Pacing around the sitting room, Jane was awaiting feedback from the business board. She kept glancing at her cell phone in order not to miss their call.She had paid them in quantum, believing that they would easily sign Anna out of her company. Since Reid pranked her by divorcing Anna just for her to let go of her father, she won't keep mute over her company. "No matter what it will cost, I'll surely take over that company so she will be idle like I am now. Besides, her husband is the CEO of the wealthiest company…" she thought and rolled her eyes.At a time, she walked closer to the framed photo of Anna and Williams. She couldn't help but smile widely."But why wasn't he convinced that Anna was cheating on him with someone else even after seeing this photo?" She gestured, her facial expression changed.She turned to get back to her cell phone when she came in face with Williams. "Maybe, he kept mute because I haven't shown up, that's the greatest evidence." Williams snapped and got
"Look! I'm never here to jabber with you, you have just twenty four hours to put everything in its place." Reid warned the business board chairman. The torment has become so much that he can't tell who to dodge as it stands.The chairman looked up to him and dropped his pen on the table, he was confused on who to obey…mother or son?"This is an order from your mother.""And my mother is now the CEO right? Can you just listen to yourself like you're out of your senses…" Reid swallowed bitterly. "Okay, my father who ran around for those documents will be counted as stupid huh?"The chairman could see the anger roaming in him, but he couldn't control it. "You're doing this for that lady you call your wife? There are women who need such help, or aren't you aware that she's the lady whose nude pictures went viral? Merging your company with hers is a lot of risk, you might even lose." His voice is polite, but a bit serious. Reid glared at him and gripped his collar,how dare he mention his w
Mrs Wilson alighted from the car and was about climbing the veranda when a car drove into the compound, she turned to see that it was Reid driving recklessly. "He must be crazy!" She mumbled and waited for Reid to step forward to her. The young man locked up his car and matched towards the veranda only to see her mom standing there. "I saw you here when I was driving in—and you're still here waiting for me?" His brows arched. Even though he was done with the business board chairman, that anger still roams in him. Reminiscing about the statement Felix made about Anna's fertility, he felt like tearing him into pieces. "Where are you coming from?" Mrs Wilson twisted her face.He glared at her for a while and released a loud hiss before walking away from her sight. Just like he has every right to go to places without anyone's permission—no one dares interfere in his matter without permission too.Mrs Wilson walked into the building after his son and ran ahead just to obstruct his way fr
Hours elapsed and it was the next day. Anna got ready to leave for work with Reid who was busy pacing round the room while making calls. She grabbed her handbag and marched closer to him, then gripped his left palm."Good to go?" She furrowed her brows in excitement. He smiled and nodded, then got hold of his office box.They left the room together in their car when Lillian hurried towards them. She has been jogging since she woke up—and has been outside all this while so she will get to see Anna before she leaves."You two are already leaving without giving mother a reply to her order yesterday…" she pulled her lips into a smile, taking a glance at the couples.Anna twisted her lips, she wasn't getting what she meant by an order from her mother in law. "Any idea of what she's talking about?" He queried Reid who was seated in the car already. He shrugged his shoulders, "Just come in, let's leave!""What the heck! You can't just leave like that—I see Anna is narrow-minded of what's goi
The manager bumped into Reid's office to see his boss stiffened at a place staring at the floor. Not just that, he noticed tears on his cheeks. "Sir…Sir, are you okay?" He shook Reid who came back to reality. He gulped and wiped his face, took hold of his cell phone and left his office immediately—he didn't bother saying a single word to his manager, and the young man was dumbfounded. Whatever it is that made his boss shed tears must be critical.Reid was driven to the hospital which was sent to him via text message, he hurried into the emergency ward where he was sure Anna must be lying."Mr Reid, you need to calm down…" the voice of a young man drew his attention. He turned to see a doctor standing two feet away from him—he rushed and clutched his collar.Tears he couldn't hold kept streaming down his cheek, it was uncontrollable. "It's all lies right? Where is she?" He screeched, staggering the doctor.The other doctors around rushed to him and pulled him away from the doctor. One
He was still pacing round the room when his father came downstairs, he glanced at him and was about to leave when his father called him back. "I overheard a loud noise here, that's why I came down—did anything happen?" Mr Blake Wilson referred to his son. Reid shook his head, since Felix already left a few seconds after the corps took Lillian, there was no way he would find out what went on minutes ago. "Everything is fine. Just take a rest!" He muttered and faced the door."It's been a while since we discussed your wife and her company that has been merged with yours…"He glared at his father and released a loud hiss. If only he knows the feelings he was battling with at the moment—he won't bring up that matter. "Any problems with my wife? I'm in a haste, dad…" He blurted, his voice a bit deep that one would easily notice his mood, but his dad was less concerned—all he wished was to talk about Anna and her company. "Uhmm! It's about the contract. Any news about it?" Reid gritted
A few seconds after Reid left the lawyer's office, he came in again to ask for a favor. He needs to go stay with Anna because she needs her most in that condition. "Follow them to the police custody!" He said to the young man who twisted his face on hearing that Reid will always do things in his favour especially when it has to do with something crucial.He shook his head, "I can't! They can do the work without my presence…" the lawyer stated.Reid tapped his finger on the table, "I know how stubborn Lillian is, and Felix might as well go to the DOP—but your presence will make everything go smoothly." He narrated to the lawyer, trying to make him understand things.He thought about it for a while and agreed to it. The fact that Reid is the reason he's in that position is one reason he should respect his decision. At least, the young man gives him the respect he deserves even though he was the one who put him through education and so many other things. And recalling that Felix is a di
Five days had elapsed since Anna went into a coma. Reid had been feeling depressed, at some point he felt like his world was meaningless without. Staying at home became one difficult thing for him—and he never bothered about going to work.His priority was to see Anna wake up again. No minute passed without him sitting beside her, speaking some words that could bring back the dead just the doctor advised. “You have a visitor waiting in the guest room!” the nurse in charge of the VIP ward where Anna was staying announced. He stood up, although he wasn't expecting a visitor—but he had to go see who it was.“Look after her while I'm out.” he referred to the nurse before leaving. In the guest room was seated Lilian whose arms were folded against her chest. He walked closer to her, knowing fully well that he had gotten her arrested five days ago.“What are you doing here?” his brows furrowed.She stretched her hand out as a greeting but he ignored it. “I just asked you a question, I never
