Rose tried to calm Michelle. She didn't want her to regret what she's saying. Even if Francis hurt her and she wants to throw him out of her life, she should consider the kids. She just watched as Michelle kept sobbing softly, tears running down her face. She explained what Francis did to her at the club. Rose was annoyed but, she can't let that annoyance result to bad judgement. "You two aren't married yet. Don't let what he did hurt you. Just be strong so you can take care of the kids" she said. Michelle smirked."I can't believe I'm taking advice from you"Rose laughed and Michelle joined. "My life has been fucked up ever since I entered that dating app. I should leave""You met good people from there... At least""Frederick is not a good person. I think he's trying to find me. I can't let him win" "I hope you take care of Kelly and Chloe. That's my concern" Rose said. Michelle smiled and hugged her tight. "You're like my sister now""Of course, I am" Rose said. They both la

Michelle took the kids to school the next day. She pulled over in front of the school and some parents started staring at her. They started gossiping and laughing. "Hey, go to class now. See you two later" she said to them. They nodded and left. Just while she was about to enter the car again, she saw a picture outside the notice board. She rushed to it and saw how she stood in their midst, looking like a cleaner. It was the picture of the parents and teachers gathering. She started breathing hard, trying to control her anger. She tightened her fist angrily. "Mrs Michelle, you look so hot in that photo" one of them said and walked away. The others laughed. She frowned and left. She would have destroyed the picture but it would ruin her reputation. She entered into the car and drove off. She went back home and tried to calm herself but, she heard some clattering noise in the kitchen. She thought it was a thief because the door was locked. Slowly, she reached for the flower vase th

Michelle's eyes wandered around the man on stage. He spoke elegantly and maturely. She couldn't believe she spent the last days with him. He just acted to be averagely rich, went to a middle class hotel instead of a rich one. She could understand why he met him for the second time at the CC mall because he owned it. The CC stands for Christopher Croydon. She smiled as he ended his speech. Everyone sprung up and clapped for him. There was no glimpse of joy on his father's face. Christopher must have taken over from him, just the same way he hardly show emotions. He bowed and alighted from the stage. He walked to the table. "Good job" his father said. "Thank you father" he replied. There must be something going on between these two, she swore she could feel it. "Sit down please" he held her hand, wanting to help her sit. But one of his father's wives reached for a napkin and ruined her dress with a glass of wine. No big deal about that. She saw the hatred in their eyes the moment s

Ginny angrily threw everything on the dinning table away after hearing the news from her father. She won't get married to Christopher but another stranger she hasn't met. Her parents exchanged glances with each other. "Ginny, show some respect!" Mr Will yelled. Ginny raised her head and glared hard at her father. "All my life, I've showed respect to you father. But, I'm sorry I won't do that today. You promised to get me married to Christopher and you must fulfill that promise!" She yelled. Mrs Will pouted her lips and tried to step over the broken ceramic on the floor to get across to her daughter. "Oh dear, come on now. Don't be upset with your father. It's not his fault Mr Croydon had to change his mind. He knows about Michelle being your sister. He wants Michelle for his son. He claims he can't decide for Chris""Chris is nice. He'll answer once I explain things to him. I know very well for a fact that he's under a spell. How will a rich hot young man want to get married to a u

Christopher got out of the hotel with Michelle. She was about to enter her car when Chris stopped her. "Hey"She paused and gazed at him. "Listen, there are some things you do not know yet about me. Once you come into the Croydon family, you'll start to understand. Then, you'll support me" he said. "Are they bad things?" She asked, remembering what Trevor told her earlier. He swallowed hard and didn't say anything. "I'm doing all of this for my kids. You don't need to worry about me" she said and entered the car. Immediately, she zoomed off. ..Michelle kept replaying what Michelle and Chris said to her today. She thought of changing her mind about marrying her because of the kids. "Mom, is daddy coming today?" Kelly asked. She was even surprised to see Kelly talking these days. "Of course not, you'll see him on Wednesday" "Argh!" Chloe groaned. She watched them go back upstairs. "I'll call you when dinner is ready!" She yelled. The kids kept talking about him, thinking abo
