“Don’t talk too loud, Angel might hear our conversation and I don’t want her to hear that her aunt is a bad woman without any principles. “Caroline whispered on her ears to make her lower her voice.“What should we do with her?” Monica asked.“Nothing for now. Even Wesley doesn’t believe that Paula tried to kill me, just imagine what other people will say?” I have lived a life of fear in the past but not anymore. I will let her do as she pleases but, in the future, she will be bound to make some mistakes. “Caroline said coldly.“Let us burn her house down. Then we will drive her out of North city. What do you think?” Monica suggested.“Okay, just be my friend and don’t give me bad ideas. The fact that Paula is rotten doesn’t mean that I have to become like her ““Grow up, girl. When are you ever going to stand up for yourself? Do you like being bullied by those two-faced idiots. If you don’t I will take matters into my own hands.” She threatened.“Monica, don’t be a spoiled brat. Do w
Wesley looked cold, she couldn’t tell what was bothering him.“How are you feeling? I am so sorry that I disappeared on you but there has been something bothering me “he said as he looked at her with concern “I came back this morning and I had to see you “he added.“Cut to the chase, Wesley, what do you want?” Caroline became rude. He definitely knew that he wanted something from her and her illness was the least of his concerns. He hadn’t even bothered to call all these days after all.“The funds that you pulled from company is causing me a lot of problems. We are almost going bankrupt. I am sorry I couldn’t come to see you because I went to the South city to try and sort issues with the employees.”“And ….” Caroline asked lazily.“The workers went on strike and they don’t want to listen to me. As we speak, the only project that is running in Storm Corporation is the South end Project which you are responsible. I have been searching for the CEO of Privet corporation but I couldn’t ge
“How can I fucking piss off my biggest investor, Caroline? I will never forgive you for taking my business away and destroying all my life work. ““Okay…the meeting is over. Go and cry over the end of your business empire. It doesn’t concern me. I simply saw a business opportunity and I took it. “Caroline said as she opened her computer and started doing her work.“You heard her clearly. What are you still waiting for?” Jack entered inside the office with a cup of coffee on his hands “Darling, I brought you something to replenish your energy “the man said and then kissed her cheeks.“Thanks, I appreciate, darling” she replied with a warm smile on her face.“ I am so proud of you for dealing with your enemies . But you didn’t need to do it on your own. You could have asked me “Jack said as he sat down on the visitor chair completely ignoring a certain person who was in the office.“Wesley, I hope that you wouldn’t mind leaving us alone. We request for some alone time as couples. Than
“You did what? Anyway, you just made my day. How could I not celebrate with you, sweetie? You don’t know how our stock prices have been going up after the talk show. This time round, negativity worked on my favor and I don’t know whether to be happy or sad “Caroline said.“Yeah …you can thank me later after we have visited the spa.” Monica said as she pulled Angel into her arms. She had been asleep on her bed and just woke up to find them deep in talks.“Aunt Monica, your house is very beautiful. Can my mother and I come here more often? I like the pink color in your bedroom “Monica lived in one of the green Hills apartments. The apartment was known to be luxurious and expensive but she could afford it. She was earning good money working at Camo Corporation. She just moved recently because it was near Morgan’s mansion. It was easy for her to visit Caroline and vice versa.“You do? I love you darling. I have a spare bedroom for you and I will make sure to decorate it with pink color j
“Boss, why are you calling? I thought that you didn’t want to see me?” Luke asked impatiently.“Why are you unbearable sometimes? when have I ever said that I never wanted to see you? Anyway, I need a favor from you and quit being a pain in my ass.”“Damn fucking bastard. always taking advantage of me. He just ignored me outside his hotel room and now that he needed me, he had no shame calling. why am I even still working for this guy?” he thought silently.“Listen, I need you to get me all the documents to my stuffs, ASAP. I want to give them to Paula so that she can dispose off them. Their value is high right now and I think that I will gain greatly from selling them. She says that she can help me get back my company and I can’t pass on this opportunity.”Since when was this bastard relying on a corn woman to make his decisions. Did he just hit his head on a rock? However, something caught his attention and he understood what Wesley was trying to do. He has always been a cunning m
It didn’t matter, Wesley was a fighter and he had hopes in him.Whatever Wesley will need from now onwards, he will provide. He won’t be a pain in his ass like he had just done a while ago. Perhaps, he shouldn’t have gotten angry to the extent of leaving him alone in that vulnerable state. What was wrong with him? He regretted it so much. In a hurry, he followed the ambulance to the hospital. “Wesley again……. I must take a picture. This will earn me a lot of views “Isabel, the reporter who was Monica’s acquaintance started taking pictures and posting them online.As expected, she was the first one to get the news to the public.It didn’t take long before her account became full with comments and get well soon messages. She then picked up his phone and called Monica.“Hey…..what is up? ” Monica said after picking up the phone.“Hi girl, your friend’s ex has been involved in a serious car accident. He has been rushed to the hospital but I still don’t have reliable information to rep
Caroline was dumbfounded. Things weren’t making any sense to her at all. Wesley never had any family. Wesley had no idea who his biological family was because he was abandoned at the age of five and was raised by his mother’s friend who told him that he made a promise that she will never reveal his background.Wesley tried to find his family but gave up. He thought that instead of focusing on something that was impossible, he placed all his energy in to starting his company. He was a bright student and he was able to bring it from the ground to the brand that was well known and appreciated.For him, the company was his entire life.So, Caroline didn’t understand where the hell his family came from? It has taken them all these years to come for him? why now when he was involved in a terrible road accident? she couldn’t get it why a mother would choose abandon his very own son.She looked around and mumbled to herself “where the fucking hell was Luke? “He was the only one who could exp
It seems that she was right, Isabela had gone through the same experience as her. When Monica confided in me, I just had to teach Wesley a lesson. I am sorry for not consulting you, I knew that you might not have accepted for me to do it being that a woman always has a certain attachment to her ex.“It is okay. It is already in the past. What worries me is that I can’t even see him. I need answers because I know that my daughter is waiting for her father . Do you have connections in this hospital so that you can help me see him?” Caroline asked desperately. She had already understood that no matter who she was, she will not be able to convince the staff members to let her see Wesley. Whoever his family were, they were also powerful and she didn’t have the time to find out who they are.“I know a doctor. We went to the same collage and we were friends . Wait for me here, I will go and have a talk with him “Isabel said as she stood up and disappeared.Caroline felt relieved.A while l
This town was his life, it shaped him to who he was today and stepping his foot on its soil felt like home. In this town, he got a second chance at life when no one wanted him. He will always hold it dear to his heart.“We are here “Wesley announced as he parked the car in front of the Owen’s mansion.Other luxurious cars were already parked, arranged in a neat line— having different colors, shape and make. With no doubt, it signaled that the event was for only the upper elites.Caroline climbed down the car, she didn’t even wait for Wesley to open her door. For her, she felt that every second that she waited meant that her grandmother will make the worst decision of her life.She had to save her somehow. She was her last hope or the Owen’s family heritage will be turned to dust never to be remembered.Inside the mansion, in a secluded corner, stood Sophia, Paula and Jessica. Jessica’s eyes scanned through the crowd, sharp like a hawk, nervousness edged behind her calm façade. T
He was learning the beauty of having a family. Waking up in Caroline’s arms each and every single moment was breathtaking. Not that, he had forgotten about Angel. She was another blessing in his life. He learned to be patient in dealing with a demanding and clinging cute little girl.He understood that he had been away for almost 6 years and the girl was unintentionally making him pay for all those years that he left her neglected. He would take her to school and the sparkle in her eyes as she waved her goodbyes would not leave his mind.It was simply the best moment of his life, a break from the tedious and annoying contracts that he had to deal with in his everyday life. Angel was a mirror image of her mother, sweet, sensible and intelligent. Of course…. she took some minor characters from him but he wouldn’t mind. she was his to keep. No one else. One day, he will tell her just how much she meant to him. Hopefully, very soon, he’ll get the chance to show her what they have be
“I am okay, just a little exhausted. Thank you for saving him. Had we arrived even a second late, we would be talking about something else. “She said with a deep sense of affection, staring warmly on his incomparable handsome face.He cupped her face breathing in the sweet scent emanating from her body. It always made him calm down.“I am sorry, I couldn’t deal with Agnes and Heather. I had no time, Jack was in a bad state. “Wesley apologized, a grim expression evident on his face.“Don’t worry, the girls have dealt with them “Caroline muttered nonchalantly. Wesley’s eyes darkened as he pulled slightly away from her body, scanning her face with scrutiny.“Did you get involved? “he asked.“No…Monica and Isabel taught them a lesson and they are sleeping like wild dogs in the bush “She smiled mischievously as Wesley hugged her again on his sturdy and firm chest. “Let us go home. I am sure that Monica will give us news of his condition as soon as the doctors have worked on him. I am p
It happened as fast as lightning. No one could have predicted it.When the others saw the scene, they all knelt down and bowed their heads.” Hand cuff yourselves and get the fuck out of my face. Make sure that you take yourselves to the police or I will hunt you down and kill you myself. “Wesley commanded, direct and straight to the point. “We understand “The men said in unison, a beard of sweat evident on their foreheads. No one liked to be threatened with death. Agnes and Heather looked at Wesley with frightened expression, they were puzzled on what business he had to come and rescue Jack.“We didn’t do anything to him. We have no idea who sent the thugs. “Agnes said as they slowly exited the ware house, not knowing that there were people waiting for them outside.They had calculated their move to precision.Jack thought that he was hallucinating. The last person that he had expected to come to his aid was Wesley. He didn’t even know that he was in the North city. All that he d
Jack smiled disgustedly “so, it was your plan all along? You planted Heather in my life so that you two can take Morgan and Baron’s wealth. “His eye was already blood shot.“Bravo…. you have finally figured it out. I have never loved you. You disgust me so much, you have no idea. Letting you touch me was the worst experience of my life. So, I am going to earn myself good money from you when you are rotting in the ground. I promise you that you are not getting out of here alive. “Heather said while tracing her gun on his face.He spat on her face, earning himself a punch. “Killing you is the right thing to do , Heather has been following the plan well, but what about you? You are stupid and an ingrate. All that I wanted was for you to forget about Caroline so that we can have her company for ourselves. Was that too much to ask? what does she have that you worship the ground that she walks on? “Agnes asked irritably, eyes blazing with fire.“Mother ….” Jack called, feeling a pang of
“No…you are pregnant. I don’t want anything to happen to you and our baby. You and our baby are the most important thing to me right now. Trust me, I will bring Jack home even if I want to shoot him on the head. “Wesley stated emotionlessly.Caroline was stressed as she begged “I can’t sit back. I am sure that whatever is happening to him is connected to me and I can’t leave him alone. I just want to make sure that he is okay. I promise that I will stay safe “she said with unshed tears on her eyes.It broke Wesley’s heart to see her break down like that. Jack might have hurt her but it seems that old friends are had to replace no matter the situation.Just at that time Monica and Isabel walked in. Caroline had called them to inform them that Jack had been kidnapped.Monica was crying like a child. Caroline was even startled. Monica never shed a tear unless it was something serious.Monica hugged Caroline tight as she continued to weep emotionally. She couldn’t imagine anything h
Fuming with furry, Heather suggested” Let us kidnap him and torture him until he tells us the password. I cannot let that bitch win. Everything that she has will be mine. I don’t care if we have to sacrifice this idiot.The maid looked terrified. She didn’t enter in to this agreement for someone to die. She trembled as she spoke “Please …you can do to him anything. There is no need to kill him. I am not a murderer …...I can’t be a part of this. “She ‘d been living with Jack. He was odd but a good man who was only fighting his demon and dealing with evil people. He had treated him well and she never meant to harm him“Well…. It is too late, fool. You better keep this big mouth of yours shut if you don’t want to end up five feet deep under like him. Get lost.” Heather shouted hysterically as she pointed to the door. The maid quickly disappeared. “Let us do it “Agnes replied with an emotionless face.Awhile later, Jack woke up with a splitting headache. He still wasn’t sure where he w
Heather’s phone was on a loud speaker as she turned to look at the other lady. The other lady was none other than Agnes, Jack’s adopted mother. “What is that little brat planning to do?” Agnes asked with displeasure.Heather sneered “He plans to give Caroline everything back. Thank God, I am one step ahead of him. Lately, he has been acting weird so I planted a spy in our house to watch his every move. Uh…. the guy is so fucking clueless. ““After all the trouble that I have gone through to secure Morgan properties, I can’t let him give it back. we need to figure out how we are going to get our hands on those document ASAP so that we can make transfer to our own names. “Heather was thoughtful for a moment.“Jack is so easy to manipulate. As long as he thinks that there is just little love left from me, he will listen. All he ever yearned for is stupid love and attention. I will talk to him “Agnes offered.“No….No……No…. Jack has changed within these few weeks. He seems like a differe
Caro…. When are you ever going to forgive me?Caroline turned on the other side and covered her head, feeling guilt for lying to him. She was no longer interested in talking to Wesley. This conversation was not going to continue.” Goodnight, Wesley.” She whispered.“Goodnight …” Wesley mumbled and tried to catch some sleep but he couldn’t. His mind was all over the place as he tried to connect things. It wasn’t until 3 PM in the morning that he managed to fall asleep.At the break of dawn, Caroline woke up and found that the space next to hers was empty. Immediately, she started panicking. Wesley has never stayed. Perhaps, this time round, he really got angry and sneaked out while she was asleep. What the hell did she even expect from him? She stood up hurriedly and started calling him just in case he was still around.” Wesley ……Wesley……”She was rushing down stairs when she bumped in to hard body. She screamed in panic before realizing that it was Wesley and he was fucking laughing
