“When we were married and my father forced me to sign a lifetime contract to solely work for the Smith
family, I had no choice but to do so because I love you so much that I would do everything for you."
"When I first started working for our family business and my father didn't pay me as I was supposed to
be paid because he said you married me for my money and you'll take our money and live, I trusted Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
you, but I couldn't convince my father because he has never trusted my judgement since I was a child."
"I had no choice but to continue working, even though he was paying me less than my actual salary
because I thought they would realise you loved me, and change, but that didn't happen. When you got
pregnant with our child and went into work. while I was on a business trip and they refused to send you
to the hospital, saying you're not a family member even though they knew you were My wife and you
could die together with our child if not given help on time."
“I was disheartened and felt humiliated, I felt guilty because I wasn’t there to help you in the most
difficult moment of your life, what’s worse! you were bringing our little angel into this world. I went to my
dad and begged him to let me and my family leave the Smith family but he refused and said I signed an
agreement If I can’t own to it, I better divorce you”.
“I couldn’t imagine my life without you or our little girl so I decided to stay and work in the Smith group
but on that day I promised myself to work harder and make sure that you and our daughter have a
bright future even when I’m not around”.
“I called one of my friends whom I went to college with, we meet and I told him about my problems with
my family. I wanted him to find me a Job I can work secretly without the Smith family knowing and he
told me the best news that changed my life”.
“There was a company that was about to go bankrupt and there share holder are selling out their
share. And if I had money I can buy shares because according to his investigation, the current problem
of the company is temporary. Within a few months it will go back to normal”.
"I had money left to me by my grandparents that even my parents didn't know about because it was
given to me, when I turned twenty, because they never loved or showed any affection to me, I couldn't
tell them about it, so I kept it a secret from everyone."
“When my friend told to buy shares in a company that was about to go bankrupt, I was scared at first
but I said why not try out even if thing doesn’t go back to normal, at least I can put a few changes in the
company to make it work”.
“I bought 85% of the company shares in our daughter’s name, making us the biggest share holder and
the owner of the company”. Within a few months the company grow and as the years went by it’s now
the leading company in City A.
“So honey, we do have money; we have a company called SAS group! It has now grown that we have
also open branches in other cities. I have been managing it behind closed doors so many people don’t
know that I own that company. So honey will you be joining me tomorrow as we start our new
adventure of life”.
By the time he finished speaking, his wife and daughter were in tears, and Sandra, who had witnessed
waves, couldn't stop crying. She couldn't believe her father, whom she had always seen as a coward,
was capable of such a thing.
She thought, "What will the Smith family do if they find out that her father is the richest person in City
A?" She couldn't stop herself from laughing out loud.
Her parents asked what was up with her, "why are you laughing?" She laughed until tears welled up in
her eyes and said, "I was wondering what the Smith family would do if they ever found out that you're
the owner of SAS GROUP."
His wife chuckled as well before asking her husband, "honey, with the power the SAS group has in this
city, why didn't you leave the Smith family?" You could have broken that deal and gotten our daughter
from that village."
Sandra was intrigued by the matter as well; she thought that her father was wired as well, if not had
multiple identities.
"It's true I had the power, but I promised my grandparents I'd look after the Smith family, and I was
thinking that might be the case," Andrew explained. My people will adore you for who you are. After all,
there are my parents, and I wanted their blessing, but I guess it will never happen."
"I wanted my parents to be the ones to send me away from the Smith family; that way, it will be on
them, and I won't have the shame of breaking my promise to my grandparents."
"I knew our daughter was safe with grandpa's friend because we used to go there and visit her." Every
time she was fine, so I couldn't put her in the hands of the wolves."
His wife smiled and complimented him for loving their family and risking his life and future for them.
"Honey, I guess now I have to work harder to be on the same level as you, not that I always thought of
you as someone inferior, no, but today I feel I need to fulfil my dream," she informed her husband.
