What did she just hear? Her eyes were widened as she stood before Mrs. Liza. She had just entered the building after dropping her kids off and Mrs. Liza broke the news to her that Macaulay has been fired. Like he has been fired. Earlier this morning, Floyd had sent a message to her that he will arrive late but this news was really surprising her."But... Mr Floyd... He still looked he did not trust me." She hesitated the words but Mrs. Liza gave her a faint smile."You misunderstood him. He knew who Macaulay was and it was just a matter of time till he was kicked out. Don't beat yourself up to it." She said and Aspen gazed at her.So Floyd actually believed her.But why did he allow her to think so bad of him like that?What other things has he done to just make her feel hatred for him?She shook her head as Mrs. Liza patted her on her shoulders before walking off. She went to the office to take care of some things before Floyd came.** Richard picked the glass of water and downed i
Aspen followed Floyd out of the company after telling Mrs. Liza where they were heading to. Mrs. Liza had just smiled when she saw them and told them that everything will be fine even though Aspen had tried to make her do by herself to the business party. It just came sudden but as the time that they spent in the car went on, she realized that Floyd was actually helping. They soon got to the boutique and instead of her going through the racks it was Floyd who took it upon himself to choose the dress she would wear. She just followed him. He picked some gowns and passed it to her do try. Even when she tried to keep her heart from thinking that he was doing because he still loved her, she could not help the heart skip that happened when she came out of the dressing and the way he had stared at her like she was still his wife. He seemed to realize what he was doing so he shook his head and gave a tight nod."It is nice. Not flashy but elegant." He said and they proceeded to getting her s
"So you said you are the one that is going to be representing the company tomorrow and we will be meeting there?" Benny asked. He had already told her about the fact that he would be coming to attend the party and was also shocked to hear that his sister would also be coming."That is nice. This boss of yours is quite sensible." He said and she rolled her eyes. She knew how mad he would be when he finds out that her boss was her ex- husband. Not to even talk about the fact that she did not tell him how her ex- colleague had tried to assault her."I know right. So when will you be coming?" She asked him."I will give you a call as soon as I reach the venue. I need to drop off some clients dresses which she would also be wearing at the venue." He said and her brows knitted together."And who is this client?""You should know her. Nicole Lockhart." he replied and she snorted."She gave you a job." She said."Yes, you know her?""Well, she was responsible for Floyd divorcing me." She said
He pulled her to her feet. "What are you doing here?" She asked him. He smiled faintly. The man speaking long forgotten."I came to represent the company I work for." He said and her eyes flicked to Benny who stood there with his eyes zeroed in on Ace."Hmm, this is Ace. The neighbor I told you about." She said and Benny watched Ace stare back at him. Benny felt like there was something about this Ace. Like he was not who he painted himself to be to his sister. Ace extended his hand with a tight smile and Benny watched it for a second before taking it."Ace Spencer.""Benedict Gerald." They introduced themselves and shook their hands, their eyes not leaving each other."You are a fashion designer. I have heard of you. Your works are top rated even though you keep yourself exclusive to some wealthy people. A pity I won't get to wear your designs." Ace said with a shake of his head while Aspen just chuckled slightly."Since you are here, how about you carry on?" Aspen said and they so
Hot tears cascaded down Nicole's cheeks as she lamented on how expensive the dress was and how she planned to use it. Daisy who had followed her after seeing what happened began to pat her shoulders."It would be all over the internet. Everything." She lamented."No, your father is taking care of it now." Her mother said softly. She cried even more."Don't cry, Nicole. It was all a mistake. Your makeup will be ruined." Daisy said again."Get that waiter for me." Her mother said frantically, her eyes reddening in anger."It is not the waiter's fault. It was the gown. Where did you say you were getting it from again?" Her father asked again and Nicole looked up through her teary eyes."It was Benedict Gerald." She said and her father's brows drew in."But what kind of dress did he make? It was not even tight. Like it was made with cheap materials."They did not get the chance to reply when a voice came through from the door. "Good day, ma'am." Benny said and they all raised their heads
Benny stepped into the toilet, his eyes not leaving Floyd for a second.Aspen moved towards him to hold him back.Benny stopped his sister with a smile and faced Floyd."So you are the mother fucker who hurt and cheated on my sister. And now you blackmailed her to be your secretary?" He asked, slowly. Aspen winced as she tried to hold him back."Benny, you are getting this all wrong." She said and he pushed her behind him."Sister? Huh? You are her brother who she was quite worried about at that time? Nice meeting you." Floyd said, extending his hand out to him. Benny eyed him hard."Do you think I am joking?" Benny questioned him and Floyd raised his brows at the tone he used."Relax, Benedict Gerald. I would rather you don't say anything much for now." Floyd said with a knowing smile on his lips, his eyes slowly directing to Aspen. Benny studied him in the eye before turning to his sister. "You can leave, sister. I would love to speak to your ex-husband, " He said, his voice biting

Snippet: He caught one by the sleeve as he landed a punch on his cheekbone. "Who sent you?" He asked him. Their eyes darted across each other and refused to answer him.

PART TWO: THE BEGINNING OF THE END.INTRO. Previously On Part One.He caught one by the sleeve as he landed a punch on his cheekbone."Who sent you?" He asked him. Their eyes darted across to each other and they refused to answer him. Just as he was about to raise his hand to punch another one, something heavy landed on his head and he fell down instantly, gripping the place tight. The blurry vision of a man standing with a smirk on his face and handling what seemed like money to the guys he had run after was all he saw before he succumbed to the darkness.***"How could you be so careless to let Nicole Lockhart dress tear like that?" The older woman snapped at him and his eyes hardened in anger. He knew this was going to happen. He just did not know that it was as soon as they arrived from the party. He also knew that they would notice the trick he pulled. That was how they were. Always judging and watching his every move. Making him to be their son, not his parents. The muscle in hi

.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
