JENNY'S POV."Good morning." I chirped with a huge smile on my face as soon as I arrived at the dinning table where Rachel and Mrs King were seated talking in a hushed tone. As soon as I took a seat, I observed Rachel was whipping her tears and letting out a shaky breath."Are you okay?" I asked with concern and she simply blinked repeatedly without uttering a word."She's fine, don't worry about her. But you…you look great and prepared." Mrs King said and I smiled gesturing to the maid who was pouring me a full cup of tea. It was enough."I am prepared." I told her and she stared at me with a proud smile. I felt extremely confident in a short black polkadot dress, it stopped a few inches before my knee and it was tightly fitted just how I liked it. It was long-sleeved, off shoulder showing the upper part of my shoulder and little cleavage, I was excited knowing for sure I was going to get the job through my looks, connection, body and history."Good. I'm glad you're doing this. I rea
Jenny's POV: But to me she looked nothing but fat and I couldn't wait to tell her. We soon arrived at the extravagant Kings Industries Skyscraper and I alighted out of the car. I strolled elegantly, holding my white bag in my left hands, into the building. As soon as I arrived, I was about to just head straight into the elevator as I knew where exactly I was headed to but the receptionist had to call my attention. "Good morning Miss. How may I help you?" I rolled my eyes and gazed at her for a second. Simple, basic, hungry looking woman. "It's Miss Jenny and I'm here to see the CEO, Nathaniel King." I responded with an attitude. "Is he aware of your arriv—-" "His mother, Mrs King, sent me here. So I'd advise and you let me up before I give her a call and you lose your job." I didn't wait for her to respond before I flipped my hair and walked away. I entered the elevator, clicking on the top floor. There were only a few people in the elevator and everyone seemed to be so focused
LYDIA'S POV.I was discussing with one of the representatives of the finance team, who was showing me the financial report from the hotel in the neighboring country. It was close to the end of the month, where I became extremely busy with reviewing the financial reports of the chains of hotels and restaurants they company owned and I would have to present it to the board members. As he spoke to me where we were standing in front of the conference room, I sighted Andrew walking down the hall with his secretary behind him. He had an unpleasant look on his face and it was quite hilarious due to the fact it was quite early in the morning to have such a stank look. I dismissed the representative and informed him, I would review the reports before darting towards Andrew. "Good morning, Mr Grumpy. How was your date with Macy?" I stifle my laughter walking fast to match his pace. He didn't respond but I still followed him into his office like a lost puppy because I truly needed to know ever
Lydia's POV:"Good morning." I responded with a tight-lipped smile then moved to the left in order to continue my journey to my office."I hope those chocolates are still your favorite and you do love the flowers." He questioned softly and I knitted my eyebrow in confusion before adding two and two.No way hard hearted Nathaniel King sent me roses and chocolates, my favorites? This was totally new."You don't have to do all of that. It's not necessary." I informed him sternly with my icy attitude."I…""Just let me be." I cut him off and walked away without feeling any remorse.After work, rather than heading back into my penthouse, I headed to Lorena's House. She owned her own duplex and lived comfortably which I truly admired. My bestie was always a boss bitch and fashionista, I loved seeing her winning and happy.I noticed a brown Bentley driving past me before I pulled my Mercedes Benz in front of her house, hopping out of my car with chocolate, cookies and a gallon of ice-cream.
3rd POV."Take her to the hospital she often goes to ... .I will join you there…..Request for a new doctor as well.." Nathaniel spoke to the family driver before hanging up. A gut feeling told him it was nothing serious but he still felt the need to show up for her and ascertain that there was nothing."Sir, you are headed out?" Lisa inquired walking into the office with a cup of coffee. He hummed in response putting on his black suit with a tired look on his face."Alright, sir. Hope everything is okay? You still have a dinner meeting with a few investors…" She trailed off reminding him and he sighed deeply, halting in his steps giving it a thought."Have the CFO head there before I arrive. Inform him how important these investors are." He said and Lisa nodded, taking notes.Without uttering another word, he dashed out exiting out of the building at large when he hopped out of the elevator arriving at the ground floor. His driver instantly roared up the vehicle as soon as he saw Nath
3rd POV: "I have a meeting at 8, I will be back some time tomorrow, okay? You will be alright Jenny." Nathaniel said then shook hands with the doctor, before strolling out of the room. He met Rachel who looked at him with an amused expression, he bid her goodbye then shut the door behind him. The second he left, Rachel let out a boisterous laugh calling the attention of everyone in the room to her. Jenny stared at her with a mean look, Mrs King looked at her with an irritated stare and the doctor try to keep his face straight and not laugh. "Don't worry Miss Jenny, I will assure Mr King that we are ranked the best in treating this illness, the staff and I are on it." Jenny kicked her feet throwing a tantrum then covering the blanket over her face. Mrs King rolled her eyes then appreciated the doctor before sending them out, she also shooed off Rachel who was still standing around giggling. After shutting the door, Mrs King let out a breath thinking about the events of tonight while
LYDIA'S POV.MONDAY.It was yet another regular day at work, who am I kidding? It was another busy day at work, Roseline had informed me of the bunch of work I had to do, and the CMO had requested my presence at the meeting with the marketing team of the two parties.I had just gone through the documents she had sent with the plans regarding the marketing initiative. My purpose was basically to inform them of the budget and the proposed income of the ad campaign goes well.I downed the rest of the coffee before rising to my feet and heading straight to the conference room. My hair was packed up in a messy high ponytail and my face was in simple make up, my eyebrows were done and my lips were coated in red lip gloss Lorena had suggested would look perfect on me. She was honestly my stylist."You look prettily tired today Miss Lydia." I scrunched up my face playfully at Roseline's compliment as she walked behind me."Whatever that means." We both chuckled before she helped me open the d
Lydia's POVHe walked towards me in slow motion, looking more handsome than ever. As he drew closer, I could feel my heart pounding in my chest, he had changed so much.Aaron has always been good looking with his dark, wavy hair, piercing blue eyes, and strong jawline. He's tall and athletic, with broad shoulders and a toned physique. He carries himself with confidence, but he's not arrogant. His smile is warm and genuine, and his eyes crinkle at the corners when he laughs. At one point, he was battling with low self-esteem when girls were always feening over him, but overall he looked like a model and the sweetest guy in the entire world."Lydia!" He called out looking at me with admiration, I grinned and instantly found myself hugging him tightly. He chuckled, embraced me and gave me a soft kiss on my cheek."Wow, you look…wow." I blushed as his blue eyes shined through the night looking into my soul. It seemed like he was the only one there right now though there were passers-by mo
I thought I would never be able to see them again…but I did and I'm going to make sure I live my life doing what makes them and me happy and loving all three with my whole heart.*************JUDGEMENT DAY:Mary had been found guilty on all charges and her lawyer was just a regular nonchalant state lawyer who was barely getting paid, he didn't even put as much effort into defending especially after finding out she was indeed guilty and all evidence was all spelt out.He just told himself, there was no point.“Counsels rise.” Both Mary and her lawyer rose to their feet as well as the state prosecutor. The female judge then asked for the jury's conclusion and she read it before then speaking.“This court finds the defendant guilty in the murders of the four men and the attempted murder of Lydia King. The court sentences you to death…..” The judge was still speaking but the members of the court as well as the journalist present all muttered amongst themselves pleased with the outcome.A
3RD POV:A FEW WEEKS LATER:It had been almost a month since the kidnapping of Lydia and a lot had happened in that period of time. When Lydia was kidnapped and she had seen a recorder beneath the down, it didn't belong to Mary, on the contrary it belonged to Jeremiah. He had personally flown to the city after his conversation with Lydia as his protective instincts arose at the sound of worry lingering in Lydia's voice. But while he was in the airplane, he and Aaron had been communicating and his heart broke when he landed and discovered that Lydia was kidnapped. But he swung into action at once.Mr Jacob Miller dialed all his contact in all the force which was why the FBI got involved and with the help of the two brothers, they pinpointed Lydia's location right in time though Jeremiah had arrived minutes before and ensured that he recorded all Mary was saying as he knew so well how cocky criminals got and they often start spilling. Then he went back outside in the car with Andrew a
Lydia's POV:"I killed him easily after telling him to come with me to carry the gifts of food I bought from him in my trunk. He happily followed behind and kept thanking me over and over again, if only he knew he was going to meet his demise. The hard part was now putting the body in your carry but after seducing the security team and diverting their attention, I went to your car. Luckily your car was not packed in CCTV's view, that was the end of it. Easie Peasie, Juicy Squeezie.” She finished and a single tear dropped down my eye as I thought about everything she had said.“O My Goodness, don't cry, it's not yet time for you to cry. I know I'm awesome but you don't have to.” She spoke mockingly and with anger and pain, I swallowed a lump in my throat and questioned, “WHY? WHY DID YOU DO THAT AND EVEN THIS? WHO IS PAYING YOU?”“Why am I doing all this? Such an important question.” I didn't miss the shift in tone as she walked closely behind me.“Well, I did all this because….You are
LYDIA'S POV:MINUTES LATER…“I know now you must be wondering, how did a queen like me do this? How was I able to destroy your family's image all by myself?” I was curious about that but the questions that were lingering in my mind were, Who asked her to do this? Who exactly was she? And more importantly, was she going to kill me or request for ransom instead? What was going to happen to me?“Don't worry sweetie, I'm going to tell you everything you need to know.” She hit my cheek twice softly then smiled snisterly.“So….Let's begin with the group of stupid guys that died in your family's hotel…” She took a seat before me and crossed her legs elegantly.“It was a chilly Sun…I don't recall what day of the week it was. Anyways, it was a chilly evening, and I had everything all planned out. I'm sure you've been mentally raving on how gorgeous I am, well so does every single man I come across. So I wore a beautiful short black dress and applied a sexy red lipstick and headed to the hotel
LYDIA'S POV:I opened my eyes slowly and they felt so heavy but I felt so different. My head was banging so loud I thought it was my heart beating, my body ached badly. My eyes were droopy, reminding me of the time I took too much cough syrup. It was a bit chilly in this place and I was seated on a chair but it was definitely not my office chair nor any of the chairs at home, as the chair felt cold and it was like sitting on a flat metal surface. I tried using my hands to rub my forehead, but I couldn't move my hands. It was then I forced my eyes open and instantly realized I wasn't in my house nor my office.Fear and confusion washed over me, as my eyes landed on absolutely nothing. It was completely dark in here and the only light was a small bulb which only managed to shine towards an empty office seat before me. I could see nothing else.Am I dreaming? Where am I? What the hell is going on? I struggled to move my arms and legs though they hurt badly, but it was so impossible. The
LYDIA'S POV:THAT SAME NIGHT:As the call on the other line dropped, I felt my body shake and goosebumps forming all over my arm. I just stood there with the phone still to my ear, stunned.“Who was it?” Nathaniel asked worriedly, breaking me out of my trance and I reverted my eyes towards him, removing my phone slowly from my ear, feeling my eyes tearing up in anger, frustration and exhaustion. But I blinked it away. Whoever was doing this to me would never get the upper hand in all of these. Never! “What's wrong? What did the person say?” Nathaniel asked again, pulling me towards him gently and I sighed.“I don't even know who it was! But what I do know for sure is that it was the person behind all these murders because not only was the person laughing like a maniac and a complete fool, I was also able to make out the words from what the person said, as he or she was speaking in a whisper. All I think I heard was, ‘Hope you're enjoying the drama in your life.’ before the person hu
NATHANIEL'S POV:My chair was faced out where I could see the entire busy city which served as a reflection to my mind which was running non-stop. My phone buzzed in my pocket and I instantly picked it up,My Queen👑❤️I'm okay, Nathaniel. I promise. I received the food you sent, thank you baby.I had also been checking up on her non-stop while waiting for a report from my private investigator. But as I looked outside, I decided to just do something rather than waiting.I dialed my mother's number, the one she had used to call me ever since she got released from prison. After just a ring, she answered instantly with excitement, “Hello, son. How are you doing?”She was currently in another country and she informed me where but I didn't care too much so it had slipped out of mind.“What are you doing?” I asked and she remained silent for a second.“What..What do you mean? I texted you last week that I joined a knitting and book club in a new city which I'm thinking of moving to. Is there
NATHANIEL'S POV:“She left already?” I heard voices coming from downstairs as I just finished freshening up after checking on the kids about twenty minutes ago. I was amazed to see that Lydia had already bathed them and even fed them. She was the best mum and I knew I needed to remind her every single day because she was truly a super mum and it was one of the many reasons I loved her so much. I'm not even going to begin to discuss how amazing she is as my woman.I left the twins with a smile on my face as I saw they were comfortable and just relaxing, kicking their feets. They were watching paw patrol which was surprising because Madison had always refused to watch it, calling it a ‘boys’ show. But It was nice to see her taking her time and actually enjoying it.I stepped out of my room in a casual fit as I had cleared my meetings till 10am, so I could be with the kids till I had to leave. I was genuinely worried about everything going on. I had wrapped my arms around Lydia throughou
3RD POV:THE NEXT DAY:There was something worse that could be added to the list of issues that the Millers were already facing.“O My Goodness.” Lorena closed her eyes rubbing her stomach as she watched the early morning news.Footage had been released from an anonymous source, displaying how food prepared by the hotel's chef was served to the three men that died and immediately after ate that they slumped and died.“According to the investigators, when they searched the CCTV camera, this was not found. And this comes to question a lot of things about the Miller company, did they delete this file to protect their image? And why were these three guests targeted or were there more people who died from the poisonous food prepared by hotel chefs and the bodies are still being hidden?” The news reporter casted and every friend and relative of the Millers were all perplexed. “Don't stress out, they are going to get to the bottom of this.” Lorena's husband assured serving a cup of tea then
