2024-05-28 04:36:52"We can't keep on waiting, the woman he promised us he'd get married to left him and travelled abroad. The one you said you'd find hasn't been found yet. Why should we keep on waiting? It's been months!!" One of the board members shouted at Mrs. Eduardo who sat listening to them.
Her husband had sent her instead to go to the meeting and listen to the complaints of the board members, since she was the one with the task of bringing in his bride. "I'm telling you to calm down, I've found a wife for him, the marriage will happen soon. Just be patient" she said to them but the board that consisted mostly of old men did not seem to take her word. " You keep telling us that and in the end we get no results" another chirped in. " He needs to get married before he can lay claim to the CEO position. Which one of us here doesn't know that some of men in the family do not live long once they clock 30years. Those that do, they're met with amnesia later in their life. We can't keep waiting. Who knows which fate would meet your son" another directed at her and she swallowed his words, not knowing what to say in her defense as what he had said were true. " Your son needs to get married and birth an heir. We can't be sure we'd keep waiting for him to do that while we have other options" the man who seemed to be the leader of the board said. " And who is the other option?" Niklas shot as he entered the boardroom, making some of the men stare at him. "He doesn't even seem serious. We called this meeting since 8am and he is arriving by 10. How would he lead the company if he were to be given a chance" a man muttered but loud enough for him to hear what he had said. He shrugged his words off. He would soon be the owner of the company, there was no use for him to work his ass off trying to be the first to come to work. " What I'm saying is that you should sit up especially when we have an option we can replace you with. Ethan, your cousin. He's from the lineage and can be used to replace you if you still keep dulling" the man finally muttered what he had wanted to say. Mrs Claudia felt a lump to her throat, they were not just thinking of how they'd oust her son but they were seeking to replace him with his cousin. Claudia must have been the one that had put them up to it. Niklas exchanged thunderous glances with the man that has mentioned his cousin's name, and next he watched his mother's reaction who seemed to have been threatened by what they had said to him. ******* "You need to go through with the wedding, Nik, you can't keep rejecting her. She's our last hope. You heard the board as well" Mrs Eduardo said as the car began to move, driving them back home. Niklas did not give her a reply, he had found the lady to be way off his league and he was not interested in giving her any chance. And sharing a one night stand with him which she might had manipulated into happening too, totally off his league. "Niklas, say something or do you want to sit back and watch your cousin take over the company after all my efforts in it's growth?" "Mom, I should be the last person you'd ask that. I'm very much on your side but we need to find another bride. I cannot marry the lady and that's final" " Nik, we don't have a choice anymore. Time is running off and I wouldn't want your father to force you into marrying Vanessa. The very fact that Claudia had brought her in for you to marry is already a red flag, imagine what she'd do to destroy you if you marry her" " I never considered marrying her either mom, she's too uncultured to my liking, you need to look again and find another bride" " Are you still that pained that Serah left you? You told me yourself that she'd return, so why are you looking for a perfect bride?" She chirped in. " What do you mean?" " Andrea she's a good girl and if you were to marry and divorce her after Serah returns to you, she won't raise an issue out of it. We'd pay her handsomely, her financial status won't let her disagree" she said and looked away, down that she was saying what she had said out of desperation. Niklas looked at her, she did have a point, Avery valid point he hadn't thought about. Picking up his phone, he was ready to make a call.Related chapters

An unknown number had called her and told her to come outside before the call went off. She glanced at the clock on the wall of her room, and she still had forth five minutes before she'd begin preparing for her next part time work. She picked her purse and began to walk out of the room. On reaching outside the gates of her house, she saw a car parked at the front of it. The car was not belonging in her Street and it was very obvious because the neighborhood children had all gathered admiring the car and chattering yo themselves how they would buy one like it when they'd become adults and successful. A young man was standing by the side of the door waiting for her to come, as she stepped closer to where the car was, he opened the front seat for her to enter before he went back to reenter the car, which he appeared to be the driver of. She wondered what it's use had been for when she had her own hands to open the car with. The familiar scent that filled her nostrils needed no t

Andrea's father, dressed in a simple suit, tried to maintain his composure as he took a chair in the large table of the lavish surrounding. Her mother, visibly nervous, clutches her handbag tightly, while her younger brother gazes wide-eyed at the splendor before him and how empty everywhere had been, looking as if the whole place had been rented out for the occasion. "Finally decided to show up" Niklas sneered, not bothering to hide his disdain as he looked at his wrist watch."I was beginning to think that you got lost" he added.Andrea's cheeks flushed but she held her hand high determined not to act bothered by his taunts."We're here now" she replied evenly, keeping her voice steady despite the nervousness she felt inside her. "So, you're the family we've heard so much about." Claudia said, letting out a derisive chuckle. "An aspiring actress and a factory worker. Quite the humble background." " She's not the factory worker mother. Her father is. I told you she was a part ti

As Claudia walked out to the front of the hotel, her face remained a mask of calm composure. Inside, however, a storm of emotions brewed. She felt humiliated and angry at being rebuked so openly by Mrs. Eduardo. Her carefully superiority had been shattered in front of the lowlifes. She stood stiffly by the entrance, her daughter close by her side, and fished her phone out of her bag to call someone as she waited for her driver. "Go through with the Plan B. Plan A just failed" she muttered and ended the call. As she waited, she replayed the scene in her mind, her anger growing with each recollection. How dare they humiliate her in such a manner, reminding her of her past failures? Her marriages had ended badly, true, but she still had strategic moves she could use to secure a future at the peak for her son. The driver arrived, but before getting in, she turned to her daughter with a steely gaze. "Remember this, never let anyone make you feel less than what you are. They may have

Andrea paused at the doorway, her heart sinking as she heard her father's angry voice echoing through the house. "I can't let my daughter marry into that family. Didn't you see how they were? Their father didn't even come, he didn't find us Worthy of his time and you're still trying to convince me to let Andrea marry their son?? You disappoint me!" Her mother responded "You're not being fair. You know why Mr. Eduardo couldn't come—he's ill. Mrs. Eduardo was welcoming and would be a good mother in-law to Andre. It's only Claudia who caused trouble." " Hear yourself Maria. Marriage is a sacred sacrament. I can't let my daughter enter one that would break her later. Only Claudia?" He continued. "Did you hear the things she said? She's a part of that family, and she showed exactly what they think of us. They think we're beneath them!" His voice was loud, echoing with his indignation. Andrea's legs could not move, she knew the argument would not end anytime soon and that her step moth

Andrea Eduardo looked at the white gown she was wearing and a tear dripped down her eyes. Only a few minutes remained before she'd walk down the aisle to the altar so as to be wedded to Niklas Eduardo, the true owner of the surname, Eduardo. Raising the overflowing gown with it's intricately beaded designs as much as she could, she walked over to the window of the dressing room she was in. She stole a stare out of the glasses and saw her mother. She looked out again and saw her, she was smiling and wore clothings that worth millions. Clothing's that even in years to come, she was not sure she would be able to afford buying for her. This was the dream she had planned and promised her family but now , someone else was fulfilling it instead of her. A girl came to the room to inform her that it was the time for her to arrive at the altar. Heaving a sigh, she went . The venue was designed by a perfectionist, she could tell because there was no way a normal person would achieve

The priest, standing under a canopy of flowers, began the ceremony with solemnity as Andrea and Niklas reached and stood opposite, facing each other in front of him. His voice echoed through the hall, reciting the traditional vows. The flower girls and boys performed their roles flawlessly as if they had been trained before hand, adding to the picture-perfect scene that felt hollow to the couple. The priest began,"Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to witness the union of Andrea and Niklas in holy matrimony. This is a day of great joy and celebration." The words seemed to hang in the air, unacknowledged by the couple. Andrea’s mind wandered to her past, to her lost love and the dreams she once held, her plans for the future as well as how she sought to become the best known actress. Niklas, on the other hand, was mentally plotting his next move in the business world, his heart hardened by years of ambition and bitterness. "Do you, Niklas Eduardo, take Andrea to be your l

"Make yourself at home Andrea, or should I say, daughter in-law" Mrs Eduardo said and laughed so loudly, making her son look at her , wondering if she had run mad with the way she was laughing because he got married." Of course mother" Andrea said, smiling and bowing to the woman, reciprocating the new name she had to call her." Aigoooooo" she coed loudly, holding her mouth while smiling like a teenage girl blushing at the flirting skills of a younger lover." I've arranged everything you'd need, if you are to need anything else, don't forget to call my attention or that of the maids" she said to her again, noticing her son who was leaving to the room, tired from hearing the cringe he felt from listening to their conversations."And oh my son" she said and brought her lips close to her ears, wanting to whisper something to her."He was born a strong kid, I hope you're strong and ready, I don't know how strong he'd do you down there" she whispered and immediately held her lips again,

Andrea was left standing and watching, waiting to see if there was anyone else coming to give her a piece of their minds and reminding her about her place as a country bumpkin but no one seemed to come, except for the little girl she had seen earlier. " My mother and her mother are always like that to everyone. Don't take it to heart and think it's only you they're mean to" the girl said, making her face expressionless as possible, not wanting to betray that she worried for her. " Ohh, thank you for the heads-up" Andrea muttered and gave the girl a thumbs up with her two hands. " What does that mean? Is that what they do at your province?" She asked, curious and irritated at the same time that she was conversing for long with the new lady of the house. "It means that we're good and that I'm happy you're caring for me and I want us to be friends" Andrea went on the explain to the girl who seemed never to have seen anyone doing a thumbs up before. " I don't want to be your friend.

The events of the other night replayed in Niklas' head like a movie being repeated.No, be hadn't planned to attend the ball, that was why he had sent the man whom he was told was her ex instead.He had no intentions of attending and he had no intentions of making Andrea's attend it either.The man had been paid to come to the function and play the recording and act like the mastermind behind it.He was to hack into the events computer system and was to do this through that way and when he'd get investigated, he would admit he did it because he was hurt that he had bee abandoned.Mr Lee had called him countlessly but he was not in the mood to answer any of his calls, but when his call came for the twentieth time, be was unable to ignore it and had to answer, which was how he got to know about how the man he had employed to carry out a very simple task had gone ahead to change the details of the script he had asked him to play by.It wasn't just a humiliation on Andrea's side, it was a

There was something hidden in the glare Mrs Eduardo had shot Niklas with. It wasn't just a normal glare and neither was it meaningless as well.It had to mean something, something mostly about her being disappointed in him and something he had done, what he had done what she was still trying to comprehend.She greeted her and turned to leave for her room. Holding the pains she felt from the heel in her feet still in.She wanted to pull the shoes off but thought against it. It was just a few minutes left before it would be over and she'd be in her room.Mrs Eduardo smiled at her as she informed her that she would going upstairs and Andrea plastered a fake smile on her face as well, even though her heart was bleeding with numerous questions she wanted to ask her.Maybe she left at the heat of the moment. Maybe she had gone after John had began badmouthing her. She wouldn't want to be present to witness her beloved daughter in-law being embarrassed that way in public because surely, the

The glass of water Dante held fell to his feet and broke."Is she going to allow him fool her this way? There's also something sinister with the glances he's exchanging with the man who did that, why is he beginning to act all saintly" he screamed at no one in particular as he watched clips of what happened at the EMC ball on his television.He hadn't want to concern himself with anything concerning EMC Conglomerates. It was none of his business. They did shady dealings for their business and he didn't want to get caught or get mixed up in it through one thing nor the other.But seeing the first headline on his phone about Andrea, the manipulative wife of the the CEO of EMC Conglomerates, he couldn't let his hate for EMC stop him from knowing what the news was about, and especially because it pertained to the woman he had a crush on. Seeing how things had unfolded and how he had begun in his revelation of what he had seen as the epic unmasking of the century, Dante could tell that i

She couldn't take her eyes off him.He sat on the next step in front of the entrance while she sat on the first.She had finished drying the wetness ok her body caused by the wine she got poured with a handkerchief he had given to her.It was seemingly the first time he was being this nice to her. And with the way he had defended her, she couldn't keep the recurring thoughts of it out of her mind. "Thank you" she managed to mutter as she stood up from where she was and handed him his handkerchief which he had lent her. He took it from her, but avoided his eyes from meeting hers.There was something with them earlier when she had given him thar close up look from her teary eyes.They called onto him for protection and warmth, and he had to train himself to ignore them."The driver will be here soon with the car, we just have to wait for a few minutes more" " How about mother?" Her voice came again, breaking as she called her name out. She had wondered where she was as well. She had

As the sounds of his intermittent claps echoed in the hall, Niklas felt a mixture of emotions churning within him. His heart ached seeing Andrea standing there, drenched in humiliation, her teary eyes scanning the room for any sign of refuge. This wasn’t what he wanted, not really. Yes, he had orchestrated this scandal to divert attention from his own public disgrace, but seeing her like this, so broken and lost, made him feel an overwhelming sense of regret.The sight of Andrea standing there, holding her cheek where she had been slapped, was more than he could bear. He had never intended for it to go this far. The plan was supposed to be a mere distraction, a temporary measure to shift the public’s gaze away from his own failings.He had enlisted John's help because he had felt like he would be the best person to crush her ego without her suspecting his involvement, but seeing how he took it personal and as an avenue to bully her, as well as the lady that had come with him, he cou

"I'll be your mother Andrea. Your papa told me what happened with your mom. I promise I won't be like her.i stay by your side, along side your brother" she said and turned to make way for her son to come forward and greet her.Andrea only managed to move her head and looked in his direction, before she looked away from them.He was young. Her father had married a single mother, like himself.But it was so soon, he didn't even give her the chance to mourn her mother who had abandoned her. Who had left her regardless of how much tears she shed as she begged her not to leave her with the car that came to pick her that rainy night.But her mom did not pay need, she didn't look back. She didn't even tell the driver to pause the car even for a minute so she'd get back and hug her daughter who was crying in the rain for her.Instead, she threw a few wads of currency notes at her, the notes which were destroyed in the rain that night.It hadn't passed a month she left and her father was takin

"Then I don't know how it happened. She suddenly became distant to me. She began to give me the cold treatment, not answering her calls, not replying my chats. She was never free for me again. I thought perhaps it was because she had graduated from art school and was looking for a job but I just found out the reason. I never knew she got married to Niklas Eduardo. I never knew she's his new bride. I'm confused. Did she use me and leave me when she found someone better? When she was suffering and everyone avoided her, I was there for her but the second she found a richer man, she left me for him. I'm curious if that's how all women behave and that is why I am asking Andrea for an answer, with you all as my witnesses"Andrea stood puzzled still. She could not understand what he was trying to do nor why he was trying to do so.For what reasons. Why was he lying against her in the presence of all the people. Even the paparazzi that had begun to take photos of her secretly.Was she going t

"Andrea?" She heard him call her name.The tone of his voice came awkwardly so familiar to her. What was he doing there and why today of all days.Why did he have to show his face to her, why did he end up being the first person she was bumping into.If she were allowed to choose between him and her arrogant husband, she'd chose Niklas over him. Atleast his face didn't hurt while being looked at."I heard you married the CEO of EMC Conglomerates. How did you do it? I'm curious, can you share some tips? " He began pestering her despite her body language indicating to him that she didn't want to speak to him nor answer any of his questions." Why are you being shy? We were dating before. Sharing such an information won't hurt would it? Or you have a secret you don't want to tell? Did you have a one night stand with him or perhaps have a secret baby for him no one knows about? Because I honestly can't believe what a man of Niklas Eduardo's standing would see in you to decide to make you

Mrs Eduardo said that she would look pretty in the dress and like she had said, she really did.Andrea could not help but marvel at herself and how fitting the gown was on her body.The world of the rich, they made sure everything they wore was fitting. If she had been in her former home and where she came from, she would have made do with any dress she could find for a company dinner party.Why was she getting over herself, it's not as if she'd get invited anyways. She had never gotten invited to any.She watched herself in the front window of the car as she waited for her mother-in-law to be out of the home so they could leave.She had promised to come with her. She was going to the party with her daughter in-law, like she had always wanted, like she had always hoped for.Andrea on her own part was happy she would not be going alone.She was Niklas' wife, but he had told her nothing about the party.She had heard about it from his mother and she was the one that had invited her beca
