In about an hour, he was done with the food.He dished out some of the food Onto a plate and served it on a serving tray.He left the kitchen and carried the tray to Mrs Williams' side of the mansion.He knocked on her door." Come in, Johnson," Mrs Williams said from inside the room .Ryan opened the door and slowly entered.Mrs Williams was sitting on her bed with her phone in her hand.She looked at Ryan as he walked towards her with the plate of food on a tray in his hand." Please serve it on my dining table, I'll be there," Mrs Williams said and signaled Ryan towards the dining side.Ryan nodded and turned to the dining area.He dropped the tray on the dining table and went to Mrs Williams' kitchen.He got a glass of water and a glass of fruit juice and came back to the dining room.Mrs Williams was already coming towards the dining table..Ryan slowly drop
CHAPTER 20Ryan quickly walked back to Mrs Williams' place.He knocked on the door gently." Come in," Mrs Williams responded from inside.Ryan opened the door gently and walked in.Mrs Williams looked at him."Please sit down on the couch, I'll join you soon."Mrs Williams said and pointed to the couch.Ryan nodded and motioned towards it.He sat on it, quite nervous.Mrs Williams stood up and walked to the place where she had directed Ryan. She sat on a couch opposite Ryan and heaved a heavy sigh." Alicia and Adriana, are they back yet?" She asked as she sat down.Ryan shook his head in the negative." Alright, I need to tell you something…." Mrs Williams said and pausedRyan noticed her countenance change.She looked worried and down spirited." Well, firstly, I want to thank you for helping me.

THE MASSIVE TURNAROUND Ryan lay on his bed, his mind racing with thoughts. He couldn't believe what he had just heard from Mrs. Williams. It was as if a weight had been lifted off his shoulders. He was finally free from the shackles of the Williams family. Ryan lay on his bed with a smile on his face. He was happy about the conversation he had just had with Mrs Williams. He felt like he was out of the prison he had been put in. Now, all he needed to do was wait for a day or two before he told them that he had gotten a new job. It seemed that everything was working out in his favour at the moment, and he was just happy about it. He now had the kind of freedom he was waiting for. Free from Alicia’s taunting and shouting, a smile briefed across his lips as he thought about that. He planned on leaving the house very soon to face his own life. He took his phone and began browsing. He was in the process of finding the real truth about his real identity and how he ended u
CHAPTER 1Ryan was busy cleaning the center table in the living room when Alicia emerged from her bedroom. He was in an apron and could be seen sweating profusely despite the full blast of the air conditioner.Alicia frowned her face when she saw him in the living room“Where is my sister?'' She asked angrily‘‘Oh you mean my wife, she has…''‘‘Don't you ever ever regard her as your wife'' Alicia cut him short even before he could complete his response‘‘I'm sorry ma'am, your sister has gone out with her friends.” Ryan hung his head low and mumbled. Now are you done cooking lunch?" Alicia asked, still angry.“It will be ready in a few minutes, I will serve it as soon as it's ready" Ryan replied in a shaky voice wiping a drip of sweat off his forehead with his thumb.“Better hurry up" Alicia said arrogantly as she climbed the stairs back to her bedroom.Ryan stared at her back view and wondered when he was going to get out of this mess. He doesn’t even know his origin.…….Ryan was a
CHAPTER 2He stopped to listen to what the ladies were saying, he hoped to get a clue of what was going on and if possible know who Adriana was expecting.“He is such a handsome man, why will he sign up to be a househelp? ” one of the ladies commented.“ come off it girl, he is just a wretched poor orphan who my father adopted, now he is the contract son in law to the family, I don't know what came over my father to take such a decision, anyways he also pass for an obedient househelp as well” Geraldine replied and the group burst into a hilarious laughter again.…Ryan had had enough of the mockery, he came out from the kitchen, Adriana immediately changed the topic upon seeing Ryan enter the living room.Ryan left the serving tray in the center table and turned to leave“ Come on Ryan, at least you have some manners, why don't you serve us and our guests” Alicia said mockingly.Ryan turned around with an expressionless face. He poured the wine into the glasses, raised the tray for e
CHAPTER 3He was thinking about the answers he was going to give the lawyer and the Williams sisters if he refused to sign off the contract marriage.He sat down in deep thoughts for about ten minutes and he could not think of any explanation, he heaved a heavy sigh and stood up to get dressed.As he walked towards the dressing mirror his phone beeped, he checked the notification and it was from his online teacher.… .Ryan had been taking an online course on how to repair cars and some pretty good skills about cars. Although he could drive, he wanted more than that, he took online classes on theories and practicals on how to repair cars He had video games he always played on the phone anytime he was less busy.Now he believed he could fix a car although he had not had the chance to do so. … .The message read “Hello Ryan, we will be having class by 9pm, the Lamborghini Aventador has been launched and we will be learning about it. See you”He smiled. And dropped the phone on his bed
CHAPTER 4Ryan walked to see who the driver was and what he or she wanted. As he neared the car the driver opened the door. He stopped to see who it was, a few seconds later, a leg in high heels came out, followed by a hand, and the driver finally came out. Ryan was glued to the spot. He stood in awe as he watched the driver of the car come out.He was too shocked to say anything. He stood there as she walked past him and entered the living room. “ How did she get the money to buy this car?This car was launched only Three days ago and Worth millions of dollars. How did she get to buy or even drive one”. Ryan murmured Although the Williams were a rich family, he never thought anyone could afford such a car. At least not now that their father's property has not been shared for them …. …Adriana got down from the car and walked past Ryan who was busily staring at her and the car. She entered the living room happily and shouted “ I'm home with the car”. Suddenly, Geraldine screamed
CHAPTER 5 Ryan remembered he had not seen Mrs Williams in about a week. On a normal day she would be seen in the kitchen getting something from the fridge every three days.Her own room was ensuite.She had her own kitchen, bedroom and washroom.So Mrs Williams came out only when she needed something.She had her own part of the mansionMrs Williams despised Ryan so he was not allowed on the woman's side of the mansion.

He walked to the door and gently knocked on the door. There was no response, he knocked again and there was no response.He turned around to leave
