Chapter 25 -Thomas ' POV : I was almost at the Crests estate when I decided to call Rabena , as expected I received a generic message . Clearly she had blocked me . I could feel my irritation starting to rise . Why had Danielle lied about that business deal ? If I had known it was Rabena I would have treated our marriage better . What was really troubling Thomas was HOW Rabena managed to pull it off . That proposal was immaculate , was she really that business savvy and talented ? How was it that nobody ever knew ? Suddenly , it dawned on Thomas that someone DID in fact know , his grandmother . " Thomas you fool , that girl you're sniffing around is nothing but a spoiled brat . She holds no value , all she does is cry . Rabena will be the one to elevate you ! Think about your future ! " The words of his grandmother rung heavy in his ears . For past few weeks he had managed to keep his divorce from Rabena a secret . His original plan was to reveal the news AFTER he secured the MGT deal . He would give the proper credit to Danielle and prove his grandmother wrong , turns out , she was right all along . A heavy feeling began to seep into his chest , if he didn't secure this deal , he would lose to Tyler . Thomas arrived at the estate and headed straight into the home , as he made his way to the grand room , he could see Danielle's mother Amber along with her brother Daniel sitting on a couch . Across from them in a recliner was Danielle , she was curled up with a blanket over her legs and scrolling through her phone . Amber was the first to notice Thomas . " Thomas ! What a pleasure to see you ! How'd the meeting go , well I trust ? " Thomas cut his eyes over to Amber and then glared at Danielle , the memories of that morning came flooding back along with the feelings of humiliation . Danielle suddenly leaped up from her seat and pranced over to him . He never noticed before how immature she was , had she always been this way ? His irritation began to grow . " Tommy ! How did everything go ! When will the project start ? Tell me everything ! " Thomas could hardly get any words in ; Danielle had her arms tight around his neck while asking a slew of questions . Then , she said something that made Thomas ' anger resurge . " I hope you praised me as well ! " That morning , Danielle had bragged to her family about how her business proposal landed Thomas an interview with the Chairman Michaels of MGT Corp. Naturally her family believed her without hesitation . " Well , of course you did ! You're my brilliant daughter , much more beautiful and smarter than that other thing . " Amber beamed with joy as her daughter twirled in a circle being praised for Rabena's work . Daniel chimed in next . " That's my amazing little sister ! I wish Rabend could be as poised and intelligent as you . 1/2 21:42 Fri , 29 Aug Chapter 25 15 % As everyone praised Danielle , Darius stood back in silence . Something was troubling him . He may not have cared much for Rabena , but he was aware of how intelligent she was and how often Danielle struggled . Darius was two years older than Rabena and Danielle . The youngest of the three brothers , he spent the most time with them in school and knew how much Rabena overshadowed her . When they applied to the University , Rabena was able to get in on a full scholarship while Danielle had to use her family's connections as Alma Maters . She'd decided to take up an easy subject by choosing a Bachelor of Arts degree in literature while Rabena studied international business and economics . It didn't make sense that she was the one that wrote this amazing business proposal enough to catch the attention of Aaron Michaels . It also didn't make any sense how she would be able to connect with him . Aaron Michales was most certainly known throughout the world , even in Banton , he was well known even without having any resorts here . That being said , he stayed mainly in the western and southern continents , when did she have the chance to meet him much less create an entire proposal . Something wasn't adding up .
