Struck with shock, Caroline just stood there watching his cold eyes as he took everything away from her life.No…. the man on the podium was not Jack. He was kind and gentle not a back stabbing idiot that she was seeing in front.What did she ever do to him?She wanted to say something but her mouth felt heavy. All that she heard was voices asking her questions that she had no idea how to answer. She felt pressured. Her physical strength gave way and at that moment, she knew that she was falling down on the floor in front of all the company associates.“I have got you. Don’t be afraid. You will be fine” the voice said as he held her on his chest possessively.Those were the last words that she heard and then everything became black. she was weak. she had failed to protect her father’s legacy. The only one thing that she had promised him on his death bed that she will protect with her life was gone now.“Oh...my God, Caroline. What has just happened? “Monica was startled only to rea
“I am sorry to say but we are in a professional relationship. I have never considered him to be anything more because I know that he is a married man. “Heather replied.“I beg to differ but I find that hard to believe given the way you are holding on to his arms. Even a blind man can see that you two are sleeping together. Jack, how does it feel to betray your wife with her lookalike? “Isabel wouldn’t stop until she put those two in their places.“I am sorry but this interview should be about business because this is a celebration ceremony for the company. Making baseless accusations to destroy the company image seem to me like you have been sent by our competitor. “Heather answered with a smile on her face. Isabel turned the mic on Heather’s face and then stated “Dear viewers, I know that you are eager to hear something from the woman herself. Miss Heather, can you confirm that you are the mistress?”“Of course not. I am a highly respectable woman and I know my boundaries. Jack is
“Damn fucking idiot “Monica cursed loudly and left the hospital premises. “Wesley, we are not done here. I am coming back to deal with you. You better not try anything stupid on my friend. “She added powerlessly.Now that he was with Caroline, he started to relax a bit. He had instructed Luke to cancel all his appointments because he planned to take care of Caroline the whole of the night. Caroline was more precious to him than any other meetings or business deals.He caressed her face and kissed her slightly on the cheeks “As long as l am here, no one is ever going to hurt you again. But why are you so unlucky? why are all of us who are associated with you keeps on betraying you? “He asked holding her hands.Finally, he removed his coat and laid beside Caroline. He lifted her body and held her on his chest. Wesley didn’t care whether they were in the hospital or whether the doctor might come in any time and scold him.All that he wanted was for Caroline to feel his support even when
Caroline’s face became pale “were you spying on me? Just when I thought that you are beginning to seem like a reasonable person, you go and do this to me? You two have disappointed me. I would have appreciated it if you would have just told me the truth.”“I did it in good faith because I never trusted Jack from the day your father was killed. He has been behaving oddly for a person whose wife has faced two major tragedies. If I were in his place, I would have taken a bullet for you but instead he ran away leaving you alone. Don’t you think that is odd?” Wesley asked.“And I think that the two-shooting incidence are related. I have been investigating it secretly and the ballistic report show that the same type of guns was used. So, it must be the same person responsible for the two shooting. May be, he or she hired he same people. “Zoe explained.“I am sorry to say this but why would someone assassinate your father and then immediately Jack schemes to takes his company? I might not h
Wesley has been with her the whole night. Not even her very own husband cared to come and ask about her health. She wanted to snap at him but she just couldn’t forget that he came through for her over and over again.Even if he doesn’t want to admit it, she knows that he was the one who saved her on the day that she was about to be killed in the forest. she can never forget his familiar scent and voice“It is nice for you to support me but this is my problem. If you don’t mind, I would like to handle it on my own. You have already wasted enough of your time taking care of me when you really didn’t have to” she said as Monica helped her pack her bagsIt was just enough for him that she was no longer looking at him with hate.“Alright …I will leave you to it then but remember that if you have any problem, call me. I will just be a phone call away “he kissed her cheeks and then hurriedly left the hospital.A while later, she had been discharged and she headed straight away to the mansi
“But you said that you will wait for me and I was going to keep my word, Jack. A person cannot control how her heart feels or who her heart wants but I was willing to change that because I wanted a stable life for my child. It is a shame that you didn’t believe in me and took me as your enemy when I knew nothing of what my father did to you. ““My God …you could have approached me and we would have worked out this together, Jack. What went wrong?”“Don’t you dare pretend with me. Everything went wrong the moment you appeared back in to my life. I am tired of giving love that will never be reciprocated.” he snapped.“I loved you in my own way but what hurts me the most is that you have brought an innocent child in to this mess. Jack, I trusted you with her. why did you do this to me?”“I really love the kid and she honestly have nothing to do with this but I couldn’t accept that I didn’t have you by myside. Caroline, we have been married for a couple of months now and you haven’t tri
“Uncle Jack…you promised me that you won’t hurt my Mommy. I regret ever calling you my second dad. Don’t ever come near me or my Mommy again. You don’t deserve her. “Angel said as she held on to her mother’s hands tight.“Angel, sweetie. I have nothing against you. I swear that I have always loved you and I would have loved for us to get to know each other more. Please, don’t look at me like that. If you don’t believe me, you can still stay back with me. I will spoil you so much” Jack honestly liked Angel“I will never leave my mommy’s side. she is the only one who has ever loved me not you. If you did love me then you wouldn’t have done what you did. The moment that you hurt my mommy, you did the same to me. Good bye, my mother and I will just be fine. See you never. “Angel stated and then turned to her mother “let us go, I don’t want to stay in this house anymore. I don’t like this man, he is mean. ““Goodbye, Jack” Caroline said one last time.As Caroline hurried outside the door,
Jack started thinking seriously about the conversation that she just had with Caroline. There was someone trying to twist the situation and make him look like he was the murderer. Was there someone who hated the Morgan family?His eyes turned dark immediately as he asked coldly “Who could be behind Dismas’s death?”A thought came in to his head. Hurriedly, he took his coat and went outside only to see Caroline getting away in Wesley’s car. How conveniently for her? She couldn’t even wait for the dust to settle on their divorce before running back to Wesley .However, now he had an important issue to talk about with his mother. She was the one who convinced him that he should take his revenge on Dismas. Was she the one responsible for that man’s death? What he knew was that Agnes hated Dismas with passion.“Hello Son. You remembered me?” Agnes greeted as soon as Jack made his way into her house.” she hadn’t seen him for quite some time and she was eager for him to tell her what has
“The only task that I gave you was to defeat that woman. why are you failing? Are you even a man? You were supposed to crash her and take over everything that she owns. Isn’t that what we agreed will be you revenge on her taking your mother away. Was that the reason why you needed to take revenge on Dismas for killing your mother?” Agnes asked furiously.“Mother, what is wrong with you? I don’t get it, I am doing what I can but Caroline is proving to be more difficult than I had expected. Please, don’t leave me now, I need you more than I have ever needed you before, okay “tears wetted his eyes.It was the same scenario. He had to beg for his father’s love before and he never cared, now it was his mother’s turn.“Just give me more time. The fact that she has managed to get back the Morgan corporation doesn’t mean that she has won. I still have the biggest investors in town and I don’t think that she will ever make a match to me.” Jack pleaded.Agnes sneered.“Even that useless Heath
“Do you really have to ask? You are the most stubborn woman that I have ever come across. Off…course, I love you. Just give me the chance and I will show you the world. All that I am waiting is for you to tell me the words. “Wesley said as he placed a kiss on her cheeks.“Really …...Stop joking around. People who are in love just don’t go around marrying other people. Please, I don’t need this from you. I think that we should keep our distance from each other. You are a married man now “Caroline added“Fine ……if that is what you want then you can leave. I won’t force you anymore.” Wesley suddenly got angry and asked her to leave.She was confused because she didn’t think that what she said was wrong.“What! Are you going to send me away like that?” she asked“Do you want to stay? “He answered back with a question and Caroline just looked at him while speechless.“Please take the deed from the table. Make sure that you move in to the offices as soon as possible or I will destroy the
In the dark corner there was a man. At the first sight, she thought that she had seen him before. In the dimly lit room, his physique and figure was somehow familiar. Slowly, they walked towards the person in the dark and the man placed the document that she had signed on the table.“Ma’am, I will leave the two of you to talk “he said and turned to leave. Caroline held her breath. She didn’t dare to breathe heavily because then the man will realize how nervous she was. She needed this to go on smoothy. “Hello……I am here to talk about ……” she didn’t finish her sentence before she was pulled in to a warm embrace “You are here to talk about the Morgan building. “The man finished for her as he nibbled on her ears. No…. she couldn’t have been mistaken. This was Wesley’s voice that she was hearing. His cologne was all over her nose. The first thing that ran in to her head was why he was the man in the room. Did she enter the wrong room or was Wesley playing another tasteless trick on
“Hey …. Megan, Are the papers ready?” she asked as she smiled at the woman.“I already placed them on your table, Boss. Anyway, do you need me to come with you to the banquet? “She asked.“No…...No…...No….. I will be fine. I don’t want you to waste time escorting me out. Instead, I want all of you to concentrate on making the W.P Corporation project a success. I will manage on my own “Caroline said but deep inside, she had a feeling that something unexpectedly will happen.She just couldn’t place her finger on what it was.“Alright ……I will leave you for now. “she said and Caroline was left alone in the office.At exactly 3.00 PM in the evening, she made her grand entrance. People recognized her and this time round, they greeted her with smiles on their faces. She knew that they have all heard that she won the project and they all wanted to be her friend .“Hello…. “Someone greeted and she turned her head to see Jacob. “You are already here. come, I need to tell you something very i
“Angel ……come back here. Please don’t wonder around alone. something bad might happen to you. May be, your dad has been kidnapped.” Caroline warned feeling confused.“I am sorry mommy, but this is important “Angel insisted as she made her way towards the wash rooms.Caroline had no option but to follow Angel. They both headed towards the washroom area and found the door wide open. But there was no one inside as Angel searched every corner of the room with tears in her eyes.“Daddy…. “Angel called but her voice only vibrated back. “Where are you? You promised to spoil us. why can’t you keep your promise only for today …? please…...”“Baby, I think that he has left but I know that he didn’t mean to. Let us go back home. Someone might spot us here in the men’s washroom.” Caroline said and then Angel stepped on something. When they both looked at the phone, it was Wesley’s.Slowly, Caroline picked it up. It was still unlocked so she couldn’t resist the temptation to see what was written
“Why would I come with you? I am still busy and I am not in the best mood for your bullshit.” Wesley dismissed her just like that already feeling impatient. Just looking at her face gave him a headache.He wondered what will happen once the two of them were actually married and living together. It will be a disaster.Winnie couldn’t have chosen the best time to torment him.She smiled cheekily before muttering. “I have a present for you.”“I am not interested. Please can you just let me go? “Wesley said but Winnie didn’t give up. This time round, he had to be down to earth because his behavior depends on the life of his family. He didn’t need to involve them in his complicated family wrangles.“No…. you will really …...really like the gift that I have specially prepared for you. You should check it out, okay. “She said and then pulled out her phone. she played a video footage and then gave it to Wesley to watch.On top of the tall building opposite the restaurant, there was a man in b
“Whoever you are…I will always love you as my father. Just try being nice to us and everything will be fine. I already understand that you are a business man and it is only normal for you to go on trips. I am so proud of you. I couldn’t wish for any other dad than you. “Angel said with understanding as Wesley looked at her adorably.“Your words are beautiful. I will keep them in mind.”Wesley picked up his phone to call Luke. He made the first call only to be told that the number was out of service.“Damn fucking bastard. He blocked me. “He cursed as he looked at Caroline. Angel was distracted with her cartoon so he didn’t need to worry about her hearing their conversation.“Tell me again. who was that you said was loyal? I swear this time round, I have had it with him up to my throat. ““Calm down Wesley. Luke has always been careless. May be, his phone was stolen. “Caroline said in order to calm him down.“Yeah ……. I think that you are right. He is a very careless idiot but I promis
“I need her to shut up….”“I have got this, boss. With pleasure. “Luke laughed cheekily as Heather screamed in terror. “No…. you can’t do that to me. I can’t remain with four fingers, how will people look at me? Wesley …. Please I didn’t touch even a single hair on Angel ‘s head. You have got to show me some mercy here. If you do, I will be loyal to you forever.”“Uh…. loyal…Have you ever been loyal to anyone? Not even your own mother could gain your loyalty.” Wesley suddenly said and Heather was startled. She was sure that she buried all the information about her past. Nobody was supposed to know. How the hell did Wesley find out?“Yes …. I know everything. Cross me again and you won’t even remember where the rest of your fingers had gone to.”The moment that followed, a piercing scream filled the office but Wesley only looked at the woman with contempt. Nothing in this world would make him show her mercy.In the end she fainted again and was hurriedly taken away.At around 6. AM in
“Don’t be a dick. She might have escaped this time round but she won’t be lucky next time because she will pay for almost blinding me with a pepper spray. That little she devil was more cunning than I had predicted. ““So, she actually listened to my advice? Clever girl.” Jack was actually celebrating silently.They were busy chatting without even realizing that there were other people in the office. Wesley was sitting with his back on them. When he felt that he has heard enough of their little chat, he turned around and greeted them.“Hello …friends. What a happy reunion? ““Wesley …. did you break in to my office? what do you want and how dare you kidnap me?” Jack asked while he looked at the man sitting on his chair with mixed reactions. Jack always knew that Wesley was deadlier than he was and he was just trying to figure out how he was going to get out of this trouble, courtesy of Heather.Why can’t she ever listen to him?“I am giving you 10 seconds to decide which one you wa
