The news didnât sit well with Helen and Grace. But, they werenât ready to give up. They planned on waiting for my arrival. Helen acted like she care, âOh, it must have been hard for her been the first time. Well, Wendy didnât ask after us. U canât be too hard was the reason I came here to check on herâ.âSounds good. Itâs just a medical appointment. She would be back soonâ. Madam Lucy turned to Grace, âYou are looking radiant. I like this donât let Michael Carter gets hold of this beauty. He might want to have a tasteâ. She chuckled.Coyly, Grace blushed, âA taste would not kill himâ. Helen liked her daughterâs response truly she came prepared. âAre you sure?. Helen, did you hear what your daughter is saying about the family you dread?â. Madam Lucy knows Helen dreads the Carter family. She doesnât want to have anything to do with the family.She became close to them when Madam Lucy brought the offer. They were the only one who was ready to help to erase the huge debt then. If not she
âSo glad to hear that. I guess Wendy will be happy to see you all. She hasnât seen any member of her family for longâMadam Lucy innocently said. She doesnât know they have a hidden agenda for me.They prepared to take their leave, their first attempt was not successful they have to prepare well ahead for the next one. âThanks for having us aunty, we will be back on Sunday. I miss my sisterâGrace said in a sympathy note.Itâs all lies, that have my number and do come across me on social media. Yet, they havenât written to me for once or called me to check on me. I would have called them or written one of them but, before I finally resulted in Lawrence court.When I was in Val and Brownâs house. They never called to ask where I was when I didnât show up in the house. That shows they do not care about me. So, I shouldnât either.Madam Lucy saw them off to the car. She timed it well that it was when Lawrence was in his room resting. Helen and Grace hopped in the car. Helen ignited the ca
It was like an earthquake was happening around me. These two here?. â what could they be looking for?. Who gave the permission. I was so shocked I had to stop chewing my gum for few seconds. The smell of different perfume I perceived made me throw up.I was quick to face the opposite side where no one was. Olivia ram close to me. âSorry Miss, Take it easyâ. Helen and Grace stopped in t their tracks. Michael rushed towards me. Helen and Grace were shocked by that action. They didnât know what to make out of it. He rubbed my back. âItâs part of the pregnancy stressâMichelle said. It was strange to me as Michael rubbed my back. He must have been carried away. Roxana looked at our direction with her face frowned. When I was done Olivia took me to the washroom.I rinsed my face and threw some water in my mouth. I rinse my mouth. âOlivia did we have some two women in walking towards us in the dining table?â. I asked again to be sure I saw people that I saw for real. I thought the pregnant
That was dramatic and a solid lie. I didn't do any of such but I maintained my silence to hear all they have to say against me. They want to make the Carter family kick me out of the luxury I was enjoying.âHello, get a handkerchief for her. Donât just stand with your sick bossâ. Roxana told Olivia. She was transferring aggression to Olivia. Olivia left the garden to get a handkerchief for Helen. She collected it and wiped her fake tears with it.âI just came back from Peterside. She was still unreachable. I decided to trace her here. I saw her absence, so I decided to come here todayâ. Michelle looked from me to my stepmother. âWendy, all she said is it true?âMichelle asked. I looked at Helen and Grace. I donât want to go into long words battle with them. They donât worth it.âShe is lying and she knows itâ. That was only I said. I donât need to swear or show evidence of them lying. Doing that means I still care or I was pained. âAll that should not be our business anyways. Itâs betw
Watching them leave hurt Helen and Grace. It was a low embarrassing moment for them. They stayed for a few minutes more. âWe would like to take our leave now,âGrace announced. âOkay, itâs nice having you both around. Michael will meet up with your daughter,âMichelle said.âOkay, we will come once in a month to check on here. Every last Sunday preferablyâHelen suggested. âThatâs cool for us. ByeâMichelle waved at them.The mother and daughter leave the house quietly. They hopped into Helenâs car. âAt least, we have invested our foot in there. It wonât be easy to remove itâGrace said. They are on the way to achieve their mission. Itâs getting closer to them. The didnât bother to check on madam Lucy. Their main purpose was Michael and Grace has gotten his contact. Madam Lucy means nothing to the ungrateful souls.Olivia knocked on my door, I opened up. She and the house helper drags the boxes into my room. It was six boxes filled with maternity wear. There were so many dresses that if I
âYou can go in,âLaila said. She points the way to the office to Grace. Grace raised her face. She was done signing the book. âThank youâGrace walks in. She pushed the door gently. Laila looked at Grace as she entered her boss office. She is so beautiful with a nice body shape.âWow, she is beautiful,âLaila whispered. She just canât wait to catch up with the gist. Usual secretary type of thing. Most female secretaries gossip about their boss and people around their boss.âHelloâGrace greeted. âHello, come inside. Michael left his seat, came over to where Grace was and hugged her. âLet me not make it too tight. Beauty should not be compressedâMichael said. He was indirectly praising her makeup.âThank you. Itâs not tight. Itâs okayâGrace blushed. Grace settles on a seat opposite Michaelâs seat. As Grace stepped into the office. Michael was carried away. He hug her instead of shaking hands with her. Michael goes over to his seat. As he settles. Laila knocks gently on the door. âCome in,â
That movement startled Grace. âWhat is this?â. She didnât scream too loud for Laila to hear. The noise was just within the office. Michael realized himself and disengaged after Grace became startled.âI am sorry, I donât know what came over me. You look like a goddessâMichael said lustfully. Grace does not want to give him her body. She wants him to lust over her. So, she can control him and get what she wants. âOk, no offense,â. She carefully moves her body away from him.âAre you sure? You are not pissed at me for harassing youâMichael pleaded. âI am not. Itâs fine. I see it as a mistake,â. Grace said calmly, she adjusted her jacket and fastened the buttons to hold it firmly from slipping away.Michael was thinking in his head how special Grace was. He loves her physic when he first saw her the previous day. He just couldnât talk or admire her because Roxana was there with him. He swallowed everything he wanted to say about her body and reserved it till they met.For rejecting his m
âBut you didnât ask me before fixing the appointmentâ. Grace looked at Michael. He acted like he was shy. âI just think a harmless half an hour wouldnât hurt and it would make up for the wrongful moveâ.âI actually donât know if I can make it out with you todayâGrace resists. She does not want to go with him for the first time. She had a second thought about it because he planned to sponsor her program.âI will have to get permission from my mommy. If I would be goingâShe replied. âOk, go ahead, make the call or send a text. Just inform herâ. Michael urged Grace.âOk,â. She picks her phone and dial her motherâs number. Helen had been expecting her child after she met with Ben. âGrace, are you ready to leave?â. Helen asked. She planned on picking her daughter up after her visitation.âNo mommy, I called to say. I will take a bit longer. But, I will surely come homeâ. Grace looked at Michaelâs face. Michael smiled as Grace approved of going out with him. âOk, I will wait till you are ba
The labor pains were too much and unbearable. My water broke, Michael started and didn't know what to do for a few seconds. âSir, letâs take her to the hospitalâ, Olivia said. He carried me breathing hard. âSir, let me help you, is she not heavy?âThe chauffeur said. âNo, she is carrying my child. She is not heavy and I love her,âHe 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. âI am done forâ. âI want to urinateâ. âThe pain is unbearableâ. 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 couldnât. 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. âDonât let her into my officeâHe told Laila. Immediately, Laila stood guard in front of her boss's office. She could hear Roxanaâs voice shouting as she approached the office. âWhere is the loser?. I will give you a few days. Have your count down you will be off hereâShe boasted.As she made her way to his office Laila stopped her. âI am sure, you donât want to get into a fight with me,âshe frowned. âMrs Carter, you can not enter thereâLaila said. She pulled Laila off the road. Laila staggered to regain her balance she ran after her and pulled her back.She slapped Lailaâs face. âHow dare you touch my expensive body with your filthy hands?âShe yelled. Laila held her cheeks as it stings. Michael heard Roxana slap Laila. He came out of his offic
âIf that will please you. I will do it,âMichael replied. He wasnât willing to argue with Roxana. He knows she has always been jealous of me. Roxana smiled, âGoodâ. âYou know I love you so much. And I will do anything for youâMichael said. âI love you too. Letâs get to sleep. We have to be early for the family breakfast tomorrowâ,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 doesnât want me to go far away from the house because of his child. He didnât sleep early that night. âMy grandfatherâs house. Is it the safest and comfortable for her to stay with my child,âHe 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. âHello everyone, Roxana said she doesnât 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 doesnât 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 doesnât need to prolong issues or look further. Her final finds will be with Michaelâs phone. âItâs fine you all can leave thank youâ,Roxana dismisses the gathering.There was nothing to think about again further. She knows nothing about Michael's job. She was only there as itâs 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. âHello Mrs Roxana CarterâAnn teased her friend. âAnn, stop being naughty,âRoxana laughed. It
Michael sighed, âOk sir. Thank you sirâ. âGood son, you can take your leave now,âLawrence said. Michael hugged his father and took his leave. He joined Rosie in the sitting room. âWhat happened?. Any problem?âShe inquired. âNo, he was only lecturing me on how to take great care of youâMichael lied.Roxana laughed and they left. They hopped into the waiting car and left for Lawrence court expansion. âWelcome to your humble abode my beautiful RosieâMichael announced. Roxana looked around like it was her first time in the house.âOf course Itâs mineâ,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 didnât say anything. âMrs Carter, I am okay now. Hope you are good?â. 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. âMy outfit will be ready next month with my husband and father inlawâMichelle said proudly. âOurs would be ready next month also. Our guest list is prepared,âMrs 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. âRosie, I am really sorry. Next two months. I canât wait for you to be Mrs Carterâ,Michael pleaded.âOk. I have heard. I really canât wait also,âRoxana 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. âMeans I canât quit my job?âshe asked. âYou canât. Except you want to face jail terms or wait till after the two compulsory yearsâCharles told her.She was caught in the middle of a hard task and doesnât know what to do. She was disappointed in herself and doesnât 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 doesnât 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.âGet a letter sent to Grace Jenkins tomorrow telling her to stop work on the company and never set foot there else she would be suedâMichael instructed the lawyer.
Everyone went silent. Michael didnât 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, âWendy used her influence to jail meâ. Grace couldnât 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
âThis could be a misinterpretation. I didnât do anything. She was the one who came to attack me hereâHelen 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.âMichael, really, this is really happening?âShe 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 didnât go to Michaelâs office at all and didnât wait for him by the close of the hour.
