Christ disguised himself and stood 15 feet from where the deceased girl was about to be lay to rest. He had to attend her funeral to pay his last respect to her.He has been feeling guilty of what happened to her, maybe if he had not visited her at the hotel, Beatrice wouldn't have killed her, she would still be alive.He felt tears forming in his eyes, and quickly wiped it off. Christ has never cried over the death of someone. He has never felt the way he felt today, he was totally devastated because of the girl's death.In the count of three months he has lost three people, Jude, Lorenzo and now the poor girl. Who's next? Has been on his mind, he doesn't want to lose anyone to his enemies.He was deep in thought when he felt someone dragging his suit trousers. He looked down to see a small boy not more than seven years old, looking up at him."If you came to pay my sister your respect, why are you standing here? Are you not her friend?" The little asked, and wrapped his hands with t
Anna was deep in her thoughts, her hands rested on her cheeks. The unending gift from the unknown figure has been on her mind. There's no reason for someone to keep sending her gifts while his identity is hidden.At first, she thought it was Christ, and later she was mistaken about it, not that he knew all of her favorite. He wasn't the one sending her gifts.And each time she opens the box, it's the same gift, and there's just one person who would always send it to her, and that person is long dead. She has been thinking if he is the one, but there's no reason for the dead to send her flowers.Anna sighs, and drops her hands from her cheek. She sat upright, and started to type on her laptop. Just then, she heard someone hum mm, and quickly looked up."Romeo, when did you get here? Have you been standing there for too long?" She asked, and stood up from her chair."If you're bothered about something, share with us, there's a saying a problem shared is a problem half solved, don't you
Henry just hung up on a call, and turned to the screen in front of him. He was engrossed in the movie, when suddenly, he heard his doorbell rang.He furrowed his brows, and turn to the door, wondering who it could be, at this time of the night. He dropped the TV control, drop his legs down, before he stood up, and stride to get the door.As the door flung open, he froze in his stand, with his mouth slightly parted, as he ogles at her."Ain't you going to let me inside?" Beatrice asked, and slightly moved his out of the door."What are you doing here this late? What about Lee?" Henry asked, and closed the door.He followed her to the couch, and sat close to her. "Why do you look this way? Have you been crying?" He asked, and wipe out something from her eyes."You knew about my house, didn't you?" Beatrice asked, taking him by, surprised."You never told me you had a house, how do you expect me to know? I only found out earlier today when watching the news."Because she hid it from him,
Anita pace furiously in her office, thinking about the incident from the other night. She still can't believe how Anna knew she tried to kidnap Billie, and made the girl got kidnap in place of her.She's also been thinking if the fire From her mother's house, was also caused by Anna. No one knew about that her, except for her, her mother, and the engineers who worked on it.There was no way Anna could have known she told her spy to take the girl to her mother's mansion. Everything were confusing to her, and she couldn't think in her right state of mind.The door to her office suddenly crept open. She halt and came into view with her mother, her face still obvious she hasn't stopped crying."Are you okay? What brings you to my office this early? You still haven't stopped crying? It's not as if you lost everything, we have father's wealth to inherit."Beatrice dropped her bag on her desk. "Anita, you know how I built that mansion, you know how much effort I put into it. That's not all,
The next day, Anna and Christ stood in front of the judge inside the court with both their fathers, Billie, Romeo, Steve, and Ray behind watching the soon-to-be couple's. The judge brought two papers and gave one to each of them, with a pen already beside them. Christ and Anna looked at each other and smiled, they were both eager to sign the papers, and be pronounced husband and wife. The judge cleared his voice, "As you sign the papers, you both will be legally bound as husband and wife. This marriage can only be separated by the court. If you both consent, go ahead and sign the papers." The couple's looked at each other and nodded. They picked up the pen, and signed on the papers given to them. "Very well, then, I now pronounce the both of you as husband and wife." The judge said, and the little audience applauded. Christ pulled Anna into a hug, before they turned to their family standing behind them. "Congratulations, you shall have a blessed home." Mr Lee said to the couple's
Ann and Christ lay on the bed, staring intensely at each other, with smile's etched on their faces. Christ crawled his hands up to her face, slowly patting her hair. They were both in love, and you could see it boldly written on their eyes. Getting married is a dream come through for them, especially for Christ, who wants nothing than to always be with her. The woman he has always wanted, the woman who is slowly changing him into a better person. With Anna besides him, he believed he will have a good life sperm. Anna was happy, but she did not know how to express it to him, she wants to spend her lifetime with him. The chirped of Anna's phone made them retracted from their stare to her phone. Anna was about to spin around to get her phone, but Christ stopped her. "Wifey, you can't pick up calls, this is our first night as couple's, I need all the time in the word with you." He said, and pouted. "I'm sorry, I need to pick up that call, it might be very imperative, and I wouldn't
THREE DAYS LATERAnita trailed behind her mother, as they stride into a big mansion, which was painted all black, which got her wondering the kind of person the owner would turn out to be. She has seen lots of houses's painted black, with a touch of different colors on it, but this particular one has neither touch of mixed color.It was kind of becoming scary for her, and Anita fasten her pace towards her mother, which made her halt. "Mother, where is this place?" Anita asked, as she spun around to look at her."You will see for yourself, just follow me, don't be scared." Beatrice assured her, and drag her along.They walked until they got Inside, and were greeted by some few guards they met. One of them quickly recognized Beatrice, and marched up to her."I'm here to see your Boss, tell him his sister is here to see him." Beatrice said, which made Anita wrinkle her face.'Sister? I thought mother had no brother? Well, whoever he is, I'm not leaving this place, until I see him' Anita
Anna pulled up in the parking, she picked up her bag, and step down from the car. Steve and Ray invited her over for dinner, and she cheerfully accepted it.She leisurely strode towards the restaurant, when she heard her phone ringing. Anna halt and pulled out the phone from her bag. She checked the caller ID, and a smile graced her face."Someone misses me so badly that they can't go a minute without speaking to me." She teases."Common Wifey, do you have to tease me? I can't wait to be back, I want to hold you so dearly to me. I miss you much more than you can imagine." Christ earnestly admitted.'I must be the luckiest woman, having such a romantic husband. I miss you more, I want to snuggle close to you' Anna thought, but she couldn't say it out.Christ knew she was blushing already, he knows her to be shy whenever he says such words to her."I know you do miss me, don't be shy. Where are you? I'm hearing footsteps?""I'm having dinner with your friends and Billie, they invited ov
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
