Chapter 10


    “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


    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 sry


    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 apany 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 ording to his investigation, the current problem

    of thepany 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 apany 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


    “I bought 85% of thepany shares in our daughter’s name, making us the biggest share holder and


    the owner of thepany”. Within a few months thepany grow and as the years went by it’s now


    the leadingpany in City A.


    “So honey, we do have money; we have apany 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 thatpany. 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 fromughing out loud.


    Her parents asked what was up with her, "why are youughing?" Sheughed 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 vige."


    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 exined. 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 andplimented 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.
