2024-10-29 19:42:56In 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."

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
President Tony, Let's Perfect Our Marriage 50 - Her insecurities
Isaac was musing over their short time a moment ago, saddening that today was Tanyas' last day at work. He was going to miss everything about her. When the door opened, he thought she had returned for more or to remind him about lunch. He was met with disappointment when he saw the silhouette at the door. "Rita?" He was glad to see her but he only wished it was Tanya. Now, he couldn't wait to close from work to go home with Tanya. "What's wrong with that receptionist of yours? I told her I was your girlfriend and she turned white like a ghost," Rita said irritably.Isaac felt like his throat was becoming dry. Why did he feel like she was referring to Tanya, despite three more ladies there? It could have been any of them. "You did what?" He asked in a low growl1, which startled Rita. He seemed to be getting angry with her, which was rare. Isaac always pampered and allowed her to do as she liked."You heard me. I've never seen her here before. Is
President Tony, Let's Perfect Our Marriage 51 - Queenie is shameless
At the villa, Ivy had returned with Marcus Reel, Abigails' father. She never informed either Tony or Abigail about their arrival. It was a surprise she had prepared for Abigail. Once again, the workers in the villa got busy with Ivys' arrival. Dinner tonight was going to be exceptional. Ivy and Marcus were casually chatting on the patio when one of the maids greeted them. "Madam Wright, Madam Queenie is here to see you." Ivy wasn't surprised. Queenie had tried to reach her constantly but she never answered the formers' calls. "Let her come," Ivy said with a small smile. The maid nodded and left. "I don't want her to see me till I pay her a visit," Marcus said after the maid was out of sight. Ivy understood his request and said politely, "then please use the back door to the living room." The man stood up in slow steady steps and walked through the back door. Shortly after, Queenie walked in looking tired but excited. "Ivy, why have you
President Tony, Let's Perfect Our Marriage 52 - He was generous, all because his daughter was happy
"I'm sorry Abigail, I'm so sorry for putting you through so much," the middle-aged man who looked older than his years because of the harsh toxins his body once took in, sobbed between words. "No, no, no, Pa, I should thank you for staying alive. Thanks for not giving up," Abigail wasn't any better, clinging tightly to him as she sobbed. This was unexpected. She recalled when she called Ivy concerning the divorce. She said she was going to come soon but Abigail hadn't taken her seriously because of the pain she felt at that moment. "But you got married because of me. You never wanted to," her father pulled away and stared intently into her eyes. Abigail smiled shyly and said, "but it's the best thing that happened to me. Pa, I married a King and he treats me like a queen. I love him, dad, and I have no regrets." A flawless smile wiped the tears from his face and he responded, "you've made me happy. Even if I die now, I will rest in peace." Abi

This was enough to restore the name of the Newton family till the wedding. Tony had allowed Abigail to spend the night in Tanyas' house so the men spent the night together as well.Even though the wedding was three months away, Abigail was already drawing out the decor for it and was doing it for free. She had been paid very well for the carnival which was supposed to be hosted in a few days. Isaac had also invited Dennis to the engagement since he refused to take back the payment for the cab dri

President Tony, Let's Perfect Our Marriage 54 - Gray, don't do this.
Isaac balled his hand into fists so hard, that his nails dug into the palm of his hands. Tony was going berserk. He raged, his eyes crimson, as he summoned the detective. 'What if Isaac was right and his wife was pregnant?' Now she was in the hands of some lunatic serial killer.' He was going insane as he instructed the detective in a low growl, "close all roads ten kilometres from here." The inspector frowned, wondering what had happened. Besides, Tony and Isaac looked like they were going to kill someone."What did you find out?" The inspector asked curiously. "He took them," Tony said through gritted teeth. The inspector cursed severally before instructing his team on what to do. If they all left, everyone would be suspicious so Isaac confided in his father. "Dad, keep the guests busy. Someone kidnapped Tanya and Abigail but we have their location. It's not too far from here." Mr Thomas Newton's jaw clenched. Who dared to touch a woman claimed by the Newtons? Even
President Tony, Let's Perfect Our Marriage 55 - Clean up this mess
The cold breeze carried by the fall of the gigantic door didn't feel cold but rather warm when the girls saw the men. Being found was a means to the rescue but being rescued from the assailant was another problem altogether. Gray was fearless, as he saw the two men responsible for the fall of the door. Just two men, they could fight them and escape. His eyes soon dimmed when he saw more men trooping in. Seeing there was no way out, he pressed the revolver against Tanyas' head when the two men approached him."I'll kill her before you catch me," he raged. The men stopped in their tracks. No matter how strong or fast they were, it couldn't be quicker than the bullet of a gun. Even with Gray outnumbered by the detectives, the situation was a dangerous one. Isaac fumed. No matter how he wanted to rip Gray apart, he couldn't do it when he held a gun to Tanyas' head. He was helpless and his heart burned like it was being grilled on hot coals.In this situation, Tanya kne

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.
President Tony, Let's Perfect Our Marriage Chapter 12 – Building trust
“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
President Tony, Let's Perfect Our Marriage Chapter 10 – I don't like her
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.
President Tony, Let's Perfect Our Marriage Chapter 8 – New arrangements
“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
President Tony, Let's Perfect Our Marriage Chapter 7 - Honeymoon at home
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
President Tony, Let's Perfect Our Marriage Chapter 5 – Not working
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
