"So you mean that after giving birth, you needed blood transfusion, you dad offered to donate but because your blood type doesn't match he concluded that you're not his daughter?" Brenda asked.
"That is what I was told when I woke up. I did not believe it untill Susan came flaunting how my dad has left me because I'm not his daughter. She played some tricks then the hospital threw me out."
"You were away so I couldn't contact you. I was alone on the road and on the verge of giving up when Albert appeared. It so cold with a new born baby and no money. That was the most desperate moment of my life. I was even planning on abandoning my baby and maybe a good samaritan will pick him up but then he appeared."
"I was guarded against him at first when I recognised him. I thought that he knew about my pregnancy and now he has come to take my baby away. But I fainted and when I woke up I was already here." Velma finished narrating her story.
Brenda was so heartbrok
One month later, Velma was all recovered and was planning to start her new job at Albert's company."Today is your first day at work, are you nervous?" Albert asked as he saw the woman all dressed up and glistening. He was so mesmerized that he did not want to like away. The more he stayed with her, the more his feelings for her deepened."Of course I am. I'm going to meet new colleagues and new friends, I should probably be sweating buckets right now." Velma said honestly.It has been more than 11 months since she has stepped foot into an office or touched any work designs. When she got pregnant her father immediately forbade her from going to the company with the fear that she might hurt her baby. She stayed at home all through and never left even once."Thank you." Velma said. She knew very well that the Gulf Financial Group did not invest in jewellery, but because of her, Albert has taken a step forward to start in investing in jewelry. She is e
In the meeting, after Velma finished her presentation, the room was dead silent as everyone looked at her with amazement. She did not notice the wonder in their eyes as she became nervous."Have I overdone it? What will I do. Where did I mess up?" She thought as she looked at Albert who was sitting at the head of the huge conference table.Albert gave her a reassuring gaze and cleared his throat.The board members were jolted back to their senses by their CEO coughed. They looked slightly embarrassed as they have been lost in Velma's presentation.But they were old sly foxes so they could not show their embarrassment easily.Everyone started clapping in the conference room. Velma felt that her ears will definitely turn deaf."That was good, very good Miss Velma. I have always been a love of jewelry and seeing your designs, I fell in love with them. I think venturing into this business is a good idea." One of the executives gave his sin
"Director, did you call for me?" Lyne's assistant asked with caution. Her boss was rarely in a bad mood and she wondered what might have happened in the conference room earlier.Today's meeting entailed only the top management. Only Vice Presidents and Directors of importance departments in the company attended."Do you know about the woman who came today, the one the company wants to hire?" Lyne asked."I don't know but when I reached the company today I heard people saying that our president came in with a woman and when he spoke to her he had on a gentle expression and was very patient!""The president came in with her?" Lyne asked not believing what her assistant was saying. Everyone in the company knew that Albert had no patience while dealing with women, she wondered how that woman managed to do that even the president could bring her personally."The people said that they were even holding hands. But who would dare gossip about it. No one ca
It's been one month since Velma started working at Gulf Financial Group. Everything was going smoothly and she has hired a group of talented people to help in designing.Some who truly loved her from Lovelast have also joined her. Everything was going well for her and her life was great.She was looking through the final drafts when her phone suddenly rung. Looking at the caller, her face softened but her heart turned nervous."Hello Auntie.""Hello, do you still remember that I'm your auntie?" Alvin's mom voice came through the phone.Velma felt warmth flood her heart.This woman has always treated her like her own daughter since the first time she saw her. She was very kind and passionate and sometimes even neglected her own son just to be with her."No auntie, of course you are still the best auntie to me!" Velma said, her lips curling up in a happy arc."But why haven't you called me, it is a year since I have heard f
Eunice had already arrived at the agreed location and was drinking tea.She did not want to order before Velma arrived because the food would turn cold.As she was still pondering about what to order once Velma arrived, her cell phone suddenly rung."Auntie have you arrived?" Velma asked."Yes. Where are you?" Eunice asked."I'm sorry. There as an accident upfront so the road is temporarily sealed off. I will trouble auntie to wait a while longer because I need to change the route." Velma explained."Okay do not be in a hurry. Take you time and be careful." Eunice said over the phone."Okay thank you auntie for your understanding." Velma said and hung up the phone.After twenty minutes, she arrived at the hotel. She rushed to the private room she had booked without wasting time."Auntie..." Velma called out the moment she entered the room. Her face carried a sweet smile as she walked towards the table."You are he
Velma was still enjoying the time with her baby when her phone rung. Looking at the caller her brows furrowed. "Hello..." "Velma Loteni, where are you?" Lyne asked. "I took the afternoon off. I had something to do." Velma said, not understanding why the woman was angry. She asked for a leave from the president himself, was there anyone with a higher position than the president? "Who approved your leave. I'm your immediate boss, how dare make your decisions without informing me? Come back to the company this instant." Lyne said coldly over the phone. "But the..." "Do you want to tell me that the president approved your leave. You know we have to hurry up with the first batch of products. We are struggling to come up with the best PR method for your department but you are out there enjoying yourself. Only you don't have to work hard?" Lyne said angrily. Ever since Velma joined the company, the president has been takin
Velma returned to her office. She could not let others take advantage of her even if that person was her boss.She knew that Lyne was just making things difficult for her. She could not sit still and let someone bully her."Boss you are back?" Those people who came from Lovelast Company, were used to calling Velma boss, and that did not change even after joining Gulf Financial Group."Yes. We need to hurry with the designs, the production is supposed to start in two days time, then we will have to hold a press conference to showcase our products.""Everything is almost done, just some touch up here and there." Someone said."Just do that." Velma said. Sensing that she was not in a good mood, the person shut up and concentrated on her work.Her phone rung after sometimes. Looking at the caller, Velma sneered and refused to answer. But the caller apparently had no intentions of giving up.After seeing that she will not give up, Ve
After sitting for a while, Velma packed her stuff and left the office. The sky had already darkened and night was approaching.Just as she reached the parking, she saw a lonely figure of a man standing beside her car, Velma halted in her steps. She has heard a lot of stories of people getting assaulted, she was scared to move forward.Albert who had heard footsteps turned around to look when he did not hear someone moving anymore. Velma was standing there, looking at him with vigilance."Why did you stop?" Albert did not know what Velma was thinking about and asked softly.Seeing that it was Albert, Velma heaved a sigh of relief. It was dark in the parking lot so it was hard to make out the figure standing beside her car from the darkness.She walked over with ease."Why did stop walking?" Albert asked again when Velma reached his side."I did not know that it was you. I was just being careful. There are a lot cases of people ge
Alvin looked at the black and white lines on the paper. Although he understood every letter and word on it, but he could for some unknown reasons not understand what it was talking about. He could not believe what he was seeing. His face was as white as snow. Even the hand that was holding the document trembled slightly. Velma was standing there, looking at them coldly. She had never forgotten the humiliation she suffered when she went to explain things to Alvin, only to find out that he was dating her worst enemy. Be it not for Albert being by her side, she would have done something terrible. Alvin looked at Winnie, his eyes and aura cold. Winnie trembled. She knew that she was done for. There was nothing she could do. She looked at Velma with bitterness. How she wished for her to die. She wondered why that person did not just finish her off. Alfred had also seen the papers and his expression was even worse.
"What really happened? All I remember was that I was drinking tea with some man who seemed to know a lot about my mom, but everything else after that is a blur." Velma said, trying to, as hard as she could to remember exactly what happened.But all she got was a splitting headache."Don't think about it baby. Everything else is okay. Don't worry about it. What matters is that you are fine and well." Albert consoled as he patted her on back."Well..." Velma did not know what to say."Where is my son? How is he?" She asked nervously when she remembered that her son was taken away from her."He is alright. He is with mom.""I have a surprise for you." Albert said as he smiled mysteriously."What surprise?""Just a moment."Albert tapped on his phone screen a few times and the ward door was pushed open from the outside.Velma looked at the door wondering what the surprise was.Then, a woman wi
Seeing that the man was dead, Christine breathed a long sigh of relief. Now everything was over. Albert fired a shot at the door and pushed it open. He rushed in. It was dark he had to use a his phone's flash light. He find Velma lying unconscious on the floor and immediately rushed to carry her up. Albert rushed out at a lightning speed when he felt that her pulse was faint. At a private hospital under Gulf, Albert was fidgeting nervously as he watched the emergency room. He did not know what he will do if Velma will not make it. Christine had also rushed to the hospital. She had not seen her daughter for a very long time and had not imagined that their first meeting will be like this. She watched Albert as he walked back and forth nervously. "Hey, can you relax, Velma will definitely be alright." Christine said. Albert looked at the woman who looked exactly like Velma and nodded his head. He now understand
By the time Albert landed in the city, one hour had already passed. He did not know how Velma was doing and he was worried sick.He had mobilezed all of his men and they were on the standby.The moment he landed, his phone rang. He had switched it off whole he was in the plane and had only powered it on.He did not know the caller and quickly picked up the phone.He thought that he might be the person who took Velma."Hello.""Albert, thank God if found you. I'm Christine, Velma's mom." A female voice came over the phone.Albert was shocked for a moment before he came back to his senses."Aunt..." He called out."Where are you now?"I just landed. I'm at the airport now.""Have you heard about Velma?""Yes, just is why I especially came back. Does aunt know anything?" Albert asked. He sense that he would not came him if she did not have anything to say."Yes, I never imagined
Tom had changed their base. Although Christine did not ask anything and obediently followed, she knew that it must be Albert's doing because she had not heard any negative news concerning her daughter. Tom had tried to find out how Albert managed to discover his identity but he was not successful. He could live as frustration thinking that there was someone better than him. *** Today was a Saturday and Dylan wanted to go to the museum, although Albert was out of town for business, Velma decided to have fun with her son. Albert had arranged a lot of men to protect her so she knew that she will be safe. She also called Brenda and Nana who readily agreed. As they were having fun, a commotion occurred at the museum pack. There was a gunshot. People started to panic as they moved in different directions, shouting and screaming in fear. Velma was also startled, held her son in her arms and started to run aimlessly. Soon, she had parted from
The news about Velma's video had been taken down and no was talking about it. It was as if it never happened and people marvelled at how powerful the Bill family was. Most of them had been waiting to laugh at Velma after she was thrown out of the family, but they disappointed. At exactly 7AM, Albert's phone rung. I was the same unknown number calling. His lips curled into a smile as he picked up the call. "Hello.." "Hello Mr Albert, I hope you have been great for the past three years." Tom said over the phone. "Of course Mr Tom West, I have been doing great." Albert said, without hiding the fact that he knew the man's identity. Tom's heart almost stopped. How the hell did Albert find out about his identity. He was well hidden and only few people knew of his identity. But his shock did not last for long. "Hehee Mr. Albert, what are you talking about?" Who is Tom West." Tom feigned ignorance but in reality, his heart
Velma was still in disbelief. How could there be such a maniac. She don't remember offending anyone. Why would someone hate her so much? Albert looked at her and embraced her tightly. "What are we going to do?" Velma asked with a trembling voice. She was not ready to lose the love of her life. "We are if course going to be together." Albert said and gave her a reassuring kiss. "But..." Velma tried to say something. Albert blocked her words as he captured her lips. "No buts. Just trust me okay." Albert said. "Okay." "Now go to rest, I still have things to take care of." Albert said as he tucked her in the blanket. "Then can you tell then to bring my son, I what to sleep with him." "Okay." Albert said and left the room. He told aunt Mary to take Dylan to his room before he went to his study room. Although this was his family home, he had his own study room just opposite his bedroom.
Since it was a child's birthday, there was not a lot of speeches. Dylan was taken to be shown to the guests and after cutting the cake, he was taken back to his room since he was already asleep. To entertain the guests, the Bill family had prepared short videos if Dylan when he was growing up. Everyone marvelled at how cute he was even when he was still an infant. "Wow, that child will be a killer once he grows up. He took all his mother's and father's good points." Everyone was amazed. But suddenly, the screen change. The videos of a toddler were replaced by videos of two people doing the unthinkable act that could make one heart race. The sound coming from the video made people to cover their ears. "What is going on? Why would someone play such a video?" "This is too embarrassing. We still have children around." Suddenly a woman's face was shown on the screen. It was breathtaking and the person who was fil
Today marked one year since baby Dylan was born. Everyone was excited since it marked the beginning of a new life in Bill's family. The preparations were ongoing since morning. Although Velma wanted a small party for her baby, Julius did not accept that as he had a lot of friends he wanted to invite. He had also forced Velma and Albert to get a marriage certificate and they were now a married couple although they were yet to hold a wedding. Dylan was a little genius and by now he could utter complete sentence. Everyone loved him and doted on him. Especially the Bill's, they spoiled him more than they had spoiled Nana. Nana and Velma were now friends and they could sometimes go shopping together. "How do you feel now that your son is turning a year older?" Brenda asked her friend as she applied make up on her. They were currently at Bill's Manor where the celebration will be taking place. "I feel like an old granny
