Tales Of Love

She squinted, the caller ID is not a familiar one. All the same, she answered the phone. “Hahaha…. Tola Diego. I’ve gotten you in a place that really hurts. That’s the punishment for being cruel” the caller declared before the call was disconnected. Tola froze momentarily.

It’s a female, and the caller seemed to have a grudge against her. But could it be Aurora? No it can’t possibly be her. She had no strength to contend with her and her daughter.

“Who…who was…that…mum?” Eve Diego stammered. She felt very uncomfortable with her mother’s scary looks. Has someone threatened her or was there bad news?

“I don’t know Eve,” Tola Diego answered with a shivering voice. Who was that caller? They’ve lost everything and Caden’s life is in danger. Of all times, now is not the time for her to be experiencing an unfamiliar voice, taunting her.

Eve Diego doesn’t know maybe she should cry. She signed her shares to be transferred to that anonymous person for the sake of keeping her deeds secret. She didn’t know her mother had Suffered same fate.

Why does she feel she’s Suffering from retribution? Karma was catching up on them. They had devised the same method in forcing Aurora to do what she did that sent her to prison.

Same method has been adopted by her and her mother and they fell for it. Her father’s life was in danger and is all thanks to her and her mother for playing a significant part in the cause of his heart attack.

In St Petersburg, Aurora had ordered Grey to present a letter of resignation to the Axel group. He was going to be the acting CEO of fallen Diego group now turned Starlight holding.

Grey did as he was instructed and his resignation raised suspicion. Mira wasn’t happy about his resignation. She tried persuading him to not Leave and even promised to talk things over with her brother if he wants a higher position.

But Grey refused point blank. No matter how hard Mira Coaxed him, he bluntly refused her. Thus, he resigned and the Axel group had no option than to let him go.

When Santiago Axel received a letter from the acting CEO of the Axel group in Florence City that Grey Logan had resigned. He could guess already that the Diego group had really fallen and the Starlight holding was buying over the company.

Grey was definitely taking charge of the new branch of Starlight holding in Florence City. His woman was indeed powerful. Till the very moment, he was Sure Caden Diego and his family didn’t know that Aurora was the one who pulled them down.

Yes, Aurora, a daughter and member of the Diego family. The saying is true, do not throw stones in the marketplace. Caden Diego had been the one to make reports at the police station against Aurora even before he arrived there that very day. If only, he had known that he was actually making complaints against his own daughter!

Eli Rowan and his wife Lisa had made an appointment with a gynecologist at Mile’s recommendation. This was going to be their second visit.

Lisa would have loved to go and see the doctor accompanied by her mother in-law but Eli insisted he was going to be off duty and would want to accompany her.

Lisa’s belly was only slightly protruding. It was barely thirteen weeks. Eli drove all the way to the hospital. When they arrived, the doctor had stood up and shook hands with Eli . “How do you do Mr. Rowan?” the doctor had inquired.

“How do you do too, Doctor Clement?” Eli and the doctor exchange pleasantries before Eli pulls a seat for Lisa to sit down.

“How have you been, Mrs. Rowan?” Doctor Clement asked in a friendly but yet professional way. “I am fine doctor”

Lisa answered beaming with a gentle smile. Her smile was contagious and as she raised her head to look Eli in the face, he was smiling at her.

“Do you have any complaints?” the doctor asked in a relaxed reverent tone. “None,” Lisa answered. After asking more questions like “are you feeling nasal, do you throw up, do you feel like not having an appetite for food?” Lisa answered all his questions accordingly.

The doctor gave them more advice on how to live in all the three trimesters of the pregnancy, he wrote some prescriptions for them.

From their previous ultrasound, the little fellow was doing just well and they needed to set their worries aside.

On their way home, Lisa told Eli that she wanted to eat an ice cream. Without asking any question, he halted when he saw an ice-cream shop.

He got her favorite Ice-cream with a creamy vanilla flavor. Lisa’s eyes lightened when Eli handed it over to her.

She soon started scooping it into her mouth. She was almost half way through the Ice cream when she remembered, she was going to gist Eli something really interesting.

“Darling” Lisa called Eli with a month filled with Ice-cream. The latter turned and glanced at her briefly “Mm” Eli responded with a grunt.

“President Axel was with us for dinner last night. Everyone was happy to see him including, grandfather” Lisa explained happily. She was also pleased with the handsome President Axel.

“Who is President Axel?” Eli inquired with a squint. Not that he was not familiar with the name, only wondered why he would visit his family and have dinner with them. He was Surprised further that his family were pleased to welcome him.

Lisa frowned slightly. Does it mean Eli didn’t know who President Axel is?
