Tony wasn't going to take chances. He trusted the bodyguards he wanted to send with her but could they follow her to the ladies' room? By mere courtesy, they won't follow her if she asked to be excused. The best person to protect his wife was nobody else but him. Seeing the list of people to be represented at the planning committee meeting, he couldn't help but be cautious. For that reason, he had to take his laptop along. When she got busy, he would continue with his work.
"What about your work? You have to send me with the bodyguards. I need to get acquainted so I won't feel restless when I begin working," Abigail conveyed, her voice knitted with concern. How could she allow him to leave his work and just wait on her? He wasn't just anybody but the President of the Wrights Fortune.
"Don't worry. I will go with you to every meeting," he imposedly responded. He couldn't explain the dangers lurking around to Abigail because he himself couldn't pinpoint exactly what they
"Relax, they don't bite," Isaac assured Tanya during the drive to his old manor. His left hand held the steering wheel while his right hand rested on her thigh comfortingly. Deep down, he kept wondering what else his father had in store for him. After pulling such a ruse earlier, he couldn't bring himself to trust him again. "Do you think they will like me?" Tanya asked shyly. Between both of them, they were pretending but there was also a probability that they might date for real if Isaac accepted her after knowing her past so it was very important to make a good first impression. She even let Isaac choose her outfit and directed her on what to do with the make-up to be just right. "Tanya, I don't care whether they like you or not. The choice is mine," Isaac blatantly said. Whether his parents approved or not, he wasn't going to leave Tanya. Whichever way, Tanya was still concerned. Her parents' views would definitely influence her decision about marriage. Not with
Isaac wasn't selfish. Even though he wanted more than anything to be married to Tanya, he still cared about her feelings. Throughout the drive home, Isaac kept asking her. "Are you sure about this?" There were so many things he expected today but Tanya agreeing to marry him wasn't one of them. This was unexpected and at the same time blazingly wonderful. Her answer was a firm, yes but then she added, "there's something you need to know about me. I didn't tell you because I thought you would hate me if I did." Isaac frowned slightly in deep thought. He hating Tanya? "I can never hate you, Tanya, never." Tanya didn't say another word till they arrived at the penthouse. She was surprised when Isaac carried her out of the car bridal style. The guy was crazy. "It's not necessary," she tried to resist shyly. "It is. It's official. You are mine and that's how we will go home from now onwards," he exclaimed with youthful exuberance. It was the first time she
Mr White was gripped with fear the moment he saw the caller ID and the time - 3 am. Something must have happened to Tanya for Isaac to be calling him at a time like this. He left the bedroom, shutting the door securely before he answered the call."Did something happen to my daughter?" He was worried and his heart was burning like fire. Isaac came to his senses. He hadn't slept and hadn't realized it was still dawn."I'm sorry to disturb you at this time. Your daughter is fine but there's something I need to know."Mr White felt his heart relax. These youngsters should think twice when dealing with the older generation. He was too old for these kinds of emergencies. "If I have the answer, I won't hesitate.""Good. I was trying to get Tanyas' academic documents from Zcity and I'm told she's dead but you and I know that that isn't true."It..it's…" Mr White never recounted the details of the incident to anyone. Not even his wife. He want
Tanya was astounded. "What..what are you doing?" She was slightly tense. "I want to show you that your body is not filthy to me." Isaac had discarded his clothes and was adorned in only his boxers. Tanyas' cheeks were reddening. How could he be so perfectly sculptured? "How?" She asked innocently. Isaac softened his gaze. He didn't want to scare her. He just wanted to show her how he adored her. "Just do as I say, will you?" It was a command but his eyes were pleading. "Yes." The response was subtle with expectation. He ambled close to her and said, "the first rule, I'm very possessive and jealous. I don't want you to think of any other man when we are together or even away from each other. I want you to only think about me." Tanya nodded quickly. She was only able to sleep feeling him close so it wasn't a bad idea to put him in the back of her mind. "Now lay on the bed, face up and close your eyes." "Why?" She was slightly scared but
"What are you doing here?" Isaac asked coldly. His gaze was piercing, making the woman in front of him stutter. She began to question herself if she did the right thing by coming to his house but she missed him and she was eager to see him. She even stopped by the house to change into something attractive to make him forget the past and take her but the man was gazing at her like firewood. "I brought these files for signing," she said in her most seductive voice, holding out the files to him which he took and asked, maintaining the coldness in his tone. "Who sent you and how did you know my address?" She couldn't tell him that she tricked Dora and accessed the CEOs' personal information on the server so she responded curtly, "Dora gave me your address and the files. May I come in?" She finally asked. She was dying to enter his penthouse. It would only be the two of them without Tanya. The mere sound of her name angered her to the core. Ever since she appeared in
The next day, Tony arrived in his office with Abigail at five minutes to 8. When they got to the reception, Ashley was already seated like a sickler. Even so, she still carried the usual air of a goddess around her. She greeted the couple warmly as Tony ushered her to the office grimly. As soon as Abigail stepped into the office, her phone rang. She checked the caller ID and saw it was the assistant coordinator of the carnival. "I have to take this," she said apologetically to Tony, casting a glance at Ashley, who gave her a warm smile. "Don't keep me waiting," Tony responded dryly, as Abigail stepped out of the office to answer the call. It took longer than expected, as he was reporting an emergency. Abigail was having a headache. Today, she was supposed to supervise and ensure everything was in place before handing it over tomorrow. In a nutshell, her job was almost done therefore, the news frightened her since she would have to work extra days to get the artists to re
In less than ten minutes, Abigails' phone beeped. When she began watching the video, her emotions began to fluctuate like the colours of the rainbow. By the time she finished watching, her head was lowered in remorse.An hour ago."Sit," Tony ushered Ashley to the chair in front of him.Ashley smiled flirtatiously but Tony wasn't even looking. His eyes were constantly on the door."Thank you for agreeing to see me, Tony. I'm so sorry for everything that happened," she said sorrowfully.Tony was indifferent. "It's all in the past.""So you don't hate me?" Her eyes gleed with hope just as it was dashed with misery by his next words."No, but neither do I like you anymore. See, the misfortune you caused me, gave me the windfall I'm enjoying today. I always thought no woman would have the six qualities to tame me but my wife has even more. Having her each day is a blessing I'm grateful for and I truly don't require more."Ashley fa
As soon as Tony ended the call with the detective, he forwarded the files to Isaac and called afterwards."Good news and bad news. Which do you want to hear first?" He asked as soon as Isaac answered the call."The bad news," Isaac grimly responded. He suspected it was news from the detective and he wasn't wrong."Gray has escaped and should be in Mcity as we speak. The detective and his team are on their way here but you should keep your woman safe. He realised she survived and is up to finish what he started," Tony carefully repeated the detectives' words.Isaac stiffened and gritted his teeth. "I'll be waiting for him then and the good news?" "Gray's identity and every information about the cult including all of Tanya's transcript and academic records have been sent to your email."The corner of Isaacs' lips curled upwards. "He is remarkable indeed." For as long as the cult was taken down, Gray had no protection and had becom
Brian chuckled and explained, “No. I’m just afraid. What if she had fought back or hit you with something?” Kisha was about to say that no one could defeat her in a fight but then, Brian added, “Or what if you got injured or fell? Don’t forget that you might be pregnant and not know it.” Seeing the direction of the conversation and the level of care in his voice, she was filled with remorse. Indeed, violence never pays. “I will control my temper better next time,” she vowed but Brian shook his head, extending her yard of confusion. “I’m not saying that you should not defend yourself or let people walk over you. What I mean to say is, if you want to hit someone, call me to do it for you. I will hate myself for you getting injured because I could not protect you,” he said with a sad countenance. Kisha smiled and replied, “I get it.” A month later, Brian went with Kisha to Kalen’s wedding. A day after, they were invited to dinner by their parents but it was hosted by Tony and Abigail.
“I want her fired. I don’t care about the nasty things she said to me but for her to call Aunt Abigail a housewife, enjoying Uncle Tony’s hard-earned money as a stay-at-home wife, I can’t bring myself to forgive or see her working in this company ever again,” Kisha explained painfully. Abigail was one of the women she respected so much even when she didn’t know that she would one day be getting married to her son. Seeing the seriousness and anger in her tone, Brian was upset that Linda had the guts to speak to Kisha like that but also, she involved his mother. From the chilliness emitted by the president when he was addressing Linda, even the managers were on edge in their seats. “You said that about my mother?” Brian asked in a low growl, staring daggers at the battered face that had turned extremely ugly. “And what did you call my wife?” His voice tone was becoming dangerous, as he tried to suppress his fury. “I…. I…. Mr.….” Linda was finding it hard to form a sentence from Brian
Kisha calmed herself. If anything, she did not want to cause Brian any form of embarrassment “Is there anything wrong with that? Companies reshuffle every time and you seem to be stuck in the same position for two years. You should be happy that I put in a word for you,” she leveraged, not refusing the accusation against her. Linda was distressed. She only guessed but it turned out to be true. Being Brian’s secretary was her only way of getting close to him. She’s been at it for the past two years and was not ready to give up. “I might just be a secretary but I am paid better than most people,” she said directly, hinting that she did not appreciate Kisha’s so-called help. Kisha stared at her with revolt. “Is that so?” she asked with feigned seriousness. “How about I ask Brian to give you a 20% raise?” She asked again. “Will that be enough? Look, I’m being nice because, in a way, you feel inconvenienced,” Kisha concluded. Seeing that her first plan was not working, and Kisha was not
Kisha boarded a taxi to Brian’s office. Since it was her first time there, she was a little lost. Luckily, she met the receptionist who recalled her from their wedding pictures online. “Mrs. Wright, how may I help you?” She let out a kind smile and asked. Kisha smiled back, saying, “I am here to see Brian.” “I have not seen him leave, which means he is in his office but his secretary should know more,” The receptionist said, as she glanced at the secretary’s office, which was transparent due to the glass compartment. Seeing it was not occupied, she leveraged, “That is Mr. Wright’s office but I don’t know where his secretary is. Perhaps to serve his morning coffee.” Hearing morning coffee, Kisha’s heart twitched a little. “Thank you,” she said to the receptionist, and without knocking, she opened the secretary’s office door, and went through to Brian’s. Indeed, Linda was serving Brian’s coffee, and seeing Kisha, Brian smiled. Linda did not know that someone had walked into the offic
“Mrs. Wright, I must say that you are a very stunning woman but what a bad choice you have for a husband,” Mr. Bennette said as soon as Brian walked out. Kisha raged. “Are you talking to me?” She grimaced and asked. Mr. Bennette found it cute the way she was acting hard to get. He said slowly, “It’s just the two of us here and like I was saying, I am wondering your reason for marrying him. If it’s money, then I’m equally rich.” Kisha’s lips pursed. Every respect she had for this man from before dropped to zero degrees. He was very attractive but lacked dignity. Perhaps if he knew who she was, he might think twice and not act like a fool anymore. “My father is Isaac Newton and I am the head of the Engineers Corporation. Do you still think that I married Brian because of money?” She asked with a serious unwavering gaze. Mr. Bennette froze a little. The next moment, he said, “Sorry, I misread that part but then, you are in love with him. I feel sorry for you but I am still available.
“Isn’t it too much? You must be tired after last night and what happened to the maids?” Brian hugged Kisha from the back and asked in a deep desirous voice. Kisha giggled and responded whilst platting, “I sent some of them to get groceries and the others to the garden. I just don’t want any of them walking around for a while.” Brian’s lips planted kisses around her ears before he sucked on her neck. “It smells delicious.” Kisha smiled tightly but did not respond when Brian asked again, “What about work?” “I called to inform them that I’d be late. So, we should eat now,” she said and carried the tray of good-looking lasagna, recalling how terrible it was when they tried to do it together before. “I called your mum to guide me through it but I’m not sure if it tastes like hers,” Kisha said with a sorry expression when Brian paused after chewing and swallowing a bite of the lasagna. She could not tell whether or not he liked it. Brian looked into her eyes and said, “You don’t have
Arriving at the villa, Kisha dragged Brian to his bedroom. When the door pushed open, her jaw dropped, and she froze. “Hey, you cheated. This is bigger and more luxurious than my room,” she nagged. Brian chuckled. How was it his fault when she refused to share their room and settled for another? “It's for the two of us but you didn’t want to share,” he said softly, not wanting her to feel more guilty than she already was. He wrapped his hand around her waist from behind and she turned to face him as he asked, “So, did you mean everything you said earlier?” Kisha pulled away and his eyes dulled. The next moment, she went around him and closed the door, locking it securely. Light returned to Brian’s eyes as he saw her admiring the room. He saw how her eyes dimed when she saw female clothes in the closet. The next moment, her pretty face contoured with a frown. “Yes, I meant it when you promised not to see other women. Perhaps I made a mistake,” she said in a saddened voice, while she
Kisha stilled for a second before processing the information. She felt like she was in a daze when she left the meeting without a word to her managers and drove to the hospital. Even when her secretary thought of driving her there, she had already left. Reaching the hospital, she was ushered to the doctor’s office as soon as she mentioned her name. “Why has it taken you so long to come?” The doctor asked. Kisha was slightly guilty, looking down, and said defensively, “I came as soon as I heard the news.” The doctor did not accept the excuse. The first person he expected to see after the accident was Kisha but she was rather the last to arrive. “The hospital called you with Brian’s number hours before then. Your number was on the speed dial when we needed to contact a relative. His parents and yours left an hour ago and said they would be back in the evening,” the doctor explained accusingly. Kisha’s guilt increased. Even her parents knew and she didn't. She wondered why they did not
As the days went by, Brian would call Kisha to check on her and if she refused to answer his call and did not return them after an hour or two, he would drive to the corporation. He was so pushy that he became a member of the corporation and no longer a visitor. Brian would always be in her office unannounced. The more she tried to push him away, the closer he got until Kisha began to accept the fact that Brian would always be a part of her life. She contributed little to nothing to the wedding but Brian had gotten to know her favorite things from her Aunty Rita in Zcity, and communicated them to his mother Abigail, who was the wedding planner, ensuring that everything went well. Betty, Brian’s twin sister, flew from Europe with her husband and daughter to attend the wedding, which was one of the most lavish in Mcity. Rita traveled from Zcity and the way she bonded with Kisha, arose a few jealous strings in Tanya. She was conflicted within herself if it was right
