Chapter 7
Edwin took out a golden bank card from his purse, with the word ‘Emily’ written in black on the background. He held it low in his hands.“Young master, this is a special card made by our Portland conglomerate. All expenses under the conglomerate are free. There’s also a credit limit of 1 billion dollars and the password is your birthday.”“Please use it first.”Andre hesitated a bit before taking the card.“What about my mother?” Andre asked.“Madam is fine and hoping to see you face to face someday,” Edwin answered as he lowered his head.There was a short silence before Andre finally spoke.“Tell my mother not to worry about me. Tell her to fix a convenient day for us to eat within the range of next week.”“Yes, yes master,” Edwin replied as he watched Andre walk away, then stopped a taxi.Edwin knew his madam would rejoice greatly upon hearing his son's request.~~~Getting in the taxi, Andre breathed a sigh of relief.17 years of hardship of hardship had passed and it was time to make a change.First, he needed to fix his appearance and get some clothes.He apprised the taxi driver of his intended locationand he was driven there.Arriving at a clothing store, Andre stood confidently watching his reflection from the glass door, his eyes shielding some thoughts.He sauntered with a bright smile crawling on his oval face.The sales attendant rushed over to his side with a smiles on her face. “You’re welcome to Fenti stores.”“This way sir.” She gestured.Sophia! Andre read from the tag on the sales attendant chest.“Sir, what would you like to get from us?”“Clothes and shoes!” Andre chimed.Andre walked gently after the lady, answering her questions.“What brands, sir?”“Louis, Armani, Gucci, Adidas, yes, and any expensive brand.”The lady nodded and led Andre to a section where expensive brands were displayed.Andre took his time to select the clothes of his choice, before walking out of the section. He bumped into Yvonne and Willow Smith on his way to the payment section.“Look who we have here,” Yvonne let out a taunting cry. “A pathetic ex-husband.”Andre ignored her, finding his way out of her sight when he was roughly pushed back. She tried to demean him but the words hitched in her throat after meeting Andre’s pair of glaring eyes.She changed her words. “What are you doing here? Are you stalking me?” She rolled her eyes on him.Andre ignored her as if she were a non-existent variable and strolled away.Yvonne didn’t stop at that as she chased him down to the cashier's desk.“Oh, you saw the spree online that I was goin' to shop my wedding dress, and you rushed down here to stalk me?”Yvonne became irritated and pissed when Andre ignored her. How dare a mere scumbag like him ignored her?“Yvonne, you should leave that good-for-nothing boy, and let go on our shopping spree.” Smith urged but was waved off by Yvonne.Yvonne's mouth even dropped open when she beheld a golden violet card in Andre’s grasp. She grabbed it fiercely and stared at it in bewilderment.“Where did you steal this from?” She questioned with a wary glance.Andre stared at her in silence, and said, “Give that to me.”“No, you have to tell me where you stole this from!” Yvonne fired, her eyes scrutinizing the information on the card.‘Emily Lan-Spen…’ she read out with her furrowed brow.Emily? Why would Andre possess a golden card that wasn’t his? Was this given to him by his sugar mummy?“Just two days after our divorce and you’re already working as a gigolo for a wealthy woman, or should I say you stole it?”“Give that to me! Do not invite problems with your hands.” Andre caveated in a stern tone as he glared at her.“I’m not giving it to you!” She yelled. “Attention, please!”Yvonne drew the attention of the security, bystanders, the sales attendant, and the cashier to their ongoing saga.“I think someone might implicate you if he pays with this stolen card!” Yvonne raised the card above her head.And everyone gasped at the sight of the card. The golden card was a rare card given to only billionaires who were worth more than 800 billion dollars and with a lot of billion assets to their names.Andre was cast a judgmental look, his outfits being taken into consideration.Nah!They shook their head, he wasn’t worth a diamond card talk more a golden one. He must’ve stolen it.“Yes! The cops should be called ASAP!”“How could such a man acquire such a huge asset in his hand?”They cursed hard at Andre.“How do you know I’m not the owner of the card?” Andre inquired with bloodshot eyes and a deep tone,“Well, who wouldn’t know? Even the blind would testify to this.” Yvonne said, pointing to the ‘Emily’ which was written in black on the background of the card.“Who did you steal this from? Who’s the owner?” Yvonne ignored Andre's pair of glaring eyes, further engaging him in a prolonged talk which prompted Andre to grab the card from her grasp aggressively.“He should be arrested! He must’ve stolen the card!” Yvonne cried out.“If care is not taken with the way you are screaming, I think you might develop a goiter.” Andre mocked.“Madam, you should take it easy. How about, he inserts the card in the point of sale, and Input the correct password? If he gets it right, he will be refer to the Economic Financial Crime Commission, and if he doesn’t get the password correctly, he will be arrested and arraigned for court over theft.” A man in a swanky suit suggested from the crowd.“Agreed?” The man added to his words.“No, I think this is a besmirch of character, if I got it right, she’s going to jail. Three months in jail won’t be too much, right?” Andre grinned as he fixed his face on Yvonne.Latest Chapter
Fine
Chapter 51Andre returned to the hospital to meet an empty space. When he returned to the receptionist to ask about his wife, Sasha. He was told she already left the hospital.He could hear their sneer from the background.“How come she never told him she was leaving if truly they were married?” They were right with their gossips. He had no time or the interest ti indulge in any unprofitable argument.“Thank you,” he looked over from his shoulders and smiled as he thanked them.As he stepped out of the hospital building, he dialed his wife’s number. It rang twice then it became unreachable.“What the heck?” he cussed under his breath and gripped the phone in his hands tightly.A thought crossed in his heart, but he shrugged of the ideas. There's no point trying to her Joe involve in this when it's obvious that his mother was shady and Joe was loyal to his mother.This was his mess do he's gonna treat it delicately.Swallowing a lump down his throat he made for his car.On the othe
Mother forgive those who kill my father.
“Mum, that is all in the past. I’m in love with her daughter now.”Andre held his mother’s hands firmly and locked his gaze with hers.“Her daughter is my wife,” he continued quietly. “And I can’t bear seeing her in pain.”For a moment, Lady Yvonne stared at him.“Mother… if Melissa Roland is with you—”Andre paused.The silence stretched between them, tension hanging heavily in the air. His jaw tightened as if the words themselves were difficult to say.Finally, he drew in a deep breath and forced them out.“Release her.”Lady Yvonne’s mouth slowly fell open.Shock flickered across her face before anger replaced it.She abruptly pulled her hands away from his grip and breathed heavily, as if something inside her had snapped.Her eyes lingered on him for a few seconds, searching his face as though she could not recognize the son standing before her.Then she turned her face to the other side.“I’m angry, son,” she said slowly.Her voice was low, but it carried a sharp edge.“And I don
Your wife’s mother killed your father!
Chapter 49“Son…”A faint tremor ran through his mother’s voice.Silence followed.Then a harsh cough broke it, thick and painful, echoing through the phone.“M-mother…” Andre almost bit his tongue as the word slipped out.Even after her apology and the sudden kindness she had shown him these past weeks, calling her that still felt strange. The word felt heavy in his mouth, unfamiliar.“Yes… son…” Her voice sounded weak and slurred.“What’s wrong, Mother?” Andre asked, concern creeping into his tone.“Didn’t Joe tell you I’ve been coughing and vomiting blood?”Andre stiffened.Joe had told him.The memory stung with guilt. Yet he couldn’t bring himself to lie.“Yes, Mother—”“And you still didn’t come to see me?” she cut him off. Her voice trembled. “Are you still angry that I left you behind?”She paused to breathe.“There were circumstances… terrible ones.”Her breathing grew heavier.“And before all that, I carried you for nine months. I stayed awake through your colic. I ran aroun
Puzzle
Chapter 48Andre povI rushed to the hospital to meet Sasha receiving treatment.Two men in a tailored suit were seated across her, one of them was scribbling in a book, and the other person mouth was moving.I trudged forth, walking over to their side. As soon as I got there, I sat besides Sasha and rested my hand on her hand.She flinched and looked at me with worry in her eyes and sighed.“So you were saying this must've been a murder attempt against your life?” The man In a grey tailored shirt, and curly hair to his forehead demanded with a hint of disbelief in his tone.Sasha’s squeezed around mine. Her lip quivered as she nodded her head.“And you're sure you didn't take any alcohol cause a branded whiskey bottle was found at the backseat and even a bottle of pills.My heart rang at the man’s words, and brows creased in shock.Sadha doesn't take alcohol so I’m amazed hearing the men in a tailored suit speak.I cleared my throat and their attention was fixed on me. “Sorry to int
Kill my son's wife
Chapter 47Back at the Rollins estate, chaos had erupted. Grandpa was pacing the living room, his face red and fury. Badmus had already smashed his glass of whiskey against the wall.“She’s ruined us!” Grandpa thundered. “She’s turned the entire country against us. Now, she's made us a target, Badmus! Every reporter will be digging into our history.” Badmus growled, “She didn’t name us, Father. But everyone will guess. The press already thinks it’s an internal feud.”Grandpa’s voice trembled with anger. “And where’s that useless husband of hers? This is his doing. He’s poisoned her mind!”Andre entered just then, his face unreadable, his shirt still stained faintly from the cut on his cheek. “If anyone poisoned her,” he said quietly, “it was this family.”Badmus took a threatening step forward. “Watch your tongue, boy. You think marrying into this family gives you power?”Andre gave a humorless smile. “No. But it gives me a front-row seat to your downfall.”Before either of them coul
What if your mother was the real villain?
Chapter 46Sasha’s shoulders shook as she sobbed against Andre’s chest. Her words came out in fragments, heavy with exhaustion and anger.“I hate them… I hate my family,” she whispered. “They’re monsters, all of them.”Andre’s hand rested gently on her shoulder. “Calm down, Sasha,” he said softly. “Anger won’t bring your mother back.”She turned, her eyes wild and wet. “They’re monsters, Andre! Grandpa, Uncle Badmus, all of them. My mother’s missing, and they’re still talking about contracts!”Andre sighed, pulling her closer until her shaking body rested against his chest. “Listen to me. Go home. I’ll handle this.”“Handle?” she repeated bitterly. “How? You saw what they did. You saw how they treat you, like you’re nothing!”He didn’t flinch. “Exactly. They think I’m nothing. That’s my advantage.”Andre brushed his thumb along her cheek, wiping away the tears. “Go home, Sasha. Trust me.”She wanted to believe him. She really did. But the silence that followed only made her heartbeat
