"How dare you!" Leon spat, his voice trembling.August smirked and said. "How dare we? How dare you, Leon, think you are worthy of respect after your pathetic display?"Lisa chimed in, and said with a smile on her face. "Uhmm poor boy, are you angry that August's upgraded to luxury, and you are still stuck in the dumpster?." She asked him.Leon could not refute her words because he knew she was right. August was the CEO of a big company whereas he was just the CEO of a struggling company.The onlookers watched in stunned silence, their faces reflecting shock and discomfort. Some looked away, embarrassed for Leon.August continued as she said in a sarcastic voice, “Just don't get your hopes too high, because you were a laughable mistake."Lisa nodded her head quickly as she added, her words razor-sharp. "A mistake that's been corrected, thankfully. August's moved on to better things, and you are still stuck in the past."Leon's anger boiled over, but his words were lost in the battle o
The crowd stared at Kent in shock, as they wondered why he stepped in."Perhaps he's a hero who saved the damsel," a lady whispered, her eyes wide with wonder."A true knight in shining armor," another added, nodding in agreement.Just as they were murmuring, Kent walked to August's side, bent down, and pecked her on the lips. "Sorry, wifey, for coming late," he said with a soft smile.The hall fell silent, with all eyes fixed on the couple as gasps and whispers filled the air."Did he just say 'wifey,' as in wife?" a middle-aged man asked in disbelief."Oh my God! This is huge!" a lady exclaimed, her hand flying to her mouth. "August is married to him? Kent?"A middle-aged man patted his chest in relief and said, "Thank God I didn't offend her in any way. I would have lost my company right now.""I know, right?" another guest chimed in. "August's reputation was already formidable and now she’s married to Kent.”"Their influence in the business world is unmatched," someone added. "To
August, who was bored, signaled Lisa who started talking, “There’s no need for all the tears, beside I’m not hitting you”. She said because she was already pissed off with the amount of tears they were bringing out.Benita and Betty quickly blushed in embarrassment as they bow their heads.Meanwhile Anthony and Mark who just came were trying so hard to control their laugh.“Anyways, your apology is accepted. Mind you, it’s not because I forgive you but because I’m already getting tiited from your tears. Damn looks like there’s a dam in your eyes, because to be able to bring this amount of tears in a go is really amazing”. Lisa said in a bored manner, but her words made everyone laugh.She stared at the remaining security and said coldly, “escort them out”. Betty and Benita were escorted out from the event amidst their protest and hateful glance.Finally, the hall regains its silence.Meanwhile, Philipwho hasn’t spoken a word since Kent came in finally came back to his senses.He was
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
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,
"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
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
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,
