“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
“As you wish darling. come and let us go to sleep. Tomorrow is the big day and I can’t wait for us to hold millions in our hands. We will be rich. We will travel and enjoy ourselves without having to beg money from my mother. I hate that damn woman. I wish that she wasn’t my mother.” Sophia cursed.“Mother, she is still our only living relative and I don’t understand why she hates us. Let us not talk about her because I couldn’t stand it that she favored Caroline instead of me. what did she have that I didn’t?”“I also wonder what her mother had that I didn’t. I was always the wrong one and her mother was always the favored one. I am so glad that she died and I couldn’t care less about her. Darling, what I promise you is that we will be a thorn in that Caroline’s life. I hate that woman with all of my fiber. After everything is settled, I will come back and deal with her ““Count me on that. I want her dead and buried “Paula said with a cold expression.Early in the morning, the two o
“Dear viewers, we would like to inform you that Wesley Storm who was involved in a serious accident yesterday is still fighting for his life. Apparently, his long missing family appeared all of a sudden and took him away. No one knows where he is currently receiving his treatment. The family requested for privacy in this time of hardship. we will inform you when we get more news on this “the news reporter announced.“Mother, that idiot got himself in to an accident again. Why am I this unlucky? So, what do we do now? “Paula asked with an emotionless face.“Of course, act as an aggrieved fiancé that you are. Turn this opportunity in to your favor and show Wesley that you have changed. Perhaps, he might forgive us for trying to sell his properties. I get the feeling that this new found family of Wesley is powerful, you shouldn’t lose favor with him. We must make sure that we become part of his new family. what do you think?“Perfect mother. What will I ever do without you? The big quest
Caroline woke up feeling out of place. The house wasn’t hers, it wasn’t even decorated according to her taste and preferences. She hated the color yellow. Everywhere that she turned, the ugly theme was staring back at her.This house screamed of everything about Paula. Anyway, it didn’t matter, the end results was what was important. She needed the house for a short while and then later on she could leave it behind. Besides her, Angel was coiled in a deep sleep. She caressed her cheeks and then climbed out of the bed. The moment that she reached the living room, a mouthwatering aroma of food caught her nose and she couldn’t help but follow the scent. Her stomach growled loudly, It has been a while since she had a proper meal. When she reached the kitchen, Wesley was there consumed in his cooking. She had never seen him doing something that nice before. He was always cold and unapproachable. He was very grumpy and he never even knew what was in her kitchen.Oh…. people really do c
“Well…focus on your life now. I will search around and see who is trying to frame you, okay. I know some of my contacts who can help me with this matter. Cheer up, son. “Agnes said as she hugged his head just like she had done when he was little “I love you so much and I can never do something that will intentionally hurt you ““I know, mother. Please forgive me. You have always been there for me and I have no right to mistrust you. I guess seeing Caroline leaving with Wesley got in to my head. But why can’t things return to the way that they used to be? we used to live a simple life. No secrets, betrayals, revenge or anything similar. I miss those old good days.”“You will work hard to forget her. Please promise me. She will never be good for you. You have lived a very sad life and you deserve someone who will love you for who you are. You need someone who will compensate for all those years that you were alone. “Agnes stated.Jack only stared at her and then kissed the back of her h
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
“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,
“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
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
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
“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
“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
