"Khalid who is the guy, and why the sudden meeting"Herald asked confused. Jenny also nod to this. He chuckled. "Firstly, I will like to say sorry to you Herald,I was so rude and I betrayed brotherhood"He apologized. "You are forgiving. So who's this guy?"He asked. "Yes, is he one of your business partners. Or who is he?"Jenny asked, with anxiety in her voice. "I know you guys are curious. Just take a chill pill. Well this is Steve"He started by introducing him. "Huh Steve, so what does that got to do with us"Jenny asked, tired of the gathering. She just hope Khalid is not trying to introduce a new friend because she hates having so many friends. "Well, the guy here is an actor, but not a popular one"Khalid furthers say. "Oh! but what's an actor doing here. Are we shooting movie?"He asked, trying to understand what he's trying to get to. "I wanted to ask the same thing"Jenny said and put her hands under her jaw. "Can you guy allow me, your questions are freaking me out. You sh
Khalid POV"Guy, I think this will suit you well; I will go for this," Herald said, picking a suit for me and himself."Let me try it on; let's see how it goes," I said, and I took the suit to the dressing room. I came back and they were mesmerized as if this is the first time I am putting on a suit. To me, it doesn't makes any difference. "Wow! You really look good in this. "Common dude, marriage is already shown on your face," Herald said teasingly. "Don't miss these two things, dude: revenge, not marriage," Jenny corrected, and Herald chuckled. "Correct. I know you are smarter than this guy," I said in support of Jenny, and we both shook hands. "Whatever, all I know is that you are getting married. And I think that's a good thing because I might be lucky to find my bride," Herald said while trying his suit on."Really, what about your flings?" "Are you giving up?" Jenny asked. She didn't mean that; was she supposed to remind him about that?"Not until I see someone who steals
"I don't understand; what are you trying to say?" he asked, moving towards her. "I overheard my parent saying you used me at a collateral for their business, how could you"She yelled feeling disappointed. Khalid keep silence for a while, that question meet him suddenly, but he knows how to play the trick. "Common baby, do you think I will ever do that. Look into my eyes and tell me if you believe those word"Khalid try to change the topic. "Why shouldn't I"She asked trying to control her emotions. "Okay wait let me explain what happened, I never mean to use you as a collateral. Just that I was trying to follow the way of your dad" Khalid said trying to convince her. He smirks when he sees she was already confused. *I know how to get my enemy confused" He thought yo himself. "How do you mean"She asked calmly. He scoffed before continuing. "When I came back some weeks ago, I tried getting in touch with you but I couldn't. Then I choose to do my investigation very well, that's w
"Mr. Steven, thanks for changing your mind I am very sorry for my wife's unusual behavior," Mr. Edward apologized."It's alright; you are very lucky. You should be grateful to Mr Khalid. He begged me to come back. And I also came back for the sake of your beautiful daughter. She's a very good girl," Mr. Steven said, and gulped down his lumps. "We shouldn't delay signing all the documents; I have to be somewhere soon," Khalid said with a smirk."Just sign all that document. Then all your companies will belong to me. You were so foolish to have mistakenly put your company files in the documents you gave me, Mr. Edward. "This is the beginning of your doom," Khalid thought to himself."I will just read through this," he said, and Khalid's eyes widened in amusement. If he reads the document, their secret will explode. He needs to do something. Khalid's heart was racing as he started reading the first page.The first page was just nothing; it was just a game agreement paper, while the oth
"2days laterNathaniel povThis is like a dream, the long-awaited moment of my life. I have always wished I could escape from my parents, which never seems possible. But today everything seems so bright, my dreams have come true, Khalid has finally married me, and everything here looks so cool.I couldn't help but glare around the room. I look at my hand, and I can't imagine when he was sliding the pure gold ring onto my finger. A cute smile lightened my beautiful face, and I silently prayed to live long with him.He's such a neat guy; his room is very tidy. I glare at the bed decorated with flowers and red light. The decorator really did a great job. I think I need to keep my things in the wardrobe and change into my skinny red nightgown. I stood up from the couch and went towards the wardrobe. I opened it a bit slowly. Everywhere was filled, but I needed to make space to put my things. After dressing the wardrobe, I went to sit on the bed, and I realized how soft and comfortable
Khalid POVI could see her excitement when I went inside, she was tossing on the bed happily. Maybe she was expecting me to come closer and lay with her as a husband will do on their wedding night.But I am not her husband; I only married her for my revenge, and I couldn't help but tell her the truth. She thought I was joking, but not until I made her understand her place.But her tears pissed me off so much that I couldn't take her present. I walked out of the house angrily and took my car key. I drove straight out of the house to the club. On getting there, I went to the VIP section and took a table for two, and I ordered beers.I was on the second bottle when I saw the lady walk up to me. "Hi handsome"She said smiling. But I ignore her greetings; it's obvious she's a whiner. "Hi dude!" She smiled again. I didn't reply and kept her silent. "It's obvious you are a loner, guy's like you should be neglected" She insulted him and was about to leave. "Hey! Stop"I command in my dar
Nathaniel POVAfter everything that happened yesterday, I managed to lift myself and leave his room, even though I couldn't make it to unpack my things. On getting to the room, everywhere was messy, but I was too sleepy to arrange it, so I just placed my head and went to sleep. When I opened my eyes, it was already morning. So I just had my bath and waited for him to go out so I could go to his room to get my things. I waited for a while, and when I couldn't wait any longer, I decided to go and check myself. But fortunately for me, on getting to the room He wasn't in the bedroom; I realized he was in the bathroom. So I went to pick my clothes and also help him pick his. I never thought he would get angry. After changing into my clothes, I went to the kitchen to see his maid."Good morning, madam," she said with a slight bow."Please don't refer to me as ma; Nathaniel looks good on me," I try to correct her. But she hesitated."Ma, I am sure you don't want your husband to fire me; se

"Good morning, Mr. Herald; you can't imagine this bitch slapped me," he said angrily, facing Herald.Herald gripped his fist and landed a blow on his face. It took him a long while before holding up on himself. "How dare you call Khalid's wife a bitch?" He growled and gripped his neck tightly. The guy was already suffocating. Trying hard to breathe, he asked for forgiveness."No, Herald, don't kill him. I am sure he's not aware I am his wife," Nathaniel pleaded on his behalf, holding Herald's hand. She has never seen him like this before. Herald look at her for a while and then leave him alone. "Why do you have to stop me?" This guy needs to be taught a lesson; how could he be so disrespectful?
