"Just tell him it's Gia Winston, his sister-in-law," she said more like bragging. The secretary stared at her as if she said the wrong word.Of course, it sounds strange and weird to his secretary, she doesn't remember Amber having a sister. Yeah, she has been working for him for a while now.Even if it hasn't been a while, Maverick is a popular businessman, if you don't want to know about his story the reporters will write it.If you don't want to read it, it will be read to your ears, either on TV or radio. And if you turn it off, your friends or relatives will talk to you about it.If they don't, then forget about going to the market and other public places, three or four people will talk about it, now tell me, why won't someone know about Jasper's history?"Miss, are you listening to yourself?" She asked giving her the, Get yourself checked in the hospital look"Are you abusing me indirectly? Is that what you just did?" She scoffed "No ma'am, I just... " The secretary stopped ta
"Tia doesn't want you, return her to our mom," he said with his hands in akimbo. Ann stared at him trying to comprehend what he just said, she has been here since the beginning of time. Lady, are you Eve? Jimmy never once named her aunt and he is calling this b*tch mommy. This is unbelievable and unacceptable, she needs to do something. Not only as she bewitched Maverick, but has done so also to his son. " Hey!" He tapped her when she seems she wasn't listening to him, "lady is it your ear or your whole body? I said to give the baby to her mother, if I repeat myself you won't be lucky to drive your car home, you know why? You will have to ride in a police van" he threatened Ann quickly gave the baby to Whitney reluctantly. Whitney didn't mind her attitude and gladly collect the baby from her and in just a matter of seconds, Tia quieted down and started pulling Whitney's hair as she giggled. "Aww is my princess scared of strangers?" Whitney asked and the baby giggled. 'Stranger
Maverick smirked as he watched them search for the car through the CCTV. He sent a message to someone earlier to have the car towed. Owen will have to pay some amount of money before he can have his car back. Judging from the situation of their family, paying that money will be almost impossible. Owen ran his hand through his hair in frustration as he sat on the bare floor. "What are you doing?" Gia asked, "isn't it obvious? I am tired I don't know what to do anymore" he replied " If you parked the car here, who could have tampered with it? Where did they take it? Why will they choose to steal your car out of all the cars here? Your car is the least expensive" Gia said " I know which is exactly why I am worried, dad is going to kill me when he finds out" he sighed burying his face in his palm. " Owen," she called as her eyes caught something, "what is it? Can't you see that I am trying to think?" He groaned raising his head from his palms. " Come and take a look at this, it will
"why are you smiling? What's funny?" She asked glaring at him. "I am not, I just remembered what she told me and it sounded funny" he quickly replied. " What did you tell her?" Whitney asked " I told her how much I love my fiancee and I don't buy fake lies," he said "Good, she should really know her.... "She stopped talking and turn to face Maverick. "What did you say?" She inquired as she felt her heart beating so fast that she thought her chest is going to explode. "I didn't say anything" he said shaking his head. " You said something" she argued. "I didn't" he objected. "You did... I heard you say something" " What was it I said?" She arch her brows as she realized she didn't hear him properly or she did, she is just too shy to say the word. "What did you say was your reply to Gia's request?" She asked and he smirked before repeating what he said, " I told her how much I love my fiancee" Her cheeks turned red immediately as her eyes glittered like a Christmas light. He ju
Two hours earlier*** "Are you going to the office?" Whitney asked after observing Maverick for a moment, he was dressed in his suit. "Yes, why?" He inquired, "nothing, I was just asking" she replied. "Are you missing me already?" He teased, "you can come with me you know," he said " No! I don't want to be left alone again" she shook her head in sideways as a way of saying no, "huh? When did I leave you alone?" He asked massaging his forehead as he tried to remember. " The last time I was at your office, you told me the meeting won't take long but you were gone for good four hours" she reminded him. " That was.. " he stopped talking when he was short of words, "sorry" he muttered. "You should leave now I don't want you to be late because of me," she said and he chuckled. "Don't I deserve a goodbye kiss?" He asked touching his lips. It was Whitney's turn to chuckle, "see you later hubby" He groaned before leaving the room, while she packed her hair in bun before walking out of t
"Good bye sir" Janiece bid Karl as she packed her belongings. "Are you going?" He asked, "going where sir?" She asked "The wedding" he replied, " yes sir, and you?" She asks " I think I will pass," he said, Janiece bit her lower lip as she contemplate her thoughts. "Sir, I don't mean to pry into your private life but are you related to the bride?" She ask, " I noticed your reaction the other day you saw the invitation card" she added " You are quick-witted," he said and she chuckle nervously. " She's my ex, I don't think I deserve to be called her ex. She was just someone I wish I didn't let go" he concluded " Are you okay now? A few days after you saw the wedding invitation you weren't yourself" she stated " I'm fine, she deserves all the best she can get in life," he said and she nodded sadly. " First love hurts a lot," she said, sadly. "Yes, and we make a lot of mistakes" he added and she nodded in agreement. *** "Jimmy you heading home?" Asher asked a
Alex stood beside the window of his room lost in thought. He thought of nothing but Alice and his mom, he has lived for two decades but only those two women left a massive scar on his heart. He loved them both unconditionally and he still loves them, he emptied the cup of wine in his hand. Non-alcoholic, he stopped drinking alcohol about six years ago. He made a drunken mistake that he doesn't like to talk about. What's taking Maverick so long to reply to him? It has been days now. He is anxious and excited at the same time, he is anxious about how Alice will treat him when they meet again. Will she still want to be friends with him? Will she finally love him and choose him over Owen? Because this heart of his still beats for her. He is excited that he will be seeing the one and only woman that makes his heart flutter, that has the power to make him happy and at the same time sad. He swipe his phone to unlock it and checked if there were any messages from Maverick but there wer
The room was busy, it was filled with make-up artists and people obviously getting ready for the long-awaited wedding. Only Tia wasn't getting makeup done, she was sleeping by this time. After Lena dressed for her, she fell asleep again. Jimmy walked out of his room dressed in a white suit. Maverick noticed this and inquired, "why are you wearing a white suit? I thought we are going to wear blue" " I just wanted to have matching outfits with Mommy" he replied and Jimmy sat on the couch. Yeah, about the cute holes. Too bad for Jimmy he didn't get it, he checked his cheeks in the mirror that morning but nothing was on his cheeks. Surprisingly, he was not sad and he just let it go. "Why will you want to have a matching outfit with Whitney? What about me?" Jimmy asked with a pout. "Don't be a whining baby dad" he said and Maverick frowned. This son of his is really spoilt. How dare he tell his father not to be a whining baby? What has gotten into him? They use to be best of friends
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
