Mrs. Miranda was happy to see us at her house, she even went ahead and offered us a cup of ginger tea with the freshly baked cookies she made. The excitement on her face made it difficult to tell her the truth and much as it killed it to be the one that brings her such a bad news, it was inevitable . "So, why are you here?" She looked at me and then twisted her head back to Luciano..."Oh! We came to visit you and tell you something important". Luciano took the courage to speak, even though it silently killed him from inside.."Okay, what happened?". She gave him the chances to speak..When his hands and legs suddenly began to shake, he was in an uncomfortable position.."Ma'am! Do you remember the time your daughter died?". He stopped there.."Yeah, what about it?". She answered his question by asking another.."Okay, " he took a dramatic pause before continuing to speak, " ma'am, I was the one that hit her with my car that very night, I am so sorry!!". Luciano lowered his
We met Hassan on his way out , he wasn't surprised to see us, and it was a little bit suspicious that he wouldn't, perhaps he has been expecting us ."Good morning to you both"..He shut his front door and smiled at Luciano and myself.."Hey, can we talk?". Luciano step forward and politely asked him..."Talk? About what?". He asked and I watched him roll his eyes.."The court summon, please reconsider "..Luciano pleaded with me and went Futher to folded his arms as a sign of respect..Unfortunately, Hassan refused to grant him his request, and instead of talking more about it, he had such a rude behaviour that almost made me smack him in the head." Hey!". I came forward only to get dragged behind by my husband..He warned me not to say anything and as much as I would've loved to give Hassan a piece of my mind, it was evident that he wasn't going to listen and we would end up meeting each other at the court..At home my mom and Luciano's wanted to know the outcome of our visit to
It was some few hours after dinner, Justin and Luciano came back home. I noticed that the look on their faces was to dull that it was evident that something might've happened, perhaps, did he refuse to take the cash?."Hey, how did it go?"..I wasn't willing to wait and so I asked them. The question was mostly for my husband to answer, however Justin can aw well answer too ."Good, he agreed to take the money".Luciano sat on the couch and then requested for a glass of water to be brought to him..In the room, I had questions of my own and Luciano was more than willing to tell me everything that happened, inculding the outrageous amount he had asked for the first time the topic came into discussion..I shouldn't be surprised that Hassan would end up being a prick, which he has always been, at least to me, I'm just sad that he'd be able to sell of his own son and not worry about it.. What an asshole!Luciano wanted us the following morning to leave for a family trip, at least for t
I looked at the family pictures of Luciano's dad and in all of the pictures, he looked so happy, most especially the time they celebrated Luciano's Birthday..Afterward, went back to bed..The following day, I had no idea that it was the death anniversary of my father-in-law, no one else knew apart from my mother-in-law and the few workers at the mansion...Mom asked me to accompany to the store the moment I stepped out from my bedroom, I had no idea that she only did that as way In letting My Mother-in-law and her son tackle on the arrangement for tonight's death anniversary, I even had to endure staying with my mom for the entire Day and didn't even bother to call home or find an excuse to go away. A few hours later, Mom and I finally came back from the store and the entire decorations has been done, and that included the clothes We'd wear for tonight's gathering. .An all black attire, an outfit preferably for death anniversaries and moaning of a lost one .."Shall we go?" Luci
We celebrated Ethan's success and it was a good thing that he was leaving for a football scholarship for a month.."I like that Ethan's leaving very soon"..Luciano expressed to me his proud moment.."Yes, I feel he's ready to be on his own". I said , grabbed my night gown and went to the bathroom to change."Obviously, his a grown man"..The conversation continued even after I came out of the bathroom. He went in after me and shortly after , came out dressed in his night pajamas..We laid next to each other, our hands and legs tied together in bed, my hand was on top of his chest when I suddenly reminded him of what happened to Gena..He suggested that after the holiday we'd go over and pay our respect to her grave, and I thought why not. Since we couldn't be there during her burial.The following day, I went out for my morning routine jogging, and on my way back home, I talked with Justin on the phone. I wanted to ask him about Gena's case, even though it's been days since the ac
I called Hassan as requested and he strangely fell for our tricks, Justin in his egoistic behaviour was so adamant that he was willing to take matters into his own hand and personally accompany me for the arrest and also to save my son from the evil clutches of his father. Luciano followed as a form of mortal support but it would be Justin that would be doing all the work..Hassan wanted us to meet in an old building, alone and he also warned me against getting anyone inculding the police involved, and because of that, I was skeptical about following up with Justin crazy plan; we might arrive here and Hassan might not be even there, perhaps a strategy to lure me out or a test?.."Hey, Hassan?"..I got to our place of meeting.There was no one apart from myself, and as I went further, he was seated on the only available couch in the sitting room.."Good evening , Sophia". He glanced around, making sure that I was alone even though Justin and Luciano are outside waiting on my command
JUSTIN POV.I had to leave Sophia alone after her hurtful words to me, it was as if she wanted an immediate and fast Search of my godson, I am aware of the fact that, Ethan's been forcefully held my his biological father, I also have to investigate about the sudden and strange demise of Mrs. Gena . Everyone in town feel like her death was shady and with the evidence pilling up in her favour, I had no choice than to open a case and investigate about her death. "I'll be right back"..I had to leave the mansion since everyone had their faith in me. I couldn't find out what to do and in as much as I would've loved to find my godson, looking for his father was the one way to get to him..I came back to the crime scene, I had too..The entire place has already been confiscated by the police, but with my police badge, I was granted access and go through the entire place.."Sir! What are you doing here?". Gwen Stefani, my assistant came there as well. She was also carrying a tabloid in h
We successfully arrived at the our destination, the address took us to a food joint, at the beginning, I got a little skeptical about going inside because what would I be doing Inside of a good joint when I should be looking for a criminal..Nevertheless, Gwen was Adamant and she wanted to go in and check, so I had no choice than to follow her, we got Inside the food joint and realised that it was an apartment, running so shadly and something was off about the place ."I'll be back". I said to Gwen as I moved towards the rooms upstairs. I had this feeling of walking through the walls and as much as I wouldn't want to be seen in such a place, I had to thoroughly find my godson. I got through the entire rooms and there was nothing shady, or so I thought?. I was about leaving when I heard a familiar voice whimpering for help from the room behind my back, I had to turn back and knock the door out and right there sitting on the cold floor was Ethan and some other girls tied up and kept l
The entire day ran by with Richard demoting every of my comments, especially the one when Mrs Mathilda had asked me about how it feels getting engaged to a man like her nephew At first I did think of crushing Every ideal that had about Richard being a good husband material, however before I could even get a chance to speak, Richard rushed and diverted the conversation over to himself. Seated at the couch and after having dinners, I could literally count the times I heard Richard praising himself in the midst of both his uncle and aunt..Some few hours later, by nine in the evening, Mrs Mathilda walked both Richard and myself into the our bedroom_ I should have suspected that since we were about getting married, we'd literally be sharing a room together. We walked into one of the big rooms next to another with our bags."So, this is where you'd be sleeping, do you like it,?" Asked Mrs. Mathilda.."Yes ma'am, it's a lovely bedroom," I answered.When Richard walks behind, I turned a
I bearly got close whene he takes out a hand back and stopped me from approaching another step closer to his bench."What are you doing here, go away Beatrice,!" He spoke moving gestures at me.."No! I won't," I stepped a feet forward, " what do you think you're doing, why are you drinking,?". I asked when he turned back and latched out on my face.."Are you seriously asking me,!" He yelled getting up from the bench, he takes a feet forward my way but tripped over his other feet, he falls down hitting his hands on the ground."Hey, please be careful," I said as I tried to assist."Don't touch me Beatrice,!" He pulled his hands away from touching me..He leaned the other on the benches hand and got back up to his two feet."It's all your fault, you caused this,". He admits to my face, moving forward with his hands out to get me..I leaned back."What do you mean, because trust me I do not think I am the cause of everything, you're the entire reasons why your dad is hell bent on di
When we got down to from the car after reaching the office, I went first to meet Mr Smith, he turns and gave me an alluring smile as we both approached the door to the elevator that led to his office..Richard tells he had to pick up some documents by the finance department and so was the first person to leave_ Mr Smith and I went up and as we reached the second floor, he and I stepped out together_ I look while walking further to his office, Mr Smith had his hands tied on to the other, there was something definitely strange happening..We got to his office."Thank you, Beatrice," he tells going inside."You're welcome sir," I said moving past his office door, I was just some few steps closer to my office when I remembered I was still holding unto the documents he had asked me to bring along_ I turned going back to give him the document, I knock on the door and as I walked Inside, I met Mr Smith on the ground, shaking_ the way epileptic patients does ..Fear gripped me_ I throw away
We both reached home after the Photoshoot, I went to the kitchen to get a glass of water while Richard went up to his bedroom instead, I brought out a bottle water from its can and emptied it in a go, I turned back to Leave, I wasn't expecting to see anyone but I caught Mr Smith by the kitchen table, resting his hand to his head, and was looking right at me."Good day Beatrice, I see you're back,?" He puts his hand away but drops it on the table.."Good day sir, and yes I'm back,". I walked some few steps away from the fridge_ Mr Smith Shakes his head at me.."That's good and yes," he takes a look by the door checking to see if anyone was approaching before finishing his statement."I've been hoping to speak with you alone, Beatrice" he tells Me.."What exactly sir hope everything is okay,?" I said thinking out loud.."Yes ," he affirms, "however I've been wanting to say thank you for everything," he walks away from the kitchen table coming to me."Thanks for what sir,?". I asked."T
I went to my bedroom to change, a dress was already at my bed waiting for me, later I got downstairs on Mr Smiths behest, I walked down and went straight to the couch reserved specially for Richard and myself.I was the first to seat down, when Richard was forcedly pushed to the couch by his dad, Mr Smith gently careessed my cheeks before leaving."You're at fault for Everything happening," Said Richard as he blamed me for everything "I'm sorry, so I look.like I am enjoying everything that's happening,?" I slowly moved my mouth to his ears who he could hear me properly."Oh please," Richard grunt and pulls away from getting close to me, "you're mostly enjoying this,". He tells latching his eyes away..."You must be a Lunatic," I said and faced away from himAt the couch, Mr Smith later comes over, he held my hand and that is his son and walked both of us to the center of the party.He made us face the guests there and announced once again about the engagement.The rings was brough
After searching for Richard , and not a sign of him coming anywhere, it was getting late, like so late, I couldn't fit further to search for him again, I decided to go back home and maybe try to call him..I can count the time I phoned him,yet his number kept on sending me to voicemail.I wonder where he could have been?...The next morning, I slept sleeping at the center of my bed, just then , I overheard Mr Smith screaming, I didn't get to think two times about going down to see what was happening, I came downstairs and found him scolding his son..His grown up son_ Richard, who's head was bent down from his dad's angry gaze..."How can you be this stupid, have you lost your goddam mind,,?". Said Mr Smith as he approached his son, whacking his head_ Richard didn't take the chance to retaliate or even speak back to his father..He stood there allowing his dad to hit him countless times, what's happening?.. Mr Smith saw me approaching to his direction, he again slapped his son and f
I buried myself with work untill the entire day ended and it was time to head back home, Mr Smiths mansion..I left the office riding back with a cab, I came down walking inside, when I noticed the ongoing decorations around the entire mansion.I walked ahead, bumping into Richard. As usual he had this resentful look at me, but didn't quite say anything rude; even when I asked too know what was going on with the decorations.."There's going to be a party, dad wants you too attend also,".. he said and left going outside of the mansion Walls..Alone, I walked to my bedroom, I came inside and on my bed, there was a dress lying on it_ I approached and picked it up , when a tiny bite fell off from the dress_ I bent down and picked it up, having to see that Mr Smith had sent me the dress, at the note, he wanted me to attend the party dressed in the royal blue gown...Later that day, at the party, I came downstairs joining the others, I wore Mr Smith dress and as I approached him talking to
New pov Like my name , I'm regarded to be a flower, the colour of my family, my dad and mom, dad passed on some few months ago and it's left only mom and myself_ I see her longing to be with dad at every given opportunity, she almost had herself killed, accidentally falling down the stairs_ alone, I made up my mind to employ a maid that was going to take care of her, while I tackle my work_ Mr Richard's company, Richard is dad's godson, he is the definition of a rude and abrupt man, least I forget totally demanding.I still remember the day I went for an interview at his dad's company, Mr Smith had no complain in working with me and as his assistant_ definitely not his son, bit Richard held such a defense against it and almost made me loose the job, a Job I bearly started on.But Mr Smith being his calm and understanding self, he decided to over look his sons, nasty and childish behavior, he went further and handed the job of being his assistant to him_ PA. Personal assistant.I wa
My mom and I were given the visitors room to stay in, she thanked Mrs Sophia before letting her leave the room.."Are you sure about this?"..I had to let Mrs sophia leave the room before asking my mom..She keeps quiet and that occurs then there are no more ideas in her mind, she keeps calm and watch things happen..." Let's just get settled in" She doesn't say much and just went to bathroom to freshen up. I changed into something more comfortable and then went to the living room, Ethan and his parents were seated on one of the couches, Mrs Sophia saw me coming and invited me to sit with them. "Hey! You good"..Ethan came over after sometime and asked me the question. "Yeah! What do you mean!". I faced him and asked that question. He slowly shook head and intentionally changed the subject; there wasn't any else to say, I stood up and went upstairs to the bedroom..I was there when Mrs Sophia came.."Megan, are you alright?".She asked me questions I do not have answers too _ wa
