I flipped my eyes open, and I saw a ceiling. I tried to sit up, but my head hurts too badly. "Where am I?" I asked myself, just then the door flipped open and a lady in uniform walked in.
"Oh, you are awake already?" The lady smiled at me.
"Who are you?" I asked, and she just smiled, and said, she would be right back before leaving the door.
I sighed softly as I glanced around the room. After a few minutes the lady returned with an elderly man, who you could say was in his fifties.
The man approached me, and stopped right in front of me. "It's good you are awake, so you can finally tell you who you are and also where you are from." The man said, as he stood beside my bed side.
"Who are you sir?" I asked.
"I'm Mr onward, and the owner of this Mansion, and who are you?" He asked me after introducing himself.
"I'm.. I'm…" I stuttered, as I couldn't remember anything about myself, and my life before I arrived at the spot where I was being chased by gunmen.
"What aren't you saying?" The man asked.
"I'm sorry sir, but I can't remember anything about myself, the only thing I remember is the fact that I was being chased by some people, and that I later blanked out, that's all I remember." I explained, and he sighed heavily.
"So that means you still can't remember your name too?" He asked, and I nodded.
"This is interesting, but nevertheless I guess you should be hungry by now." He asked, and I quickly nodded, then he asked the lady to bring me some food before he finally left my room.
I sighed softly and tried to relax back on the bed, as I held my head into my palm. It really hurts so badly, and of course I know why.
But how come that was the only thing I could remember of myself. I don't really know what more to do or where to go if this man finally allows me to leave, because I don't really know anyone about me again.
I thought, but just then the lady came back with some plates in her hand which I guess was the food. The man who introduced himself to be Mr onwards sent her.
"Here is your food ma'am, please sit up and eat." The lady said, as she stood closer to my bedroom after dropping the food in the nightstand drawer.
I slowly sat up, and moved closer to where she had dropped the plate. Immediately I opened it, and the sweet aroma of pasta and meatballs hit my nostrils, and my mouth watered.
"Is all this for me?" I asked, seeing how many the meatballs were. And the lady laughed and nodded.
"I will be going, please call me when you are done eating." The lady said, was about to walk away when I stopped her.
"I don't know where to meet you." I told her.
"Oh my bad, I will come back to check up on you, and then I will take the dishes away if you are done." She said, and I told her it was better that way. She just smiled and finally went out of the room.
I turned back to the food, and smiled seeing how good the food looks, and I just couldn't wait to devour it. I quickly grabbed my cutleries, and started eating without wasting my time.
After a while the lady returned to my room, and went straight into the door inside my room. She stayed there for a while before she finally came out.
"I have mixed your bath now, so go in there ma'am, and have your bath, while I take this away." The lady said, and I slowly stood on my feet, and started walking over to the door, I saw her coming from.
The bathroom is actually really big and beautiful, and I like the scent of the soap the maid had put in the bathtub. " Maybe I really need this right now." I said out loud, before I took off my clothes, and got into the bathtub.
Immediately I entered back into the room, the lady was there holding a dress. "Who owns that?" I asked.
"The boss asked me to give you this dress, and he wants you to wear it, and come down to his library, so that he would be there waiting for you." She told me, and I sighed softly.
"But I don't know anywhere in this house, so how am I supposed to go to his library?" I asked.
"You don't need to worry about that ma'am, I'm going to take you there." She told me.
"OK thank you so much. I really appreciate this." I said, and took the dress from her, as I went back to my bathroom to dress up, since she was there.
I came out of the bathroom fully dressed, and we both went to the boss library like she had said. She stopped at the door, and asked me to go in while she stayed outside waiting.
After a while I was in front of the boss like she called him. "Sir, you sent her to get me." I said,
"Yes I did, and please have a seat." He said, pointing at the chair opposite his, and I had my seat.
He cleared his throat. "Since you can't remember anything about yourself, I will want you to stay here as my daughter before you will finally regain your memory." He said, and I smiled immediately and thanked Him.
He told me I was welcome to the family, and also said he was going to introduce me to his son and wife when they finally returned in the evening.
He told me they were in his firm, and taking care of business, but he decided not to go over to his firm that day because he wanted to Know about me since he was the one that saved me, and take me back to my family if it was possible.
I immediately went on my knees and thanked him, while he just smiled without saying anything more.
He asked me to call the maid who had brought me here, and I was going but he stopped me. "I will call Maya, since you can't remember your name." He said, and I nodded, and told him I like the name, before I finally went outside to call her.
He handed her a credit card, and told her to take me out shopping and get me some new clothes, and also told her to take me around the house.
She nodded immediately, and held my hand as we both started walking out of the library immediately.
The maid and I went to the mall, and I got a lot of clothes, before we finally returned back to the Mansion. And immediately we were called to have lunch, after which She helped me arranged the clothes into my closet.
She grabbed my hand after arranging my clothes, and she started showing me around the magnificent Mansion. It was really so beautiful, and I admire all what I saw in the compound, and even inside the house.
"Can I ask you something?" I asked the maids who was taking me around the house.
"Sure, please go ahead ma'am, ask me anything." The maid said,
"Is your boss always this good to people?" I asked.
"Yes ma'am he is really good to everyone regardless of their status." The maid replied to me.
"Hmm," I exhaled. "Ok thanks for the information, I really appreciate it." I said,
"Come on ma'am, it's no big deal." The maid said, and I smiled as we both continue our walk around the house.
I finally returned to my room after she had showed me around the house. I was really so tired by then, because we have really walk around for hours. The Mansion was actually so big that it's really so stressful to walk around, so I had to go straight to bed because I needed a good nap.
Soon it's was evening and I was seated in my bed as my mind went off to Mr Onwards words. He told me he was going to introduce me to his family this evening at dinner.
Honestly right now I'm eager to meet his family, I'm sure they would be as nice as him, honestly I really can't wait to find see them.
Since I woke up from my little nap, all my mind and has been on Mr Onwards family, and all I just want is nothing more than to see them finally.
I thought as I remain seated on my bed, but just then a knock came on my door, bringing me back to reality. "Yes who's there?" I asked.
"It's me ma'am, I'm sorry to disturb you, but dinner is served." A voice said from outside my room, and immediately I knew it was the cook, I became overwhelmed immediately.
"Ok, I will be out shortly." I shouted so she could hear me, and just then I heard her footsteps fading away.
I smiled immediately as I stood up. I have already had my bath, and dressed into a good looking clothes, that I was sure would be good enough to meet the people I was about to meet right now.
I quickly when to the mirror, and arranged my hair properly, before I finally left my room. I locate the dining room, wasn't a big deal to me because I have been there already at noon, so I already know my way.
I entered into the dining room, and saw Mr Onwards, and a pretty lady, whom you could say was in her late forties sitting beside him.
I guess that must be his wife, so I moved closer, and Mr Onwards noticed my presence, and immediately called me to come to him.
With a smile plastered on my face, I rushed to him, and he introduced me to his wife, who just frowned at me, and went back to her food, and somehow my heart was broken.
I wasn't expecting anything like that to happen, because I actually thought that his family would love me, just as he loves me, but that's wasn't what was happening now.
Just then a young man walked into the dining room. And I froze immediately, he was a clear description of a demigod. He was having a short hair, and a wide chest.
He was also tall, and got the cutest smiled ever. I really couldn't believe how handsome he was, and I wonder who he was.
He walked passed me, without even noticing my presence, and went straight to his dining room, where he pulled out a chair, and had his seat.
"Sorry I got here late, and I was a little busy with something before in my room." He said, and just then Mr Onwards called me.
I slowly stepped forward Hoping that he wouldn't also behave like his mother. "Son, meet Macey, the girl I saved last night from those men." Mr Onward said, and he just gazed at me before turning back to face his food.Mr Onward also told me to have my seat, and I went over there and did as he had said. I was served my food almost immediately, and I started eating.Somehow it's was really awkward being at the dining table, with Mr. Onward 's wife and son, but Mr. Onward tried to make me feel comfortable there.After dinner, I quickly rushed off to my room, because I couldn't stand the gaze that was given to me by Mr. Onward 's wife and son. I just need to be out of their means as soon as possible, and that was what I did immediately when I got the opportunity.I relaxed back on my bed, as sleep took me off almost immediately.Soon it was finally morning, and I was calling for breakfast, but I decided not to go, as I requested for my food to be brought to my room. I tried to avoid g
"Yes, Carter that's my decision,so you are going to do it." My father said,"Dad, you can't be serious about that, are you?" I asked him, still finding it out to believe what he had just said."Son, I'm more than serious, if I wasn't then why would I come here to tell you about it?" He asked me."But dad, I'm not ready to get married anytime soon, so please don't try to bring Macey into the picture because I won't do that." I told him."Then get ready, to lose everything, because I'm going to Will everything to the orphanage then, because I can't sit back and watch you play with everything I have worked so hard for." He said,"Dad what are you talking about, as much as I remember? I have always been doing all the work I needed to do in the company well, so why are you bringing this up?" I asked him."Look Carter I don't have time to listen to all this you are saying to me right now. I have told you already either you get married to Macey or forgot about my company, and wealth." He sai
One morning I received a call from my father that he wanted to see me.I gave him an address to one nearby restaurant, and he promised to be there by noon to see me.I sighed softly after the call dropped, and I wondered why my father wanted to see me out of the blues. Because since I got married to Carter about a month ago, I only talked to my father on the phone, and he had never come to see me or ask me to come to see him.So this meeting was rather sudden, but he was my father, and so if he really wants to see me, I will have to just go. Maybe he has something important to tell me, so I just have to go over to him, and listen to whatever he has to say.I thought as I looked forward to the time he had mentioned that he would come to see the restaurant.I was home alone, so going to wherever I wanted to go wasn't any big deal to me. There is no one to stop me, so I totally have nothing to worry about. All I needed to do now was just to go ahead and get what I would be wearing out pr
I sighed softly as I slowly raised my head, and stared at the other side of the bed where he was laying down.He wasn't sleeping, and our eyes met. "What are you looking at?" He asked coldly, and I immediately looked away."I just asked you a question, so answer me immediately." He yelled."I'm sorry it's actually nothing, I only wanted to see if you are asleep already, because I couldn't sleep." I told him."If you can't sleep does that mean you should check up on me?" He asked."No, I'm really sorry, I promise this won't happen again." I told him."Gosh, I hate you so much, and I hate the fact that my father forced me into marrying you, though I knew you were the one that told him to do that." He said,"No I'm not the one please, I also tried talking to him to stop this marriage of a thing but he refused." I defended myself."Be quiet, and not make me lose my anger." He yelled, and immediately I got scared, and held my lips in my palms.He just stared at me for a while. "You and I k
I hate the fact that I love him now and I think I really need to stop myself from this madness called love. I thought and sighed softly.Days went by but still Carter and his mother kept frustrating me, and now that I had no one else to talk to because Mr James was dead.Somehow I felt so alone, and I really wish Mr James was still alive, so I could tell him every single pain I was feeling, but that is not possible because he is dead and done, so I can never see him ever again.I sighed softly as I thought of calling my dad. I grabbed my cell phone from the nightstand drawer, and was about dialling his contact when I remembered what he had told me the last time.I quickly dropped my phone back, and relaxed back on the bed. It was actually noon, and I'm the only one home. Carter has gone over to his office, while his mother has returned back to her husband's mansion, so there was no one bothering me.But I'm just feeling so lonely that I felt I needed to talk to someone so urgently.
CARTER POVWhen she said she wanted a divorce, I felt strange about it, but I like the fact that she was the one that had said it. Honestly, since my father's death, I should have made that decision, but I really don't know why I still remain in the marriage with her, when I knew that I don't really love her for a bit. I sighed softly and slowly continued my bath.When I entered the room I saw it was completely empty, and I just took a deep breath,as I went to get dressed.I went out of the room and headed straight to the dining room. I met just the cook there who quickly dished out my food for me. Just as I was about to eat, my phone rang. And I immediately took it up. I checked the caller's ID and saw it was one of my guards.I quickly pressed the answer button and placed it in my ears. "Sir, I'm sorry to disturb you, but some people attacked the warehouse and took away some goods from there." He spoke up immediately, and I frowned."I will be there in a minute
Chapter 9"Anna, let's go over to my office." I said to her, as she just nodded, and stood up from the chair she was sitting while I also did the same as we both started walking out of the meeting room.We entered my office together, and had a seat, as we talked about how the party was going to go. Honestly I really don't feel like attending any party tonight because I had a lot of work to do, but since those clients insisted, I had to do it, no matter what.We talked about how it was going to go for a while, and we decided to go over to the mall and get some dress which would be suitable for the party.We left the firm early, and we headed straight to the mall where I bought two dresses, one for myself and the other for Anna who couldn't stop thanking me,as we went over to my house."So Macey, what do you really like to eat now, so I can prepare it?" She asked me."Come on Anna,we haven't even get into the house yet, and you are already looking for a way to cook." I told her, as I br
CARTER'S POVDespite what I said, Charlotte still insisted on eating outside of the hotel. She insists on eating at a fancy restaurant."It looks more heartwarming to be in places like that, than eating in a hotel. Honestly, I don't feel like going into this hotel. I just don't feel like it," She said, crossing her arms while sitting in my car.I'm really not up for this nonsense at this very moment. She insisted on shopping and I followed her to do so, despite the fact that I'm not interested in leaving my hotel room.Now we're back, she doesn't want to eat here in the hotel but at a fancy restaurant.Charlotte's behavior was beginning to get on my nerves. And she won't like me if I get extremely mad with her.Again, she begged me to take her to a restaurant, saying she wasn't ready to eat at the hotel but somewhere more convenient to her liking."Please, let's go Carter," Charlotte pleaded. Now holding me by the arms.I was angry, that's the honest truth. But I sighed and succumbed
Macey's father was already bleeding so badly, from the place he was shot, and I wished I could help him up the spot, but there was no way, because we were still in a deep battle, and we just started doing that now."Sir, go in, and try to attend to your wound, I will handle them." I finally spoke up, hoping he would listen and just go in."No, there are too many for you to handle, I can't let anything happen to you, I know my daughter cares so much about you, besides you were still injured yesterday, so let me stay here and help you out." He said stubborn, and I sighed softly."You are losing too much blood, please go and attend to your wound, if Macey loses you, she would never be happy again, besides she has been away from here, she just came to see you this morning, after so long. Please sir, listen to me and do this for your daughter." I pleaded, and he took a deep breath, and mouthed 'okay,' casually before leaving me there.I continued shooting at them, until I killed all the gu
We went straight to the table, and I took an excuse before finally leaving the party. At least I have shown myself there already, so I really don't want to stay until the party comes to an end.I walked into my house with Anna behind me. "Come on Macey you really didn't have to leave the party so early, besides I haven't even enjoyed the party yet." She frowned once we were finally in."I have a lot of things to do tonight, so I really needed to be home early, remember I have a flight to catch in the morning." I told her, as I had my seat on the couch, while I bent to take off my shoes."Even at that, we should have stayed there a little longer at least until 11pm before coming home." She said, and I widened my eyes in disbelief."Come on Anna you can't be serious, are you?" I asked her, as I finally tried to compose myself."I'm very serious Macey, you and I know how much I love parties, and we had the opportunity to attend one today, but you didn't even let us stay." I sighed softly
I wasn't too comfortable with the fact that I took the call from an unknown contact, but I just tried to be confident and placed the phone on my ear."Hello ma'am Macey, it's me Peter, your father's guard." He spoke up immediately and I answered the call, and I just sighed in relief realising it was something I knew."Oh Peter, what can I do for you, hope all is well, and daddy is doing just fine?" I asked immediately, still trying to figure out why he was calling me, because from what I know, he has never called me before, since I started using this contact, so why was he called me then."Your father is not fine, he is so sick, and he said he wants to see you, before he dies." He told me, and immediately I couldn't feel my heart spanking."What!!!" I exclaimed, as hot tears clouded my eyes immediately."Yes Miss Macey, you have to consider coming home soon, so you would get to see him one last time before he finally dies." He advised me, and I totally hate the fact that he said that,
I guess I made a horrible mistake for taking the call without checking the caller ID first. "Mum, I told you already, that I don't want her here, because I am too busy to attend to her, and I told you that I won't go to see her even if she decides to come here, so stop bothering me about her." I told her off, and disengaged the call.I know she would be shocked, but I don't care. From now on, I don't really care about her, all I care about is no one else but Macey.So until I get back into my life, nothing else matters, and no one else matters too, so I don't need to get myself all worked up because of my mum.She can get angry at me, but I really don't care. To me it doesn't really matter now.I thought and sighed softly, as I continued walking out, but my phone kept ringing, knowing fully well that it was my mum, I just ignored the call, and proceeded into my car, and drove off immediately.I sat comfortably as I placed my order, but just then my eyes went to Macey and Anna walking
MACEY'S POVIt was another weekend again, and honestly, I was really grateful. Since the incident of Carter kissing me in the office, I had been away from the office.I stayed home for two days, and I only just went to the office yesterday which happened to be on Friday. I really can't believe Carter has the nerve to kiss me, despite what he had done to me before now.But somehow I'm still very surprised that he actually kissed me, Because for the three whole years I was married to him, he never for once kissed me. So why would he just kiss me now out of the blues.Was he really trying to play with my feelings or what? or does he know that I still have feelings for him, and he has plans to take advantage of that fact? So many questions popped into my head, and honestly I wished I could get an answer to them all.I stood up reluctantly from my bed, as I was still laying down. When I woke up this morning, my head was just filled with different thoughts, and I didn't see
Chapter 36"Anna I'm sorry, but I can't sit up, I promise to make it up to you in the morning." I managed to say, as I could feel my eyes slowly closing."You are just so lazy sometimes." She said, and stormed off and honestly I felt really good that she had gone away.Once it was morning, I got dressed, and so was Anna and after breakfast we left for the office. I thought of going over to Anna's office too like the previous day, but I figured out that would make me look weak before him, so I quickly decided against it, and waved at Anna before making my way to my office."So this is it," I took a deep breath, as I made to grab the doorknob and somehow my heart was pounding, and I felt so nervous too, but why?After staying there for a while, I finally decided within myself to step in, which I did without thinking twice."You are finally here today, I'm so happy." He smiled, and I frowned and just ignored him, and went straight to my seat."Here check this out." He stretched out some
Chapter 35Once I was done, I walked back into my Suite, and got dressed, before placing a call across to the attendance placing order for food, which was brought to me almost immediately.After eating, I climbed into my bed, but couldn't sleep as my mind was still very much clouded with the thought of Macey. I really couldn't believe what was happening. Or why I couldn't stand up to her and just tell her what I feel I really needed to tell her.I could still remember how she would always cry like a baby whenever I or mum did something to her. But now she is really a high standards lady, who doesn't give a fuck about me anymore.I really neglected her feelings back then, and it's really so hard for me to stand up to her and tell her mine, because she might want to pay me back for all I have done to her.I thought and sighed softly while I shut my eyes, and turned over to another direction on my bed. "What would she be doing right now?" I asked no one in particular, as I remained on my
I sighed softly, and left the kitchen as I went to have my food. I know Anna must really be upset right now, and it wasn't really right for me to yell at her that way. I thought as I tried to hurry up with my foodI finally stood up afterwards, and got ready to leave, and once I arrived at Anna's house. I knocked while she just came to open the door almost immediately like she has been expecting me."Anna, I'm really so sorry for the way I spoke to you, I really shouldn't have, and I know you were only trying to look out for me, believe me, I really appreciate it." I told her, while placing my hand in my chest."It's okay, I totally understand you, and I shouldn't have made you leave the house anyway before if I haven't we won't have gotten into that kind of a situation." She said, but I told her, she had done the right thing, because I really needed to go out of the house for a while to cool off."Even if you needed to go out of the house, you really don't need to go to a club, besid
Anna walked back into the sitting room all dressed up. "Where are you heading?" I asked her, not being able to stop myself."Like I said, it's a secret, you will find out when I get back, so just relax back here, I will be back soon trust me." She said, and grabbed my car keys."But Anna,do you think it a good idea to Leave me all alone in the house? Don't you think I would be too bored, considering how I am feeling right now?" I asked her, hoping it would do the magic of making her stay back or probably making her allow me tag along, because I really don't want to stay with her all alone. It's really not advisable to me right now. "Oh that's true, I never really thought of that." She sighed softly while biting on her figure."You know what, go ahead and get dressed, let's go out together, maybe you might feel a little better once we are out." She said, and I smiled immediately, as I tried to make my way out of the sitting room."No stop, I won't go out anymore, let's just stay toget
