Angela Anderson, despite what happened in the past has managed to put it behind her and completed her college education with good grades. Ten years after the tragic incident which happened on her birthday, she was now ready for the real world. With the help of her father, Mr Anderson, Angela was able to apply for a position in a well-known prestigious trillion-dollar company called Diamond Corporation. She had been called for an interview and she prepared herself for it very excited. Angela appeared to have pushed everything behind her growing up and is now focused on her future.The day for the interview finally came and Angela got ready for it. She put on a simple white blouse over a black skirt and completed her dressing with a simple necklace, small earrings and black full shoes with a 2-inch block heel. She held her hair up in a bun and checked herself out in the mirror after applying some lip gloss on her dry lips. Satisfied with her appearance, she exited her bedroom and went d
Angela lowered her head after the first applicant followed the woman in. She didn’t want to demoralise herself and lose her confidence for this interview looking at the people she was competing with. Recalling what the woman said was making her lose hope already. She was already thinking her appearance will disqualify her.While Angela was lost in her thoughts, the inner door was opened within two minutes and the applicant who had entered exited with confusion registered on her face. Angela raised her head when the applicant returned to the waiting room. She was now staring at the inner door and saw that the other applicants were equally just like her wondering what was going on with the first applicants coming out in two minutes. Susan entered the room again.“Next,” Susan called out and went back.The room was soon filled with murmuring with everyone asking the obvious questions what happened and what was going on?Angela’s heart raced against her chest yet she couldn’t get up to le
The day slowly passed and Angela decided to tell her friend Zora, a college bestie about her new employment.Inside Angela’s room, Angela was lying on her bed chatting with Zora on her phone. She swung her legs happily behind her as she laid on her belly holding the phone to her ears.“Trust me I was very scared with the way applicants were coming in as quickly as they entered the room,” Angela expressed.“Wow. You are brave. I would have left the place the moment I realized I didn’t fit the profile,” Zora said.“Well, the only thing that prevented me from leaving was my outfit and fear,” Angela said and Zora laughed on the other end of the call.“Your outfit and fear? How?” Zora asked.“Well, I was the only one who appeared to be poorly dressed. I couldn’t bring myself to walk in front of the expensively dressed applicants. That would be so embarrassing,” Angela said.“Good you dressed poorly then, if not panic would have taken you out of the competition,” Zora said. “You know what.
An hour earlier, before Angela and Zora entered the VIP 1 Section. The bartender heard his phone vibrate. Seeing the caller, he exited the bar into the backroom to answer the call.“Hello,” the bartender said, once he was alone inside the backroom of the bar.“I just got an alert that the target is in the club. She is heading towards the VIP 1 section with her friend as we speak,” said the caller.“How do I identify her?” the bartender asked.“She will be the only girl in a black dress in the VIP section,” the caller replied.“Noted,” the bartender replied and returned to the bar to continue serving the customers.His eyes hungrily scanned the people in the section but there was no lady in a black dress anywhere. After an hour, two ladies walked in, Angela and Zora. Angela was wearing a black cocktail dress and Zora was in a dark blue close-fitting straight dress whose length was just up to her thigh. The two were approached by a man who walked them to the bar. The man bought a drink
Zora left the club and went to sit in her car. She was hoping she would see Angela once the people began to leave. Meanwhile, inside a room, Angela was asleep wrapped in the arms of a man both naked. Outside, inside the car, Zora could no longer fight nature. She dosed off to sleep.Angela slowly opened her eyes. Her eyes widened when she saw the ceiling she was staring at. She tried to move but her gaze quickly got sight of the man lying down next to her. She raised the blanket, looked inside and quickly brought it down with shock plastered on her face. They were both naked. Angela panicked and fell off the bed. Her fall woke the man up.Still sitting on the floor holding the blanket as a cover. She stared at the man who slowly sat up on the bed not caring about his current state. She recognized the man as the one who had interviewed her at Diamond Corporation. She held on to the blanket and pushed herself back while sitting on the floor away from the bed as she stared at the man who
Angela lay on her bed tossing and turning, trying to come up with something to tell her parents so they would allow her to leave home and move in with Bryce, but nothing came to mind. She defeated all the ideas that came to mind with the excuse her parents would see right true her. She had not had a reason to lie to them before. This was going to be her first time. Zora came to mind and she remembered she never saw her again after leaving with the strange man to dance. She fetched her phone which had charged up a little and dialled Zora's number."Hello Zora," Angela said."Girlfriend, where are you?" Zora asked sounding relieved. "I am home," Angela replied sounding downcast."I am glad you are safe, but why would you do that to me? I looked for you everywhere and ended up sleeping in my car outside," Zora said sounding unhappy."I am sorry, but something happened. Can you please come over to my place? I really need your help with something," Angela requested."Okay, fine, but you o
Angela and Zora stared at Mr Anderson who stood there for a while not saying anything. Angela started feeling anxious thinking Mr Anderson had seen through her."Honey, come listen to something," Mr Anderson said and returned to the living room."I thought you said it was going to work," Angela whispered to Zora as soon as Mr Anderson went back into the living room."It was a suggestion. I didn't say it was going to yield the needed results," Angela raised an eyebrow hearing Zora's reply. "Well, we need to know what is going to happen next. Let's go inside," she added pulling Angela towards the living room."Our daughter is moving out," Mr Anderson said to his wife who was sitting on the sofa reading a magazine. "What?" Mrs Anderson reacted lowering the magazine and placing it next sofa to her side, but just then Angela and Zora strode in. "Why?" she asked taking her eyeglasses off."Her new job came with an accommodation," Mr Anderson said and found himself a seat."Angela, are you
"Good. You are here," Bryce said and started descending the staircase.The servant seeing Bryce, bowed to him and left the place. Angela remained rooted to her spot holding the roller handle of her small travelling bag. She stared at Bryce as he descended the staircase and she couldn't help but admire him. In the interview room, she was nervous and hence didn't pay much attention to him. His eyes were something else so she avoided looking at him. At the club when she woke up next to him, she was terrified and confused. So again, she could not look at him. All through her time with him, this was the only time she was taking a good look at him."It is rude to stare," Bryce said when he was now standing in front of Angela."I am sorry," Angela apologize and lowered her head."Come with me. I will show you to your room. We can have supper was you have settled in," Bryce said calmly."Yes please, " Angela acknowledged and Bryce called one of the servants to come for Angela's bag.Bryce and
"Hmm, I think, I need to make a call to someone," Susan said and retrieved her phone from her bag. She quickly dialled Devon's number and waited for the call to connect."Hmm," Susan heard a voice."Mr Moore, Bryce is at it again. Today he had an email circulated in the company that Angela Anderson is on sick leave. He is still looking for her and that means he would not go through with the engagement," Susan cried on the phone."Ah! So you are the one feeding my husband with this information?" Patricia replied to Susan and Susan removed the phone from her ears to check whom she had called.Mr Devon Moore was displayed on the phone screen. She had called the right person but Patricia had answered."I am sorry, Mrs Moore. Mr Moore tasked me with monitoring your son. I am only doing my job," Susan defended."I see," Patricia said. "This should be the last time, you call my husband," she warned and ended the call."Bitch!" Susan cursed and tossed the phone back into her bag.A&J GroupZ
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
