“Bitch???” Ramona repeated, as she found the word disrespectful. She looked up to see the person that just talked and her eyes widened when she saw the person's face.Immediately, she retracted her steps.“Belle,” Ramona said, with her eyes widened.Deacon appeared as he held Belle firmly.“Is she okay?” Ramona questioned.“She got herself drunk, and presently she's mad at me,”Belle staggered as she starts cussing, trying to leave the compound when Ramona stopped her, and Deacon joined her in taking Belle upstairs to the guest room.“Why did she drink?” Ramona asked.“She was drugged and luckily I came in at the right moment to save her.”“Bastard!!! I'm feeling heat,” Belle cussed out loudly.“Effect of the drug, she did not mean to call you a bitch so don't take it seriously. By tomorrow, she will be screaming in regret,” Ramona nodded, getting lost as she wondered what kind of drug could make Belle cuss.She's good at cussing normally but this cuss tonight is extraordinarily diffe
“If you buy the company, Deacon, do you think it will generate a good profit, and why that company particularly?” Sebastian asked. He's in his office having a serious conversation with Deacon who sat in front of him rubbing his hands.“It will, people mostly use paper companies. Sebastian trusts me, and how's Ramona?”“She's fairing good,” Sebastian responded, glancing at his phone. Ramona does call him once in a while to check up on his welfare.His office door opened, and Elon came in then bowed slightly.“Sir, you need to see this,” Elon said, and Sebastian's phone rang immediately. He told Elon pause then picked his phone as he answered the call.“Sebastian,I'm in trouble. In a big mess” He heard Ramona's voice, and Elon moved closer to him, and showed him his tablet.News about Ramona being arrested for assaulting, and robbing the Walker's family.Seb tightened his fist as he heard her sobbing and let out an angry sigh.“Ramona, stop crying, I will sort this out, just keep quiet
“To get alimony, a little money or property that will be useful for us. I want you to be independent and I also want to be independent, and be comfortable,” Ramona replied amidst her sob and Sebastian kissed her forehead.“You did well, I'm proud of you but you did not go there. How dare they touch my wife, and get her arrested,” Ramona chuckled, She went to sit. “I never knew I would bump into you here, I thought Deacon and Belle just brought me to have lunch,” Ramona said.Sebastian chuckled in amusement as he went to sit on the chair, and a waitress came to them.“What would you like to order?” Ramona checked the menu, and her eyes widened at the amount.“Don't worry, I will just go for a bottle of water, the two of us,” She said, and the waitress was caught off guard before leaving the room.“Why water?”“Why will a meal cost so much, don't worry when you get home, I will serve you a good meal,” Ramona replied, closing the menu book as she placed the book back on the table.“You
Sebastian walked towards his office with Elon following him behind. “Why is everywhere lousy?” Sebastian asked, keeping his head straight as he entered his office.“There's an interview going on downstairs, remember you said you need a secretary that will attend to the office schedule while I attend to your outside business schedule,” “So the interview is today,” Sebastian said, and Elon nodded. He went to sit on the sofa, and Elon stood at his side as they over the meeting they just had.“Ramona hasn't called,” He mumbled.“She's having an interview right now,”Sebastian gave Elon a glance before facing front as he cackled. “Interview?? Where?”“Here, she's downstairs,”“Really, let's go and see how she's going to perform,” Sebastian said, and stood up as he left his office, and Elon followed him.He entered the elevator going to the 10th floor, and soon, the elevator door opened, and Sebastian stepped out with Elon following him behind.The interviewees outside, getting ready to b
Ramona retired on the couch groaning loudly. Belle took off her heels and sighed heavily then laughed.Her eyes met with Ramona's eyes and they burst into a loud laughter. They had so much fun and moved from the shopping mall to a lot of places to have fun.“Thank you for today, I really appreciate it,” Ramona appreciated, and Belle smiled.“I should be the one appreciating you for marrying my brother not minding his scars, and the rumors circulating around him even though it's beginning to taint your image,”Ramona cackled. “It's nothing, I'm always the center of attraction and bullies so I don't see it as a big deal,” She said, cackling.“Okay then, I will go and get myself some chocolate, do you care for one?” “No, I will take a pass, I have a monthly visitor so I can't take something sweet,” Ramona explained and Belle nodded, understanding her situation.Ramona stood up, and carried the shopping bag upstairs. She got inside her room, and placed the bag on the bed, and her eyes gl
The next day, an alarm woke Ramona up as she sprang up from the bed. It's 6:30. She hurried to the washroom and had her bath.After bathing, Ramona dried her wet body with a towel. She applied lotion on her body then hurried to her closet to pick a dress.She picked a pencil skirt, and blue shirt. She tucked in and coupled her dressing with a black heels.Ramona walked to the mirror and checked her reflection out smiling. She applied treatment on her hair before packing it up in a ponytail.She took her fancy handbag, with her phone as she gently stepped out of her room making sure she didn't wake Fluffy up.Ramona went downstairs to see the dining table ready. “Lady Mary, good morning!” Ramona greeted, raising her voice up, as she grinned.Lady Mary already prepared toasted bread and tea for her as breakfast. Ramona began to eat and Lady Mary came out from the kitchen smiling.She held a fancy bottle in her and it's occupied with hot coffee. “This is hot coffee to keep you awake and
Ramona followed him inside the meeting room, and stood behind him as watched the employees become quiet as they glued their eyes on the table.She began to wonder why they are quiet, and calm. Are they trying to compose themselves? Or are they scared of him?“What's the sales for this week?”“40 million,” Ramona's eyes widened at the amount she called out, and she quickly composed herself. Indeed he's stinky rich for him to be able to purchase the penthouse and cars, and give it out as a wedding gift.“You are fired!” His growl brought Ramona back to reality as her eyes widened. Did he just fire her?? Before she knew it, she saw a young lady around her age on her knees.“You make a simple typo, what if it was our client that saw the typo not me, just guess what will happen. You know I hate mistakes even when humans are bound to make one. You made a silly mistake and wants me to overlook it, I don't give second chance,” Ramona watched the young lady with pitiness written in her eyes.
At night, Ramona entered the living room grinning ear to ear feeling tired and at the same glad she now has a job that she can depend on.Lady Mary came out from the kitchen to see Ramona. “Ramona,”“Huh….. Lady Mary,” Ramona called, in a low tone as she grimaced. She hugged Lady Mary who stroked her back gently.“How was work?”“It was interesting, not bad and it was a little bit stressful but I don't mind,” She replied, and Lady Mary nodded.“Go and have your bath before the water become cold,”Ramona kissed Lady Mary cheek smiling before going upstairs to her room holding her handbag.She got inside to see Fluffy staring at the TV with its eyes shut. She smiles before dropping her bag on the bed. Ramona switched off the TV, with off her dress as she walked in the washroom. She had her bath, and after bathing, she stepped out of the washroom.She dried her body with a towel then wore her pink pajamas and a hair band as she packed her up in a bun.Ramona walked towards Fluffy, and c
As the day drew near to dusk, the earth cast a dark cloud in the sky, telling the little foxes to go for a rest.At HILILi Estate that night, the whispers of two adults could be heard from a corner of the garden. The whispers were accompanied by sweet kisses and giggling of two lovers, who hid themselves in their warmth inhaling the breath, from each other’s nostrils as they stood gazing uninterruptedly at each other's eyes.However, the aura inside the house was pretty tense as the voice of a woman screaming her life out, and of children jumping in merriment could be heard from the large living room of the opulent home.Amidst the ruckus from inside the building, Ramona and Sebastian wrapped up themselves disregarding the distraction from the kid. They trusted Lady Mary and Dianna to handle the situation. The moment was blissful as the family came to understand why they must forgive each other and allow love to lead.The reconciliation between Ramona and Sebastian affected everythi
Despite the hurt in Belle’s heart from a broken friendship, she still gave Ramona a hug when they got home.In her confusion, Ramona didn't know that her new boss was a friend of Deacon. According to Deacon, Scott told him about the feelings he had grown for Ramona but only got to know the truth after he showed Deacon a picture of Ramona he took while she wasn't aware.That day as Romona stepped her foot to the home she once found comfort and solace, a drop of tears tickled her eyes. Belle’s home still bore the love and warmth she knew even after five years.Belle, after a warm treat, poured out all her grievances at what happened five years ago. In a heated conversation, Belle asked Romana if she had been pregnant with Sebastian before she left the house.The air still as a question that would clear the doubt of everyone was thrown at Ramona. With hands clenched to each other, Ramona let out her answers shocking everyone and confirming Sebastian’s words earlier. For days now, Seba
That day, the sky cast bright lights on the roofs of the city, calling it a quiet day from dusk to dawn.It's been a week since Ramona and her family moved from Australia to New York City. Having made enough money to sustain their livelihood, they rented a cozy apartment far from every tiny thing that had to do with Sebastian and the Sinclairs.Having spurred herself to cater for her kids without exposing them to Sebastian and his family, Romona decided to work harder for her money, while Lady Mary took care of the kids.Luck played its way around herself and Dianna as they got picked by Quib Technology, one of the most popular companies in New York City after the N.C. group. The company’s pay was mouth watery too so Ramona didn't have to worry. That morning while it was day's break, Romona got up from bed to the kitchen, trying to get a lot fixed before going off to work. She loved her new job but it was a bit strenuous yet, she had no will.For days after the encounter with Sebasti
Standing dumbfounded by the hallucinating scenery that was yet to unfold before Sebastian, he lifted his numbed cold feet, increasing his pace to meet up with the woman who just walked past him a while ago.In an attempt to re-identify with the woman, Sebastian called,” Ramona” His breath longing for clarity and confirmation at the people he just saw. Sebastian’s voice echoed deep into Ramona’s soul sending an impassive sensation into her once-broken heart. With eyes filled with tears in an overcome battle of forgiveness from the past, Ramona made a slow turn, avoiding the interruption from the busy airport. Having Kain, one of Sebastian’s heirs in her hand, Ramona with her head buried on the floor, stood face-to-face with Sebastian, her body longing for his warm hug.The noise from the busy airport and the trailing sound of luggage struck yet, a certain acute silence swept both Sebastian and Romona's feet as they stood to face the reality that now seemed clear before Sebastian’s e
The morning sun rose down the earth that morning, calling it a Monday morning in New York City.Being the only one left in the grand house at HILLI Estate, Sebastian has learned by compulsion how to go shopping and make his food without the help of anyone. Five years of Ramona's departure taught him a lot about life. Since he had wiped off all his enemies, his life has been peaceful without him having to be bothered about foes threatening his life anymore.He has been conceiving the thought about getting a child lately seeing that he was childless and needed an heir over all he has. Having resolved to go back to his formal way of life, Sebastian had decided never to get married again but to adopt a child for himself. That morning as he was preparing to go out, he got a text from Elon telling him about the business meeting he was having the next day in Los Angeles and his flight had been scheduled to leave that day.Vaguely unaware of these plans, Sebastian angrily calls Elon back to
The day became brighter as Romona's babies began to increase in height and so Romona began to feel the need to introduce them to their father. The winter season was over and Romana could not believe it was five years already. Lady Mary has been pestering Ramona on the need to go back to her husband and makeup with him but Romona has been adamant claiming she could raise her kids alone.As the family sat in the living room, Kayla, the one female amongst the boys came crying to Ramona, reporting Kain and Kelvin, her older brothers to her Mom.“ Mom, Kain takes to and doesn't want to give it to me” Kayla cried more, her eyes seeking comfort and justice.Lady Mary being a grandmother figure to the little children, carried Kayla and consoled and wiped off her tears. Soon, the two boys, Kain and Kelvin came running toward Ramona and Lady Mary.“ You boys, don't make your sister cry next time again, okay?” Lady Mary warned, putting Kayal down to have a word with Romona.Chuckling, the boys
In Australia, the buildings and roofs were covered with the first drop of snow reminding the residents that Winter was here. The previous season, Autumn, was favorable to Ramona and Her newfound family. Ramona glanced at her protruding baby bump and smiled. She was in her EDD. She couldn't believe that it was nine months already and she was expecting the arrival of her newborn.She rubbed her stomach with extra happiness ringing in her heart. That morning, Ramona sat on the bed of their three-bedroom apartment, heavy from the weight of her pregnancy. Australia has been a home of safety and protection for Ramona and her unborn. Life in New York City tore her to the bone but she was shielded from All of that tempest immediately she arrived in Australia. Ramona could still remember the one man she had ever loved. The scars and tumult were imprinted in her memory forever but the joy of his seed, ready to be born gave her a new hope. Her pregnancy was the only remains of Sebastian in
That morning, Brett, without any expectations, did come earlier to the company like everyone else. Engulfed by a serene environment with no tempest, Brett resumed his duty but was taken aback when Elon burst into the office with two policemen by his side and under a cold breath, he muttered”, What is happening here? What are you doing here with these men, Mr. Elon?” his eyes sparkled, fear written in them.“ You are under arrest, Mr Brett. You are advised to remain silent because whatever you say shall be used against you in the court of law” One of the Policemen said.Perplexed at the situation, Brett with up with yes fixated on Elon while his hands were handcuffed. “ This had been your plan all along, right? “ Brett with wide eyes glared at Elon, his breath, thrusting up and down like he would swallow up anyone who came to him.“Please take this man away. He had caused the CEO and the company too much havoc” Elon beacon on the policemen and walked away. Cold, shaken, and broken, Br
That day as Sebastian left Belle’s, he returned to the company to reflect on how foolish he was to have conceded with Kendra’s presence around him. The snake showed up at a challenging time to wreck what he suffered to build for years. After the day’s work, Sebastian stumbled into Brett taking a stroll outside the company to get a cab. He guessed his car developed a fault seeing Brett had never taken a cab home before. Without uttering a word to him, Sebastian zoomed past.Brett, for a second, stood gazing at the rate at which Sebastian’s car sped before retiring back to his phone. Belle’s phone conversation with Sebastian earlier was the reason he permitted Brett and Kendra another chance to breathe sterile air before he took his last revenge on them.For the wound in his heart, he planned to slaughter Brett and Kendra but at the mercy of Belle and Deacon, he spared them to take a night to tour the city otherwise, they might not get the chance to ever catch a glimpse of nature fo
