Temisa immediately bends and walks back to her car as she feels her heart throbbing loudly in her chest. She bends lower, hiding from them as they stand facing her car and discussing, and she doesn't want to meet any of their gazes, nor raise her head up to them.As she wants to enter her car, just then, she hears her father's voice calling her, making her stiffen."Temisa!" Mr. John Patrick calls, and Temisa immediately swallows and stands upright as she sees her father calling her and also walking up to meet the CEO and his father, standing with the man she actually had a one-night stand with, and another elderly man."Good evening, boss," Mr. John greets Mr. Taiye, standing with Liam and Mr. Tunji, as he knows Mr. Tunji too, due to his numerous visits to their company, and another young man."Mr. John.. How was your day today in the office?" Mr. Taiye asks as he turns to face Mr. John, who is dressed in a black suit too."Fine, sir. Liam, how was your day today?" Mr. John asks Liam
Anita arrives home, and gratefully, she doesn't meet anyone else at home. She unlocks their house gate and walks in as she goes into the house.She opens her room door and pushes it, and she drops her handbag on her bed and sits, crying.She sniffs and remembers she didn't even take the envelope along with her. She cannot work for Alfred as she doesn't like how Alfred's eyes rake her body, and Liam, she doubts he will be bothered about her not coming to his company again.His father clearly warned her that he doesn't want to see her around his son again, and she stares around her room, knowing that she cannot stay back as her mother will ask her questions as to why she stopped working with the Benson, and she fears they will trace her and come to her family's house to find her.She feels Liam will come searching for her. The way he kissed her wasn't like he was lusting after her. She feels his father lied about Liam not acknowledging his feelings for her, and she remembers he had told
Mrs. Bianca lets go of Temisa, standing in her room, and she questions."Tell me the truth, Temisa. Is what your father is saying true? You don't need to cry for that stupid man who doesn't even want to marry you. Tell me about Alfred. Does he like you? How did you end up in his bed?""Mother..." Temisa loses the words to speak, and she stares at her mother in shock, wanting to leave her mother's room."Don't walk out on me, Temisa. I'm still talking to you.""Mom.. I don't know what happened.. I cannot explain it," Temisa sobs."What do you mean you don't know? Didn't he sleep with you, yes or no?""He did, mother. I was foolish to have fallen so cheap for him," Temisa cries as she clutches her head and shakes it.She loves Liam, but she really fell so cheap for Alfred, and now, it's all complicated, and she knows the marriage is already canceled. Good thing the marriage hasn't been announced."Don't say that. Isn't it Alfred that owns the Blues hotels and companies? I used to hear o
Anita wakes up by 4 am, seeing it's the perfect time to start preparing for her travel. She rushes into her bathroom and starts taking her bath, and by 5:30 am, she's already done, dressing up in her blue vest and knee-length black skirt.She doesn't want her mother to suspect that she's no longer working for the Benson Group, so she dresses up like she's going to work.She walks to her room mirror and combs her long blonde hair, packing it into a bun, and she applies a little lip gloss on her thin red lips.She wears her earrings and finally walks to her bed, carrying her phone and debit card, ensuring all her things are intact. She steps out and meets her mother in the corridor."Anita, this one you're up this early, seems you got a warning yesterday for arriving late?""Good morning, mom. It's already 6 am, and work resumes by 7 am for all staff, and 8 am for clients to be attended to.""You're right, but wait, let me quickly make your tea, and I want to discuss something with you.
Liam is quiet, and his fist tightens as he never knew about the hidden cameras, meaning those silly security men actually watched him making love to Anita."Liam. No wonder you were happy that Friday. But why would you send her away and allow us to go visit the Patricks? You should have told me, and we would have gone to see her family instead," Mrs. Juliet blames her husband."No!" Mr. Taiye stands up."Liam had told me, severally, he doesn't like his secretary. I asked him before discussing with Mr. Tunji about her transfer, and Liam clearly denied ever loving her nor liking her. He's here, you can ask him. And son, I will only give you today's grace. Tomorrow, you are to go to the company as you already signed your position. Don't force me to take a drastic decision on you.""You won't do that, honey!" Mrs. Juliet interferes."Then warn your son!" Mr. Taiye warns and walks out angrily, handing over his suit to Silas, who escorts him to his black Mercedes-Benz parked in the Jacksons
"No! You're lying to me. Anita left home this morning. I prepared her tea, and she wore this exact blue top you're wearing. I saw her, and she left for work. Where's my daughter?" Mrs. Tonia screams and holds Temisa, who stares at her helplessly, and just then, Liam approaches them, and Flora immediately recognizes the handsome tall man standing in front of them."Mom, that's her boss I told you about," Flora points to Liam, who approaches and stares from Mrs. Tonia to Temisa, and he slightly bows to greet Mrs. Tonia in a respectful manner."Good evening, ma."Mrs. Tonia feels her breath seize, with the type of aura surrounding the handsome man as their outside's bright bulbs are fully on, making her see him clearly."Yes, good evening. What do you want, and how can we help you?" Mrs. Tonia completely ignores Temisa as she stares at the handsome dark man in front of her.He looks well-mannered and too handsome with his short beard, and Liam clears his throat and speaks to her."Is Ani
Anita arrives at her maternal home in the evening. She heard before that her father also built and owned a house in the same village as her mother, but she doesn't know his house and doesn't want to go there either,.She knows someone might recognize her there, or the bank people might come there to claim it as part of their payment. Worst of all, her father's brothers, who have been disturbing her father to marry another wife, might spot her there, and she doesn't have the keys with her either.She drops down from the bike carefully in front of her late grandfather's house and pays the bike rider his fees, then drags her box along with her towards the house.The house looks old and worn out, and she knows the family has abandoned it. Her mother's brother is rich, and she wonders why he doesn't renovate the village house either.She walks to the front of the house, drops her box, and stares at the door, seeing that it is locked."Oh, where will I get the keys now to unlock it?" Anita
Taking off her clothes and inner wear, Anita walks into the bathroom to take a quick bath. She thinks of her mother, who had told her that she should arrive on time and take her to the hospital to flush her womb, and she sighs. Also, she thinks of her sisters and knows they will be seriously worried about her or searching for her, and she frowns. Anita doesn't want to contact her family when she switched off her phone. Now, she's feeling the urge to switch it on and contact them, to tell them that she's alright and not coming back home. But she remembers she already removed her SIM card and bought a new one, which she placed in her phone when she arrived at the village square, and saw a new SIM card seller. Anita thinks it's best her family continue with their lives, as she doesn't want to add to the existing problem. She misses them and knows they will too, but she cannot face Temisa, let alone Liam and Alfred's disturbances. She remembers her affairs with Liam - how he kiss
