Anna hopped into her car, drove out of the parking, and head to Christ company. After the conversation she had with Khalifa, he didn't give up, he is still persistent she goes check up on him, and confirm if the rumors were true, which left her with no other choice.And Romeo has been backing him up, she couldn't win over the both of them, not when they're ganging up on her. They have been using the contract he got her as an excuse, making her feel indebted to him.Even though she knew she was truly indebted to him, she will rather not admit to it. Being indebted to someone has always been something she has avoided, right from when she was thrown out of her father's house.She might have been pathetic, but she did survive slowly on her pride, denying she's not indebted to him wouldn't change, nothing rather, than to accept it.She pulled up in the parking, step down and locked her car, with her bag on her left hands, she leisurely strides to his office.Her eyes caught a glimpse of som
Ashley gazes at her mum as she paces round the house non-stop, worry marred on her face. She tried calming her down, but it didn't work, not that she did really care. She has her problem to deal with.Ever since Christ went missing, she has lost her appetite to eat, work or do anything, she felt reluctant. There's still no news about his whereabouts, and his body has not yet been found. But unbeknownst to her, Christ is alive and back to work.Her mum won't stay still or even listen to her. Maybe she had another misunderstanding with dad, and why is Anita still not here? She thought.She rested her back on the couch and closed her eyes to rest them. Minutes pass, and there was still no sight of Anita.Ashley opened her eyes to see her mum still parading, she stood up and was about walking to her room, when Anita walked into the leaving room.Ashley pause and turn to her, their gaze locked together."What took you so long? I called you almost an hour ago?" Ashley asked and sat back on t
Anna walked into her office and plopped on the sofa, her hands rested on her head with her eyes closed.Her conversation with Christ kept creeping into her head. She just couldn't understand why he wants to be business partners with her. Why he is insisting on helping her.She admits that she's indebted to him and would do anything to pay him back, but not being business partners, not him trying to help her.She might have been weak and needed help four years back, but that's in the pass, she has always survived slowly on her pride and accepting help from someone isn't something she wants to do ever again.People who were supposed to help her threw her out of the house, without a second thought, and she has learned to live that way."Sis, are you okay? What are you thinking about?" She heard and fidgeted at the voice.Romeo has been knocking on the door but got no response from her.She sat upright to see Romeo standing close to her, his face laced with worry."What is wrong with you?
"Congratulations Maria, I never expected it to be this big, you put in a lot of effort." Mr Alan said, and sip from his drink.Maria smile at his comment. "Thank you, Alan, this isn't really that big. I thought you won't make it.""I wouldn't miss your grand opening for anything, I got prepared earlier to make it here, right, James?" He asked his friend standing next to him.James nods and sip from his drink. "Trust me, Maria, he was the one who dragged me here earlier." He replied.Alan retracted his gaze and saw beautiful Anna walking up to them with a smile etched on her face."Miss Anna." He called out, and the two other figure followed his gaze.Mr James mouth gasped open seeing how beautiful she looked in her outfit, he has heard of her, but never seen her, and just like Maria described her, she exceeds his expection."Hello, Mr Alan." Anna greeted, and shook hands with him."I'm James." He said, stretching his hands out to her which she took and shook him before placing a kiss o
It was 5am at dawn, Steve and Christ walked into a dumped warehouse. Christ couldn't wait, he was eager to know who sent him, who was behind it, and why they had to do it. They got to where Jude was tied to a chair, to find him still sleeping. Steve ordered his men to pour water on him. Jude cringed, and his eyes snapped open, he screamed when he saw the figures standing close to him. "What the hell do you want from me? You will regret touching a hair on my skin, I will make you pa…." He was cut off by a slap on his face. Christ and Steve eyes lock and they nod. Christ squat down to his level, his face showed no emotion and his eyes were red. "I have just one question to ask you, if you answer me, I will let you go and leave your life freely, and if you refuse to, I will make you regret ever laying your filthy hands on her precious skin. Who's your boss?" Jude laugh hysterically and widen his eyes. "I'm my own boss, and she's my girlfriend, what right do you have to question me
Anna step down from the car and muttered a thank you to the driver before she turned and strode into her mansion. She halt on her way and stretch out her body, before she led her way into the living room. She halt half way when she saw four figures seated, their faces marred with worry, and guilt wash through her. She wasn't dead, but they were all worried about her, the thought of it made a smile appeared on her face. Even though her family threw her out of the house, she still has one family who truly care about her. Even though her family turned their back on her, sent her packing from the house, it didn't stop her from getting another family who sincerely cared about her and would do anything for her happiness. She quietly walks towards them with her gaze down. Maria jerk up when she saw her. "Goodness, where have you been? You vanish from the grand opening yesterday." She asked, being the first to see her. And diverted other's attention to Anna, who said nothing, her gaze wan
Anna walked towards her burnt storehouse, dressed in a complete black outfit, eyeliner and lipstick black, her hair tied in a ponytail. Her face showed no emotion, her expression was dark, the make-up made her look like some fierce assassin on a mission to eliminate someone. Black sighted her walking in, and quickly scurried off to greet her. "Good morning Boss." He greeted. She just nods and walk pass him, without taking a glance at him. Anna stood in front of the girl, she was tied to a chair, and her eyes were covered with a white scarf. "Lydia right? Why did you do it? Who paid you to do it?" Anna asked, and she starts to quiver. "I didn't do anything, I don't know what you're talking about, please let me go, I beg of you." Lydia pleaded with tears streaming down her cheek. She's trying to act tough, she won't easily admit to her crime, there's only one way out. "Do you want to see tomorrow's daylight?" Anna asked. She was shaking really hard like someone who was lock in an i
Anna wow in her mind immediately she step down from the plane. She has been to quite some places, nothing could match up the airport in city L, but NY was a bit different. "Is this New York?" She mumbled to herself. 'You're yet to see anything, there's more of it' her mind said to her. Maria's face was etched with a smile, seeing Anna looking around, scanning her environment with a gigantic grin on her face. The airport alone is beautifully made, she thought while spurning around. Her eyes got caught of something which made her halt, on a big banner was boldly written welcome back to New York Cenzo, we love you. Just like Khalifa had told her, his name here is Cenzo, but why was he referred as Cenzo? What's the meaning of Cenzo? It's not like I can find it in dictionary for easy access, she thought. Maria followed her gaze, she smiled when she noticed what her gaze was fixated on, and before she could utter a word to her, they heard someone squealing in excitement, which got the
The next day.Kaka and Billie were engrossed playing with Anna's baby, laughing, while she looked at them filled with Joy. The pass seven months was a living hell for her, but she was grateful she finally put to birth, even though she lost one of her baby.Maria slid the door open, which diverted their attention, thinking it was the men. Immediately her gaze rested on Anna, she beams at her with love."Where are my babies? Grandma is here." Maria announced, making her way inside."Aunt Maria, I have missed you." Anna said, and pulled her into a warm hug."I miss you more baby, I'm sorry you went through all those pains alone, it's over now." Maria said, and disentangle the hug.Anna cast her gaze down with a small smile on her face."I'm sorry, I lost one of the babies." She mumbled, with a bitter heart. She tried not to do anything with my mind, but it wasn't easy with all those pains she went through.Maria looked at how pale she had become, and almost teared up, but she pushed it b
10:30pmAt Ejimae's MansionAnna has been inhaling and exhaling for the past fifteen minutes. She felt has stomach tightened, and her legs lame. This hasn't happened to her before, but today she's experiencing such.She couldn't bear it any longer, and slowly eased her steps to the living room, to check if Ejimae was back. He had informed her about an hour ago that he was heading out.She strides to the living room, to find a few of his guards whispering to each other. As soon as they felt her present, they quickly bowed their heads."Where is your Master? Is he back?" She asked, vigorously."No, is there something you need us to do for you?" One of them asked, and lifted his head up."I have to go to the hospital, please inform the driver to come take me to the hospital." Anna said, holding back the pains she was feeling."No, you can't leave the house, you have to wait for the master's return, go back inside and wait." One of the figures responded.Anna slowly lifted her head up, on
Ray pass Christ his phone when it starts to ring. Christ took a look at the caller, and smiled."Hello Aunt, how are you doing? And how's grandma?" Christ asked."We're fine. I'm flying back to City L to take good care of you, I'm certain you must look pale." Ruth said, in a worried tone."Aunt you can't come over to City L, I have told you I'm fine, and soon we will find my wife." He assured her."But Christ you don't sound okay on the phone, let me come over, I'm not doing much here. Grandma is taking care of the crucial job here, and your manager is great with his work.""I Know this has to do with my wife absent, but believe me, I'm fine. Ashley quest to help us locate her, and I agreed. If Ejimae is her biological father, he definitely must see her if she requested for a meeting."Ruth heaved a loud sigh, and exhaled."Are you sure about that? You know your relationship with her, it might be a set-up.""I don't think it is, she wants to help, she said she wants to apologize to he
Anita stepped down from her car, and marched to her sister with a smirk on her face, playing with the keys she's holding.She got to where she stood and halt in front of her, making herself comfortable on her sister's car bonnet.After getting seated, she didn't say a word, and just stared at Ashley, who was waiting patiently for her to speak up."You ask me to come over, but you're not saying anything." Ashley spoke up."Ashley, why are you suddenly back? You left without a word after the police came in search for mum, and all of a sudden, you want to see her, don't you think it's strange?"Anita wanted to be certain her sister was not planning to betray them. She knows her relationship with Liam has grown stronger before she disappeared.She thought maybe Liam would be the one prompting her to reconcile with her, so they can locate Beatrice and send the cops over to get her.After all, his father died, when he heard of his best friend's death. So, he blames Beatrice for his death."
Anna sat in front of the mirror, touching her face with foundation, when her soon-to-be husband strode inside the room without knocking.Immediately she heard the door barge open, she cussed underneath her breath. She has complained a thousand times for him to stop making his way inside without her consent, since he has forbidden her from locking the door.As he strides towards her, she drop the brush and stood up to look at him, with a frown on her face."I thought you promised to change? Is this how you want to keep on barging into the room?" She sounded pissed."Why do you have a problem with me not knocking? This is my house, my roof you're in, don't tell me what not to do.""I have every right to, you can't keep treating me like a slave if you want this marriage to work.""Let's not have this conversation, I won't let you ruin my day. If you're done with what you're doing, come to the living room and pick out your wedding gown."Anna's mouth gasped open, at the mention of the wed
Billie trailed behind Christ to his office, pleading with him to work with Ashley, so she can help find Annabelle. But Christ doesn't seem to buy the whole idea. Ashley is the last person he wants to work with, not after what they did to Anna."Uncle Christ please you have to do this for me, I know you miss your wife, work with her please." Billie pleaded, immediately they stride into his office.Christ heaved a sigh, "Ashley is not to be trusted, if you trust her, I don't, not after everything they did to my wife, it's not possible." Christ responded, with his voice a bit loud."Wait, what's with the hatred? Don't tell me this has to do with your relationship with her in the past?" Steve asked.That's the only reason he thinks Christ doesn't want to work with her, not because he can't confide in her."You have to do this for your wife and your unborn child, don't you miss them?" Billie asked, thinking that's the only word that can change his mind.Christ spun around when she made men
SEVEN MONTHS LATERBillie stride to Khalifa's office to drop the documents he quested form her. For the past seven months, ever since Anna got missing and Romeo lost his life, she has been the one who took up Romeo's job.She had to stop the catering she loved to do most, and thanks to kaka who has been coming around to help from time to time.She got to his office, and without knocking, she strode inside with a long face, looking unhappy.Khalifa lifted his head up to look at her. The expression on her face made him heaved a sigh, before he thought of striking a conversation with her."Billie, what's with that face of yours? Are you sick?" Khalifa asked, with raised brows."I'm okay, just a bit tired. You know, I have been working for the whole week."Khalifa stood up and pulled her into a hug, her head rested on her chest, while he strokes her hair."I'm sorry. I just got off the phone with kaka, she will be flying in tomorrow, your work will less when she comes." He assured her, an
Christ step out of his car. He fixed his neck tie, and leisurely marched into his wife's company.As he led his way to her office, all eyes were glued to him, astound to see him. His body was said to be missing, but today, out of the blue, he is striding in the mixed of people heading to his wife's office.He got to her office, and her secretary quickly stood up to welcome him."Good morning, sir, she's not inside." She greeted."What do you mean? Did she call in that she won't be coming to the office?" Christ asked.She cast her gaze down, thinking of what to say to him. She overheard Khalifa saying she's nowhere to be found, and she couldn't tell him that."Are you deaf? I'm talking to you, did she call in sick?""Do not shout at her brother, if you miss your wife, what took you so long to come find her?" He heard Steve's voice and spun around.Steve stride towards him with a sad expression on his face. He halt in front of Christ , staring deep in his eyes."Where is my wife, Steve?
Anna was trying to use her power's but to stop them from dragging her, but she couldn't. Since she conceived, she has been abstaining from using her mind to cause harm because of her unborn child. She's scared of losing her baby.She has abstained from using her power's to avoid killing her child. The last time she almost tried to use it, she lost too much blood, and ever since she's taken precautions.They were still endeavoring to drag her upstairs when Ejimae showed up unannounced."Stop it." He thundered, diverting their attention, and Anita quickly let go.Anna spun around, immediately she saw him, her soul almost left her body, yet she stood strong.Beatrice still clutched her tightly, refusing to let go of her. Ejimae stride closer to her, and the next thing she heard was a resounding slap on her face.That was for disobeying his orders."How dare you slap my mother because of this thing?" Anita spat at him, taking a step back."If I'm still your father, she remains your mother
