Aspen was a nervous wreck as she stood in the reception of the building. The receptionist was busy typing away on her laptop and she was yet to be summoned by the whosoever was supposed to. She swallowed lightly and glanced around for any image of a person waiting for."Miss, you are called. Follow me." Someone said from the glass door. Aspen stared at the lady and hurriedly stood up to follow her.She met with another lady who seemed like the person in charge of recruiting workers in the company."Our boss will be visiting today and I advise you to be on your best behaviour. The days being your first and you being the executive secretary. I have read through your CV and I will say it is quite impressive. You can start work today but there is a meeting going on now and I will advise you to follow the rest of the people." The lady whose name Aspen came to realize is Liza, said.Aspen nodded and gave her a quick bow. "Thank you so much." She said and made her way to the conference hall.
"Hello, Aspen. Can you bring me the files I asked you to work on?" Floyd asked as he held the telephone with his shoulder against his ear as scribbled some things down on the files before him."Okay, sir." She said and packed the files. Thankfully she had finished them this morning or else she did not know how Floyd will react. From what she heard from the past few days since she started working, she knew that despite how playful Floyd could be, he was serious and focused when it comes to work and all. She rearrange her skirt and made her way to his office. She greeted the secretary before his office and the lady urged her in with her head. Aspen smiled and entered. Floyd was busy with other files. She took in his serious and focused posture. He was the same even after these years. His eyes seemed slightly narrowed and his brows twitched as if what he was reading was confusing. Then he seemed to notice that someone had entered his office. He lifted his eyes to look at her and she clea
33 1587"Hey, babies." Aspen screamed as she got out of the cab and ran towards her kids who turned around to see their mother. Cathy and Chase hopped joyfully as they saw their mother who was a grinning wreck."Mommy!!!" They all yelled and ran towards her and she pulled them in a huge motherly hug. "My kids." She cooed, kissing them on their head and laughing."I miss you little angels like crazy." She said again and they giggled."Mommy, we missed you too." They said and grinned and she laughed even more.She turned to Sheba. "Thank you so much. I don't know what I would have done without you." she said with a grateful smile. Sheba shook her head and Aspen ivked some of the bags and they followed her to her apartment ."I already prepared their room and yours." She said as she opened the door. They all stepped in and Chase shrieked."This place is small and pretty." He said and she turns to her kid."You like it, huh?" She asked and he nodded his head as he rushed forward to her t
It was the next day and Aspen sat before the files that Floyd had packed to give her. He must be happy that he gave her. She let out a scoff at the thought. Her kids were busy playing while Sheba had gone to collect the rest of their luggage. She was finally at peace but also under pressure of having to take care of the kids. Her head was not helping at all with the files. She could hardly focus and she let out an annoyed breath and stood up from the desk. Just as she was about to tell the kids to be careful, her doorbell rang and a wave of fear slammed into her in full. Why was she scared? It could be Sheba that was at the door. She shook her head and went to open the door. Her eyes widened in surprise at the person that stood before her.Anna raised her brows. "Think you could get rid of me easily?" She asked and Aspen chuckled."No, I just thought you were busy. I mean... What about you come in." She said and Anna rolled her eyes."Never knew you invite people inside your house,
Anna returned to meet Aspen and she noticed Anna looking around. She followed her gaze but furrowed her brows when she did not see anyone."What are you looking?" she asked her. Anna faced her with a confused look. She had caught her looking."Hmm... Nothing. Can we leave now? I have to resume soon." She said and Aspen nodded her head."The kids are even tired. They also want to leave and not to talk about the fact that I still have some work to do." She said and summoned her kids. They left not long after and Anna bade them goodbye as they entered different cabs."Mommy, your friend is nice." Cora said and Aspen smiled at her."I am happy to know that you like her." she said and Cora smiled sheepishly.They soon got back home and Sheba had already cooked some meal for them.Aspen headed to her room and started working on the files. Her head had cleared already all thanks to the fun she had at the park. She went through them taking in the information. Just as she went through them, s
**Next Day** Aspen hurriedly wore the kids' dress for them and put on the sandals for them."Mommy, how do I look?" Cathy asked as she stared at herself in the mirror. Aspen glanced up to see her posing before the mirror and the thought that Cathy would be an internet type of lady worried her a bit."Beautiful as always." she said and Cathy giggled. Aspen shook her head and turned the rest of them."Are you ready?" She asked them. She had made sure that they are before wearing their clothes and they nodded their heads before stepping out of the room. She turned to Sheba and told her to do some things before she helped the kids out and called an Uber to come and pick her and the kids.The cab soon came and she let them inside. They soon got to their school and Aspen knew she was running late already. She internally cursed and helped them to the class. She bade them goodbye and left for her work. She quickly packed the files together and as soon as they got to her work place. She paid
Aspen gulped down the water and Floyd stood up immediately. He has been watching her eat since he finished before her and his food was brought before hers so her waited for her.As they stepped out of the restaurant, Aspen let out a deep sigh. She was full enough to work for more hours."Thank you." She mumbled to him and he did like he did not hear her by glancing around. She scoffed."Thank you." She said, this time louder than before. He faced her and gave a brief smile."It is not worth mentioning. Since you said you can't afford the food and you don't want my money, I decided to take it out of your salary so don't feel indebted to me." He said and went to the car. She stood there with a shocked expression. He called out for her but then his phone rang and his brows squeezed together at the Caller ID. He was needed.He contemplated ignoring the person and going back to teasing Aspen but then he called her and she snapped out of her haze and started walking towards him. He brought
He was angry. Very angry. He dropped the phone that he was holding. What sort of words were those that he just heard? He needed to pay up what money? Money he knows nothing about. He paced to and fro in his house office. Who did this? He knew he did not owe anyone. He needs to go back to his office and that too now. He pulled his jacket and exited the house. His mother called after him but he ignored her. The driver hurried in and Floyd stepped into the car."The company." he ordered in a cold voice. His eyes hard on the message before him. She was doing this. How dare she do this? The driver ignited the car's engine and drove straight to his company. As soon as they got there, he stepped out and made his way to his office where he knew she would be. The workers all scrambled around and began whispering around. He headed towards the elevator which took no minute before it rang out and the door slid open. Then he got to the entrance of the door. His eyes glared daggers at his 'useless

.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
