The next morning Gregory and Craig had left for the office, they had a lot of things to do, and the girls dressed up to leave"Good morning Ma, you girls are going out?" Paula asked she happened to be the oldest of the stewards "Good morning ma." The three reply to her. "We are leaving and your boss knows." "Oh! You should eat before you leave and when will you be back so we prepare your lunch.""Lunch?" The three girls echo. "Yes, the boss said you all will be staying for some time." Their eyes bulge out. "Come on and eat." "Aunty Beauty, good morning, come and eat." Eve called and sat, and Grace and Whitney sat to eat with her. "You three should go on, I will just pass." "No ma, sir Craig will kill me, if you eat nothing." Molly, one of the cooks said, she knew Craig could be sweet and sour at the same time, he had given her a specific order that Cathy should eat. "Don't worry, he won't know that...""Please ma, he will kill me, I don't...""Fine!" She sat to her surprise, Mo
When Whitney got to the chamber, Leonard was already at the office, she was smartly dressed, in a suit and a short skirt, Leonard's mouth dropped open but he controlled himself, the girl before him was beautiful"Good morning sir, your secretary said you are in here""Sit, you are Whitney white." "Yes sir, I applied to have my attachment here but I was declined and I was later called up""Oh! Sorry about that, you were declined because we didn't need a helping hand then, so now we need more.""Thanks, sir for remembering me""It's okay, there is this policy in this chamber, every new intake must undergo some process, we allowed fresher to carry some investigation on our new suspect, so we can get evidence, you know when the face is not familiar, it's easy to get evidence.""Okay, so when is it?" "Nice one, I will get back to you, to tell you the person you are to get the information from.' "Alright sir'"It's Leonard." She nodded, and she went back to the hostel to help Cathy"Cathy
"You should learn to mind your business." Craig pushed Brian's head, he brought out the project. "Let me leave you all." Whitney stood to leave, Grace wanted to sit close to Craig but Eve pulled her. "Let's go, Aunty." She had kept Grace busy since she returned, and she didn't have a chance to flirt with Craig. "So he said the private jet should be unique?" Tony asked"Yes, he said he wanted to give it to his wife as a birthday gift," Gregory added to Brian's sketch.The four can be enemies but when it comes to work they can be best of friends. "This is fine but why not have an oval shape, most of our jets are triangle," Craig said"That is true, let me see how it will look?" Brian said, then he sketched. "it's really goodLet me see?" Gregory looked at it, and he smiled. "What about the interior?" "I am hungry, don't you guys eat in this place?" Tony said and stood up. "Do you ever play with food?" Gregory asked hitting his head. "Please, let me be, I want to eat, where is tha
"Eve, you have a new doll house?" "Yes brother, I never thought that I could work and earn toys"'Work?" Gregory asked her. "Yes, I told Mom that I need a new doll house but she said is too expensive but here I work and get myself one.""Will you tell me what kind of work?" "I am not telling, I don't want you to steal it for me." "Will you keep quiet? How do you get it?" Craig walked in. "Baby, do you like your doll house?" "Yes, uncle but I will need someone to fix it for me.""Don't worry, I will fix it when I return but I need you to do me another favor""No, I don't want to stay with her today." "Was it that difficult to stay with her?" "Yes, she is always on the phone, she keeps making calls, hey Baby I missed you! Hey sugar, I thought of you! Hey, honey, I dream of you..."She kept mimicking Grace, and Gregory couldn't help but laugh. "So please, I don't want to do it, she is boring." "I am not asking you to keep her busy, I want you to keep your Aunty Nice busy""Yeah!
"Sir, you are welcome to the billionaire club""We want to get into the casino?" Gregory asked in a cool voice. "Sorry sir, you can't get into it for now, the Dons are in there, no one can get in.""We have a lot of money, just let us in." Brian tries to persuade him"No, you are not allowed in, until they leave." "Do you know who we are?" Tony tries to use their influence to comb the situation but that doesn't seem to be working, Craig doesn't have that patience. "I give you five minutes to let us in." His voice is hoarse but the bartender is reluctant"Are you threatening me?" "No, I do not have that time, I want..." Craig didn't finish his words before the bartender called two bouncers, they were right in front of him."Take them out." The bartender, tells the bouncer, Craig's anger increases, and in a blink the two bouncers are right on the floor, when he is angry he is like a starving lion, his strength is like that of a demon, and he pulls the throat of the bartender, the bar
Don mask men hit Craig with rods, all over his body, blood poured from his mouth, and they hit him more"Ouch!" He screamed, Gregory got mad, he freed himself, he was fighting themGregory stop it, they will hurt her. Craig managed to speak, but his pain was much, he was in pain but more determined to save Cathy, her life was more important than his at this point."Shit! This is not happening." Gregory curses under his breath, his favorite cousin is in pain, and Don Mask men want to see him break down."The man is acting tough, hit him harder." Don mask order. They hit his tummy harder, Craig grabbed the rope with his last strength, he was losing it, and more blood was coming out, the security finally arrived, and they arrested Don Mask and his men"You trick me." He yelled as they pulled them away, Tony got Cathy, and Gregory rushed to Craig but he had to drag the rope from his hand, Cathy talked in her subconscious state"Craig! Please save me." Craig struggles to where she is. "You
"Tony, you should go home, you've stayed here for a week." "I want to be here when she wakes up." "What if she doesn't wake up for the next three days? You barely go anywhere, you haven't changed your wears, go home, you..""But...""Whitney is right, Tony, you will fall sick too and I don't want your mom, to get mad at me, just go home, have a little nap, and then come back." Gregory persuade him"I will not...""Go home, freshen up, and come back." "Alright, if anything comes up, just let me know." "We will, let me see the doctor on your way out." As Tony and Gregory walked away, Whitney cried more, she had held herself for long enough not to cry out her eyes in front of Tony. "Cathy Please, I beg you open your eyes, I am tired of your sleeping, George keeps calling and I keep texting him that we are in court and that you will talk to him later, do you think George will buy this after this days?" She is still crying when Gregory opens the door. "Whitney, you will break down i
"Hello Cathy, what should I get for you?" "Is Gregory, not Cathy." "Sorry, I thought, the phone was with her." "Wait!" Whitney ends the call, but she is still mad at Gregory. I should call her back."What are you calling for?" "Is Cathy up?" "Why are you asking me? If you want to know go to the hospital don't ask me." "Whitney!""Bye." She didn't give him a second to talk before the line died off. "Shit! This girl." Cathy's phone rang, it was Kingsley. "Hello, my love! I heard you are out of a coma now, how are you?""Is not Cathy, I am with her phone, you can call her later." "Oh, bye then." "Even he knows and I don't, what is wrong with Whitney and that stupid Tony?"He was still talking to himself when Craig and Judy walked in. "Who are you talking to?" Craig asked, he raised the phone to show he was on the phone. "Okay, You see boss, you are just worried for nothing, the wound is not that deep.""Who said so?" Judy's voice came up, and Gregory looked at her. "Yes, it's de
It was like a dream come true for Cathy and Craig. She never thought she could find love and Craig never thought he could fall for any girl but now they found love and want to stay in love. Craig; Cathy, Whitney, and Gregory, suffer a lot having one life tangled with another it's a bad dream even when you have your issues. Talk more of adding to it, they finally found rest, after the curse was broken, not for just them but for their entire clan, Craig didn't become the king when the gods asked him to request what he wanted him to do for him, he pleaded with the gods to appoint someone's else in his place, now people of the clan could plant and eat their fruit, no more high death rate, Craig can paint freely so do Roe, he can act movies but they still run the business. when the two companies finally merged they hit success in the very first year, and Roland's dream of his two sons working side by side came true. Not as enemies but as an ally, they became best of friends and siblings l
"I have done my part, so, let her start moving before I get mad." Craig orders, Ruth and Jessica laugh, and they go to her and return. "We need more cash, she is hungry," Betty said."Food? Didn't she eat before leaving home?" Craig yelled, Gregory hit his head slightly. "Stop doing everything with force," Gregory said, he dragged his phone out and dropped it on Betty's hand. "I have nothing left just don't ask for more." "we will see about that?" Betty got it and left Then they turned instead of Cathy moving forward, she was going backward, he wanted to run after her but the little ones stood in front of him"What is it? Get off my way, I have nothing, go away." "Relax, we should blindfold you, if you can touch your Cathy then she will be all yours," Clara said"What?" "Yes, are you doing it?" Wendy asked, he looked at them."You have two seconds to decide or we leave," Riley added, he agreed, and then Roe stepped forward"You, you are in this with them?""Sorry just doing my wo

Two days before the wedding, Cathy had tried almost all the wedding gown designs for her, Craig could criticize them, some hands were too exposed, some of the cleavages were out, and some part of her chest was too revealing"Craig, what about this? Don't you like it?" Cathy is on one but all her cleavage is out. "You are not asking about this? Are you?" Craig said indifferently, Cathy looked at him. "Yes, I don't like it and you should know that.""You should just say, I should go with a quilt." "I never said that they should change it, I don't just like it, I want something perfect.""You don't like it or boys will stare at her?" Whitney asked him. "Yes, you understand me, someone is finally on the same page as me. I don't want people looking at her cleavage like that.""I don't understand you, it's her day, let her have it special," Betty said"I don't want it, let me see the collection of another designer, I need something glamorous," Craig said. Cathy just stood up. "It's fine,
"Did I also tell you that I love you more than life?'"You just did." 'And that you send goosebumps on me when you kiss my neck?'"You also just did.""And when you just told me, that you are Reliance, it means you wanted me to be happy all the time, you know I missed a friend and you want to fill that loneliness in me, you are always thinking about my welfare.""Is because I love you, and I don't want you hurt, even when you reject my love, even if you push me away, I will still keep coming back because I am hooked and no one will want me.""Who told you so?""I just know, I know that, if you go away, my life with be empty." "And mine will be too, so I love you more until my last breath." Whitney looked at Craig and then at Cathy, she wanted to ask Cathy but then she pointed at Craig, and Cathy smiled. "How many exes do you have?" Whitney asked him, Gregory laughed. "What is funny?" George asked Gregory. "You should ask him how many flings has he had." Craig hit him. "Are you by
"I want to tell you, let's go on a cruise, where I will...""Cathy stops," she looks at Craig. "Skip that part." "Why?" Gregory asked. "It's made for my ear alone, so continued after that." Cathy gasped for air. "After that, I will tell you; thank you for...""Stop there and skip," Craig said again if Cathy took the next word all of them would know what that first part said she had practically told him that she would go nude in front of him and asked him to make her a woman. "Then after that, I will force you to marry me," Cathy said low."Can you do all that for me?" Craig asked she just nodded! "Okay, you said you would force me to marry you but you didn't, when we meet again.""I was jealous of Zoe because she is the one in your hands, not me." Craig laughed hard and hugged her tight. "Maybe, we should go do the other part of the letter." "No, let me read the others," Cathy said. "No, I want that part to be fulfilled." "Let's keep it till our wedding night." When Cathy said it
"Thank you, dad." Gregory hugged Jeremy, and Roland stepped on the stage. "Am I welcome?" He asked Craig hugged him, his tears falling. "I am sorry, sorry for hurting you and your mother." "And thank you for hurting me, I am stronger because of you, I forgive you the very day, you let me seek refuge in your house, that is while I call you dad." Roland hugged him again after a long cry, he tapped his shoulder. "Men don't cry, you should come back to work, remember you are the CEO, and Mega Touch Aviation Empire Intl needs you." Gregory looks at Craig. "I am sorry Dad, I can't, I think Roe should continue being the CEO, I will let Cathy assist him for some time, and if he needs any assistance...""No, you should work with him, you can make the company fly, I am not as good as you." Cathy said, Craig doesn't want to leave Gregory, when they are together, they could move mountains. Roe walks to the stage. "You don't have to choose, the two companies can be merged, imagine, how the co
When the marriage drew closer, Cathy realized that Craig hadn't engaged her, she was so sad"Cathy, are you alright?" Whitney asked. "You don't like any of the gowns?" Betty asked. "I do but when you two got married, didn't you get engaged?" "Yes, we did." Betty reply. "Then why is mine different?" Cathy asked, At that moment, Craig and Gregory walked in, and she rushed to Craig. "Craig, I need an engagement ring, since I should tell you everything." "How many times will I engage you?" He asked Cathy to look at him with a sad face, he put his hands on her top to bring out the ring from her neck. "What are you doing?" She asked as Craig grabbed the ring. "You want everything twice, you are such a selfish girl." "No, you haven't engaged me, go on and do it.""Silly girl; do you ever let me talk?" Craig drags her nails. "Stop it, you should not engage me with someone else ring.""But the ring is from me," Craig said, Cathy, looked at him surprised. "Yes, the ring is mine, I wante
"Creamy! What is it?" Gregory hugged her behind, as her back pressed against his chest while Gregory rested lazily on his shoulder. "Why can't you treat me like Craig do to Cathy? Craig loves Cathy.""I love you creamy.""I know but do you love me?" Whitney asked him, Gregory caressed her arms."Come on, I do, I love you, you should know better." "But you don't show me love the way Craig does to Cathy, you don't worship my ground, Craig calls her my lady." "But I call you creamy." "Fine, I know but...""Whitney, I love you and you break my heart when you think I don't." "Alright, fine, I need to rest." "Whitney!" "Let me be, I want to rest." Whitney walks passed him and returns to his room, Gregory scratches his head, he knows that Whitney is mad, Craig is in the living room, and when Gregory returns, he looks at Craig. "How do you do it?" "Do what?" Craig asked Gregory. "Show your affection," George added he knows that, even if Betty doesn't say, she too wants such attention
