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

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
