"Sir, we should go back home"..Jason told me the moment he finished arranging the documents on my table..And ever since I found out that, I am not the biological father of Ethan, I don't have anything against Sophia and her son, nevertheless, it doesn't cover the fact that my wife, Hannah, lied to me. She made me believe for years that I was the father and of Ethan, even though I wasn't and she can't even give me children..."Let's go". I told Jason and we left..It wasn't meant to be as annoying it would be , but my decision to marry Sophia is f

I gently tapped his shoulders and pushed him away from continuing hurting my breathing oesophagus. The helpers went in with his bags, precisely a ten luggage bags he must've brought from his way back from the business trip he had gone.

"Oh my god! Brother-in-law!!?"....Speak of the devil, she came down elegantly dressed like she was going to seduce my brother.."Sister-in-law! How are you... Damn! You
At the office, Hannah's approval to my marriage with Sophia came has a shock to me. She had been against my marriage to her best friend, however, why the sudden change of mind, perhaps did she have a talk with Chris and he advised her to agree to my demands? Something's definitely wrong.I had to close early from work to be able to come back home and see to it that my wife wasn't planning anything against her friend and my son. I knew my wife and she was the type of person that would attempt something shady against her friends life and don't feel any remorse."Good evening, Do you want something to eat?"...I had just come back from the office when Sophia and I encountered each other..She was holding a bowl of water and a towel dipped Inside the bowl.."Hey!

Sophia povI was in my son's room when his dad walked inside and asked me a question, Luciano wanted to know of my stand in getting married to him, this particular topic as been coming up constantly and as also been the reason amongst the others why my best friend hates me. Nevertheless, her hatred isn't the problem, it's the fact that, she had strangely accepted her husband's wedding to me, which came off as suspicious and dangerous at the same time.I dressed Ethan for bed and later on went to my room to rest. I tried not to think about Luciano, but the more I struggled not to, the quicker my mind goes on him, am I really considering getting married to him and of cause it would be because of my son, Ethan needs a dad and Luciano is the only person who can love and value him like a real father would.."Sophia, good morning"The next day, I came to the kitchen to featch Ethan's feeding bottle, when I encountered Hannah trying to cook a meal. "Good morning, what are you doing?"..I sa

What do we do, since Luciano is handicapped and also can't see"...Hannah asked Chris, there was a little a pause before I heard Chris's response..."Good, at least he cannot marry Sophia". .His response wasn't as surprising as I had thought it might be, I already knew that he doesn't like me and I knew it would only be a matter of time before they send me and my son out of the mansion .Luciano can't protect me anymore given his current state. " Yes, I can't wait to show Sophia her place"...Hannah said, disgusted by me...S
The following day, Hannah asked Olivia to take care of her husband saying that she had something important to take care of and it wasn't going to be more than going for shopping, I assisted Olivia in taking care of Luciano.She left but I chose to stay back with Luciano in the room, since Ethan was fast asleep in gue room, it gave me time to observe Luciano in his room..He was still asleep when Hannah came back from her outing, walked into the room, saw me sitting next to her husband and then angrily asked me to leave. Her behaviour was so furious, it was adamant that something had happened."Sophia!!" Olivia and I met outside Luciano's room.."Hey! Is this for him?".

Take my mom's luggage upstairs"..... Of all the servants there, Hannah had to choose me, was it because that she hated me it the fact that, she actually wanted to humiliate me?..I had no choice than to take the luggage of my best friends mother up to the room.

LUCIANO POVI was in my bedroom when Chris and Hannah shamelessly walked in, they've always been coming into my room and acting like a couple before me, and to them, I couldn't do anything, nevertheless they're the once being fooled.."Hey! How are you my husband?" ...After kissing my cousin she had the audacity to brush the same lips on my forehead.

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,?"

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

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,?"
