“I went for an abortion. You haven’t touched me in two months. And when I realized I was pregnant, I knew Tate Owen was responsible. I couldn’t keep it for fear that you’ll know and for the fact that I don’t want to have another child for Tate Owen as a married woman.
Tate Owen had threatened me with the paternity identity of Maxwell and promised to blackmail me if I don’t turn myself into his plaything. Since then, l’ve been a slave to his torture till date” Anna explained it all to him amidst tear.
She concluded by saying “I am sorry. I wouldn’t mind signing the divorce papers”. She stood up and went into the bedroom leaving Julian Brabra behind. As soon as she got into the room and shut the door, she broke down in tears.
She lost to Tate Owen. He had tortured her to his satisfaction and then ruin her marriage. He told Julian Brabra everything she had Suffered from him just to keep a secret.

Tate Owen is a lawyer and a brilliant one at that. He would not rest until he gets his Son from her. She cried until her tears stopped flowing leaving her to sniffle audibly.
When Julian Brabra heard Anna shut the door, he pulled his tie and threw it on the floor. He blinked his eyes several times to keep the tears threatening his eyes from running down his cheeks.
Julian Brabra bit his lower lip and sighed audibly. He sank into the sofa and was lost in his world of regrets.
That night, Santiago was stepping out of his bedroom when his phone started ringing. He went for it before he saw that the caller was his grandfather.
“Santiago you should return back to Florence City. I don’t appreciate you trying to transfer the company’s head office to a foreign country” he heard his grandfather grumpling as soon as he answered the phone.
He knew he had to convince his grandfather to have him transfer the head office here. He had to be here in St Petersburg, if he wanted his woman and kids to be his.
“Give me some time grandfather. I have a reason” Santiago replied. He doesn’t have to explain anything further. How was he Supposed to tell them that his children are close by and yet he couldn’t even get to spend time with them?
“How much longer do you want? Your mother and sister are equally worried about you and want you back as soon as possible” grandfather Axel inquired.
“Soon grandfather. Good night” Santiago replied and dropped the phone. He couldn’t end the call not to seem disrespectful to his grandfather.
He took a towel and dried his hair. His mind drifted back to the beautiful face of Aurora. How cute it would be to be a family of four. He would get his love back.
While Santiago was alone in his world of fantasies, Aurora couldn’t sleep, she logged into her phone and stared at the handsome smiling face of Santiago.
Why hadn’t he come to look for her again? Wale Jones had told her that President Axel of the Axel group was still in St Petersburg.
He didn’t sue her like he said. She knew Santiago was one that preferred a private life. He hates going public. She wants to see him but her pride wouldn’t let her call him. She thought of an idea that would make her meet him soon.
Starlight Holdings was inventing a new project, [paper making] and needed an interested company for partnership. She will hold a CEO meeting and invite the Axel group. This is her way of seeing Santiago soon.
