On the way, Grace has questions for her aunt. She was curious to know how she managed to be that rich. The cars she rode are expensive and the community she stays in. Whereas, Jacquelyn and Liberty could hardly afford an apartment. “Aunty which university did you attended?”. Joanna smiles, she looked at her niece and focus on the road. “Did my sister not tell you how poor we were,?”.Grace rolled her eyes, like she was trying to remember something. “She didn’t go into details till I met Jacquelyn and Liberty recently”. Joanna does not really understand what Grace meant.“I am talking about your grandparents not Jacquelyn and Liberty”. Grace nodded, “Yes!, if my grandparents were rich. Jacquelyn and Liberty would not have to be like that. They won’t have to stay in their parent’s house. While the house is looking like it will collapse soon”.Joanna now understands her niece. She was talking indirectly. About them. Joanna scoffed, “Back to your question. I didn’t attend any university.
Jacquelyn's mind came to rest. It’s good they all witness Helen’s movement. Helen wouldn’t talk except when she sees Jacquelyn.The kids could sense all was not right with the family. They have not entered the room. They are only positioned in the sitting room, and they can see their belongings outside the house. “Mommy, you don’t look good”. Liberty’s first child asked.“Just hang on baby, we will be fine soon”. Liberty faked a smile. Many thoughts were running in her head. She was wondering what could have made her sister make such a terrible decision.They had nowhere to go. They had taken shelter in their parents house for a long time. Helen wasn’t taking pity on them. She has always had a strong mind since her childhood and is a risk taker.She rarely reverses her decisions. Liberty was just hoping it would end well between them. There was no shelter in reserve for them and their kids. She helped pick Jacquelyn’s kids from school also.Jacquelyn arrived half an hour later. Ethan
“And she couldn’t call to know where the whole family disappeared to since yesterday”Michelle said. This was the reason I wasn’t too happy with their appearance. Last night, I had a good time having dinner alone. With no eye contact with anyone.“Good Morning. Welcome everyone”,I greeted. “Answer the question she asked you,”Denzel said. I don’t even know what to say. “I am sorry”I replied. Michael exhaled, “Let her be. She doesn’t matter now. Roxana matters more”. The breakfast time was due. We ate in silence. I tried as much as possible to avoid eye contact.I didn’t bother to bring my phone to breakfast. No need to go to the garden. They were supposed to be at work but stayed back because of Roxana and Michael’s quarrel.I left for my room after breakfast. As I was about to enter my room. I saw madam Lucy, coming out of the room where the baby items were kept.It’s been long since I saw her around the house. I entered the room. She didn’t see me. I was getting bored staying in the r
Cautiously, Michael does not want to call Roxana at the spot. He dropped her message. “I can’t wait for us to be together”. He doesn’t want to rush her with talks. “Ok”Roxana replied.That was the only response she typed. Nevertheless, it was a good one for Michael. “We have to go home now,”Michelle announced. Denzel yawned, “Yes, we need to get some sleep. We are going to work tomorrow”.They all walked outside, Michelle and her husband hopped into their car. “Michael, allow the old man to rest. Go to your house”Michelle said. Everyone laughed. “Allow him to stay with me,Michelle,”Lawrence chuckled.“You have forgotten he has no room in this house anymore,”Denzel recalled. “Yes,good reminder,”Michelle added. “My grandfather’s room is still available and open to me. Anytime,anyday”Michael said. He stuck his tongue outside. Making funny faces at his parents.The chauffeur starts the car engine. They waved goodbyes. The chauffeur drove them away. Michael walked back to the house with hi
Doctor Mason smirked, “I don’t know what to ask. I know it’s the beast in human form, Michael, that did this to you. As he will regret it this time”. Doctor Mason got angry at the state of my body.“I just hope the baby is okay”I said sadly. My whole body aches. I couldn’t allow Doctor Mason to touch the wounds. He exhaled. He looked at me pitifully. He kept shaking his head. He was dumbfounded and hurt.I could see it in his face. He wasn’t pleased with the marks he saw on me. “If this continues you will not only lose your baby. But also your life. You have to fight for your life at this point”.I sat on a chair. I don’t even know what to do. All my body aches. “I knew I was in a deep state. I am fighting depression and bitterness. Hatred is all I see all the time. I leave in fear. I wish I could get a chance to go out and come back”. I lamented bitterly.“If you truly want to live. You will have to follow everything I say. Comply with it. And you will have little freedom and pursue
Helen watched as the couples got water from a nearby tap and entered the garage to have their. Helen does not know what to do next.Jacquelyn had returned to the room to tell her husband what she saw. For being hardworking Helen likes Liberty for it. Unlike Jacquelyn and her husband who just lazy around.She was on her way to see Joanna and her daughter. Staying there was getting boring for her. Joanna was already at her work place. She took a cab there.Helen had not been there before. She was stunned at the sight of the store. The whole place was spacious and beautiful. The shop is worth a million dollars with the equipment and all.The receptionist directs her to Joanna’s office. She entered. Grace was helping to select new designs of buttons that arrived from France. “Hello my dear”She hugged her sister. Grace stood up to greet her mother. “Mommy, welcome”. Grace hugged her mother, “I miss you baby but I know Grace is taking good care of you”.Helen looked around. She couldn’t g
They look more determined. “It’s good if you trace it. It’s not bad if you liberate your mother from all this suffering and get back to school yourself”. Joanna stated. “Yes aunty,”Grace chuckled.“Where can I put the house on lease for people to get notifications. I want to put it on lease before traveling back”Helen mentioned. “I will help you with that but you said the house is in a bad state”Joanna suggested.Helen has another bite on the burger and drops it. Grace was listening to their conversation. Helen answered,“Yes, the house is in a bad state. If they pay in advance I will do some little touches. I obviously do not have money to renovate it now”.“I doubt if anyone can do that these days except the house is in an environment like ours. But at that place I doubt it”Joanna chuckled. “I actually do not have money for renovation to be frank. Jacquelyn and Liberty did me dirty. I can’t allow them to stay in there anymore”Helen vows.They are her sisters and the house belonged t
He checked his phone. Roxana had hung up. “I will call you later, let me sort the problem at hand”. He said to himself. He raced to the doctor’s office with his family.It was the stress Doctor Mason wanted them to go through. Now he wasn’t done with them yet, he planned to make them regret every single pain Michael brought to me.“Doctor, please hope the baby will be saved please?”Michael pleaded. He was pleading when his parents entered the office. They have never seen him so remorseful. He was pleading like a baby whose toy was snatched. “The injuries are too much on a pregnant lady. I do not know how long it will take. I only said a month”. Doctor Mason answered without making contact with any of them.He continued with the work on his table. “Mason, what are the chances?”Denzel asked. “The chances with the baby or the mother, which one of them?”He answered nonchalantly. “Both. Of course, it’s the mother that is carrying the child”Michael said.So, he truly cares about my health.
The labor pains were too much and unbearable. My water broke, Michael started and didn't know what to do for a few seconds. “Sir, let’s take her to the hospital”, Olivia said. He carried me breathing hard. “Sir, let me help you, is she not heavy?”The chauffeur said. “No, she is carrying my child. She is not heavy and I love her,”He said with a straight face.He carried me to the car himself. He laid me at the back seat, he placed my head on his lap. Olivia sat beside the chauffeur. I was groaning in pain as we headed to the hospital. I was feeling cold and hot at the same time. It got to a stage where I feel like death was waving at me.I held on to Michael's clothes screaming and crying. “I am done for”. “I want to urinate”. “The pain is unbearable”. I was talking and crying. Michael kept telling me sorry uncountable times till we got to the hospital. I was rushed in for an emergency.I tried birthing the child myself but I couldn’t. Michael called his parents to tell them I was in
The attitude pissed off Michael. He was so embarrassed he had to leave the scene. He has never been disgraced in front of his workers like that ever.Roxana stormed after him to his office. Michael was able to walk faster than her to his office. “Don’t let her into my office”He told Laila. Immediately, Laila stood guard in front of her boss's office. She could hear Roxana’s voice shouting as she approached the office. “Where is the loser?. I will give you a few days. Have your count down you will be off here”She boasted.As she made her way to his office Laila stopped her. “I am sure, you don’t want to get into a fight with me,”she frowned. “Mrs Carter, you can not enter there”Laila said. She pulled Laila off the road. Laila staggered to regain her balance she ran after her and pulled her back.She slapped Laila’s face. “How dare you touch my expensive body with your filthy hands?”She yelled. Laila held her cheeks as it stings. Michael heard Roxana slap Laila. He came out of his offic
“If that will please you. I will do it,”Michael replied. He wasn’t willing to argue with Roxana. He knows she has always been jealous of me. Roxana smiled, “Good”. “You know I love you so much. And I will do anything for you”Michael said. “I love you too. Let’s get to sleep. We have to be early for the family breakfast tomorrow”,Roxana said. They went to bed.Michael was thinking of how to go about the request Roxana is asking him. A part of him loves me. He doesn’t want me to go far away from the house because of his child. He didn’t sleep early that night. “My grandfather’s house. Is it the safest and comfortable for her to stay with my child,”He said to himself.He thought all through the night about how to go about the request. He could hardly sleep. His thought was going wild. He finally got to sleep.They came over for breakfast on Sunday morning as usual. Before breakfast started, Michael announced on the table. “Hello everyone, Roxana said she doesn’t want Wendy staying in the
Roxana knew it was Grace Jenkins the cleaner was referring to. For Laila not to talk. She was taking side with her boss. She doesn’t want to lose her job. I kept mute for a while.Obviously, Michael is cheating on her with Grace. She got the facts she needed. She doesn’t need to prolong issues or look further. Her final finds will be with Michael’s phone. “It’s fine you all can leave thank you”,Roxana dismisses the gathering.There was nothing to think about again further. She knows nothing about Michael's job. She was only there as it’s the tradition of the Carter to always make their wives the managing director. She is only good in her make-up field.She rested her back and called Ann as it was the plan between both of them to get rid of all the side ladies when she resumes power and to divorce after a few months.Ann picked up her phone as soon as she saw it was Roxana that was calling her. “Hello Mrs Roxana Carter”Ann teased her friend. “Ann, stop being naughty,”Roxana laughed. It
Michael sighed, “Ok sir. Thank you sir”. “Good son, you can take your leave now,”Lawrence said. Michael hugged his father and took his leave. He joined Rosie in the sitting room. “What happened?. Any problem?”She inquired. “No, he was only lecturing me on how to take great care of you”Michael lied.Roxana laughed and they left. They hopped into the waiting car and left for Lawrence court expansion. “Welcome to your humble abode my beautiful Rosie”Michael announced. Roxana looked around like it was her first time in the house.“Of course It’s mine”,she said proudly. Michael laughed ignorantly at Roxana's words. The manager of soulmate beach reached out to Michael to enable them to publicize the wedding to the public. The wedding videos and pictures had not been heard and kept away from the public.Michael authorized it to be blown out to the public. The very night the videos and pictures were released to the public. It gained ten million views in six hours before the day breaks. The so
Rosie looked at Michael and liked what a liar he is. She kept quiet and didn’t say anything. “Mrs Carter, I am okay now. Hope you are good?”. Before Michelle could reply it was time for breakfast to start.No one talked about it anymore. They started breakfast as usual. We all ate. After breakfast I know I have no business with them as the gathering specifically was for the marriage discussion.They all move to the garden to have a better discussion about the wedding. “My outfit will be ready next month with my husband and father inlaw”Michelle said proudly. “Ours would be ready next month also. Our guest list is prepared,”Mrs Briggs said smiling.Mr Briggs and Denzel left the women to have other discussions somewhere else. Roxana and Michael moved away from their parents also to have their discussions. “Rosie, I am really sorry. Next two months. I can’t wait for you to be Mrs Carter”,Michael pleaded.“Ok. I have heard. I really can’t wait also,”Roxana said. She smiled and pecked him.
Obviously, Grace was ashamed of herself to tell Charles what she had done all in the name of pleasing Michael. “Means I can’t quit my job?”she asked. “You can’t. Except you want to face jail terms or wait till after the two compulsory years”Charles told her.She was caught in the middle of a hard task and doesn’t know what to do. She was disappointed in herself and doesn’t know how to face Michael and Laila at work.Michael had begun to process how to recover my company back to me and take it away from my step mother and step sister. He heard Helen swear to sue and also Grace saying the same thing. He doesn’t want them to win over me.Before we went to beg that night he called the lawyer over to Lawrence court. I was asked to narrate everything and I told the lawyer about how the company was originally for my mother and I.“Get a letter sent to Grace Jenkins tomorrow telling her to stop work on the company and never set foot there else she would be sued”Michael instructed the lawyer.
Everyone went silent. Michael didn’t care about how the look Grace gave him. He was only after getting justice for me and to stop Helen threatening me. The lawyers from both sides argue for some minutes. The evidence of Helen pushing me away was shown to the Judge and my medical report after I was taken to the hospital.The judge ruled out a month imprisonment for Helen. The judgement broke her heart. She has never been to a police precinct before talking more of staying there over the night and being charged to court and being imprisoned.She was bittered by the sentence. She screamed in the court, “Wendy used her influence to jail me”. Grace couldn’t hold herself together. She burst into tears. Tears ran down her cheeks uncontrollably. She hit deeper into her lower lips. What a terrible day for her.Definitely, one of the worst days of their lives. Helen cried as the cops escorted her to the waiting vehicle to take her to the prison. Grace races to meet up with her mother. She held
“This could be a misinterpretation. I didn’t do anything. She was the one who came to attack me here”Helen yells as she enters the police van. Her workers looked on. When she got to the police precinct Michael was there. Helen was shocked when she saw him. Her hope was for Michael to support him and be against me but the case was in another view. I was the one winning over her.“Michael, really, this is really happening?”She threatened. Michael tabled all she did and some of the cops came to the hospital to see me. They even speak with the nurse who directs them to doctor Mason.He shed more light on it which implicates Helen more. With no further ado. She was detained and soon he charged. Michael used his power to ensure she is granted bail. No one called Grace at the office to tell her anything had happened to her mother.She works at her department to continue the creation of another robot. She didn’t go to Michael’s office at all and didn’t wait for him by the close of the hour.
