"What was the next-door lady saying to you?"Theo side hugged Alice as a welcome pet. He did hear some voices out in the passage of their apartment; he just didn't feel the need to go out, knowing fully well that among those voices one was Alice's, so he didn't bother."That was not our neighbor Theo, it was Emiliana" It was more like talking about her or calling Emiliana's name made Alice feel so tired."What does she want?" Theo got a little pissed"I don't know, am not sure of what she wants but she did mention how she was here to lend me some advice""Which was?""You know, she came blabbing on how I should leave Valentino alone and that I will get screwed out sooner than later"Alice rolled her eyes at her explanation."I can't even remember how you got yourself into this sh**ty contract but trust me I don't think the pay is worth the trouble, I mean how did Emiliana get to know where you stay?""Maybe some investigators did give her my address or she must have run a background che
Everyone stood amazed at the display, the servants had their jaws drop. Jamie had refused Xavier's orders which felt like a death sentence to most of the servants.Jamie was surprised and utterly speechless at how Xavier must have gained the guts to drag her back like she was one of his possessions that he could drag around the way he wanted, she was shocked at first but after they had exchanged a long-term stare, Jamie became certain that Xavier now fears nothing just like his Mom. She tried dragging her hand away from Xavier's grip but he seemed to have held on to it so right that her efforts felt effortless."Xavier, what's your problem with me?" Jamie turned to face him fully and with a low tone, she asked. Xavier laughed a bit before responding to the question."Do you think I have a problem with you? Is that what you think? Oh then you must be so dumb and sick in the head" Rita busted out into laughter, she laughed while Xavier joined her."Son, I told you right? She's as sick a
Alice no longer knew what to think right now, it never crossed her mind that they could be setting up a marriage for her which was never going to happen with or without her consult. She didn't want to bring her mom back into the picture but since she was the one who had asked her to be here for this dinner date that meant she had lots and lots of explanations to make. Alice took up her phone and dialed her mom's number not even trying to consider her position right now."What are you doing?" Theo stared at Alice for a long while just to understand what was going on in her head but it all was to no avail. He didn't know what to think anymore as Alice was busy dialing someone's number."My mom, I need to get these things straight" Alice replied and waited for Jamie to pick up the call. Theo sat still together with Alice waiting for Jamie to pick. He wasn't sure if it was a good idea to give her a call now and right here in the hotel but since Alice was already set on doing so and he wo
The tension in the room was something inevitable for Tullah, she could watch Saul burn in flames which depicted that at this verge he could do anything to her right now. She bit down on her lips nervously as Saul stood right in front of her holding the vase she had spent her savings to buy. "Now will you tell me how this happened and who bought it or should I let loose of this on your head?" Saul asked, pointing the glass vase directly to Tullah's face who was already seated on the floor with a bleeding nose. "Saul all I have ever wished for is to continue working so I can be competent enough to endorse you with our home snouts, is that so much to request for?" Tullah let out bitterly. At this point, Tullah had these feelings of regrets written all over her at this wink, she couldn't wish for anything more than going back to her parents though she knew they would never take her back in, "Who would have?". She has been facing some ups and downs with Saul ever since they moved into
Normally, the Maryland maternal hospital is always a crowded place filled with people with different diseases, infections, health issues, or others. Stepping into the hospital with fewer people seen than usual was a huge surprise and a relief as well. "At least, I won't wait in line this time around," Tullah said to herself. She walked over to the nurse's table to book an appointment with the doctor and luckily for her, the doctor was free for her now so she headed in with no delays. "Good morning doctor" She greeted as the doctor ushered her to sit on his office couch. "Good morning to you young lady, how may I help you?" The doctor asked even without lifting his eye away from the papers he had been looking at when Tullah had walked in. He was more focused on those papers than he was on the lady who was sitting in his office. Tullah noticed how drawn the doctor was to those papers that he was finding it difficult to concentrate on her, so she seized the opportunity to stare aro
Saul got so furious that he immediately pushed forward towards Tullah, his thick steps made Tullah so afraid."Saul please don't, please." He grabbed Tullah by the wrist and drew her away from the wall with force which got her landed to the floor in no time."How dare you? Did you bite my lips for kissing you? Now I will show you the real punishment" He bent over and slapped Tullah so hard on the face that she screamed in pain."What the fuck…." Saul cursedSaul stared furiously at Tullah for a long time before approaching her in a rush, he took hold of her wrist and dragged her up, along to the basement."Saul, please let go of my hands" Tullah let out as she was forcefully dragged away. She already knew this was it, Saul was used to locking her up in the basement for a whole day once she'd done something to him. At the point Tullah was tired of screaming, she knew nothing could stop Saul from locking her up but kept on trying."Saul, please let go of me!" She let out a whisper but w
Waking up to the brightness of the sun, shielding its way into the comfort of the room, lighting up the space, made the sleeping beauty realize that it was morning.Tullah yawned her way out of bed, she was already used to going to school late so she didn't bother checking the time instead she walked lazily into the bathroom, washed herself up, and got dressed for school.Aside from the fact that Tullah's Mom, Mrs. Naomi is a vicious woman, she never fails to make breakfast and dinner for the family. That should be more reasons why Mr. Richard has refused to divorce her yet.Tullah made her way down the stairs and to the dining only to find her Mom setting the table as usual."Good morning" Tullah greeted her without taking a glance at her Mom and also wasn't expecting a return to her greeting which she never got like always. She sat on the table and waited for her breakfast to be served while she scanned the whole room in search of her father, only to find him sitting at his favorite
"Tullah, get down here now" Mrs. Naomi screamed right through the living room, where Mr. Richard was also sitting while they waited for Tullah to join them, Noami walked over to the kitchen counter where her bag was and took out a big brown envelope that contains some papers which are yet to be reviewed.Tullah matched down to the living room only to find both her parents with her Dad sitting while her mom stood right next to the television, one looking at their mean faces could obviously see the pressure between them. She smiled awkwardly at them before taking a seat next to her Dad. She waited for her mom to break the news because she had always been the one doing that ever since her Dad lost his job."We are getting a divorce" Mrs. Naomi let out without a break of an eye, she threw the envelope over to the table for Tullah and her husband to have a look."What??. I mean, you didn't discuss this with me first, why?" Mr. Richard broke out angrily, he stood to his feet and took the en

Theodore am home" Alice screamed as she unlocked the door to her apartment.After the air had been cleared with Valentino feeling free from the tension between him & Alice. Alice also had made herself clear, she came down to the living room and met Dominic going through some paperwork."Hey babe" Alice greeted. Dominic raised his head to see Alice emerging towards him, he suspended the papers he was with and tossed them to a side."How are you feeling?" Dominic asked, having noticed that she was coming out from Valentino's office which means that they must have resolved the issues between them."Yes, I'm fine, can I get a ride home please?" Alice looked exhausted and Dominic saw that too, so he didn't wait for her to ask again. He was already on his feet, calling on some servants to take Alice's box to his car while he went and got his car key."Let's go, babe" Dominic headed his way out of the house while Alice followed behind." When next are you coming over to the house?"Dominic fig
Alice ended the call once he was done with her mom she"What was she talking about? Who are you going on a dinner date with?" Theo asked as he realized that Alice was no longer on phone with her mom. He didn't understand what was going on, so he had to wait for Alice to be through with the call."Some random guy that I don't know anything about and she won't give me details on him not untill am done with the date" Alice reply still in her state of confusion."And when is the date? How are you even supposed to go meet someone with having a picture of them or stuff?" Theo was starting to get irritated by this set of arrangements. At some point, he didn't want to think of Jamie as a thoughtless person considering where she was. Anyone that didn't know better will equrraly think that Jamie wasn't trustworthy.Alice sat still thinking of what to do, she has two options right now which were either she goes for the dinner date or stay put and wait for whatever that was going to happen which
Valentino didn't understand why he said Alice was the problem, he stood there as confused as things were. Valentino wasn't someone who did not have the answer to every question but right now, he still couldn't find a way to explain so, he had to run away before Alice recovered from her shock and started asking him unstoppable questions that had no answer.Alice was a bit confused and didn't know how to respond to that, she had to rethink to understand what he meant by "You". How come suddenly Alice is now the problem?" How am I the problem? Did I do anything wrong thattoesheconfusese me so much?" Alice was about to tell Valentino how confused she was right now when he walked away and just as he left, Dominic came out of nowhere."Hey babe, How is it going?" Dominic knew Valentine could be a douchebag most times, so seeing Alice looking so worn out wasn't an issue."Am super cool, how is it going with you as well, have you heard from Emile since she left?"Alice asked cause she didn't k
I object" The audience became chaotic immediately when they saw and noticed the lady who stood to object to the marriage. All the stares and looks went over to where she stood, most women were already crushing on her, while others were just left in awe."I am Emiliana Henry" She chuckled. "Both of you thought you could screw me over right? You rejoiced that you had toasted me to a side and I was never going to come near but guess what I have good news "Emiliana approached Alice and Valentino while she split all her words out in disgust."Emiliana, let's talk about this after the wedding please"Valentino rushed over and held Emile by the arm. She pushed herself away from Valentino."Oh funny. Now you want to talk about it, No talk about what? Is it the part that you tried to screw me over or the part that I am two weeks pregnant Valentino?" Valentino was speechless. At the hearing of this, everyone stood to their feet, some started leaving the church while the others lingered around to
Dominic sat by the window flank in the cafe he was in while waiting for Alice once she got there, Dominic had explained everything that happened at Emiliana's house."You had to do what you could, why would he be angry? It's not like his into Emile" Alice didn't get the part that had explained to her about how furious Valentino would be once he finds out that Dominic had s*x with Emile."Valentino has this sense of him that refuses to agree or accept anything that has to go with taking advantage of a situation. Just after the incident with Elizabeth, he has been against so many fortes" Dominic elucidated."Ok I guess he was made to learn the hard way and right now he will also have no other option than to formulate this one as well. Let's go"Alice stood up, carried her purse, and walked out of the cafe while Dominic tailed behind her. They got to the house but before Alice could open the door Dominic stopped for a talk."Can you please pretend I didn't say a thing to you? Please?" He
