Rosaline walked into the Marks mansion, along with others. She had joined those selected to go serve Marks tonight. Finding a job as a pregnant woman was not easy. She had to come so that she could still keep her job."Good girl," Amira muttered with a mocking smile and patted Rosaline's back. Rosaline glared at her. But she waved her off like she doesn't matter. Once they all entered the mansion. Rosaline and others were given a uniform to change into. After putting on their uniform, they were assigned different positions. Rosaline was to serve the drinks to the guests. So she left the others, who were chattering, and walked off to her assigned post. These past two months Rosaline had made sure to rely on herself only. She distanced herself from everyone and did everything entirely by herself. She didn't attempt to make any friends. Her sole aim was to be able to cater for herself and her unborn child. The party hall was tastefully decorated, huge chandeliers hung on the ceilings.
Martha lay on the bed, in the arms of Robert. Both were engrossed in a discussion. She had succeeded in wiping her husband's memory, using the drug Alex Wright had given to her after she did his bidding. She is now Alex Wright's lover, she leaves the house and goes over to his, to spend time with him and also pleasure him. To her, she was completely in control of her life and that of her husband and son."I doubt Rosaline is really my child," Robert said."You would have to find that out from her dead mother," Martha said without care."That girl is a disgrace to this family. She was supposed to help grow the company through the help of the Mills. But what did she do? She threw away the opportunity and left to God knows where," Martha ranted just for show. Inside her, she was really happy that Rosaline was out of their lives."That girl is the black sheep of this family. I regret wasting my resources in training her. If I had known I would have given everything I spent in training her
NEXT MORNING Rosaline arrived at the Marks mansion, in high spirits. It was not often that one gets such a generous job offer. She had thought about it last night and had made up her mind not to have any double thoughts about her new job offer. It does not matter whether she was offered the job because of her pregnancy. All that matters is that she finally got a job that will be able to sustain her and her unborn child even after he is born. "You bring me lots of luck, honey," she said and rubbed her belly fondly.Just outside the mansion, Rosaline met Amira who was leaving the mansion in anger. She moved aside, so that angry Amira would walk out but Amira startled her by suddenly gripping her shoulders."You bitch, what did you tell Mr. Mark last night that made him fire me?" Amira fired in anger.At first, Rosaline had a look of surprise, but that look changed so quickly like it had not been there in the first place.She held Amira's hands and forcefully pulled them off her should
"What do you think you are doing?" He thundered."Mother," Rosaline muttered."Mother?" Clement asked in confusion.Rosaline did not say a word to him and continued tracing her hand on the photo."Young lady, you will have to leave my office, if you continue touching that photo," Clement warned.His words brought Rosaline's attention back to him."Why do you have my mum's photo?""Pardon?" Clement asked."No, the real question should be why is my mum in this photo?" Rosaline asked."Your mum?""Yes," Rosaline replied and pointed at the young lady in the photo. "That's Phoebe Robinson, my mother."For Clement, it was as if the earth stopped rotating. He could not believe that Phoebe's daughter, his granddaughter, was standing before him. He was speechless for over five minutes. He stared at Rosaline with moistened eyes."You..you are my Phoebe's daughter," he stammered."I can't believe this. Where is Phoebe?" He asked."She is dead," Rosaline replied.The sudden information about his
"Drop me off here. I will find my way home from here," Rosaline told Clement Mark. They were on their way back to the Marks mansion from the hospital."Won't you at least reach home first?" Clement asked.Home. Rosaline mumbled. This was just too sudden. She found it hard to believe that she had another family member other than her dad."No. Just drop me off," she finally replied.Clement sighed and ordered the driver to stop the car."You should come back to the mansion in two days, the DNA result will be out by then. I'm hoping the result will strengthen our bond."Rosalin did not bother to reply, she pulled the car door open and got out of the car.Clement watched her till she flagged down a cab and entered. Then he called his security guards who had been secretly following him the entire time. He ordered them to go after Rosaline to ensure that she gets home safely.Stanley watched Clement talk to the security guards on the phone. Once he put down the phone, Stanley asked."Why a
TWO DAYS LATER Alex Wright paced around his office, worry written all over his face."Why haven't they called me yet?" He wondered aloud. He tried calling the men he had sent to go after Rosaline, but none of them was answering. He lowered himself to his seat, with a worried expression. He had been trying to reach them for over two days, but it seemed like his men had disappeared into thin air, as they didn't answer his calls, which was odd to him."You sent for me," Martha, who had just entered the office, announced her presence.Alex Wright stared at her for some time."Strip," he ordered.Martha giggled like a kid and began to shed her clothes. Alex watched her do this. Whenever he was worried or in a bad mood, the only thing that seemed to take his mind off his worries was sex, and that was the reason he had sent for Martha."Get on the table," he ordered, on seeing that there was no piece of clothing left on Martha.Without being told twice, Martha excitedly climbed onto the ta
"I heard you disrupted the peace of my hospital, just to see me," Clement queried.He was on his way back home, to have a word with Rosaline's pursuers who were being held captive in the underground part of his mansion, when the head doctor of his hospital called to inform him of Frederick's presence in. The hospital, since none of them wanted to annoy or infuriate a billionaire. He ordered his driver to swerve the car around and head back to the hospital. Thus, here he was with Frederick, after returning to the hospital."I wanted to have a discussion with you," Frederick replied. Hitting the hammer of the nail."And what discussion do you want to have with me that made you barge into my hospital and cause a ruckus?" Clement asked."You are not supposed to speak in that manner. You and I know that time is gold to us businessmen. Did you expect me to just go back to Las Vegas without accomplishing my aim of coming here?" Frederick asked."Do well to enlighten me of your aim of coming
"Where are the legal documents? I told you I got the seal. Let's do this and get over with it," Marcus demanded.The crook lawyer he was working with, brought out some documents from his briefcase."Let me have the seal," he demanded.Marcus wasted no time in handing the seal over to him.He uncapped the seal and stamped it on the documents. "Where did you get this?" The lawyer asked while staring at the document he just stamped."What sort of question is that? Where else will I get it, if not from Frederick's office? Do your job and stop asking irrelevant questions," Marcus replied."This seal is fake," the lawyer announced."Fake? What do you mean?""Come over and see it for yourself."Marcus wasted no time in rushing over to the table where the lawyer had set the documents to stamp them."How can something I suffered to find be fake…"He trailed off when he saw a blaring FUCK YOU written in capital letters, instead of Frederick's signature."What the hell is this?" he boomed in ang
