Oliver's - [P.O.V]

I felt ashamed of myself in their Midst.

"Oh wow, the good for nothing son in law is here... In a family meeting where he is not even welcomed in." Auduson said standing by the side of Ciara's parents who were both glaring at I and Ciara.

Ciara turned back to look at me.

"No matter what... Please avoid asking anyone for help and please try not to talk to me." She said to me and I nodded in acceptance.

I was so unworthy to her that she didn't want me even talking to her at all.

But at least... I could make that bastard jealous.

I took further closer steps towards Ciara.

Keeping my dick bulge directly over her ass.

I didn't look at it either.

I acted as though all my concentration and focus was on waiting for Mrs Elberta to come into the hall and speak.

I was purposely romancing her just so that I could get Mr. Auduson really upset.

I could see him burning in jealousy.

Then he walks up to me.

"You filthy poor thing... You should leave already before granny comes here and catches you." He said to me as though I was a kid.

He keeps his stare seductively concentrated over my lips... Causing me to feel weird as well.

I wondered what he was thinking about.

"Greetings everyone!" A voice storms the entire parlour and everyone immediately turns around arranging themselves in return while Mrs Elberta storms into the hall.

She had a very powerful presence.

"Today I held this meeting, so that I can successfully share the inheritance of this family to who will take over all the organisations and companies that have been built by my husband... if some certain things could be done... I will therefore consider giving that person all the exclusive rights over everything that is under me." she said and Ciara turned to look at Auduson who was by the other side now staring back at her.

Like the goat that he is.

"And I know that you all would want to know what price has to be paid in order for me to allow any of you to inherit over 600 billion dollars that my husband had left for his entire family before he died, right?" she asked looking back at me for a while before smiling in return as they rest nodded a yes to her.

"I once looked at my granddaughter - Ciara as someone that will grow up one day with her intelligence to take care of the wealth of this family but I think I was wrong hoping for a good future for Ciara."

"She ended up marrying a son of a poor unknown man signed by my husband and this is the reason why I cannot let her inherit the wealth of this family." Miss Elberta says and the rest of the family began to mock Ciara under their breaths.

I could see that for their granny to even rate Ciara as the best to inherit the families was already making them hate and envy her.

They began laughing sheepishly as they stared at her who was standing still while looking straight at her grandmother who was staring back at her as well.

I stood thinking for a while.

Was I this worthless and useless?

They even used me to Mock my wife.

No atom of respect was given to her or me.

I felt bad for her especially.

And I didn't blame her parents for hating me either, the truth is I had nothing to offer.

"But rest assured... Whoever will be taking all the assets that my husband had left for his company we have to accomplish five tasks and the first task is as follows..." She said standing on her feet.

So this family has six hundred billion dollars.

No wonder they're stinky rich.

Obviously one of the richest families in the country if I'm right.

"Let me start with the so-called Predator Corporation incorporation... Of which my husband has been trying in all his ways to ensure that he brings down... Hence they have refused to back out"

"They accepted us to be their lifetime competitor, which means that we're supposed to be even richer than we are right now." She said.

"So! whoever can buy all the assets of the company so that our company can own at least 99% of the company's shares would be really appreciated with this family's wealth if that can be done as soon as possible! so that the soul of my husband can finally be at peace." She said.

"This is just my first task... Who is willing?" She asked.

Everyone was silent.

"Who will accept this challenge?" She asked again.

I looked at Ciara who looked sad.

She has been insulted and thrown into the lowest of rank because of me.

After this meeting, I think it would be best if I just leave her house.

Especially since she will be unable to help me with the money in need to save Maltina.

Ciara needed her peace from an unknown man's poor son who came in rags and is stressing her life everyday with her bearing and tolerating me for days.

I wished things could be different.

Maybe things would change by the time I am gone.

I touched Ciara and she looked back at me.

Her eyes were red already.

I guess the insults and humiliation granny had given to her must really hurt her so bad that she began to cry in return.

My heart began to melt seeing her in that situation... I wanted it to stop.

"You should give it a shot." I said to her.

My spirit felt like encouraging her so she could do what is best for herself, instead of watching her hide her wounded heart as her eyes were reddened from humiliation.

"Predator Corporation incorporation isn't a small company though but I can help you pass this task Ciara." I said behind her before she turned.

She kept looking at me before she turned back.

"I accept your challenge." She said and everyone immediately turned to look at her with shock.

She has suddenly dared the same granny who just told her that she would be a useless grand daughter and wife of a useless son-in-law.

Granny looked at her surprised.

I could see that she was wondering where Ciara's boldness had suddenly come out from.

"I have heard about that Company... It is impossible for her to strike buying such a huge amount of assets." One of her cousins mocked her and the rest of the family members began to laugh at her.

"Enough!" Ciara's granny silenced the parlour.

"Indeed you are my blood Ciara!"

"Achieve these first tasks and I will let you know the second tasks and for the rest of you... I hope you become as valuable as Ciara is." Granny said before leaving.

My phone began ringing.

I picked it only to hear Maltina's doctor.

"Rush!" He shouts.

I could hear Maltina crying in pain.

"She's dying." He said before the call cuts.

And she made the twins in her arms to smile at the monkey, but they never responded.“Why did you say so?” the nanny asked, nursing the twin in her arm. The twin was wincing and might begin a heart-drenching cry soon.“They are free. We are not.

    Meyer couldn’t stop moping at the twin baby boys while they slept peacefully in their cradle. Today would make it two days she put to bed of the twins, and her joy knew no bound ever since she brought the cute twins into this life; the doctor had congratulated her for the safe delivery and told her she defeated the feat of conducting a caesarian on her, because the twins were overgrown and two big to be born freely. She was glad to experience child birth. When she was very much younger her mother would tell her that child birth was like a woman having a hard stool. But today she could say it was more than that; the joy of procreation couldn’t even let her believe and confirm what her mother had told her years ago. In a short while, a young lady of Mexico origin, who was tall, and tan in complexion walked in, looking all smiles, with opened arms. She rubbed Meyer slightly on the arm.“Oh wow, congratulations,” the lady said, advancing to the cradles where the twins were. She peered

    When Mrs. Fanny shook her body she felt the warmth of a hairy body, and for once she thought she was in her bed at home, of course with no other person than Ken, since he too was hairy. As soon as she rubbed her eyes had two fast blinks and opened her eyes fully she was staring at her G-string and dress on the floor, and she almost called out Ken to query him for making love to her in her tipsy state; knowing how much she fancied being conscious and engaged during love making. But then she perceived a strange fragrance; Ken never smelled of honey; The fragrance was typically honey; as though the person had honey comb on his body. Gradually she tilted her neck to the left only to behold a neatly shaven face smiling at her.“Hello baby,” the strange man said to her, all smiles with appreciation for nice sex hanging in his eyes.“Sexy dragon!” Mrs. Fanny exclaimed and flinched from the stranger. “Oh my goose!” she yelled, sat up and squeezed her face with disfavor. “Who are you? Oh dam

    Mrs. Fanny felt numb and betrayed, and spending her night at the edge of a night club was one way she had gotten over heartbreaks in the past. Only on such days could she be called alcoholic. As she glared at the bottles of beer and rum on her table she caught hold on a cigar on her table and lit, before she had her first draw of smoke and started pondering over Ken; yes she had played the folly and it was time to draw the curtains against Ken and move on with her life. She wouldn’t want to run to Fanny, even though she knew that Fanny still felt a thing for her and would give her opened arms should she dare to return to him. To her there was no difference between fanny and Ken now, and she had put them in the same box. Cheats. liars. Betrayals. Fools. She would have to search for more words to describe the worst of men she had regretted knowing.“The night was damn lonely despite the sonorous music and rowdiness of the night club.She was interrupted by a groaning voice that came at
