I accept your dare!" She said with sarcasm. With that, she left Kenneth and Bianca angrily. ~~~~~ When Tanya left the hotel, she had decided to give it a trial. She had checked the card and saw the position there. KENNETH GRIFFIN - PRESIDENT, IMMORTAL INTERNATIONAL FIRM. She smiled heartily as she entered the big firm, "Let's see how that punk is going to escape if I find out that he's a liar" She thought. She submitted her ID to the reception and was directed to the HR department where she would be interviewed. Bowing to everyone, she entered the HR department and was directed to the worker in charge of the new workers interview. She was stunned to see the person none other than her formidable Stepsister. Bianca Trump. Tanya stood like one in daze as she looked at Bianca who as busy with her computer. Tanya knows that Bianca works at Immortal Firm, but who will have thought she was the one in charge of the interview. For a moment, she almost thought that she was in cohort with Kenneth. Bianca looked up and asked with a surprised tone and mocking tone, "Tanya?" Remembering the harsh words and treatment she had gotten from Bianca, Tanya's heart swirled in pain and anger. She wanted to leave immediately but thinking back to that man that dared her, she stopped. "Hello, I was directed to you for interview" Bianca dropped her pen and smirked, "Are you being courteous and diligent now? Hey Tanya Lewiston, did you come to Immortal because that male prostitute gave you a card? Did you think such a person can work here?" The others in the room turned to look at them and listened to their conversations. Tanya knew that she was doing this purposely so that she would loose the job, still she smiled, "Miss Trump I came here for job interview, I'll beseech you to keep private matters off work" Bianca smiled again, this is the right time for her to bully Tanya since Frank won't know what's happening since he works upstairs. "Stop your innocent look Tanya. Everyone this lady here cheated on her to-be husband with a male prostitute just three days to their marriage" Everyone gasped. They all thought she was a shameless woman that still goes to a brothel. Tanya felt her plans itch in readiness to slap Bianca but she refrained herself and asked. "Would Miss Trump do me the honor by showing me the proff that I cheated?" Everyone directed their gazes at Bianca. "Hey, are you all believing this vixen? Let me tell you, she's my Stepsister. I know what she can do even if the CEO wants, she can never get a job at this company!" "Yes..." Different talks from different angles bombarded Tanya. She felt drained and sad at thesame time. She immediately hated Kenneth for making her come to this place. "Bianca you...." She was about to say. "You keep your promise Tanya, Welcome to Immortal!" They all heard a voice said from their behind. Tanya turned. ~~ Tanya was shocked to see that her one night stand was the CEO of Immortal. She was in daze as he held her hand while they passed through the elevator to a grand office that signified that the man was indeed a CEO. Tanya snapped her hands from his as they got into his office. "Leave me!" She shouted. Kenneth smiled as he took is seat and faced her with a funny expression, "Tanya Lewiston, we met again?" Tanya smirked at sat on he chair opposite him without being told. "Now Explain, Who are you?" She asked. "I'm sure you can see that I'm the boss of this company" Kenneth replied. Tanya bit her lips as she eyed him dangerously. "So what? You dared me to come for interview, so you called me here to make a joke out of me?" Kenneth sighed. She can't just understand. He keeps glaring at her maybe she would remember him but she keeps ranting about this and that. He took the initiative and asked again, "Look into my eyes Tanya, did you remember me?" Tanya replied with sarcasm, "Yes, Yes, which woman in her right sense would forget the man that took her Virginity? You don't need to explain I remember you" Kenneth sighed again. What a talkative he thought. " I'm happy that inform you that you're highly welcomed to work with me not as a messanger but as my personal secretary" He announced. Tanya glared at him without any reply, she had been shamed publicly by Bianca and in this same company, Bianca is a worker. "I'll be very delighted to reject your offer Mr CEO, Thank you for bringing me here to witness my own scorn" She said sharply and raise to leave. Outside the door, Bianca Trump stood in daze, shocked about the fact that Tanya slept with him already. Why did it has to be Tanya? She had worked at Immortal for six months just to be close to the CEO but instead, she got Frank. Bianca cursed at herself for now recognizing him earlier. She left the CEO office still in daze then she bumped into someone. "I'm sorry" she apologized but the man held her back. Damn it was a mysterious man She tried freeing herself from his grip but he wasn't ready to let go. "Don't you think we have alot to do together? Miss Trump?" That night, the news headlines was updatedAt 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
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
TWO WEEKS LATERAt Ryan and Bianca's home, They both stared at each other in silence, allowing their eyes to communicate what words could not. Thousand words that can't be conversed was exchange within this short time if eye contact.She noticed that there was still sorrow in his eyes, pains and agony like that of a lonely soul shone clearly in his face.Bianca can't help the shudder that escaped her chest. The priceless expression on his face was very nice that she raised her hand and touched his face. On the other hand, he observed the twinkle in her eyes, he can't help but be mesmerised at the lady before him. No doubts, Bianca is definitely a very pretty young woman that looked very innocent. Seeing her face to face like this, a faint smile tugged at the corners of his lips gracefully breaking the pain and agony that shown in his eyes. He wasn’t sure why he had told her that he no longer hated her, but he knew it was the truth. The hatred he once harbored had dissipated, the
After a while, Bianca slept. The doctor diagnosed that she had malaria coupled with her pregnancy and should spend more days in the hospital.Kenneth informed Celine of the news. She was the happiest when she heard that Bianca got pregnant of her second child. When he came back, Ryan nervously put his hand on her hot forehead, and the burning temperature left him distraught.He quickly took off his jacket and shirt, which were still warm from his body, and wrapped them around Bianca to shield her from the cold despite the hospital duvet around her.Bianca weakly opened her eyes. The man had given her almost all his clothes. At this moment, he wasonly wearing his black vest.His muscular body was a work of art. His rugged and untamed charm stood out in the wilderness.“Do you still feel tired honey?” Ryan asked in a raspy voice while fixating on her flushed face.“Uh… It’s cold. I feel so cold…” Bianca hugged herself and shivered.Ryan drew a deep breath. With downcast eyes, he sprea
She was used to the pain, though. “What’s the point of asking these questions now, Ryan ?Are you delusional to think that I will be glad to go back to you because of the baby?"Bianca narrowed her eyes, her gaze vulnerable. She rarely laid herself bare, and it tugged at Ryan’sheartstrings. “I loved you and always supported you Ryan but you decided to leave me for an anonymous fellow. I'm happy that we don't have to worry about all that now but did you you know the pain I experienced because of your foolishness? Our daughter is 2 years old yet you let her know that her father and mother are divorced? I don't have any reason to be with you anymore" Tanya and Kenneth stood by the doorstep watching the drama.Her strong emotions cut Ryan like a knife. His pale lips shivered, and he could not shake off the lumpin his throat.He realized that he was the monster.Ryan trapped her in a loveless marriage and nearly destroyed her.“Do you really mean it, Bianca?” Refusing to give up, Ryan
Bianca complied with the police too and was jailed for some months. Celine stopped working and left the country again. Since he came to confess his sins himself and it was a matter that has already been forgotten, Ryan was given 2 years in prison and was later pardoned 6 months later when Bianca came to pay the fine. Bianca refused to go back to Ryan after everything even though they kept meeting once in a while. As Ryan drove to the hospital, he was constantly looking at Bianca who laid at the back seat not moving. His heart raced in panic 'Nothing must happen to you Bianca. We may be divorced but I don't want you to leave me now. Please' Before he arrived at the hospital, he pinged Gaston's contact but it was left unanswered.Then he used voice mail to say, "Bianca fainted and i have taken her to the hospital, meet us at People's hospital"In the next moment, he pulled up at the hospital parking lot and took Bianca into the hospital in frenzy. The nurses brought the stretche
"How dare you do all these without my permission?" Kenneth's stoic and commanding voice asked angrily. Standing beside him was Tanya, Ryan and Frank. Celine was so shocked that she almost yelled in fright. Bianca was surprised too, she doesn't know how Tanya and Kenneth who was said to be out of the country was here. "Ryan, did you call them?" she asked with a shaky voice. Ryanwalked up to her and held her, "Did you think i will refuse what you say? or have you forgotten that you are my mother now?"Bianca smiled generously at this praise before facing Kenneth and Tanya. "I am so sorry Tanya that I didn't tell you abou this beforehand, I thought we could handle it alone"Tanya only smiled, "You don't have to be sorry sis, we are here now" Kenneth was still looking very angry and intimidating. "Celine Griffin I am asking you, did you know about any of this?" Seeing that she was beaten at her own game and was now at the mercy of her brother. Celine's heart jumped to her throat. S
The next day, Bianca had left the cooking class to drop Chiquita as usual when a red sports car whizzed past her and stopped. The driver lowered the shades and from it, Celine Griffin stuck her head out. "Hello sister-in-law?" Bianca furrowed her eyebrows. She wondered who the little witch as she had called Celine knew where she was and wondered why she came to her. Bianca entered the car and then Celine drove to a seaside. In the car, Bianca had secretly pressed and hold the volume button of her phone like Ryan had set it in case of emergency when they were still married. When they landed, Celine paced up and down while Bianca sat at the bonnet of the sports car looking at her. She guessed that Celine is now aware that her cover was blown. Indeed Celine knew because she had planted a voice recording device under Ryan's bed. "What is it? Why have you brought me here?" Bianca asked.Celine scoffed. "You are kinda smart, which I like, mind telling me why you done all you done? I
Meanwhile at Celine's workplace, Rose stormed in with her eyeballs looking like a fiery pit. Celine now work at Pyramid High as a music and Dance teacher as that is where Keturah attends too. She had gave Rose her card before leaving that day. He gestured his accompanists to leave before facing Rose. "What gives you the audacity to come to my workplace, did you want me to be suspected? are we that close for you to have the guts to come uninvited?" Rose smirked and took a smile knife from the make up kits and shoved it towards him, "Celine Griffin is this our agreement? You want to kill Jesee so you sent an assassin to him without my knowledge is that what we agreed on?"Celine hissed and sat down, "What else should I have done? That bastard had the audacity to kill my father did you expect me to let him live? If not for you who said I should let him suffer I would have killed him a long time ago!" Rose stood in daze for a moment to process the news. Celine wasn't looking gentle,
By the time Rose arrived at the hospital, Ryan has been treated again and was now better.She walked into the room and met him watching the TV. As Rose was about to pulled the chair to sit, her leg slipped from the high heels she was wearing causing her ankle to sprain.Ryan jerked from his bed with worry. "Are you okay?"Rose rolled her eyes and sat down as if nothing had happened and sat down, "I should ask you that, I heard that an assassin came here today?"Ryan sighed, "Are you asking me that silly question? You and the fool you work for probably sent him""Don't worry, Once you have suffered enough we are going to send to where you will only rest and do nothing but rest" Rose replied.There was a moment of silence between the two of them while Ryan stared at Rose like a lost puppy. Rose noticed his gaze and quipped,"Why are you looking at me as if I owe you something or like I hold you life?""No, I was just wondering why you're doing all these. Bianca will really be worried w
Ryan Griffin slowly opened his eyes, squinting at the sunlight streaming in through the window. It took him quite a while to finally sit up with some effort.His head and legs was bandaged. It took him a trillion minutes before he realized that he was in an hospital.Ryan hasn't regained any of his memories by this time. He felt his head throbbing in pain and tired to stand up ans grab the cup of water nearby.He was unaware of everything happening outside, as he sighed uneasily. It was when he laid on the bed and closed his eyes with much difficulty before he realized that he was involved in an accident.Ryan's heart throbbed as he remembered this harsh day. It was actually when he was leaving Dark Lake after visiting Bianca.The door creaked open with a gentle push.He lifted his head and looked toward the direction of the door, only to see a doctor wearing a white coat and a face mask walking in.The door took the water and propped Ryan up to fed him. At this time, Ryan is now bett
