Dave POV
I stretched wide on my bed. It's been a long time I've slept on such a comfortable bed. I went to my mother's room to check if my mother was awake yet.
Yes, you heard me right, my mother's room. We now have different rooms of our own.
"Good morning mother." I greeted as I opened the door.
"Good morning son. Why aren't you prepared for work yet?" She asked.
"There is still a lot of time left." I told her and pointed at the clock.
"Oh. Yes, you are right." She said.
I got some money from the back I kept it in and went back to my mother's room.
"Mother, what should I buy?" I asked.
"Don't worry about that. I will handle it. Just start preparing for work." She said.
"Okay mother. I said and gave her the money.
She stood up and took the money with her
I was done with eating breakfast and I went outside to meet Mr Charles. I don't know what but it seemed to me that something just isn't right. Mr Charles is just behaving weird since today.I entered the car with him and he started the car.While he was driving u glanced at him for a moment. He looked like be was thinking about something. It was just as if he was planing what next to say to me and how to say it. I just didn't know what it was."Sir?" I said."Huh? Yes? What's the matter?" He replied.Something is definitely going on here."Um nothing sir. I just thought that. I mean... You look so distracted." I replied."It's nothing Dave. Say. How about we continue our little chat?" He asked."Okay." I replied, not wanting to stress him any further."Okay. What was it I ask
Anna POVI followed the man said to be called Francis. He stopped at a room that I think is meant for trying on clothes."Aren't these clothes too revealing?" I asked."Of course not. They are a perfect fit." He replied.I tried the clothes on and they were a perfect fit but for me it's just too short. I came from behind the curtains and Francis said the clothes are perfect for my structure.Now, I agree that I have a very good shape but it's really not something I want to brag about or show off.Although I really didn't want to take all those clothes Francis chose but I did at the end after much persuasion from him.I came out with the clothes in packages and Mr Charles paid for everything.We left the boutique and he drove me home. He left after dropping me at the gate to my home.I went inside the house and noticed that I forgot to lock the door and after some thin
Anna POVI heard a knock on the door and went to open it. It's probably Dave and his boss.I opened the door and was shocked to the bones. It was the same person! Adams and Dave's boss are the same person. How could it be?I could see that he wasn't as surprised as I was. He must have found out before I did. Or maybe he just knew all along. Perhaps that's why he has been helping I and my son.I'm so confused right now. I don't know what to do.I looked at my son's face and he seemed to have noticed my surprised reaction.I decided to pretend that nothing happened and also that I didn't know Dave's boss from anywhere."Come in." I said as I widened the door."Thank you." Adams said.I had already set the table so we all went straight to the dinning without wasting time.My seat was right in front of Mr Adams. I didn't plan it that way though. It was son who rush
Anna POVI sat down on a sofa still wondering how all my own clothes could just disappear.This really hasn't happened before.I stood up from the sofa and went to the bathroom and took my bath.I couldn't wear the same clothes I just took off. It's already dirty and I sweated a lot. I had no choice than to go for the other ones that Adams sent Mr Charles to buy for me.I still can't believe that he is my son's boss. They one who I and my son have praised so much. This is still shocking to me even till this moment.I was still wearing a towel. I stared at the clothes bought for me. It was all just laying there at one side of my bed.Well, what choice do I have?I took one of the clothes from on top of the bed and I tried it on.The dress was too revealing for my liking and worst thing is that they were all the same length. I can't help but wonder how that Francis in t
Adams POVAnna left and went to the kitchen. This is my opportunity.I took off my shirt and my singlet and relaxed on the chair waiting for her to come back. I know very well that she doesn't have anything to do in he kitchen. She's probably feeling nervous and hot right now.I'll make sure to give it to her just right.She came back to the living room. That dress is giving me more vibes that I could ever think it could."Are you done with what you are doing?" I asked.I watched as her mouth fell open. I could see that she was surprised at what I did. Leaving my body open for her to see. She just kept staring at my abs.Being in my office sitting there and typing all day long doesn't mean I don't pay attention to my body. I've made sure to keep a great body structure. I always do my exercise very early in the morning before going to work. Little did I know it would come in handy f
Charles POVI knew this whole betting game will affect the company. I warned Adams about it but he shut me off. Now a very important contract has being cancelled after a long wait.I came out of Adams' office and bumped in Dave at the entrance."What are you doing peeping in at Mr Adams' office in that manner?" I asked."Nothing sir." He replied."Oh. Nothing you say? Okay. Then I'm sure you won't mind if I inform him of your presence here the whole time." I said and turned to enter Mr Adams' office again.Dave held me back by the hand immediately."Ready to talk?" I asked."I wasn't doing anything bad sir. I only noticed that when Mr Adams came in he looked so angry. I just thought that the only way to find out is by trying to listen to his conversation. But I wasn't successful. I couldn't hear a thing." He explained."Look Dave... Listening in on someone's conversat
Authoress POVFor the remaining two days of the bet, Mr Adams tried his best to sleep with Anna but Anna stayed glued to her decision not to have anything to do with Mr Adams. Anna still kept it in mind that Mr Adams is her son's boss and tried not to get him angry but just stuck to avoiding his attempts at her.Anna never told Dave any of these things happening between her and his boss, as she was worried Dave would loose his job for no justified reason.She was aware that if she was to tell Dave everything then he would quit his job.Dave on the other hand, couldn't find anything against his mother, Mr Adams or even Mr Charles that he believes they were hiding from him and he decided to put it behind him.Anna noticed that Mr Adams had stopped coming to her home after two days of failure in his attempts. Anna is very happy, but of course not knowing that that was just the beginning of her problems.Adams had l
Charles POVI just sat there on my desk doing some paper work when I saw Adams coming out of his office.He doesn't ever come out of his office unless he has an important meeting to attend somewhere.Where could he be going? He doesn't have any business meetings today.I decided to just ignore it and continue what I was doing but then Adams cane back. I saw him looking at Dave and he seemed to have something planned against Dave.I got worried for Dave but decided not to interfere with any of Mr Adams' plan. The extra work he put on me just to be able to win a bet was enough punishment for me."Are you mad!? Couldn't you see me coming?!" Adams yelled at Dave.I didn't see anything that maybe happened but the files that Mr Adams was carrying some minutes ago is now scattered all over the floor."I'm really sorry about that sir." Dave said.I'm sure that Dave had nothin
"Hold it right there!" A voice said from behind me.I could feel a gun on my head."Put the gun down! Now!" The voice said.I bent to the floor and dropped the gun down slowly and stood back straight.I watched as the police officers led everyone out of the mansion.I got handcuffed and put into the police car.I got interrogated and then faced judgement in court.I personally told the judge that I don't ever want to come out of prison and he fulfilled my wish.I was sentence to life imprisonment for the rest of my life.For me it was better that way.Not to see anyone or talk to anyone was part of my want to stay in prison.I never knew that I would make such a mistake and not keep a close eye on the person who had exposed me.I missed out one thing and that is what had left me open for the whole world to see.I never knew that this one person could lead to the spell of doom for m
Once I arrived home I immediately started my search for Bella.I couldn't find her anywhere."Mary!" I call d out to my personal maid."Yes sir?" She answered and walked as fast as she could tell where I was.I hadn't mentioned this before but I will do so now.My wife completely resents Mary.She feels as if Mary is the one I am married to and not her. Bella would always complain about every little thing that Mary did.For instance, if Mary as much as place the cutleries on the wrong side of the table, Bella would curse and curse.However, I would always stand up for Mary whenever bella starts insulting her.Bella had tried so much to convince to make Mary a dish washer instead of a personal maid."You have a wife now and that is me. You don't need a maid to do all the duties of a wife as well." She would always say.Back to business now."Where is Bella?" I asked Mary."I think
Sylvester POV"What do you think you are doing in my room?!" I shouted.Bella shivered in fear."N... N... Nothing... I just... Wanted to... Check on you. You weren't in the..." She tried to explain."Get out!" I shouted.She rushed to the door and opened. She stopped for a moment, but without looking back.Then she left.I wonder what she must have heard me say.I've been like this since birth. I always speak out while I am asleep.That is also one of the reasons I forbade her from entering my room.The wrong move now, and everything will be revealed.Why did I over sleep today?Must have because of the drink I had last night.I went down stairs after cleaning myself up a bit.Bella was already at the table eating.I sat at the other end of the table as I usually did and the cook served me my basic breakfast.I ate and then got up from the table.
Dave POVI smiled at Mr Adams."Sure thing. Thank you." I said."You don't need to thank me. You are family." He said.I dropped him off and left for my home.I reached home and the gate man opened the gate for me.I parked my car at the appropriate place and entered my mansion."Welcome home honey!" Bella said.Yes, I and bella really got married.She hugged me tight and gave me a kiss."Did you miss me?" She asked."Of course I did. You are the only one who has been on my mind since the beginning of the day till tonight." I said to her."Come with me." She said."To where?" I asked."You'll see." She replied.Bella blindfolded me and she dragged me by the hand, up the stairs.We finally came to a stop and I could hear a door close behind me."What's going on?" I asked."Just a minute." She said.After some time, she removed the blindfold from my face
Could it be that the boy that in my wife's dream was Dave?That can't be possible right?Dave isn't the one in her dream. It's impossible.And besides, Dave can't be eighteen. It's been years already and he is already past that age.It must have been a coincidence that my wife had such a dream.Flashback......"I saw Dave." He replied.My heart almost burst out of my chest once Charles made that statement."D... Dave?" I asked, with a little sign of fright in my voice."In my dream sir, not in the physical." He said.I sighed and got a bit more relaxed as I was."What sort of a joke is that supposed to be?" I asked."I'm not making any sort of joke sir. Think about it, Dave has been absent from our lives for almost twenty six years now then how come I got that sort of a dream really right from thin air?" He said."And what sort of a dream is that?" I asked
Adams POVYes I remember it like it was yesterday and I wish I didn't.I remember when I paid off a nurse to call Dave and tell him that his mother died during abortion.I remember I had stood there and watched the nurse make the call.Everyday it feels like Anna's ghost is after me. I never let my wife know about that mistake I made in the past.And I will make sure that neither my wife nor my daughter ever finds out about what I did.Authoress POVIt seems that the real truth has been revealed about the death of Anna, Dave's mother.Everything that Dave believes to be the reason for his mother's death are all nothing but lies.His mother only attempted but never went through with it.Anna was on her way out of the hospital when her way was blocked by Mr Charles, who was sitting in Mr Adams' car.Mr Adams and Mr Charles had parked outside the hospital, lyin
Adams POV "You mean you are an orphan?" I asked. "Affirmative." Sylvester replied. "I honestly didn't see that coming. What a twist." I said. "I never really spoke about it to anyone. Surprisingly, the paparazzi never thought about it. And neither did news reporters." He said. "How did you become an orphan?" I asked him. "My parents died when I was eighteen." He said. "And what killed them?" I asked. "They actually died at different times. My father died some years before my mother." He replied. "And your mother?" I asked. "She was raped by a man who I thought was my friend." Sylvester said, great pain was showing all over his face. "That man must really be heartless to rape a woman to death. He deserves the worst possible punishment that could be given for such a crime." I said in anger. "You are guilty of it." He said. I was shocked to hear what he just said.
Authoress POVSylvester had made it this far. He is now in the home of the man he hates so much.He has seen the face of Mr Adams after so many years of waiting.Mr Adams has, on his own, fixed the wedding date between his daughter, Bella, and Sylvester the billionaire.Mr Adams has no idea of what Sylvester is plotting against him behind his back.He foolishly gives his daughter up, into the hands of Sylvester unaware of the consequences of his actions.What action will Dave take .after his marriage with the only child of Mr Adams?You will just have to continue till the end of this book to find out.Bella POVI feel so happy that my dad has finally accepted Sylvester. I thought he would continue to be stubborn.I smiled as I watched dad and Sylvester get along so well.It's almost as if they had known each other in the past.It's amazing the way that Sylvester actually feels the same about me in su
Sylvester POVThe d day is finally here.After all these years I will finally meet my enemy.Ha ha ha. I guess I have to look my best.He is the reason I went through face surgery after all.I don't even know why my face never changed.I arrived at their doorstep and gave a knock at the door.The door was opened by a maid and I was told to wait.She closed the door and went to do what ever it is she was going to do.The maid opened the door again and told me that I will be attended to outside."By who were you sent with that sort of order?" I asked."By me." A voice said.I could recognize that voice any day any time.The man for whom I have gone through all this trouble was now standing right here, in front of me.I clenched my fists the moment I laid my eyes on him."Long time no see." I said."Sorry?" He said."Ha ha ha ha. You must be Bella's father.
