Anna got off work earlier and drove to her mansion. She parked and walk into the house. Today she wasn't greeted with the scent of food, instead she was greeted with two figure moaning loudly in the house. She hissed, knowing who it was, Khalifa wouldn't do such a thing, he's too religious for this, she thought.
"How many times, will I tell him to stop bringing sluts to my house?" She asked no one in particular.
She walks to Billie's room to find it empty, there was no one in the house. No wonder she didn't call me to inform me of what was happening, she thought. She walks to her room and freshen up, changed into a sweet pants and hoodie.
She strides back to the living room hoping the moaning would have stopped, but each time seconds pass, the moaning increases. She walked to the room where the moan was coming from and knock on it, making Romeo grunt.
He lazily stopped and wore his boxer and shirt before striding to the door.
Immediately he opened the door, his gaze landed on the figure he so wished she wasn't the one.
"Holy cow." He said, and close back the door.
"Who's that Babe?" The brunette asked. He uses his hands to shush her before walking back to the door. "I know you can hear me, come out now." Anna yelled.
Romeo did a little prayer before walking back to the door. He opened it and start to feign pretence. "You're back?" He asked with his gaze down.
"No, I'm still at the office. Is this why you called me to inform me you won't be coming back? For how long are you going to keep being a Playboy, huh? Well, you're not to be blamed, I blame the girls who fall for you."
She walked close to him and grasp his ear.
"I have warned you to stop bringing sluts to my mansion, how many times have I warned you?" She asked and shove his ass back into the room.
"Make sure she's not here when I get back?" She yelled, stride back to her room and got a face cap before walking out of the mansion.
She got to the parking and saw Khalifa striding into the house. "Hey, you can't go in, Romeo is at it again, let's go have dinner at Billies restaurant."
Khalifa was exhy, but he knew better than going to into the house. He quickly strides into the passenger seat, and she drove off.
"Welcome to colors restaurant." A female attendant greeted acting cute hoping to get Khalifa attention.
He ignored her and walk pass Anna.
Anna look at the attendant and shook her head, knowing she had her hoodie on and face cap, no one would recognize her, she lean closer to her and whisper in her ear.
"I'm sorry about that, he's too religious, in the future he plans to be a priest." The attendant burst out laughing, diverting other people's attention that were dining in the restaurant.
"Funny right?" She asked, and the attendant nods her head.
"Don't try too hard, Even if he doesn't become a priest, he might end up becoming a ......"
"I heard that." Khalifa said. He walked back and held Anna's hand. She quietly followed behind like his kid sis.
After getting seated, as expected, Billie walks up to them with a note and pen in her hands.
She halt when she saw it was them, "What are you guy's doing here? You, I know it was your idea bringing her to my workplace." She said, pointing at Khalifa.
Anna chuckled, knowing it was her idea, but she said nothing, she just played innocent.
"It wasn't my idea, it was hers, I just walk into the house, and she suggested we come get something to eat." Khalifa defended himself.
She turns to look at Anna who hasn't said nothing with her gaze down, like a cat got her mouth.
"Sis, is it true?"
"Yeah, it is, Romeo brought a girl to the house, and you know, We couldn't stand him, and there's no food at home, so we came down to see you, and have dinner." Anna responded.
"You're not back, so there's no food. Get me cioppano, Cobb salad, taco with pineapple juice." Khalifa said.
"Make it two." Anna quickly added. She huffed and jotted it down before striding to get their orders. Minutes later she came back accompany by the lady from earlier. She smiled at Khalifa and placed down his food on the table, under it was a note on it.
Billie gave her a side eye look and shook her head, she served Anna her meal, and they strode off.
"What was that for?" Billie asked.
"Oh that, it's just a note, nothing much." She replied before walking off, leaving Billie with her curiosity.
Khalifa pulled out the note and was about to open it when Anna quickly reach for it. She grab it and place it in her pocket.
"Lets eat." Anna said, and removed her face cap, leaving only here hoodie on before she dug in.
Khalifa scoffed and start to eat. They ate quietly with a low sound of song playing in the restaurant. Minutes later they were done. Billie stride back on time and cleared their dishes.
"When are you getting off work?" Khalifa asked.
"Soon, don't think of waiting for me, I will take a cab back home." She responded. And start to pack up.
"We will wait for you, quickly go get change we will be in the parking waiting for you. And bring a takeaway for Romeo, he will need it after all the hard work." Billie just nod her head as she knows once Anna say a word, that's final.
Anna paid up for their meal and the extra before leaving the restaurant.
After the prolonged wait, Billie finally showed up with her mouth pouted like a kid.
"What's up with you? Are you good? Khalifa asked.
"I'm resigning from my job soon, my boss is a pain in the ass, his grumpy." She said, and hopped into the car.
"You should, come work for me, I will pay you handsomely." Anna responded, knowing her company was at the edge of going bankrupt.
"You better don't, I can't deal with two people at the company." Khalifa said making Anna laugh. It certainly would be a pain in the ass to work with both of them.
They arrived home, to find Romeo in the parking, he ran up to them. "What took you guys so long?"
"How did you know, we were on our way?" Khalifa asked, while Anna and Billie just walk pass him.
"Billie texted me, did you get me food." Just as expected, Khalifa thought.
"It's with Billie." He hastens his pace and caught up with her, helping her with the nylons in her hands with a smile on his face. She just huffed and gave it to him.
Anna walks to her room and plopped on her bed, she sighs and start to roll on it with the thought of how to save her company.
"Should I accept his offer or just work hard myself?" She shook her head and stood up from the bed, change into her night wears, and pulled out the letter from earlier.
She opened it and start to read, but didn't get a hint until she saw Christ on it. Immediately realization hit her, her eyes wide open, her lips slightly parted. She let go of the letter and sat on her bed.
"Why should I take care of his work?" She muttered.

In a dark room, a figure is seated with a glass of wine in her hands. Each time she sips from it, a devilish smile spread on her face, while she twirls the glass around. She was proud of what she had done, and the taste to do more keeps making her more persistent.
"Maybe I should have done worst, more than that." She mumbled.
She starts to laugh hysterically until she choked.
She halt and gulped down the whole wine, opened the bottle and poured herself another glass of wine, the devilish smile etched on her face.
She sips the wine and picked up her phone from the glass table, scrolling through it. She dialed a contact and put it on speaker.
"Idiot, where have you been?" She asked in a husky voice, her voice echoed in the room.
The recipient tremble in fear and gulped down nervously making her chuckle. She loves it when she hears people gulp in fear and beg for messy.
"I'm… Sorry boss, I ran.. Out of battery, I have… Been doing what… you…you ask of me, I haven't gotten the time… to charge it." He stuttered.
She starts to laugh hard hearing him stutter while he explains himself. She halt and place the glass of wine on the stool
"Now listen, this should be the last time I call you, the next time you run out of battery you will have to bear the punishment, do you understand?" She yelled, her voice echoed in the room.
"Yes boss, I'm sorry, boss, it won't happen again." He pleaded. He knows better what she can do when you disobey her.
She grits her teeth and smile, proud of herself.
"Now report, tell me everything I need to know, what is she up to?"
"There's nothing suspicious, she's not doing anything about it, I think she's going to let it slide seeing she's reluctant to take any action." He informed.
"She's still a fool just like always, maybe I should have been more harsh on her, only then she would have gotten a sense of responsibility. Keep an eye on her report everything and anything, who she meets and where she goes."
"Yes boss." He said, and she hung up. She stood up and spun around. "It's time to have more fun. If I release the video of her, she's doomed, everything she worked hard for would crumble" She said, laughing hysterically.
"It will be difficult to recognize her in the video, she has changed so much." She heard and turn to look at the figure.
"But I have an idea, follow me." She did as instructed and just followed behind.
Christ dressed in a tux, his light gray hair well combed, his crystal blue eyes beautiful like always, but his face showed no emotion, his expression was dark. Everything felt like someone had pass away, someone had told him, his love one had passed away.His PA stride into the mansion dressed in a black and white suit, his brown hair combed to the side of his head, and his red lips more reddish than usual."Boss, the car is ready." He informed him.Christ took another glimpse at the mirror for the last time before he gracefully walks out of his mansion to the parking.His PA quickly opened the car door for him to get in. He hoped into the driver seat and fasten his seatbelt, and they drove out of the mansion.Seeing his boss not smiling makes him quiver, fear running down his veins, and the least he could think was to stay alive.Christ was ready to face his brothers, they just made a mistake of trying to kill him. He was planning to go easy on them, but since they plan to kill him, h

Lots of love.Billie stride to Anna's room, it's unlike her to still be sleeping at this hour of the day.She knocked on the door, but there was no response. She made the second attempt but still got no reply.She turned the doorknob and stride inside. Her gaze landed on a sleeping Anna with tears streaming down her cheeks, while she talks to herself."Oh no, she's not having the nightmares again." Billie said, and lean closer to her.Anna yelled, and fresh tears started to stream down her cheeks again, making Billie panicked and quickly took a step back.She ran out of the room, and came back with Khalifa and Romeo, breathing heavily as she explains what happened when she came to check up on her."It's the nightmare, we need to quickly wake her up, it will get bad if we don't hurry." Khalifa said, and quickly stepped o
"Ma'am Emjay's restaurant just called, they said to remind you of your meeting." Her secretary informed, her face marred with confusion, she doesn't remember booking an appointment for her. Anna pauses from what she was doing and sigh. 'Why on earth would he make me meet his clients? Is this a way of helping me? Even if it is, is that how to help someone? What on earth are my supposed to discuss with his clients, when I have no clue on what business they had to talk about, I don't even know anything about real estate' 'Why do I have to meet such a dumbass, a jerk. Goodness, I have to survive this' Anna thought. "Is everyone ready?" She asked. "Yes, they're waiting for you." "Okay, what about my brothers?" "They are all in the hall waiting for you." Anna nods and close her laptop. She stood up and lead her way out of the office with her secretary behind her. She walks into the hall and the crowd erupted murmurs. "What's with her outfit, and make up? Is she mourning someone? How
Mr Salvador is seated in the living room, his hands entangled with that of his wife, while she strokes it softly to calm him down.Hearing his son has gone missing and there was no sign of his body makes him panic even more. He blame himself for allowing him go home after their dinner.Perhaps if he hadn't left that late, this wouldn't have happened. He should have asked him to stay back and spend the night in his room, then all this wouldn't have happened, he would still be here with them.His wife has been trying to calm him down, telling him his not to be blame, Christ will be fine, she assured him."You know you're on medication, you're not supposed to be thinking too much, please let's leave everything in the hands of the police, I'm sure they will find him." She said, and tighten her grip on him, hoping she could convince him."Ruth, the police said there was no sign of him or his car, whoever did that to him had everything planned out, you don't expect me to relax when my son is
Khalifa just finished typing the contract Anna ask him to prepare. He printed it out and stride to her office to confirm if there were any additional terms that needed to be added.On his way to her office his phone buzzed, alerting he has a notification. He halt and pulled out the phone from his pocket, then swipe it open. As he read the message, he didn't get to finish it, he hastens his pace to Anna's office.He knocks and waited for respond. Immediately he heard her answered, he flings the door open, march to her desk, pick up the TV control and put it on.The heading news was just as he read from his phone. The cold-hearted billionaire has gone missing. Anna ended her phone call when she saw the news heading, she took a few stride to Khalifa and lean closer to him, her eyes glued to the screen on the wall."Is there someone else known as the cold-hearted billionaire? Tell me he is not the one, no he can't be." Anna said.Khalifa put off the TV and spun around. "Sis, he's the one,
Christ was on the bed, his PA stood by the left-hand side of the bed, worry marred on his face, his eyes swollen from crying. It's been three days already, and christ hasn't woken up, he hasn't moved his body, he has been laying like a dead corpse almost loosing life out of him. If the boss dies, his life his ruined, he has been his supporting bone right from when he turned twenty-two, who is going to help him take care of his unborn child? What will happen to Lucy, her sick mother and sister? He promised to give their child a good life, but now that he's boss is laying lifeless, who will support him? He can't fend for all of them, he thought. Who will be the big brother he has always looked up to? No one can replace him, he's the only person who would crack a joke and still look serious. He was deep in his thought, when he heard a growl that pulled him out of his reverie. He diverted his gaze to where his boss was laying down, and surprised he's eyes were slightly open, he was slow
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
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
