“Uhm, Nanny has told me that everything, mine and mom’s have been brought here,” Rhiannon said immediately after she met Octavius' eyes.“Yeah. One of the rooms will be arranged and you will keep Mom’s stuff there. Or, since you will be moving in with me, your room should be used to store her things,” Octavius said without noticing the stunned look on Rhiannon.After waiting for an answer without getting one, he looked at her face.“What? Why are you looking at me with that look?” Octavius said as he was confused and at the same time worried that he had said something he wasn’t supposed to say.“Mom? You said Mom, do you have your mother’s belongings here? Also, when did I say that you will be moving in with me?” Rhiannon said angrily as she thought of his words.“Of course, your mother is also my mother. As a son, shouldn’t I address your mother as my mother also? About moving in, you are my wife, you should sleep in the same room as me,” Octavius said with a smile on his face.“You!
“Miss Rhiannon, what are you doing here?” the secretary asked as he eyed Rhiannon.Rhiannon glanced at the latter and knew that there was something they were hiding from her.“Why shouldn’t I be here? Isn’t this my company?” Rhiannon asked sharply as she eyed her.The secretary avoided Rhiannon’s sharp eyes as he was afraid that he might do something or that Rhiannon would see the panic in his eyes.“I am sorry miss,” he said with his head lowered.Rhiannon glanced at him before walking past him to the president's office.“How dare you open the door without permission,” an angry voice sounded in the room causing Rhiannon to chuckle coldly.“You are fired,” she said to the secretary before walking inside.“Dad, don’t you know the company’s rules? This is my company and I am the president. You are the CEO and should be using the CEO’s office, not my office,” she said coldly as she wasn’t in the mood to entertain the latter.Mr Clark was shocked when he heard his daughter’s voice.“You!
“Okay,” Rhiannon answered as she understood who she had been told about.She arranged the documents on the table neatly and tidied the desk as papers were scattered everywhere.She stood up, took her handbag, and took out the documents that were in before placing the handbag on the desk and started walking towards the door.“Make sure that no one comes in when I am not present,” Rhiannon said to a bodyguard as she didn’t want to leave the office without anything looking after it as some documents could be stolen.Also, the fact that she had just fired the secretary made things worse thus she opted to treat the guards as her secretary for the time being till she could find a new secretary.Although the bodyguard didn’t like standing in one place and wanted to refuse, he didn’t say anything as he had been taught to always follow his employer's instructions. Even if he could have argued that Rhiannon never paid him, she was his boss’ wife thus it meant that she was also his boss.“Yes ma
Everyone was shocked at her ambitions.They had always known how ambitious she was, but they felt that that was on another level.“What if you don’t get it?” Mr Clark asked as he wanted to make things for Rhiannon when he remembered what she had done to him.Rhiannon was displeased when she heard his questions while the others curiously looked at the two.“What does this have to do with this? For as long as I can remember, I have been trying and won’t be using any money for what I will be doing until we get their attention. If you think that I will be giving you a chance to make fun of me then you are mistaken!” Rhiannon said coldly as she glanced at the latter.“You! Is this the way you speak to your father?” Mr Clark asked angrily.“The same question all over again. Can’t you ever ask something else? I am getting tired hearing it every time,” Rhiannon said causing the man to be angrier.“I think what Rhiannon has said is true. She will be trying, if she manages then we will get into
“What?”Mr Clark and the other members were shocked at the bodyguard’s words.Even Rhiannon herself was surprised when she heard how much they earned as she never thought that Octavius was so rich that he could pay them that amount.Nonetheless, she didn’t dare show her surprise as it would be others suspicious of her and she couldn’t let them be.She was aware that some of them pretended to be friendly to her as they had seen her bodyguards' true strength and didn’t want to cross her.“What? Rhiannon! How can you pay them so much money? Where do you even get that kind of money?” Mr Clark angrily and in disbelief.The money he believed that Rhiannon paid them was so generous that he wondered where the latter always got her money from as he really gave her money.“Why do you need to know?” Rhiannon asked as she raised her eyebrows as she didn’t care about the curious eyes on her.“Why do I need to know? I am your father! How can I not know how much money you got? What if you are doing
Sitting on her bed which was covered in green bed covers, she felt that she was lucky. Even though her father didn't love her and her grandparents were gone, she had her stepsister and fiancée who loved her deeply. She vowed that she would return their gratitude one way or another.Rhiannon stood up as a thought flashed in her mind making her walk to her closet while humming to choose the perfect outfit.After scanning her dresses one after another, she picked a green dress since green was Aaron's favorite, and had always said that she looked more beautiful in it."Ma'am, are you going out?" Mary, the housekeeper and the one who took care of her after her mother's death asked. To her, Mary was like the second mother whom she wished for. Always caring, and kind and made sure that she never slept with an empty stomach even when she was been punished."Yes, Mary. I am going to surprise Aaron," the lady said with a charming smile on her face.Looking at the young mistress smiling, the old
She felt her head was heavy and throbbing. She tried opening her eyes and after a couple of tries, she gradually opened them only to be met by a white ceiling and white-painted walls. From the room's smell, she knew that she was in the hospital. Trying so hard to think how she ended up here, she later recalled the misfortune she had passed making her sigh deeply."You are awake," a deep voice said coldly, making her wonder what kind of a person it was to talk to a patient in that manner.The man who was seated on the couch beside the hospital bed was looking at her emotionless making his secretary who was leaning against the door wonder what his boss was thinking."Go call the doctor and tell him that she is awake," he said still not averting his eyes from her.His words made her realize that there was more than one person in the room. Anxiously, she tried to wake up and sit so that she could know what was going on."W...ho," she tried talking but her throat was aching badly since.Th
Rhiannon was shocked to hear the words that came from the man's mouth."What makes you think that I would get married? To you especially?" she asked as she tried her best to stay calm.Amused by her cute angry face, the man said with a wicked smile on his face," Why won't you? Aren't I your greatest benefactor? I saved your life. If it weren't for me, you would have been dead by now.""Yes, you are but I will pay you instead. How can I get married to a stranger just because he saved my life?" she asked since to her the man was not been reasonable."I saved your life, can't that be enough reason to want you to also save my life?""But you aren't dying, are you?" she asked curiously since she could tell that the man was so fit and couldn't be suffering from any terminal disease."How would you know if you won't accept my offer?" he asked as he wondered why the woman was still refusing his offer.He looked at himself through his phone's screen wondering whether he wasn't good-looking any
