“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
Wesley was startled at first but he soon understood everything. In order to save their daughter from having another mental breakdown, Caroline lied to her that he was on a business trip.He could now understand the anguish that Caroline was going through.It was such a pity that everything that he did only ended up hurting Angel. Why was he such a bad dad? Why couldn’t he do things right for once in his life? Everything that was precious to him was slowly fading away and he was becoming powerless.“Sweetie, come here? I missed you so much “He crouched down and hugged his daughter like he had never done before.Angel caressed his face lovingly. She didn’t understand adults sometimes. Her father never wanted her mother and he even divorced her. Why was he now looking angry when her mother has chosen to move on?“Why are you angry with my Mommy? She is getting married and we should all be happy for her, right? I already gave my blessings so you should also do it “Angel said innocently wh
“I did retire and I have no intention of continuing with the profession but a man has got to do what he has to do. There is a woman who is giving me a headache and I have to prove myself at every opportunity that I get “Wesley smiled shyly.“Yeah…. I have heard all about it. Caroline is really a remarkable woman. Keep doing what you are doing and in no time, you will win over her heart. “The judge said and then Wesley excused himself to go and talk to Caroline.She didn’t want to waste his time talking about his personal love life.“Thank you so much for a fabulous confession. Aren’t you ashamed of yourself?” Monica sneered as she looked at Heather up and down. You have got to be the most desperate bitch to admit seducing a married man. Hurrah…...Clap…...clap.”“Ha……Ha……Ha…...mind you own business. If I am a seductress, why are you lonely and unwanted?” Heather rolled her eyes at Monica.“Isn’t that better than being a prostitute?” Monica asked.“So, you have accepted that you slep
It was a short notice and he had to make a quick decision.Thankfully, there was someone whose testimony was going to make a big difference. Still, it was risky but he had to take his chances.Just as people were still waiting for the mysterious witness, Heather appeared in person. Jack was too shocked to even say anything. He didn’t see this coming. All that he could think about was that Heather was revenging the way that he had abandoned her in the hands of Wesley.Surely, she should be able to understand. He wasn’t going to just give away his company for her stupid mistake. He called “Heather, what the hell are you doing here?”She just looked ahead as if she didn’t know him.At that point, Caroline was at a loss of words. She couldn’t tell what was going on in that man’s head. How could he risk bringing the back stabber to the stand? What if she says something that will jeopardize the situation?They were moving on well and Isabel had high chances of winning.“Your honor, my wi
“Are you a fucking robot? Tell Wesley that he is ugly as a lawyer and if he doesn’t get his ass out of here, I will never talk to him. “Caroline replied furiously.Meanwhile in the car, Luke grinned cheekily as he texted Caroline back. He knew that Wesley will skin him alive but he couldn’t resist the temptation.“Wherever ……. I feel so tired I am going to rest for a while then I will delete this messages and Wesley won’t know .“Luke whispered before closing his eyes to sleep.“Your honor, my client is completely innocent and I am not sure why she has to appear before this court. She is a journalist by profession and it is her duty to inform the public about what is going on in their favorite celebrities’ lives. I want to ask the people here. When have you ever heard the plaintiff complaining when good things were reported about him? I have evidence here showing the numerous times where my client has made countless remarkable things about him. Why is he here claiming that he has be
“Isabel, talk …. we are friends and you need to trust us. How can we help you if you keep things to yourself? “Monica stated. “The worst have happened and I am being sued by Jack. I just don’t know what to do?” Isabel finally said and the three ladies looked at each other.They didn’t think that he will still follow with his threat. Jack must be desperate.“Don’t worry, I am going to help you. I will talk to a lawyer friend of mine and I know that he will be willing to lend us a hand.” Caroline offered with a smile on her face. She didn’t want to bother Scott Mathew but her friend needed her help.“And we will support you in every process. Just have faith that things will be okay. We have been through worse and we have come out victors. “Monica said with optimistic. After 2 days, Isabel appeared in court accompanied by Caroline and Monica. Jack was also there and he looked really arrogant.“Why don’t you just accept her fate already. You people are on the losing side. Isabel will be
“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
