“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 promised himself that he could give her everything she needed if she played her role well. Now seeing her behaving like a kid, he wondered whether he had made a mistake in marrying her but when her innocent face and big watery eyes came into his mind, he shocked the regret away and felt that his days ahead wouldn’t be as dull as it always was.
‘Since he doesn’t live here, I am sure that I will be left alone when he goes back to his city. I just can’t believe that this place will be all mine!’ Rhiannon said as she sighed as understood the difference between super rich and being rich.
To her, she didn’t have an eighth of the properties Octavius had. She even suspected that the mansion in front of her costed all the money she had in her bank account together with accessories and the apartments under her name.
“Aren’t you going to get out of the car? Or what do you think about this time?” Octavius asked as he tapped the car window bringing Rhiannon back to reality.
Hearing his words, Rhiannon looked at Octavius with hatred as she wondered when she would get the chance to take a trip around the house when he wasn’t present.
Octavius was taken aback by her look and didn’t know what to say.
Rhiannon got out of the car and walked in front of Octavius without waiting for him to lead the way.
“Well, it seems that she has already taken the role of the house’s madam,” the driver said.
His words fell on Octavius making him sigh as he agreed with the driver but didn’t say anything. He just followed his wife in the house.
Rhiannon stood at the door and waited for Octavius as she knew that it wasn’t right to go in without him even though she had walked in front of him,
“What? I thought that you knew this house too well for you to walk in front of me. I am tired and still feeling dizzy. Don’t forget that I just got discharged. I need to rest,” Rhiannon said in a serious yet weak tone making Octavius pity her.
“Okay,” he said as he rang the bell.
The door was opened by a middle-aged man.
“Sir, welcome back,” the man said and Octavius hummed in response.
“This is my wife, Rhiannon Rodriguez. She will be living here with us. You need to take good care of her,” Octavius introduced Rhiannon.
“This is my butler, Alfred,” he added.
Alfred looked at the lady who was next to his young master and was astonished at how beautiful she was but what he was worried about was whether Rhiannon was of age since she looked underage.
“Hello Mr Alfred,” Rhiannon greeted him in with a polite smile making her seem so radiant and youthful.
“No need to address me in such a formal way when you are my boss also. Call me Uncle Alfred just the same way Octavius addresses me,” Alfred said with an embarrassed look.
“Okay uncle,” she said when he saw the look on his face.
“She needs to rest as has just been discharged from the hospital. Prepare some meals for her to take after a few hours or when she wakes up,” Octavius said as he walked in.
“Madam please,” Alfred said as he gestured Rhiannon to walk in.
“Thank you, uncle,” Rhiannon said as she walked in.
“Okay, young master. Is there anything that I should specifically prepare?” Alfred asked.
Octavius looked at Rhiannon waiting for her to answer the question as he knew that Alfred knew his liking too well.
“Uhm, everything is fine. Octavius, can I eat before I go to rest? I am famished!” she said in a low tone and an embarrassed look on her face while she was holding Octavius' right arm.
Alfred looked at Rhiannon with a worried look as he knew that his young master hated making contact with other people.
“Okay. I think that that might also work so that no one would disturb you when you are doing your things,” Octavius said as he patted her head as he understood her.
He had woken her very early in the morning and knew that she might be hungry as she didn’t eat enough in the morning.
All these fell in Alfred’s eyes and he was shocked at the scene in front of him.
As one of the few people who are always on Octavius' side, he knew well whether Octavius was in a relationship or not thus when the latter came with a woman and introduced her as a wife, he knew in his heart that the two of them must have a made a deal but he wasn’t quite sure of it.
“Alfred, I am sure that you have heard what she has said. Prepare the meals, I will take her upstairs to show her the bedroom,” Octavius said as he walked toward the stairs.
“Okay young master,” Alfred said.
Rhiannon was shocked at how luxurious the house and its interior design were but not so shocked as she had once entered such a mansion when she had attended a banquet.
She hurriedly followed Octavius as the latter was walking faster making her cussed inwardly as she also regretted not having long legs like him.
“What are you planning on doing next?” Octavius said as he was curious.
“Revenge. It will be starting tomorrow. I will make them regret everything,” she said coldly making Octavius look at her with a serious move.
“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
The soft calm voice entered Kaylee’s voice. Though they seemed soft and didn’t have any warning, Kaylee felt that her good days were numbered.This made her regret doing what she did but after some time, she changed her thoughts and regretted not making sure that Rhiannon had really died.The shareholders left one by one after Rhiannon left as they didn’t see the need to show courtesy to the Adams.Although Rhiannon had given her father the position, they could all tell that she was planning something, but they didn’t dare ask or guess as they had seen what a person she was. They sighed as they thought of her sudden change and they guessed that it had to do with the fire.Mr Adams looked at his daughter and felt that his years of spoiling her had been fruitless and that she wasn’t as half considerate as Rhiannon.Kaylee felt the glare and turned her eyes. “Dad, what’s the matter?” Her tone was respectful and polite but it carried some fear in it.She had lived with her father thus sh
