"Hey, stop right there." Daniella said as she approached her along with Desmond. "What can I do for you?" Anabel asked, folding her hands. "How did you managed to get inside? You want to cause more troubles?" Desmond asked. "She's still jealous of us. She couldn't take it. I'm sure she bribed to those guys to get inside." "I don't need to bribe anyone to get inside. Without me, this ceremony will be useless. And for both of you, you guys will regret ever coming here." "Don't push me to the wall to call security guys for you." Desmond threatened. "You better don't because if they come, both of you will be the ones to get kicked out." Anabel fired back. "Who do you think you are?" Daniella asked. "Just because you are sleeping with high profile people, you think you can rub shoulders with us. Better know your place." "You said you got the one billion dollars contract for him right?" "What business do you have with it? Don't even think you can stop him from signing." Daniella s
"What did you just do? Do you know the implication of what you have done? I can see you have gone insane." Daniella was angry and furious. "Don't worry, Honey. Tearing the contract paper doesn't mean the end of the deal. It's just a paper." Desmond said to Daniella before turning his attention on Anabel. "Anabel, I wonder how you think that tearing the contract will end the deal. With your status and how dumb you are, you don't understand how corporate alliances work. My partnership with Zacklid group is not something a few torn papers can change.""Yeah, tearing the contract won't change anything. But you will be punished for it." Daniella added. "Tearing the contract is disrespectful to Zacklid group and you will pay for it. ""I wonder who is going to do that when I'm in charge here." Anabel smiled."The assistant is here!" A voice was heard right far at the back."You see? I told you to leave on time and you refused. You are in trouble now. The assistant is here and nobody is goi
At this moment, Daniella knew she was in trouble. She had to do anything possible to make Desmond stand by her. "Are you believing this actress?" Daniella asked Desmond. "Anabel must have hired her to pretend as Zacklid group assistant manager. You don't have to panic. They are not real." "Are you saying that she's an imposter?" Desmond asked."Yes. She must be an imposter.""How dare you call me an imposter?" Miss Margaret asked."Don't deny it. You are not what you pose you are." Daniella said and turned to Anabel. "You better leave there and apologize to me before Zacklid arrives.""If he comes, you will be the one to Apologize." Anabel replied and just then, the entrance door opened wide. Everyone looked, it was Mr. Zacklid. A powerful looking man in white suit. He looked great in his outfit. It was as if the president of the country was coming. He have more than ten body guards following him. Daniella panicked, how will she defend herself.As he approached Miss Margaret, the ha
(Few Days Later)The longer Daniella stared down at the phone number displayed on the screen, the more urged she got to smash the phone onto the ground. "What do these damned people want from Desmond?" Daniella said through her teeth before she cut the call for the fifth time. But each time she ended the call, the more intense the next call came in and it was only fuelling her rage. Bella had been calling Desmond phone but he wasn't around to pick up. Daniella who was in the room., doesn't want to pick the call. She restrained herself from slamming the phone back on the table when the next call came in. She couldn't take it any longer and picked the call when the phone number kept calling in. "And what the hell do you want now?" Daniella couldn't help the hate that was seeping in through her voice while she held the phone tightly to her right ear. "Desmond... Brother... please you have to help us!" Bella's voice resounded from the other end of the phone mistaking Daniella f
Desmond walked into the room and met Daniella already asleep on the bed. He was surprised that she was still fast asleep at that time of the day. A confused look rested on his face when he saw his phone resting next to her. He shook his head slightly and picked up the phone without suspecting a thing and walked out immediately. when Daniella woke up, she couldn't find the phone. She suspected that Desmond must have came to take his phone.Daniella stood up from the bed with a frown on her face and went towards the window to lean against the mansion she now called home. Daniella's thoughts were anything but serene. Her manicured fingers drummed against the windowpane as she stared out at the perfectly landscaped garden.“They think they can just waltz back into Desmond’s life,” she muttered under her breath, with her voice laced with hate. “I have a mission in this house and I won't let any of them be an obstacle. T.”Daniella’s lips curled into a tight smile, one that didn’t reach h
Few hours ego, Anabel came for check up regarding her pregnancy. She had been feeling some pains in her stomach, so she came to check herself. Her hands were clasped together in her lap as she chatted with the doctor after the test had been done."You don't have any kind of complications. Everything looks great." The doctor said with a smile as he view through her result. "Your baby is healthy and developing right on schedule. The pain is just a normal stomach trouble. I will give you a drug that will stop the pain. "Anabel beamed with happiness when she heard the doctor say that. She was happy it wasn't a complication. She had been a little worried about the pregnancy, but it seemed like everything was going to be okay.While they were still talking, a nurse bursted into the room,looking scared and frazzled. "I'm sorry to interrupt, Sir." She apologized before she continued. "We have a serous situation with one of our patient. Her health is at risk, and if we don't do something imm
Bella headed to her mother's ward to see her. As she approached her mother's room, she reached out to grab the door handle, but to her surprise, it was locked. She frowned, wondering why the door was locked. She could hear some people murmuring in the room, along with the sound of beeping machines.Bella's curiosity got the better of her, and she leaned in to peer through the small glass window. What she saw made her heart swell with happiness.The nurses were busy attending to her mother, administering medication and checking her body. Her mother looked pale and weak, but she was stable, and the nurses seemed to be taking good care of her.Bella felt a wave of gratitude wash over her. Whoever had paid for her mother's treatment had given her hope. As she stood there, watching the nurses care for her mother, Bella felt a sense of peace settle over her. She knew that her mother was in good hands, and that she would receive the best care possible.She turned away from the window and l
Daniella couldn't control the rage that was eating deep into her, her heart was thumping hard against her chest as she made her way to the room. She was angry that Desmond had gone to the hospital to visit them. "That wasted bastard, Bella, I know that she is the one responsible for this." Daniella was fuming in anger as she ran her hands through her hair. "What am I going to do now? They have told him a blocked her number." Daniella said to herself. She had to do something fast before things went south between her and Desmond. A thought suddenly dropped into Daniella's mind, and she had to act fast. She got dressed and went to pick up the car key. Unfortunately, it wasn't there. Desmond had left with it. "Dam it, Desmond. He's gone out with my car again. He took my car to go see those peasants!" She seethed. "Was he doing all these to spite me?!" Daniella had to pause for a moment to question herself. "I'm sure he is. And I'm going to show that bastard not to mess wi
As they were talking, the doorbell rang. Leonard knew who were knocking and went to open the door for them. When he opened the door, it was five of his friends as he expected. "Happy birthday, Leonard!" his friends cheered as they entered, carrying gifts and bottles of champagne. The room was quickly filled with more friends. They settled in, ready to celebrate with him. Daniella played the perfect hostess, ensuring that everyone had a drink and felt comfortable even though she was pregnant. They didn't waste time in lightening the cake and wishing him well when he brew it. Soon, the party kicked into high gear and Leonard's friends took turns sharing funny stories and toasting to his health and happiness. After a few rounds of drinks, someone suggested playing a game to lighten things up. "How about we play 'Never Have I Ever'?" One of Leonard's friends suggested with a mischievous grin on his face. The group agreed, and they gathered in a circle, each person holding a drink. Th
Hello dear readers, Sorry about the previous chapter. It was a mistake and I have changed it to the right chapter. It's going to be approved soon. I'm so sorry....The next day, Daniella woke up before Desmond and prepared breakfast for him. She kept her demeanor calm, masking the excitement that was bubbling in her heart.Desmond got prepared and wore his suit. He was surprised when Daniella called him for his breakfast. He didn't say anything about it but hoped it would continue that way.When Desmond finished his breakfast, he kissed Daniella on her forehead. "Be very careful when you get there. Don't stay late. I want you to come back on time. See you later in the evening." "It's alright." Daniella replied and Desmond grabbed his office box and made his way out to the entrance door. "Have a great day at work." Daniella said from behind, but deep down, she knew she wasn't even going to come late, she would sleep over and enjoy her night with Leonard.Just as Daniella heard his
Later that day, when afternoon had come, Vicky waddled to the room of the couple and knocked. Without waiting for a response to come, she pushed the door open. Mike and Jennifer had just finished another round. While Jennifer was still lying down from the heavy bang she had gotten from Mike, the man stood gallantly with a towel wrapped around his waist. He had just finished having his bath. Vicky pushed the door open at the same moment he unwrapped the towelfrom his waist. “Good mor—” She was going to greet them. But the rest of her words got stuck in her mouth. She was stunned to see the build-up of Mike's muscles— thick biceps, broad and muscular chests, thick abs, muscular thighs and firm legs. Vicky always knew that he was gallant. But then, she never expected him to look so good. All she could find herself thinking of was Mike pressing his muscular body into hers. “Vicky?” Jennifer called her sister while sitting up and grabbing the bedspread tightly.Vicky was suddenly broug
"I know it sounds like a lot of money, but it's a special occasion, and I want to make it memorable for her. Besides, I've been meaning to get some new clothes for a while now.""You went for shopping just few days ego and here you are, asking for another money. Not even a small amount. Fifty thousand dollars. Do you want to make me broke?""Fifty thousand dollars will not make you broke. I need this." "Don't you have conscience?""I have conscience. I understand the situation and that is why I didn't mention two hundred thousand dollars. I just want to manage the fifty thousand dollars." Daniella said."Manage fifty thousand dollars? I can see how ungrateful you are. Were you spending like this before we met?""And what is wrong in spending on a woman who is carrying your child? I want to dress fine because of you. I represent you. And stop talking as if I'm not making any effort for our well being.""If you care, you won't be talking about this. It's not even your birthday. It's yo
The next day, Desmond had came back from work and was flipping through the channels on TV when Daniella, who was busy on with her phone suddenly spoke up."Honey, I need to talk to you about something important," Daniella said and Desmond glanced up from the remote control, his brow furrowing slightly. "What is that?""My close friend, Julie, is hosting a birthday party tomorrow, and she really wants me to be there." Daniella explained. "It's going to be a big celebration, and I haven't seen her for a while." She finished and Desmond's expression darkened. "Did you accept the invitation?""I just told you that she's my close friend. Why won't i accept the invitation." Daniella replied."You know you are pregnant right?" Desmond asked."Yeah, I'm aware. Any problem with that?" Daniella asked."I don't expect this question from you. There are things you need to avoid as a pregnant woman and party is one of it. You need to take care of yourself and the baby. Going to a party might not be
"My mom is different and she's coming, Desmond.""I says what happens in this house. I don't want to see your mom in this house. You are free to visit her but she's not coming here." Desmond insist."I can see you don't love me anymore. You are changing. What have I done wrong?" "You did nothing wrong. I'm doing what is best for us. I kicked my mother and sister out. I can never let your mom in." He finished and entered the bathroom."My mom is coming. Whether you like it or not. Unless you don't want me again." Daniella shouted and Desmond ignored her. He need to take his bath and rest......The next day, Daniella was watching a sports channel when her phone rang. She checked and it was Leonard, her boyfriend . She smiled and picked the call, then put it in loud speaker. Desmond was not around, so she was free and relaxed."Hello babe, How are you doing?" Daniella greeted as she relaxed her back on the couch."I'm fine love. I've missed you so much." Leonard said and Daniella s
"I bagged the contract for you, Desmond." Daniella began. "She was never the one. She went to the back through her ways and did the dirty job. She can do anything just to get back to you. She's jealous and she is fighting you. I don't know why you have not acted on it. If you keep quite, she will do more." "You know what? Let's stop talking about this. Just avoid her please." Desmond said and turned to enter the bathroom. "Before I forget, I want to let you know that my mother will be coming to stay with us for a while." He heard Daniella spoke from his back and stopped, then turned in confusion. "Is like I didn't hear you well, what did you say?" Desmond asked. "You heard me, Desmond. I said my mom Will be coming over to stay with us for a while." Daniella repeated. "I can't believe you are the one saying this." Desmond shook his head. "Why are you saying so? I'm talking about my mother." "Who did you discussed that with?" Desmond asked. "I'm telling you now." "Just l
Desmond was in his office when his phone rang. He glanced at the caller ID and saw an unfamiliar number. He wanted to ignore the call but changed his mind immediately and answered the call.“Hello, Who is this?" He asked.“Good afternoon, Mr. Desmond. This is Clara from Elegance Boutique. I’m calling regarding an incident involving your partner, Miss Daniella.”Desmond’s heart skipped a beat. “What happened?”“Daniella was caught on our CCTV footage placing an earring into another a customer’s handbag yesterday afternoon. The customer, Anabel, was then accused of stealing.”"Are you sure about this? There must be a mistake.” somewhere." Desmond said.“I’m afraid, Mr. Desmond, the evidence is clear.
