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
FIVE WEEKS LATERA figure disguised in a black outfit, with a hoodie Covered on his head, stride into the hospital. The place was a bit crowded, and most people were so engrossed with their activities. Nurse's and doctors wandering here and there attending to patient.The figure led his way upstairs to the VIP ward, where patients were admitted. He took some calculated strides, and halt in front of a door. He presses in the code, and snuck his head into the room, scanning both places. When he didn't see a figure, he leisurely walked inside.He strode close to the figure admitted on the bed, and held his hands into his, stroking it softly.'I'm sorry, father, I should have been there to look after you. I'm sorry you ended up like this, I promise to find Mr Lee's murderer and make them feel the same pain you felt'"When do you intend to stop sneaking into the room like this?" He heard and quickly jerked up."Aunt, I never thought I would find you here. When did you walk Inside?" Christ
Anita stride to her office swaying her hips, diverting the worker's attention to her.Since she became the president of the company, she has been sleeping with a few of her male worker's. Those who refused to cajoled to her request, she didn't hesitate to terminate their contract."I'm sorry for keeping you waiting, I had to quickly round up with the staff." Anita said, as she strode into her office."Was it necessary to bring the staff back? Your father terminated their contract because of a reason, why bring them back?" Beatrice asked, while she entangled her both legs."Mother this is my company, father is gone, stop bringing him into decisions I choose to make. And besides, he was never my father." Anita said, and her mother's eyes widened in shock."He was never your father? Can you hear yourself talking? Ashley asked, pushing into her office, and continued. "You're sitting in his company? Why didn't you follow your so-called father? He has been missing for the past five weeks n
Steve put off his car engine, and turned to kaka , who was busy painting red on her lips. He blinked his eyes twice and fixated his gaze on her, staring at her beautiful features.He scans her from head to toe, but wasn't content with the outfit she wore. He felt it was too exposed. It was a mini skirt that stops her mid-thigh and a crop top that covered Just her breasts.He tried to talk her over it, but she didn't give him the attention he needed, and for that reason, he allowed it slide.Kana felt his gaze on her, and spun around to look at him with a smiling face."Why are you staring at me like that?" She asked, pulling him back to the present."I'm sorry if I made you uncomfortable. I thought Mrs Anna was the only beautiful woman on earth, I never knew you were two." He complimented, making her blush.'Was that supposed to be a compliment after staring at me for what felt like forever?' Kaka thought."Mr Steve, is that a compliment? Or there's more to it?" She asked, and place b
Billie rushed to the laundry room, where Anna had been crying. She jerked the door open, hurried inside, and pulled her into a hug. "It's okay, I'm here, don't cry, you will be fine, uncle Christ will be back." Billie mumbled, patting her back. Anna has been coming to the house to cry for the five past weeks since he went missing. Most times, Jake accompanied her, but couldn't stop her. She even went ahead to empty his wardrobe and pack them to the laundry room, which he couldn't explain, and couldn't stop her. Kaka, Steve, and Romeo followed behind, they couldn't believe what they were seeing. The laundry room is shattered with Christ's clothes on the floor. "Isn't this Cenzo's clothes? Why are they in here all messed up?" Kaka asked. "Only Billie can answer that question. She was the one who told me Sis has been coming here at night to cry, I never believe until now." Romeo replied. "She looked fine on the outside, I asked if she was okay countless times, and each time I do sh
Anna rested her palms on her face, while Khalifa breaks down sales the team made for the past two days.They were in the middle of conversing, when her secretary stride inside, and diverted their attention to her."I'm sorry to disturb, some cops are here, they're requesting to see you." She informed."Please, quickly, let them inside." Khalifa responded, she nodded, and walked out.Anna gave him a look of are you supposed to do that, but he shrugged and shook the tip of her nose, which made her chortle.She was about to retort, when they heard a knock, and she permitted them to come inside. Two men came into view, wearing their uniforms."How can I help you?" Anna asked instantly, not giving them room to even exchange pleasantries.The cops looked at each other and nodded. "We're from the station, we found your husband's body, please come with us to the hospital to identify his body.""What do you mean they found my husband's body? Who said my husband is dead? You can't come here with
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
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

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?"

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?
