“Sit down. I have a long story to tell you and I am sure that you won’t believe me but I will try as best as I can to explain things even if it is the worst experience of my life. After this conversation, I won’t meddle in your life again. Every single choice that you make will all be on you, okay. I will not be connected with her or anyone in that family ““Mother, you are scaring me. Did she kill someone?” Jack asked looking confused.He settled down on the sofa but his heart couldn’t stop beating. Last time, he literally ran away when his mother wanted to talk but today, she couldn’t ignore it anymore. As much as he wanted to know what was the problem, he also felt that it might end up destroying him forever.“It happened long time ago. “Tears rolled on her cheeks as she started narrating “I don’t really like to talk about it but I can’t keep silent anymore. I can’t bear to see the person who hurt me walk freely as if nothing happened. I can’t bear to see you fall in the same dark s
“Mother, I will pass on that for the time being. I believe that Caroline is different and I know that she will love me. I can’t blame her for the mistakes of her family. My God, does she even know any of this? “the man asked looking shaken already.“I don’t know and I don’t care. “Agnes snarled “What I know is that when I got married to your father, he was so sad. I could see how he missed Jane but I comforted myself that he will soon warm up to me. Instead, hated me and humiliated me and I couldn’t do anything. I told myself that in order for me to get what I want, I must be patient. I thought that if I showed him how much I loved him, he will let go of Caroline’s mother and learn to love me. But I was terribly wrong, he never planned on forgiving me. Soon, he started having an affair outside our marriage and again, I couldn’t do anything. ““I thought that it was good news when Jane also decided to move on. She accepted a marriage proposal from Dismas Morgan who had been crushi
“Calm down, I haven’t finished explaining myself. I hate Caroline but I owe you the truth. She is not your sister. You two are not blood related. “That was when Jack breathed with a sigh of relief but then again if she wasn’t his sister then how the hell did she come to the story? whose daughter was she?“Mother, don’t tell me that she was adopted or something?” Jack asked already getting impatient. Does she know all this? “Jack added.“No …she has no idea about the story of her life but I promise you that she is not your sister. I just don’t want you to be entangled with this dream anymore. It is just that her story is related to what I am about to tell you next. Please pay attention.”“Dismas had a lot of enemies back in the days due to his huge success. One day, he had gone on a business meeting in South city and someone drugged his drink. He got to spend a night with a woman who he didn’t know. The woman was also intoxicated and couldn’t remember who he was. Due to the guilt th
“Again …..I can’t believe this “ Jack was startled. He was so angry because of Dismas. He loved him, he was his role model and he thought that if his father was a good for nothing dad, then he could depend on Dismas. He honestly saw him as his father. What a big mistake he had made?He suddenly wanted revenge. He was an orphan because of Dismas and he will pay. As long as he was alive, he will bring justice to his dad and mum.“Then tell me, mother. why is it that Dismas is so interested in me marrying his daughter? Is there something more that I should know?”“It is simple. He wants the two companies to combine so that he can take control of it all. Caroline coming back to take over the company was part of a well-organized plan. He had to gain your trust and believe me that man is the most power-hungry human being in this world. Perhaps, even Caroline knows all his plans. Why would she agree to marry you when she knows very well that she is not in love with you? Decide on what you t
“I swear, I saw him. What the hell is going on here? It is some kind of a conspiracy? why is Wesley pretending to be in a coma when he is alive and well? Anyway, just tell him that his jokes will catch up with him soon.” Isabel became really angry. She didn’t like the way these men were making a fool out of her when she knew perfectly well what she saw.“Don’t bother with them. I told you that Wesley was sick. Really …they are right, it wouldn’t have been him. Wesley is probably lying on a bed unable to walk, talk or see. Just let it go.” Caroline said as she walked out of the room with a heavy heart. As long as no one has told her that he was dead, she still had some hope.“We are not leaving until I get to the bottom of this “Isabel insisted and then someone came in to the room carrying an aura of mysteriousness.“What are you two doing here?” Luke asked looking surprised to see Caroline and Isabel in the private room.Aren’t things getting even crazier. Luke was also here. Caroline
The woman turned back and then looked at her sarcastically “why are you everywhere? By any chance, are you stalking me? “She asked.“Lady, you came after us and you have no right to enter before us. I will make a complain to the owner of this place. Who is the owner anyway? I would like to know his or her name? “Isabel continued to complain bitterly. “You want to know the owner? well the name is “Wes” The assistant said and Caroline thought that it was odd. However, she didn’t allow herself to think about it too much. Wes was the first three letters of Wesley’s name. Why was she having this wild thought that he was the one owning the company?“It is okay, let her be. We will have our turn soon “Caroline interrupted the conversation. She didn’t want to argue with the woman. She wanted her to leave so that she could find more information about herAs soon as the woman disappeared, she turned to the assistant and asked. “You said that woman is the richest in the North city, who is sh
He has done everything to stay away but to no avail. From the moment that he learnt that Caroline was getting married to Jack Baron, it broke his heart in to tiny little pieces. He couldn’t believe that she chose someone else over him.But what else did he expect? He was a fucking vegetable in her eyes.“Boss, I think that you should let her move on with her life. with your new identity, it wouldn’t be safe for you to be seen with her “Luke said as he looked at Wesley with a serious face.“Did I ask for your opinion? “Wesley snapped impatiently and then asked “When is the wedding? “The man was looking as cold as ice. He couldn’t do anything when people were bullying his woman but he was not allowing her to marry someone else. Caroline only belonged to him and no one else.“It is scheduled for today at the North city catholic church “Luke answered.“How dare you hide that information from me, Luke? I thought that I told you that I wanted to know everything about my woman. I wanted t
“Oh …sweetie, I wronged you so bad. I was young and confused. I want to promise you that after this wedding, I won’t go away. You have given me more than enough reasons to stay and I would like to take care of you, Jack and my grandchild. You don’t know how much I am happy that you are giving me the family that I missed when I was busy chasing after power and wealth. I love you. Don’t you ever forget about that as you walk to the altar. Someday, I will tell you what happened to your mother. I promise. I know you must have a lot of questions but now is not the right time, okay “Tears travelled down her face emotionally as she spoke “You don’t know how much I have waited for you to tell me those exact words. I want to know everything about her, okay. As soon as the wedding is over, we are going to sit down and have a long talk. “She said while smiling.“That is a deal, sweetie. You know that I was waiting for this day anxiously and I am glad that you have made me this proud. It is ti
“Do you think that they will still work with a company that has gone under? Besides, that building is too expensive?” Caroline was thoughtful.“It wouldn’t hurt to try. I will give you a list of all our clients and investors who Morgan corporation had dealt with in the past. You will have to approach them personally for help. It all depends on your convincing power. If we want this to work, we must be aggressive and do things without thinking of failure. “Barry stated.“I think Barry has a point. If you want, I will personally escort you to the clients. “Megan added and Caroline felt at peace.“One last thing, I will be your marketing and promotions ambassador. I will do all the awareness once the company has been set up and make sure that your name is taken everywhere in the city. I will do it for free of charge because I want to see you shine again.” Isabel offered.“Really …...bestie. I am so thankful for this. May God bless you.” Caroline said as she looked at her with pride. Ev
“We are almost at the North place Restaurant. I hope that Barry and Megan are already there.” Monica who was driving the car finally said.They parked the car and the three of them came out at once. They meant business and even if the odds were not looking good, they have each other for support.They quickly made their way in to the private room which Megan had booked in advance. The two of them were seated on their chairs as promised and Caroline sighed with a relief. With a team consisting of five people, she was sure that Morgan Corporation was going to come back to life very soon.“Hello everyone?” Caroline greeted as she took her seat.“Barry, I am so glad that you chose to be with me. I will never take this gesture for granted. Megan, thank you for arranging this meeting with us. I know that you must be wondering why this two are here but they have requested to join us. They have some ideas that they want to give us. We need to put all our heads together so that we can come up
A while later, Heather woke up in the hospital. Her face was swollen and full of scars. She didn’t even want to look at herself in the mirror. She had underestimated Caroline.By her side, sat Jack. He was looking at her with an expressionless face as he asked “who did this to you?”He had looked at the security footage but there was nothing.He was just passing by after failing to convince Megan to come to his team. He knew that Caroline was a determined person and all that she needed was just a little support and she will be back on her feet.What he didn’t want was for her to gain her ground because in that way, she would crash him to nothing. Caroline was too furious and if she regained power, he will be doomed.When he entered the Morgan mansion, he was surprised at the scene that he saw. Heather was lying on the ground lifeless while the security guys were busy calling the ambulance.At once, he had taken her to the hospital.“Heather, who was it?“ he asked again.“It was Ca
Before Heather could reply, a hard punched landed on her nose and she fell down while crying in agony. Monica had broken her nose. Caroline looked at her with darkness as she lifted her hands and punched her on the stomach. Heather was now writhing in pain as the two stood looking over her.” I hate people who reap where they did not sow.” Caroline gritted her teeth in disgust.Monica didn’t stop there. she slapped her face and the woman fell flat on the ground. Her face hit the cold sand and she immediately started crying for help but the security officers were just staring at her. They wouldn’t dare do anything because Monica had made sure to threaten them before they could allow her to enter inside the gate.If any of you dares to lay their hands on me or my friend, I have my camera men hidden out there. let us see if you will still have your security jobs after I sue you for bullying and harassments . Are you really that stupid to realize that she is the real owner of this pla
“Hi sweethearts …” Monica greeted as soon as she hugged Caroline and Angel at the same time. “I have been calling you like forever. I was worried about you being near that animal, Jack. What happened?” she asked with concern.In fact, she had called so many times and no one picked up.“It is along story, bestie. I will tell you when I have time but now, I need you to watch over Angel because I need to do something very important. I promise that I will tell you when I come back. “She hurriedly said and kissed Angel’s forehead.“Stay with aunt Monica, I will be right back. Please don’t give her trouble , baby. Are we clear? “Angel nodded obediently and then went to keep herself busy.Monica looked at Caroline’s retrieving body and thought that something was odd. so, she called Isabel to come over so that they would be there for her. She was acting mysteriously for her liking.Upon reaching the Morgan mansion, Caroline found new security guards. At first sight, they didn’t even recogn
“Don’t worry, go and handle your affairs. I have my own plans “Caroline replied and then Wesley pulled her in to his arms and hugged her tight. The hardest thing that he had to do was to leave her side again at this difficult point in her life.However, Winnie was troublesome.“Take good care of yourself and call me if you need anything.”Wesley instructed as he hurriedly turned and excited the house. When the car roared in to life and drove out of the house, she found herself feeling lonely. Everything that Jack did to her came back haunting her. It was bearable when Wesley was around.Even if Wesley hurt her in the past but he wa showing that he was changing.Right after he had left, Megan came to visit.Caroline invited her in to the living room. She knew that they had a lot to discuss about and she couldn’t wait to hear what she has for her. It has been depressing not knowing what Jack was up to.“Caro, are you feeling better now? I heard that you were taking a nap. Are you still
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
