***“I don’t want you anywhere near my family, or even in Canada!” Annabeth slowly raised her head to look at Elizabeth as soon as she heard her voice, tears slowly streaming down her face, Annabeth was putting on a loose fitting black gown that touched the ground with a scarf tightly tied around her head and a black shawl carelessly draped over her shoulders while Elizabeth was in a black floral dress which stopped just at her knee, she was putting on a conspicuous black fashionable fascinator carefully placed at the left side of her hair, her small black bag clutched tightly in her left hand.“I always knew you were like this, but I didn’t think it had gotten to this!” Annabeth sobbed as she turned her body fully to face Elizabeth, “We just buried a relative!” Elizabeth exhaled slightly as she slowly turned back to face the headstone infront of them, a freshly dug grave.“Don’t say we!” Elizabeth snapped lowly, as much as she wanted to pass her point across to Annabeth sternly, s
Next day ….Thatcher’s Corp Headquarters ….“Welcome on board Jenna!” Charles said with a firm smile as he pushed his chair backwards and stood up.“It’s time to prove to us that a female can make a worthy heir,” He added before walking out of the conference room, leaving Jenna and Franco behind.“Jeremy couldn’t make it to this meeting today, so it’s up to you to fill him up on what we was said today,” Franco said to Jenna calmly staring at the projector ahead, his hands tapping the finely polished table generated a light rhythmic sound.“Hmm,” Jenna murmured in reply as she pushed her chair backwards and stood up.“I should get going now,” she added as she picked up her bag and headed for the door.“Hold on Jenna” Franco finally voiced as she walked towards the door, she paused in her tracks with a small sigh, rolling her eyes to the back of her head as she turned to look at him.“Come and have a seat,” he said.“I’m comfortable this way Dad, I don’t need to seat” She replied as she
“So he really has a fiancé!” Jenna murmured and Quinn nodded slowly.“Plus she’s so nice to me, they’re both nice to me actually,”“So what are you going to do?!” Jenna asked her brows raised in concern as she stared at Quinn.“Don’t look at me that way, I didn’t loose anything!”“It was just a crush that got crushed immediately I saw his pregnant Fiancé!” She added and Jenna nodded slowly.“I can only be happy for them, they suit each other actually,” she added.“Don’t worry, your own true love will come along soon enough!” Jenna said and she nodded slowly.“Atleast one of us has found love, I’m happy for you!” She replied with an equally energetic smile, Jenna’s phone dinged signalling the arrival of a new message.She picked up her phone and looked at it, she released as small sigh as she rolled her eyes and tucked her phone back in her bag.“Who was that?!” Quinn asked.“Claire,” she replied with a small exhale.“Jeremy is waiting at the office,” she added as she stood up from the
Much later that day …Back at the Thatchers mansion … “I’m really sorry about what happened, so what’s your plan going forward now?!”“You know you can’t stay with your friend forever,” Tolu, Nimi’s sister said over the phone, Nimi rubbed his head slowly as he laid by his back on the bed.“How about you just come home for a while, you know to cool off and stuff!” She added.“You know I can’t do that,” he replied.“Why not, you’re done with school right, just take a break from work, two weeks max,” She replied.“Tolu I …”“If you want to talk to me, sit up, don’t lie on your bed and talk to me, I’m not your babe!” She interrupted rolling her eyes at him and he released a light chuckle.“As what?!” He teased.“As your elder sister!” She retorted playfully rolling her eyes.“Whatever,” he muttered as he slowly sat up on his bed, a satisfied smile crossed her lips as she watched him sit up.“It’s being what?! Like twenty years since ..”“Ahn ahn! Tolu relax, kilode, twenty years ke?!( Wh
Nimi stood in front of Jenna’s room and placed a small knock on her door, he dropped his hand and stepped back slightly.Shortly after, the door slowly creaked open and her head popped out,“Oh” she muttered as she stepped back a little bit and opened the door wider.“Did I wake you up?!” “No no,” “Come in,” she replied as she stepped away from the door and walked into the room, he slowly walked in after her and shut the door firmly behind himself.“You wanted to tell me something?!” He asked as she folded her right leg on her chair and sat on it.“Yeah yeah, I just wanted to ask something but I already figured it out,” She replied and he nodded slowly.“I was just on the phone with my sister,”“Oh your twin?! Why didn’t you tell me I really wanted to see and speak with her,” she said and he released a light chuckle.“Don’t worry, there’s plenty of time to see her,” he added and she hummed in reply.“It’s getting quite late,”“You should go to sleep now,” he said, she thinned her li
Meanwhile …Cooper’s Mansion.“Why are you here?!” Jeremy gritted standing up as Madison walked into his living room totally unannounced.“What do you mean what am I doing here?!”“Since when has visiting my boyfriend become so strange to you!” She retorted as she closed the distance between them and dropped her bag on the chair.“Ever since you started whatever you’re doing with that Jenna girl, we’ve not even met up for once!”“What are you doing here Madison!” He asked again with gritted teeth, she looked up at him her brows creased in confusion.“For two days now you wouldn’t take my call or reply to my messages what would you have me do?!” She retorted her temper equally rising.“Yes I did that on purpose because I don’t want to see your face right now!” He snapped.“Do you how those your disgusting incessant message have ruined all of my plans?!”“You fucking took me back to ground zero! You literally undid my efforts!” He yelled, she held her hands up to him immediately and sho
5:05pm ….The softly lit studio buzzed with anticipation as the camera crew bustled about, preparing for the next segment of the online show, "Unveiling the Vision." Lily, the elegant host of the program, stood at the center of the set, her emerald-green dress shimmering under the studio lights. She took a deep breath, her heart pounding with excitement."Welcome back, dear viewers," Lily began with a warm smile as the show returned from a brief commercial break. "Before the break, we teased an exciting partnership in the world of real estate. Now, it's time to reveal the faces behind this ambitious venture."The camera zoomed in on Lily's face, and she continued "Joining me today are two individuals who are about to embark on an exciting journey together,”“Please welcome our guests, Jennalyn Thatcher and Jeremy Cooper!”With a graceful sweep of her arm, Lily signaled to the two empty chairs next to her. Seconds later, Jenna and Jeremy emerged from backstage hand in hand, exudin
Later that Evening…After the show .“It wasn’t a lie, was it?!” Jeremy voiced suddenly as they were about to get into the car.All three of them paused as they slowly turned to look at him, he increased his paced immediately and caught up with them.“It’s the truth right, you really are in love with someone?!” he asked again, Jenna folded her hands across her chest leaning onto her car, a small smile tugging at the corner of her lips.“You should …” Jenna stretched her hands toward Quinn immediately as she patted her arm lightly, she gazed into Quinn’s eyes silently pleading that she lets her handle this.“Let’s go,” She said turning to Nimi, Nimi threw Jeremy one last disdainful look, before rounding the car with Quinn as she entered through the other side and he got into the drivers seat.“You’re not joking right?!” He asked again, she slowly looked up at him and held his gaze fiercely.“About what?!” She asked rolling her eyes at him contemptuously.“That you’re not in love with
