Michelle brought out her phone and and pushed the play button. Earlier, before she went to meet her sister to confront her. She recorded their conversation, hiding the phone in her pocket. She knew the kind of person her sister was. No matter how naughty she was, she'll always reveal whatever she was doing. Using that as a weakness wasn't a bad idea for Michelle. Everyone gasped as they heard the recording. Even her mother in law, Martha was shocked. "Your planned worked, hurray! Where are you throwing the party to celebrate your victory?" Michelle asked. Ginny."Well, you wished me goodluck if I was going to take your place" Ginny replied. She slowly turned to face Manuel. Manuel wasn't expecting that. He didn't know that everything was recorded. For some reason, he was happy that he was too tired to say anything to Michelle then. Or else, he would have been in trouble."I thought the war was between you and I. What has my husband got to do with this?" Michelle asked. "Father, it'
Michelle and Mr Croydon's second wife watched as Ginny picked the broke ceramics carefully. She even hurt herself. Martha wanted to help her but, Michelle stopped her. Till she was done picking every piece of ceramics, no one went close to her. She was finally done. "Good girl. You can go" Michelle said, smiling weirdly at her sister. Ginny sniffed in and left. Martha shot a hard glance at Michelle before leaving with Ginny. They went to Martha's room and treated Ginny's injury. "Why do you let her treat you like that?" She asked. "She's...""I don't want any excuses! You are older than her! You are my son's wife" the woman almost yelled. "But, she's Christopher's wife. She's also father's favourite. If I don't obey her, I'll be punished" Ginny lowered her head and started sobbing. Martha gently wrapped her hands around her, she was even sorry for yelling at her. "I know what you did for my son. Thank you. You are a wonderful wife. If you keep doing this and Manuel finally takes
The next morning, Kelly woke up, to meet an empty house. Jenny and her father already left. Everyday, she goes around to see if there was phone to call her mom. But, there was none. She ate her breakfast, just some cereal. She head to the window and started looking outside to see if anyone will walk pass the house.She had no idea where she was. All she knew was that she was in the middle of no where. It looked like a private estate, but it isn't. People hardly pass the streets. It was just cars and some parents walking their kids to school on regular school days. She missed school, she missed her sister. It was Saturday, the road was empty. She leaned her head on the window glass and started thinking about her sister, crying softly. ..Pearl reported to Michelle. Since Chloe woke up, she refused to leave the bed. She sat there, sobbing, thinking about her sister also. Michelle and Christopher rushed to her while the maids went out. "What's wrong baby?" Michelle asked. "I want to
Mr Croydon started from the person seated on his left, his first wife. She brought out her diamond necklace. "This was the first necklace you bought for me after our wedding. You said it's worth more than money" she said and blushed. Mr Croydon scoffed and nodded his head. He moved to the next person. "This is a flower vase you bought in Paris. It cost ninety million dollars father. It's super expensive" Michelle gasped softly, hearing the price. Christopher wasn't surprised. His father was used to wasting money on unnecessary things when he was young. "There are stuff worth more than that in this manor" he whispered to her. She gasped again. "This is your favourite book, signed by a popular author in Africa" "This is a trophy made of you, you loved it father" "This is a..."They kept on talking till it got to Manuel's turn. He brought out a gold bar. "This real gold bar is worth more than all of this things that are in this room. I know you value money more than anything el
Michelle was dressed up to leave the house. She knew she was going to be busy now that her father in law has assigned the house and himself to her. The maids even got Chloe ready for school already. Michelle walked towards Christopher and kissed his forehead. "See you later babe" she said. "Hmm" he mumbled as he gently turned to the other side. She scoffed and grabbed her bag. Immediately, she left the house with Chloe. The driver started the car and zoomed off. "Bye mummy" Chloe waved. Michelle waved back. She watched her daughter entered the building before she head to the hospital. ..Kelly stood by the window, watching some parents walk pass the house with their kids. She got reminded of her mother. She wished she could go to school.Jenny walked out with her bag. "Don't get your hopes high honey, you aren't going to school. Back off from the window, it's expensive" she said and touched her make up before out of the house. She was shut in again. But, she didn't obey her
The next morning, it was just a day left to the ceremony. Chloe ate breakfast in the kitchen while her mother just slipped a cup of coffee. "Do you want more dear?" One of the chef asked. Chloe shook her head. "Thank you, I'm full" Chloe said, trying to force herself to finish the waffles. Pearl turned to Michelle who was just staring into the thin air. She was busy thinking about random things. "Is young master okay, my lady?" She asked. "Yes, he is. Why do you ask?" Michelle asked, wearing a confused look. They all exchanged glances with each other before staring at Michelle. It seemed like she had no idea what happened last night, during dinner. "Ah, he mustn't have told you about what happened yesterday" Pearl said, scratching her head as if it was itching her. Michelle dropped the cup and folded her hands. She wanted to hear it since it concerned her husband. "Yesterday, during dinner... There was a little quarrel" one of the chef started. "The mistress and Mrs Ginny wer
The next morning, it was finally the day most people were waiting for. Manuel found it hard to sleep. He was preparing for his speech. He made sure he warmed up his voice so he won't have any break in between the speech. He also tried not to stutter. He wanted to make it professional so the board will accept him and even recommend him to be the chairman and not his brother.Ginny ironed his suit and hung it. She was also part of the anxious ones.The family had breakfast together, hoping to forget what happened the other day. Christopher was present at the table. Manuel tried to figure out his expression but it was so hard to read both his face and Michelle's. No one could tell what they were thinking or even if they plotted anything.He cleared his throat, wanting to speak. "Are you going to the ceremony today?" He asked. Christopher raised his head and glared at his brother. "Yes, why do you ask?" He answered in a calm tone."No reason. I'll send the order of the program...""I a
Timmy was still in the car, pretending to be his boss. No one even noticed, not even the driver. He raised his head and cleared his throat. "Uh... Well be there soon young master. I'll take a short court to the event center" the driver said. "Hurry!" He managed to mimick Chris voice. The driver increased his speed, driving towards the wrong location. "Are you sure this is the right place?" He asked again. "Yes, young master. I'm sure of it" he lied. .Michelle was recording all of it. She wanted to make sure she gets a more detailed recording that stated either Ginny or Manuel was responsible for this. She had to act fast and she knew just what to do. She swiftly called her sister. Ginny was on the bed, sleeping. Since she dozed off, she hasn't woken up. She heard her phone ringing. She felt too weak to even reach it. When she finally grab it, she saw it was her sister calling. She gasped back to reality and sat up, remembering that she had to make sure Christopher doesn't rea
