Anabel stared at Karen with so much hatred in her eyes, this was a blow to her, and she vowed never to forgive. "What do you want?" Anable asked. Yes, Karen knew she would come to terms with her, she has known Anabel to be very scheme and no scheme person will miss the chance of striking a deal that will be of benefit to them. "Now you're talking, I want to be head of the designing department, and I can't achieve that with your sister, however I will help you get back to your feet'" Karen has always been a snake In the green grass, she knew just how to manifest and take things to her advantage. When Arielle reached out to her she felt grateful and knowing how important her job was to her, she hurriedly agreed to work for her. But who would have thought she would strike her salary in two as compensation for betraying and lying against her, Indeed she never lets things go and as it was read before everyone, she knew there was no open space for negotiations. "And why should I consid
"You just had to open your mouth, didn't you? Anabel, I would not be interested in marrying a woman who can sleep with the fiance of her sister and talk less of my elder brother. Do as you told, a slut will forever remain a slut" Daniel walked out while Mrs. Alpphia could only sob quietly. This has never been the life she wanted for her children, Leonard has been independent but going against the old woman has always proved abortive. "You see the things you raised as children? No respect at all. I am the mentor of this family and they shall do as they are told, Anabel won't be leaving and a marriage ceremony to officially welcome her into the Grey home will be held in a week. Leonard should not push my button, "Grandma Grey announced. The servants were all shocked but from the start, they all knew the old hag better. "If I have to die to see my children happy, then I will. He has married Arielle and Anabel would never be my daughter-in-law, before you say something remember, that yo
Granny bit her tongue in anger but there was no way she could refute the statement. Anabel was neither legally married to Leonard Grey nor his brother Daniel. But that was to come to an end. Anabel rose from her seat and walked outside to meet Arielle, the driver had left with Leonard Grey and she still did not have a defined car assigned to her. "I will ride with you sister," she tells Arielle as she heads for the car door. Arielle halted in her steps looking back not sure of what to say, to her it seemed for a moment Anabel had really lost her sense of reasoning and shame. "It was a gift from my husband, if you want a car to ride with then get your husband to get one for you" She walked over and got into the car, driving off and leaving Anabel dumbfounded and shocked. she never thought Arielle would react despite all they have put her through and she always behaved as the bigger person. Anabel rushed into crying like a toddler whose candy had been taken from her, the maids could
Arnold had to move the phone from his ears so as not to damage it. He understood just how angry and frustrated his sister felt towards the situation, it was him who had underestimated Arielle. He had felt she was too small and wouldn't be a problem he couldn't have, however it all turned out for the worst. "I am trying sister" he responded quietly into the phone, he was indeed trying. Now he had to prove he was better and Arielle was very smart, with the support of Mr Clovis Gilbert, she was more than certain to get away with anything within the marketing department. Sabotaging wasn't going to help get the company to Anabel. "I am working hard but you have to make sure Anabel is able to get the shares of the Richard's family before Arielle does. With that we can be certain things will eventually take in our favor" Arnold suggested, "hmmm" Claudia was quick to hang up the phone. But her brother knew her better and did not bother calling back. Claudia sat in her mahogany bedroom whic
The Meeting was yet to come to an end when Leonard Grey's phone began ringing, he took a first glance at it and immediately took the call. This was to the surprise of everyone, leonard Grey has always been a man of charisma and calls was not something he permitted during important business meets. Just a few seconds into the call and his voice was so loud startling everyone. Mark knew what happened and he was aware his boss would only take the call of his wife and no other. He rushed to his side.``get a car ready to pick up Arielle from work and get me the driver who got her car towed and why" Mark quickly nodded. He could not believe it took so long for the boss and madam to find out about the car. He got into the car and drove off calling Gia as he made his way through the highway. "Yes mark" Gia answered through the phone, she sounded rather panicked, she has not had a calm mind ever since the car got to the mansion, the driver had not taken the car hence Anabel could not get acce
Leonard Grey stared at his mother, the tears in her eyes were evident. She has had to put up with ever so long and now she was biting more than she can show however she could not let her son do anything drastic. "Mom let go" Leonard Grey warned her sternly he did not want anything to make him regret his actions. "We've come a long way to let it all slip, just let her be and have her way. Leonard you know it is just for a while, everything will.bw okay please" his mother pleaded desperately, while Arielle stood by her and held her from falling, shw did not understand what the mother and son was talking about. She turned to Mark and Gia who came just as they pulled through the driveway, and the look on their faces said it all. She was the only one not familiar with what was happening, she was the only one lost in the words surrounding her. Before his mother could say another word, Leonard pushed through and banked into the living room as expected grandma Grey and Anabel were having a
It's been 30 years since Mrs. Alpphia married into the Grey household, looking back she just realized how much time had flown by. She was no daughter of a minister, talk less of a wealthy household, she came from an impoverished background barely making enough to earn a living. She still remembered the day she met her husband like it was yesterday. Wearing a blue floral dress which happened to be her favorite and only decent dress she had, the streets were filled with citizens from home and abroad not excluding tourists who had all come back to spend the Easter vacation with family and loved ones. She beamed with happiness holding a picnic basket filled with fruits for her sick mother. She had not expected to be run over with a little commotion which caused so much chaos and waking up in the hospital the very next day all bandaged up like a newly molded mummy. She tried looking for her dress and found it on the floor screeded in pieces. It was the only decent outfit she had for occ
Alphia stared at the man before, not sure of what to say. She was certain she was careful enough, but how did he find her home? How did he get here? “I am sorry for intruding, I was just worried you would be misunderstood”’ he snaps her out of her phase. “‘It's okay, I am home now and everything is okay”’ he replies, trying as much as she can for her voice not to break. She had just met this young charmer today and would not want him to see her cry, deep down her feelings were boiling and threatening to spill. “So, is it because of him you don't want to marry the man I have chosen for you? Alphia you should know I am your parent and my word is law”’ Mr. Grey had not taken notice of the other members of the family. He had been so distracted by the beauty before him who held so much pain written all over her, that he forgot about the presence of her father. “‘Sir, I am sorry if she arrived late, I ran her over and had to make sure she was ok' '’ Mr Grey walked close enough as he exp
