"Cecilia, whom did you offend?" Mr. Abraham asked, not only did he see the house burning already, he also saw some muscular scary looking man at the entrance of the house.
"I didn't offend anyone, dad. We need to find a way out," Cecilia replied.
They were both panicking.
"Where is my wife?" Mr. Abraham asked, not seeing Mrs. Abraham with them in the living room.
Cecilia woke both her mother and her father at the same time, why wasn't her mother here?
She ran inside and was surprised to see her mother sleeping.
After waking both her parents out, Mrs. Abraham still had a sleepy face and fell back to the bed.
Apparently, she didn't hear what Cecilia said clearly.
Cecilia tapped her mother by her legs repeatedly after which she opened her eyes.
"Cecilia, we will talk tomorrow," the woman was really feeling sleepy.
"Mum, the house is burning!" Cecilia shouted
Nathaniel Dave appeared inside the room ten minutes later, his looks was exceptionally calm. He went to sit on the couch instead and looked at her."Charlot Glenn, it hurts that you didn't eat my food but as long as I can see you with me, I'll be happy," Nathaniel Dave said gently.Isabel who was backing where Nathaniel Dave sat turned to him and their faces bored into each other."You are not planning to sleep on the bed with me, right?" Isabel asked."I won't sleep on the floor either," Nathaniel Dave answered."So where would you sleep?" Isabel asked.My house has over twelve bed rooms, my villa has more than seven big houses. I can sleep in any of those rooms," Nathaniel Dave said."Oh! Okay," Isabel said and turned away from him.Soon, she slept off.She woke the following morning and noticed that Nathaniel Dave was still on the couch, "didn't you go to one of the rooms t
Charlotte Glenn wanted to speak but the man's intimidating aura was having effect on her. This was her husband, ....was! he divorced her to marry Cecilia, unfortunately, they still haven't married.Cecilia was really getting engrossed in the man's imposing and domineering aura but when she remembered how the man had forced her to sign his divorce papers eventually after suffering for nine years in her marriage, she clenched her fist and shot him a stern look.It was at this moment that she regained her senses and asked," what are you trying to do?" Her voice was devoid of emotions."Charlotte! Why did you have so much effect on me? Why? Was it because you look like Isabel? " Nathaniel Dave asked, bringing his face close to Isabel.When Isabel saw that the man's lips was likely to land on hers, she took her face away, Nathaniel Dave dugged his face in her shoulder instead and breathed in her scent deeply.He collapsed into h
"Why would you let him wait, lead him in immediately," Isabel ordered and Elmer waddled out quickly and lead Mr. Dave to Isabel's office."You are welcome, sir. Please have your sit," Isabel was actually standing in respect of the man that had loved her for who she is."My soon to be daughter in law," Mr. Dave said with a smile.Isabel blushed," I'm sorry that my assistant keeps you waiting.""It's fine," Mr. Dave said and they both talked in detail about the contract and how it would benefit both parties.While they were discussing about the contract, they both had a serious look on, they talked on pure business ground and after they were done with the signing of the contract, Mr. Dave then let smile creep up on his face.Isabel eased herself after placing the contract on a side of her desk."I have not heard from my son, yet concerning your marriage, why is it taking time?" Mr. Dave asked.Is
Isabel turned and saw Mrs. Nettie and Mrs. Abraham.Ted held onto Isabel's big palm and refused Mrs. Nettie's call."Ted, your big mummy tells you to come, why are you holding onto that woman's arms?" Mrs. Abraham asked, she was referring to Nettie as big mummy."I want to start to live with her," Ted protested and the two women before Isabel exchanged surprising glances.Mrs. Nettie then walked close to Isabel," what did you tell my grandson that made him suddenly want to start living with you?""I think the question should be what did you and her did to your grandson that made him not want to live with you?" Isabel asked.Mrs. Nettie frowned and set her gaze on Ted, "Ted, have I hurt you before?"Ted buried his face in Isabel's side lap, he didn't say a word, all his longings was to follow Isabel home.While waiting for a response from Ted, Ted spoke up," I wan
Cecilia held the book that she wrote some important information in, she got this information from Nathaniel Dave's diary.Scared that Nathaniel Dave may find out that she was not the lady he promised to marry, he went to Nathaniel Dave's father house and broke in, with the help of some men of course.She took almost twelve hours before she finally found his diary in a room, she had once heard Nathaniel Dave say that his dairy was in his father's house.If she steals the diary and the diary was found with her , she will be accused or stealing so she only wrote down all the necessary information, one of them was the scars on her back.What was in her back wasn't a scar, it was drawn by an artiste to make it look like a scar.Even if all her secretes were revealed, as long as Nathaniel Dave sees her as the lady he promised to marry, he would be left with no choice but to stand by his promise.A man like Nathaniel D
Five minutes later, the door opened and as Cecilia turned her head, she saw Nathaniel Dave."Nathaniel Dave, I can now walk," she jumped up and smiled.Nathaniel Dave frowned.'Maybe she had been able to work for a long time, who knows,' Nathaniel Dave thought. "it's a good thing." His face held no expression.As he took steps forward, Cecilia walked to him," Nathaniel Dave, why did you look so cold? I expect you to rejoice with me. When the doctor said I can finally work, I was very happy and decided to tell you first.""I just told you it's a good thing, leave the way," Nathaniel Dave said but Cecilia fell to his chest instead.She had a sweet perfume on before she comes, "Nathaniel Dave, this is your Cleo " ."Cecilia, what did you want?" Nathaniel Dave remains indifferent."Your love. I miss you everyday!" Cecilia said, hugging Nathaniel Dave.The doorbell rang at this moment an
"Nathaniel ," Mr. Dave's voice came through."Dad, how are you doing?" Nathaniel Dave asked."Fine, why did you call?" Mr. Dave asked."Well, were you in Charlotte Glenn's office today?" Nathaniel Dave asked."Yes, how about it? " Mr. Dave asked. "The contract is none of your concern, don't even look into it. I do not expect her to tell you about the contract we had either, it's pure business.""Father, it's not about the contract. Did Cecilia came into the office and tried to kill Charllote Glenn?" Nathaniel Dave asked."You should stay away from that woman if you really want to live long. She throwed a knife to Charlotte Glenn and it almost hit her heart if not because she skillfully guided it. She may kill you someday. She's no more a human being but a beast. " Mr. Dave said.The phone was on loud speaker so Cecilia heard Mr. Dave's word loud and clear but after Nathaniel Dave hung
Nathaniel Dave came back with the first aid kit and squatted before her, she helped her administer the first aid kit to her hand asked, does it still hurt?"Isabel pretended to be weak and said," slightly?""Forgive me," Nathaniel Dave helped her up and led her to the couch in the living room gently. After he had ensured she sat, he placed a call across to his maid to come and clean the mess in the dinning.The more he thinks about how Cecilia hurt Isabel, the angrier he became.Was Cecilia getting despicable day after day. She was not like this before, Nathaniel Dave thought.He remained standing until the maid arrived, once he saw that she was beginning to arrange the mess in the dinning, he went to sit right beside Isabel.He could have lead her to his room but he was worried that she may not like it.He kept looking at her caringly, hoping she doesn't put the blame on him.Nat
Mrs. Nettie gazed at Isabel with a contorted look, she didn't know whether to cry or laugh. "Shocked?" Isabel asked with a painful smirk on her lips," It was your daughter that you sent to jail for three years," Isabel's heart was bleeding when she said this. Mrs Nettie gazed back at the DNA test result before her and tears rushed down her cheek, she was never close to guessing that Cecilia was not her daughter. Although there were some strange acts of Cecilia, she still never expected for her not to be her daughter. "The doctor lied to you after receiving payment from Cecilia and her mother that she was your daughter. When your personal doctor decided to tell me about it, Cecilia killed him before he could and I was accused wrongly and sent to prison," When Isabel said this, the whole scenerio finally made sense to Mrs. Nettie. Her blind trust for Cecilia had stopped her from thinking logically. Without looking a
"Good evening, sir," Mrs. Nettie greeted, she had a look of distress on her face."Good evening, Mrs. Nettie! Please have your sit," Mr. Dave said."Erm..." She didn't know whether to apologize for their previous contention of if she can just go straight to the point."Sir, I'm sorry for..." Mrs. Nettie said but Mr. Dave interrupted."Keep that, you are one of those that sent my daughter in law, Isabel to grave. So tell me why are you here in quick words or tell my guards to throw you out," Mr. Dave said.Thinking about how these people showed Isabel hatred and hatred alone, he became very angry because of it.Mrs. Nettie swallowed and said," my daughter is now in jail and I really need her to get out of there. My daughter can not kill, she was clearly framed up. I know you can help.""Mrs. Nettie, are you telling me to cover up a murder case?" Mr. Dave asked.This time, his heart
This was the third day that Ted had began to live with Isabel and they are really getting along, Ted spends most of his time being with Irene and playing with Minnie.Isabel received a call today and when he answered it, the voice of the person that came through sounded so familiar."Please, can you come over to my place, we need to talk," the woman on the other end said."I'm yet to know the person speaking," Isabel said. Although she had a clear guess of whom this person was, she still decided to act naive."Nettie!" Mrs. Nettie answered.She could have come to Isabel's house but she was worried that Isabel might chase him away like dog."Oh! Mrs. Nettie. Why did you want to see me?" Isabel asked."I have an important issue that is bothering my mind, I know we have never been friends but can I hope we can become one soon," Mrs. Nettie said.Isabel was quiet for a while then said," I'm not i
Ted sat at the backseat of the car while Nathaniel Dave and Isabel sat at the front seats.For the first few minutes inside the car, the atmosphere was silence.Ted then spoke, "did my mum really committed suicide?"'No, how can you call that evil woman your mum?' Isabel thought and waited for Nathaniel Dave to answer him."Well, if the cops says she did then she obviously did," Nathaniel Dave said.Before entering the car, he had told his personal doctor to meet with him at the police station that Cecillia was.When Nathaniel Dave got there, he got down and opened the door for Ted, soon Ted and Isabel were out of the car.Nathaniel Dave personal doctor, Dr. Harrison walked closer to him and said," you are welcome, sir.""I hope you brought your tools along with you? I need you to collect Cecillia's blood sample," Nathaniel Dave said."Oh! For what purpose sir?" Dr. Harriso
Nathaniel Dave had been disturbed as to why he had not seen Isabel for the past three days. He even told Felix to go and check on her in her house the day before yesterday and yesterday , yet, the door to her house was reported to be locked.Was she kidnapped or something?While Nathaniel Dave was in deep thought, a call came through on his phone and seeing that it was Mark, the head of his guard, he answered it."Sir, Mrs. Charllote just drove inside the compound, she will be be coming inside the house soon," Mark said."Alright," Nathaniel Dave said and dropped the phone beside him.He became happy at once that he would be seeing Charllote.He had not gone to see Cecillia in prison yet because he wanted to hear from Isabel first as to why he would arrest her on their wedding day.Soon, the doorbell rang.Nathaniel Dave went to open the door and when he swe her, he welcomed him w
"Isabel, it's really you!" Cecillia said and the memories of how cruel she was to Isabel rushed to her memory.This was the woman she set up many times, she even ensured she went to jail for three years.There was a time she stabbed her on her face too, she dealt terribly with this woman and even thought she killed her.So Charllote was Isabel all along, it's no wonder they looked so alike."I came back for revenge, dear," Isabel said with a smile."Isabel, how did you become a CEO of two companies?" Cecillia asked.Actually that was what convinced everyone that Charllote was not Isabel. They knew Isabel had nothing to her name, how could she suddenly own two big companies? How could she suddenly worth a billion in a period of ten months.Although Charllote had the same look as Isabel, many believed that it was impossible for her to be Isabel because of the wide gap in social status of Isabel
"Father, we can't keep grudges forever, we should settle it," Nettie said."I'm not keeping grudges with you sincerely, I just don't like your sense of judgement, " Mr. Floyd said."Is this about Cecilia?" Floyd asked so she can knew that he actually knew why she was here.Nettie was surprised to hear her father say this, he didn't expect that her father would have found out about what happened.Well, Since Cecilia was in a relationship with Nathaniel Dave, she had become a celebrity so any news about her would spread like wild fire in no time."Dad!" Nettie called in shock. She stuttered," I... , she has been arrested and accused of murder, I fear that she may spend years at the jail."Why are you telling me this?" Mr. Floyd asked."Dad, Cecilia is your granddaughter, she must not go to jail," Nettie said.When Floyd remembered what Isabel said about Cecilia and her evil parents,
Today was Cecilia's wedding day. She had been anticipating so much for this day to come and finally, it came.She was been dressed inside the inner room by the best cosmetologist in town. She wanted to look amazing , she had already been dressed in her wedding gown.Nathaniel Dave on the other end was dressed in suit, he sat inside the inner room with Felix He was not happy that he would be getting married to Cecillia. Cecilia might not accept his divorce papers when he finally decides to divorce her unless of course, he threatens her.But he treathened Isabel so much and she didn't sign the divorce papers until after nine years had passed."Sir, isn't Cecilia the woman you promised to marry in the past?" Felix asked."That's right," Nathaniel Dave answered."But you seem not to be happy about it, your dreams finally came through but you seem not to love her," Felix said"It used to be m
This man again! Nathaniel Dave thought. He wondered why his father would invite Joseph Brown of all people to treat him.He ignored Joseph Brown like he didn't see him and went closer to his father, the man was laying on a sofa and he looked feeble.Nathaniel Dave squatted before the sofa that he laid and said," father! How are you feeling?"Mr. Dave turned to him and spoke slowly," I only wish to see one thing before I die, and that's for you to get married to Charllote.""Father, you won't die. Why are you talking hopelessly like to this? What didn't doctor told you?" Nathaniel Dave asked but Mr Dave didn't say a word.Nathaniel Dave stood and turned to Joseph Brown then asked," what's wrong with my father?""He told me not to disclose it, I'm sorry," Nathaniel Dave shot him an angry look and said," who are you to withhold what's going on with my father from me?"Before Joseph Brown could re
