I read through the mail again, avoiding Vee`s curious glance. The way I was going to make Kyle pay for everything! I had to find his proposal tomorrow and then speak to the family`s attorney. I couldn't wait to get at him!`Alright, I know that face. Did Kyle do something again?` she asked, grabbing my phone. `That wicked fellow!`I agreed. `He's wicked, and I am also stupid. I can't believe I forgot about the condo until this mail came in. He just used me!``Calm down. Let's see . Even if you don't sign the documents, he's still going to hand them over to Ava. I don't know much about these things, but I know it's possible to do so if he owns the condo.`I scoffed, collecting my phone. `He's lying. I paid eighty percent, while he paid twenty percent. I gave it up when his mother became unbearable, and he started supporting her. He made it feel like I was being controlled because I technically owned the condo. I wasn't thinking straight then.``Great,` she jubilated, checking the mail again. `That means he's just spilling gibberish. Your dad's attorney can step in on it, right?`I sighed. If only it was that easy. I had to tell her the truth. `I signed the property under Kyle`s name because he wanted it that way. I couldn`t refuse him then because we were newly married, and he brought up reasons why it should be signed in his name alone. I am a big fool, Vee. I just lost another valuable asset to him.` `Hold up. You're confusing me. I thought you paid more than him; why did you not sign as joint partners?` she demanded.`We did, but I signed the whole percentage to him. Like I gave up my money! So he owns everything. The ten percent he's talking about is like compensation for all my troubles. I'm sorry, Vee, but I think I will just let him go.`
She protested. `No, you won't! That's your hard earned money and an inheritance for your grandchild. If Kyle wants to rip you off, He's going to try harder, girl. I`m not going to sit down and let him take something so important from you again.`I said it quietly. `I am planning on using Robert`s plan to start my revenge, and now that he has decided to do this, I can't wait to start.``Okay, okay,` she replied, `I like that. What are your plans?``I have been thinking of a lot of things, but I am still not sure due to the baby. I don't want anything that would disturb my baby.`She smiled. `I get you. I can help out, and firstly, I feel you should allow him to get selected and sign a contract. Then, invest a certain amount and promise him profits, then hit him when he can't meet the target. What do you think?`I divided her suggestion into sections and walked through them. It could work. I could make the idea work.I replied. `I feel it will work. You`re a genius, Vee. An evil one.`She giggled, getting up. `You can't blame me, babe. I am a creative director who needs to come up with plans of all kinds every day. Also, Kyle deserves no mercy.``I can't wait to build the plans properly. You`re going to help me, babe, and once it goes live, there's no stopping.``I am with you, but you know, we still have to involve your parents. Least I forget, did your parents tell you about the money?`I sighed. `No, I didn`t. Although Dad wanted to involve his attorney to sue Kyle for not giving me anything as part of our divorce settlement, I declined. I told him after Mom's birthday party, but I feel I can bring it up when he's at his lowest. I want him to be desperate and in dire need. That's the only way I can get back at him.`She commented excitedly, `You`re actually the evil genius, Tessa. I agree with you, and I am with you all the way. Can we go out now? I'm really craving those chocolate cupcakes.`I chuckled, leading the way out, `It's still a surprise how you manage to keep this model shape. You and junk food are never far from each other.`She opened the car door and said, `I am a lady who uses her gym membership very well. You shouldn`t be surprised, babe.` I nodded, informing the chauffeur where to take us. `Just don`t be careful, alright?` She sighed, calling me a controlling mother after her happiness.`After spending close to a thousand dollars on special cupcake treats, Vera decided we should watch a new movie showing up at the cinema. She was super excited when she discovered her favourite actor was the main lead. My phone buzzed. It was a text from my mom. She wanted to know when I would be returning home because the chauffeur would be closing by nine o'clock.
Gosh! I almost forgot he didn't stay with other workers in the villa`s quarters. He must be exhausted, even though he didn't show it. I remembered inwardly to get some snacks and a cold soda when I got to the vending machine. It's the least I could do. `Vee, mom just texted. The chauffeur closes by nine o'clock, and it's already seven o`clock. When`s the movie going to end?She checked the ticket. `By eight-thirty. Maybe we should let him go and order an Uber or use a taxi. I am sure he needs rest before returning home. What do you think?`Uber would have been great, but my dad won't approve. He had instructed the chauffeur to take me anywhere I wanted and bring me home safely. He won't be pleased; I relieved the chauffeur from his duties without informing him.I answered, after a few seconds of thinking, `As much as I would like to do Uber, I would have to decline. I will just speak to him, and after the movie, we leave immediately, Vee, okay?`She raised her hands and said,'Okay, no problem. Be careful out there; the parking lot can be noisy at times.`
I smiled, walking through the crowd and protecting my stomach. I didn't understand what was so special about the movie, but how could I? I had lost my love for movies while in college. The library and showing up at every party Kyle threw or was invited to had taken my time. Even when I got married, movies weren't a thing in the King`s house except when Kyle`s aunts and cousins came around and stayed for the weekend. I tried to build a movie culture, but Kyle said they were a waste of time and strength, so slowly, my interest in them just died.The parking lot was busy with teenage kids all over the place. I had to walk around vehicles before I saw the chauffeur talking to a cop. I wondered what the issue was as I approached them.`Hello, cop. Is there a problem?` I asked, handing the chauffeur the soda and a box of creamy doughnuts. I could feel his appreciation through his eyes and how he smiled upon receiving the package.
It was a beautiful sight."Thank you, ma`am,` he said, taking one doughnut. `The cop is a friend of mine. He doesn't mean to cause any trouble.`I took in his features: a dark man with a well-groomed chest and alert eyes. `Alright. I came to inform you that we will be leaving by eight thirty. I hope that will be fine. I am aware you`re supposed to close by nine o`clock, so if this arrangement isn't cool, please let me know.``It's alright, ma`am. I will wait till then. You know I can`t disobey your dad's order. ``Okay,` I replied, `It was nice to meet you, sir. `I shook the cop`s hand and returned to the cinema.The movie was already playing when I settled near Vee. She was immersed in the movie, so I took out my phone, checking through my mail. There was a reminder message from Kyle, the real estate agent, but I deleted it and read through the important ones.The movie finished at eighty-five, and I had to apologise to the tired chauffeur. Vee decided she would stay at my place in order not to stress the chauffeur, but I know she was looking for a way to avoid making dinner herself and a gossip partner.I dropped on my bed after a refreshing bath and a pleasant late-night fruit salad prepared by Santiago. It was a great way to end the day.Kyle KingAttorney Smith had failed to convince Mr. Allen to drop the lawsuit, so I made up my mind to book a meeting with him. Attorney Smith felt it was a bad idea, but I didn't care. The king`s reputation was on line, and if I failed to defend it, there would be trouble in paradise.I instructed Christine not to divulge any information to the heads of departments in the company. I didn't want them speaking to the shareholders and clients until I fixed it. If they knew, they were likely to inform the press, and they would roast me again.I read through the lawsuit again before sending a letter to Attorney Smith to schedule a meeting with Mr. Allen by noon. Then, I called Xavier. I knew I had promised myself not to reach out to him on this matter, but he's the only one I could talk to.`Hello, bro. Please, I need you right now at the office. Where are you at?`He yawned, making an irritating sound. `I`m just waking up, Kyle. I worked all night preparing the business quota for that cl
Geneveive Tessa RobertAfter several hours of reading through the proposals and sending rejection emails , I came across Kyle`s project proposal. Dad was impressed, but he didn't want to select Kyledue to due to our past. I had to remind Dad that our personal lives should not affect the family business, and I was also impressed with the project. It was better than most of the proposals we had been checking.The selection for the final three was actually easy. Kyle got a spot,spot, and two new companies had eyes for our all--inclusive STEM project for women and girls. I yawned, typing the mail. It had been a long day, but Dad ensured II took long breaks due to the baby. He didn't want anything happening to his grandchild or grandchildren like I always chipped in.After sending the congratulatory mail to the three selected companies, II drafted a contract for Kyle King thatthat defined the terms and conditions for working with the Roberts family. Once the transportation project kick
Geneveive Tessa RobertI walked into my room, thinking about the conversation with my family. It turned out well, which I wasn't expecting. I had imagined my dad yelling and instructing James to call his attorney to start preparing a lawsuit, and I would also be roasted for keeping crucial information.Dad had insisted on speaking to the family attorney so that I could get a settlement, but I disapproved. I didn't want Kyle to think I needed his money or properties to survive. If a lawsuit showed up on his desk, it would confirm his opinion that I couldn't live without him. I had done well by not sending threats after he took the shares and the condo. I was also planning on returning the Porsche to him. I didn't want anything that belonged to him anymore.I picked up my diary and started scribbling down everything I wanted new in my life and my kid's life. I was going to apply to an art workshop and resume my painting. Then, invest time in taking Santiago`s free cooking class, and may
Kyle KingThe congratulatory mail came in on Monday. We celebrated in the office, and Ava insisted we throw a party. On Tuesday, the chief secretary of the Roberts family called and informed me about the details of the project and confirmed my availability for the contract signing.On Wednesday, I had a meeting with my mom, who brought up Ava's birthday celebration, which was scheduled for Saturday. Mum insisted I purchase the convertible if I can't afford something bigger.On Thursday, the team and I were busy with the arrangements for the project. I had to ensure that everything we were doing aligned with the requirements set by the Roberts family. Xavier helped out by creating innovative ideas to build the blueprint for the project.The Roberts family had decided that the transportation project was going to be purchasing ten coaster buses and creating a Roberts card that would allow commuters to enter with a ten percent discount.
Kyle KingThree weeks have passed since we started the transportation project, and the profits have been slow. I didn't know how to improve the sales, and Xavier didn't have any helpful advice to give, so I turned to Ava. She advised me to focus on the downtown citizens and then move to the rich folks environment. I knew most of them, but I wasn't sure they would like to jump in on the project. I scheduled a meeting with one of the street lords downtown, but it didn't work out.`I am tired, Xavier. I haven't made any visible profit since we started, and the money is almost gone. What am I going to tell James next month?`We were in my study room, going through the expenses and trying to balance the account. Somehow, I had spent part of the money on frivolities and forgot to settle some of the suppliers. They were on my neck now and had promised to report me to the Roberts family if I didn't settle them before the end of the month. The only way I could sett
Genevieve Tessa RobertThe admissions application letter came in like an unexpected morning rain in February. I had just finished listening to Vera after I had rattled about the delay in the admission letter. The DAP Films and Arts School had never delayed the release of their admissions list. According to the last announcement page on their website, the admission list will be released two weeks after the deadline has passed. This was the beginning of the fourth month, and they had yet to release it, which means something was wrong or they lied.Vera had waved my accusation and advised me to take it easy. They would release it when I least expected it, and I should stop worrying about them. After we said our goodbyes, I scrolled to their website to see if they had released
Geneveive Tessa RobertDad looked up from his phone. Aren't you happy about the news? The doctor said you will bebe carrying a beautiful boy and a beautiful girl. Twins! You should be happy because I am.`I rubbed my palms on my gown. `I am happy, Dad. I am just thinking about how I had a feeling I was carrying twins, and the doctor just proved us right. It's surreal, I believe.`Dad took my sweaty palms, staring into my eyes affectionately. `It`s a miracle; stop thinking or getting worked up, okay? Have you called your mom?`I said casually, 'Yes, but she's not picking, so I sent a text message. I am sure she will call once she reads it.``Alright. I am thinking you should travel to your aunt's
Geneveive Tessa Robert`That`s a great idea, Tessa, but I will need a proper analysis of your plan before I can drop my feedback. So, think about it and prepare an analysis of the business. You can create a business plan, and I will read through it.`I sighed. I hated creating business plans, but that's what he wanted, and I had to do it. I would have to do more research to be certain this business was going to work, then show my findings in the business plan. It felt like a lot of work, but it was possible to do. I just had to focus and ask James to help out.`Alright, Dad. I will create the business plan and revert.` I replied, getting up. `Thank you for today; I will be going to bed now.`He smiled. `It's my duty as your father to ensure that you and my grandchildren are well taken care of. I have told you that you don't need to stress yourself or worry about feeding, clothing, or shelter. We`re the Roberts family, and we always take care of our own, okay?`Thank you, Dad,` I repli
