Rita has a hidden agenda for Jamie which she ( Jamie ) clearly could see through her. She has been on a mission of making up with Jamie regardless of how stupid Jamie made her look each time she tried to make up with her but she couldn't give up because she was on a mission to make Jamie trust her again and then will she get closer to her enough to find something to screw her over with which Jamie wasn't making the task easy for her.Jamie avoided Rita with all her possible best, she only had been on George's neck about getting her an apartment in Alice's name. She was doing her best to see that things fell into place for her so she could be able to leave the Fax family house, the Fax group of companies, and everything about the Fax but George was delaying everything which was seriously becoming annoying to Jamie.On the day Alice called, Jamie had come back from work as usual and was done with dinner. She went into her room without having any other chores to do for the day, she took
Jamie knew beforehand that she wasn't safe any longer, she had lesser chances of survival right here in the Fax family house most especially with Xavier finally present. She stayed in her room and waited for everything to end, she missed Alice but knew calling her at this point could put them in danger so she didn't dare. Jamie thought of what would happen after the dinner. Since Rita had caught her in George's office discussing issues of an apartment to be bought in Alice's name, she has always reminded her one thing. "Xavier will be back before you know it and bet it he will make you suffer for your sins. You will pay for everything and anything you have ever done to me, just get yourself ready" These she always said. Rita had saw it as an inappropriate thing to do via fighting or beating Jamie up when she knows that job made easy was on the way or rather still she feared hitting Jamie again cause after the last time she had attempted such, it came back as a heavy blow to her fac
Alice slept quietly all through the night and with the help of the drinks, she couldn't get her head up and out of the bed even as she had woken up. She waited for Theo to come knowing fully well that he would be knocking at her door as soon as possible. A few minutes later, Theo came knocking at Alice's door as expected. He accessed the room even without Alice responding to him, just like Theo would always make Alice a hangover soup just for drinking into a stupor last night, here he was with a place of handover soup and some side dishes. Alice laid still, she didn't move her body not because she didn't want to but because she couldn't. The headache she had was a result of last night's scream and stress from the dinner house. Knowing that Alice came back only to engage herself in a drinking session made everything worse."Good morning Babe" Theo greeted as he dropped the tray on top of the bedside cupboard and faced Alice while waiting for her to sit up on the bed."Fine morning hon
William couldn't help but watch the drama between Theo and the guy that just came in and surprisingly the guy kissed Theo right in front of him. Liam's mind went off, he had never imagined another person kissing Theo talk more of being an eye witness to the scene. He got so pissed as he saw the guy looking at him with his sides eyes."Oh I guess you are doing this because of me?" Liam thought to himself, he kinda was talking to the guy with his eyes but since he didn't want to speak up he only decided to keep quiet."And who is this Theo?" Both voices were heard. Theo got confused to a point that he couldn't detect or say what was going on. First of all Liam showing up at his place asking for forgiveness with hugs and kisses were all on a different level but with Tony appearing from no where, approaching him with a kiss was also another level as well and the most confusing part was, "Tony had made it clear to me that he doesn't do guys so what now happened? What changed? Or did he get
Dominic drove into the compound and to the parking lot, they departed out of the car and went consecutively into the living room. Valentino thought of telling Dominic what had connived between him and Emiliana's father."So, Mr. Henry imperiled to eliminate anything that would impede Emiliana from getting married to me"Valentino spilled."What? I mean who the f**k do these people think they are? First, it was Emiliana and now it's the father. We need to start working towards the plan before things get out of hand" Dominic was losing his cool, getting tensed and worked up. They had to play off with these plans of theirs "Say something boss""OK let's do this" Valentino had to think back to what his father had said to him but then again thinking can spoil things for them so he had to do this his way. Dominic rushed into his room, Went straight to his mirror table in search of something. He had to find this now and there it was, he took the tablet and went back to the living room where V
Theo walked up to the space where Alice and Josh were, he noticed they were discussing about something but wasn't sure on how serious it was and how far they have gone with what every they were talking about."Hi am Theodore" Theo walked "So Theo what relationship do you have with Alice?" Josh asked with a grin on his face. Alice didn't know why Josh was acting cocky which was really pissing her off.Theo thought of the question and reasons why Josh would ask such a question "I am Alice's…….." Theo smiled as he looked at Alice which she smiled back to him. Before Theo could reply to Josh's question Alice beat him to it."Theo is my husband" Alice said to Josh. She chuckled at sound of her saying she had a husband.Josh immediately felt a sting in his heart being pulled which cause a slight but painful tint on his chest. He was slowly getting to like Alice but the ideal of Alice never being his was all lit if place which he couldn't take. Josh felt the jealousy build up to his throat
Days went by, the dinner date was made and sent to Alice by Jamie. Alice had patiently waited inside the comfort of her house for the dinner day to come by quickly and finally, here it was "The D-Day".Yesterday, before Alice had gotten the message, she was busy with her laptop setting up for another contract to be signed when she got a message beep in her phone. Without much expectation, she picked up the phone and looked up the sender's information, and behold it was from her Mom. Right there in an instant, she knew it was time she got to meet with these half family of hers. Most especially her supposed to be "Stepbrothers". Only at the thought of having a stepbrother, Alice rolled her eyes ironically.She dropped her laptop on the couch, and approached Theo's room, even without a knock she was always welcomed so she barged in without knocking on the door."Guess what?" Alice sat comfortably on Theo's bed. The young man sat up and dropped his laptop to focus on Alice."What?" Alice
Alice was a bit surprised to see the sender's name "From Valentino". She wasn't expecting this but she kinda knew it was going to be for something anyways. Alice opened the box and unwrapped the surface of the stuff to get a better view of what was inside. Finally, she got to the point where you could see what was inside, and surprisingly it was a lemon strapless dress with some matching jewelry. She couldn't believe that Valentino sent her the dress, so she stood to her feet and dragged the dress ripped out of the box only to see that it was a short dress which made it look sexier and more like her style. "This looks beautiful" Theo came out screaming from his room."How did Valentino get to pick out something this unique?" Alice turned over to face Theo as he approached her."Right! It looks exactly like my style" Alice smiled and put the dress on her body just to see how much the color blends in with her skin. Theo went closer to the box, looked into it, and saw some special jewelr
Mike sat on the edge of the old worn-out couch, he fingers furiously twinning together. He glanced at Velerio, who stood by the window, looking out into the bright morning sunset. The office had this unsettling air as the tension grew the more.Mike and Velerio have been friends for over the years now, navigating the ups and downs of life with the kind of easy that only a deep understanding could bring most especially when it comes to Velerio, the Ahpla and his problems.There was a tension simmering beneath the surface, which both of them had acknowledged."Valerio, you know we need to talk about this" Mike finally said as he raised his head up to face his Ahpla with his gray eyes clouded with frustration.Valerio signed knowing exactly what he meant. "Mike I don't think there is anything to talk about" He turned away from the window and walked over to his desk where he stood right beside the table with his glare fixed on Mike.Mike took a deep breath struggling to keep his voice cal
Name your price. "Valantino busted out quietly, his cold voice made Alice snapped out of her thoughts to look into the daring green eyes that seeked a quick response from her.Like who the hell is this guy?Alice Greenwood had earlier walked into the restaurant with her shoulders straight, chin and elbows up in an observation mood.Alice was dressed to kill, with her expensive faux jacket, the five inches heel she wore made her stand out from any normal woman in the restaurant was. The short sleeveless gown did nothing but to highlight how good she would be if she was a model. The gown was glued to the body like it's part of her. To cut the story short, Alice was beautiful and she knew it and argued herself along with the charisma that came with looking so endearing. Alice stood tall, as her eyes scanned over the place, glimpsing to where she would find her new client , she got overwhelmed just to figure out that she would do better on her own since her companion was yet to dock. Eve
The door was banged open only just for a tiny but classic creature to apprehend into the room, Theo who was right at the door became curious about the lady" Who the hell is she?"Theo thought to himself. "Hello, Miss Alice Greenhood" A tiny and quiet voice was heard, Alice froze at the sound of the voice, How would she ever forget this voice "How dare this witch step her feet into my mom's ward and say my name.?" she walked over to Alice like she was here for her."Longest time, daughter of a mere dumb mistress" Alice looked over with a spark in her eye, she felt so angered."Hello, to you too Mrs. Rita Goerge, I can't believe you look worse than the last time I saw you and when was that again.?"Alice complimented her with a smile toying on her lips which displayed disgust and anger. The smile went off Rita's face as soon as Alice replied to her in such a rude tone on her voice and, was she supposed to say 'thank you' for the painful compliment she had given her or what."I guess you
STILL ON GEORGE'S POV.Remembering the past between I and Jamie made me regret what I did and what I have done. I know they say the did has already been done and tgere is no going back, I have always wished she could give me a chance to correct my mistake. Though it makes me happy most times to know that I have a daughter and am sure Jamie won't allow it not believe me but I know how much I wish to spend time with her, cherish her and make her feel a fathers love. Rita has always been my problem, ever since she got herself engaged with my business, it only made me discipise her more than anything. I have always wanted what was best for Jamie but Rita was always in the way and me being a selfish person who only cares about money couldn't bare losing Rita for some mere love so I don't engage myself on anything concerning Rita martreating Jamie even up till date.When I noticed Jamie had chosen a tougher part of fighting up against Rita, I got sacred and knew that at this point I needed
"Don't you think it's time you wake up? Am weak, I need to run around. WAKE UP BRENDA..!!!!!!" Brenda sluggishly turn over to a side."I need to get more sleep, go away" Brenda's sleepy voice yawned.Just as she was ready to get back to sleep, a loud alarm bell rang into her ear which made her quickly open her eyes. She jumped up from her bed with her heart racing so fast, wiped her eyes and tried calming herself down after realizing it was just a dream. She layed back on her bed and shut her eyes to help her racing heart stop."Get up Brenda" She heard a tiny voice speak in her head. This time around it sounded so real to her as she flipped her eyes open. She jumped away quickly from her bed and walked over to the mirror where she stood for a few minutes with her eyes closed."Brenda, it's me" "Ariya?""Is that my name? It sounds cute, I like it" Ariya replied in a faint tone."Arrrhhhhhhhh……….. Mom.. Ariya is here" Brenda screamed as she raced herself down the stairs to the kitchen
The sun was so harsh that it could tear up someone's skin. The roads were quite busy as usual not minding the sun and it's unfriendliness towards the earth.Alice drove straight back to the hospital, she for sometime thought that she had forgotten something but didn't know what that was so she only proceeded with her push to the hospital. Getting there she went straight to her mom's ward, opened the portico and entered only to find the place empty. She couldn't get what was going on, she rushed out and went consecutive to the place one of the nurses stood" Hello, pls do you know the where about of the woman that was in this ward?" she pointed at the ward door, the nurse shook her head to the left and right in response to her question. She went straight to the doctors office only to discover that her mom has been discharged by some kind of people."But why did you let them take my mom?"She couldn't help but yell at the doctor."She personally agreed to go with them. At first I didn't h
Valantino didn't really know what to say to his parents with the impression they are exhibiting but Alice knowing her job and what she is been paid for actually chiped in as soon as he needed her help."I was really the one that argued him not to disclose me yet cause it took me time to accept the fact that I was dating someone as influenced and sweet like him, Am so sorry Ma."Alice said looking at valantino with so much passion written all over her face. Valantino's mom raise an eyebrow at Alice and paused while staring at her.Alice didn't really realize why she was getting those hurtful stares "Did I say something.?" Alice thought to herself then turned to fully face Mrs frost, not until she traced back to the moment when she first entered the place, Mrs frost specifically asked Alice to address her as Annabelle not Ma or Mrs frost."Am so sorry Annabelle, I guess it skipped my mind once again"She grilled at Mrs frost and continued."Mrs Annabelle I didn't know you guys were this g

"What in the world has gone wrong this time around?"Alice was already well dressed so she freaked out to Valentino's house. On getting there she went into the room like she owned the place, the house was dead silent, and Alice needed to move into the living room to know what was going on. "Hey babe" Alice went over to where Valentino sat and side-hugged him as she sat alongside "What's going on, why is nobody talking? And babe why are you suddenly back from the hospital?" Alice looked over to her contracted mother-in-law."Mom?""Alice, I think you should come upstairs with me so we can talk"Valentino dragged Alice out of the living room. Alice's eyes were all over just until her eyes settled on a lady seated right beside Valentino's dad with a huge smile on her face. Alice stared at her more before she was finally on the stairs, out of the room and the lady also had a firm watch at Alice as well."Drop the act, what's going on?"Alice questioned right before they had entered Valentino
