2024-10-14 14:14:06Alice Brown picked up her Gucci bag and walked majestically into her son in-law 's mansion
She smiled satisfactorily at the fact that Maya made her proud eventually.
Not that she blamed her innocent damsel for her mere mistake
She would rather hate the wretched Spence for seducing her daughter with his good looks.
In her younger days,Alice chose to marry Mr Brown for his money despite her undying love for Peter.
She was glad she followed her logical reasoning than her silly heart.
Who knew what countryside she would be rotten in as a farmer's wife.The thought of it irks her.
The butler rushed out to ursher her into the house much to her delight.
Maya waited for her mother at the door
They hugged each other lovingly and Alice kept blabbing about one thousand reasons why being the fiancee of the CEO of Golden Fingers supercedes her tittle of being a wife to a nameless goodlooking leach.
Maya couldn't be more proud of herself as her mother showered her with praises
The Grey mansion is truly a beauty to behold, it's walls were decorated with shimmering interior ,the Italian Chandelier stood out exceptionally.
Alice felt so pleased at her daughter's new found fortune
"This place fits in with your beauty" Alice said proudly
Maya smiled pleasantly,glad to finally get complimented by her picky mother
" I figured out too mum" Maya said smiling happily
" I didn't waste my youthfulness in poverty you see,I dated cheobal heirs.
But I remembered falling blindly for a farmer's son" Alice confessed rolling her eyes
" Really mother! You were in my shoes once" Maya said surprised
" Indeed I was,but I was slapped back to my senses when reality of my parent's demise hit me.
I met your father and got married to him" Alice said proudly
"Wow!" was the only thing Maya could say
" We need to talk daughter " Alice said to Maya eyeing the butler for his insensitivity
Maya took the clue immediately and gestured towards the butler to excuse himself.
He bowed slightly and walked out leaving them to their privacy
" What is the plan daughter?" Alice asked her countenance portraying mischief
" To birth the heir and make sure his properties ends up as mine" Maya said instantly going with her mother's flow.
" Not bad, are you sure it is his?" Alice asked gesturing towards her flat stomach
" It is,I made sure of it" Maya said smiling
" Good girl" Alice said proudly making Maya blush
" I need a favor from you mother "Maya asked using her most distressed tone
" Don't use that on me young lady,save it for your fiance, I was the queen of emotional blackmail" Alice said smiling
"I need you to connect me to the heir of Zillow Jade " Maya said sharply
Alice was lost in thought for quite sometime considering her daughter's request giving Maya a cold feet
" My pretty face is not enough to keep him interested for long" Maya pleaded desperately
" Hmmm true!" Alice said considering her daughter's stance
She remembered going extra miles to keep Mr Robbin Brown her husband's company afloat before his demise
After his demise,she inherited it keeping her well connected and owning some real estates that she invested in before the company went down the drain.
" Zillow Jade isn't my turf Maya, I barely know anything about the company but I will try to see if the tentacles of my connections can be extended to it" Alice said reassuringly
Maya nodded in understanding
" Please call in our lunch, I am famished" Alice said
Maya made a call to the kitchen section and within few minutes several mouth watery delicacies were served
Alice didn't waste any time in dishing herself every appetizing food on the plate.
" Did you hear anything about that loser?" Alice asked rolling her eyes
" Nothing at all, I guess he is sulking somewhere as he kept a low profile since" Maya responded
" Not that you need to bother, he was just your past mistake " Alice said reassuringly
Maya looked up at her mother,she remembered how Alice smacked her across the face the day she secretly registered her marriage to Spence
She did loved Spence at a time or maybe she still do.
Spence had always treated her as his queen unlike Leonard who has hit her twice already
She couldn't bring herself to open up that part to anyone,not even her mother Alice
She knew she deserves all the hate she was getting from Golden Fingers workers
She knew she wouldn't last long with Leonard but she wishes to climb higher.
She was more interested in trying out her luck with Ryan Hale if she could discarding the ill tempered Leonard.
A vivid childhood memory flooded her mind as she watched Alice murder her father
" Why did you kill him?" Maya asked out of the blue catching Alice off guard making her spill the expensive red wine she was drinking.
" Excuse me! What do you mean girl?" Alice said unsure
" I knew you killed dad,I saw you mum" Maya dropped the bombshell waiting and watching Alice's reaction.
Alice was silent for a while gathering together her thought.
She changed her posture to decipate pity
" I did it to ease his passing, he was in pain I couldn't bear" Alice responded convincingly
Alice brought out her handkerchief wiping off her crocodile tears
Maya wasn't fooled, she knew her mother already had several concubines since her father became bedridden.
She got rid of him to protect her freedom.
" I am so sorry daughter" Alice cried on but Maya stayed glued to her seat obviously not patronizing her trash
" I will kill Leonard Grey soon mother" Maya said boldly.
Unknown to the duo, a video recorder embedded in the chandelier picked up all their secret conversation.

“Are you going to arrest me now?”Selena’s chest tightened. Despite the fact that she tried to act tough in front of her brother and lover. She knew deep down, she was wounded. She had blamed herself severally for everything that happened while she was younger, it all didn’t make sense that she had to endure so much toxicity that she ended up as everyone’s nightmare.“No Sel, I said it earlier, I am not here as a detective.” Hale responded.Spence didn’t! He just looked sadly at his sister whose life had been ruined from the onset. He didn’t blame her, he dared not. She didn’t have the same privilege of a caring mother like Mrs Wellington. All Selena had ever done was thrive in the harsh world. He didn’t have to go through all that, all he lacked was wealth and now that he had all of that, he quite misses the old days.“How could you do that to a child?” Spence said at last.“I didn’t kill him intentionally, I just didn’t save him from harm, that’s all.” She picked up her phone and st

*Flashback* “I won’t condone this Pete.”Clara, Spence’s mum cried out angrily. She turned young Selena’s back and her eyes scanned through the scars that lie heavily on it, some of the parts still bleeding. She held Ryan who kept staring at the crying Selena. Peter on the other hand raised a defiant gaze and looked over at the damage he had done as if it didn’t matter at all.“She needed to be punished.” He said casually.Clara was made with rage. She picked up Ryan and took him to the other bedroom, Selena followed beside her and when she got to the room Lena, the mansion head maid came forward. Clara instructed her to treat Selena’s wound which she did gently. The other woman stared at the child’s back in awe.Her insides cringe at the thought of an adult doing that to a child. Lena had worked for Clara longer before she got married to Peter, a poor countryside bumpkin whom she somehow fancied; unfortunately, behind her back, he had always attempted to lay with her.“Lena, breathe

“Clara deserved her death.”Spence couldn’t wait to hear the rest as he splintered across the grounds. He hastily got into his car and zoomed off the premises not minding if his father had heard the loud screeching noise from his car tyre.He couldn’t process the information he just overheard rather an echo of it kept replaying in his head. He remembered all too well the first day he was given a tour of the Hale mansion. He had seen a large portrait of his mother hung in the hallway leading to his father’s room, unknown to him that it was merely a souvenir.He drove his way to his least expected place, the only place that was really home to him. Right into Mrs Wellington’s arms where he had spent his childhood. He remembered how much he had warned him about the secrets of the rich. Now that he was entangled in the web of fate and ended up as one, he didn’t know if he could live with knowing the secrets that came with it.Spence’s car came to an abrupt stop in front of his adopted moth

Chapter Ninety Seven: Granted Access.
Alice smiled warmly at her reflection. The red lip she had on suits her aged skin all too well. She smiled inwardly at the thought of proudly walking up to Maya and boasting of how impactful her contribution was to getting her out of prison. She knew that wasn’t going to happen if she didn’t do her assignment accurately. She made for her car and drove out of the house. Her first instinct was to drive to the Hale mansion and pay Peter a visit but she had a rethink. She hadn’t equipped herself well enough to fight that freaking user. She got to her destination and parked her car. Her eyes scanned the giant building facing her. The mightiness of Zillow Jade filled her heart with envy. If only she had waited just a little, it could have belonged to her daughter Maya. They could have both bought Spence’s fragile heart and ruled above him but it was too late now, There was no use crying over spilled milk. The security team at the front door scanned her belongings and she was let into the
Chapter Ninety Six: The Storm From Earlier.
Maya hadn’t been that excited to accept any visitation as she did that morning. She stared intently at her small mirror she hides at the back of her bunk. One of her minions held it in place while she prepped for the visitation.The correctional officer walked in and opened the gate for her. She literally jumped out of it with a huge smile on her face. She forged ahead that the officer had to heighten her grip on her. When they arrived at the visitation room, she let out a deep breath and flipped her hair to the side before walking in.Like the trillionaire that he was, Spence reeks of domineering presence and authority. Maya blushed furiously as their eyes met. She had always seen him well dressed even when he was her poor husband but she felt more intimidated by the fact that he wasn’t faking his appearance, he was truly rich enough to afford his needs.“Hello Maya.”“Hello there.” Maya said, sitting down opposite him.Spence stared intently at her. Maya looked nothing like his ex-w
