CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE
They sat in the living room of the mansion. All are in-laws looking at him. In surprise and in shame. But not grandmother. The woman was just hell bent on accusing him of kidnapping his wife.But the rest seemed to be okay at the moment. Well, not completely, but they didn’t accuse him as she did.“He could have kidnapped her and after seeing we are giving him a hard time, told that mistress of his to bring my granddaughter back,” she spoke, pacing up and down with her stick.He just sat there, not daring to say anything. And he could have done whatever he wanted at this moment. Chase them out of his mansion because, after all, they have done nothing but bother him.But again, they refused to drop the charges. Said they will not believe a word he was telling him. And they will do about anything for him to pay for everything they were accusing him to have done.Micheal looked at him from where he was standing. Silently asking him again why he was tolerating this ungrateful family. But

CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO
All of them at the table were in panic and suit. He looked at Mubanga and she just went and took her seat to the side. What could the woman do about it? She was just a secretary.“Trevor, you need to see what you do about this. We can’t just sit here waiting for things to go well. We need to find out what happened. You have lost one of your customers, more will be lost,” James spoke.He sighed, looking at the article that Mubanga just handed me. It was the opening of a new wine company in town. And the damn place looked very elegant and pleasing to the eyes.“I’m sure they will be getting wine from that new company,” she spoke, looking at all of us at the table. “I will go there to find out more about it. Their annual opening is tonight,” she spoke.“I’m coming with you. We need to know who and what we are dealing with here. We just can’t sit here and forget about this. They knew our customer, and they knew how to best beat us to get that customer. Someone knows something,” He spoke.

CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE
“Eliza, I need you to come down, I know this is a lot to take in, but do chill and think before making a decision,” Trevor spoke as Eliza paced up and down in the room.“But what do you suggest I do? I can’t lose that company, Trevor. I just can’t. Grandfather trusted me with it,” she spoke and stopped pacing.He sat there quietly, thinking about what she just told him. How she could stand a chance of losing the company when he did everything he could to buy the shares for the company?But by what she told him, there was a possibility of her losing that company.“Eliza, it’s you company, and you are allowed to do whatever you so want with it,” he spoke. “And besides, you and Jackson will be married soon. Isn’t that what you wanted? I’m sure you can work something out. I’m not in your way anymore,” he spoke casually, as if what he just said was supposed to be said. Normal to be said.She was silent for a while then walked to sit next to him, took his hands and put them on her laps, “Tr

CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR
He sat in a car with just Eliza. Micheal dropped off to go and do whatever he wanted to do on the way.He studied the people at the party and the ones he was seeing weren’t giving him enough assured that this will be a good party. Though he was getting some ideas about the person, that might be behind this new company.“Trevor, I think we will be okay. I know you are worried about this. You were talking about it while I was seated here,” she added after seeing his look. “But if anyone can overcome this, it’s you,” she smiled for good measure.He also forced a smile on his face, “thanks for those kind words, Eliza. And thanks for agreeing to come with me even when I was acting crappy when asking you out. I appreciate it. But I’m not changing my decision about chasing them out of my house,” he spoke.“I know that, and I’m with you on that one. Because of them I have done way worse things to you even when I wanted to do something opposite of what they were telling me. And thanks for even

CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE
They sat in the room as he paced up and down. Looking from Eliza to Mubanga. Trying to see how to best outdo Jackson and his father for what they planned for him.This all thing was pre planned for him. They wanted people to see him acting all violent.“Trevor, what is going on? Why are you so quiet all the sudden?” Eliza asked, standing up.He turned to her, this was because of her. They knew he wouldn’t allow anyone to be near her and much less Jackson. They used her against him. Used his love against him.“What was Jackson doing or saying to you?” He asked, stopping two feet from her. “What did he want to tell you if he got the company from you?” He asked.She looked at him questionably but answered, “well he came to say hi and then he started acting weird and touching me. I told him to stop doing what he was doing to me,Mubanga, but he said I have to agree to his demands. That was all,” she explained.He thought about that for a while, “did he say anything apart from that?” She ju

CHAPTER TWENTY-SIX
“Eliza, you didn’t have to do what you did. I know you were trying to help out, but I think you just put yourself on their target list,” he spoke as he drove them home. “Now, they will be coming for you. And you work together with them at the same company. Also, your mother and grandmother loves them,” he added.She just smiled at him, “you think way too much. I know what I did and I don’t regret a thing I said to them. It was the truth. And people needed to know what happened. They have blamed you for far too long,” she spoke.He just sat there, trying to thinking things through. Why wa sit that when he was supposed to separate from her? That is when she started acting like a wife material. She began acting like she cared and she will do anything to keep their relationship.He just blushed the thoughts away and just drove. Both just looking at each other and smiling but said nothing to one another.After driving for a while, Trevor’s phone rang. “Micheal,” he answered.“You case was

CHAPTER TWENTY-SEVEN
They all kept looking at each other as he laid down rules to them. He knew it was going to be hard for them, but that was what he wanted. To make their lives as much miserable as they did with him.All he ever did was be nice, and that was something they were not listening. He tried acting nice to them despite having enough money, but they were still hell bent on making his life hell.“Trevor, don’t you think that is too much? They can’t stay in that place,” Eliza whispered in his ears.He was silent for a while, then he smiled at her before getting back at them, “you need to be thankful to her for all she does. She has been running the family business ever since your grandfather died. And what have you done for her in return? Nothing,” I told them and they all just looked down. “Mateo, you are welcome to stay here if you want. Mother and grandmother alike. But there is a condition,” he smiled at his mother-in-law.She just looked away and then asked, “what is that?”“Pretty simple, a

CHAPTER TWENTY-EIGHT
The whole thing was stupid. Why would they suggest he was selling illegal wine to people? They knew it was false, but they were not stupid to bring it up, that he knew much.He knew it was all planned because Jackson was now losing Eliza to him. Because the woman finally realized how much he loved her after he saved her from Natalia.But he was far from that. He told himself he only did that because of humanity. Because he had feelings and cared for her. He might have loved her once, but that was far gone as far as he was concerned. But now she was head over heels for him. And that all thing was leading to this.Jackson hated Trevor from the start. He wanted to make him pay more than anyone wanted. First, Mr. Noah married Trevor to his granddaughter, who he loved so much. Then he found out the man he pushed around had inherited a fortune. Of course, the man was furious about that.The only thing that was making him feel like he can have Eliza was the fact that he was richer than Trevo

CHAPTER TWENTY-NINE
He just stood there like he had been struck by lightning. This was something he didn’t expect coming from her. They are words he had been longing to hear from her. Words he wanted her to say to him so badly.But with time, he never expected them anymore. He lost all interest in hearing her tell him those three words. Why did she have to do this to him at a time like this? All he wanted now was to forget about her and focus on his business and life.He suffered so much at the hands of this family and he never wanted to do anything with them anymore. He no longer wanted anything that tired him with them.But now she just told him she loved him. She brought joy to his heartbeat, back to life again. Suddenly, he felt like a heavy weight was lifted off his shoulders.He felt peace and comfort again. Something he had lost a long time ago. He kept telling himself he was over her and after she nearly killed him, he never wanted anything to do with her. But maybe those were just words he used

CHAPTER THIRTY
After he finished dressing up, he walked downstairs in a hurry, then Eliza called him after seeing him pass in a hurry as she was at the dining table waiting for him.“Aren’t you eating? You still have about a few minutes until the meeting. You will be tired,” she said, smiling at him. The woman was willing to try everything she could to get him back.She didn’t even mind his earlier comments. She was still trying her best to get into his good books.“I don’t think I will manage Eliza. I will be late and I would not want to keep them waiting. Those old people already hurt me for some reason. I don’t want to give them more reason to think I’m wasting their time,” he said, looking at his wristwatch.“Then let me pack the food for you, you will eat it once you have some break from work. If that is okay with you?” She spoke as she stood waiting for him.He was silent for a while as he thought about that. He knew allowing her to do these things meant he was willing to give their relationsh
