He looked at her with rage burning in his eyes when he asked again, “what the hell are you doing here, Natalia? I thought I made it clear that you need to leave this place,” he spoke and finally allowed Eliza to get out of his grip.“Well, I thought about everything. Your offer of me allowing you to be safe,” she spoke and walked past him, then locked the door and put the keys in her pants. “And I reached a conclusion dear,” she spoke and looked at Eliza. “I’m sorry that things didn’t work out between us, but it was nice doing business with you,” she spoke.Trevor stood there dumbfounded, trying to grasp what she was saying. What does she mean it was nice doing business with her? Was she saying that to him or to his wife?And if to his wife, when did Eliza and Natalia meet and began doing business together?“Oh, you didn’t tell him? Whoops,” she spoke and slapped a hand on her mouth. “I thought that is the reason his dragging you up here like a mad person,” she smiled at Eliza.“Natal

He looked at them again, waiting for them to say what they wanted at his house. Why they would even show up and block him from going to work? But they just stood there. Watching him.“Aren’t you supposed to say something or anything? What do you want here?” He finally asked.Then one of the police officers spoke, “Sorry, sir, but someone reported you to us that you kidnapped their sister or something. So, we need to take you in, if you don’t mind.”He smiled, trying to be sane in all this madness that was going on in his life. As if messing with his company was not enough, they have gone to this extent.First, his wife hired some messed up assassin to take him down. When all he has ever done was love her. All he ever wanted was for her to love him back. Nothing more. But that is what she repays him with.And then they messed with his company and now this.“Listen, sir. I think they have been a misunderstanding here.....” before he could finish up the tall dark one spoke.“Anything you

“What do you think you are doing?” Eliza asked as Natalia locked her up. “I thought you were just messing with me and playing along. Like part of the plan for you to do what I asked you to do. What the hell is the meaning of this, Natalia?” She scolded.“Oh, precious lady. Seriously, woman. What the hell did you think was going to happen when you get involved with an assassin? I kill people for a leaving, woman,” she spoke and turned her back on her. “I need money or I will go hungry to bed. And I can never do that to my beautiful self,” she spoke.“But made you think Trevor will show? What I did to him was worse than everything I have ever said or done to him. He will not show up here to save me. And much less spend money on someone who wanted him died,” she spoke as she looked down.Natalia turned with a smile on her face. “That is what you think. Because sadly, you never got to learn to say what is inside your husband’s heart. How did he ever end up marrying you in the first place?
HEIR TO THE NOAH’S EMPIRE(son-in-law) CHAPTER NINETEEN
He sat in a rather dim place. With only one source of light. And they seemed to be no hope inside. But he was trying to hold on to the little hope he was left with.He looked from left to right. Pupils a bit dilated even though he was trying to pretend all was okay. That he got this.But the truth of the matter this was beyond anything he could have ever thought of. This was something he never imagined to happen to him.One day, he was excited that he was now rich and could afford anything he wanted. That no one will ever look down on him. And the next day he was locked up. How was that even possible?Was it a curse or what? Destined to be poor. The moment you have money, some messed up crap happens.Before he could lose himself in thoughts even more, the same police officers that took him in walked in. Smiling.He looked from one to the other. Putting on a rather determined face.“So, here is what will happen. We will ask questions and I expect you to be truthful. This will save both

“Wait, back up a little. You said Mr. Noah helped you to marry her?” Micheal asked.Trevor smiled and took a sip from his coffee. “Yes..” he began. He then went on and told Micheal all about what happened. How he was treated by the family after Mr. Noah died.All the humiliation he went through by his wife’s friends and all her workmates. How Jackson never missed a chance to make sure he felt like he was a good-for-nothing person.How his brothers-in-law treated him and how they beat him up when he went to the company. All he went through he explained to Micheal.The man was just in awe the all time. At some point, his eyes even got watery.Trevor smiled again, “man, it is really nothing. And I need you to be strong for me. I didn’t hire you to break down in court.”“I’m not crying,” he argued.“Whatever. Should I continue or the little miss would want to take a quick break,” he spoke and laughed lightly.Michael’s face actually turned red. “Trevor, I’m happy you are having fun despit

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

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.

“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

She clenched on the floor as she held his head. A blood smile stretched across his face. But she cried even more. How and why was this happening to her and her family? She nearly lost him back then and now she might lose him for good.“It will be fine. Just hang in there,” she said, pressing her hands on the gun wound. Moses stood eyes wide open a few feet away. He looked scared, worried. Mubanga didn’t look any better. She didn’t want any of this. Yes, she wanted to get that freedom she thought she needed. But she didn’t want anyone to die. Not like this. Abigail was the only one looking better. She didn’t seem to be too surprised or as worried as the two. She actually looked relieved. “Eliza…” “Don’t even say anything Moses,” she snapped, looking at him. “You know he would have helped you with whatever you needed if you just talked to him right? Was this really necessary? You could have come and talked to me. Now you have killed our brother and look at my husband. I will make s
CHAPTER 83
Moses was pacing around the living room. His wife sat on the couch with her hands on the sides of her temple—her gun in hand. She looked scared, worried. Could it be that she was guilty about shooting Mateo? But she was heartless, at least that was what Trevor and Eliza thought. Trevor was soothing Eliza as she cried, looking at the body of her brother on the floor. What would she tell her mother and grandmother? What would they even think about her and Trevor now? They already don’t like him, and now this. “Eliza, we will be fine. I won’t let anything happen to you and the baby. I have to die for that to happen…”“Don’t say that,” she looked up at him. “I can’t lose you, too. I won’t lose you as well, Trevor. There is no way I will raise this child alone.”He forced a smile, “I won’t die. We will be fine.”There was silence as he thought about what he was doing. What if his plan fails? What then? He couldn’t risk Moses finding out about what he was doing. Messing up again was nev

They both went running to the living room. And then hit a stop after seeing Mateo on the floor. “Trevor!” Eliza screamed and rushed to hug Trevor. “Mateo! What will I tell our mother? What will I tell his wife and kids?” She cried on his shoulder. He just soothed her as he looked at the blood on the floor. Mateo was gone. Just like that. This was more serious than he imagined. Whatever he thought this was just changed after this. And the next body could be Eliza’s or his if he didn’t play his cards nicely. He needed to think of a better plan to get out of this one. “What happened? I thought you said no killings. Why would you kill Mateo? He is your brother, for God’s sake. Why would you ask your psychopath wife to shoot him?” He snapped, walking to stand a few feet from Moses. “Moses, listen. We talked about this. I was going to do whatever you wanted me to do. And then you were going to leave me and my family the hell alone. But so much for that.”There was silence, Moses looked
CHAPTER 81
His heart was pounding. How did he allow this to happen? Why was this happening? And who the hell was the woman with Alexander? Alexander gestured for them to take their seats. Because he had a gun, it wasn’t like there was a lot they could have done. They just followed suit and took their seats. Eliza held on to Trevor’s harm. This was not happening to her again. As much as she was trying to be strong and not thinking about what happened, it still did, and the thought of it happening again didn’t sound okay with her. She looked at Trevor, and he just smiled, silently telling her it was going to be okay. “Listen man, whatever you need I can…”He scoffed, “you can’t give me crap Trevor. And if I listen to you saying you will do the same thing you did. I didn’t want to do this. I asked you nicely to give me what rightfully belonged to me. But what did you guys do? You played me and my wife like a fool.”“Wife?” They all gasped. “Yes, wife. You thought I wasn’t married. I told you e
CHAPTER 80
The next morning, he woke up and found Eliza wasn’t in bed. And suddenly his heart skipped. He jumped and rushed out of the bedroom, shouting her name. When he couldn’t find her inside, he rushed outside the house. Shouting and hoping she was still alive. How could he allow her to be kidnapped again? How could she have been kidnapped again? And by how? Could have Alexander managed to enter the house and take her? He went around the house, and there was no sign of her. After a while of searching, he went inside the house, got his phone and called her. Luckily, she picked up.“Trevor. Morning,” she answered from the other side. “Where are you? Are you okay?” He demanded, his breath shallow. “I’m at a supermarket. I wanted to get a few things. We were running out of supplies. What is the matter?”“You left without telling me. I got worried. After what happened, I don’t think you should be walking outside alone. You should have woken me up, Eliza. What if Alexander was waiting for y
CHAPTER 79
The room was eerily quiet, his friends didn’t look as anxious as he did though. They knew what was happening and what his board members were going to say. Could they have been thinking of throwing him off the company? He was the one with the most shares, but what if they voted him out? What then? “So here is the thing,” the woman began. “We are old as you can see,” they all laughed except him. “And we can’t keep doing this anymore. We have done our part, and it’s now time for new people to take it up. Right Eliza?” She looked at his wife who just tightened her grip on Trevor’s arm, but nodded. “We, as the board, you excluded, have decided to leave the company.”His heart sank. “What do you mean by leaving the company? You know I can’t run it without you guys. The only reason it has been able to stand for all these years is because you guys have been there. You can’t do this to me.” He demanded, and before he knew it, he was pacing. “You need to revisit that plan of yours. I can’t and
CHAPTER 78
The whole thing seemed way too good to be true. Not that the news all together was okay, but the fact of him finding out the person that kidnapped his wife. Bad that too, the person he has been telling them was not good.He turned to look at his wife, and she was lost in thoughts. He just rested his hands on her things and smiled at her as he drove them back home again.“Trevor, what if mother is right about Alexander? He is still my brother, and I was the one who brought him to you guys,” she said.He just kept his smile on for good measure, “Elizabeth, you don’t have to worry about that. You have just been through some major trauma and I don’t want you to start worrying about your half brother. Yes, he is your brother, but that will not change the fact that he tried to kill you,” he pauses as he takes a breath. “Listen, if it turns out it’s him, I will take care of it. You just worry about being calm for that baby. We do want that baby to be safe innit?” He said,She sighed, “alrigh

“What are you doing here, Eliza? And with him,” her mother said glaring at Trevor. “You know how we feel about him. And mother is not feeling too well, him being here will only worsen her condition. I would leave if I were you,” she added and took her seat. Eliza just sighed as she looked at Trevor then walked over to sit next to her mother, “I’m fine thank you and how are you, mother,” she said, smiling at her for good measure. She never wanted what happened to them to happen. But things just happened and there was nothing she could have done about it. She tried helping them but they made things worse for themselves. Even Trevor didn’t want to chase them out of his house, but he had no choice after what they did to him. They were not his favorite people in the world, but for the fact that they were his wife’s family and that Mr. Noah wouldn’t have liked for his family to be elsewhere, he wanted to help them. But fate happened. “Mother I will be having your grandchild for the lov
CHAPTER 76
She wanted him to remain outside because she knew what her mother and grandmother felt about him. But again, she might need him inside. He might be the person she needed to keep her company and make things make sense. She hoped. They walked into the elevator in silence and it went up. He wanted to open up, he wanted to tell her why exactly he wanted to come and talk to her mother and grandmother so badly. But again, he didn’t want to ruin this. And besides, he wasn’t even sure of what he was thinking might have happened and might be going on. But he just wanted to conform and get them out of the picture. Make sure they were not involved in any of this. Or else everything will be ruined for him and her. They got out of the elevator and walked to the room in total silence. “Again, are you sure about what you are doing? You don’t have to do this, Trevor. Don’t be stupid. You can wait for me outside or anywhere I can find you. I know them and it’s better if I talk to them alone,” she
