Chapter 33
CHAPTER THIRTY THREE. It was Saturday evening and the house was packed full with important dignitaries and reporters and from the wine served, you can tell it was really a lavish party all in the name of spitting Amy.
Kathleen and Gwen came downstairs dressed gorgeously, Jennie didn't come with them because the public and netizens were still hot on her trail. The two women looked so ravishing and some men were ogling at Gwen, she was indeed beautiful. As they descended down the stairs, the reporters and photographers clicked their pictures.
"Can we have a short interview ma'am?" One of the reporters asked moving towards Gwen.
"I would love to but you see I have a lot of guests and I have to greet them so you have to wait until the party starts officially and then you can ask all of your questions" she replied smiling to the camera the reporter was holding. "Okay ma, you look beautiful by the way," the reporter said. "Thank you" she replied and walked away,
"Annoying reporters" she muttered under her breath as she walked away. Half an hour later, a well dressed man in a suit mounted the podium set at one side of the room, he Looked tall and handsome.
"Good evening everyone, I am Mr Davis and I would like to welcome you all to this party" he spoke Into the microphone and everyone clapped," so we will be starting now, ladies and gentlemen let us welcome a phenomenal woman, the woman who has exceeded everyone's thinking about business, she is the business guru, Gwen Wilson" the whole hall echoed with claps as she mounted the podium. Seeing the hall packed full with reporters and dignitaries of the business world, she felt fulfilled.
"Thank you all for coming on such short notice, we are really appreciative of the fact that Mr Sabastian Wilson is still respected in the business world". As the words left her mouth, her eyes searched the hall for Amy but there was no sign of her and she gave a smile. " Today's party is just to make an important announcement, I am sure everyone already knows but we want to make it official. We are happy to inform you that we will be merging Aluta holdings and Luca Into a single conglomerate and its official name will be Luca and I will be heading its affairs" the whole hall vibrated with claps from everywhere.
A little commotion started at the door and everyone turned to see what was happening. The whole hall was stunned for a moment, standing by the door was the almighty Damian martins, looking like a king in his handmade suit, there was someone at his back and he seemed to be shielding the person from the curious eyes of everyone. Everyone including Gwen and Kathleen was surprised, why was he here, they didn't send him any invites. Reporters were clicking his pictures and struggling to see who was at his back, then she stepped out from behind him in all her glory. Dressed in a limited edition red gown complimenting Damian's suit. Everyone was shocked, who was this girl that Damian had brought to the party. Reporters and everyone gathered would not stop clicking pictures of them. In less than five minutes that they entered the banquet hall, both their pictures were already circulating online. The whole city wanted to know who the woman with the dominating king of the business world was.
Teresa began to walk towards the podium with Damian acting like her bodyguard and this action did not go unnoticed by those around, she carried herself with so much charisma and the people were stunned, "Why is she here with him mum?" Gwen
asked as she rushed to where Kathleen was standing.
"Don't panic, let's see what she will do," Kathleen replied.
The couple both walked to the podium and she went towards the speaker. By now most of the news channels had begun to broadcast it live and the netizens were already watching it online. The whole city was watching these two people waiting for what they would do.
"Hello everyone, I am Teresa Martins" the hall went up in a frenzy, this was Teresa Martins that has made her mark the moment she came to New York City and she has finally shown her face to everyone.
"Oh my God she is really pretty"
"She looks like someone I have seen before".
"Finally she has shown us her face".
Seems like she is the lady the big boss posted a few days ago". "The martins couple"
These were some of the comments of the netizens online, everyone was anticipating what was going to happen next. Kathleen and Gwen were the most disturbed.
"I was sent an invitation by Kathleen here and decided to make a special appearance, moreover it's not everyday you get to meet Teresa Martins right?" She asked in a mocking voice, turning to both mother and daughter who were standing a few meters from her, they couldn't even move forward because just by her side, her husband stood all mighty as always. The reporters were eager to ask questions but because of the cold gaze of the big boss on all of them, they decided to wait if she gave them the opportunity. "I heard Aluta holdings and Luca have been merged, this is really good news and has made my work more easier".

"What did she mean by making her work easier?" The question was on everybody's lips as they gave each other a confused look. "Well hubby, shouldn't you do the honors of telling the public what I meant?". This was when everyone went crazy, did she just call the big boss her husband, everyone was thrown into a state of excitement and confusion, so Teresa Martins and Damian martins were both married and have been keeping it away from the public since. "Oh my God, this is the best news so far".
"My crush is married?". "Oh my Gosh, they both look like two power houses.
Just because of the statement she made, they were both at the top of search rankings.
"Mother, we have to do something or she will ruin everything for sure" Gwen retorted, she hated the fact that Amy always commanded attention wherever she went.
"Relax Gwen, Jennie is on it" Kathleen replied, still having a fake smile on her face.
Like the king he was, Damian mounted the podium and his wife stood beside him, they both looked good together, even the reporters couldn't stop taking pictures of them. "Well I will just go straight to the point, since Aluta holdings and Luca have decided to merge, isn't it right for the owner to be here as well to grace the occasion?" His questions threw everyone including the mother and daughter duo off balance. "Owner?, What do you mean by that sir?" a reporter gathered the courage and asked. "Well, Mrs Martins here happens to own fifty percent share of Luca and now that the company has been merged, does that not make her the overall head of the company?". Kathleen felt her world crash as those words came out of Damian's mouth, how did they do it?. The two of them must have known their plans and waited for them to make a mockery of themselves in public. "That is a lie" a voice resounded in the hall and it was Gwen, she couldn't take the humiliation anymore and walked up to Amy.
"What games are you playing now Amy?" She yelled Angrily and it spiked the people's interest. "Amy?" Everyone asked because the lady just introduced herself as Teresa Martins so why was Gwen calling her Amy. "What do you mean Miss Wilson? You and I both know that fifty percent of Luca shares were bought right so why are you claiming ignorance?" Teresa asked Mockingly, she was enjoying the look on both mother and daughter's faces.
"You are lying and I will not allow you to take what I have labored for all these years" Gwen snapped. "You mean what you killed for?". Everyone was surprised at the outburst between these two persons, the reporters didn't leave any detail out as they broadcasted everything live and even the netizens were all wondering what these two women were saying. Damian just stood there watching, he had no intention of stepping in unless any of them tried to hurt his wife.

Look Miss Wilson, we are here to announce the merging of the two companies right?I think we should stick to that and not wash your dirty linen in public. You of all people should know how dirty it is".
"What nonsense is this?" Kathleen asked as she walked towards the two of them." Amy stop this madness right now" she muttered under her breath but loud enough for Amy to hear. "No matter how hard you try, you both can't deny the fact that I own the company now and there is nothing you can do about it. You are free to leave if you want to but you can't change that fact".
"Can you please tell us what is going on here?" Another reporter asked. "I will tell you" Teresa said and went towards the podium," it seems Miss Wilson here wants
to breach her contract, she is fully aware of the fact that I own half of the shares of the company but she is trying to prove stubborn, I think it's because of an old rivalry right?" She asked, looking at Gwen. "You think you have won Amy, I will make sure you regret humiliating me like this I swear Gwen hissed angrily. "You seem to be forgetting that you are speaking to my wife in such a tone" Damian's voice echoed throughout the entire hall and everyone froze. He has been silent for a while now and everyone thought he was not interested in what was happening. The arrogance in Gwen's voice was reduced a little but she didn't want to lose face in front of the public.
"I suggest you know the right tone to use Miss Wilson or I will be forced to take actions against you" he said calmly but everyone could see he was trying to suppress his anger. "So ma'am, do you mean Miss Wilson went behind your back to announce she would be the head of Luca?".
"You can ask her that question, I believe she is itching to say something. Since my work here is done and I have introduced myself, I have more important things to do than stay here" she replied and began to walk away with Damian, everyone was left speechless by the two power houses. They could feel their faces swollen from Teresa's face slap "This is not over Amy, I swear I will make you pay" Gwen yelled after her even when Kathleen was trying to control her. Her actions did not go unnoticed by everyone and that moment was captured on camera. "Can you tell us why you keep calling Mrs Martins Amy?" Another reporter asked the angry Gwen.
"That lady is the crazy one, not me," she replied,
"It seems you have a grudge against her".
"Do you think the big boss will let you go after you Insulted his wife in public?". "Tell us ma, how do you know Teresa Martins and why is there so much hatred between the two of you".Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
The reporters kept bombarding her with questions and it irritated her the more.
"Party is over, you may all leave," Kathleen said. "Answer us ma" the reporters really wanted to know what had happened between the two women, at least they wanted a good scope of news." Security, get these dimwits out of my house right now" she yelled and they got into action.
"I will not spare you Amy" she muttered under her breath.
