Tanya walked into her class with so much confidence. She immediately noticed Bryce who sat closer to where Derek was. She walked straight to him to return his sweater. He looked at her with so much surprise and when he couldn't control himself anymore said,"Oh my God! Tanya, is this you? If it weren't for your uniquely beautiful face, I would have mistaken you for someone else"Tanya smiled and said "Thank you, Bryce. Your words are sweet."Bryce suddenly snatched the phone Tanya was holding and said, "no way! Is this an iPhone thirteen pro max? Who are you and what have you done with Tanya?"Tanya laughed even more and took the phone back from Bryce. His voice had been so loud that it attracted the attention of the other students. They were all staring at Tanya now. Even Sheila observed Tanya and noticed that both her clothes and shoes were from the Louis Vuitton collection."How did an ugly duckling become a princess overnight?" Sheila asked herself. She wore the most expensive des
Tanya returned Sheila's slap with twice as much force. It was so intense that Sheila ended up falling on the desk by her right. Sheila screamed as her face contorted in pain. Derek who had always avoided any drama involving girls quietly walked back to his seat without saying a word or trying to interfere in their fightSheila held her cheek with her hand and said, "Just wait and see what I'll do to you, Tanya." Tanya rolled her eyes in mockery. She knew that the worst thing that could probably happen was for her to lose her scholarship and she didn't mind anymore. After all, she now had the money to pay her fees.All these years, she had put up with a lot of rubbish from students because she couldn't afford to pay her fees. She had once even asked her grandmother to send her to a public school but she had refused and said that the public schools were too rough and the private school was the best.In the end, she struggled to maintain her scholarship in a private school but still ende
Colby Tanner allowed Tanya to cry without stopping her. When she eventually wiped her tears he said to her, "crying doesn't solve problems, at least that's what I've learned so go ahead and tell me what happened."Tanya told Colby about everything that happened. He praised her for fighting Sheila back and assured her that he was going to take care of everything. Picking up his phone, he called the principal of Tanya's school.When he saw Colby Tanner's call, the principal became afraid. He had already dealt with Tanya according to Sheila's and her father's requests. Could it be that they were not satisfied and reported him to Colby Tanner?When he finally answered the call, Colby said, "Mr. Flynn, I'm coming to see you right away. Don't go anywhere."The principal immediately refused, saying, "there's no need for you to come here, Mr. Tanner. I know that you are a very busy man. Please just tell me what you need me to do""For this issue, I need to be there so stay put. I'm coming rig
When Tanya went back to the class, her classmates surrounded her. Some praised her for getting a Job at Tanner conglomerates while others begged her to help them get jobs there as well. She was over the moon when Derek approached her and congratulated her for being able to secure a job in such a place while she was still in high school and asked that they became friends.No one suspected her relationship with Colby Tanner because the rumors about him stated that after he lost his wife, he never got involved with women and rejected those who threw themselves at him.When Sheila came back and saw most of her classmates fawning over Tanya, including Derek and her minions, she was livid with rage. But, there was nothing she could do about it as she had now realized that Tanya was way out of her league.Tanya couldn't help but feel warm toward Colby Tanner. He had been nothing but good to her. She thought of what she could do to make him happy but realized that he wanted just one thing fro
Tanya opened her eyes, looked at Colby Tanner, and smiled. That was all the encouragement he needed as he went ahead to take off her bra. He fondled her breasts with his hands and began to pleasure her with his mouth. Tanya closed her eyes once again as soft moans escaped her lips. Colby Tanner was very gentle and patient with her because he knew that it was her first time.Even though Tanya was completely wet inside, she felt grave discomfort when Colby tried to enter her, she instinctively opened her eyes and pushed him with her hands. He coaxed her gently and assured her that it was going to get better with time. She closed her eyes and winced in pain when Colby finally entered her. He kissed her lips passionately as he slowly thrust into her. Tanya soon forgot about her initial pain and began to moan loudly when she got carried away. Colby intensified his thrusts and in no time, Tanya's body shook when she experienced a sweet orgasm. However, Colby was not yet done with her. Sh
Tanya's grades dropped a lot and she lost her scholarship but it wasn't a problem for her because she still had the black card Colby had given her and could afford to pay her fees. She began to fear that Colby Tanner was losing interest in her as he no longer spent as much time with her as he used to. He insisted that she called before coming to see him and most times when she called, he would ask her not to come over because he was very busy.Colby had never told her that he loved her so she wasn't sure about his feelings for her but Tanya knew that she was in love with him. Her graduation was only one week away so she decided that on that day, she would confess her feelings to Colby and tell him what his existence meant to her.As Tanya walked home sadly, she thought about what Colby Tanner may have planned for her. Her graduation was tomorrow so she was sure that he definitely had a surprise for her. She had wanted to see him today but he refused and said that he was very busy and
Colby kept looking at Sandra's face as it brought back memories of his late wife whom he had loved so much. Sandra said to him, "even if nobody else does, I know what's in your heart so I know that Tanya is nothing but a pastime for you."Colby Tanner replied, "well, I would agree that time does pass by quickly when she's around but.." Before Colby could complete his sentence, Sandra kissed him. Tanya could not bear to watch it anymore. She dropped Colby Tanner's black card which she was holding on the floor and quickly ran out of Tanner Conglomerate.Meanwhile, Colby Tanner pushed Sandra away and warned, "don't ever try that again. The only reason why I am not kicking you out right now is because of my late wife. Don't push your boundaries."Sandra immediately apologized but Colby Tanner continued without replying to her apology. "Like I was saying, time passes by whenever I am with Tanya but that's only because I am in love with her."Sandra opened her eyes in surprise, "what? I tho
Tanya Finally arrived at her destination. She looked at the piece of paper in her hands and began to ask around. It was already dark so she feared that if she couldn't find the house, she would be in trouble.She was finally shown the house and it looked bad, really bad. The house she left behind was so beautiful when compared to this house. She convinced herself that it didn't matter. What she needed right now was a haven and if this house was going to provide it for her, then that was all that mattered.As she rang the bell, an elderly lady came and opened the door. The moment Tanya saw her, she knew she was at the right place because the woman had a striking resemblance to her late grandma.The woman looked at her suspiciously and asked, "do you guys now sell your products at night? I don't have any money so please go away."Tanya looked at her in surprise. When she tried to close the door, Tanya stopped her and said, "Granny Ann, it's me, Tanya. I am the granddaughter of Grandma L
Colby had just arrived at the scene when he saw Sandra push Tanya into the lake. He screamed, "no," and ran out of his car as he ran toward the lake.Sandra stared at him in shock, unable to believe that Colby had caught her in the act. Colby dived into the lake without any hesitation.Meanwhile, Sandra heard sirens blaring and knew that the police had arrived. She did not believe that Colby would send her to jail because he had made a promise to her late sister.However, she was afraid that if the police arrested her there, her face would be all over the news. She decided to run but at that moment, the police officers surrounded her and pointed their guns at her. Colby took Tanya out of the lake and laid her on her back. She had lost consciousness already but he quickly untied her hands, freed her mouth, and applied compressions on her chest until she inhaled and coughed out water from both her nose and mouth.As she stared at Colby, Tanya began to cry. Colby looked at Sandra who had
Sandra quickly pulled Tanya's body out from under the bed and carried her out of the room. She left through the back door and Colby knew that she had come in through the back gate. Someone must have opened it for her.He sent the important parts of the footage to Henry and sent him Sandra's pictures, address, phone number and every other information he felt would be useful to Henry.The police chief quickly sent some officers to Sandra's house and began trying to track her location using her phone number and satellite. Colby paced up and down restlessly as he waited for Henry to get back to him.He tried calling Sandra's number so many times but could not get through to her. He regretted leaving Tanya all by herself. He should have been there with her or gotten her a bodyguard at least. If anything happened to Tanya, he would never be able to forgive himself.Their wedding was already twenty minutes behind schedule and calls were coming in but Colby ignored them because he wasn't in t
In the days leading up to Colby's wedding with Tanya, he spent most of his time working in the office while Tanya spent most of her time trying to catch up in college.This was because Colby had promised her that they were going on a one week trip for their honeymoon. Tanya had no idea where he was taking her since he had insisted that it was a surprise but, she was excited all the same and hoped that the experience would be similar to the one she enjoyed in the Bahamas.In a twinkle of an eye, the day finally arrived. Maria had tried using different numbers to call Tanya and when she did not succeed, she sent her husband to convince Tanya to let him stand in as her father and give her away since they were the only relatives she had left.However, Tanya said, "Colby Tanner is both my father and my mother so do not burden yourself with trying to take on that role. When I need someone to step in, Colby will be there. "After she hung up, her uncle angrily complained to Matt, asking him
"I said yes to the love of my life." Tanya wrote before posting her pictures with Colby on her social media account.Ever since Colby proposed to her, Tanya had felt as though she was living a dream. A few times she had asked Colby to pinch her to confirm to herself that she wasn't dreaming.Her weekend vacation with Colby in the Bahamas had given her some of the sweetest moments of her life. They went swimming together, ate breakfast at the luxurious paradise hotel, and gazed at the stars together at night. She had so many pictures of the brief time they spent and she had almost cried when Colby reminded her that it was time to go back home.He assured her that they would visit again but she knew it wasn't going to be the same. After taking almost two days to pick out some lovely pictures and asking for Colby's opinion, she finally posted the pictures that showed when Colby went on his knees and proposed to her, when they were dancing on the yacht, having breakfast at the paradise ho
Tanya frowned at Colby, "who was it that said, 'everything you need has been packed by me' and yet ended up bringing along only bikinis and swimsuits?"Colby chuckled, "did you really not see your other clothes in the room?"Tanya rolled her eyes while Colby smiled and held her hand as he said, "come with me."He took her back into the room and straight to the closet. Tanya was surprised because she had not noticed the closet before, probably because it did not look like one on the outside. Colby opened it and showed her three different gowns, two pairs of jeans, and two shirts.Tanya covered her face and laughed while Colby said, "I put them here while you were sleeping to make it easier for you. I also left you enough hints about having a surprise for you tonight. I was hoping that you would come out dressed in one of these sexy gowns. Who would have thought that you would come out wearing a swimsuit?""I made a mistake," Tanya replied. "I should have checked properly. I will get dr
Colby and Tanya had lunch in their bedroom inside the yacht. After that, they sat on the bed and sorted out the pictures Tanya had taken and picked the ones that were good enough to be posted on Instagram.Tanya made sure she tagged her cousin, Matt in the post and kept staring at her phone to see if he would react to the pictures.She got some likes and comments from people she didn't even know and thanked them for their kind words. Matt finally reacted with surprise emojis while Tanya screamed in excitement.He messaged her privately and asked, "are you really in the Bahamas?""Yes," Tanya replied. "I'm currently in a yacht and it's so beautiful. I know how much you like this place, perhaps on my next visit, I'll bring you and aunt Maria with me so you can enjoy yourselves as well."When he read Tanya's words, Matt quickly recalled what his mum had said to Tanya years ago and said, "forget it Tanya. I know my mum was horrible to you and I haven't forgotten, don't worry, I will make
Colby pulled Tanya closer to his body and hugged her, "I'm so sorry about everything you suffered in the past, Tanya. I contributed to the sufferings you and your grandma faced back then and for that, I am truly sorry."Tanya stared at him in surprise, "what are you talking about?"Colby hesitated because he was afraid of Tanya's reaction but he did not want them to hide things from each other. He believed that they were at a stage where they could trust each other completely so, after what seemed like an eternity, he said, "back when you and your granny were thrown out of the house, I arranged for it to happen because I wanted you to come running to me. I was desperate and what I did was wrong. I have no excuse for it. "Tanya's eyes widened as tears rolled down get cheeks. She got up and ran towards the toilet while Colby ran after her. She closed the door on him before he could get to her and cried her heart out while inside.She recalled how her granny had cried that day and how sh
Tanya stared at the luggage in front of her in surprise, "is this the only bag I will be taking with me on our trip?" "Yes, it is," Colby replied. "it's just two days, baby and you were so indecisive about what to take with you so I did some shopping, and trust me, everything you need for this trip is right inside this bag."Tanya smiled, "how can you be so sure? What if there's something you forgot to include?""That is not possible," Colby replied confidently. "listen to me, baby girl, I've been to the Bahamas before and so I can say that everything you need is in there. We should get going now, our pilot has been waiting for so long."Tanya thought for a while and finally said, "Okay, I'm choosing to trust you but if you fail me, you will not hear the last of it."Colby laughed before leading the way out of the house. He opened the door of the car for Tanya and said, "this way, ma'am."Tanya took the passenger seat and said, "thank you, sir."They soon arrived at the hangar and as
The private investigator came into the house and they all exchanged pleasantries. After that, he went straight to the point and said, "I was able to put the listening device on Shelia and stayed around until I got the information I wanted. As usual, Derek arrived and they spent time discussing a lot of things. I've trimmed out the boring parts and I know that their conversation will interest you."He played the audio from his phone and in it, Sheila could be heard saying, "I told you not to bring up this Colby Tanner issue again but you are bent on it, Derek. The boyfriend I got who works in Colby's control room was released yesterday along with others and he did not rat us out so let's just cut our losses and forget about this."Derek said, "no Sheila, I've put all my hope on inheriting Colby's wealth when he's gone. I've told you that Tanya is easy to manipulate so how can we let go of such a good opportunity? The first plan was a near success, it was just bad that Colby wasn't the
