“Maverick, don't be so mean. I told you I don't want to go,” Whitney answered with a sleepy tone as she tossed on the bed. Maverick checked his time and gently pat her again so she can stand up and get ready. “Do you know you sleep like a log of wood? You were snoring so loudly that you didn't hear when Lena came in to pick up Tia. Now the little princess is all dressed and ready for work. It's an only mommy that's delaying,” he told her. Whitney groaned, “What the heck is wrong with you? I told you I'm not going. It's not by force so let me be. Did you even have to tell me I sleep like a log of wood?” “Okay, I'm sorry so will you stand up now? I'm running late for my meeting. Also once you finish, come and have your breakfast so you can take your drugs,” he answered and quickly turned his wheelchair around to leave the room. He didn't even give her any time to reply. Whitney groaned as she finally stood up from the bed and walked to the bathroom grumpily. By the time she gi
Mr Winston paused as he heard the popular street. Isn't that where Madon's company is located making the street popular? “Then dispatch your men to look for her immediately. Once you find her, don't let her go. Just bring her here to me. I need to teach that little snitch a lesson about family values,” Mr Winston said to the phone with a spiteful look. “Yes sir, we understand sir,” the man answered quickly and cut the call. Mr Winston stared into space as he thought of something.*** “Sir... Sir... Are you there sir? We already got her location,” the man spoke into the phone clearing the remaining traces of sleep in Karl's eyes. He immediately sat up on the bed and gripped the phone tightly. “What location?” he asked the man. “Sir, it is about the lady you asked us to trace. We found her location. She is currently at Allen's avenue. Somewhere close to Madon's company,” the man answered his boss. Karl thought of it. Did she go there to search for a job? Where has she been all th
“Take your drugs. You didn't think I noticed, right?,” Maverick told her with a smirk and she pouted.“But you promised me chocolates then why are you giving me the bitter drugs now?” she asked, feeling slightly annoyed with the way he was behaving.He smiled and answered, “Take your drugs first. Then you will get the chocolates.”She pouted. This is so not fair. How could he dupe her like this? When did he even pick up the drugs? Was this Ann's idea? she swore that if it's really Ann's idea, she will pay for this when next they meet.“C'mon Whitney, take the drugs so you can be fine again and I can kiss you freely,” He told her. He said the shameless words without even feeling embarrassed or ashamed to say it.Whitney resisted the urge to step on his legs. But instead, she collected the glass of water he was holding and began to take her drugs one after the other.As soon as she finished, she made a gagging sound as she tried not to vomit what she has just taken.Maverick smiled and
“Please find the location of the person whose picture I'll send to you now,” Maverick said into the phone. The man on the other side of the phone chuckled.“Cousin, which lady are you chasing now? Have Amber's memories faded so quick?” the guy asked and Maverick looked at his phone wishing he could go through the phone and slap the guy. If only he could slap back the sense into his head.Maverick smirked and just replied, “You are such a fool. If you don't come to my office right now and bring your hacking devices, I'll freeze your account.”The man on the other side was taking a bite of his KFC chicken when he heard what his cousin said and he almost choked. He quickly cut the call and picked up all the things he needed before rushing to Madon's company.If his cousin freezes his account like he just threatened, he will have no choice but to go back. And he is not ready to go back to that conceited, selfish, cunning, and cruel family.His heart contracts painfully every day cause he
Mr Winston slapped her again and again until she began to bleed. I mean blood starts to come out of her mouth. Whitney winced in pain. They tied her up to a chair so she can't even move or struggle.She looked up and saw her mother standing just a few meters away. “Mom,” she called out quietly trying not to wince at the pain the movement caused to her mouth. Her mother only glared at her.“You don't have the right to call me mom,” she said to her and those words pricked Whitney's heart painfully. She only looked at her mother with tears in her eyes.“Why?” she asked. “Cause you are not and will never be my daughter. Wench!,” Mrs. Winston shouted at her.A teardrop painfully escaped as she heard what the woman she has always called her mother say. Mr. Winston glared at his wife and said, “Was it necessary to say that?”“Yes, it is. I'm tired of hiding the truth. Let this bastard know where she belongs,” Mrs. Winston replied and Gia looked at them.Does this mean that this b*tch isn't e
“Then call her to come downstairs. Do you expect me to go and search for her myself,” Maverick told Mr. Winston. Mr. Winston gulped in fear before he turned around and walked upstairs slowly.Maverick told his bodyguards, “One or two of you should follow him. I don't trust him.” They nodded and hurriedly followed Mr. Winston. By the time they came back, Mr. Winston couldn't say anything as he stood far away.One of the bodyguards was carrying Whitney as she already passed out. Marks of the tight rope could be seen on her body. Her face was swollen with dried blood on one of her cheeks and there was blisters mark on her legs.Maverick stretched his hands towards the bodyguard and he handed Whitney over to him. He cradled her in his arms and stroked her cheeks. It still felt wet like she had cried. Her cheeks were all swollen so painfully.He looked up, his eyes were red in anger. “Who did this to her?” he asked slowly and dangerously cold.Gia's jaw already slackened with surprise when
“Boss, I bought the shares. Fifty to be precise. Within eighteen seconds sir,” the man said as he called Maverick. Maverick smirked and looked at Whitney.“I suddenly feel greedy. Buy the remaining shares and kick out the current CEO. They have to pay for what they have done,” Maverick replied.The man wanted to ask, 'Boss, what did they do to you?' but he swallowed his words. No one dared to question the boss. “I'm on it, sir. I'll give you feedback,” the man answered before cutting the call.He sighed and looked at his laptop as soon as he cut the call. This is gonna be difficult. Cause the remaining shares are in possession of the current CEO. How on earth will he convince the owner of the company to sell his shares?He doesn't know why his boss has such a quite exquisite and difficult taste. Why does he even suddenly have an interest in this small company?********Maverick looked at Whitney as soon as he cut the call. He stroked her cheeks and mumbled to her, “You should have wait
He looks like he was deeply in thought when he asked her.He was also looking down when he asked. “I don't like the way they treated you. If you marry me, I can provide all the security, protection, and finances that you need. You won't have to worry about them retaliating anymore...,” he continued mumbling to himself like he was practicing how to ask her when she woke up. Whitney smiled when she heard him mumbling to himself. She had been awake since, even when Ann was here. But since she hates that woman so much, she acted like she was asleep.She opened her mouth to say something but nothing came out. She closed her mouth back in pain. Her cheeks ache a lot. She can't even talk out of pain.But she wanted to ask him, Why? Why does he want to marry her? Why is he being so nice to her? So nice that it was way terrifying. She was just a stranger to him. Why is he acting so kind? She is just his employee, shouldn't he treat her just like Tia's nanny? Her eyes revealed a cold glint a
Owen sat impatiently on a chair as he kept on calling Zoey's number but it was not reachable.He kept on trying but it was not reachable. After the doctor informed them about Gia's health he got angry more. He was waiting for her to wake up so that he can't hurt her and say hurtful things to her just like he did to Whitney but he can't.She already lost her mind even if he did she won't understand what he is talking about.He wanted to have his money back and get the company back from Alex. He has the hope that he will get Janiece back once he does that.But Miss Zoey's number is not reachable, he checked the address on the business card and decided to go to her maybe something is wrong with her phone.When he got to the address he saw nothing there. There was no sign of a company."Excuse me, sir?" He stopped a passerby. "Yes, Mister" the woman answered."Was there a company here named Zoey?" He asked. " We don't have a company in this neighborhood" she replied.After noticing his e
Alex stared at the report in his hand with his mouth wide open. His suspicion was right, Asher is his son.He returned the DNA test to the brown envelope and walked out of his office.He went to Karl's company and took Alice out, he was able to do that because it was her lunchtime."You have been staring at me for a while now and I think my body must have tons of holes" Alice joked as she felt uncomfortable with his stares.He stood up and walked to her side, he knelt and Alice's heart started beating so fast, she thought he was going to propose but he did the unexpected.He dropped a brown envelope on the table beside her food. "Read it," he said and she took it with fear.She opened it and saw it as a DNA test, she didn't check the name and just saw positive."Whose DNA test is this? Did you find one of your family? Is it a sibling?" She asked." Do you remember my strange questions about Asher's father?" He asked and she nodded." I am the monster who raped you. I am the monster wh
"That's not it, I just want to know if you hate him," he said. " I don't I'm just mad at him for not waiting until I woke up, I want to ask him why he did what he did" she replied truthfully"So if he apologizes will you forgive him?" He asked, " it's hard to decide but I don't want to think about it. Why are you asking such an impossible thing? "She wondered." How sure are you that it is impossible?" He asked and she chuckled, " he didn't show up for the past six years, you think he will show up now? I doubt it" she chuckled." Alice remember that I just want you to be happy," he saidThere was a brief silence. Alice was confused about why Alex is suddenly talking like that. Is something wrong?Is he giving up on her? She doesn't think she will ever find anyone who will treat her the same way he did."What are you talking about? Are you leaving again?" She asked." If you find out the truth you might hate me," he said"I don't think I can ever hate you," she said. He shook his head a
"Are you in love with him?" He asked as his voice broke. The truth will hurt him, if Alice is really in love with Alex then there is no space for him in her heart.And it looks like he had successfully turned her against him judging from how angry she is right now."Answer me!" He demanded when she didn't say anything but just stared at him as tears ran down from her eyes."You have no right over me. I don't owe you an explanation of what I feel. So, you don't get to ask me any questions about who I love" she said." So you do love him," he said, "why do you care? Why do you make me feel like it's my fault when it is all yours!" She pointed at him." Why do you make me feel guilty for something you are responsible for!? Why are you punishing me, Owen? Why?" She asked as her tears became uncontrollable." What are you talking about?" He asked finding every word of her's confusing. "Really you are going to pretend to be clueless? Geez who am I kidding, what was I expecting? That you wou
The duvet was on the floor, and papers were torn on the floor too, he walked closer and saw her swollen eyes. Her hair was tattered as if she were insane. She looks like she hasn't bathed since the day she was born."What the f*ck is this Gia? Have you finally lost your mind?" He asked as he rushed to open the windows for good ventilation."Owen stop shouting! I told you not to shout at me, it will affect my baby" she said but it came out as a whisper.She started rubbing her stomach as she said, "she is the only option I have to get Karl back"" Hey look at me," he said as he squat in front of her, he wanted to let her go and run to the bathroom to puke but before he does that, he needs to knock some senses into her."Karl is gone, all you have is your baby and us. So stop acting like a spoilt brat and get your ass off the ground, take a bath and come downstairs for breakfast" he said before standing up " Why should I?" Gia asked, "because your family needs you. Mom is downstairs wa
He was in the same club as Alice that day if that is true, the mistake he made can't be with her right? "It's been long enough" she replied to his question and he gulped down. "Alex do you still have feelings for me?" She asked after noticing the way he looked at her. "What if I do?" He asked with a nervous chuckle. "I knew it," she said, " Let's go to my office" she added and he nodded before igniting the car. *** Cole sat in a restaurant waiting for the person that called him. He already sent a message that they should meet in a restaurant. He has been sitting for five minutes and she is not there yet, he stood up about to leave when a middle-aged woman walked in. She looked suspicious because she kept staring at the back to see if anyone is following her. Cole recognized immediately to be doctor Ann's mother, Mrs. Jane. But why is she here? She can't be the person that called him can she? She doesn't look like the type of person who would murder someone else. It has to be
"I did nothing wrong! All I did was for the sake of our family" he retorted. " Family? Family you say? You did it all got your selfish interest" he spat. " Don't speak to me in that manner Cole I am your father and everything I did was for your sake, our family's sake" he said "Stop saying that! Do you even know what family means? You killed your flesh and blood. Your brother and sister-in-law and you said it is for the good of the family? For which family? The one you murdered or the one you are about to murder?" He asked. " Don't judge me when you don't understand my decisions!" He yelled, "don't expect me to understand your decisions when you don't explain them!" He yelled back too. They glared at each other for a while before Cole said, "don't bother explaining because no explanation can justify a murder" " I am not here to argue with you," he said in a calm tone, when are you returning home?" He asked. " I am not coming back to that hell you call a home" Cole spat. " You
Ann stared at nothing, it was not like she can see anything since it is dark. If she helps the big boss get rid of Whitney just like she got rid of Amber. She will finally be able to execute her plan.She will be beside Maverick whenever he's mourning. That was her original plan when she got rid of Amber but she couldn't do it because Maverick was affected and she felt guilty.She thought it was only Amber that will be in the car when the accident will happen and she will play the role of a good friend by consoling him.That was how she planned on winning his heart but everything changed when she found out Maverick was affected.But now she won't do something that will affect everyone else. She is going to do something that will affect just Whitney.But the big boss isn't after Whitney alone, he wants both Whitney and Maverick gone. She needs to do something so that Maverick won't be affected again.The last time he was lucky enough to just lose his leg, this time he might lose his li
"What did you just say?" Whitney asked as it felt like her ear was not functioning properly. "I said what if I married you because I love you?" He repeated the question and she smile nervously."Of course, it is a what if" she chuckled, awkwardly and he quickly corrected himself." I'm in love with you Whitney!" He blunted. "Stop pulling my legs, I never said I want you to tell me you love me," she said." I am not pulling your legs, I am seriously in love with you. I don't know if I was feeling it when I proposed or I didn't notice it but all I know right now is that I am insanely in love with you" he blunted." When did you start reading romance novels?" She asked and he frowned. Why is she talking about useless things when he is serious? "Whitney!" He frowned as she laughed covering her mouth and holding her stomach. "I am sorry if it sounds rude but you really looked like you memorized that line, and just decided to tell me, and after I will tell you how good your performance is
