"Hello darling, how are you?" Lisa asked on the phone. She gracefully mounts down the stairs before sitting down on a decorated chair. "I am fine, mum. I miss you a lot. " A lady answered from the other end with a cute voice. "I miss you too and I can't wait to see you again." "Same here, mum. How is granny and everyone doing?" She asked. "Well, your brother had been engaging too much in the business and your grandmother doesn't seem to care."Lisa signaled to the maid beside her. "Repolish my nails. I am tired of this color. "Lisainstructed and the maid left to get the necessarymaterials. On her way, she kept wondering why the rich live their lives excessively. Her madam had done that nails two hours ago and now she was already sick of it? Was this what people referred to as being money drunk? "I will talk with Stephen so he doesn't stress himself out. " "Of course, Isabella. Anyway, your grandmother found a fiancee for Allen not quite long, a barbaric one to be precise." Li
Jane's face had turned pale on seeing Allen. Sheswallowed her saliva nervously and dropped the can. Charlotte on the other hand was starting to understand the ongoing situation. "Jane, that's the man I was talking about, the man who behaved rudely to me. " Charlotte turned to look at her friend who didn't say a word in return and traced her view. "Is the guy in the middle your husband, Allen? " She asked and Jane nodded. "OMG, he looks so handsome. But why haven't I seen him on the net? " Charlotte murmured. "Anyway, why do you look pale as if you just saw a ghost? He is a human being and also capable of feeling emotions, don't be scared. " Charlotte assured her.Although Jane had already planned out things very well, just the sight of Allen ruined her previous boldness. She could only anticipate what was going to happen next.Allen glanced at the woman in the garden, she wore dirty clothes and her hair was a mess which made her look cute. What was she up to this time around? He
Jane was in her room after checking up on her brother. She worea black nightgown and was cleaning her hair with the towel before drying it. She applied some lotion to her body and lay on the bed while browsing through the different theatre schools on a website.She had a passion for acting and wanted to become a full-time actress but her predicament couldn't allow it.Now that she was married to a billionaire, she could sponsor herself all through but the problem was how would she inform him? It was just a week towards the beginning of a new month and a new semester for all schools, she didn't want to arrive late. Since Drake wasBruno's doctor, he could help take care of him in her absence moreover Old Madam Ryan told her that she was free to do anything she wanted to do so why would Allen refuse her?Speaking of Allen, he was yet to scold her for what she did even though Jane believed that it wasn't wrong but she knew what might be going on in his mind and how it worked. Jane believ
Jane woke up the next morning feeling refreshed. She did a little bit of exercise on her bed before getting off it. The memories of last night rushed back into her brain and she felt dizzy all of a sudden. What spirit made her agree to Allen's challenge? Yeah, the spirit of not backing down from a challenge. Today was the start of it all and she did not even know what to do. She dialed Charlotte's number but it wasn't reachable. "Whatever it is, I will follow my heart." She murmured and went to the bathroom. After she was done with her wake-up routine she went downstairs for breakfast. "Good morning, Mr. Ben. " She greeted as she pulled the chair and sat on it. "Good morning to you as well, Madam. How was your night?" "It was fine, thanks. Where is Allen?" "Master has left for work." "Oh, thanks." Jane spoke and ate her food in silence until Drake made his appearance. "Good morning to the house." He threw his car keys playfully and caught it. "Morning." "Good morning sir."
A car drive into the mansion at full speed late in the evening and parked at its usual spot. Jane got out of the car with her brain filled with ideas for her challenge.She looked around to see if Allen had arrived as she walked closer to the entrance but he was yet to. She sighed. Before she could enter the mansion, her eyes landed on the building a bit away from the mansion, the building she was warned not to get into but wait, what was Kyle doing in there?She squinted her eyes to see the view more clearly. Kyle had his back turned against her immediately he was out as he locked the door. Before he could turn around, Jane entered the mansion hastily.She went straight to the kitchen where she met Ben already getting ready to prepare dinner. Her earlier thoughts about Kyle were quickly swept under the carpet. "Good evening, Mr. Ben." "Good evening, Madam. What are you doing here?" "I want to prepare dinner for Allen." Jane replied smiling and Steward Ben chuckled happily. "Wow,
Allen woke up the next morning, as early as he would always to prepare for work. He walked into the bathroom and had his shower before coming out. His cold eyes dashed towards the tray on the table. He only decided to eat the meal after Drake forced him to and to be sincere, it wasn't bad but was this a way of seducing him? Through food? Shouldn't seduction come through seductive means? Allen couldn't stop thinking about what the young lady was up to but his suspicion about her still made him have his doubts about who she reallywas.He picked up his phone and dialed Drake's number. The latter answered the call with an angry tone. "Won't you please let me sleep enough? What have I done wrong to you or your ancestors?" Drake lamented. "I have found a way to figure out the mystery behind your unseen prediction about Jane." Allen replied, not minding his unnecessary rants. Drake who was still in bed sprang up to his feet immediately, his eyes were now clear and wide open. "I am open t
Charlotte walked out of a television station and heaved a sigh of relief for the third time in a row. She brushed her waist-length brown hair with her fingers as she looked around in earnest expectation of a cab or bus.She had woken up as early as she could to attend the second interview for the past two days but the only reply they gave her was that we will get back to you.' "As expected.'' she thought and hissed loudly. While looking around, she sighted Kyle standing not too far from where she was and she smirked to herself. She hastened her steps to meet him with a huge smile. "Hello." She greeted.Kyle raised his bowed head only to be faced by the one person he never planned or wish to see that morning. Though Charlotte was smiling at him, he did not say anything rather he gave her a frown. "Do you remember me? I am..." "Miss Charlotte, how may I help you?" Kyle cuts in, his rude response made her face squeeze but she wasn't ready to let go of him now. "I know we didn't kick
Old Madam Ryan rocked her body on the chair she was sitting on gently. Beside her was Paul and her cup of tea in her hands was a newspaper. Her eyes reamed lazily on the front page. On the page was Stephen's picture and it was about his company's progressive works.Old Madam Ryan's eyes sparkled with inner joy at the sight of the information she had seen. She closed the paper and sipped her tea gently. "What do you have to say about Stephen, Madam?" Paul asked after a while. "I am quite impressed with his recent performances." She replied. "But why do you prefer to praise Allen more than him?" He asked and Old Madam Ryan glanced at him before returning her gaze elsewhere. "They are different from each other therefore they should be praised differently. You seem to compare them to each other and at the end, Allen gets to be favoured the most. Why? Stephen is your biological grandson, shouldn't he... " Paul didn't finish his sentence as he waited for her response.Old Madam Ryan chu
