Chapter 1:
Rhoda Alexander sitting at her best friend's stall where she sells flowers as she went through the garden sniffing all the beautiful flower's when she got a text on her phone. She opened the text and saw an address to a hotel then a photo followed the address, she was shocked to see the photo as she screamed.
Her friend Melia ran to her as she asked what was wrong, she saw Rhoda was in no condition to answer her so she took the phone from her hand to see what she saw that made her react the way she did. She took her phone and she saw a photo of Rhoda's boyfriend Elijah kissing her elder sister Cindy.
Rhoda looked at Melia as she said "This can't be true right", Melia didn't know what to tell her as she had always had her suspicions of the relationship Cindy and Elijah had but she didn't have evidence to prove her claim but seeing the photo of Cindy and Elijah kissing she was so sure now.
Just then she received a phone call to deliver flowers to a hotel, when she heard the address of the hotel her face lit up as she looked at Rhoda then she closed the deal and came to Rhoda as she said "Girl, I just got an order to go to a hotel and guess what‼" Rhoda looked at her with tears in her eyes as Melia said to her "It is the exact same hotel in the text and do you know what that means".
Rhoda understood what Melia meant as she nodded saying "No I can't" Melia held her hands as she said to her with a stern voice "Look, those bastards broke your trust, for all we know this could be true or false but the only way we can find out is by going over there now" she looked at her wristwatch as she said "I have a flower delivery there in like thirty minutes so we need to get going".
Rhoda cleaned her eyes as she got into the car while Melia loaded her car with the flowers that were ordered, then she got into the car and then they drove off to the hotel. When they got there, Melia told her "Girl, don't worry I will sort everything here so you can go check out the room number and I will be with you shortly".
Rhoda stood for a moment as she took a deep breathe in then she walked towards the elevator, she walked in and then she got up to the floor where they were lodged. She knocked on the door and when the door was opened Elijah saw her and he was shocked to see her standing at the door of his hotel room then he said "Rhoda!" hearing that Cindy stood up from the bed and came towards the door as she saw Rhoda.
When she saw them, she was shooked as she took steps back then she ran away, and they followed her immediately, when they got down to the lobby Cindy held her hand and dragged her back as she turned with tears in her eyes then she asked "What do you want, you have finally taken my boyfriend isn't that enough why are you still holding me back".
Cindy smiled as she said to her spitefully "I just wanted to see your face well and see how broken you are" Rhoda looked at her as she said "What did I ever do to you, ever since we were young you have always hated me it wasn't my fault my mom married your dad if you hated it so much why didn't you speak up".
Cindy yelled at her and said "Yes I hate you and I have never ever seen you as my sister ever, your mom the only child of the Lockhart's married a poor accountant and after marriage she gave him an opportunity to work in the family's company and now your precious mummy is sick and what did we find out that she gave her entire wealth to you, she didn't even think about me or my dad, that hag of a mother you have gave all her wealth everything and even the mansion we live in, she gave it all to you so tell me, how can I not hate you".
Rhoda was surprised as she had no idea about the will her mother wrote, it was news to her so how on earth did Cindy find out about something like that that she didn't know about, she looked at Cindy as she smiled then she said to her "How is that my fault, and you talk about properties, none of that was yours to begin with, my mom is a billionaire heiress who married your dad, what did you think that she was going to give all her wealth to you and your dad, of course not she won't, so stop dreaming" she looked at Elijah as she said to Cindy "Is that why you took Elijah from me?".
Cindy smiled as she said to her "What do you think, he was never in love with you, he was sick and tired of your self-righteousness and uptightness so of course he would leave you and come to me". Rhoda looked at the both of them as she had tears in her eyes then she said to them as she wiped the tears of her face "I can't be here anymore, I just can't" as she turned to leave Cindy held the end of the carpet that was close to her and pulled it which made Rhoda fall flat on the floor.
She felt so embarrassed as she laid there on the floor, some people at the reception and some of the staff who were there looked at her which was very embarrassing for her, her friend Melia hurriedly came to her aid as she held her up and gave a stern look at Cindy and Elijah, as she was about to speak to them Rhoda held her hand as she said to her in a low tone "Let's just go please, I don't want to be here" she nodded as she held her hand and took her away from there.
Cindy and Elijah watched as she left the hotel as they acted like nothing happened held hands with a smile and went back up to their room, while they left a gentleman walked towards where they stood as he watched them leave then he turned to look at Rhoda as she left with Melia.
He turned to his secretary as he asked in a stern, manly Chris Hemsworth kind of voice as he said to him "I need everything on that young lady" his secretary nodded as he went to the elevator to go up to his suite.
When he got up shortly after, his secretary came up as he handed over an iPad to the gentleman as he said to him "This is all the information we have on the young lady sir, she is the daughter of the heiress of the Lockhart's family Mrs Sarah Lockhart now Mrs Alexander being that she got married again after her husband died in an accident that took her entire family. Her husband was with a little girl Cindy Alexander who happens to be her step sister and the lady at the reception earlier, and the young man at the reception is the boyfriend to Rhoda or should I say was looking at the current development and you know his family".
The young man sighed as he saw the photo of Elijah, the secretary looked at his boss as he said "Sorry to say sir but why do I feel like I know what you are thinking right now" the gentleman stood up as he walked toward the window in his room looking out in his black robe as he said "I am sure you do, I need to have a meeting with that lady tomorrow make sure of that" the secretary paused for a moment as his boss said "I know it will be hard but I trust you" the secretary nodded as he left the room.
The young man looked at Rhoda's photo as he dropped the iPad on his bed and went into th shower to freshen up.
