Chapter 4: Heartbreak
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56HEARTBREAK.
Evelyn walked out of the room in her heels and strolled past the rooms while admiring the design until her eyes met with a certain number 42. She paused and looked at the key in her hand before diverting her attention to the number on the door.
Wait, it suddenly dawned on her. She was supposed to be in Room 42 and not 24. She swallowed hard, maybe it was just her imagination. She must be overthinking things but then, she looked at the keys in her hands, there was no difference in their writing as it could be interchangeably seen as 24 instead of 42 or 42 instead of 24.
She twisted the handle of the door to settle her curiosity, the door was locked so she proceeded in using the key. There was this tiny voice in her head that was telling her that what she was about to do was wrong…that it was an invasion of privacy but there was this silent part in her that was pushing her to do this but whatever it was…she was going to do it.
She pushed the door open after unlocking it but what greeted her sight was unbearable and unbelievable. Even screaming at that moment was difficult to do.
"Hey! Are you lost?! How can you come in without knocking?" A man yelled at her. It was no other than her fiance, Jade, despite the AC, he was still sweating profusely.
No one needed to explain to an outsider what had been happening before the sudden barge-in. It was clear! It was evident and somehow outrageous because his partner in crime was no other than her stepsister, Ruby.
They were both standing naked and were even shocked to see her. But Evelyn was the most confused among them as she did not understand what was going on, maybe she shouldn't have listened to that voice but now that she has…she was so speechless.
"Evelyn, what are you doing here?" Jade asked nervously.
"You sent me a message yesterday that we were to meet in a hotel…you…you were with me last night, right?" Evelyn asked nervously.
"What the f*ck are you saying? The message was a mistake and nothing else, I didn't even call you or see you for about a week now." Jade answered back as he tied up his towel.
Evelyn shifted back in shock, if Jade wasn't the one who slept with her last night…who took her virginity then who was the man? Did she have sex with a stranger last night? But that aside, why was her step-sister with her fiance?
"But why are you with her? You cheated on me." She accused him. Jade chuckled.
"It seems that you are back on Earth. I didn't cheat on you."
"Liar! Jade, what is the meaning of all these? How could you have done such a thing as evil as this? She is my stepsister and you are my fiance!"
"And so f*cking what, huh? How dare you just enter our room like a stray dog and then start yelling at us? Do you know that this is an offense under the law? If you don't know then let me tell you, it's an invasion of privacy and you are sure guilty of it." Ruby flared up.
Evelyn turned lifeless instantly. Ruby and She didn't get along pretty well from the very time that they met each other, she was always trying to fight with her, and take what belongs to her for her greedy reasons. Until they became older, Ruby was spoiled and treated like a princess while she was made to work just to please her father but seeing her with Jade…she already crossed the line.
"Shut up! Just keep that mouth of yours shut?! How can you do this to me, Ruby? I know…I know that we don't get along pretty well but going behind my back and stabbing me is nonsense."
Ruby laughed as she stood up, she went to hug Jade in such a way considered disgusting by Evelyn. Jade wrapped his arms around her while the other hand was used in pressing her breast, Ruby then wrapped her left leg around his waist while feeling something below poking her, she moaned delightfully before glancing at her half-sister happily.
Evelyn was red from anger, her body was trembling and she was trying so hard not to cry but it was such a painful sight to see. How could he do this to her?
"It's nobody's fault that you can't please a man…it's nobody's fault that you can't take good care of the man you call your fiance. Everything else that happened is your fault so don't blame anybody." Ruby said with a wink before grinding her hips against Jade's little brother.
Evelyn couldn't watch it anymore, this was disgusting. She bolted out of the room in tears, when the receptionist saw her leaving, she tried stopping her but she entered her car and zoomed off immediately after starting the engine.
As Evelyn drove, she burst out into another fresh tear. He said the message was a mistake. That was a lie, she didn't believe it, Jade intentionally did this to annoy her, how could he?! How dare he?! Who was the man she slept with last night?! How could she be this foolish?! What is going to happen now?
PRESENT TIME.
Kira resigned from talking about the issue any further because seeing the look on her friend's face at the moment, she looked determined even more than a person who wants to win a Guinness record.
"Alright then. It is your choice and I will support it as long as it is right. You are Tom's mother so you will definitely choose the option that will be better for you two." She spoke softly while Evelyn nodded.
"Yes, thank you."
"You are welcome, now it's time for me to start my gist for the main period," Kira said with a grin.
"I am all ears."
Kira immediately turned into a parrot presenter and started talking very fast that the only name Evelyn could think of at that moment in likening her friend to was THE FLASH.
After much free time talking and eating snacks, Kira decided to leave. It was a special moment for them and Evelyn made sure to call Kira every five minutes to check up on her until she arrived home.
A FEW DAYS LATER.
"Yay, free time." Evelyn squealed and bounced on her bed with her laptop. She was putting on a transparent black top and yellow bum shorts to go with it.
Her hair was tied into a messy bun style and she had glasses on that made her look professional. It's been a few days since she arrived here, Tom was spending almost all his time with Kira at her place so staying at home alone was cooler than she imagined.
Since it's been days since she arrived here with her son, she just wanted them to start afresh. She logged into her system and went to certain different websites to search for good schools that she could probably afford. That was the only thing that Kira did not do on their behalf; find a better school for her son.
While scrolling through the list of schools, she came across one that caught her attention.
"Primus international kids." She muttered the name as her eyes read it. She quickly clicked on the link to read the School's prospectus and to say that she didn't love it was a lie. She was so interested in this school that she didn't think twice before filling out the registration form online and submitting it.
If it was about the payment, she had no problem with it. Anything she did, as long as it was for Tom, she wouldn't mind diving into the deepest part of the ocean for his sake.
After finishing Tom's school, she checked her emails but she was yet to receive any. Since she arrived, she has been looking for companies that required a secretary. Because of the incident that happened to her three years ago, she had to start taking online classes and it helped a lot but staying at home while hopefully awaiting answers was crazy for her.
____________
"What's next in my schedule, Jeremy?" Raphael asked as he blew air into his hot cocoa.
"The Chairman has ordered that you visit Primus international kids tomorrow. He said that it is very important." Jeremy replied.
"Yes, he says that all the time." Raphael mocked and closed his eyes.
"Clear my schedule for tomorrow then."
"Alright, boss."
Raphael still couldn't get one thing straight, why was his dad so much invested in this school? It could not be because he loved kids that much. Maybe he wanted to make his business out of it. It was confusing for him but he had no choice but to obey. After all, it was just a mere visit and nothing else.

I DON'T WANT TO GO TO SCHOOL.Later in the evening, Kira dropped her godson off with the promise to catch up with him some other time. Evelyn decided to walk her through the door."So, how was it?" Kira asked."It went well. I finally found a school for him, Primus International Kids." Evelyn replied and Kira was stunned that she stopped walking for a moment."Seriously?" Kira questioned and Evelyn nodded."Yes, why do you look so dumb?"Kira laughed and they continued walking."My facial expression wasn't dumb, it only screamed shock.""Shock? Why are you shocked?" Evelyn asked with confusion."The school is quite expensive, Eve. Will you be able to afford it for long?" Kira asked worriedly and Evelyn smiled."Yes, don't worry. I have already gone through everything about the school and it is okay for his studies. I believe that I will be able to get a job very soon…a very good one. Thank you.""You are welcome."They both had another fun discussion until the cab that Kira ordered ar

SON MEETS FATHER [1]They arrived at the school's gate and the mother and son pair were stunned. The school was even more beautiful than Evelyn had seen on the internet. Tom was also happy that he would start attending this big and beautiful school. Suddenly, all his sadness for school disappeared and he was now eager to be in school uniforms just like his mates that he was seeing.Evelyn got closer to the security guard and greeted him. He was a middle-aged man, judging from his looks and he probably had the strength to fight off any physical attack that did not include the use of a gun or any sharp objects. At least, schools were now thinking twice before employing security personnel, and considering that this was like a rich kid school, the security was tight.This made Evelyn happy because she remembered the last school that Tom attended in Country B. It was nothing like this one in terms of looks, teachings, uniforms, etc. But there was one incident that happened back then that s

SON MEETS FATHER [2]Tom was staring at the incredibly handsome man in front of him who just called him handsome too then he thought, should he follow his mother's teachings on not talking to a stranger or should he talk to this handsome man so he would buy him ice cream? What option should he go for?Raphael was still bent on his knees, he was staring at the green eyes dude. For a reason not known to him, he felt attached to the kid and his heart seemed to quicken fast while awaiting his response. He was speechless while awaiting Tom to speak back to him."Hello, handsome." Tom finally replied with a cheesy smile, he wasn't going to let go of this offer. Moreover, who would want to harm or kidnap a small and cute boy like him in this big school? Nobody!Raphael was completely charmed by his voice and his smile that he couldn't help laughing."I see where that is leading. What exactly do you want?""An ice cream." He pointed.Raphael then stood up and looked at the vendor who immediat
Mummy, My Dad Is Super Rich Chapter 8: It's Her
IT'S HER.Evelyn gave a lot of mathematical equations to Tom later in the evening and watched him work both his sense and nonsense in the rough book. That was his punishment. She was sitting on her bed while he lay on the floor with a bottle of coke and a bag of chips just like her.She would, once in a while, take a look at him and the expression he had on his face was so glorious to see, the expression of the pain of having to solve the most annoying subject in the universe.Evelyn sipped her coke and then received mail on her laptop. She clicked on it quickly after seeing the sender; THEO GROUP OF INDUSTRIES.With anxiousness, she read the message and almost screamed for joy…well, she later did because she couldn't contain the joy within her. She was called for an interview. Her joyous scream startled Tom, his heart felt like it dropped into a well when he heard that."Mom, what is wrong?" He asked."Nothing is wrong. Everything is just fine, my dear. I am being called to come to o
Mummy, My Dad Is Super Rich Chapter 9: Personal Assistant
PERSONAL ASSISTANT.Raphael's eyes were glued on her, he couldn't be mistaken. There was no way he was mistaken about her.Evelyn who had been standing there for minutes was feeling tired of standing but there was nothing she could do. The man was staring at her, but not in a way that cringed her or infuriated her, it was just…something else.She felt like they had both met before but where could she have met him? And there was no way she would forget such a gorgeous face if she indeed met him.Point two was that it was like she was seeing the mini version of Tom in him. They looked so much alike. Was he…? What the hell was she even thinking about? And apart from that, he looked charming and handsome. He looked different from other rich young men she came across, especially Jade. His manner of sitting, the way his office was arranged, and then his piercing gaze, why was he focusing this much on her? Was something perhaps wrong with her dressing or maybe she looked weird?"Excuse me, s
Mummy, My Dad Is Super Rich Chapter 10: Confused
CONFUSED.It has been a few days since Evelyn has been working under Raphael. She felt so happy and relaxed at work, she felt no pressure and made a few colleagues. She got introduced to what was going on around the company and it was fun.Even Jeremy wasn't left out, he was super nice and her boss, she didn't have a perfect description for him at all because he was all bossy and only kept things professional. He was very strict too, no one was excluded from his wrath or displeasure.There was a time when she made a mistake in the calculations, she almost got buried under the ground."What the hell is this, Miss Evelyn?" Raphael barked at her and her heart skipped a bit."How…what do you mean, Mr. Raphael?" She stuttered."What kind of mistake is this, huh? You made a mistake in the calculations. Do you know how dangerous this is especially for me? You don't, do you? Well, let me tell you in case you don't know. If I was to take this to the Chairman and he gave it to the board for the

TORN AND REJECTED."Mum, another one." Tom opened his mouth for a snack known as "Chin Chin", at least that was what Kira said the name was.Even though tonight was their first time seeing and eating it, it was so tasty. When Evelyn inquired about it, her friend said it was a Nigerian-made snack that was made by a colleague of hers so she decided to share hers.Evelyn put another one as requested by Tom into his mouth while they continued watching the news. Tom saw no need to watch it as he busied himself with playing games on his mum's iPad. Evelyn felt so relaxed and happy when something popped up on the screen, and her smile faded away just as it did three years ago.On the screen was her father's picture, the name of her family, and a picture of their company."... it's been observed by our media personalities that the company that is being headed by a famous businessman, Hezekiah Johnson, has been going through an internal turmoil based on the fact or excuse that for the past thr
Mummy, My Dad Is Super Rich Chapter 12: Nervous
NERVOUS.Dan and Raphael were having a staring contest with their drinks in opposite hands. One was having a pessimistic look, the other was having an optimistic look."So, let me get this straight, I am an uncle now," Dan asked to be sure again."Whose uncle? Are we related?" Raphael glared."You'd better take it easy. We still don't know what to do in this situation. But are you sure? What if the child belongs to someone else? Or maybe she met another person and they both had sex? Something like that?" Dan tried creating the possible reasons."No. She told me that she was single, and the child looks like me as well. I was just not expecting to be a father so soon though I am glad about it.""But are you planning to keep this a secret from her forever?" Dan asked and crossed his legs."No, I am not planning to but I have studied her well enough that she doesn't like mixing with others and she tries to keep herself out of public issues or problems. I don't know if she likes me or hate

CHAPTER 80: THE END; WILD NIGHT.Evelyn finished showering. She was in Raphael's penthouse and Tom insisted on staying at Kira's place. She didn't know if that was willingly or if he was bribed to stay. She looked at the lingerie that Kira had insisted that she buy for Raphael's sake. She still remembered the conversation they had."Don't you think he will see me as being cheap?" She asked as she ransacked her hands through the lingerie."See as cheap? What? No, he even knows how hard he had to work just to get you so you ain't cheap my dear.""But it still feels kind of thrilling.""Have you two kissed?" Kira whispered."Yeah," Evelyn replied."Don't you feel like moving forward a bit?" Evelyn blushed and hit her friend with the lingerie before walking away."Fine then, I will buy it."Raphael came into the room with his phone in his hand when Evelyn released the bathrobe she was wearing. It was such perfect timing."Evelyn, do you…what the hell?" His eyes widened. His eyes slowly ate

He tried hard to remember what had happened the night before but his memories were hazy for him.Then his head snapped to the television in front of him, the picture of Raphael was there and his eyes opened clearly as he tried his best to listen."The second son of the Theophilus family, Raphael Theophilus has been confirmed to be the solidified owner of the new mega-company, Exclusive North Star [ENS]. The news came as a shock to everyone when this was announced and along with the news of his company was the information of his called-off engagement with the A-list actress, Erica.Not many know the reason why this came up but the Billionaire made mention of sticking to his family and being responsible as a father and loving husband alongside being th

There wasn't much to do, it felt as if she was living life on repeat for the past few months. Before she could take a spoon, the doorbell rang and it made her pause, wondering who it was. Kira would have called to inform her of her coming if it was her so who could it be?Tom stared at the door for a while, and so did his mother before she eventually stood up to answer it. When she opened the door, she was faced with the biggest surprise ever. Raphael was standing right in front of her, holding a box that she assumed was filled with pizza and maybe something else."Raphael." She whispered and he smiled. Tom stood up and came to their side. His eyes widened when he saw him and instantly cried out."Daddy."Raphael put down the box and lifted the happy Tom, he used this opportunity to enter the house without being asked to.

Our engagement is just a few days away and I think it's gonna be special."Raphael yawned and nodded, "Call off the engagement."The smile on her face was wiped off completely when she heard this. She instantly put on a frown."What do you mean by calling off the engagement? I don't understand.""I believe that I am speaking the official language of the country correctly. CALL OFF THE ENGAGEMENT. Even a kid in basic class understands what I am saying.""Well, I don't. How can you just tell me to call off my engagement with you? It's impossible!

CHAPTER 76: IT'S ALL COMING DOWN TONIGHT [1]Micheal wore his suit and clicked his cufflinks as he checked himself in the mirror. He seemed of utmost pride as Shaft had invited him to join in his family's dinner party. This was a way for him to relieve stress, he glanced at his beautiful wife and opened his arm for her to hook hers with."You look amazing." He complimented."And you look gorgeous as ever. Old age does not affect you, darling."Micheal kissed her and they both walked out of their bedroom, climbing down the stairs as elegantly as ever. Raphael, who was sitting down, stood up to greet his father."Good evening, father.""Raphael." Michael acknowledged his greeting."Where is Vegas?" He asked him."He is probably busy.""Busy? Doesn't he know about the special occasion we have this evening? Try his number for me.""Unfortunately, I don't have it," Raphael responded."How can you not have your brother's number?

CHAPTER 75: IN A HURRY."Why do I feel like my meeting here with you is more than a mere greeting?" Vincent asked as he played with a toy card. He blew out the smoke from his cigarettes and put them down on the ashtray. He locked eyes with Raphael whose legs were crossed against each other."And congratulations on your new company that is completely sucking the life out of your father." He added and Raphael chuckled coldly."How did you know?" He asked him."I am not a son of the mafia for nothing. All the rich men in the city are people that I keep a close watch on probably for profit's sake. So why are we here?""I believe that you already know the reason.""You don't want to get married to my sister," Vincent replied and Raphael nodded."Smart of you." He complimented while Vincent smirked.He was young but not dumb. He had been in the business since ten years old and he had been taught to get who a person is from close observation. He knew from the start that Raphael wasn't dumb,

CHAPTER 74: ALL IS FAIR IN LOVE AND WAR."Who is the establishment? What is going on?" Micheal yelled at his assistant in the conference room. They were currently holding a meeting with a few people around. The room was as chill as a home for kept stock fish. Raphael folded his arms as he watched everyone."I…I don't know, sir. Many of our investors are withdrawing from us. If care isn't taken, we might lose them all to the new company." He replied.That was true. Even though Raphael and the rest had been trying their best for the growth of the family business, there was this particular business that had risen from nowhere in the last four months and was already taking the lead as it was solely based on what Theo's group of industries had to offer.They were making more gains than them and what was even more frustrating was that the owner was unknown. It felt as if the person was in darkness, shooting an arrow of victory toward their opponents."What should we do? I am confused. Send

It's been five months since everything happened and a few things had changed in his life alongside others.A man approached him and bowed. He collected the travel bag that Raphael was holding and pulled it away to the trunk of the car while Raphael got into the car before shutting the door after him.As the driver drove, his eyes ran across the whole building. He left the country three months ago for a business trip and he had been busy…a lot of things piled up for him and he felt emotionally drained. As the car went past a couple standing by the roadside, showcasing their love publicly, Raphael's heart ached and he touched the position on his chest before rolling up the window.After a few minutes of driving, the car finally arrived at the mansion. Raphael exited the car and walked into the mansion while the travel bag was brought in. The first person he saw wa

CHAPTER 72: SHE IS GONE AGAIN!Raphael walked down the staircase quickly. His hands were searching all over his pockets for his car keys. He was inside the room earlier going through a lot of files when he randomly picked up his phone to call Evelyn. He switched it on.It's been a while since he spoke to her and it made him guilty. How would she react? Many thoughts went through his mind. Raphael put down his phone again and closed his eyes.He had not been brave to face her, he was just ashamed but then he was pushed to call her. So after scrolling to her contact, he received a notification beforehand and clicked on it. It was a message from Evelyn and after reading it, his mind became unsettled. His brain couldn't comprehend the details after his eyes landed on the'Until we meet again, Raphael.'He dashed out of the room immediately.
