“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
“When you are done with your mysterious lies then you will have the right to take her. Until then, she is not going anywhere with you.” Caroline whispered in his ears so that Angel wouldn’t hear their conversation. “Hand her over to me, I do not have all day to keep looking at your face. My father needs me urgently and I am in no mood to deal with your crap.” Caroline snarled.Seeing how much she was agitated. Wesley had no choice but to give up Angel. To some extent, she had every right to be angry with him and he understood. He just didn’t know how to make her understand that there were forces behind him that he couldn’t control.“Jack, take me to my father “.“With pleasure “the man held her hands and they quickly made their way out of the church.Wesley clenched his fist so hard. No one has rights over her except him. Right there and then, he swore that he will do everything in his power to get her back. It didn’t matter to him how long it will take. He was the one who hurt he
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
