At Hilton's apartment.“Why did you snatch my phone from me?” Wendy said with an unreadable expression.“Excuse you, I just defended you, yet you are ungrateful. I was just curious to know who was speaking to you when you said ‘kill me’.”“Why do you care?” Wendy asked as she washed the dishes. “Didn't you call me your enemy yesterday?”Haha Hilton laughed and moved close to Wendy.“That man is my enemy and I'm not joking.” Hilton suddenly wore a serious tone.“I promise, I don't know who that man is.” Wendy said truthfully.“I believe you.” Hilton uttered as he tucked the hair on her face behind her ear.Wendy was shocked by his act but she covered it up with a smile.She couldn't look at Hilton's eyes. Wendy felt shivers all over body.She attempted to walk away only for Hilton to wrap one of his hands around her waist and stared at her.“Is this a scene in a romantic movie?” Wendy said within her.Despite his scary scars, Wendy felt secured within his grasp.Her heart beat doubled

The atmosphere was unusually quiet and cold. Wendy wallowed in her thoughts, mumbling a lot of things.“Could it be that the strange man knows that I am married to Hilton and he wanted to take me as a prey to get to my husband?”“Is it possible that Hilton had offended the man?”She didn't know how to connect the dots. Nevertheless, Hilton was her husband and she was determined to be on his side.Soon she fell asleep.Inside a mansion.Jason was in his study room with his attention fixed on his laptop. His phone buzzed and he checked what the notification was about.Shocked and puzzled, he read the message out.“Stop trying to investigate the missing money from your company's account. Your lover is part of our team.”Quickly, he reached out to one of his friends who was an undercover agent. He forwarded the message to him and made it clear that he needs feedback as fast as possible.A huge sum of money got missing from his company's account without his notice or that of his secretary.

Hilton was seated while Wendy placed a call and had the phone glued to her ear.“Let's hangout. I will forward the address to you.” She said and hung up.Hilton had his attention fixed on Wendy. Something within him wanted to ask who she wanted to hangout with but he couldn't bring himself to ask.Wendy went into her room and soon returned wearing a skimpy red gown.Without uttering a word to Hilton, she left the house.Hilton was curious to know where she was going and who she wanted to hangout with.“Could she be cheating on me?” Hilton didn't know when these words escaped his lips.He placed a call to one of his men and requested that they should let him know when Wendy arrived at her destination.On the other hand, Wendy arrived at a club where Priscy was waiting by the entrance.“Never knew you were this sexy…” Priscy said, nodding her head slightly.“You don't look bad yourself.” Wendy uttered and the duo held hands and walked into the club.Wendy couldn't remember the last time

Meanwhile, Hilton visited Julius mansion at about eight o' clock in the evening.The mansion was beautifully decorated with the lights illuminating every part of the house. Taking each step, he observed everything that was happening; from those walking about to those exchanging pleasantries.A middle aged woman approached Hilton and shook her head. It was Betty, his stepmother.“Look who we have here, I never expected that you would come. What am I saying? You must attend so that you can drink and eat meals that you haven't eaten in ages. What a pity?!” Betty said coldly and walked away.Hilton wasn't moved by her words. He knew that soon she would be part of those gnashing their teeth in regret for all the evil they did to him.He made his way to where his grandfather sat. Other family members also surrounded him.“Happy birthday grandfather.” Hilton said with an unreadable tone.“You came here bearing no gifts! Is that how miserable you are? Not even a bottle of champagne?” Caleb b

Seeing that no one would save her at the moment, Pearl went on her knees and apologized to Wendy.“I am sorry.”Wendy remained indifferent. If it were before, she would be sympathetic that Pearl was about to lose her job.Wendy hissed and returned to her desk.“Pearl deserves that punishment.”“I hope she gets another job soon and also learns to control her mouth.”“She needs to learn how to have a good relationship with others!”The voices of some employees filled the air.About an hour later.On the other hand, Wendy had her head on her desk.She was distracted when she heard a strange and masculine voice.“I was asked to deliver this to you, ma'am.”Everyone present paid close attention to the young man who brought the gift basket but they were shocked that the gift was for Wendy.“Me?” Wendy questioned the moment she raised her head to see a young man holding a basket filled with different snacks. “You must be mistaken. I'm not expecting any delivery.”“Aren't you Wendy Carter?” H

Very early the next day, Wendy walked into the sitting room. She found Hilton dressed in a casual outfit and holding a small bag.It was as if he was ready to go and play golf but Wendy couldn't bring herself to accept that.Wendy looked at the wall clock and the time was 05:30 am. “Where are you going this early? Why do I feel there's something suspicious about you?” Wendy said with an arched brow.“Is that how you greet someone in the morning after nagging last night?” Hilton questioned with a deep tone.“Don't answer my question with a question. Is it a crime that I want to know about your movement?”“Yes, it is a crime. I can see that you want to continue from where you stopped yesterday.” Hilton heaved. “I don't have time for this.”His words made a surge of anger flow through Wendy's veins.“Who does this man think he is?” Wendy said inwardly.Hilton couldn't explain why he felt reluctant to throw Wendy out of his house despite all her troubles.That must be because of the goal

SARAH I just promised Aunt Olivia that I will get her the information she seeks about Lillian. Deep down, I know the task is tedious and I can’t help but involve Caleb. She had her attention glued to her phone and I kept asking what she was doing. She made it clear that she was checking her mails for her schedules for the month. I tried to crack up jokes and it was nice to see her laugh. “Let’s go home. It is getting late.” I said, picking my bag and leaving my chair. She gave a nod and also stood up. We got home and saw Nelly anxiously staring at the door, expecting our return. “I missed both of you, I felt lonely.” He said. Aunt Olivia approached him and kissed his forehead. “We miss you too, we had a lot to attend to.” I said softly. I prepared dinner, we ate and had a family time filled with laughter. After ensuring Nelly and Aunt Olivia had slept, I picked my laptop and began to work on a new design. That moment, my phone rang, it was a call from Caleb. “Sarah, will yo

SARAH“I am sorry for all I did. I lied against Sarah and went on to spread fake news about her child. I also fell victim to a scammer. Please forgive me, Sarah Tonks, I don’t want to rot in jail.” She said with tears rolling down her cheek.“Alene Wretz employee was behind this?” A deep voice rang out from the crowd.“Sarah Tonks, you have proven to be capable. Kudos” I heard a familiar voice speak. I turned to the direction the voice came, it was the strange man who caused a scene earlier at my office. I was surprised to see him. My thoughts were right along; the man was up to something.“Your words seem soothing on the outside but I can tell that inwardly you wish me horrible things. However, I don’t know what your plans are but don’t cross the line. I smirked and it made him widen his eyes.“I acted that way earlier because I felt you were guilty. I am a good person to flow with.” He defended.“Just be warned,” I pointed at him and immediately, he took some steps backwards.“Am I

SARAHI just received an email stating that I will be part of those in a closed-door meeting with Alene Wretz in two hours’ time. I replied, stating that I will be present alongside Becky.I quickly finished up the piled task on my table and asked Becky to get ready immediately.I patted my face, picked my bag and headed downstairs. Becky was behind me. There I met a man fuming with anger and throwing cold words at my security guards. I had just thirty minutes to be at Alene’s company but I couldn’t help but speak to the angry man.“Hello sir, please what is the problem? Who are you?” I asked politely.“And you are?” He turned to me.“Sarah Tonks,” I replied.“My name doesn’t matter. You look beautiful so because of that, I will speak to you sweetly.” He said with a slight smile and it irritated me.“It is no longer hidden that Sarah Atelier will fold up soon or even get banned from operating in this town. However, my mom is one of your investors. She still believes that your brand wi

LAURA“My job is at risk and my cover is about to blow up.” She said to me angrily.I was confused. Lilian had asked me to meet with her tonight. Now we were inside her car and her cold voice was enough for my heart to jump out of his confines. Although we have a common mission which is to destroy Sarah, I felt scared sitting beside her.“What do you mean by your cover is about to blow up?” I asked with a neutral tone.“Investigations are ongoing about the fake tags on the fabrics I supplied to my company. I should have known better that your plans won’t lead to something good. All thanks to your Dear Caleb who isn’t just a business tycoon but has proven to be a crime investigator.” She pouted.If she had the means, she would end my life. I had to suppress my fury.“My plans always work out. You must have deviated from the plans we had. Hold on, don’t tell me Caleb is still helping Sarah behind the scenes.” I managed to speak politely.“You know the right response to that. If you had

I stood rooted to the spot but Nelly voice drew my attention. “Mom, who is at the door?” He asked and it made me return inside quickly. He kept asking who was at the door but I told him it was nothing to worry about. I had to divert the discussion. “How was school today?” I asked, touching his cheeks. “It was fine. I always enjoy Elena’s company.” He replied happily. It was a good thing that Elena and Nelly were good friends. I hope as they grow older no strings will be attached. Should I be worried that he is acquainted with his cousin? “That’s good. When the school goes on holiday, I think we would go on a vacation.” I said, smiling. “That’s great.” He screamed for joy. “Can Elena come along?” I widened my eyes before replying. “I can’t answer that. It depends on Elena and her parent.” “Uncle Caleb can come along if that will convince her parent…” He suggested politely. “We’ll discuss further when the time comes.” I chipped in quickly. I could see the joy on his face b

SARAH Silas and two middle aged men were before us. I forced myself out of Caleb’s embrace. I felt embarrassed but Caleb wore a smile. Silas also returned the gesture but the other men present remained indifferent. “I expected your arrival yesterday.” Caleb said. “We are so sorry Mr. Hilton, due to some conditions, our flight was canceled yesterday.” One of the middle-aged men explained. “Pardon us for interrupting this lovely moment with your lady.” The other middle-aged man said and it made me widen my eyes. I felt the need to explain myself but before I could speak, Caleb’s voice filled the air. “She looks like my lady, right? It is not what you think but you can convince her to be my lady once again.” He uttered with a bright smile. Silas cleared his throat and looked away. “I have to go now.” I said with a shaky voice, stretching my hand to press the elevator button as I head out of the company. So fast, I arrived at my office but I was worried that the position those me
