Brandon held a glass of wine as he stood at the balcony. He was thinking about the marriage stuff and all."Sir, your phone is ringing" The guard ran in."Who's calling?" He asked without looking at the guard."Your girlfriend, sir" The guard replied."Tell her I left the phone at home, that she should try my other lines" He ordered."Okay sir" The guard did as Brandon had said."Get me one of my phones, I want to call dad" Brandon said and the gua
"That's not the only reason. I want our company to grow, imagine what Alexander company and Brandon industries would look like after merging" she said and smiled."In case you don't know, we will have more investors and gain more profit and then our company might be one of the best in France" Beatrice explained."You have the chance to end it now, if you don't grab it now, you will have your self to blame" He threatened."Will you accept the offer?" He asked, again."Nooooooo" she replied, stressing the "o""You are behaving stubborn but deep down you aren't" he said and she only smiled. After few minutes of silence, they returned."Did you guys have fun?" Mr Alexander asked as he walked in. They all sat down."Yes, dad" she replied."So we have a plan to make people think you actually love each other" Mr Emerson said"why do we need to impress the people? " Beatrice asked."Because the investors won't agree if they f
"De...." Rina paused, she didn't know the complete words. "De rien (You are welcome)" Beatrice completed for her. "You didn't grow up in France, did you?" Beatrice asked her. "Thank you, I came here few months ago" Rina said. "It obvious" Beatrice said and they both laughed. "This gown is going to look good on you, try it on" Rina handed the gown over to her. "Alright" Beatrice took the gown from her and went into the dressing room to change and few minutes later, she came out. "Wow! Bea you are look so beautiful" Mrs Helen complimented her. "The gown look nice on you ma" Rina also complimented. "Thanks" Beatrice replied. "Am taking this gown" She said and Rina gave her a thumbs up. ****** "Brandon, if this is her picture then I must say you are so lucky" Brandon's friend, Derrick said. "Am I not handsome? Hundreds of girls are willing to be with me and you are saying am lucky" Brandon yelled at him. "Don't forget you are going on a date and stop yelling at me"
Cheating?" Beatrice scoffed."You are not my boyfriend and I am not your girlfriend, to cut the long story short, you are my ex and in case you are wondering how I became a girlfriend of such celebrity, the truth is that he saw the beauty in me and he fell in love with it. You won't know the value of a thing Zach, until you lose it" Beatrice angrily stated and hung up on him. She went back inside and saw that Brandon had ordered something."Thank you" She suddenly said and he lifted his head upwards and stared at her."For what?" He hoarsely ask."For putting that lady in her place" she replied."I didn't do it for you.... It's a shame for the lady am with, to be addressed as a slut. Don't feel special" He said and she boiled in anger, but she kept her cool because it's a public place.Beatrice ordered her food and they both ate in silence, Beatrice lifted her head to get a glimpse of Brandon face and she saw him staring at her. She felt
Beatrice sat in the bathtub thinking of last week event, it has been one week since the date and her name has been ringing in everyone's mouth.The lady with Brandon Emerson!Should she strike a deal with a Playboy or get married to him? What if he changes his mind after the deal? What if he sees her as a slut after the deal?Getting married to Brandon is one thing she couldn't do, it's every ladies dream but why was hers different?Her life is like a mess, she's being forced to marry someone she doesn't love and she also hasn't heard from her best friend since one week.She came out of the bathtub and tied a towel around her body, from her chest downwards to her thigh.She picked up her phone and dialled Michelle's number but it wasn't going through."What could possibly be wrong with her? Should I pay her a visit?" Beatrice thought as she dropped the phone on her bed.After some minutes of
Beatrice didn't leave, she felt tears rolling down her cheeks.Who did he think he was to judge her? No one is perfect, then why was he acting as if he his perfect? It wasn't her fault she slept with a stranger on a party, it wasn't!She sobbed and stood up, she walked out of the room and didn't know where to search for him, she didn't know what to do at that moment.She walked about the house looking for him, she was looking for him to ask him of her car. She came across a lady who was dressed in a maid uniform."Excuse me, where is Brandon's room" She asked the lady."You mean Sir Brandon?" The lady asked and Beatrice rolled her eyes before nodding in reply."Just head straight, and turn left, the first room there is his" She described."Merci!" Beatrice appreciated with a smile."Please always knock before opening his door" She said and walked away.Beatrice knew what she meant, she walked to the
He picked his phone and called his assistant."Michelle Davenport, i want her fired and get her kicked out in the next five minutes" He said on the phone and Beatrice eyes widened in shock."But Sir she's one of the best workers in this company... It's rare to find such these days" The assistant said."Would you like to get fired instead of her?" Mr Alexander asked and the assistant regretted saying such."Am sorry sir, will do that right away" The assistant replied and hung up.Beatrice throat suddenly went dried, she swallowed hard and stared at her dad."If Michelle should get fired now, then she would think it's because of the little argument we had....She's going to feel bad" Beatrice said in her mind.She quickly rushed to her dad and knelt down in front of him."Please dad, don't do this" She pleaded and held his legs."You pushed me, Beatrice" He replied without even looking at her.
Beatrice got home and the first person she saw was Tina, who was also driving in. She was coming back from school.She waited for Tina to step out of the car, before approaching her."Good afternoon Beatrice" Tina greeted her."Tina, how was class today" Beatrice asked. She was trying to be the perfect sister because she wanted to ask Tina for a favor."It was so sweet" Tina giggled happily."Well, how was your day... Did you get to see Brandon today, he's so cute...remember the day he came here, i felt like staring into his handsome face forever"Beatrice stared at Tina as she was daydreaming. Tina was asking about her day; her day was the perfect definition of stress."Not even you....Are you having feelings for your sister's husband to be" Beatrice asked. She started regretting why she said the part of "Husband to be", was she really calling him her husband?."Am not having feelings for him...for example" She
Mia, Cade and Trisha were watching a movie in the sitting room, when all of a sudden Trisha stood up."I will be back aunt, I need to go see mum. I want to talk to her" Trisha informed."Okay, pretty" Mia said and Trisha walked away. She moved her gaze from the TV to stare at Cade."Hmm, are you okay?" She asked when she noticed his mood."I don't know" Cade muttered and ruffled his hair.Mia bit her lips, she stood from where she was sitting and went to sit on the couch Cade was sitting.She took his hands on hers and then stared at him."Talk to me" She urged."Even if it would hurt you?" He asked and Mia didn't know when she let go of his hands."What? How is it going to hurt me?" She asked curiously."I am thinking about her" He replied."Who? Your girlfriend?"."She ended it all, she broke up with me... I feel I am destined to be heartbroken always" He didn't let the te
Michael wasn't planning to shoot her, he just wanted to make her scared.Even if he wanted to get rid of her, he won't do it in the hotel where it would raise suspicions.The door opened in a loud bang and federal agents rushed in. They were more than ten.Micheal quickly brought the gun he was pointing at her head. He was literally surprised to see those agents. Why did they come?.He was still questioning himself when he saw Sarah and Clark admist the agents."I am sorry, dad" Sarah muttered to him with tears in her eyes.The agents all pointed their gun at him and surrounded him.It was now making sense to Micheal."We have been ordered to bring you to Italy,,, you have to come with us" One of them said.Micheal became dumbfounded. There was no way out.He kept the gun on the floor and lifted his hands up. He cast a glare at Mirabel, then at Sarah.&n
Beatrice angrily walked into the house. She had gone to Mr Emerson's house and the agents scanned her before allowing her in.Some of them couldn't help but wonder what was going on with her,,,because the way she walking was as if she was going for a war.She walked into the sitting room and there she met him reading a book."Whatever business you have with your brother, settle it and free us from his threats!" She said, with so much anger in her voice.Mr Emerson dropped the book on the table, and gave her his attention.The security guards had already informed him about her arrival.His brother?For a moment he was taken aback,,,how did she find out?"Calm down, Beatrice" He said calmly."So everything that happened is because of you, you are responsible for all our misfortunes" She yelled."How did you come to know about it?" He asked."That doesn't matter, all t
Beatrice came out of the bathroom and didn't see Brandon in the room.She had changed into one of Brandon's bathrobe and a towel was tied around her hair. She sat on the bed and started thinking."I don't know if I am making the right choice right now, like seriously did I do the right thing forgiving him?Well, it wasn't his fault tho, it absolutely wasn't. I am afraid the person who framed me might do something bad now that we are back together, and also I am curious to know what Brandon's dad is hiding. I should probably call him"She searched around and didn't see her phone, that was when it dawned on her that she had forgotten it in Brandon's car."And where on earth is Brandon" She muttered and stood up.She walked to the door and held the handle, she was about opening it when it opened and Brandon walked in."Speak of the devil, here you are".Brandon smiled, he walked in
A goodbye kiss" She repeated."I don't understand...Are you leaving or something, did I offend you, are you angry because I pretended to..." Brandon was so anxious."No, Brandon. It's just that I can't stay here, I can't be with you,,,at least not now" She told him, the last part was muttered to herself, she could only hear it."But why? I already apologised, I know i was a dickhead but I have changed, I will do my best to make you and Trisha happy, just don't leave" He begged."Your dad, he...Actually he told me not to tell you this, but I think you should know. I overheard him talking to someone on the phone, he said..." She paused, she didn't think it was right to say it because she had made a promise not to tell anyone."He said what?" Brandon asked curiously."Nothing, afterall a promise is a promise. But you should be careful out there, and please take care of yourself. I don't want my daughter to become fatherless"."That
Pearl got to the hotel, she walked into the room and there she saw him waiting for her, he was standing near the window, staring at space."Bonjour" She greeted and bowed.Michael turned, he stared at her and smile."How loyal you are to come immediately I called, I am impressed" He said to her."My pleasure" Pearl replied."You must be wondering why I suddenly called, right?"."Is it obvious" Pearl chuckled."Very. Now listen, I want you to do something for me... Whenever you are going anywhere with Mr Emerson, please always text me the address of where you are going to, especially if it deals with business meetings" He explained."May I ask the reason?"."I am afraid not"."Then I can't and won't. It's my job to protect him, not to share his location to people"."Are you going against my order?" Micheal frowned."Of course not, it's just that I can't. At least tell me a good reason, or go mee
People didn't expect to see the CEO kneel on the floor, they didn't.Brandon didn't want to give up, he loved her so much and was ready to do anything to earn her forgiveness.So when she didn't want to reply him, he went down on his knees."I just want to hear it from you that you've forgiven me" He muttered."This is serious...What is going on...Why is he kneeling before her?...Did he offend her...I can't just believe this...The lady is so lucky, it is normally hard for celebrities to do this in public..." Comments were heard and cameras were clicking. Beatrice blinked her lashes so fast, she didn't expect him to behave that way."Brandon, this is...this is embarrassing" She said to him."I am willing to get embarrassed, please forgive me" He begged, tears came out of his eyes.It was so emotional that some fans didn't know when tears came out of their eyes.Trisha wiped her tears with her palm
Mirabel stood at a distance and watched how Mrs Helen and her husband drove into the compound."I can do this" She muttered and walked towards the gate and pressed the bell button.The entrance gate opened and the security man walked out."Looking for someone?" He asked her."Just tell them Mirabel is here" She told the man."But...okay" The man walked inside and later returned to open the gate for her.Mirabel was allowed in, she was directed to the sitting room and there she met them."This unexpected visit of yours is actually scaring me. Why have you come back?" Mrs Helen asked."I see you are now better. Beatrice is just so dumb that she didn't ask herself why her blood didn't match with yours, I guess it's for the better" Mirabel said and smiled."So you have been spying on us?" Mr Alexander asked, with his brows furrowed."You video called me two days ago but you didn't tell me you will come visiting"
Mummy what are you talking about? we have to go meet daddy, he's hurt."Beatrice ignored Trisha's words, she kept the passport in her bag and closed her laptop.She was still arranging some stuffs when the door suddenly opened.Two ladies walked in, they were dressed in suit."Who are you" Beatrice asked them, she quickly dragged Trisha closer to her."I am agent Pearl" One of them introduced. "We don't want to waste your time, so let's get straight to the point. Mr Emerson sent us to bring you and your daughter to him" She told Beatrice."Didn't he tell you the reason?" Beatrice further asked."According to what just happened to his son, he wants to make sure you are both okay, that's what he told us. Please come with us, we have no time" The other lady replied.Beatrice thought for a while, she knew it wasn't right to trust the ladies in front of her; what if they were kidnappers or imp
