"Do I make myself clear," Bryce questioned."Yes, Mr President," Susan acknowledged."Now sit down and let's talk about the main reason why I called you out of your office," Bryce said and Susan pulled the chair in front of his desk and sat on it.Bryce picked a file from his desk and handed it to Susan. She accepted it and opened the first page. Bryce began to ask her questions about the file in her hand which happens to be an employee's file. The employee had been offered a contract and Bryce was not aware of it. Susan went ahead to explain what happened and Bryce decided to let that slide too giving Susan a final warning not to use their friendship for her gain. "You can go now," Bryce dismissed and Susan left.Bryce picked up his phone and dialled Angela's extension."Angela come to my office now. When coming bring the movie script along with you," Bryce said."Yes, Mr President," Angela said before the call ended. In less than five minutes, Bryce heard a knock on his door and
"So how do we send Angela to Bryce's apartment?" Eva asked after thinking through the idea. "Bear in mind that, Angela always leaves the office before Bryce," she added and sat down behind her desk."You are right," Susan replied thinking it through."Wait, you can give her another task that will make her leave the office late like the last time," Eva suggested."No, I would end up in trouble with Bryce," Susan said and snapped her finger. "I have a better idea," she said and walked up to Eva.She leaned in and whispered something into Eva's ears. Eva's eyes widened listening to Susan."That sounds perfect. This would make her incur the wrath of two bosses," Eva said laughing. "Let me call him right away," she added and fetched her phone."Hello Aaron, I have a job for you. It would require you to have a near-death experience. Can you do it?" Eva asked."You want me to risk my life to get rid of this Angela girl?" Aaron asked."Yes," Eva replied. "What did this girl do to you ladies
Angela lifted her head a little and stared at Bryce's sleeping face. She felt happy waking up to find him still in bed. It was 5 am. "Are you going to lie there staring at my face," Bryce's voice deep husky voice travelled to Angela's eyes causing her to jolt."Er, sorry," Angela apologized and tried to get up but Bryce pulled her back, making her lay back on the bed.He turned around coming halfway on top of her. He stared at her face and Angela was not sure where to look. Her eyes kept looking everywhere but his face. "Look at me," Bryce said, his voice commanding yet gentle.Angela stopped her roaming eyes and slowly shifted them to his face. He stared at her face and Angela began to feel uncomfortable with the way he was staring at her. He leaned forward and kissed her lips."I am your husband, you don't have to be shy of me. This wouldn't be the first time we have slept together," he said, his voice very low and seductive.Angela nodded with her lash lowered. He kissed again be
Angela read the accusing look in the eyes of everyone gathered around the scene. Aaron was being attended to by the medical team on site."No, no. I didn't do anything. Why would I do that?" Angela said to Don."That is what I want to know. I was warned about you but I decided to give you a chance and you injured someone on set. When did you conceive your idea of revenge?" Don said to Angela in the presence of all."How can you say that?" Angela defended. "Someone is framing me up. I planned revenge and I waited for Aaron to offer me a plate of apples and a knife just so I could switch the knives. So what if Aaron didn't bring any knives on set?" she added."How sure are we that you did not bring a knife to the set? In this scene, the male lead's presence was supposed to be enough to scare the attacker away. You modified it and introduced the fight scene and the stabbing scene. Was it just to get back at Aaron for disrespecting you?" Don questioned."No, I only brought in the scene be
"I am listening?" Bryce said and Angela's head remained lowered. "Start talking. I don't have all day," he said raising his voice when Angela remained silent."I picked some portions of the movie script and gave it out to the characters the team had selected. During the cast selection, we allowed each team member to audition for the role. They all put their heart into it and the performance was amazing but we needed to still select people for the roles. So Don and I made the selections based on the outstanding performance where we looked at people who brought the characters to life in the most natural way," Angela began. "When we announced the results, Aaron Gregson was not happy I made him a standby support to the chosen male lead. He called me out and I don't know how he found out about my college education. He announced it in front of all. I defended myself to retain my respect. I later had a conversation with Mr Don and Aaron became the male lead for the movie," she went on. "An
Bryce left Don's office and headed for the office. He left behind a ride with two guards to take Angela home once she was done on set. Don also returned to the set and the shooting of the scenes continued but Aaron was resting in one of the rooms following his injury on set. Some offices came on the set but Don spoke with them and they left without speaking with any more. In the restroom, Aaron was lying on a bed shirtless with a bandage wrapped around his belly covering his wounded area. He was holding his phone in his hand typing away. Aaron typed. I demand you pay me extra. I was stabbed in my side on set today. Angela got framed for it but I am lying here in pain.Susan typed.I understand. You would be compensated for your work done. How serious is your injury?Aaron typedThe knife blade was not that long so the wound was not that deep but it still hurt. Susan typed.I would my doctor to tend to you so you recover quickly. I will send you the last payment to you once Angela
Back at Don Entertainment, Angela and the team had a successful day shoot. Angela was unaware of what had transpired at the office and nobody called to tell her anything. With how she kept getting into trouble anytime Susan saw her with Bryce, she decided to find another way to work with Bryce. The scenes of the male lead were shot again with Alexander Green and Ms Caroline. The production team liked the act better with Alexander and Caroline. Aaron was good but he was too rigid with the character. Alexander was very natural. "With funds available and a great committed team, we should have this movie read in sixty days," Don said to Angela."Yes, that is possible. I will get the marketing team onboard once we are halfway through the shooting so we can have some scenes to create teasers that will hype the movie. I am confident this would be a step into greatness. Don Entertainment will be in the news soon for its achievement. We are changing the story," Angela said with so much confi
Bryce continued to tease her and Angela was burning with desire. It was almost like she had been drugged with an aphrodisiac."Are you in the mood now?" Bryce whispered against her lips.Angela tried to kiss him but he pulled back preventing her from kissing him. He stared at her getting frustrated and he smiled and kept his hands between her thighs still teasing her."Yes," Angela replied and opened her mouth with her eyes rolling to the back. "Do you want me?" Bryce whispered."Yes," Angela replied and let out a cry. "Please," she begged.When he felt he had teased her enough he kissed her lips and carried her off to the bed. He laid her on the bed not breaking from the kiss and her hands tagged at his shirt buttons. He helped her by pulling the shirt from the hem ripping the buttons off and exposing his chest to her view. Angela hungry touched his chest rubbing her hands all over his chest like hair on soap. He took the shirt off and tossed it to the side. He unbuckled his belt an
Susan after making multiple turns finally found her way to the staircase. She quickly went down the stairs and found herself in the open space. The exit door was just a walk away from her left, and the living room was also a couple of walks away from her right. She requested an Uber and was soon out of Bryce's home. Josephine locked the main door as Susan left before returning to her room.Inside the Uber, on her way back to her apartment, Susan called Eva."Have you found Angela yet?" Susan asked."No, it's like she just vanished into theme air," Eva replied."Keep looking, I am sure she is hiding somewhere. Bryce seems to like her and I want to know why," Bryce said and the Uber driver looked at Susan briefly in the rearview mirror before focusing his gaze on the road."And about Bernard. When are you going to help me with him?" Eva asked. "Let the sun come up and I will tell you what to do," Susan replied before ending the call."Who are you, Angela? Why does Bryce like you?" Susa
Bryce stood there frozen to his spot as he stared at the back of his father, Devon, as he walked majestically out of his living room towards the exit. Every step Devon took, made Bryce feel like his father, Devon, had him where he wanted."So, are we going upstairs now?" came Susan's voice as she hung herself from Bryce's shoulders sounding seductive. Bryce's shifted his gaze to Susan who was still hunting from his shoulder with smiles covering her face and a stare of seduction."Get your slutty hands off me. Are you that desperate for a man to the extent that you lower your standard to a level of begging and throwing your dignity out of the window?" Bryce said with disdain and a frown on his face.Susan let go of Bryce's shoulder immediately and stared at him, her anger gradually rising as she processed Bryce's words. Bryce squeezes his face staring at her."Calling you a slut is even giving you credit because we know they at least charge their clients for their service. You are jus
The day slowly went by and soon the morning came. Bryce woke up and got ready for the office. He skipped breakfast and was soon in the car heading for the office. "What is the latest news on Angela's location?" Bryce asked."Sir, we still don't have anything on her. It appears she didn't have any friends and she didn't go to her family home either," Marcus replied. "You are not doing a good job then. Search everywhere," Bryce almost yelled."Yes, boss," Marcus replied and shifted his gaze to the road.They soon arrived at Diamond Corporation. Bryce got out of the car and went up to his office. When he walked in, he was surprised to find his coffee sitting on his table. "Angela!" Bryce whispered her name and went out of his office.He stood behind Angela's office door and knocked. After the knock, he tried to open the door and it was locked. He frowned and pulled his phone out."Maybe she went to meet up with Don," he thought as he dialled Don's number on his phone. "Hello Don, how
"Patricia, calm yourself," Devon said. "Even if you are against my decision, you should not do this in front of our guest," he added."Then you should have discussed with me first before making an announcement I know nothing about in front of the so-called guest," Patricia said angrily."What is wrong with you Patricia? This is Susan. She grew up together with Bryce. What do you have against her?" Devon asked."You know. I am glad you asked this question because I wanted to ask you the same question. I don't know we may have the same reason for our objections," Patricia said with a frown. "What do you have against Angela," she asked.Susan who was sitting at the table was surprised by the hostility displaced by Patricia but after hearing her question she understood why."So this is about Angela," Susan thought and grabbed a glass of water for herself."Angela is a slut and a gold digger. She is only her to amass wealth for herself. I would not sit and watch such a woman take away ever
It was five minutes after the hour five in the evening when Zora returned to her apartment. She opened the front door and entered her room to find Angela still lying on the sofa where she had left her."Hey, girlfriend, don't tell me you haven't moved since I left," Zora said as she kicked her shoes off her feet carrying two paper bags in her hand with her bag hanging from her shoulder.Zora walked to the sofa and placed the two paper bags on the centre table leaving her shoes at the door. She dropped her bag on the sofa and she sat down on one of the sofas. She then tapped Angela on her shoulder. "You are back," Angela opened her eyes and turned in the direction of where the tapping had come from only to see Zora sitting on the sofa next to where she was lying asleep."Yeah, I am and it looks like someone just slept off as soon as I left," Zora said and opened the two paper bags releasing the aroma of french fries into the air."I am tired. I can't cook so I ordered something from K
"How dare you barged into my office like that?" Devon barked standing up to face Bryce who was equally standing in front of his desk facing him squarely.The two gentlemen stared at each other angrily for a while in silence before Bryce decided to break the silence. "Angela is my wife and now that I know she is carrying my child, I am not going to let her go," Bryce said sounding very serious."Then you leave me no choice. I shall take the company away from you," Devon said and Bryce scoffed."So be it. You can have your company back," Bryce said and was about to leave. "I am not just taking the company away from you. I am freezing all your assets. Good luck running that house in the Estates with no money. And Bryce, I need you to pay the rent for that apartment by noon today. Starting from the day of acquisition if not, you move out," he said."We own that estate so why do I have to pay you rent?" Bryce questioned. "I am a Moore," he added."Since you started disobeying my orders.
After Bryce left to get food for Angela, the doctor came to Angela's ward."Great, you are awake now. Your test results came out fine. So you are free to go home for now," the doctor said and Angela nodded. She grabbed her bag and quickly searched for her phone. She dialled Zora's number and waited for her to answer."Hello Zora, I want to come over to your place. This is urgent," Angela said on the call."Okay, I went to get something in town. I will hurry to my place. If you can make it in within the next half an hour, I will wait for you," Zora replied."Thank you. I will be there shortly," Angela said and ended the call before dropping the phone into her bag.With Bryce away, she seized the opportunity to leave the ward. She knew if he returned it would be difficult to leave. She grabbed her bag and was soon out of the ward. She exited the hospital and used the pavement heading for the exit. She kept her eyes on the lookout for the car park. She was happy it was on the other side
"Why?" Bryce asked wondering if his father had said anything to her."I don't want to be married to you anymore," Angela replied because she didn't want to tell him she was requesting a divorce because she thought his family had something to do with her parents' murder."Why?" Bryce asked again feeling uneasy hearing her request for a divorce.Why does she want a divorce now that she is carrying his child? Is it a way to run away with his child?"Our marriage was a wrong idea. We were not supposed to be married in the first place," Angela replied. "It is never too late to rectify a mistake. It's only been like four months. We are not compatible. We may have some che ... er some er, chemistry, when we are, erm," she stammered trying to make her last statement as her eyes looked everywhere except him while she fidgeted with her hand and the cover cloth.She cleared her throat and continued. "When, erm, you know," Angela said and Bryce frowned trying to understand what she was trying to
Bryce after the call cancelled all his appointments for the day at the office and stayed with Angela at the hospital. A couple of minutes to hours went by before Angela opened her eyes. Her gaze fell on Bryce sitting on the chair next to her bed with his gaze fixated on his phone."Angela," Bryce called out to her putting his phone aside after noticing the small movement from Angela. "How are you feeling?" he asked leaning forward and taking her hand in his.Angela tried to get up but Bryce prevented her from getting up."Relax. Just lie down for a while," Bryce said and Angela just stared at him.Her mind quickly went to the artefact and memories of the night her parents were murdered flooded her mind. Her breathing became unsteady and started trembling. Her hands flew to her ears as she closed her eyes terrified."Angela," Bryce called out to her seeing her panic."Leave me alone. Go away from me," Angela cried."Angela, it's me, Bryce. Calm down," Bryce said trying to calm her down
