Craig walks into the living room to give Gregory a report, seeing the two together, he wants to go back but he stops. "Yes, anything, if it will make you happy."
"I want to go to the club, will you take me there?" His eyes bulge out. "You promised to do anything that would make me happy?" Craig looks in shock, Women are trouble, how can she use his own words to blackmail him? "I will if that will make you happy." Craig's laptop almost fell from his hand. "Thanks, you are a darling, I will just go and bathe." "Whenever you want to go, just let me know." "I want to go tonight." Gregory closed his eyes, she ran into the bathroom, and he sighed in frustration. "Do you want to do that?" "What do you expect me to do?" "You don't have to hurt yourself to please her.' "You told me to break those rules for her, here I am breaking one of my rules." "Boss!" He looks at Craig, he gives up. "Here is the file of the chocolate factory that wants us to invest in their company." "Alright, how did you see the shipping steel?" "It's okay, you have meetings with the board of directors later in the evening tomorrow." "Cancel""What?" "Yes, I can't leave her alone in this state." "What was I to tell them?" "Tell them you find love and cancel.""But...""What is it? You are my assistant so you know what to do." ****He gave up, Whitney came out with her wears which smelled of alcohol, Craig's face looked disgusted, he was easily irritated but Gregory's was worse, Gregory burped, and the food in his stomach was all on the floor, Craig's next attempt was to head to the room. "Wait! What is going on?" "Your wears." He said running into his room, Whitney sighed and went in to change, she had no choice but to wear the shirt given to her by Gregory, Although it was a bit short she had no choice, the mess that Gregory had made because of her need to be clear. "Don't bother, someone will clean it up, Maybe we should go back to the room." She just nodded, in a few minutes, the room was back in shape, and some wear had been delivered to her. "Whoa! That was fast." 'Yes, you have some new wear." "What? Thanks a million." "Don't thank me, you should give the credit to that man." He points to Craig. "Oh! Thanks, I appreciate it.""Don't bother, it's the boss..." Gregory glared at him. "Excuse me.""Are you going to ride? Cathy said you ride fast." Gregory looks at Craig. "Hey she didn't get injured, it's just a little collision." He finds himself explaining to Gregory. Hd wants to get mad at Craig but this is his special cousin that he can't get mad at, Whitney is not interested in what they are saying. "If you want to go on a ride, I will go with you, I like to ride fast, my late dad used to have a motorcycle, I ride on it fast, it is I, that made Cathy like fast ride.""You can't ride with him." "Why? I want to see him ride." "Don't you get it, I said I won't allow it." He is using his authority on her. 'I thought you said you would do anything to make me happy." Gregory gasped for air. "Sure, that is if Craig is going on a ride.' Now he expects Craig to save the situation. ''Actually, I am not going on a ride, I just wanted to leave you alone, I will go down and walk around.'"Alright, next time then."'Sure thing, I go on now."******Craig did not get the opportunity to get his keys, the key was lying right in front of her, he just walked into the elevator, he was dying to see Cathy's face again, he boarded a cab, when he got there, still thinking of what he is going to say that brought him back, he saw Cathy walking towards the road but someone had to stop her. "What is wrong with you? My Shabby princess." The ghetto king is standing right in front of her. "Stop calling me shabby princess, I am not your girlfriend." "Slow down! You should know I love you." He touched her shoulder, Craig was watching."Get your hands off me." Everyone is scared of the ghetto king except George, he rapes girls even during daylight no one challenges him, and girls can only walk freely when George is around, he knows that George is not around and he had a thing for Cathy, so he wants to use the opportunity. "Baby! Cute things don't get upset.""What is it now?" "Where is George?" "Is not your business where my brother is." "I heard he is far away looking for money, he left his jewel in a wolf pack." "Get off my face, Mr."Cathy was about to leave when he pulled her by the hand. "Why are you troublesome?" People were watching but none said a word, he wanted to kiss her, Craig's eyes widened, and he got out of the cab in a hurry, she slapped him but that didn't stop the ghetto king, he grabbed her waist. "Let go of her." Craig's voice sounds so commanding, that everyone watching can sense he is not from there, they just feel sorry for him. "Oh! Rich kids, you want to buy her freedom?" "Yes, how much do you want?" "Really? You have money, fine, let's have a deal." Cathy closed her eyes, and she saw trouble everywhere, The ghetto king whistled and ten boys came out from nowhere. "What is going on here?" One of the boys asked. "Please, you have to leave now, I can take care of myself." "I am not leaving without you." "You don't get it, just leave he will not hurt me." "I am not leaving without you.""The rich kid is here to buy her freedom. he said he wants to fight?""I never did say I wanted to fight, I only said I would buy her freedom." "You still have the boldness to speak." Another said, throwing a punch in his face, it met the side of his lips. "Do you still want to fight or we should get the girl?" The Ghetto king wants to touch Cathy. "You won't dare." "Why are you stubborn? Leave I will be fine." Another raised a punch to hit him, and Craig held his hand in space. "Step aside." He said in a low voice, she closed her eyes in fear, and he twisted his hand and pushed him. He staggered back hitting another he bent and two of the boys hit each other, he hit one by the jaw, sending him to the floor, he got two and hit their heads together, one was about to attack him but he hit him on the stomach, seeing what had happened to the others, the last boy develops cold feet, he falls to the ground. "Please, don't..." "Get off my way," he ran from Craig like a frightening cat,
"Come on, let's go, you are driving like a snail and, we are finally here, you are standing, do you want it to close?" He closed his eyes. "Do you want to go in? I should ask you that, if you don't want to go, you should as well leave." Gregory gasped for air. "I didn't say so, I am just asking." "Don't ask to go home, I can care for myself." She darted inside, and Gregory darted after her, he felt like a stranger in his body, he hated himself but what could he do, her happiness was his joy. "Welcome Sir and Ma to the VIP section, what can we serve you?" "Pomegranate." "At your service sir." In a blink he is back with it, she slips on it and her face turns sour. "What is it?" "Why did you ask them to get me fruit juice?" "Don't you like it?" "Who goes to a club and drinks juice? I want alcohol." Gregory closes his eyes to suppress his anger, he has no patience for women but Whitney is special to him. "You want alcohol?" She nodded, "Don't worry I will get it for you
The night is almost gone, so they just work all through the early mornings, when it's six, Gregory and Craig, have already groomed to go meet with an investor, and Whitney walks in on them. "Are you going out?" "Yes, we have an investor to meet this morning, there is food in the dining.""I can't stay alone in this place." "Don't worry, there is security down outside and Mr. Beck will be checking on you from time to time." "I will go with you." "But...""It will not take long I will be out." Gregory hadn't replied to her, so she hurried inside, Craig looked at Gregory, they wanted to leave before she came out. "I am out already, I am fast right?" Gregory nodded, she rushed into the kitchen, she just got some pack. "Let me pack the food so you can eat on our way." They both watch as she packs the food in a hurry. "Shall we?" "Let me help you carry it." Whitney was surprised when Craig offered to help her, she was a bit scared of Craig but he looked simple. "Thank you." Ian drive
"You even said you are my driver but that didn't change her mind." Ian laughed. "You shouldn't be laughing with this man, he wants to take your job." "If Whitney didn't save me, I would have been a dead man and this boss of mine doesn't want to help""Why should I help you when you are taking my friend away from me?" "You Know that is not true, no one can replace you in my heart." Whitney drags Gregory's chin. "Is there still food?" Craig asked. "Sure, you can have it." Whitney hand him the food. "you are a princess" "Call me Princess again?" "Don't worry, your..." "Craig stop it." He didn't say a word, as he ate, Whitney's mouth fell open when she saw the message from Cathy, she had not been able to go through the message before. "Craig thank you." Gregory and Craig look at each other, if Gregory and Craig didn't understand each other, there would have been issues between them, the way Whitney praised him. "For what?" "Cathy told me how you saved her." "Do she tell you every
"Where is Whitney?" "She left with Gregory, they said they need to get something from your local market." "Oh!" She stands to leave. "Are you leaving me here?" Craig asked, she sit not a word came from Craig to her, he kept looking at her, too many things flashed through his mind, one was to make her his woman and never let any other man come near, he wanted to pull her on his legs right there and now, run his hand all over her body but he can't. "Why are you staring at me like that?" "Ahem!" He clears his throat. "Sorry, I will wait outside." "No, sit, Whitney will feel bad if I let you stand under the sun, because you are, her best friend cousin." He sits, and another long silence goes on. "Do you live abroad?" She had noticed that everything about him looked special, so she felt that he could only live abroad. "No!" "Here at county C in Marvel City?" "No!" "Then where do you live?" "Do you want to go with me?" she shakes her head. "I will be going for my chamber attachme
"Greg, I want more drink." "Here, have a drink." He gave her water, and she tasted it and spat right on Gregory's face. "I need spirit not water." She throws up, and Gregory feels like vomiting as well he runs out of his car and throws up, he is relieved. "God! This is crazy." He drives back to the condominium, Craig is taking care of Cathy, and she throws up on him. "Dammit! What is wrong with you?" He talks to the sleeping Cathy, changing his wears, he pushes her head when he returns, and he also changes Cathy's, he is working on a file when Gregory returns with drunk Whitney, he shakes his head, Gregory puts her to sleep and return to Craig"Why are you here?" "Was I supposed to be in there with her?" Gregory smile. "Why do they have so much pain, their life is..." They heard a sound like something hit the ground. "What was that?" Craig asked him."I don't know, is it not from your room?" Rushing towards the room, Craig pushed Gregory forward, "Go on and open it." Gregory sha
"Hey, you going out?" "Yes, Whitney is inside, she is waiting for you." "Where are you going?" Cathy looks at him, he has the same authority as Craig but he doesn't look hard like Craig. "As in...""I want to see a friend." Gregory stared at her wanting more details of the type of friend. "It's a girl, Grace to be specific." She takes a girl's name but that does not make Gregory's mood change, he had heard a lot about Grace, and he just doesn't want Grace around this little thing his cousin is interested in"Go on, you should be careful." "I will, Whitney is waiting for you." She walks away, and Gregory enters the apartment. "I was about to call you." "I am here now, I saw Cathy going out." "Oh! She is going to meet Grace, I would have gone with her but, I am waiting for you, let me get dressed so we can go to the club." Gregory frowns, and she looks at him. "Do you want to go to the club?" She nodded, he gulped his saliva, and he wiped his face. "You don't want to go?" "When d
"Just say yes." "Are you Okay? Do you have wings or you are a witch that can fly? Wait, who do you want to fly with?" "Is not me, the both of us, Greg, wants us to go with him on a private jet." "I don't want to, I don't want someone looking down on me, like his charity, You can go with him, that way we will save cost." "So I am a burden to you." Whitney pouts, and the next thing tears drop from her eyes. "Did I say something wrong?""I know you will get tired of me because I am wasting your brother's money I am your charity case also." Her tears drop more. "No, that is not what I meant, I just want us to save cost." Whitney's tears keep coming. "Shit! Fine, we two are charity cases, can you stop I am sorry, I didn't mean to offend you." She tries touching Whitney but she pulls away. "Don't touch me.""Stop crying, what do you want me to do to make you stop crying." She didn't look at her. "Anything, I will do it..." Whitney wanted to tell her to come with them but she was call
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
