Three days later both couples were laid to rest at the St Louis cemetery; surprisingly Kessy was in attendance well, not for her father but her mom.
"Thank you for coming sis" Pete told her sister as she stood beside him
"I came for moms sake" she said casually.
" I know but dad left you the company" Pete told her which stunned her
"Why will he do that?" Kessy asked
"I may not know his reasons but I know he regretted his actions towards you" said Pete
"Ha, Mr Bold regret please spare me that" Kessy said as they exit the cemetery gate. They were the last to step out as the Monk had left.
These three days hasn't been easy on Edward James and Maria. Edward James now thinks Maria wants to ruin his wine company and so he has gone all out to bring her down but she seems invisible as he was lost on what to hold against her.
"Boss I've found something on the young mis_ Maria Moore" Dave was going to say young mistress but corrected himself when he remembered his boss has forbid everyone who knows about their marriage from referring to her as his wife.
"What did you find?" Edward asked
"Here_ it was said she survived a fire ambush which killed her father and brother but there was an investigation that proves she's orchestrated the fire outbreak but a mighty force stopped any further investigation and she was prevented from the law" Dave said but little did he know the strong force he referred to is his boss. Edward James who listened to what his PA just said remained silent and was lost in thoughts.
' all I've ever done was for her good and happiness but never had I imagined the wolf I saved is gonna destroy me someday_ LOVE is a scam and selfish, I've loved you over these years but you kept pushing me hard against into the abyss Maria, you wouldn't know what hit you because am gonna strick you so hard" Edward James thought to himself but his assistant just received a call from one of Edwards men and he hurried to check the News.
"What the hell! How did this happen?" Edward James thundered as his attention was drawn to the live streaming news on the television.
"How dare he!!" Edward James asked as he stormed out of his office.
Somewhere in the city Cent Clark was over the News with the claims that he didn't murder his wife and kids but was framed by Edward James whom the later got married to his wife and abducted his child.
Edward James mood was just like the burning hell and if Cent Clark was right before him he would melt off the Earth surface in a blink.
Not ready to get his reputation or that of his family soiled Edward James walked into the City Broadcast News channel without care of the on going news.
The female staffs who saw him come in were spell bond as they wonder how someone could be this handsome and the forgot about the news circulations about him.
"Sorry am late" Edward James as he entered inside the studio where the anchor and her guest were seated.
