"I said yes to the love of my life." Tanya wrote before posting her pictures with Colby on her social media account.Ever since Colby proposed to her, Tanya had felt as though she was living a dream. A few times she had asked Colby to pinch her to confirm to herself that she wasn't dreaming.Her weekend vacation with Colby in the Bahamas had given her some of the sweetest moments of her life. They went swimming together, ate breakfast at the luxurious paradise hotel, and gazed at the stars together at night. She had so many pictures of the brief time they spent and she had almost cried when Colby reminded her that it was time to go back home.He assured her that they would visit again but she knew it wasn't going to be the same. After taking almost two days to pick out some lovely pictures and asking for Colby's opinion, she finally posted the pictures that showed when Colby went on his knees and proposed to her, when they were dancing on the yacht, having breakfast at the paradise ho
In the days leading up to Colby's wedding with Tanya, he spent most of his time working in the office while Tanya spent most of her time trying to catch up in college.This was because Colby had promised her that they were going on a one week trip for their honeymoon. Tanya had no idea where he was taking her since he had insisted that it was a surprise but, she was excited all the same and hoped that the experience would be similar to the one she enjoyed in the Bahamas.In a twinkle of an eye, the day finally arrived. Maria had tried using different numbers to call Tanya and when she did not succeed, she sent her husband to convince Tanya to let him stand in as her father and give her away since they were the only relatives she had left.However, Tanya said, "Colby Tanner is both my father and my mother so do not burden yourself with trying to take on that role. When I need someone to step in, Colby will be there. "After she hung up, her uncle angrily complained to Matt, asking him
Sandra quickly pulled Tanya's body out from under the bed and carried her out of the room. She left through the back door and Colby knew that she had come in through the back gate. Someone must have opened it for her.He sent the important parts of the footage to Henry and sent him Sandra's pictures, address, phone number and every other information he felt would be useful to Henry.The police chief quickly sent some officers to Sandra's house and began trying to track her location using her phone number and satellite. Colby paced up and down restlessly as he waited for Henry to get back to him.He tried calling Sandra's number so many times but could not get through to her. He regretted leaving Tanya all by herself. He should have been there with her or gotten her a bodyguard at least. If anything happened to Tanya, he would never be able to forgive himself.Their wedding was already twenty minutes behind schedule and calls were coming in but Colby ignored them because he wasn't in t
Colby had just arrived at the scene when he saw Sandra push Tanya into the lake. He screamed, "no," and ran out of his car as he ran toward the lake.Sandra stared at him in shock, unable to believe that Colby had caught her in the act. Colby dived into the lake without any hesitation.Meanwhile, Sandra heard sirens blaring and knew that the police had arrived. She did not believe that Colby would send her to jail because he had made a promise to her late sister.However, she was afraid that if the police arrested her there, her face would be all over the news. She decided to run but at that moment, the police officers surrounded her and pointed their guns at her. Colby took Tanya out of the lake and laid her on her back. She had lost consciousness already but he quickly untied her hands, freed her mouth, and applied compressions on her chest until she inhaled and coughed out water from both her nose and mouth.As she stared at Colby, Tanya began to cry. Colby looked at Sandra who had
Tanya's heart beat continually as she walked to school. This was the day she decided to come clean before her crush. She was going to confess her feelings to him and damn the consequences. She wondered though, why Derek didn't give her the time of day. She was the brightest student in her class and people complimented her beauty whenever she walked on the road.Her classmates were the only ones who looked down on her, probably because she was on scholarship and was the only student who still carried an iPhone four but how was that any of her fault? She didn't choose to be poor. She was literally over the moon when her cousin got a new phone and gave her the one she was currently using and even though it was an outdated model, she cherished it so much. Even Elaine, her closest friend since fifth grade had given up on their friendship, she had claimed that Tanya was an embarrassment to her and had given her the silent treatment. After trying so hard to make her come around without s
"Do you know why Mr. Colby Tanner wants to see me?" Tanya asked the handsome man who was decked in a shiny black suit. He smiled again and said reassuringly, "it's not my place to say, Miss. However, Mr. Tanner is a very busy man, if he wants to see you, then it must be very important."Tanya sighed embarrassedly. Her clothes were quite shabby since she didn't have many and had overworn them. Even her shoes were nothing to write home about. She felt really self-conscious. If she had known that she would meet such a man today, she would have used her savings to get better clothes. "This way Miss," the man said, interrupting her thoughts. "Alright" she replied and followed him into the building. Tanya secretly hoped that she hadn't offended Mr. Colby unknowingly because no matter how much she thought about it, she couldn't figure out a reason why he would want to see her.They took the elevator together to the fifty-ninth floor. She was surprised to see that only Mr. Colby's office too
Tanya turned to walk away but ended up losing her balance and falling flat on her face. Colby Tanner couldn't help laughing at her clumsy behavior. Embarrassed, she immediately picked herself up and ran out of his office. She hurriedly took the elevator and headed down. As she finally exited Tanner Conglomerate, she turned back to look at the tall building again and everything suddenly felt surreal.She couldn't believe that of all the people in the world, a man like Colby Tanner really took a fancy to her. Her self-esteem was now boosted. She decided she was not going to give up, she would try the following day and confess her feelings to Derek. With this determination, she happily walked home.Colby Tanner lay down on his office couch, musing over what had just happened. He wondered what Tanya would do if he forced her into a corner. One thing was certain though, he wasn't going to let her slip from his fingers. She had evoked a certain longing in his loins which no one else had bee
As Tanya went to school, she couldn't help but worry about her family's predicament. When she passed by Tanner conglomerate, she once again recalled Colby's offer to her.Afraid that he was going to see her, she ran quickly and left the premises of his company. Colby Tanner saw her running away and laughed loudly as he found it quite amusing. He called his assistant and said," If Tanya doesn't agree to my terms today, make sure you throw her entire family out of the house. I want to see what she would do if I happen to be the only solution to her problems."Colby's assistant couldn't help but feel sorry for Tanya. He knew Colby Tanner never took no for an answer and Tanya had innocently come under his radar. There was no way out for her now.When Tanya got to school, she decided to swallow her pride and ask Elaine for help. She was hopeful that, for the sake of the relationship they shared when they were little, Elaine was going to help her.She could probably lend her the money or c
