"I'll be resuming work tomorrow, what about you?" Anna turned to Reid who was busy with his cell phone. She dropped her cream on the table after she was done scrubbing it on her skin. "I miss my office." She nodded, putting on a sleeveless top.It's been two days since after their wedding, and so resuming work is the next thing in line. At least, she will have to see her father again. "You miss it more than me? Wouldn't you visit my office so I can introduce you to my workers?" He dropped his cellphone and went to her. He threw his arm around her neck. "They need to see the wife of the CEO." He rubbed her shoulder.She sighed, feeling amazing. "I'll surely come over when you plan to do so, just hook me up on time. And I need to introduce you to my workers as well." She rolled her eyes, smiling."Of course. So, don't tell me you missed your office more than my dîck." He ridiculed, gazing at her face. She couldn't hold her laughter any longer. "Come on, I didn't. That's so important to
"You should know the first step to take, merge your company with hers." Mr Blake Wilson referred to his son. Reid scratched his head, he doesn't want to do this any longer. At first, he agreed to it. But now, seeing the sort of woman she's married to, his love for her wouldn't dare be underestimated. He wouldn't want to hurt her by any means."Dad, I'm not in for this. Let her company be.""Shut that crap. Merge her company with yours and take away the contract from her. Do you even know how much that contract is worth? Besides, her father must be thinking the same thing—the easiest way to restore her company is by merging them." Mr Blake scolded his son. He tapped his thigh. "After that, we'll talk about taking over her company.""What's all these about? For heaven's sake, that lady knows nothing about what transpired between you and her father…" He released a deep breath filled with anger. "The last thing I will watch you do is to take away what she worked hard for all because of wh
While they were having lunch, Reid didn't concentrate. He stared at his father for a while and hissed inwardly, thinking so hard about what to do to help Anna. At this moment, the only proof to retrieve the contract is by merging with a well-known company like his, but the fact that his father is after the same contract which Anna was about to lose is making him think twice.His mother knows fully well that without merging the companies, Anna's company will fall to the last…she doesn't wish that such merging take place. Now, it's either the companies are merged and she retrieves the contract and her company's reputation…or she will lose everything including her reputation. "Gosh! I need to sort this thing out, so that she won't lose the contract." He thought and picked up his cell phone, dropped a message to his only friend.In this sort of situation, he ought to share his problems and get an opinion. The burden was too much.He didn't have to finish his food before going upstairs.
Seeing Anna slump to the floor, Lillian stood up and walked up to her. A wide smile affixed on her face. Although she was expecting her to bleed, there was no atom of blood on her head.Her eyes were shut tight, her face pale."Bastard! You think pushing me into the pool will make you the woman you want." She cursed and walked past her.Anna opened her eyes, seeing how majestic she was walking towards the building. She stood up immediately and rushed to her, held her hair and yanked her backwards."What?" Lillian screamed painfully and turned to see Anna glaring at her. "Is that really your wish? To see me die? Is that what your mother in law ordered you to do to me?" Anna questioned, her face chiseled. She drew Lillian closer to herself, "I won't touch you, I'll slap your ass in her presence.""Let go of me. You're half naked.""It's never your business." Anna dragged her into the building, she met a housekeeper coming downstairs and obstructed her way. "Did you come in sight with my
Anna stood before the mirror packing up her hair into the pink ribbon which matched her outfit. She can't imagine sitting in the jet, heading to work and how it feels.Is that just all?Reid will be going to work with her for the first time. She has to introduce him to her staff, and then he will do that too, but the next day. "Good to go?""Almost done," Anna replied to Reid who wrapped her waist from the back. He kissed her neck. "I'll be stepping out with my wife for the first time.""I'm blushing already." Anna chuckled. "So it's true, Reid. Why a private jet? If she's that rich, why not get it herself?" His mother's voice broke out in the room. He turned to her. "Why complain? I didn't get it for Lillian right? I just hope she has something to do other than sitting in this house from day to night." He retorted. Anna was done, she picked up her handbag, held Reid and they walked out of the room. She didn't mind saying a single word to the woman. "I can't let her ruin our happin
Reid was still on his way to his office when he got a call from the pilot who drove Anna. He stared at his phone's screen for a while before picking up the call."Sir, your wife just got arrested." The pilot said to him via the phone call.He took a look at the screen again to be sure it was the pilot speaking. "Did you miss the line?" He queried, squeezing his face."Not at all sir, the corps took her away for being the culprit to the death of one Mr Jafred. I saw it with both eyes."The blood is his body drained immediately, he dropped a voice to his pilot to revise and head back to Anna's company which they did instantly. He also dropped a message to his manager who was expecting his presence soonest. Within a few minutes, they arrived at Anna's office. He climbed down from the jet after it landed and ran into the pilot who had called him."Immediately you took off, she was arrested." The pilot repeated. He glanced at his colleague who nodded in agreement to what he said."She sai
"I think this should be pending for now, I have some things to sort out before looking into it." Reid whispered to his father.The elderly man didn't get it, his son was supposed to be excited that the documents are ready, not postponing the actions they're supposed to take."Is anything the matter Reid?" Mr Blake drew back his son's attention. Reid turned back, he was already on the stairs. "You don't need to panic, it's something I can handle by myself." He replied and walked upstairs. He was indoors contacting the hackers and investigators he knew just to get proof that his wife was innocent. At night, he managed to wash up and put on his nightwear, pacing round his room in thought, while filling his stomach with whisky.He was missing her badly. No one to talk to or play with. The world seemed upside down without her by his side, everywhere was empty due to her absence."This wasn't how I planned it, Anna. I wanted to smack your ass and tell you how sexy you are. I even took a sho
"Paraquat Dichloride was injected to the last meal he took the night he died, it kills in a twinkle of an eye." The doctor explained to Reid. He sighed and stood on his feet,dipped his palms into his pocket. "Paraquat Dichloride…" He mentioned. "How do I even get proof that such poison was injected into his meal?" He released a deep breath. "I'll give you a proof." The doctor cut in. He immediately turned. "I know you would do that, but I still need enough evidence." He got seated again. "Now I know he was poisoned, how do I show that it's true and my wife isn't responsible for the poison?"The doctor was mute for minutes, until he broke up the silence. "Check the CCTV footage, who brought the food and the restaurant it was prepared in."Reid smiled at that idea. He was well assured that it would help him in a big way. The doctor wrote down a medical report of Mr Jafred's death and gave him a copy of it, then he left.Before he drove off from the hospital, he sent to Dennis the instr
