She was jealous of her friend. She wished she was in the position of Roxana. To have a man madly over her. She had witnessed how he worships her before they had their fight. âThis must be a bad spirit trying to take over me. Why should I be jealous of Roxana? I donât want this time of spiritâShe said to herself.She dropped her phone and fell asleep. She thought that was the only way she could fight off the spirit of jealousy that was about to consume her.In Lawrence expansion. Roxana woke before Michael. She stretched lazily. And checked the ring on her hand. âMy lovely ringâ. She went to the bathroom to have her bath. She changed into one of Michaelâs shirts and phoned her friend.It was Saturday morning. Ann doesnât go to work so early. Or she might not even show up at work. She owns her fashion store and has many employees. She can choose to stay at home or go on weekends.Roxana went to the sitting room to make her call. Calling Ann in the room where Michael is still sleeping wi
Madam Lucy was working in the garden when Helen called. She couldnât answer her call. Helen thought Madam Lucy was still angry and called her two times more.Madam Lucy was still not taking the call. âI guess she is still angry with me. I will call her laterâ. Helen dropped her phone and continued packing. âBy the time you get home, you will know how to coax her,âJoanna said.The packing was done, Helen got a beep she thought was from Madam Lucy. It was Joanna who sent her some money. Helen screamed after opening the message, her eyes widened. âJo, you sent me two hundred thousand dollarsâShe yelled. Helen was surprised. Her joy knew no bounds.âThat is just to support you during your trying times. And to appreciate you for all you did for me to get to where I am todayâJoanna said with a pitiful tone. She got emotional going down the memory lane of how Helen toiled for support the family before getting married to my father.It was after she got married to my father, she had it easy to
Her energy changed when she saw me. She stared at my little baby bump for a few seconds. She hissed softly and faced Michelle. âMy pretty Roxana, how are you, my dear?â. Roxana, who was smiling and waiting to receive Michelle and Denzel suddenly went cold.She tried to hide it but the change in her energy was visible. âMrs Carter, I am very well thank youâ. They hugged themselves. âAnd you look so good in the viral proposal videoâDenzel complimented. âThank you sirâshe hugged him.I came close to them. âHello everyoneâI bow slightly. âHello Wendy, how are you feeling?âMichelle asked. âI am good thanks Madamâ. I sat. âMy boy is ready to become a man,âDenzel chuckled. Michael laughed as he hugged his father, âYes daddy, itâs time to take the bold step like you did years agoâ.Roxana had taken the seat opposite me. She frowned at me but was flashing her ring to my face for me to see itâs a diamond that was encrusted on it. I wanted to greet her but the way she looked at me. Made me withd
I sat in my grace. Looking at them. It was in the moment.I knew Doctor Mason had done good for me. He has inherited a lovely space in my mind that I will never forget. He calmed the beast for me.No family member gets involved in the fight between them. Michael poured some fruits in it and gave it to me. I collected it with a smile, âthank youâ. He held Roxana by the hand. âI am sorry everyone. I will be back soonâ. He walked while dragging her behind.He didnât take her to the car to zoom off to the house. He took her to the main house. In the sitting room, he sat her down. âRosie, do not push me over the head this time. Do not,âhe warned her. Roxana nods, âSo, you are taking sides. You are making her feel she owns youâ.He drop her hand in anger, and paced up and down the room for a few minutes. His palm was on his forehead. âI am trying to be calm with you. Do not push me Rosie. Do notâhe yelled. It was so loud we could hear it faintly in the garden.Michelle scoffed, âHe is becomi
The time Michael called last was past one. Ann had prepared lunch after the call, and it was getting close to dinner time. He still had not called. Itâs past five in the evening. Roxana lost all her hopes.Her energy went back to zero, she became lonely despite being with her friend. Michael didnât call her. He only wanted to know if she had gotten home.Since the case of me being photographed and attached to him. He was trying to thread softly and avoid anything that will tarnish his image or make him get arraigned in court of law.âAnn, I am losing itâ. Roxana said with a heavy heart. She can not imagine the wedding plan being cancelled. She canât stand it. The news will go more viral and the shame from seeing another woman with him can ruin her.All her life revolves around him. âThere is an atom of truth in what Michael said. If he doesnât have a child his lineage might go into extinctionâ. Ann sat on the couch with her folded legs, she rested her head on her chin and was looking
The voice sent a signal of happiness to her whole body, she blushed hard. She bit her lower lips before replying. âHello Rosie, are you there?â.Roxana finally opened her mouth to answer, âMikky, my love, I am hereâ. She waited to hear his response. âI have called your friend to know if you have gotten homeâ.She was still caught in the awe of excitement hearing his voice. She changed her voice to sound more sexy and more feminine. âYes, she told me about meâ. Ann fell on the couch reacting to what her friend said. âAre you at home or with your friend?â.Michael asked.She feels Michael is still worshiping her. âI just got to Annâs placeâ. âOk, take care of yourself. I Want to know if you got home safe. Glad you didâMichae said. âOkâRoxana replied. âByeâhe ends the call.That was not what she expected. If it was before he did have to send a chauffeur to bring her back to Lawrence Court. He just aborted the call and didnât say more.Amazed, Ann raised her head from the couch. âHe ends t
She stepped out of the house into the garage. She ignited the car engine. The gatekeeper was sleeping in. She unlocked the gate herself and drove off to Lawrence court. As she drove into the street in the middle of the night.Her hands begin to shake behind the wheels. She was scared anything might happen to her. No one knew she was on the road at that time. She parked somewhere beside the road and texted Ann. Her fingers were trembling. She made errors twice before getting it right.âMichael didnât come home. I am on my way to the Lawrence court to meet him thereâ. She dropped her phone as soon as the message was delivered to Ann. She didn't turn off the carâs engine as she parked beside the road.Immediately, she sent the message. She continued her journey to the Lawrence Court. As she drove her eyes were looking at every direction in fear. Her palms became cold. After some minutes of driving, she saw a car parked at the side of the road. Two men were at the back of the car pulling
Roxana exhaled, âSo, I will be here. Michaelâs fiancĂ©e will stand here till day breaks or whatâShe fumes. The security guard tries to calm Roxana, âMiss, try to understand me. The particular house you are going to belongs to the owner of this whole Courtâ.âWhich is my father in-law to beâ. She interrupts the security guard proving her stand. The security guard was also defending his job. He doesnât want to lose his job. He continued to explain and give reasons to Roxana.âMiss, the house you are going to, the inhabitant is an old man. As you know the sole aim behind this whole placeâ. Roxana cuts in, âFor the old people to restâ.The security guard moved close to Roxana, âMiss, I can see you really understand the code. So, it shouldnât be a cause for alarm or debate between us. You canât get access inside the estateâ.Roxanaâs patient was wearing off, she couldnât drive ahead because the other gates were still locked. She came out of the car and stood beside her car, with her back r
Ann clapped her hands and snapped her fingers, âSmart girlâ. Roxana laughed, shaking her head. She and her friend were having their moment. âI wish we could cheer for this but alcohol isnât allowed in the hospital ward,âRoxana jokes.Her friend laughed, raising her head up. âWhen you are healed up. We will cheer for it. I promise,âAnn said. Roxana has an idea. âI should have a picture of how badly I was hurt by him. So, if I try changing my mind and I look back at the pictures I will be strong heartedâ.âItâs a good idea. I will do you the favorâ,Ann stood. She took her phone to take pictures of the wounds and bruises. She drops her phone and takes Roxanaâs phone. Her parents have brought her phone to her in the hospital.Ann takes the phone to take pictures of the wounds and bruises. When Michael walked in. Ann has started taking the pictures on Roxanaâs phone. Michael saw how Roxana was turning her body and Ann was taking pictures of it.Obviously, the sight irritates Michael. He ha
I looked at Val, my heart suddenly ceased to work. My breath increased. âMa, I donât understand you?âI managed to utter. Helen laughed hysterically, âThis company has been dead for long, did you know how it resurrected?â. Val was shaking her head left and right as she listened to the conversation.âI donât know how it came to be but I know the company belongs to my late father and I am a part of the beneficiaryâ,I said with some confidence although I am sad and heartbroken. âWhen your father was alive the company has you as a beneficiary. But after that it died. So, during the re-establishing you werenât present to contribute to itâHelen lashed out.I raised an eyebrow. Her facts were not corresponding. It was a fact with no genuine talk in it. I tried to defend myself. âI wasnât reached out to. I had no idea all this was going on. I would have contributed to itâI said.âAll I know is that I and Grace has toiled to re-establish and return the factories glory. Do not come back to claim
Michael exhaled, he was shocked with the question Roxana asked her. He never thought she could remember that particular name. âIt is you, I called you that as the new affection name I gave youâ.That was a plain lie Roxana knew. She pretends she was okay with it. âI will think about it. Itâs strange you never called me that sinceâ,She said. The nurses started coming in. Michael was expected to leave till the visiting hour.âI will return at the visiting hour. Take your fruits and supplements to heal up quickâMichael said and left. He went home to bath and get ready for work.As expected, Helen and Grace gets ready for the day. Grace has nowhere to go she has been suspended. However, she didnât tell her mother. Grace drove her to her workplace. âGrace, we are here get down from the car and enter thereâ,Helen says. âOh, sorry MaâShe smiled and alighted from the car.She watched her motherâs car leave and she called Charles. She obviously canât enter the company she has been suspended fo
He gnawed his teeth. âLetâs go to Brentford hospitalâhe ordered his chauffeur. As they drove to the hospital he stopped at a fruit stand. Ordered his chauffeur to get many fruits for Roxana. At a pharmacy he ordered his chauffeur to get some supplements for Roxana as well.He was hoping she forgives him and does not leak the truth to anyone. Unknown to him she has told Ann about it. Ann didnât plan to leak it but to mark out a great plan for whoever he was cheating on that made him beat her up.He entered the hospital and saw Miranda at the waiting room. âMrs Briggs, how are you?âHe asked and hugged her. âMichael, I am okay. And leads from the police?â,she inquired. They disengage the hugs. âMrs Briggs, calm your nerves. I am serious about it. It will be good. I just want my Rosie to get well first,âMichael said.He was trying to calm Mrs Briggs by laying emphasis on Roxanaâs well-being. âCan we go inside now?âHe asked. âNo, the visiting hour is in the next five minutes,âShe said, che
He yelled and pointed in their direction, âWhat is this supposed to mean?. Is this a love garden or a working place?. Who does this romantic show off while at work?â. Everyone around shivered. Michaelâs voice echoed loud around the building.Charles and Grace stood up in fears. Charles has known his boss to be strict man who is feared around. Grace hasnât seen this side of him till that moment. She looked around to see if it was reality.Michael has never been so harsh on her. He just got her a beautiful bracelet the previous day. What could have gone wrong just yesterday to the next day?. She was confused. Other members of the staff stood facing downwards. They donât want to share eye contact with him. Michaelâs breath increased and his face was red while his eyes were splitting fire.âMr Wellington, is this how you head your department?. Playing and showing off affections while at work?âMichael screamed. Mr Wellington could not reply.No one dare replies Michael whenever his angry.
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
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
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
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
