"Look, everyone is staring at us. If you continue making a scene, aren't you afraid that there might be someone who knows you and will inform them that you are still alive?" he asked making her shut up.
She glared at him before turning around.
This action made the driver speechless as he had never seen his master tolerating anyone the way he had tolerated Rhiannon.
"Take us home," Octavius said coldly when he noticed the driver's eyes on Rhiannon.
He didn't want anyone to look at his belongings. The mere thought of everyone witnessing how beautiful Rhiannon was made him angry but he knew better than talking about it.
The drive was so quiet as none of them spoke to each other.
From time to time, Octavius would look at Rhiannon to see what she was doing but he only ended up annoyed that she didn't care about him.
He couldn't understand why he was feeling that way, he tried himself to seem as if he didn't care about her but he found his eyes shifting to her once more.
The car got in the most luxurious and expensive premises.
Rhiannon who had been staring out of the window since she got in, was shocked and looked at Octavius once more before glancing outside once more as she didn't want him to find her staring at her.
"Is it beautiful?" he asked as he saw her shocked face through the side mirror.
"Yeah," she mumbled as she started feeling excited as she looked at the garden full of different flowers.
"Is the whole community full of these flowers? Why didn't I see them at the entrance?" she asked with a frown.
"Not every house. Just our house."
His warm lazy voice sounded in the car making it pleasing to the ear.
Even Rhiannon was carried by the effects of the voice but after some time, she was brought into reality. Her eyes were wide open as she stared at the magnificent house in front of her. It was so huge than her parents' mansion and it screamed luxury. It was surrounded by flowers and there were sea stone crystals that made a path but she didn't know where the path was leading to. There was an open space where it was full of grass which shone brightly evident that they were well taken care of.
She was already in love with the house and the compound.
"How rich are you?"
She mumbled without looking at the man beside her as she found everything outside was more pleasing to the eye than his handsome face.
If Octavius knew what she was thinking, he would command someone to destroy the garden.
Upon hearing her question, Octavius posed what he was doing and glanced at her then looked at what she was looking at outside the window.
"Richer than you can imagine."
There wasn't a trace of pride in his voice, it was just so neutral as if to him, he wasn't rich or the house wasn't luxurious and captivating enough for him.
Rhiannon was shocked and turned to face him without fearing him.
"What do you mean when you say that? Do you be that I might witness something more astonishing and luxurious than this?"
Disbelief was evident in her tone. She searched for answers in the man's face but the man was expressionless in front of her making her pout feeling displeased.
The driver chuckled when he saw the face his new madam had made.
"Madam, this mansion is one of the cheapest mansions the master owns. There are a lot better mansions than these."
He answered without looking at her as he was busy driving the car as he needed to park it in the garage.
"What? Then why did you bring me the cheapest one? Or do you think that I am not worthy to stay in the most expensive mansion?"
Rhiannon was so mad as she wished to see how the so-called most luxurious and expensive mansion her husband earned. Also, she knew that if he was brought here, it would show her value in Octavius' life.
Although they didn't know each other, she felt that since they were already married, they had to trust each other and stop hiding things from one another. Now knowing that her value was so low, she wondered whether she had made a mistake by agreeing on getting married to him or whether he saw her as a cheap woman.
The thought of either of them made her so angry.
The driver panicked when he heard her words. He glanced at his boss through the side mirror only to meet his cold yet indifferent eyes.
This made him panic even more as he knew that his boss was displeased by his words and didn't want to get involved thus he had to settle the misunderstanding by himself.
"No, no madam. You have misunderstood something," the driver hurriedly said in a panic making his words seem as if they were a child's words.
Rhiannon didn't reply to him but raised her eyebrows unto him gesturing him to say what she had misunderstood.
"Miss, I am sure that you know that this mansion is in the best community area and one of the most expensive estates. My master isn't from this city thus he doesn't know which is the most expensive estate. Also, this is his only house in this city. The other houses are in the capital and around the country thus we couldn't go there today but I am sure you will get a chance to go there," he said after calming down a little bit.
Rhiannon widened her eyes and glanced at the emotionless man seated beside her.
She didn't know that she wasn't from the city. When they met, she had thought that he had to be a young master from a wealthy family in the city but now…
She was shocked to know that he came from the capital and his driver's words, he was so rich. Does that mean his family is one of the prominent families in the capital?
"Why are you staring at me so deeply?" a cold voice asked shocking her in the process.
Octavius wasn't pleased by what his chauffeur had said but he knew that he was the one to blame as he didn't want to explain to Rhiannon why she was brought here in one of his 'cheap houses'. He had not thought that the man would reveal more about him than what was required of him.
"I thought you were rich and from a wealthy family but not that rich!"
“Now that you know, do you want to divorce me?” Octaviu asked as he looked at the little girl in front of him.He had thought that she was mature enough when he first saw her ugly face which was full of heavy makeup and looked hilarious but now staring at her fair white face which seemed flawless, he knew that he was wrong.Not to mention her age which he saw when submitting their certificates in the registrar's office.Rhiannon looked at her with watery big eyes as she blinked innocently.“I have already married you or do you want me to become a divorcee at such a young age?” she asked in a soft tone making Octavious speechless while the driver was shocked by her boldness.“If Mrs Rodriguez wants to be a divorcee, I don’t think Mr Rodriguez can refuse,” Octavius answered making Rhiannon speechless.Why doesn’t he follow the rules? She wondered as she glared at him before averting her eyes.Octavius saw her behavior and didn’t say anything.To him, she was just his wife by name but he
“Morning,” Rhiannon said when she saw Octavius seated in the living room.Octavius looked at his watch and then at her before nodding and continuing to work on the laptop.Rhiannon frowned when she saw his reaction. She wanted to complain but when she remembered that they weren’t familiar with each other although they were married, she closed her mouth and walked towards the kitchen.“Good morning Uncle Alfred,” she said when she saw the man.“Morning young mistress, kindly sit down and I will serve you with your breakfast in a few,” Alfred said as he looked at her.“No need. I can see that you are busy. I will make my breakfast,” Rhiannon said as she walked towards the coffee maker.“No. I am been paid to serve you and the young master thus please allow me to do my job,” he insisted.Hearing this, Rhiannon stopped what she was doing and looked at the man since his words reminded her of her nanny.“Okay. Please prepare a glass of passion juice and a chicken sandwich for me. I think the
“Miss Clark, congratulations on becoming the president of our company,” One of the shareholders said with a smile as he looked at Kaylee.“What’s there to congratulate her? If it wasn’t for the fact that Rhiannon died, she would never have become the president. After all, she neither had enough shares nor is she talented at Rhiannon,” a woman said in a mocking tone.When everyone heard her, they remained silent, even the others who intended to congratulate Kaylee and form a good friendship with her to benefit when she took over.Kaylee’s eyes were filled with hatred as she looked at the woman when the room was filled with silence. She wondered why people were still talking about Rhiannon even after her death.“Sorry. I know that I am not as talented as my sister. I am looking forward to learning more from you so that we move to a higher level,” Kaylee said in a low yet pitiful tone.Many men and women admired her for her words and they didn’t compare her with Rhiannon. Some just rolle
The more she walked at the front, Kaylee took steps backward.“Why was my dear sister running away when she saw me?” Rhiannon asked with a smile on her face but her eyes were cold.“You! Aren’t you dead?” Kaylee asked full of fear.“What? Does my sister want me dead so badly so that she can take away my shares and my fiancée?” Rhiannon asked her making the latter speechless.“Rhiannon, is that how you are talking to your younger sister?” her father rebuked her.Rhiannon’s eyes finally left Kaylee and looked at her beloved father.“Father, you guys couldn’t wait till you buried ‘me’ before you gave the company to Kaylee?” Rhiannon asked with a pained look on her face.“But aren’t you fine?” Her father retorted.“Well, how don’t you know that I am not a ghost?” Rhiannon asked causing Kaylee to scream.“So, you are dead and you still appear in front of me? Why do you hate me so much?” Kaylee asked in a loud voice making everyone present speechless at her foolishness.“Is it the person wh
Rhiannon narrowed her eyes as she looked at the lawyer who lowered his head after he met her gaze out of fear and instinct to survive.“Is that so? Then why was Kaylee taking over the office?” Rhiannon asked in an innocent yet curious tone.“That’s her not you. Your mother is the one who put that rule there while Kaylee’s mother never did,” the lawyer answered immediately.“Well, thank you so reminding me that my mother only gave birth to me and that Kaylee isn’t my sister. I almost forgot since she has lived with us for many years,” Rhiannon said innocently but it was enough to make everyone apart from her family and the lawyer laugh.“Rhiannon!” her father shouted in anger as he tried to slap her.Rhiannon held his wrist on time managing g to escape the ruth and pain.“I am sorry but I can’t allow you to slap me in front of people! I am so beautiful that I can’t manage to make my face disfigured,” Rhiannon answered slowly and her tongue carried some fear in them making everyone’s m
No matter how shameless the Clark family were, they didn’t dare say anything thus they could only gnash their teeth as they glared at Rhiannon with deep hatred in their eyes.“Thank you everyone for today. We will be leaving for a board meeting,” Rhiannon said to the reporters with a smile.“Don’t think of taking me as a fool, I have my lawyer with me and I don’t think you want us to go to court as you know that the court will rule in my favor,” Rhiannon told her family in a low tone.“Can we go back to the conference room for a meeting?” she asked the shareholders who nodded their heads after hearing her words.“Also, kindly I do not need outsiders in the meeting.”Her eyes were on Aaron and her stepmother.When the two saw her gaze, they frowned and glared at her but there was nothing they could do as they knew that they shouldn’t go overboard they knew that Rhiannon hated them to the core and she had a lot more power in her hands than they did.“As for my father, since he has hande
Everyone was shocked but they all thought differently.“Sister, thank you so much,” Kaylee said with a proud look.She believed that Rhiannon had been pretending and that she still cared about her that was why she was doing what she was doing. She smiled stupidly as she looked around she wanted everyone to see how close she was with Rhiannon.Rhiannon was confused when she heard the words and was even more confused when she saw Kaylee’s smile. But after a while, she relaxed as she knew what kind of a person Kaylee was.Even without asking further, she knew that the latter had misunderstood her intentions.She smiled at her and gave a warm atmosphere as if she wasn’t the one who was cold in a few minutes.“What do you mean?” Rhiannon asked.“Sister, I know that you don’t want people to know how close we are but does it matter? I don’t know why you ruined my day but I forgive you. You, as the president, and I, as the vice president will make sure that the company moves to a higher level
They all turned their heads towards Rhiannon as they wondered what she really was up to.“Madam, how can you do that? You fought so hard for it but now what to give it back? Can you kindly think about it,” the lawyer said in a worried tone.“I have already thought about it and I know what I am doing,” Rhiannon replied.Her eyes were on her father as she waited to see his reaction and answer.“Sister, how can you say that when you know that the shares have already been given to me?” Kaylee asked softly as she cried but her eyes were cold.“Yes, they have been given to you but you should know that the documents haven’t been processed and taken to the magistrate yet thus if we tear the shares transfer document, there will be no evidence that the shares belong to you. Instead, they will remind dads,” Rhiannon replied.“You! How can you say that? I know that you just want me to have nothing to call my own,” Kaylee said angrily.“How can that be my fault? Hasn’t Dad given you hundreds of th
