Author's pov …#End of Flashback# Ephraim couldn't believe what was happening and wondered how Becky found out about the truth. She knew about the truth all these while and waited till their wedding day so she could disgrace him publicly.“That's not true! It's a lie, I don't know what you're talking about. Who did you talk to? Who has been feeding you with lies?” Ephraim yelled and Becky slapped him again. The priest was confused about what to do next and just kept on staring at everything that was going on. Becky's dad and her Granny kept watching as things unfolds, they were also shocked and couldn't believe what was happening.“Keep quiet and stop lying, you lascivious pretender! It's over for you now and this time, you're going to spend the rest of your miserable life in jail. It won't be like the other time you easily cleared your name and got out but this time, there are so many charges pressed against you and there's no way you're going to escape them.” “You have no evid
Becky's POV“I don't understand what you're saying, Father. Can you explain better?” I asked as I arranged myself properly on my seat with a funny look on my face. Father was sitting next to me, while my gardener sat opposite us with a glass of wine in front of him. They were both having a drink when I stepped in, only for Father to ask me to join them. I refused, but he insisted, and I wished I had not sat with them. “Becky, he may not be so rich, but trust me, he is a good and honest man” I paused as I looked at the good and honest man in front of me, then chuckled before I clapped my hands together in amusement. Was Father serious right now?“Father, take a look at me” I stood up and moved to the side, “I mean, look at me properly from my head to my toes, do I look like someone who's born to marry a poor gardener?” I didn't wait for Father's reply when I turned to the man, my fucking gardener,“You're not afraid, huh?” I asked him, boiling in anger already. This is a shame to my
Becky's POV“Hey baby” I rushed to Ephraim and gave him a hug. He hummed before pulling me from himself and capturing my lips with his. I moaned in his mouth, he is always so good at this, and I've missed him so much that I got lost in his warmth. We were at the club and Ephraim, as always, was looking good with his hair rough and curly that my fingers found their way to it and raked it. He looked refreshed and energized. When I finally broke the kiss, I asked, “You're looking good. Did you go home to freshen up?” I asked him as we both made our way to a table. His friends were all seated around the table, they all had their girls with them. Ephraim ordered drinks for us all before asking, “What's the old man saying? He wants to give you to someone else?” I nodded as I picked up a bottle of liquor and poured him a drink. By the way, his hand tightened around my waist, I could tell he was angry with my reply, but he was trying to not show it. “Don't worry, I've told him that it w
Becky's POVI stood in front of my father's coffin as I cried. It's been a week and I still can't believe that my father, Mr. Smith Baker is dead. What hurt the most was the fact that we had had an argument before his death. His driver, Clinton, had even made a comment that he was angrily going to work that morning when his car collided with another. He had refused to let Clinton drive because he was angry I didn't come back home that night. I had spent the night with Ephraim without letting him know. I felt so guilty and pained, my heart ached so much, I just wished I could rewind time. Father's partners had come to visit one after the other, others sent their condolences. It was too heartbreaking and painful. One minute, he was alive and the next we heard he was dead. When I rushed to the hospital, I saw my father being rolled away. I had cried my eyes out that day that I can't remember much about what happened except that I had cried. And then, that idiot gardener came to the ho
Becky's POV“Attorney Collins, what's the meaning of this?” I asked as I stood to my feet. I watched the imbecile walk over to where we stood, a look that one would think innocent. He was dressed better today, at least. He looked like he would need more than guards to know his limit.“Mr gardener, are you deaf? Didn't you hear what I said back at the hospital? I do not want to see you anywhere close to me. What the hell is your fucking problem?!?” He didn't say anything but moved his eyes from me to the lawyer as if I had just spoken nonsense. Is this man being serious?“I'm sorry Becky, but until he is here, I am not allowed to read the will” “What kind of stupid rule is that?” I yelled. Before I could ask the idiot to leave, Ephraim had already begun to push him out with strength and anger. “Miss Becky, you should know that this man isn't supposed to be here too,” the lawyer said the minute he saw Ephraim dragging the gardener out. “He is my future husband!” “Who was not recogn
Tyler's POV“Tyler Brooke, do you take Miss Becky Smith as your lawfully wedded wife?” “Yes, I do” I replied so firmly with a smile on my face.“And do you, Miss Becky Smith, do you take Tyler Brooke, as your lawfully wedded husband?” One minute, two, and some more minutes passed as she looked around. I had no fear because I knew she was going to accept no matter what. Her father had placed her in a tight corner, she just could not refuse.According to my personal assistant Simon, he had given me the information of why the Smith family lawyer needed me there before he read the will. Mr. Smith had placed almost everything in the hands of both Becky and I. It was really funny how he knew his daughter very well. She will only agree to this marriage if all that rightfully belongs to her is taken away from her. “I do,” she finally responded. Even though I was sure she would agree to it, I still released breaths I didn't know I was holding. “With the power vested in me, I now pronounce y
Tyler's POVAs much as I had gotten what I had really wanted and Becky had already been made my wife, I had a very big dilemma; getting her to love me. I could visibly see the coldness in her eyes and the look of disdain she addressed me with anytime I tried to make a romantic move towards her. I was on top of the moon and I suddenly felt being dragged to the dark depths of hell.The coldness and the hatred was so much that we slept in different rooms on our wedding night. I wanted to win her heart so badly, but I didn't know how to go about it. I devised some romantic plans to help her swing to my side. I decided to carry out my plan the next day.As early as six, I stepped out of bed and headed to the kitchen downstairs. I could hear the clattering of plates and utensils as Alicia, the chef, was busy."Alicia, you're relieved of your duty today." It was if she was jolted back to life from a long trance by a megavolt of electricity. She spun around and almost lost balance in the proce
Tyler's POVI sat in the master bedroom and speaking to someone. "Nah, I wouldn't let her words get to me, she's probably just frustrated and tired from yesterday" I looked around and realized I had been speaking to myself all along.I heard the master door of the mansion unbolt and I rushed outside to see who it was. It turned out it was my baby."Babe, where are you headed to" I asked, curious.She didn't even as much as flinch as if it was a ghost whisper across the room. I thought she didn't hear me and I repeated the question. With a cold look, she turned to me and replied."I'm going out sir" with a tone laced in sarcasm."If I may ask, where are you heading to?" With a voice more subjective than authoritative. She turned and still didn't say a word. I rushed to the dining table and motioned to her. "I made your favorite; apple pie and double brewed tea, the table is set, just waiting for you."She looked at the table and her cold stare suddenly broke into a thin smile that grew
