2024-10-29 19:42:56" Someone seems happy," Nexus said pecking Sage on her lips. She had been happy since she got home from Kendrick's office. She didn't care his mother had seen them, in fact, she was glad his mother had seen them. She had wanted to prove a point and she did so perfectly. She knew Kendrick still had a soft spot for her and she was going to use that against him until she got what she wanted.
Typical Sage.
" Oh, I am, I am about to hit jackpot really soon." she smiled at him. Her actions seemed fishy but he didn't seem to care. He just needed a certain amount of money and then he was going to leave her sorry ass behind. She wasn't the type of woman he wanted. He just needed her to be where he wanted to be and she was really playing a good role in that.
Pathetic fool!
" Ma, what's happening? I thought you weren't leaving till the end of the month, what changed?" Briella asked as she noticed her mother-in-law pack her bags. She was done with h

“ Wait,” Briella said as Sage walked back to her. She didn’t want to say anything at first but on second thought she had to. He was her husband now and not a boy toy.“ Kendrick’s not home at the moment and I don’t remember inviting you in here, as if I would do what do you want?” Brie asked sipping her mocha seated in front of the house with one leg crossed over the other like the boss that she was. “ And why should I answer you?” Sage shot back.“ Because you are trespassing on my husband’s property with no authorization whatsoever, I have the right to question your movements in and out of my house,” she fired standing up to block her path. Sage tried to force her way inside the house as Brie poured the cup of mocha into

"Oh, I'd be back if I don't hear from you again dad. We had a deal and I have fulfilled my part of the deal, it's only right that you give to me what is rightfully mine. The deal was to get married to him and I did. You never mentioned child bearing before I got my share. It's either we settle this amicably or you hear from my lawyers. It's up to you to decide." Briella said walking towards the door. " Is that a threat?" her father asked making her stop in her tracks. " Oh no father dearest, it's a promise." she answered walking out. Anika had heard the foot steps of her Step-daughter and quickly run towards the nearest washroom closer to her husband's office before Briella got out. She had heard everything they were discussing about and there was no way she was allowing that happen. She needed to do everything in her will power to prevent Brie from getting that inheritance. Why was he finding it difficult to give her what rightfully belo

“… and you didn’t confront him? Instead you chose to give him the cold shoulder?” Padma asked Brie as they sat at her favorite restaurant in Los Angeles for dinner. They were having mashed potatoes, gravy and a juicy steak by the side. With their glasses filled with baileys. “ What’s the use of he’s going to deny it, come to think of it I think that’s why his mother left impromptu. She may have seen him cheating on me but decided to leave instead of being the one breaking the news,” she realized.“ He still has no justification to do that, she refused to marry him and you were forced into marrying him with your inheritance at stake. Forced marriages can be difficult at the beginning but it’s up to both of you to make this work,” Padma stated.“ Within those two weeks his mom was around we were fine, everything was going on well then after she left, it went back to how it was and now I understand why. As I said earlier, men don’t like being ignored and that’s my cue to win his love b

She did what I asked of her. So why am I sitting on her inheritance? She doesn’t know her mother left this for her else she would have dragged my ass to court. Eloise entrusted me with this inheritance to give to her baby girl when she was of age. Mr Rorberts paced up and down thinking to himself. He needed to do what was required of him to have peace but how was he going to do that when he was being watched like a hawk by Anika? The stress involved in marrying a bad wife. He shook his head in distress. He was going to give Brie what she deserved no matter what it took. He sat at his desk determined. Anika was jumpy at every moment she saw her husband. She knew he wanted to give that Brat her inheritance but not under her watch. She had planted spies all over who were watching her husband’s move. She needed to be sure that he didn’t do anything stupid. What Anika didn’t know was her husband knew he was being followed. She thought she was so smart, yet so dumb. Sage was doing so

“…. I missed you,” she ran to hug Aryan when Kendrick told her there was a man outside waiting for her. She hadn’t been talking to him for almost and then a random stranger comes out from nowhere and she’s all over him? Kendrick thought to himself angry.“ I missed you too, where’s your husband can I say hi to him?” Aryan asked smirking. “ Um, hi.” Kendrick said behind both of them. “ You must be Kendrick, her husband. I’m her best friend, Aryan it’s been nice meeting you..” he introduced without Brie saying a word.“ Same, I have a meeting and I’d see you later,” he said walking out of the house as fast as he could.“ Cut him some slack Brie, the poor man wants you to talk to him. Didn’t you notice how happy he was when you acknowledged him as your husband? What more do you want?” Aryan asked as they both headed to the kitchen. “ Hi Alyssa, meet Aryan my best friend, Aryan , Alyssa my friend and our help.” Brie introduced taking a bottle of juice out o the fridge. “ I hope he see

Brie kept banging on the door and yelling for help but to no avail. She was cleaning Kendrick’s room and spotted a small door at the far left corner of the room. She hadn’t noticed the door there for the number of times she had been in that room. Curiosity got the best part of her and she opened the door to see what was there unfortunately for her she got locked inside. It was a small elevator that led to the roof top but for now it was faulty.Alyssa wasn’t hearing her shouts because she was in the laundry room that was far from where Brie was. Her phone wasn’t on her at that moment as well because Brie had been calling but no answer. Aryan’s phone was off too. She was at the verge of having another panic attack which would be worse than the previous one. The only person who could help was her husband and she needed him so.she called his number. It rang once , then twice before he answered. “ Help me,” she managed to say in between sobs.“ Where are you? Is everything okay? What h

“ I’m sorry I couldn’t come check on you boo-boo,” Aryan said pulling her cheeks. Padma and Aryan had come over to pay her a visit after she told them about what had happened to. Aryan wasn’t so much in shock because he knew about her being claustrophobic, but Padma wasn’t aware that’s whys she was so much worried about the well being of her friend. “ I’m glad you’re fine Brie, I really am.” she smiled. “ Thanks Padma, it was a scary experience considering the fact that no one’s lines were going through except Kendrick,” she smiled at the mention of his name.“ Seems both of you are getting cozy,” Aryan wiggles his eyebrows making her blush.“ Yeah, but I’m afraid he may go back to his of ways soon.” she sighed. “ You could stick to pretend suspicious phone calls and messages,” Padma suggested. “ That’s actually not a bad idea, we can also go out on dinner dates too. But let’s put the date part on hold for now and proceed with the calls. I’d let you know when to start,” Brie stat

“ You’re up early and all dressed today any occasion?” Kendrick asked pecking his wife on her face.“ I have work,” she answered briefly.“ Work? Are you traveling to LA again?” he asked lost. She hadn’t said anything concerning her achievement after he found out he had opened a nail salon for his sister.“ No, I work here in LA.” “ But..”“ I know, I found someone who helped me with my dream of having another branch of my company here, something I asked for your help for how many months? But nada,” she bit her lip to prevent her from spilling that she knew he had opened a nail salon for her sister. “ I was working on it Brie, I got some contacts and all. By the way who helped you?” he shamelessly asked. “ Really? Really Kendrick? You were working on it? How long did it take you to——never mind.” She cut it short not wanting to go there but he had to press on.“ To what Brie? Finish your sentence goddammit,” he banged his fist on the table making her flinch.“ HOW LONG DID IT TAKE Y

EPILOGUE" Hey-um , my son is three months old and guess who he looks like? You guessed right...me" he said holding her hand and speaking to her. Malayah had gained conciousness and was discharged two weeks after Brielle and her son were discharged. However, due to the impact Syd had gone into a coma. Everyone was devasted by the news but the one who was affected most was Kendrick.

He had caught her a couple of times silently crying.

"... and to my dearest wife I----" Wow, you thought you could read the will without the lawyer and the rest of the family?" Malayah asked as she walked in with the lawyer, Brielle and her husband." Anika stood opening and closing her mouth like a fish under water." I-um-er..." she stuttered." You thought I was dead?" the lawyer chuckled taking his seat as Cerys glared at her aunt." And I thought this was family only? What's Cerys doing here?! She wasn't related to my dad in any way." Brielle added siting down with the help of Kendrick. They had security men in vantage points in case something went wrong." She's my family," Anika added." Oh...wow! Bravo. It all makes sense how you both suddenly became close and how my dearest cousin wanted to kill me." she added to the shock of everyone." Yes Cerys, you pretended to be a good cousin to me to gain my trust. As soon as I saw you and this witch together on different occasions I knew I had to do my own investigation. I found out how

"... and he was my dad as well," Malayah said entering the lawyers office with her guard at the door. She had a tip that Anika had gone to see the lawyer and she knew pretty well what that woman can do. There was no way she was loosing to her. " Ah Malayah, fancy seeing you here," she said through grit teeth. " I wish I could say same. I didn't know we had a meeting today...good day Mr Jones," she said taking a seat beside Anika. " There isn't , Mrs Scott-Roberts came in a few minutes just before you did. I didn't call her," the man added. Malayah could see Anika's face twitch in anger, but she didn't give a rats ass about how she felt. " Thanks for having me Mr. Jones, and don't forget what we talked about before we were interrupted," she said walking out of the door. 'How the hell did that bitch know where she was? Did she follow her or have someone follow her?' She asked her self getting into her car before letting out an angry scream. " I don't think she was, she wasn't hom

" You what?! It was a simple task! How could you miss him?" Anika yelled in her room frustrated. She needed to get her hands on her husband's will to make changes and in order to do that the lawyer had to go. Now, here lies the case where her men missed the target. " He was too fast and he was in the midst of a pool of people, it has hard to target him," the man added. " That's no excuse, you could have chased him down or something," she added on frustrated. " The police were on patrol Anika, we couldn't risk our cover being blown." " Fix it!" she yelled ending the call. She needed to lay hands on that will no matter what it took. She had come a long way to loose out on Scott's property. She was his legal wife , thus she and her child deserved the lion share despite what the will said. She needed to alterate it to her advantage. " Is he safe?" Malayah asked her men. " Yes, for now he is. Though she's plotting other ways on how to eliminate him," he answered. " Keep an eye on

"I just received a message from the lawyer, saying that the reading date of your father's will has been postponed." Anika said angrily on the phone. Immediately after receiving the email, she set up a conference call with Cerys and Sage. "No explanation why it was cancelled?" Cerys asked, lying on Aryan's chest. "Nope," "Relax mom, I think he's busy with something else. He'll be in touch with us," Sage added casually, rubbing her stomach. She replied with this, although she wasn't content with the others' suggestions. They had come too far to loose out. Too far! “Okay, I will call you when we know about the next steps. Until then, adios!" she added, ending the conversation. Finally, Aryan was able to breathe. He couldn't risk being caught by Anika and Sage if he spoke. His cover has not yet been blown. It was waaaaay to early. " I think someone has a hand in this. Whoever the person is, I'll find out eventually," she said to no one in particular. " I think your friend maybe rig

" But--- " Babe please?" Kendrick begged kissing her hand. She was seven months gone in her pregnancy journey and Kendrick wanted her to take a break from work. Padma and the rest of her staff could handle business without her. She could also handle work from home in his home office or she could have him set up a home office for her. " I'd be bored and feel lazy and--- He cut her off with a kiss making her blush. " Fine, fine I'll work from home, just cause you begged." she teased. " Thankfully , my plea was heard. Thank you," he said staring into her beautiful eyes. Some years ago, he wanted nothing to do with this wonderful soul. He was still hung up on his ex that anything she did or said did not matter to him. He hurt her so much but she stayed trying to make things work out. At first, he used to think she stayed because of the prize at the end...her inheritance. But he was wrong. She genuinely grew to love him along the years and he wasn't going to trade her for anyone else.

Brie stood beside her husband, and friends as she watched her father's coffin being lowered into the ground. Kendrick gently squeezed her shoulder for support. She had her fists balled as she saw Sage, Cerys and Anika shed crocodile tears. This is what they had wanted from the beginning and now they were pretending to love him? Seriously? " As much as I want to strangle them, they're his family too." Malayah said joining her step-sister. "A family that shouldn't have happened in the first place," she scoffed. " I hate them more than you do. But things will fall in place soon, sooner than you expect," she smiled at her. " Am I interupting something?" Anika asked as she approached them. " Were you trying to?" Brie raised her brow. " Hotheaded as usual. I thought marriage or perharps the accident would have changed you," she said making Kendrick visibly angry. " Too bad that didn't go as you planned," she slightly tilted her head smiling deviously at her step-mother. " I shouldn'

Valerie stood infront of her mirror holding the pregnancy test that showed positive. Yes, her father was dead but he had already stated in his will that she needed to get married and bare him a child before she could acess her share of his inheritance. " Step One complete. Step two underway," she said to no one in particular. Her father's death came as an added advantage to her. " Think of the devil, and he shall call." Valerie said as she picked up her phone to answer the call from her baby daddy. ~ Padma paced back and forth in her hall. It had been weeks since she last spoke to and saw Finn, and she decided it was time to bury the hatchet. It was time they called a spade a spade and not a big spoon. Brie was right. She really didn't have time for the relationship she had with Finn and that wasn't fair on his part. Her anxiety peaked as soon as she heard the doorbell ring. It rang once, twice, and on the third ring her househelp rushed to get the door. "Hi, is she in there?" Fin

" He actually signed them?" she whispered as she held her divorce papers in her hands. She wanted Aryan to come to her and explain what was going on but he chose to take the easy way out like the coward he always has been. " Coward!" she screamed as she slid down the wall crying. Their wedding day replayed through her mind as if she was watching a movie. How could he throw away something so beautiful as their love? Unless he had been faking everything from the onset. " Millie?" Aaron called her name whiles knocking on the door. He turned the doorknob and realised the door wasn't locked in the first place. He let hmself into the house as he looked around to see if he could find her. He heard gentle sniffs and sobs from the kitchen and hurriedly headed there. She was seated on the floor with her back leaned on the wall as she let out sobs. " Hey...are you okay?" He asked as he squatted beside her. She wasn't able to utter a word and handed him the papers Aryan had signed while he carr
