TERRA'S POV:

“You don't even ask about my wellbeing or the other kids or how the slumber party went or anything else. At least easing into the topic but you just go straight into it. Or is that the only reason you agreed to come see me?” I scoffed and rolled my eyes at his questioning and before I could respond, the waitress arrived.

“Good afternoon! What can I get for the lovely couple today?” I scrunched up my face and was about to correct her as she seemed new here but James wouldn't allow me to speak as he spoke up.

He listed out our orders knowing mine like the back of his hand. He was just so attentive and had a perfect memory.

As she left, I exhaled, taking off my glasses and spoke up, “I did ask about your wellbeing, but whatever you're right. How are you doing today, Mr Lauder? How was the kid's slumber party? I apologize if my kids were a burden.”

He looked at me like he was amused leaning back in his chair.

    ROSS'S POV:I tapped my pen on the table repeatedly, staring from my computer to the man in front of me whose words had me yawning. I was totally interested in what he was saying, it was just one of those days. The only thing keeping me sane was having something to look forward to everyday at least in a week but so far nothing, except the park coming together in months time.“We thought of working with the Williams Toy Company as soon as the amusement park was ready. However, their image is in shambles and rumor has it that their sales are in the garbage. I doubt it will be suitable to work with them, but the meeting with their CEO will be held in a few weeks as they had pleaded for more time, so I will review their proposal and inform you about that, sir.” The Marketing Director explained and I just hummed glancing through the file presented in order to publicize the launch.I had no idea who owned the company nor did I ever care, so I couldn't comprehend why he was trying to ensure

I placed one hand in the pocket of my black trousers and the other hand was holding onto the bag of engagement gift.“If it isn't The Sexiest Most Handsome Billionaire Alive!” Chandler announced my presence as I got to the VIP section where they were all seated.I smiled and shook hands with Chandler and gave him a brotherly hug. Jeremy was just staring at me with squinted eyes.“My little man.” He stood up and I chuckled at the name and we shared a hug and our small hand shake.“We missed you man.” He commented as we broke apart and I exhaled, refusing the urge to admit that I missed them too.“Of course you two did.” They sucked their teeth playfully then took a seat and it was then I noticed the other guest present.I gave Tony Lauder who was there with his wife, Bianca, a head nod and he smiled politely. I had met them at a few work functions over the years and I didn't see them more than as bu

    3RD POV:After dinner, Gianni and Bianca were exhausted so they decided to go home and Chandler and Anne, who were all over each other, did the same as they couldn't wait to tear the clothes off each other. Tony Lauder and Jeremy ensured their partners were inside their cars and gave them a kiss before shutting the door and speaking to their personal drivers. “Are you leaving too? I thought we could catch up a bit, you know and drink.” Jeremy spoke to Ross who was hesitant about staying back as Amber and Nina resolved to stay back as well and he was getting the icks from their presence.They stepped into the inviting bar. And it had a warm amber glow emanating from the elegant glass fixtures overhead, illuminating the rich wood of the counter and the sleek, chrome-finished bar stools. Behind the counter, the shelves were lined with a variety of spirits, their amber, gold, and crystal bottles reflecting the warm light like jewels. A skilled mixologist stood at the ready, ready to whip

Ross relax, this is your place of establishment and everyone is watching.” Jeremy cautioned and Ross's breathing was fast paced as he was trying to calm himself down but he still felt he needed to at least give Tony a punch but he controlled himself.“I'm sorry man. I didn't know you still cared about her, I thought she was the enemy after leaving you heart broken.” Ross just dismissed him and took his seat back ready to leave in that instant.“Yeah, okay. Just keep her out of your mouth.” Ross warned sternly and Tony raised his hands up in surrender.“Look, all I was trying to say is that marriage is overrated. Being with the same woman all your life and getting the same vagina every night, what could be marvelous about that?" A snort was heard and it was then they remembered Amber was still seat

Her hair was packed up in a high ponytail and she still had on the gown from last night but her face gave off that she hadn't been able to get much sleep last night as she looked exhausted and her bed was calling onto her.She yawned stepping into her apartment tossing the keys to the key bowl and she took off her heels and sigh afterwards.As she walked further into her apartment, she noticed a difference in the atmosphere of her house and she concluded that someone was inside her apartment making her become alert. It was early in the morning but that didn't mean murder didn't happen in broad daylight. She carefully took in her surroundings, bringing out a pepper spray from the bag but jumped in fear by the sound of a very familiar voice.“Why are you just coming back? Y

However, Amber had already made plans with the waiter and he filmed the whole discussion on his device unnoticed.Tony Lauder brought her into his private villa which his family owns and Amber smirked at how luxurious it was knowing she would build a big bank by the time she is done with him and she couldn't wait to see his face when that happens.“Now Strip and get on the bed.” His hoarse voice commanded and that seemed to turn her on.“Everything I can't do with my wife, I will explore with you. You will be my little whore starting tonight.” He said taking off his belt and watched as Amber took off her clothes.“So not only did he pay me handsomely without me having to ask or threatened but still wants to see me again and again. And you know what that means….” Asian was baffled at the two stacks of money Amber threw on the bed.“More money!!” They chorused excitedly

    TERRA'S POV:A WEEK LATER:Today I was meeting with my friends for lunch on a Saturday Afternoon, and our kids were with Gary and though I dropped the kids off, he looked tired already and I simply laughed at him giving him words of encouragement before leaving. Sarah, Cara and Morgan were already seated there and I sighed deeply when I saw Cara from afar sitting in floral patterned summer dress out of my company's collection, I had still not told her what happened with her brother as I had been really busy but I'm guessing with how petty of a man Connor was, he just might have told her already.The restaurant was situated in one of the club houses. I had resolved to not sign to their membership because most members were snobs and basically all they did was gossip about another person. Nonetheless, I could at least enjoy access to the beautiful restaurant as Morgan and Cara were members as they had declined Sarah's request to be a member and she had only shared that information with

And even thinking or suggesting that I would try to harm your kids knowing I would never pay your evil back to you. I really don't even think there's anything to work out between us, we can never be friends again. You broke my trust and hurt me, so just get out of here.” She ended her long speech.After she was done speaking, the ladies on the table nearby turned to look at us and Sarah and Morgan looked stunned. I, on the other hand, scoffed and chuckled humorlessly.“To be quite frank, I expected this reaction from you, so I'm not even that stunned. You must be delirious to think I am lonely and if I was, do you think your brother will be the type of man for me? You think I need an extra kid on my hands? And you want that to be the father to my kids? Are you kidding me? Tha

    TERRA'S POV:THREE MONTHS LATER:“How busy are you? ‘Cause I was thinking we can go out for lunch so I can make it up to you.” Ross suggested, and I rolled my eyes playfully at him. He knew I was mad at him for him being mad at me for worrying too much and stressing out about the kids as it was their first day at a new school.It had just been hard since the welcome party and literally settling in Salandi was hard for me in a way that it was hard for the kids.“I'm actually extremely busy right now, and I will be heading to Nina's trial as today is the sentencing. Later tonight?” I suggested and he heaved out a sigh, obviously displeased at the fact that I was headed to Nina's trial but I needed to be there. I just had the need. Everyone had been totally stunned hearing that Mrs Morris had killed herself and it was all over the news. Everyone in the golf clubs, and the elites titled the Morris as a pure disgrace, shame and waste.And I truly did not care, as long as my kids and I got

Hot tears ran down through her cheeks and her chest rose up and fell repeatedly. “Everyone will view my daughter as a criminal. How could I have given birth to such a useless being? So freaking useless!” She hit the television stand in anger and shook her head.“I have already lost. I have nothing again, no way to clear my name out of Nina's stupidity. I failed as a mother, as an elite woman in society, as everything. I am just as useless and I can't live with it….I just can't.” She cried out and continued mumbling the last sentence as she walked into the room.She grabbed a rope in her closet, mumbling the

He hadn't closed his eyes ever since the kids were kidnapped.It had been a rough twenty four hours for everybody and for Ross's little family, it had been a rough 72 hours. They had been able to give the old woman and her grandson the sum of a million for their help in finding Nina and the family was given the media space to be able to show their appreciation to Ross and Terra, letting them know it will go a long way in pulling them out of the hand to mouth lifestyle they had been living especially since the grandmother was single handedly raising the boy.“Mummy.” Eric called out from his bed with droopy eyes, and she waved at him with a smile trying her best not to wake Eleanour who was finding it hard to close her eyes.Eric was not shot neither was Ross but Terra still requested he stayed

Which is why she was more than happy when she saw that Nina had left a glass cup on a high table where farmers usually kept stuff for their animals and it was next to them.Her plan was simple, hit it repeatedly till the glass shatters to the floor, afterwards she would move in her seat and with her back facing away, she would hand Eric the glass to unloose the ropes on his hands carefully, afterwards he would unloose both hers and Eleanours. Then they run out to the nearest farm or police station and get help. And safe!This is a solid plan after all …I can do it, what could possibly go wrong?

I came out for work and for you and I met the love of my life and became a member of a very problematic family, but I guess all families have their own issues. But coming here, it was just the regular day to day activities and then trips during the holiday but coming here made me realize there's a lot more to life. And I just think…everything happens for a reason and I have experienced all I need to here.” The fact that he didn't hold me accountable or become harsh to me made me feel bad for yelling at Ross and his mother…for another person's action.“I have been thinking about moving away as well. Morgan and Sarah have been calling me everyday since they heard of this. And I totally feel the same way you felt about here and Aurenia except I didn't find the love of my life here.” We both chuckled weakly and he responded, “Yeah okay.”As they both discussed more about moving back, unbeknownst to them Ross and Evelyn, who was bringing breakfast, ove

A flier with Nina's face had been posted everywhere and according to my friends and Fiona, the entire police force was working on it.But it was just Nina….what was so hard about finding and capturing her?I had just been numb, and I could neither eat nor sleep. Last night, when I couldn't sleep, I snuck out in my own mansion in order to prevent Evelyn, who was literally everywhere, from waking up. I drove in one of my old sports cars, which allowed the cool night breeze to run through my body and blow away the tears which kept flowing and I drove to weird looking areas, banishing the thought that I might be robbed, and showed them images of Nina if they had come across her but they had nothing.A particularly shabby looking man asked for some money before providing answers, feigning that he recognised her and as soon as I handed him money, he tucked it into his pocket and

And dialed Nina's contact and placed it on a loudspeaker, the call rang for a moment and at the fourth ring, there was finally an answer making Chandler's eyes go wide in excitement.“Nina, Where are you? Tell me where are you now and what do you want?” Ross asked with desperation and the other line remained silent.“WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU?” He shouted in anger, making Chandler jump a bit.“Hello? Who is this? I just found this in the dumpster ... .What did this woman do though I don't have a television so I need some drama?” Ross clung to his hand with so much force, Chandler thought he would crush it so he quickly collected it from Ross.“Okay…okay…A dumpster where? And what's your address?” Chandler asked smartly as he believed it would lead them to Nina or maybe it was the same area.On the other hand, Terra was at the police
