“We found you on the streets, you were about three, according to the doctors calculations and since we wanted a child, we decided to bring you up as ours,” Mrs Laurette said to Amber.Amber was left dumbfounded, she had just found out that her biological parents didn't want her, and not just did not want her, they also abandoned her in the streets, Without taking her to the orphanage for proper adoption.“No this can't be true, you all are liars,” Amber ran out of the living room.“Baby!“ Mrs Laurette called.“Amber!“ Mr Oliver followed Amber behind.Mrs Laurette was about to go after her husband Mr Oliver, but something made her stop. She turned to Mr Cooper and his wife Mrs Emilia, from their expression, they were Shocked by the news.“This whole thing is all your fault, you caused this whole mess,” she pointed her finger at both of them.“We are so—sorry,” Mrs Emilia mumbled.“Sorry?“ Mrs Laurette wondered why they would be sorry, after hearing that Amber wasn't really adopted, M
“Amber,” Mrs Laurette mumbled.“What are you guys talking about? Or is there more I need to know?“ Amber lifted a brow.“Come take seat Amber,” Mrs Emilia instructed.“Mother, I don't think she should know yet, I'm not even sure that what you're saying is true, we haven't gotten deep into it,” Mrs Laurette said to Mrs Emilia.“What is it this time? and what is it you're hiding from me again? Aren't you guys tired of keeping secrets from me, aren't you all tired of hiding things I need to know? It's my life for crying out loud!“ Amber yelled, this made everyone shocked and the room became quiet.“Since you've asked to know the truth, here's what you need to know,” Mrs Emilia was about to speak, but Mrs Laurette cut her off again.“Look amber, pay no heed to what your granny has to say, she have never liked you, why would we believe what ever you say, Father,” Mrs Laurette turned to Mr Cooper who has been silent for a while.“Father, tell me what Mother is saying is not true, tell me th
“Ruby?“ Wayne said.“We'll you're right boss, I'm sorry I haven't reached out to you in a while. I had some cases to settle, but I'm fine now that everything is settled, how have you been?“ Ruby asked.“Well I'm good thank you,” Wayne responded.“How about the company? I heard the project is completed,” Ruby mumbled.“Oh, yes you're right, and we will be having an opening party by next week, I'm sure you'll be there,” Wayne said.“Yes I will, I definitely will be there, but I have a question,”“And what is it?“ Wayne asked.“Uh— I'm not trying to sound selfish in a way, but—uhh, will Talia be coming too?“ Ruby asked.“What sort of question is that?“ Wayne asked.“Please don't get me wrong boss, I just want to know,” Ruby mumbled.“Well I guess you have to see for yourself, do have a good day,” Wayne said then he hung up. Why did he react in such a way, just because Ruby asked if Talia was going to attend the opening party, does this mean Wayne is having a soft spot for Talia? Well…. w
“What! What do you mean by that?“ Aunt Matilda asked.“She ran out of the house once we told her that she is your daughter.“Oh gosh she must really hate me so much, I really need to see her, I need to apologise for all I have done,” While Aunt Matilda spoke, Mrs Laurette's phone began to ring. This made Aunt Matilda stop as they listened to the conversation.“Hello, who I'm I speaking with?” Mrs Laurette asked the caller.“Good day, I'm speaking with Mrs Laurette Cooper?“ The caller asked.“Yes, is there a problem?“ Mrs Laurette furrowed her brows.“I believe so ma'am,” “What do you mean?”“I am doctor Millian, your daughter got involved in a fatal accident that sadly took her life, I would send you the address to my hospital, I'm so sorry for your loss,” the doctor said as Mrs Laurette burst into laughter.“You must think I'm joking right? Hello, he—hello,” the doctor had already hung up.“No, no, this must be a joke,” Mrs Laurette mumbled.“Honey what's wrong?“ Mr Oliver asked, wh
The door to the small empty bar opened, the hinges of the weak door made a squeak because it was pushed too hard. Wayne was standing behind the bar cleaning a glass cup with a napkin, as soon as the men walked in, Wayne's shoulders slouched in fear. The men wore black coats and dark sunglasses. They had a leader who stood at the front and always did the talking, his name was Drex. “Hey old fool, where is my damn money!” he said walking up to Mr Jones. Mr Jones was standing behind the counter too and he owed these men a lot of money. They wanted their money back but Mr Jones didn't have it. Mr Jones was very poor and he had to go to the lengths of borrowing money from these gang men in order to save his business and put food on the table for both his son Wayne and himself. “ Drex, the deadline for the loan is not yet due. I do not have your money now.“ Mr Jones said, his shaky voice told Wayne how much trouble they were in, Wayne tightened his fist watching them closely. “Shut
“A Billionaire?How can an envelope possibly make me a billionaire father?“ Wayne furrowed his eyebrows together, contemplating if his father had possibly gone mad.“Inside the envelope is a train ticket, a map, and a letter. If you follow the map correctly, you will reach a big mansion, tell the guards you want to see Mrs Emilia, then give her the letter in there.““No father, I'm not leaving you here like this”. Wayne told his father firmly.He knew that Drex would return as he promised and he wasn't going to leave him here.“Go pack your things and quit being stubborn, Drex is going to be back, and i'm sure they'll Do something worse or maybe kill you, I can't protect you from him, and if we don't pay him his money sooner, he might even kill me too, so i need you to do this for me, for us!“ Mr Jones pleaded.“But dad, do i get a saying in this?”“No! Just go before these guys wake up and see you here.“ Wayne stared at his father terrified for a moment, before running into
Mrs Emilia texted all the household of the Coopers family to inform them about the emergency that had arisen and within an hour they all crowded the living room.The paper was passed to each one of them but Mr Cooper was the last to see it. The room became quiet because everyone wanted to hear from him. In the household only two individuals held the authority and power and that was Mr Cooper And his wife Mrs Emilia. This was a position everyone wanted, struggling amongst themselves, it was a villainous circle with Amber and her parents at the lowest of the survival chain, with no hope of inheritance. Mr Cooper Cleared his throat and mumbled.“Indeed!, this is my Father's signature, Amber will get married to this young man in a months' time.“ Mr Cooper said and Within a split second the room was filled with mumblings.“Oh no!““I can't believe this,”“This suits her right,”“Well she deserves him.” they all spoke to themselves, glancing at Wayne and Amber in disgust.“How can
Wayne drew his eyebrows together, glancing at her, he could tell her any amount he needed and go home to his dad so that he could pay off his debt, but his instincts kept telling him no.“Sorry but i can't do that Amber, I'm not a liar, and i have come a long way to honour my father's wish so i can't go back.“ Wayne explained with a straight face.“So you're just here to ruin my life right? I can't believe you!“ Amber said furiously, and then she stomped out of the room in anger. Aunt Matilda sat with both her husband and daughter Bailey at the patio when Bailey stated.“I can't believe Amber is getting married to a homeless man,” “Well she deserves him,” Mr Nathan said, taking a sip of his orange juice.“We were looking for a way to remove Amber from the heritage list and also the will, but i guess fate has done it all,” Aunt Matilda mockingly stated.“You're right mother, she belongs to the poverty stricken family now, that smelly dirty slave” Bailey said as they all burst into
