Arriving at the lawyer's office, He welcomed Jerome with a handshake before he offered him a seat and they both sat down."Sorry, I have been postponing our meetings." Jerome apologized."It's okay, I know how busy you can get." The lawyer replied, closing a file."We are always busy," Jerome said and the both of them chuckled. "You know my wife Stacy is sick, so I have to be by her side, plus the new project I'm working on is also taking away all my time and strength," Jerome exclaimed."Oh, wow! The autonomous car you were talking about? Have you finally started working on it!" The lawyer said, stunned."Yeah, I realized it will bring us a lot of return on investment and profit so yeah, it's worth the stress," Jerome replied and massaged his brows."Congratulations, I'm sure everything Jerome makes, becomes a hit. You are so talented." The lawyer commended, with a wink.He noticed Jerome looked down."Is there something that you are not telling me, Jerome?" He asked."Well, you kno
"So, how are you feeling now?" Jerome asked, inserting his fingers at her. "I'm better, but I was bored when you left. Have you called my sister yet?" Stacy responded licking her dried lips. "No. Do I have to? I mean, I can take care of you by myself, unless I'm not doing it the right way." Jerome said, looking sad. Stacy beamed and placed her hands on his cheeks. "You are doing more than well. I'm just worried about the stress you are going through for me." Stacy mumbled. "And you think the right person to carry out your stress is your sister?" Jerome asked, feeling hurt. "I didn't mean to make you sad," Stacy answered. "I'm your husband Stacy. Even though our marriage was a deal and stuff I decided to be your husband until the time you give birth. So you are my responsibility and I will make sure I take care of you, well." Jerome exclaimed. Stacy was grateful and happy. The doctor interrupted their conversation and announced he had an injection to give to Stacy. "But have y
"And this time, I didn't cut my fingers." Jerome giggled, showing her his fingers."Oh gosh! You are so perfect." Stacy exclaimed."So you love it?" Jerome asked, pointing at the pizza with his eyes."Are you kidding me? I love it, this has to be the sweetest pizza I have ever tasted. Have a taste of it." Stacy answered and cut a slice. "Open your mouth," Stacy said, pouting.Jerome smiled and opened his mouth.Stacy brought the pizza slice closer to his mouth and when he opened it, she quickly put it in her mouth laughing."That's not fair!" Jerome groaned and started pulling the Pizza from Stacy while she also pulled it away from him."Leave it for me! Someone, help! Pizza thief!" Stacy screamed, dragging it."Fine, fine, I give up," Jerome said, breathing heavilyStacy looked at him and burst out laughing."Are you angry?" She asked."I prepared you a pizza and you refused to let me have a taste of it, so should I be happy?" Jerome frowned."Oh silly, I was just joking. Come on, h
He carefully undressed her, his fingers brushing against her skin, sending shivers down her spine. He gently removed her hair tie, letting her hair flow like silk down her back. As she lay back, he tenderly washed her hair, carefully massaging her scalp, and relaxing her tense muscles. He then began to gently wash her body, his touch soft and caring, making her feel safe and cherished as their eyes met.The warm water and his gentle touch worked together to melt away her tension, and she closed her eyes, letting out a soft sigh.The initial plan was to get married for three months, invest in her company, and get divorced.But then, everything began to change in her heart as she slowly began falling in love with Jerome.Even though they don't have the best relationship, everything about him seems to impress her.The way he speaks, his confidence when attending business meetings, his intellectual mind, his intelligence, his charisma, how he walks. Everything about him seemed so perfect
The doctor removed his coat and sat on his chair."Have a seat, please." He said and Jerome sat down."Judging from the new test results, I'm happy to inform you that Stacy is making notable progress and she is healing up fast from the accident." The doctor exclaimed and Jerome's face lit up with excitement."Wow! I know my Stacy, she is strong! Thank you so much doctor, thank you!" Jerome said, shaking the doctor's hand happily.He almost shed a tear."Yeah, she is indeed Strong, and I think you deserve credit too because she is healing up fast because she is happy, else it would have gotten worse. Now she only needs to take her medication seriously and she will be good to go home." The doctor stated."I will make sure she takes them accordingly," Jerome replied, but his excitement suddenly vanished."Is everything okay, Mr Jerome?" The doctor asked.Jerome placed his hands on the table."Doc, I don't want Stacy to die. Can't you do anything to save her? Like try? Maybe consult anoth
"Stacy! Stacy!" Jerome blinked a finger at Stacy, jotting her out of her thoughts.Tears streamed down her eyes and Jerome was worried."Why are you crying, sweetie?" He asked in a soft melodic voice as his soft hands reached out to her face and gently wiped her tears away."It's nothing," Stacy muttered, blinking her eyes so the tears could stop.Jerome fixed his gaze at her, as he used two of his hands to hold his face."Stacy, I don't know what suddenly changed between your parents, but they are still your parents no matter what. And I believe Kelly will reach out to you soon." Jerome said comforting her and she nodded, wiped the remaining tears from her eyes, and smiled."Bingo! That's what I love seeing. Your smile." Jerome winked at her, his eyes filled with happiness.A message popped on his phone, getting his attention."Ahmm, let me check this," Jerome said and swiped to unlock his phone and it was a message from the board."We urgently need you at the company." That was the
"And what's so funny?" Uncle Moses annoyingly asked, his brow furrowed and his arms crossed, his eyes squinting in disapproval."First of all, it was my idea to get married to Debbie and now it's my choice to call it off which I already did. Secondly, Uncle Moses, come on, I'm not a kid anymore. You can go ahead and demote me from the CEO's position, I would love to see you try, and I will gladly file a suit against you and make sure I sue you for every single penny. I promise you, I will make this company go bankrupt if you dare!" Jerome stated, stressing the words with so much seriousness and his words brought some level of calmness in the board room as everyone kept mute, scared of Jerome's threat because they knew he was right."So go ahead, why don't you just do it right now? Do it, come on, demote me, do it!" Jerome yelled but everyone looked away scratching their heads."Exactly what I thought!" Jerome said.Mr Moses stood up angrily and came closer to Jerome."This is not the
Kelly was reluctant, as she doesn't know how to face Stacy, but the warm smile she saw on Stacy's face gave her the confidence and ran into her arms.They hugged tightly and Kelly checked Stacy all over, with tears in her eyes."Sister, what happened to you? Are you okay?" She asked, her hands holding her chin."I'm fine Kelly, I'm fine." Stacy answered, and Kelly exhaled deeply and embraced Stacy again.Jerome stared at them with a relief mind that everything went out well."I was so worried about you. God forbid if something had happened to you, I would have never forgiven myself, ever." Kelly exclaimed.Stacy beamed and wiped Kelly's tears."You don't need to worry, I'm fine and in good hands." Stacy replied.Kelly shakes her head and gulped down a numb in her throat.She wiped her tears with happy face and that was how she noticed Jerome standing."I'm sorry, I didn't notice you. Hey. I believed you called me, right?" Kelly asked and Jerome came forward for a handshake."Yeah, nic
