The crowded was amazed to see the beautiful face behind the mask. The beauty was out of the world.Desmond and Daniella were surprised. They didn't see that coming.
"So Anabel is Orton's daughter?" Daniella asked."I always suspected it. This must be the reason the contract was denied. I can see. So my ex wife is the daughter of a billionaire? the richest man in the country?"Anabel quick picked the mask and wore it back. They danced a little before they rouded up and left the stage.Just when the party was over, Desmond and Daniella went to meet Miss Michelle and Anabel at the back."You deceived me. You are a lair. Why didn't you tell me that you are Orton's daughter?" Desmond asked."Miss Anabel Orton is sick." Miss Michelle spoke up to defend her. "I asked Anabel to perform on her behalf since she's good in dancing."Anabel knew that Desmond will come for her and asked Miss Michelle to defend her. She told herDaniella came back from a outing and saw Desmond's mom smiling and sipping her wine. Her attention was focused on the television as if she was watching the most interesting program."Welcome my daughter inlaw. I hope you bought all the things you wants." Desmond's mother asked with a broad smile.Daniella leered at her before responding, "Yeah. I can see you are enjoying yourself.""Yeah, You can see. I can't stop watching this program. You can freshen up and join me." The mother inlaw said."Don't worry, I just need to rest." Daniella replied and headed to the room. Few minutes later, the door opened and it was Desmond. She welcomed him with a kiss and helped him remove his cloths."I wonder what your mom and sister is still doing in this house" Daniella suddenly blurted out. Desmond was startled to hear her say that.He turned towards her in confusion. "You wonder what my mother and sister is doing in my house? What are yo
"What do you mean?" Desmond asked. "Stop asking me questions and do what I said. Not that I'm asking a difficult thing. You are getting married to me, Desmond. Husband and wife are meant to live together and alone. We don't need any third party around." "But we are not yet married." Desmond said, puzzling Daniella. "Are you saying you will not marry me? You want only my child?" Daniella asked in curiosity. "I never said that. I mean... we are still dating. So you don't have to demand for privacy. I can consider if we are married. But for now, we are not yet married. So don't talk about who is leaving and who is staying. Afterall, we are all big family. I don't see any need to have them leave." "I don't know why you are finding this difficult. This is what real men do. Don't tell me you are mummy's boy." "Why are you sounding this way? The last time i checked, you are not doing any house chores. My sister does that. Ever since you came into this house, you have never entered the
You should be pampering me. I need a baby treatment from all of you." "Then show some respect. You. can't just come over and change the channel without asking for permission. You're not even Desmond's wife yet, and you're acting like you own this place." Daniella's eyes flashed. "I'm Desmond's fiancée, and this is my house now. I make rules. You are the one who is even supposed to show some respect. You are supposed to take permission from me before making use of the television." "Have you gone insane? In my son's house? Remember that I'm the reason you are in this house." "And so? You rooted me for him because you know that I'm the best. It's a privilege for your son to have me. You should be happy that i accepted." "I was. but now.. I don't know what have suddenly came over you." "Nothing came over me. Just keeping you in your place and reminding you that I'm now the madam of the house. If you still wants to watch your program, you can make use of the television in your room."
Daniella got up from the seat when she saw it was Desmond. "Thank God you are here. You are just at the right time." "What is that? Is there any problem?" Desmond asked, still holding his office bag. "Your mother. She's disturbing me." Daniella reported. "She's been dragging the television with me, stressing me out." "My mom?" He turned to his mother. "Is she telling the truth?" "She's now acting victim as if I'm the problem problem here." His mother replied. "I was watching a program when she came and changed the channel without taking permission. I can't remember having any problem with her. Just talk to her because I won't take it lightly if she repeats that rubbish." "But why will you do that?" Desmond asked Daniella. "You don't change her channel without telling her. I won't like you disrespect my mother." "So you are supporting your mother right? Instead of supporting your wife, the mother of your baby." "You expect me to support you when you disrespect my mother?" Desm
"It's not entirely my fault. You are too soft to her. Make her know her place in this house. She can't come into the house and think she can control everyone. Just last week, you bought a brand new roll royce for her. You takes her to shopping everytime and even send her money. Stop giving her whatever she demands and watch her change." "The last time I checked, you are the one supporting her. You are the one to talk to her. I don't have time for all these things." Desmond said and left. When he got into the room, Daniella was lying on the bed, pressing her phone. "What have came over you, Daniella? What is the meaning of your new character? Why do you suddenly hate my mother?" "Did I said that I hate her? We need privacy, Desmond. I haven't talked about your sister. Both of then need to leave the house so we can have space. This is what you are supposed to do. You are a family man now. You need to focus on me, your wife. You need to focus on your family. Must I teach you everythi
"Daniella had refused to give me the car keys. I don't know what have came over her." Her mother complained. . "Wait a minute. .... I don't get. She took the car key and,...refused to give you? How? I don't understand." Bella was confused. The statement sounded strange on her ear. "She said she's now incharge of everything. That I will beg her before she gives it to me. Can you imagine?" "Daniella, is she telling the truth? You took the car key? When did that started? You that we brought into this house?" "It doesn't matter how I found myself here. The fact is that this is my house now, and I won't tolerate any kind of disrespect. This is my territory now and I'm setting things in order." "Setting things in order by disrespecting my mom? The other time, you stopped her from watching the television, now you are taking the Car keys on your possession. What have came over you? Remember how you got here. We are the ones that made it possible, now you are biting the finger that feeds
"We didn't! Don't you believe me?" Bella asked. "What is happening here!" Desmond's mom showed up. "Daniella is saying that we fought her. That we tried to kill her baby." "Her action called for it but we can't touch a pregnant woman. Why is she saying that we fought her?" She turned to her. "You want to cause problem between me and my son? Why are you lying." "I'm not lying." Daniella spoke up. "You said you will make sure I loose the pregnancy for refusing to give you the car keys. Desmond, you won't believe Bella was punching me on my tummy. If not that I'm strong, I would have lost the baby. My tummy is still paining me but I'm enduring it." "Why are you two so wicked? This is how both of you treated Anabel. I divorced her and accepted your choice. Now you are abusing her. I can't take this anymore." Desmond said in anger. "Wait.... don't tell me you believed what she said. She's lying against us." Bella said. "Just as you used to say when Anabel was here. She's always lyin
(A week later).."I will be going for a business trip tomorrow." Desmond announced when he came back from work."Tomorrow? That's urgent. You should have informed me on time so I can prepared." Daniella said. "Prepare?" Desmond asked. "Who said you are coming with me? This is business trip and I'm going with some top shareholders. You are not going with me.""How long is the trip?" Daniella asked."One week." Desmond replied. "Though I know how boring it can be for you. You would have stayed with my mom and sister but they are no longer around. You will be staying alone.""I don't even need them. I can sort myself out." Daniella said while thinking of what to do through out the week. Suddenly, her mind flashed to her boyfriend. She smiled, realizing how fun if will be if she invite him over. Nobody will be around to monitor her."Its just a week though. I'm sure you won't feel it much. We will be talking on video call." Desmond said, trying to make her feel good. Only if he knew th
