The following morning, I got Inside the mansion and met Christian pacing with his phone to his ears.Mom sees me standing at the door and calls back Christian's attention.He wanted to come to me when they saw Dad's lawyer walk in.Mr. Richard greeted everyone. He got to the Sofa and noticed the tension in the air, I came close while Chris inquired about his visit.How will he react to the fact that his brother just sold 10% of their father's Inheritance to me?Mr. Richard had everyone's nerves de-stress before declaring openly the shocking news...Christian almost had a heart attack when he got to know that the only inheritance his father left for him was gone.He looks back and finds me going to my bedroom."Nina,"He shouted my name, I looked back and saw the resentment in his eyes.Christian comes in my direction and orders to know if what Mr. Richard said was the truth.He begged me not to hide anything from him.I pulled away after noticing the look on everyone's faces. They a
I came back home and noticed that the guests were starting to come in to celebrate Mom's birthday, I got to my bedroom to rest when she walked inside, Mom wanted me to come down and everyone.I accepted, and she left smiling.After a while, I got down to join the others, Mom and Christian walked to the podium and welcomed the guests ...A waiter walks past with a glass of champagne, I collected a glass while listening to what mom had to say.She spoke about her family and how much she misses her husband...This takes me to the photo I saw inside her bedroom.Who is that man?I got a call from Mr. Richard during the party, he wanted me to come to meet him outside.I left the party "Sir, what's happening?".I saw him resting in his car."Nina, there is a problem,"...-He said, giving out a file to me.I got to find out that the company has lost over a million dollars.And it would be difficult for us to be stable again, because of this, I might think of letting go of some of the work
I came back home after a long day at work, the entire mansion was so dark that it felt kinda strange.I picked up my phone to switch on the flashlight.Then suddenly a hand grabbed my wrist and I was shoved inside a room.My bag fell on the floor in the process, I turned around and wasn't expecting to see Christian standing before me."Good evening Nina, can we talk?'He locks the door.I picked up my phone and bag, "what do you want to talk about?," I replied with an objectionable attitude.Christian noticed the tone of my voice and asked me the silliest question, he wanted to know if I hated him so much that his presence was making me sick.We stared at each other.I am sure Christian will want me to say the opposite of what he just asked, although there is a part of me that still loves him, because of what he did to my child, he not only killed me but the love we once shared."Please get out of my way, or else, you'll regret it,"I warned"No! I will not until you answer my questio
I'm sorry, do you know each other?" I asked.My question seemed to be lethal for Mom, when Mr. Fabian, responded with a nod."Yes, we do,".He says.I was rather hoping Mom would get to tell the truth, however, she somehow managed to sneak away from answering any questions.We both came back to the hospital. I had left Mr. Fabian under the supervision of Mr. Richard.Christian was trying to walk when he saw us coming in.He looks at his mom."Is everything okay?".I'm sure after seeing the look on her face, he must've suspected something was wrong.Mom brushed off every evil thought and smiled."Yes son, but tell me where are you going to?" She went ahead to help him.Fredrick comes to the room later. He handed a letter to Mom and informed her that the doctor would be discharging Chris tomorrow morning.Mom nodded and assisted her son back to lie down, I left there to get a cup of coffee, and on my way back I saw Mom waiting outside, her face wasn't receptive at all."Tell me, how dar
"Nice to meet you,"Christian says with a smile, being welcoming to his father. Of course, he has no idea about it.I got a call from Mr. Richard and left.Before leaving I asked Karis to set Mr. Fabian's things in the visitor's room.Mom created a scene when I got into the room.She blamed me for trying to instigate her sons against her.Why is she serious? I stood there and watched her, her sharp tongue made me so furious that I couldn't control myself, I looked right back at her and angrily shouted."Don't you dare blame me, Mom," I pointed her"Seriously Nina, this isn't your fault, you're the reason why a stranger is staying in our house,"Mom reprimanded me yet again"My house, remember I own everything, and I will choose who stays here or not,"I replied walking to the door."Please leave, before I forget my manners,"I looked away.Mom left the room still agitated. Frank walks in to ask what happened.I told him not to worry and had him leave the room as well.Evening. Precis
I came back home a new minute Lisa did, and walked into my bedroom to rest.The next morning. Fabian and I met each other at the stairs, he smiled at me, I looked across his shoulders and Christian was busy talking with Lisa.We both met Mom at the dining table, she saw me with Fabian seated down and almost lost it.Christian walks in with Lisa. He says he had an announcement, we all turned and Lisa happily announced to the family that, since Dad's death anniversary was tomorrow, she thought of throwing a party.Hearing her say those words. Something strange is wrong.While talking, Lisa and I shared a look at each other.She smirked and wrapped her hands around Christian's shoulders.Should that make me jealous?....Mom immediately applauded Yulan's suggestion. She even asked Frank to help Yulan set everything ready for Dad's anniversary.Just like that? I don't accept this.Later that day, Yulan paid me a visit to my bedroom. She walks in holding two dresses in her hand.I faced
Mom plunged unconscious immediately after she learned the news, and we all ran to help. Christian asked me to phone the doctor to come home.. while waiting, I couldn't help but imagine what happened, Who killed Frank?Although I have my assumptions, I can't prove them just yet. Did Lisa do this or better yet Anna? Because I do know her existence and partnership with Lisa.I should say. Both brothers have a terrible ordeal with women.Christian scrambled to the kitchen. He saw the tense look on my face and promised that everything would be fine.I should believe him. However, why don't I? There's something strange happening and I'll have to find out.He goes back to his mom's bedroom.Fabian came to my bedroom a little while, he wanted to know if he could help with anything. I would say, or better yet advise him to leave, but I am quite aware that Rina's target, is me and the Rick family.I asked him not to bother. I turned to the window of my bedroom and across the field, there I
Lisa made no effort to tell me the truth, even when I almost slapped her, she pulled away, weaving out a warning."Don't you dare! Nina"She lets go of a paper in her hand and leaves the study room.Why did I think that Lisa would ever tell the truth, honestly, why is she here? Perhaps was she looking for something?I left, after arranging everywhere, the study room, and went back to its normal outlook. My bedroom was just three rooms away but I felt a little thirsty, I went downstairs again to get a glass of water from the fridge, maybe juice.I opened the fridge and immediately after I closed it back, I turned around and saw Lisa walking In.She and I stared at each other.I noticed that her eyes lowered down a little and she was busy staring at the glass in my hand.The glass that I held was Christian favorite goblet.She got offended by that and attempted to take it away from me.For no just cause, I couldn't let her do that, I pulled away and she almost fell on the dishwashe
