Elizabeth on the other hand had a rude wake up call. The day after Adam told her about his intent to divorce her, she went to her so-called friends for advice and help on how to stop the divorce. None of her so-called friends who were full of wisdom and advice on how a rich lady should behave, had any advice for her. They seem to want to avoid her like a plaque once they knew that she would no longer be Mrs Walter.There were also a few ridiculous ones, spinsters and divorcees who asked her about Adam’s preference and hobbies so that they could wriggle their way into his life. She regretted having made friends with such a bunch but there was nothing she could do about the past. She decided to make amends for her ridiculous behaviour and move on considering that Adam had moved on.She wanted to give him her blessing although her heart ached like hell. She had been reflecting on her past ridiculous actions and knew the hell she had put him through, stuck between her and their children.S

“I just wanted to know how strong or weak his loyalty would be…” Chris shrugged as he explained, “Not a must, I can always find other avenues. He is not a must in the plan… just a nice to have…. But I don’t like to have unpredictable variables.”“Elijah Asher is a trustworthy snake, but a snake he is…” Henry opened his mouth “I have dealt with him a few times, he will keep his word as long as you don’t double cross him or his interests.”“What about better prospects?” Chris quirked an eyebrow “Would that sway him?”Henry shook his head “Not in my experience, he is old school, handshake and honour of word kind of guy.”“Aren’t those types extinct?” Eric chuckled while Addison joined “That’s why we call him a dinosaur.”“Can you arrange a meeting for me with him?” Chris asked as he planned his next move.“When?”“How soon can we meet?”“Let me make a call?” Henry stepped out of the room.“Chris, what is the surprise that Harry was asking about?” Mark asked once the discussion died down w

Back in Chris’s villa, the house was filled with chatter and laughter once everyone returned. The kids were bought back this morning chaperoned by Night Slade and Night Shade.“Daddy, little treasure missed you mostest.” Emm ran and jumped into Chris’s extended arms as soon as her little feet touched ground; Chris Jnr was not far off. Both cuddled Chris’s neck tightly as they silently rested their heads on either shoulder; this was their safe haven. They didn't have to be brave or capable, just themselves and still be loved and treasured.“What about mommy?” Emile hooked her eyebrows teasingly as she stood beside Chris.“Yeah…. Yeah… the empress was missed too…” Emm muttered dishonestly without letting go of Chris; she whispered under her breath “Who will be stupid enough to confess the truth and be banished?”“Duh… you…” Chris Jnr shook his head helplessly as he looked at his stupid sister; and subtly pointed his finger towards his mother who was standing next to them, narrowing her e

Lenin knew that his future was looking very bleak as he looked at the paper in front of him with a depressed, defeated expression. This was his last hope and yet it seemed to have become the coil around his neck, threatening to take his breath away. He drummed his fingers on the desk as he made his decisions.“Call Dr Burkhart.” Lenin instructed his assistant as he made plans.He looked through all his finances; there was enough to maintain his current lifestyle for another 3 months if he could find a buyer for his projects with Elijah. His current aim wasn’t to recover his investment but to find a buyer who would buy his bonds from him in exchange for the contract. This was the only way to prevent declaring bankruptcy and buying time till…. his lips curled up as he thought of the last trick in his arsenal.He didn’t want to use it yet, that was meant to his grand stroke but now, it was his only stroke if he couldn’t find a buyer."Call Evergreen Heights and find out if they are happy

On Chris’s end, he was in high spirits, his wife and kids were with him, adding colour and music to his life, his world was complete. As an added bonus, the itch by the name of Lenin was about to be smashed into the pages of ancient history in a matter of days. The next few days had scandals of the key players of ‘Desire and Elegance’, a major player in the entertainment arena splashed all over the news. The medium of media didn't matter, it was the news that was catching all the rage. If it was the news of selling sexual favours for roles and bribing the committee for movie awards selection committee that filled the news headlines on one day, then it was the decadent night life of the stars on the next day.The broadcasting scandals of the company’s most celebrated directors leading to speculation of the fairness and the impact of such a moral-less company on the morale of other self-respecting actors was also debated on social media platforms without even giving the company breathin
