The next day, August was woken up from a call.She checked the caller and saw that it was her mother who called her.So she picked the phone and said groggily, “Good Morning mum”Rosa was so happy to hear that her daughter was getting married to her friend’s son.“You this foolish girl, you didn’t even bother to tell me that you are getting married, if I had not heard it from my friend’s mouth, I wouldn’t have known”. Rosa pouted her lips angrily and lashed August.“I’m really sorry mum, it slipped my mind. Don’t be angry”. August said with a soft voice to calm her mother down.“You know I can’t stay angry with you for so long”. Rosa said and laughed.“Yeah mum, how is dad? She asked .Rosa stared at her husband who was sleeping heavily and sighed, “he is still asleep “.She checked the time and saw that it was still very early, so she facepalmed herself and said,”sorry baby, I didn’t check the time when I called”.August laughed, “I bet you must be super excited to notice “.Rosa no
“What is taking them so long? Rhea walked back and forth and asked.“Calm down honey, they will be out soon”. Kent’s father said to calm his wife but Rhea ignored him which made him pout his lips pitifully.Kevin noticed it and walked to his father, “What did you do? He asked.Luke was startled with the voice, so he smacked Kevin’s head and stayed sternly,”Mind your business,or rather get yourself a wife. You are not getting any younger “. Luke said and went to his wife's side while acting cute.Kevin scratched his head and stared at Jenny who was conversing with Jenny and parent and sighed.“Don’t worry bro she will come around”. Anthony hugged his shoulder and said.“I hope so”. He said and sighed.In the registration office, August was nervous, so she clenched her fist to reduce her anxiety .Kent noticed her little action, so he held her hand and smiled at her.“Are you ready for this? He asked her.August was silent for a while when she finally replied, “I don’t really know, I ju
Rhea was pacing back and forth, when she sighted August and Kent coming out of the office.She ran to them and asked nervously, "Did it go through?".August smiled and showed her the red marriage certificate, she grinned happily and took before hugging August tight."Welcome to the Ken family child". She said and pecked her forehead.August smiled and said, "Thank you mum".Rosa walked forward in tears and hugged her daughter, "I'm so happy, happy for you".She stared at Kent and Said, "Please take care of my daughter"."I promise mum, I will take good care of her". Kent said while staring at August with love in his eyes.August blushed when she saw the loving stare coming from Kent."Don't worry Rose, if anything happens to my baby girl, then I will disown Kent and Kevin and adopt August". Rhea said seriously.Everyone was speechless, including Kevin."Mum, why me". Kevin pouted and said, but Rhea just hissed at him."We are finally in laws". Frank said to Luke, so they both walked t
In the company, only the executives and a handful of people knew what she looked like because she was not easily seen.She could count how many times with her finger she has used the general door because she prefers using her private elevator which was exclusive to her, Lisa and her parents.As she approached the entrance, she could feel the eyes of her employees on her, they quickly hushed their conversation as they straightened up in their seats.Those who didn't know her were still busy cracking jokes and making fun of themselves, so they failed to see the signal which the receptionist was giving her.August stared across the open space, her expression stern and aloof, her heels clicked on the tiled floor when she worked with her beautiful dress."Woah, who is that goddess". A male employee said and drew the attention of the rest.Those who knew August were surprised to see her dressed like this, because she was mostly dressed in a suit when coming to work.August pursed her lips a
August walked into her office, expecting to find it empty, but rather , she was shocked to see Lisa sorting out the files which she came to the office to do.Lisa who was so concentrated on her work was startled when she heard the sound of the door opening.She was surprised to see August staring at her with wide eyes"Woah, what are you doing here for god sake? You're supposed to be with your newly wedded husband!" Lisa said and laughed.August stared at Lisa’s funny face and giggled.Nothing babes, I came to work. Besides you know we ditched work yesterday and there is so much to cover up.August dropped her bag on the couch and said“Ok darling, you can just sit and watch me while I do the work, after all my typing skill is top notch “. Lisa said and started typing on her keyboard fastly.August laughed and tossed a throw pillow at Lisa, who smoothly dodged it and continued working. "Hey, my typing skills are fucking good! You're just jealous because you can't keep up with my fast
It was clocking two when Kent called August.August was sleeping, so Lisa stood up and took the phone from her bag, when she saw the cheesy name on the screen, she giggled and stared at August innocent face.She sat down on the small space on the couch and tapped August's shoulder.August groaned sleepily, but she didn’t wake up because she was really exhausted.“Babe, your hubby is calling you”. Lisa whispered into her ear.August frowned and turned her face, “so noisy”. She said,Lisa could see that her friend was in a deep sleep, so she didn’t have any choice than to pick the call.Immediately she picked the call, she heard his cheesy voice, “Wifey”.Lisa coughed, ”uhm sorry Kent, it’s Lisa”. She said,Kent asked immediately in a cold voice, “Where is my wife? “She’s here, but she is deep asleep “. Lisa said.“Have you tried to wake her up? He asked.“Yes, unfortunately it didn’t work. I will suggest you come here yourself to do the waking because I can see that she is not ready t
Kent followed the middle-aged man through the buildings, he noticed that her building was empty and her secretaries had their own separate office.“Impressive “. He murmured to himself. They finally arrived at a door with a nameplate that read " CEO August Office". The man gestured for Kent to enter, Kent nodded his head, turned the handle, he found that the door was unlocked, so he pushed it open and stepped inside.He noticed that his wife's office was more like his own. It was painted gray, with a white chair to go with it.He nodded his head with his wife's choice of aesthetic.As he entered the office, Kent was amused by the eerie silence. The office was dimly lit, with only a few rays of light that came through the blinds, which was Lisa’s handwork.Lisa saw that August was deeply asleep, so she decided to dim the light so August could sleep well.Kent looked around, his gaze finally falling upon the couch in the center of the office, where he saw his beautiful wife, sleeping
Kent got a message from his brother about the attack he experienced days ago.He was so mad that his vein popped out. He was about to call his brother when the door was open.He looked up and saw Lisa entering the office with a smile.Lisa stared at Kent who looked so frightening now and stepped back a little.She thought about leaving the office, but she felt embarrassed,so she just walked to August and tried to tap her when she was stopped by a cold voice.“Don’t wake her up”. He said coldly.Although Lisa was scared, she still stared at him and said, “I think you should carry her, because she won’t be waking up anytime soon”.“And how do you know that? Kent asked.“Well that is August for you”. Lisa said and shrugged her shoulders.Kent nodded his head and quickly texted his brother .He stood up from the couch and walked to her side.When he got there, he bent down and picked her up. As he stood up, August snuggled deeper into his embrace, but she was uncomfortable.Kent noticed i
"I'm so happy we did this together," August said. "Me too!" Lisa agreed. "It's been an unforgettable experience “. Just then, Lisa stared at her cute godson and said, "Micheal is so well behaved! I'm amazed he didn't cry during the wedding." Jenny laughed and replied, "I know, right? I was worried he would disrupt the ceremony, but he was an angel." August chuckled, "I think he knew it was a special day. He sensed everyone's happiness.” "That's so true! Babies pick up on energy. You must have done something right, Jenny." Lusa said with laughter. Jenny smiled and said in a low voice, "Just lots of prep and luck, I think! We had a quiet moment before the ceremony, and Kevin sang to him." August giggled as she said, "Aww, that's sweet! Kevin's got a soothing voice." "And Micheal loves his daddy's voice. No wonder he was calm." Lisa added. Jenny said as she laughed "Exactly! Kevin's been singing to him since birth. It's their special bond”. Meanwhile, Micheal noticed that they
Months later, the news of the five business men who were getting married at the same time, day and venue shocked everyone.The comments under the news was much.“Oh my God, what a huge news”. A lady said .“OMG, what a shock! Five business tycoons getting married on the same day? This is insane! Another lady said.“I know, right? And at the same venue? Talk about a power move. A young man said“But who are the lucky ladies? Anyone know? A lady asked.“According to sources, the grooms are Kent, Anthony, Kevin, Eric, and Luke. And the brides are August, Lisa, Jenny, Anita, and Rosa”. A lady answered the question.“Aww, I love a good love story! Can't wait to see the wedding pics”. A young lady gushed out.“ Omg, I'm dying to know more about these couples! Are they all friends? How did they meet? “Rumor has it, they are all connected through family ties. And the wedding is going to be a lavish, high-security affair”.“ As a wedding planner, I'm intrigued! Five weddings at once? Logistic
Meanwhile, Frank and Luke joined Kent and Anthony inside the warehouse.Kent confronted Victor in the warehouse, his anger simmering. Just as Victor was about to speak, Luke and Frank entered."Dad, what are you doing here?" Kent called out and asked, surprised.Luke chuckled, his eyes twinkling and said. "You thought we wouldn't know what's happening in your lives, boy?"Eric explained, "We didn't want to stress you, Uncle. We had it under control."Frank waved his hand, dismissing their concerns. "Don't worry about it, boy. We rushed over as soon as we heard."Luke's gaze locked onto Victor, his smirk growing. "Look who decided to show up."Frank nodded, sharing Luke's amusement. "Thought you could hide from us?"Victor's face twisted in anger, his fists clenched.Luke's tone turned cold, his voice dripping with disdain. "You are stupid to think your plan would work. Don't you know we own this territory? Nothing escapes us."Frank added, as he chuckled, "Your every move was monitor
Inside the dimly lit, abandoned warehouse, Leon's smirk grew wider as he gazed at August and Lisa, who were still unconscious and vulnerable. "Finally, I have got you," he gloated, his voice dripping with malice.His gaze shifted to Trisha, who stood nearby,with her arms crossed. He chuckled, a cold, mirthless sound and said, "Thanks, you are excused," he said, waving his hand dismissively.Trisha's expression immediately darkened and her voice turned icy. "I'm not going anywhere. I want to watch the fun."She settled into a worn wooden chair, while staring at Lisa and August.Leon shrugged his shoulders indifferently and said. "Suit yourself."He signaled the burly men, who nodded and began securing August and Lisa with ropes. Next, Leon pulled out his phone and dialed a number. The ringtone echoed through the warehouse."It's done," he announced, his voice low and triumphant."Alright, we will be there soon," a voice replied.Leon ended the call, his smile growing. He pocketed hi
As they walked, August heard Lisa's happy voice. "I can't believe I will be a godmother to my two favorite babies." She said referring to Jenny and August's baby.August chuckled and smiled, she was eager to share the news with Kent. She couldn't wait to see the excitement on his face.Upon arriving at the restroom, they noticed it was empty and somewhat lonely, but they didn't think much of it. Hospitals could be quiet sometimes.After finishing, they bumped into Trisha, who gave them an eerie smile."Wow... who do we have here?" Trisha said, clapping her hands together, her eyes glinting with malice.August and Lisa, not in the mood for conversation, hissed and tried to leave. They sensed something off about Trisha's demeanor."Stop there!" Trisha commanded angrily when they ignored her.She clapped her hands again, summoning three bulky men from the shadows.August and Lisa exchanged worried glances as they sensed danger."What do you want?" August asked coldly."I want you both,
A month after meticulously planning his revenge, Leon set out to execute it. As he stood under the shower as water dripped out from his body. He smirked evilly as he recalled his sinister plan he was about to do.Weeks ago, he had discovered that Kent had purchased the company for his brother, fueling Leon's anger and determination. The memory of being humiliated still burned within him, so he vowed to make them pay for his misfortune.After his shower, He wrapped a towel around his waist and stepped out of the bedroom. His eyes scanned his room as he grabbed his phone from the bed and dialed Trisha's number.Certain areas were off limits to him as a man, so he needed Trisha's help. He knew her animosity toward August and Lisa will make her the perfect ally. Leon knew Trisha's hatred ran deep, so he intended to exploit it.Trisha answered on the first ring. "Hey, Leon. What's up?" she asked."I need your help," Leon replied with a low voice.“What could that be?”. She asked him w
"Mom!" August exclaimed, rushing to Rosa and Rhea, her voice filled with excitement."Aunty," she greeted Christy, Jenny's mom, with a warm hug."My child, how are you? Is Kent treating you well?" Rhea asked, her eyes filled with love.August blushed. "Yes, mum. He's amazing."Rhea smiled, patting August's hand. "That's good”.Just then Anthony, who had been itching to hear the news, spoke up, "Now that we are all here, Kevin, give us the news."Christabel added, "Yes, we are eager to know. What's going on with Jenny?"Only God how worried she was when she received a call from Lisa.She immediately left what she was doing and dragged her husband to the hospital but before that, she called her friends who also dragged their husbands. “Uhmmm”. Kevin said as he scratched his head, he looked at his parents who were staring at him and gulped his saliva.“Would they kill him if they knew he impregnated Jenny without marrying her? He asked himself as he was still afraid of their questions e
Kevin woke up to a disturbing sound coming from the toilet. Groggily, he opened his eyes and stretched his arm, as he looked at the empty space beside him. That's when he remembered the noise. Concern etched on his face,so he quickly threw off the covers and rushed to the toilet.When he got there, what he saw shocked him. Jenny was squatting on the floor while vomiting uncontrollably. He looked at her and noticed that she was really weak as her body convulsed anytime she vomited. "Babe!" Kevin exclaimed as he rushed to her side. He knelt beside her, holding her hair back.Jenny didn't respond as her eyes were closed. She was lost in her misery, so she was unable to speak.When he saw that she didn’t respond, his worry intensified. He had never seen her like this before, so he gently rubbed her back, as he tried to comfort her."We need to get you to the hospital," he urged her, as his voice was laced with concern.Jenny nodded feebly, her eyes still closed. She almost blacked out,
As Kent entered their bedroom, he gently laid August down, removing her shoes, clothes and accessories before covering her with a blanket.He went to the closet and brought out a simple wear with a face wipes which he used in cleaning her makeup. After dressing her, she stirred softly , as her eyes opened."Kent?" she whispered and called out."I'm here, baby," Kent replied, sitting beside her.Just then, the butler knocked softly on the door. "Sir, I have prepared the soup. Shall I bring it in?Kent nodded his head and answered. "Yes, thank you, Uncle."The butler entered with a tray, bearing a steaming bowl of soup and fresh fruit.August's eyes lit up. "Food."Kent smiled. "Eat up, baby." He said as he placed it on the table.As August ate, Kent watched, ensuring she finished every bite.When she finished, August yawned."Tired," she whispered and yawned again.Kent tucked her in. "Sleep, baby. I will be here."August's eyes closed, and Kent sat beside her, holding her hand.The bu
