Several events lead to her developing a bond with Christopher as she tries to fix what is left, emotionally, of this man who makes her feel better than she is. However, the business games from both families soon catch up and Anna realizes that she can’t keep her budding love for Christopher and her loyalty to her family.

Now, she has to risk her life and dig deeper into the secrets or risk losing everything, including Christopher.
View MoreGregory Hanson‘…in another exciting gossip, Anna Vendel has been married off to the emotionally unstable CEO Christopher Hanson. Though nothing is public yet, we are made to understand that Anna was sighted at the Hanson mansion with her luggage and it seems she’ll be staying there for a while. It’s rather shocking that this rapidly happened shortly after she took her father’s company to the ruins. This makes Business Gossips wonder if she’ll achieve such a feat with Dazzling Dreams…’I poured myself wine as I watched the gossip show. The Business Gossips show was one of my favorites and I never failed to sneak a peek at their daily episodes. They were good at digging up gossip like those I just heard. One could learn a lot about business rivals and competition just by listening to most of this gossip.However, I felt they’d been too quick to discover that Anna had come over. Everything concerning the marriage had been done covertly so I had to hand it to them.I took a sip of wine a
I became calmer by evening and I felt the long warm bath I had contributed hugely to it. There were still a lot of things on my mind, but I didn’t feel weighed down by them too much. When in my life had I never felt many burdens weigh down on me? Yeah, it was probably a routine in my life now. Dad said I was a failure. It was because of that, that I accepted to do this—to try and atone for my mistakes.With a long sigh, I started unpacking. I didn’t bring much so I knew it wouldn’t take too long. After hanging my clothes in the wardrobe, I put my shoes on their rack and then I put my books, files, and laptop on the table in the bedroom. When I laid down the books, something sticking out of the pages caught my attention and I pulled it out.It was a photo of a woman with a charming smile, sunny brown hair, a pair of sneakers, and a crown made of flower petals on her head.MomI never knew her; I never heard her talk—and Dad said she had the sweetest voice. That had been in one of Dad’s
AnnaThe stench of sweat, paint, and alcohol drowned me, making me forget that I was breathing. It was at the point of choking that I realized that Christopher was squeezing the air out of my lungs. I coughed and tapped his back as lightly as I could. “Christopher, you’re hurting me!”He didn’t seem to hear immediately as he kept mumbling inaudibly, and then he loosened his grip on me and stood back a bit. He was close enough that I could feel his warm breath all over my face and see his limpid brown eyes which looked like a child’s. He looked different from what I was used to seeing on TV. He was now thinner, more muscular, and had a thicker beards. Regardless, he was still the drop-dread handsome CEO whose smile would leave every woman swooning.My heart was still racing because the chain of events had been unexpected. From seeing paintings of myself to being squeezed in a tight hug by Christopher. I wouldn’t have believed it even if a seer had said it.“You’ve been…painting me?” I
AnnaEveryone knew Christopher Hanson was a lunatic, but I was going to marry him. I sat in the car, thinking about my life in a nutshell. What other thing could I do well aside from messing things up even more?I sighed and glanced out the car’s open door. I was there, at the Hanson’s family mansion. The building rose like a giant and the intricate glassy design instilled a sense of wealth in all who saw it. It was easily the biggest building in this part of Abuja.I checked my phone, noting the time, 9:27 a.m., fifteen minutes had passed since I arrived in the car but no one had come to at least acknowledge my arrival. One would expect that Christopher—or anyone else of importance—would abandon their coves to come to usher me in. Christopher. Thinking about him, I felt silly because I thought he ought to have come out to see his new wife who had been brought on a platter. Heck, the man hadn’t even shown up to sign the marriage certificates. The certificates had been packaged and se
