Becky's POV I was amazed at Tyler’s frustration level and I didn’t know what to do with his matter. While I get ready for work, I heard a light tap on the door to the room. I knew who it was. I opened it; and the filthy gardener came in.“Hello there, how was your night?” I looked at him.“It is none of your concern, bro.” His face became crossed and I knew he might burst any moment. I was expecting any reaction and I was ready to give him back in his own coin. “I really do not know what is wrong; all I have done is try to make you happy and to make you feel loved but all I’ve ever experienced with you was sadness and wave after wave of insults and emotional degradation.“Well, that is what you deserve for intruding into my life.” He looked away and responded “I’ve heard the word intruding into my life over a million times in the past two weeks. I’ve heard it so much that I thought my second name is almost Intrusion”I was about to burst into another long lecture of harsh tongue – la
Becky's POVWhen Ephraim stormed out of my office, I was left in a pool of decisions. I wasn’t sure if I was doing the right thing, not that I cared less for Tyler, but I was just bothered about the family name. Grandma Smith would have me slaughtered with a pencil if she caught wind of what I wanted to do; it’s not like the other family members cared about her. I decided that I would close for work and go make my decision at home.The mergers meeting had ended and Mr. Clarke was in my office, ready to make some finishing touches and to renew the contract he had before my father’s death.The phone screen came alive, someone was trying to initiate video call and when I saw that it was Tyler, I almost threw the phone off the office table. The call ended and the phone started ringing again. I was ready to give him the tongue lashing of his life when I realized the new caller was my Grandma, Grandma Smith. Taking a deep breath, I pressed the green button.“Hello, my precious daughter, how
Tyler's POVThe informant had just given me information with proof that she had actually went to visit her ex – boyfriend. I was infuriated, angry and disappointed at the same time. I felt like he had not been doing enough and also angry that my beloved wife left me for her ex-boyfriend. I really wanted to believe that it wasn’t true. Maybe, she went on business at that same estate. It was a big place after all.He waited for all night and she didn’t come home, confirming my suspicion. I couldn’t sleep, pacing in and around the mansion and didn’t even know what to do. I picked up the phone and called her, but she kept on bouncing the calls.The next day was a Saturday and she still wasn’t home. I decided not to call anybody as I didn’t want any more complications. I picked up my phone and called her best friend, Ann.“Hello… How are you?”“Hi there” her voice boomed from the other side of the phone.“I’m calling in regards to Becky. Do you know where she has been? I’ve been trying to
BECKY'S POVThis was the worst day of my life. I cursed the day I married this beast. I almost cursed the day I was born. I didn't expect this to happen, never expected that he could be like this to me but I already had my mind made up, I wasn't ready to listen to all his pleas; I knew what I was going to do.I sat in the room and stared into empty space in an attempt to clear my confused mind but it wasn't working. My mind took a flashback to the incident and I could remember the jealousy and the aggression in his eyes; he didn't even listen to my pleas and now I felt pain all over my body both physically and emotionally. I wish I could get a pistol and shoot him.My pool of thoughts was interrupted when I noticed his presence. I must have been lost in thoughts when he came in and I realized I didn't even lock the door of the room I was in. He came closer and went on his knees; I wasn't ready for all that."Becky, I..."“Don’t. Don’t even do it. Tyler, you just shown me your true colo
Grandma Smith's POVI had felt the need to go spend some time with my busy grand daughter. Even since the death of my son which happens to be her father, I have longed for her the more but it was if she was straying far from me. Her father wouldn't be happy in heaven if he saw me doing this to the only prized possession he had on Earth. I made up my mind to go visit her; but I knew I needed a tangible reason to be at my grand daughter's matrimonial home. I packed up my things and ordered to driver to drive me to the airport, I wanted it to be a surprise so I placed a call through to the assistant."Hi there, where's your boss?""Mrs. Smith, good morning, she has not reported to work today but she has confirmed that she will be in tomorrow. Is there any other way I can be of help to you ma?""Yes there is, I'll be landing at the Singapore airport tomorrow, help me prepare a ride to the mansion. Please, no staff or welcoming party; just me and the driver."The hearty laugh of the young
BECKY’S POVSeeing Grandma Smith at the mansion was the biggest shock of my life. I had not expected to see her at the mansion and at worst, see her crying.“You break up with him and forget about me or you guys can talk and make this work out” were the last words I heard from her before I saw her spiraling out of control.From behind her eyeglasses, I could see her eyes spinning as she fought to gain composure. The ground went away from beneath her feet and she slumped. The reaction was too fast; even Tyler couldn’t catch up as she went down.I rushed over to her side and held her hands; I could barely hear a whimper from her and I instantly knew I was in trouble; much trouble and it was all because of this beast.“Yeah… 34, Estate Drive, The Smith’s… Bring whatever you can and get here!!... Can you make it faster?... Can I administer any form of First Aid?...” he was mumbling and screaming at the phone.Before I knew it, a helicopter painted red and white landed at the ground helipad
BECKY'S POVI had to get out of the hospital, and fast. I knew I had to go see Ann at the other side of the city and be home in time for the family dinner or Granny is going to throw another fest of rage tonight. I certainly wasn't ready for another bout of drama today. I thought fast, approached Tyler and intentionally spoke aloud."My husband, give me the car keys, let me go and get the ingredients for the sandwich at the superstore at the other side of town." I said, rubbing his shoulders and rubbing my body against him. He looked at me and I could see the look of surprise clearly written all over his forehead as he tried to interpret what I just said."What did you just call me?""I called you my husband, or aren't you?" He looked at Granny first, who already had a smile on her face then back to me. He reached into the pocket of the shirt he had been wearing and took the keys out. "I want to pick something in the car since I will have to call the driver to come pick us up with t
BECKY'S POVIt was some minutes to six and I knew how much my grandmother hated lateness, especially to family dinners. I even remembered countless times she scolded my late father about coming late to a family dinner. I want to be the perfect grand daughter till my plan worked. I pulled into my house and threw my car to the valet driver. She was shocked cos I have never given her my key before. I beamed a big smile to the gatekeeper and he was shocked too. I'm going to have a perfect show before my plan worked out. I want to be as unsuspecting as possible.I walked in to see Tyler already arranging that table and Granny going through the wedding photo albums. I put it in mind to also burn the album once Tyler is gone. Didn't want to have any of his memories lying around the house."Oh, my sweet gorgeous daughter, welcome home, I feared you will be late for dinner.""No momma, you know I won't be." I moved over and gave Tyler a passionate kiss on his cheek and neck. The look on his
