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
"When should we expect you? I mean, when will your company start the project. I have to know when, so I can explain it to my Boss." The figure who re-presented himself as Ejimae's personal assistant said, clutching tightly to the files he held.Christ crossed his legs and rested his hands on them."There are a few projects we're working on, and it have to be completed this month. Your Boss will have to wait until next month, before we start can work on it.""We're not rushing, as one of the best real estate companies in New York and city L, we believe in you. And I'm sure my boss will be pleased when the work is completed." The figure said, retracting his gaze to his grandma."You made mention of your boss visiting city L, right?" Grandma Amelia asked, and he nods."That would be great, he should meet with my grandson so that they can talk better, before the work starts.

She's now an orphan without parents. Firstly, it was her mother when she graduated from school, and now her father a few days after she got married.As she start still with tears streaming down her cheek, she felt someone tap on her. She slowly looked up to see Ray and Steve dressed in black outfits, with sad expressions.The both of them squatted down close to her, and each held her hands into theirs."We're sorry for your lost, please accept our condolence. You have to be strong, this isn't the time for you to be weak." Steve said in a low tone."He is right, you can't be a weakling, n
Christ was getting ready to leave the office, when he got a call from his personal assistant. He has been engrossed with work, that he hasn't stepped out of the office since Mr White left. He picked up the call, and pressed the answer button."Hello, Jake, is everything okay? Why are you calling at this time?" Christ asked, sensing danger."The chairman has been hospitalized." Jake dropped the bomb on him."Why? What happened?" Christ thundered, holding his desk for support."He fainted this afternoon in his study, but he has been rushed to the hospital.""Has he been sick? I spoke to him, he was okay, what happened?""I think it was because of the death of Mr Lee. Since he was pronounced dead, the chairman has not been able to speak, until today that he fainted."'Mr Lee dead? What is happening? Why is no one telling me all this? Are my friends not aware of this?'"Jake, what really happened? How is my wife? Where is she?" Christ yelled, and shoved the papers on his desk."Boss, I'm
Anna widened her eyes more, applying a black eyeliner, while Billie sat on the bed watching what she's about to do. After applying the eyeliner, she picked up a black lipstick and painted her mouth with it.She covered up her concealer and tied her hair into a bun before spurning around to look at Billie, whose mouth has been wide open watching Anna dress up, heading to God Knows where."Billie! Billie! Can you hear me?" She snapped out of her reverie, and jerked up from the bed."What were you thinking? Your gaze was on me, but your mind wasn't there." Anna asked in a croaked tone."Nothing. Where are you going dressed like this? What are you planning? You can't go out, have you forgotten you're pregnant?" Billie asked.Anna cast her gaze down, she doesn't believe her father slumped and died, there must have been something that resulted in his death, which she has to find out.Anita and her stepmother must have a hand in it, and she's determined to find out what happened.'How can sh
Ray, Steve, and Billie strode into the hospital Mr Salvador was admitted. They got to the reception area and halt. Ray, being a doctor in the hospital, needed no one's validity to go through the hospital records.The receptionist gave him access to the computer. He scrutinized the hospital records for newly admitted patients. Immediately he confirmed the room Salvador was admittedto, he thanked the nurse and turned to others."He is in the VIP section, let's take the stairs." Ray said. He held Billies hands, and they took the stairs to his room.They got to the room to find Ruth and her two son's outside. Billie hurried to Ruth to comfort her, while the men stayed with both the sons."Has the doctor in charge said anything yet?" Ray asked."Nothing, we have been here since yesterday, but they haven't said a word. They Just keep going in and out." Liam replied."I will be right back." Ray said, and turned towards the room.He knocked and pushed further into the room, and found his coll
Ejimae sat quietly in his car, waiting for Beatrice to meet him outside the compound. He came to pay his condolences to her, and also wanted to question her about the death of her husband.He asked her not to take any drastic action, that he had everything under control. But the sudden death of her husband made him suspect she had a hand in it, which he wants to find out for himself.He was seated waiting for her, when he heard a knock on his car, and he whined the glass down. He pushed the door open, and strode out with a frown face."Did you forget something? The security man said you wanted to see me, I thought you left already?" Beatrice asked, and he shook his head.Ejimae embarked on a silent, his gaze rested on the floor. It got her pondering if something had happened, and he wanted to keep it from her."What have you done, Beatrice? That was never the plan, are you going against me?" Ejimae asked, staring daggers at her.'What is he talking about? Did he call me out to accuse
Christ rested his hands on the door, with his head on his palms, listening to the heart-warming melody song Mr White played as he drove them back to the city.The song reminded him of his wife, and the times they had spent together. It made him miss her much more than he could imagine.Mr White stole glances at him, and shook his head. Since they left his house, Christ hasn't said a word to him, which he didn't bother to strike a conversation.He knew if there's anything he was thinking of right now, it must be his wife. How beautiful it is to have someone who genuinely cares and loves you."If you miss her that much, why don't you call her, maybe she would pick up this time." Mr White finally spoke up.Christ dropped his hands from the door, and turned to look at him. Mr White nodded his head, telling him to go ahead and call her, but Christ knew better than to call."No, I am not convinced that's a good idea, she has been refusing to talk to me. Steve said she asked them not to tell
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
