CHAPTER EIGHTY TWO “I can't believe I totally forgot about it, oh it skipped my mind” Rina shouted over the phone. Owen had just called to inform her about his upcoming birthday and her joy knew no bounds, she had totally forgotten about it and she blamed it on the chain of recent activities that she had been working on. “Yeah me too, I totally forgot about it. Mia was the one who made me remember and she wants me to have a formal celebration. Heck, it's just in three days' time, and I haven't even printed cards nor written the list of guests, this is so gonna be a disaster” Owen said as he smacked himself on his forehead. He had wanted to make it a low key party, but Mia was highly against it. She said she wanted to make this one special for him, by being the event planner and the chef of the day. “There shouldn't be any reason to worry, since I am already aware, we'll plan it well and make sure it doesn't end up as a disaster. It's just a birthday party, there shouldn't be m

CHAPTER EIGHTY FOUR The streets were bubbly and all nooks and crannies were illuminated. One would mistake it for a festival, but it was none other than Owen's birthday party. Mai had made sure that the whole city knew of the party. Since she couldn't really decorate the whole city in such a short time, (although she could, but she would end up wasting resources, and she wouldn't want to do that) she decided to pour out her best on the street, since it belonged to Owen in the first place. They had prepared varieties of meals, as they were expecting visitors from different parts of the world, although few had started arriving already. They had planned to start the celebration by 7:00pm, and they would party till 11:00pm. They had prepared as many as possible rooms for their guests that would love to stay the night and return home the next day. Owen had wanted to celebrate it low-key and quietly, but Mia was strongly against it. She had stood strongly on the point that he should

CHAPTER EIGHTY SIX Owen was exasperated, he had managed to convince Tyla to leave the party and wait for him outside, and right now, he was with Mia. She had noticed the commotion earlier and she had come to know what was really happening. Owen had told her that it was just a minor disturbance and he had assured her that he would take care of Tyla by himself, but what he needed right now was someone to help me look for Rina while he went to deal with Tyla who was waiting patiently outside. “Ok Mia, you'll just help me inform the security, do it cautiously, I do not want to cause unnecessary panic in the building. I'll go deal with Tyla, I'll be back in no time” Owen said and Mia nodded. “She had said she wanted to go take a pee and I am surprised because she wasn't supposed to stay this long, I don't think something is wrong because if it was, then she would have called either I or my Security guards, but she didn't so..” he shrugged “But just to be on the safe side,

CHAPTER EIGHTY EIGHT “What is going on here?” Rina asked and Owen immediately pushed Tyla off as if her body electrocuted him or something and from the way things happened, Tyal already guessed that this morning as his new bride. She was happy that the woman had met them in that position, so she wouldn't have to start explaining her stand. Owen was clearly uneasy and scared at the same time, but she was less concerned, it was none of her business. She had come for a dough, but she had ended up getting the full bakery. She never knew things would escalate to this extent. She thought she would just have a chit chat with him and leave but it seemed like fate had other plans for them. Owen had unknowingly set a trap for himself and it had clamped him tight. She knew it was time for her to leave, and she took a few steps back, picked up her purse that she had dropped on the bed earlier and was on her way out. She was already close to the door where Rina was standing when she heard R

CHAPTER NINETY “Hey mum” Kate answered enthusiastically over the phone and Maria chuckled. It's been a while since she got a call from her and she was kinda happy she called. “Hey baby” She replied “Although I love that you call, but I am still curious tho, to what do I owe this unexpected call?” She asked and Kate chuckled “Nothing serious though, it's just that Jake left the house and I am kinda lonely right now. I needed someone to keep me company, and you were my best guess, so I decided to call you. I thought you would be asleep already, but thank God you aren't” Kate said in one long deep breath and Maria nodded. She already guessed so. “So, what's popping?” Kate asked “How's the company and everybody?” She asked again and Maria rolled her eyes as if she could see her “Well, if you wanted to know about the company and the others, you would have come to check up on them, but you didn't and why, if I may ask?” Maria sounded annoyed, but Kate knew that she
