Two weeks later, Anna was getting known in city L, both within and outside the city. Her company kept growing and doing well in the business world. Her company was known as one of the best furniture company, that makes quality and outstanding furniture, it wasn't something you could find anywhere. She has much client coming from other cities, either to sign contract with her, or to purchase furniture's, and it's all thanks to Maria and Christ, who has been recommending her to their business partners, making her meet new people. Her company is growing into a bigger one, and she's recovering from the loose she had during her storehouse ablaze. Anna was reviewing some papers when she heard a knock on her door. "Come in." She answered firmly. "Ma'am, your interview with the paparazzi is in thirty minutes time." Her secretary reminds her. "Okay, please get me my brother." Anna said, but her secretary didn't move an inch. Ann notice she was still standing and lifted her head from the p
"Psycho's, idiots, all they do is try to make money selling false news to the internet, you all go find a better job." Anna cussed immediately Romeo drove far from them. He looked at her through the mirror, shook his head and smile. "Khalifa called, the agreement with Mr Christ is ready." He informed her. "Okay, take me there, I will go to his office and sign it, She said, and then continued. Did you summit the documents?" "Yes, I did, I made sure no one saw me, I'm sure by the end of today, they will release it." Romeo assured her, his eyes glued to the road. A sinister smile appeared on Anna's lips, she couldn't wait to see the fun that's yet to display. Just when you're trying to turn into a new leaf, the devil sends its servant to test you. I'm not to be blame, I was being nice to the wrong people and now is the time to make them dance to their music, I won't allow anyone to cross me again, lesson learned already, She thought. Romeo made a U turn and took the route to Christ
"Wake him up." Christ ordered, as he walks into the warehouse with Steve and Ray behind him."Do you always have to pour water on me just waking me up?" Jude yelled at them, immediately his eyes snapped open, then he turned to Christ who's gaze was on something else."Monster you said you were going to free me when I tell you the truth which I did, how long do you intend to keep me here? A month? A year? Get me out of here." He yelled again.Christ turn to him with a smile. "So long as you fail to cooperate, who knows I might end up getting rid of you, and I'm sure no one would worry about you, not even the person that got you into this mess.""Now listen up, I'm going to let you go, but you have to be willing to do something to please me, you have to give me something in exchange for your freedom." Christ Said, and his brows furrow.Jude struggled on the seat to untie himself, but to no avail, when he couldn't, he just gave up, he was trying hard not to pass out because of how weak he
Frank dance to the loud music playing in the background, with five strippers rubbing all over his body while he drank from his bottle of alcohol.A man disguise in black with a cup of alcohol walk towards him, pretending to be slightly drunk, dancing to the music near him, getting closer to him to divert his attention.The strippers dancing all over frank notice him and a few of them walk up to him, rubbing their body on him while he dances, which got Frank's attention."Are you the one that stole my b**ch's?" Frank ask taking a sip from his alcohol, while more strippers came to dance with him.He was drunk, and was trying so hard not fall down, but still in his right state of mind, that he could tell what was happening in his surrounding.The figure let out a laugh, which made frank stop dancing. "Your b**ch's came to me, maybe I look hotter than you're." The figure responded and chuckled.Franks huffed and lead his way to a couch, with the ladies trailing behind him. He plopped on th
Anna was sleeping in her room, having a sound and quite sleep in her comfort zone when Billie rushed into her room and dragged her up from bed.She groan in discomfort, and snap her eyes open, only for her to see Billie pulling her out of the bed.Before she could say one more word, Billie pulled her up and drag her to living room, pointing at the TV.Anna rubbed her eyes, and fixed it back on the screen, and to her surprise she saw christ on an interview.That smile on his face is a rare one, he barely smile, was making him all happy? She thought and look for a spot to seat with her both legs crossed.Billie joined her, and they watch closely. A minute into watching it, Billie spoke up. " Wow, You heard, he has someone he likes, i wonder who she could be." Billie said, with her eyes glued to the screen.Anna shifted a bit, it was like she felt her stomach twisted, watching him on the screen revived back her encounter with him at his office, and how he acted.Is this jealous or someth
Christ stride into the family house, and walk pass his father and guess seated in the living room, without taking a glimpse at them.He head directly to Frank's room and barge the door open, making the two figure flinch at his sudden action.Immediately he step into the room, he jerked frank up and punch him on his face, sending him falling to the ground."What is wrong with you?" Liam spat but got ignored.Frank stood up and try to punch him back, but Christ threw him another punch which send him back flying to the ground, his lips bleeding from the punch.Before Christ could punch him again, Liam stood up and held Christ, to him tightly."Didn't I tell you to be on a low-key? Must you always go around clubbing." Christ queried."Stop it, both of you? What do you think you're doing in my house." Mr Salvador yelled, bringing everyone's attention to the door.They all went mute, breathing non-stop like some boxers, who just had a round of fight. Mr Salvador was disappointed in Christ, h
Christ stood outside Anna's mansion waiting for her to come out. He was nervous and same time happy. Something he had never done in his life, he was doing it for the first time. He wasn't sure he did the right thing, making her sign the contract without a proper proofreading.He thought that could be the only way to get her and make her his. He has never waited for a lady nor asked her out. But because he liked Anna and wants to make her his, he was willing to do anything to keep her to himself.He thought getting to know her first and the kind of things she likes, come first. Then, with time, ask her out, and slowly ask her to be his wife.He never dated, so he felt dating was a waste of time, when you love your partner, you ask them to marry you.He stood by the car door scanning his outfits to make sure he was looking good, something he had never done before.Christ didn't have to take his time to make sure he was perfect because God already made him perfect in his own way.He heard
Anita quietly sneaked into the house, hoping to not get caught by her father, but unknownist to her, he was seated in the living room waiting for her. She had called Ashley to switch off the light for her, to make it easier for her to get in without his knowledge. She hastened her pace to her room, but halt halfway when she saw the light turned on her. She shuddered and fell to the floor, but quickly stood up. "What do you think you're doing?" Her father's voice echoed in the room. The way he sounded was vivid that he was still mad about the whole incident. She came into view with him and quickly buried her gaze to the floor, shame engulf her. "Because you know what you did, you refused to come home? Where have you been? Did you look for a boy and ask to stay with him so that you could have your way with them?" He yelled, making her cringe. "Honey, is that a way to talk to your daughter? I have told you someone set her up, you don't believe your daughter would do such a thing,
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
