45****Maurice's POV****The pain at the sides of my stomach never ceased, it seemed to have increased this morning and despite the urge surging within me, I didn't heed to groaning. I feigned weak smiles as my mother stood very close to the door of the ward. I hated to see her cry. Writhing in pain and moaning in low tunes, I gave in to tightening my fist as two nurses clad in blue advanced towards me. “Your surgery will be taking place in an hour, mister!" The taller nurse said. “We will be conducting some laboratory tests, and physical examination to prep you for your surgery" she added, waiting to get my approval before she gets to business. “Sure!" I affirmed. A test was ran on my abdomen, followed by a general test and I was administered a pain relief, transfused directly through my veins. In few minutes, the pain lessened. The other nurse helped her in lifting me up carefully from my bed to the critical care stretcher. When we moved out, my mother's weeping increased. Jane
46****Natalie's POV****I clinged tightly to my Italian bag, sitting clumsily at the passenger's area of the taxi I had booked, while my boobs bounced in motion with the car as the driver galloped through the road leading to the hospital. I had booked the taxi because I didn't think I was fit enough to ride to the hospital. Yes! I was still greatly devastated about the news of Kevin being the robber who had deflowered me that night. Looking blankly at Maurice's cell phone I held in my hands, I reminisced on how deeply my father was affected. So much that I had to pacify him. “Who would have thought Mr. Fiddell's son was the culprit all this while?" He had asked sadly. My father went on with his job, and I believed that Kevin's case might mar the relationship between him and Mr. Fidell. Mrs. MayFair frequented visiting my room, and offered uncountable long embraces to me for going through a lot of ill happenings at the same time. For two days, I had remained in my room refusing to
47****Maurice's POV****The sound of approaching footsteps diverted my attention, I looked up at once and my eyes litted when I discovered it was Natalie. It appeared as though the earth had paused in it's movement. In my eyes, Natalie's footsteps changed from the usual pace to a slower one. Her hips swerving and her boobs bouncing as she walked. Her eyes widened when they met with mine, and she broke into a run, diving straight into my arms. “Ouch!" I screamed, but I still clung to her. “Don't hurt him!" Jane intervened, almost pulling Natalie out of my body. “Forgive my manners, Jane" Natalie replied, pulling herself out at once. “Ms. Louisa" She added too, giving a slight bow to my mom. “I'm just so happy to see you, Maurice! I am sorry, if I hurt you" she said with a pant. “Groceries, Jane!" My mother reminded that minute. “Let's go to the supermarket nearby to get groceries..." she remarked. That was a sign. Jane made to opine, but she stopped. I guess the great respect
48****Kevin's POV****A month and a week later, I was still in the custody of the SWAT team. I had been moved to a detention area, not too far from the previous office I was arrested. Three weeks ago, I was granted a bail hearing, a pre trial, after Elle's manipulative confession of sexual assault and domestic abuse. I didn't succeed as expected. The points my attorney gave weren't enough to swoon the judge. Elle gave solid evidences of her face pictures and some part of her body which looked reddened than the others. It infuriated the law body, and I was properly warned to desist from commiting more offenses like bribery, or else I would be made to face worse punishment.I had buried my head in shame and walked staggeringly behind the SWAT team who took me back to the detention area I was placed. As the patrol car moved, I watched my mother from the prisoner's compartment. Her father and my grandfather, Dr. Lewis Arnold, stood beside her. I watched her quake in tears while my gran
49****Natalie's POV****Maurice began to walk better two weeks after. He didn't light limp like he did the day he resumed work at the company. I frequented taking documents to him myself and fervently hoped for joint tasks with Maurice, as my father had always done in earlier days. He did appear more dashing each day, and my excitement grew. Soon, we both knew the staffs have found out that we had a thing, a perfect chemistry!. It was no longer a hidden affair. On a particular day, I spoke to Maurice in his office and wondered how deeply he must have loved me to have forgotten everything I did and my love affair with Kevin. The countless refusals and all the hurts I had made him go through. Walking out with him at the close of work, I smiled broadly as we conversed. We encountered my father when he was about leaving and my smile widened, when I noticed he also had a smile on his face. I was guessing the idea of making Louisa his wife has now been buried from his mind. Maurice held
50****Kevin's POV****Through out the night before, I never shut my eyes to sleep. I tossed about my small bed a countless number of times. That night, it dawned on me that I have been reduced to nothing and I wondered how life would turn out to be, if I could make it out of the prison's environs. I couldn't wait to be free, but I haven't even started my years of being bound to the halls of prison. Morning came too late than expected and when it eventually did, I had mixed feelings. The clanging sound of the locks to the protector doors increased my fears. I and Green's brother were to be trialed that day, since we were arrested the same day I guess.The weather looked very dull that morning, rhyming with my countenance. It seemed like the earth contributed it's own sympathy towards me. The gallant footsteps of the officer stopped my thoughts from wandering. He walked to where Green's brother laid and shoved his boots harshly on his legs. “It's 10.am, wake up sleepy head!" He thun

52****Maurice's POV****Since childhood, my ardent wish has always been to own a software company of my own. This guided me in learning about softwares online, since I was unable to fund the levies for my course in College. Then, my father had wandered to and fro the streets of Esturnburg seeking for customers to purchase his foot wears and hats. The profit made were more or less insufficient, it wasn't worth even half the fees and so I had to begin my work as a chauffeur. The money I gathered within the few months I worked enabled me enroll into a technical school with lesser fees. I was deeply immersed with it as it had always been my passion, and was widely known as the best student in Esturnburg Institute of Technology. Hence, my unrivaled knowledge for that in Mr. Mark's company presently. Within one of the days in the previous week, Mr. Mark had called me into his office. He requested that I embark on the production of a cyber security software solution. This was to be pitche
