The robotic team was at work. Mr Wellington was inspecting it when Michael walked in. Grace has not seen him since five days ago. She maintains professionalism and acts like he was not important to her.Last time she sent him a message appreciating him for the job well done. He didnât reply to her messages or call back. She wasnât aware he was with Roxana and Ann. And he dares not to do so.âWelcome sirâthey all chorused. âHello, well done. I can see the job is going really wellâMichael said. Mr Wellington stepped forward, âItâs a great success so far. Before the end of this month. It should be finally completed and ready for launchâ.âOk, letâs practicalize it nowâ Michael suggests. He wants to see it himself that it's the same thing he had seen on the computer. âOk sirâCharles said. His name was the third of the list according to people we brough initiative and worked best on the project.Charles unveiled it and starts to operate it pressing different buttons. It was obeying the com
She frowned her face as she approached the inner part of the office. She doesnât want to see Laila at all. Getting to her spot she wasnât there. She had gone to have her lunch. âSilly being isnât on seatâShe hissed as she walked past her table. She knocked on Michaelâs office door.âCome inside,âMichael said, smiling. Grace entered. âOh, you and the sun canât tell which is brightest. You are looking like a shining Angel,âMichael commented. âThank youâGrace blushed. Michael stood his seat and he came around Grace. âCan I get a hug from the shining Queen?,âMichael pleaded.He stretched his two hands to hug Grace. âYou can get it for a few secondsâ,Grace replied. He hugged her warmly and disengaged the hug. âThat is enough to fill my day. Talking about that let me order two lunches for myself and you to be brought hereâMichael said. âYour great impact on the success of the robot is really overwhelming and well appreciated. I will send your works to my Dad to see how brilliant you workâM
âOkâMichael continued to listen. âSure, the money she needs is a million dollars. However, We were able to come up with half of it. So, right now we need five hundred thousand dollarsâ.âOh!âMichael exclaimed. His wedding is fast approaching and he is also in need of money as his wedding cost was on his shoulders to foot.Nevertheless, the money Grace was asking for was chicken feed to him. Giving her was not the problem but he hasnât gotten what he needs from her. âI donât want to ask you. That was the reason I said if I get a âNoâ as an answer. It will ruin my whole dayâ. She exhaled, âI guess my day is ruined alreadyâ. She silently wiped her face.Her pitiful eyes were fixed on the floor. She was sobbing quietly. Michael moves close to Grace. He threw his hands over her shoulder. âWorry not, your day isnât ruined. You are with meâ. Grace wouldnât stop displaying her sadness. She was acting it so well for Michael to pity her.Michael draws her closer and starts rubbing her back. She
Suddenly, Grace jumps on her mother. âWe got it mommyâshe said jubilating. Helen held her daughter tight not to fall. âReally, you got the whole wages for my workers?âHelen said laughing happily. Grace came down to her motherâs body.She was so happy, seeing the way her mother was reacting to the money they got. She felt so proud of herself. She was able to bring a smile to her motherâs face. They are about to forever bounce into luxuries and say goodbye to debt and brokenness forever.Grace has always known luxuries all her life. The one time she experienced brokenness was not immediately after my father died. It was after that. When her mother mismanaged the wealth he left behind. âCome on inside, you deserve the best treatment my darling. You are making me so proudâHelen laughed.They walked inside holding each otherâs hands giggling. It was one of the best nights for them. Settling on the couch, Grace brought out her phone to send the money to her mother. âSent,âshe said, smiling.
Shockingly, she shut the door behind her and ran out. Michael saw her, Grace didnât. She only heard someone banged the door. Laila went back to her seat looking stunned. She never knew they had gone so deep with their relationship.She sat for a few minutes trying to get a clearer picture of what she saw in her head. âWhat did I just see?â. âHow can her boss be having romance at work in his office?â. âWhat if she wasnât in the seat and Roxana stormed the office?â. âIs her boss really having a double affair after proposing publicly to Roxana?â. Those were the questions going on in Lailaâs head.She just couldnât fathom what exactly happened. She stared at the bare floor. âI donât think he can have time for me now, I should visit the cafeteria to have lunchâ. She left her table in the cafeteria. She was only wondering if he had broke up with Roxana to be so bold to smooch Grace in the office.âWho is that?âGrace queried. âRelax, I donât care who was there. I love you, honeypot, and that
âOk sir,âThe chauffeur replied. He didnât know the actual car his boss was pointing at. He only drove off towards the outside. Michael didnât raise his head. He was still dialing Roxanaâs phone number.The chauffeur was still looking around but didnât know where he was actually driving to. And who exactly he was chasing. Roxanaâs number went through and she picked the phone. âHello Michael, what is wrong?â. âRosie, I am sorry, I have been so busy I havenât eaten since. Where are you?âMichael said.âHmm, ok, if that is it. I am at work packing up to leaveâRoxana replied. âOkay, wait. I will be there soonâHe uttered. Michael ends the call.âDrive to Roxanaâs store. Donât chase the car anymore. Tomorrow is another day for thatâHe uttered. Thatâs a sign of relief for the chauffeur because he was only driving and not chasing after any car.If Michael had not mentioned about going to Roxanaâs office it would have been a difficult day for the chauffeur as Michale would get angry if he didn't
Her mother rushed towards her daughter screaming, âHelp! Help!!,Help!!!â. Immediately, two house helpers ran to the spot and helped Roxana up. Her mother got close to her daughter. Her heart stopped for a few minutes.âWhat could have happened to her?â. âWho could have attacked herâ. âThere are bruises and marks all over her bodyâ. And signs of teeth bites. It was a scary scene to watch for the mother over her child. She cried as she inspected the marks and bruises. Roxanaâs eyes remained closed, she wasnât moving or breathing.The mother tried to revive her daughter but she couldnât. She called the emergency number. For some help to come over and help her. They were taking too long. She canât keep watching her daughter lay motionlessly like that.With the help of the house helpers. She was able to carry her in the car. She was crying as they carried her. She couldnât wait for the arrival of the emergency services. She drove her daughter to a nearby hospital.The manner at which she d
He widened his eyes. Ann must have heard what he said. He instantly changed the discussion. âI am sorry for allowing you to go home by yourself. I should have driven you homeâ.Roxana was confused about what he said. She was about to retreat when she saw Ann approaching. She kept mute and didnât argue with him. âOkay, itâs fineâshe hissed.Ann has been a close friend to Roxana for a long time. She knows much of her attitude and body languages. She didnât argue with Michael or challenged him to repeat what he just said.She only tried to send him a message pretentiously. âMichael, use your connection and power to find the culprit. Because if you donât, I will find it out myselfâShe said.Michael exhaled, âI will for sureâ. The project at work was done so Laila had to call her boss. Michael excused himself from the ward to take Lailaâs call. âHello sir, the robot has completed 99.9percent. Itâs okay to be launchedâ. This is great news for Michael and his household.The launch of the rob
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.
