Seeing her on the floor, Mrs Ruth smiled proudly. And so did Mrs Williams.Mrs Williams squatted to her level and brought her lips closer to her ears."Very soon, my son-in-law will discover the truth about you and there will be no one to save you from his claws. Bl**dy whore" she cursed at Lisa before getting up and walking away with Mrs Ruth.The guest also left her crying. No one wanted to help a slut afterall.She was left crying on the floor.The word of the guest calling her a slut and whore kept on ringing in her head driving her crazy. She held her head while crying harder. Soon her cries decreased but the pain she felt in her heart didn't."Ma'am" she heard a male voice call to her. "Please get up and follow me" he said not minding the fact that she was crying.He didn't even bother to help her up . Lisa struggled and got up and looked at him. He was dressed formally. Looking prim and proper."Who-who are you?" Lisa stuttered."Mr Alex sent me to get you and take you home as h
His eyes got redder by the minute as he watched the video of what just happened in the wedding hall to his wife. How her mother and friend maltreated her..Everyone in the room could feel temperature in the room drop to zero degrees. The guards most especially were shaking in fear. They knew how quick to anger their boss is."Where were y'all when this happened?" His deep voice resounded in the room. The room was dark with a dimmed red light which was barely enough as no one could see their boss expression. Even if they could , they wouldn't be able to read his expression because it's always blank."I asked a question" he questioned when no one answered him. His voice sounded calmer than before but everyone knew that was just a faze. They could deduce the tone he had used which made them know that he was far from being calm."We were attending to other matters sir" a guard summoned courage to answer. A smirk left his lips."More important than my wife?" Alex voice had a tone of amusem
Her eyes were filled with tears as she made her way into the house. She didn't even take notice of her surrounding as she followed the guard blindly into the house. They climbed the stairs and soon halted in front of a door."Your room miss. Young master will be back soon to join you" the guard informed and she smiled wryly before nodding.She entered and closed the door forgetting to lock it. She immediately broke down in tears crying her eyes balls out.Why was life so unfair to her? Just why?? Some years ago, she returned back to her mom and sister after spending 5 years of her childhood with her grandparent. Everything was going smoothly. They were fatherless but they were happy. No worries of any sort.Till her and Lia graduation came. Lia was raped. Lisa recalled that night vividly. She had searched for Lia everywhere in the school premises but she was no where to be found. She even asked some dudes if they had seen her.Unknown to her, Lia who was held hostage by two boys watch
"arrgghhhh" Chris kept on hitting the iron bars which held him captive. "Open this damn cell. Do you know who I am?" He yelled.Both he and his mother have been in the cell since morning after they were arrested. They called their lawyer but he hasn't shown up since morning and they doubted he would show up at all.It was obvious that Alex pulled some strings to avoid him getting out of prison soon."Will you quit causing a nuisance here?!!" An officer snapped at Chris which he returned with a glare but the officer didn't care. "One more yell from you and I assure you, you won't like what I'll do to you" he threatened.Chris gritted his teeth. " How dare you threaten me?!!! How dare you!!" He yelled and the officer used his baton and wacked it on his head hard.Chris yelled in pains attracting his mother attention. She rushed to her son and held him while he wince in pain."How dare a lowlife like you hit my son?" She yelled at the guard who rolled his eyes."Yell one more time and w
"who are you?" Lisa gulped hard at his question. Was she finally caught? Did he find out that she is not Lisa? How did he find out so soon?Lisa tried to recall if she had done anything to give him a benefit of doubt but there's none she could remember.She blinked twice before looking away. "I don't understand. Am Lia your wife. We got married yesterday, remember? " She asked hoping that he hasn't figure out the truth yet."Mmm, I remember. That birthmark on your neck. It wasn't there the last time we met" he said tactfully before pushing a strand of hair behind her ears.Lisa shuddered at his touch in nothing but fear. Subconsciously, she placed her hand on the birth mark covering while under Alex hawk eyes watching her every movement and reaction."Oh this" she gave out a nervous laugh while caressing the birthmark. "You know am not really proud I have it. So I usually use makeup to conceal it. That's probably why you haven't noticed it till now" she gave the best excuse she could
"what!?" Chris and his mother exclaimed getting up.Everyone except the lawyer and Alex were surprised. Lillian couldn't believe her ears. Her mouth dropped down in shock. Yes, she's happy that Alex got more of the shares but Chris definitely deserve more. She didn't want this family feud to continue anymore but in this case, the Will worsened it."Why do I have only twenty percent shares while Alex gets eighty percent?" Chris demanded in anger. His mother also was fuming in rage."Am sorry Mr Christian but that's what your father wanted" the lawyer replied formally while taking a glance at Lillian subtly. It was at that time she turned and their eyes met but she was the first to look away."I do not agree with this. I dedicated time and money to this company while this coward of a son ran away." Chris screamed angrily pointing his hand at Alex. "And this is all I get. Twenty fucking percent!!" He definitely hadn't expected this. Yes, he knew Alex would get more shares probably sixty
"the greedy ones deserve to die" Alex muttered as he stared at the body on the floor.Lawyer Charles, a married man with kids in his late forties was his father best friend. They had known each other since childhood. Attended the same high school and college. When his father made money, he made lawyer Charles his personal lawyer.He was also his benefactor for his wealth. But However, Mr Charles had one fault: he was in love with Lillian, Alex mother. He fell in love with her from the day Alex's dad introduced her to him.He loved her to a fault more like obsession and knowing he couldn't get his hand on Lillian made him hate Alex dad. He never loved his wife and used her as a punching bag. He only ever loved Lillian even till his death.Alex had a research done on Lawyer Charles. His hatred for Late Mr Bills made him betray him. He has already been bought by someone and he has a hand in his father's death. Although, Alex tried, he couldn't trace the person who made Lawyer Charles do h
Chris entered the other room and slammed the door harshly. Anger clearly written on his face. First he took the company and now, he took his property. It was as if Alex duty is to frustrate him to no end.And worst of all, he can't go to court to retrieve his property because surely, he won't get anything back. As a matter of fact, that would be the worst decision he can ever make. Knowing Alex , he probably had someone who could twist the matter to his favour."Shit!!" He cursed for the umpteenth time. All he wanted was to strangle Alex and feed his body to the vultures.Just then, his phone rang in his pocket. He got it out and looked at the caller and a smirk graced his lips."He is dead" Chris informed the person on the other side of the phone. By "he", he was referring to Lawyer Charles. He was working for them but greed controlled the man more than they did and Chris was one hundred percent sure that Alex had offered him much more more than he had given the lawyer and he grabbe
