CHAPTER EIGHT

Walking towards the table with the food tray, Owen recognized the couple that was currently discussing and smiling.

'There's no doubt..that's Kate and Chris McLean.' Owen pondered internally, clenching the tray in his hands and anger surging through him but he chose to Surprise it and act cool. After all, he wasn't sure if they were here on a date or business meeting.

Kate did inform him last night on how she wishes to secure a job at Echelon Industries, and Chris was a worker there so it's possible they were only in the restaurant to make a deal or something.

Those were Owen's thoughts as he approached the duo.

"Here's your order." Owen spoke, hoping for Kate to glance at his face and smile, instead she didn't spare him a glance as she kept giggling with Chris.

Owen fumed in anger but chose to remain cool and place the meal on the table.

"Hey, come over here!" Chris ordered just when Owen was about to leave. "What the fuck is this?" Chris questioned, pointing towards the food in front of him.

"What do you mean? That's definitely what you ordered for." Confused by Chris's words, Owen asked.

"I didn't order for this shit! Get it out of my sight!" Chris roared with veins popping out on his forehead .

"But.."

"Are you deaf or what?" Kate voiced out from where she sat. "Get this out of our sight and bring in what we ordered!" She added.

Owen was taken aback after hearing the words she spoke as he struggled to digest it. Owen wanted to react but he still chose to remain cool and clenched his fists before responding.

"I am sorry." Owen bowed his head slightly as he picked up the tray and walked back to the kitchen.

Few minutes after Owen entered the kitchen he walked back out with a different tray and different sets of dishes.

Owen placed the tray on the table and Chris leaned forward to examine it closely.

"This isn't it! What the fuck is your problem, you poor bastard! Is your poverty now affecting your brain or what?" Chris voiced out in anger.

"Please, understand that I am not the one serving the food. I am only the waiter who delivers it." Owen explained in a respectful tone.

"Yeah, that's what I thought...you are nothing but a low-life waiter. Take this out of my sight before it descend on you, stinking thing." Chris retorted with a sneer.

Owen bowed his head once more and walked back to the kitchen with the food.

"What's the matter, Owen? Isn't that your wife out there?" Mia questioned with a confused expression.

"Yeah, it's her, and I also don't understand just what is going on that's why I am still cool and doing as he says." Owen responded with a saddened expression as he picked up a new tray of food and walked out of the kitchen.

He went ahead to their table and placed it on it, and once again Chris leaned to examine the food.

"Better." He smiled after his examination. "Now go get us two bottles of the most expensive wine." Chris ordered.

"Why didn't you order it all at once?" Owen frowned a bit as he turned around to go get the wine. Minutes later, he arrived with two bottles of red wine and placed it on the table.

"Open the wine and pour it into our cups." Chris ordered with his mouth filled with food as he took another bite.

Owen clenched his fists in anger as he watched the duo sit comfortably eating and ordering him around like a slave..but there was nothing he could do.

Owen opened the wine and filled up both their cups and attempted to leave, but Chris used his elbow to hot the cup of wine, making it fall and shattered upon making contact with the tiled floor and the wine spilled all over.

"You, worthless trash! Are you trying to stain my limited edition designer shoes or what!" Chris voiced out in anger. Owen gazed at the shattered cup on the floor and knew Chris was the one who intentionally spilled the wine.

"I am sorry. I will go get a wiper." Owen said in an apologetic tone as he walked away. If not for the fact that he was yet to sign the documents of the companies his father handed over to him, he would have left the hotel.

Even he has 100 billion dollars right now, he couldn't just drop out of work all of a sudden without looking suspicious.

Owen returned with the mop and was now heading back to their table, while approaching the table, Owen froze on the spot and the mop dropped from his hand after catching a glimpse of what was happening.

Chris could be seen kissing Kate on the lips and Kate was visibly enjoying it and kissing him back.

With what he has seen now it was clear the duo were here on a date and Kate doesn't even regard Owen's presence and chose to cheat right in front of him.

Both anger and sadness surged through Owen as he watched the two connect lips right in front of him. Just when he was starting to think Kate was different from her family and planning to elevate her, she had to do this right in front of him.

Owen clenched his fists tightly in anger as he charged towards Chris, shoving him to the floor and his body stained the red wine on the floor.

"Get off of me, you bastard!" Chris lamented as Owen sat on top of him and sent out a punch that connected neatly to his face.

Owen's punch slammed heavily on Chris's face and caused blood to be drawn. Owen pulled his second fist backwards and punched it out towards Chris's face once more.

"I am going to kill you bastard!" Owen voiced out as security came in and pulled him off Chris.

She had thought of what happened between her and her mother earlier and now, she was feeling a little bit guilty. She could clearly understand the kind of pain and confusion her mother was in, and yelling at her that way was like pouring salt on an open wound. She had to sleep over it to realize that. Mario shifted on the bed and she understood he was trying to sit up. She sat up and he did too. They sat facing each other and he gave her a look that said ‘I told you so’ . “Don't give me that look” Kate said as she bent her face. She was already having a bad day without getting out of bed. She stood up from the bed and stripped to the bathroom. She washed her face and cleaned her teeth before coming out. She met him in the same position she had left him and she gave him a questioning look. “Aren't you getting out of bed?” She asked. “Hell, I am

    CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY FIVE They had been standing for the past ten minutes and Danny had not said a word to them even after everything Tyla had said. The guards had stopped banging the door and Rose Mary surmised that they had come to a conclusion that banging it would not make her open it. She had a cunny smirk on her face. “What do you say Danny? Just a word from you and those men outside will back down. You can end this, you alone can end it” Tyla continued, hoping she could convince her even though her hope was very low. “So, I should let him go? Is that what you are trying to say” She asked, her gun still pointing at Owen where he knelt on the floor. “Yes, and we can all go home in Peace” Rose Mary replied this time. “Here you are, talking of peace and still having a gun pointed at me. How peaceful that looks” Danny taunted. Owen looked between Rose and Tyla and he gave her a slow nod. She gave Danny a thorough look before gently bringing the gun

    CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY FOUR Rina sat on the floor in the bathroom, she had left the shower on so she could cry and shout without anyone outside noticing even though she knew they wouldn't notice since the walls were soundproof and she had shut the door damn tight. She couldn't take Tyla's voice off her mind, the statement repeated itself severally in her ears and she tried to shut it off, but it wasn't working out. Of all the times, now that she had finally fallen for him, now that she had decided to be good, live a good life and make kids with him. She laughed warily. It seems fate has its own way of making decisions. She had finally become a first wife without even asking for it. Never in her wildest dreams would she think that something like this would actually happen. She didn't grow up in a polygamous family so she wouldn't want her kid to grow up in one as she knew about the issues that always resulted. She got under the running shower with her clothes on

    CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY THREE She never thought Gabriel would think of coming here in this lifetime. “What the hell is Gabriel doing here?” She asked no one in particular “Tell him I'm on my way” she told the girl before going back in and she heard the girl leave. She went back into her room and she wiped the tears off her face and applied a little bit of makeup to shield her swollen under eyes. She came out after a little time and she went downstairs to see Gabriel. He came with his assistant, his handbag as she addressed him before. “To what do I owe this pleasure?” She asked as she walked down the stairs majestically. Gabriel and the man raised their heads up simultaneously to look at her. “Tamara” Gabriel called and she cocked a brow at him. “What is it Mr man?” She asked “How's Daniel?” He asked and she chuckled loudly. “Oh, you remembered to ask of him today. That's weird, did something happen to Owen? Huh? Best father of the year” She said, her voi

    CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY TWO “Hands up where I can see them” she heard him say again and she obeyed without complaining. She heard an engine roar and in no time, the whole place lit up. It seems they had put on the generator. She cursed as she saw the person pointing the gun at her. It was the man from earlier, the one she had not killed and she regretted that decision right now. She should have just killed him, but it was too late. Sb couldn't turn back the hand of time. She raised both of her hands up in the air and she saw another shooter come out from the back. It was Danny and it seems like the woman recognized her too because she smirked when she saw her. Tyla gave her a bored look, she had this haughty smile on her face. “What a surprise Tyla, looks like Owen couldn't man up and come by himself, so he sent you instead. That's funny” she said,her smirk not leaving her face. “Well, he didn't seem you worthy enough” Tyla replied with a calm smile and Danny cocked

    CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY ONE “Unfortunately, I can't. You have to listen to me” Mario yelled back and that earned him a glare from Kate. “I do not regret it because no matter how many times I look at it, all I can see is the day you walked through that door and then the moment you agreed to marry me” he paused for a while. “At first, I had decided that I would just play along until it was time to leave, but after spending a day with you, here in this house, I fell without second thoughts. I do not know what you have done or what you are doing to me Kate, heck I didn't even marry you out of love, but I can gladly tell you that this man right here is on a leash and you Kate, are the one who holds that leash” he paused again. He could see she was literally struggling with the tears that were threatening to pour out any minute. “I understand why you're acting this way, but I just want you to know that I am very sorry and I wish you would actually forgive me and we can go b
