“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
The worst thing was that she couldn’t even call anyone for help because she was stupid enough to leave her phone in her car.She screamed but no one could hear her voice. She could feel the car going in circles until she started feeling dizzy . This time round Paula have succeeded in killing her. There was no hope for her ever coming out of this alive. No one knew where she was. She had refused to pick up Jack’s phone calls and she wasn’t even sure if he would notice that she was missing. Everything was against her like always.At long last the car stopped after driving for like 2 or 3 hours. She was quickly released from the boot and she could finally breath some fresh air. The place was chilly and windy. It felt like they were in a forested area. The perfect place to murder someone without being noticed.The blind fold was removed from her head but still she couldn’t see the faces of the people who have abducted her well. All that she saw was a big butterfly tattoo on the exposed
“Gosh…...where do we start? I have completely no idea where she might have gone. I didn’t even think about asking her” Monica started panicking immediately. She was angry because Caroline didn’t show up for their date that she forgot to watch out for her safety.“I will call her right away and ask. She mustn’t have gone too far.” she added.When she dialed her number, she was unavailable. Now they had no idea on how to find out where she was and with whom. The most important question here was if at all she was going to meet Wesley.“Its’s okay. Let us not panic, it will be of no use to us or Caroline. First, let us watch the audio recording and try to make sense of what Caro is trying to tell us. She must have been suspicious for her to make this recording. At least, she is not all that dumb.” Isabel commented.“You are right …why am I this foolish? I didn’t even think about watching the audio recording. Alright, let us watch it together “she replied.In a jiffy, Monica unlocked her
“Caroline, you are trading on a thin line. His wealth belongs to me and I don’t know how you managed to acquire them but they are the one thing that I will fight for to the end. You will regret ever crossing me, bitch,” Paula said as she tried to stand up. Her knees were already hurting.“Did I say that you can stand up? officer, hand me the charges that I brought against them. one more mistake on your part and I will sign the papers. You will be kissing the bright sunlight goodbye. I am not ‘in the mood of joking with the two of you right now.”“Alright, we will do as you say but please get us out of here “Jane said looking genuinely afraid. Paula on the other hand couldn’t stop the tears from rolling on her face.To her surprise, the tears on her face were real this time round.Her mission was accomplished. All that she wanted was to intimidate them and make them afraid so that they can tell her the truth about Wesley’s whereabouts. That was all that she cared about. Anyway, she wo
“Don’t believe them. You will get in to trouble “Megan warned desperately.However, she knew that Caroline was someone who was decisive. Once she has decided on something, there was no turning back for her“I am not afraid of them. what I don’t want is for them to hurt Wesley when I am capable of helping. If they are trying to trick me, then I will comfort myself that I tried my best. Hold on for the time being for the marketing director position, I will try to find someone as soon as possible. If I can’t find the right person, then I will handle that department responsibilities myself.”As soon as she finished talking, she took her bag and quickly excited the office” Call me in case of anything “she shouted back.“Is she really coming? I feel so disgusted with this place. I can’t stand the smelly room. My face and hands are swollen because of the beating that we got from that man. Mum, I can’t stand staying here any minute longer. Please do something. “Paula shouted.Despite their nu
“Oh …...I am so fucked up. Please come back, Wesley. I can’t bear to lie any more to Angel. “Caroline thought silently while looking at her daughter.“Baby, you like asking so many questions. Well, I am not nervous. I just have a lot in my head and I am trying to sort them out in my mind. I do it a lot lately and I am so surprised that you noticed. ““I always know everything about you, Mommy. In that case, you should relax a bit. Don’t force things, they will fall in to place by themselves. our teacher taught us that when we want to learn something new, we should go slow on it “ Angel was right anyway. She was dealing with so many things and it was best for her to take it slow. Otherwise, she will go insane.“I love you baby, your words mean a lot to me “she pulled her in to her arms and then kissed her hair tenderly.“When you feel down, I am here for you, okay. Angel loves you so much. I made a promise to daddy that I will protect you and this is exactly what I am doing. You have
“Wesley …she repeated again sounding hysterical. Her eyes were darting from place to place just to get a glimpse of the figure that she just saw. However, the man was nowhere to be seen. He had vanished in to thin air just like Wesley. could those two be related?It took her almost an hour to search the ground floor where he had disappeared to. When she realized that she wasn’t getting anywhere, she sat down on the couch to rest her legs. At this rate, she wasn’t sure if they would actually heal properly.She laughed at herself depreciatively as tears flowed on her face freely. She must be running mad for real. She saw Wesley laying on the bed unconscious. What more evidence did she need to see that he was in a coma?why was it that she thought that the strange man was Wesley? He could be just any body using the same brand of cologne as Wesley. That cologne wasn’t a custom made one.She just realized that she had stayed in the mall for so long and it was already dark in the night.
He clenched his fist not knowing what to do. No matter what sort of nonsense that his mother will come up with, he will never leave Caroline. She can forget about it for all he cares.“Then make me understand. I have been asking you all these years but you refused to tell me, mother. Do I deserve this ill treatment from the woman who gave birth to me? Mother, I only wanted you to love me and be there for me. I have missed you all of my life and all that I need is for you to be on myside for his once. I need you to love the woman that I have chosen. I am already having a hard time trying to make her fall in love with me and you are not making things any easier for me.”Agnes ‘s eyes clouded with tears. It wasn’t her fault that things happened in the way that they did. she genuinely loved Jack and it was the most difficult decision that she has ever made in her life to turn her back on him“Alright, don’t be that sad, honey. I will tell you but I am not sure if you are ready to hear t
She never got the Chance to meet her in the past. Caroline actually couldn’t remember much of her childhood. When she asked, her mother told her that when she was around four years, she was very sick and lost her memory.However, her mother was understanding and told her that she didn’t need to force herself to remember. One day, things will come back to her naturally.But after all these years, it was beginning to bother her. She wondered what was real and what wasn’t real in her life.Caroline understood well what was going on. She was so stupid to have agreed to accompany Jack to meet his mother. How could she think that she would be accepted? “Maybe, it is not the right time for me to meet your mother. I am sorry but I will just leave.”“No …stay. Mother, can you be nice to her just for today only? Let us just mingle, we will sort out whatever is bothering you later. Please, don’t spoil this chance for me “Jack begged.Caroline bowed her head in shame. she couldn’t believe that Ja
“I understand Mommy. Just try your best and I will bake a cake for your coming birthday. So, I am going to hang up because I have to cook with aunt Monica. I love you…...kisses.”“Bye sweetie, I will see you soon” she said and sent her kisses over the phone.“Is that Angel? I can accompany her to school. I don’t mind at all. We can pretend that I am her dad only for that day if you allow me “Jack suggested.Caroline thought for a while. It made sense if Jack would come with them because Angel already met him and she liked him. It wouldn’t be a big deal if they told her that Jack was covering for her dad who couldn’t make it in time.On the other hand, Jack was only trying to get closer to Angel because he knew that she was her mother’s soft spot. If he could make Angel love him, then he was sure that Caroline won’t be left behind.“I accept. “Caroline said decisively“Well…..with that settled . I have a surprise for you. Our date is fast approaching and you know we have to be ready
