She hesitated before following him. She saw Mr. Woods sitting there already eating. She gulped softly and took a seat. Taking a glance at Diasy, she noticed she ate in silence.Someone cleared her throat and Richard's brow twitched to listen to what she was about to say."Richard," She called out softly.Richard picked his spoon and dipped it into his mouth before sending a warning glare at her.Be careful with what you want to say.She gulped tightly but then lighten up. "You… you sent me those flowers. I am grateful." She said.His eyes narrowed and Aspen stopped eating. Mr. Woods looked up at his son."Flowers?" Richard asked with his brows creased. Daisy gave a curt nod."I did not send any flowers." He clarified and her eyes lost their glow. He was not even going to admit that he sent her the flowers? Does he hate her that much?"Richard, I know our relationship has been on the brink of breaking off, you should not blame me. If you had not shown affection for your…""Stop! I hav
You know what to do." Daisy said, standing up and smiling at Mr. Woods before she exited the place. Aspen came out from the place she was hiding as she watched Daisy walk away. She stood before the door and peeped through the door to see Mr. Woods in deep thoughts.Wasn't Daisy just crying like her heart was shattered into a million pieces?Why does she look strange?She shook her head and walked to her room. She branched at the kitchen and took a glass of juice. She went through her contact and her Instagram recommended Floyd Wolfe. She hesitated before clicking on his profile.Pictures of him and Nicole were splashed all over there. Not to add his business deals, she sighed and stared at him properly.Did she miss him? No, it has been three years. So where does the feeling want to come from?He had moved on, and she has also.But the kids… she must do everything to keep them away from him. He wanted to have them killed, if he knew they still lived, who knows what Loretta will order
They soon got home and Richard hurried up the stairs to his room. But surprisingly, his father was home. He stopped in his tracks as his father stood at the entrance with his arms leaning against the wall."To the office." He instructed him and Richard looked to see Aspen staring back at him too. With skepticism, he reluctantly followed his father who had a stiff back. Richard noticed this and he knew that for his father to be tense like this, it is not a good sign.They got into the office and his father took a seat, his face void of any emotion and his eyes cold like ice."Lock the door." He ordered, his voice sounding like frost. Richard swallowed hard and locked the door. He turned to his father, hope he was not going to turn to a beast and prey on him? He rubbed his palm against his trousers and took a seat before him. His father studied him with eyes narrowed into slits for a while before moving to lean on the desk."We are done with the deal with Floyd. We will be returning bac
Welcome sir." The board chorused as Richard and Aspen walked into the meeting hall. Richard who had his hands in his pockets, nodded his head curtly and took a seat. Aspen sat down close to him with her face hard. She had woken up this morning to tell her kids, she won't be coming home. Her kids cried and she could not help but think of ways to bring them to her. She refused to talk to Richard except for when he asks about things work related."This is Mr. Richardson. Mr. Woods son." The Managing director introduced. The board gave a round of applause.Richard cleared his throat and scanned through the board. "I am satisfied with the your art of receiving your new CEO. I hope we work well. And I hope you know that I don't tolerate any slacking or late coming?" He asked."Yes sir." They chorused in reply. Richard nodded his head and they started talking about what Richard will be dealing with. Aspen would jot down the things even though she hardly paid attention to it.**"I heard Aspen
Days after, Richard and Aspen's relationship strained further and Aspen made sure to be on the look out for those people that were sending her messages. They seemed to get the fact that she was awaiting them so they just stopped. Richard stopped talking to her about he and Daisy's relationship. He did not want her to be caught in the midst of it at all. They had just come back from office that night and he had seen his father urging him to come with his hands curved in a come hither motion. Richard sent a glance to Aspen who just bowed and left for her room.Richard entered the office, his heart hammering against his chest because he knew whatever his father was about to say was a bad news already. "Father. " He greeted. Mr. Woods turned to his son and sighed. "I see you have been doing your best, trying to get Daisy back. It is really good son. That is nice. Very nice. You know when it comes to business, we should be ready to make sacrifice." He said and Richard put his hands in hi
It has been a week since she was fired from work. Richard did not call her neither did she too. She knew he could not call her if his father was the one behind everything. Aspen stood before the hotel's window, her eyes staring out into the busy streets. She did not know what to do but she has been trying to get an apartment and the agent said he was going to come through soon. She was even yet to give her brother a call, she knew how worried he would be when she tells him that she has been fired. But she knew that she could not just leave the city like that. Did she mention the weird message she received on the day she lodged into the hotel.It had made her self conscious of anywhere she goes to. She sighed and picked her phone. It is better than later. She dialed Benny's number and it rang for some minutes before he picked it."Hello," He drawled out, happiness obvious in his tone and a smile curled up on her lips."Hi," She replied softly."Decided to regain your memory? That you h
"Really? Where are you? I will come over now." Aspen said to the agent. He had called her to inform her that he found an apartment already and that it has been finalized. She got into her sandals and took a cab to meet him. She finally saw him and they exchanged pleasantries and began to discuss about the apartment."This is really a nice place for the money." She noted and he nodded his head."I am glad that you liked it." He said and she turned to him."All that remains is my signature, right?" She asked and he handed the files over to her. She went through it and signed in the place she was supposed to."Thank you so much for your help." She said and he gave her a curt nod before leaving. She exhaled and looked around the place.It is time to spend some money. She thought.In the following days, she made sure to get the necessary things for the apartment. Although she had lodged out of the hotel, it was still not easy for her to move in. With bothering on how her kids will come ove
(1926)"Hello, Benny." She picked her phone and held it in place with her shoulders as she cut the cabbage."Hello, beautiful sister. How is your investigation doing?" He teased her and she rolled her eyes."Be careful." she warned him, her eyes were hardened. He snorted a laughter and took a seat in his office."So what is up?" He asked."I... I got a new job at the bar." She said and his brows twitched."You did? Wait, a bar? Why not apply in a company?" He asked.She exhaled deeply. "I did but I am yet to get any reply. Anyway, it is just for the time being so... It is nothing much." She replied and he nodded his head understandably."Okay, so when are you resuming?" He questioned."Tonight." She replied and he sighed."Wish you good luck." He said and she smiled softly."Thank you." She mumbled and disconnected the call.She had gone through her email only to see that they had accepted, even though it hardly brought any excitement to her, she still tried to make it work out.

.A Week Later.Aspen and Floyd with the kids stood before her mother’s grave as tears ran down her face. That was what she has been doing for the past week. Crying, thinking, and inability to sleep.She hardly ate even though Floyd tried his best. Benny has been buried just in the place he wanted., beside his parents.Floyd rubbed her shoulders as she laid her head on his chest. She pulled away and laid the flowers she had gotten down before her mother’s grave.Glory Lockhart.She rose back and was about to turn to leave when she came face-to-face with Cole. More tears rolled down her eyes as she lost control and ran towards him.“Dad!” She cried.He blinked back the tears and held her tight. He has also been searching for her ever since Anita claimed that she sent her to the orphanage. When he met her, he had a connection with her and he resumed searching for her again. That was when he was told that she was his daughter.“Becca.” He called her actual name.“Dad!” She sniffled and pu
Floyd went towards her and read the note with her. Anita? Nicole’s mother. What has she got to do with all of these?Aspen squeezed the note in her hand as anger surged through her veins. Anita has gone too far.How dare she lay her filthy hands on her kids? She was definitely going to regret it.It was also written in the letter that she should come alone with Floyd without the cops. The address was dropped.“Anita! That bitch.” She gritted out.She turned around and handed the paper over to Floyd who collected it from her. “The kids are with Anita. We need to meet her. Might as well settle an old score with her.” She said, her eyes looking ahead.“How did they get to her?” He asked, completely confused.Aspen looked him in the eye. “It is a long story. I will tell you after everything is over.” She said.He nodded and they both stepped out and got into the car. He picked up his phone and made a call to his friend who was a cop. As he drove on the road, they discussed the plan on how
Nicole has been trying to get to her father but it seemed like he had blocked her. And she could not go back into that house because her mother was starting to suspect her.She hid here at her father’s villa and tried to reach him but she knew her mother would catch up with her soon. It could be her mother’s hand works too.She was beyond frustrated and helpless. She wanted to stop her mother and could not.Her father - she should stop calling him her father. Not like he was anywhere.Just as she was about to try it again, the door creaked open and she could hear the clicking of heels against the tiles floor.Her mother was here.Sweats dropped down her forehead as she rose up to check for her. “Mother?” She called out.Anita appeared right before her. Nicole trailed her gaze from her feet to her face, slightly glancing at her right hand where she held a gun.“M-Mom, w-what are you d-doing with a gun?” She stuttered, stepping back slightly.Anita’s lips which were painted with a deep
Anna was busy playing with the kids when her phone rang. She had picked it and Daisy’s voice came through. “Did you see the message I sent to you?” her voice had an edge of mischief to it.“What message is that?” Anna asked, not wanting to entertain her.Daisy pulled up a smirk. “Oh! You have not checked it. No wonder you seem so calm. A piece of advice... Check it.” With that, she disconnected the call.Anna hurriedly looked through her messages box and there, she found what Daisy had sent her. Her eyes went wide as she saw the image. It was her mother. She was taped from her mouth to her legs.What the hell was Daisy doing?She rushed out of the apartment, not even caring to look at the kids. She got into the nearest stop and signaled at a cab that stopped right in front of her. She showed him the address and sat back, different thoughts circulating her entire mind. She was so restless that she would sometimes get lost in her thoughts.If that fucker does anything to her mother, sh
Two weeks later, Aspen has been recovering as hard as she could. She was still yet to tell anyone about getting back her memory.She was never Floyd’s sister. All of these have been Nicole’s mother's plot from the very beginning.She did not want to tell Floyd because he knew how he would be crazy. She wanted to confront the lady by herself. No wonder everything in that house felt so familiar. No wonder she felt a strong connection to Glory the day she had seen the picture.Anna and Richard had told her about Sheba working for Ace and she was quite shocked. She was in total shock because she trusted her with her kids’ life but what could she do?She was even told that Ace no longer lived there. It was good for him. “How do you feel?” Floyd asked, rubbing her palms. She smiled softly.“Better.” She replied.He smiled at her. She stared at his face, his stubble was not visible. He looked like he has not had a good night's sleep in a long time.“How about you go home to take some rest a
Her mother and the driver were having sex before her. The way he slammed into her made her shake her head to see if she was imagining things. There was no way her mother would cheat on him. They soon finished and she made sure to hide properly.“How was it?” That was her mother’s voice.“I did it. It was a success. She flew out of the car like a piece of paper in the wind.” He laughed.Who were they talking about?“So what is the next stage to plan?” He asked her.“Kill Cole. I will pressurize him to put everything in our daughter, Nicole’s name and I will poison him with an incense I had gotten.” She informed him.Nicole did not know if she was hearing correctly. She was not Cole’s daughter? She was the driver’s daughter. No wonder he stayed away from her and sometimes stared at her with an emotion she could not understand but now everything was clearer.She hurriedly tiptoed her way out of the house, making sure no one noticed she came. She ran towards her father’s villa. Her mother
Floyd was busy playing with the kid even though his mind was on Aspen.She was yet to be back.Floyd’s phone rang and he jerked up. He was expecting it to be Aspen but he picked it, and a different person’s voice came on. “Hi, am I speaking to Floyd Wolfe?” “Yes.” He replied.“I found your contact as one of the emergency contacts on this person’s phone.” He said again.“Who am I speaking with?” He asked.“Your wife has been admitted into the hospital. I will send you the address now. Your presence is needed.” The person said and hung up.Aspen was in the hospital? How did she get there? How?His phone beeped with a message and it was the address as the person said. He turned to the kids and then to Sheba who seemed scared. “Take care of the kids. I need to get to someplace.” He told her.He did not even peck the kids as he stomped out of the house. He did not care that it was raining. He ran towards the street stop to get a cab. He finally got one and he passed the address to him. Hi
Å for ACE!Aspen sniffed in and turned to Floyd. “Please can you give me your car key?” She asked.Floyd nodded and handed the key over to her. She stomped out of the house with Floyd yelling after her.“Aspen, you can’t drive in this state. Let me take you there.” He told her but she turned to him.“No, stay with the kids. They would be back soon and as for me, I will be back.” She said and entered the car before driving off. She checked the address on Benny’s letter, he had written it there. She located it and soon reached there.As she stepped out, what came into view was not something she had ever expected Ace to own. It was totally different from what he looked like. She remembered vividly when he had said that he wished his company looked like Benny’s clothing line but this... This was definitely more than Benny’s own.She slammed the door shut and clutched the papers in her hands. She began to March towards the entrance. As soon as she entered, the receptionist’s signature voi
