3RD POV:THE NEXT DAY:There was something worse that could be added to the list of issues that the Millers were already facing.“O My Goodness.” Lorena closed her eyes rubbing her stomach as she watched the early morning news.Footage had been released from an anonymous source, displaying how food prepared by the hotel's chef was served to the three men that died and immediately after ate that they slumped and died.“According to the investigators, when they searched the CCTV camera, this was not found. And this comes to question a lot of things about the Miller company, did they delete this file to protect their image? And why were these three guests targeted or were there more people who died from the poisonous food prepared by hotel chefs and the bodies are still being hidden?” The news reporter casted and every friend and relative of the Millers were all perplexed. “Don't stress out, they are going to get to the bottom of this.” Lorena's husband assured serving a cup of tea then
NATHANIEL'S POV:“She left already?” I heard voices coming from downstairs as I just finished freshening up after checking on the kids about twenty minutes ago. I was amazed to see that Lydia had already bathed them and even fed them. She was the best mum and I knew I needed to remind her every single day because she was truly a super mum and it was one of the many reasons I loved her so much. I'm not even going to begin to discuss how amazing she is as my woman.I left the twins with a smile on my face as I saw they were comfortable and just relaxing, kicking their feets. They were watching paw patrol which was surprising because Madison had always refused to watch it, calling it a ‘boys’ show. But It was nice to see her taking her time and actually enjoying it.I stepped out of my room in a casual fit as I had cleared my meetings till 10am, so I could be with the kids till I had to leave. I was genuinely worried about everything going on. I had wrapped my arms around Lydia throughou
NATHANIEL'S POV:My chair was faced out where I could see the entire busy city which served as a reflection to my mind which was running non-stop. My phone buzzed in my pocket and I instantly picked it up,My Queen👑❤️I'm okay, Nathaniel. I promise. I received the food you sent, thank you baby.I had also been checking up on her non-stop while waiting for a report from my private investigator. But as I looked outside, I decided to just do something rather than waiting.I dialed my mother's number, the one she had used to call me ever since she got released from prison. After just a ring, she answered instantly with excitement, “Hello, son. How are you doing?”She was currently in another country and she informed me where but I didn't care too much so it had slipped out of mind.“What are you doing?” I asked and she remained silent for a second.“What..What do you mean? I texted you last week that I joined a knitting and book club in a new city which I'm thinking of moving to. Is ther
I Swear, Let Me Love You Again Written by Okeke-Eze Ifeoma Isabella (Omaisabella) "How are you today Mrs Lydia?" Nurse Nia, who had been in charge of the blood transfusion since we began, asked with a smile as wore her gloves. "I'm okay." I replied tiredly and shook a bit as she inserted the needle after looking for an easy access vein. "You seem tired." She analyzed me but I just shrugged it off. I was tired physically, mentally, emotionally but everything was somehow going to get better. I really hoped so. As we were about to start talking, Doctor Fian and my husband entered the room. I grinned just looking at him in his blue suit and trousers. He was just so handsome and many would describe him as having the attributes of a Greek god. Every time I saw him, I realized why I loved him. "Lydia, how are you doing? Have you been taking all your vitamins and iron supplements?" Doctor Fian asked and I nodded in response feeling blood leave my body. "How are you Nathan?" I asked him
"Look, they are all minor cuts." I moved towards her, showing him the cuts. "Nothing too serious and you made me give my blood away for just this?"Nathan knitted his eyebrow staring at my proof and seemed genuinely taken aback while his mother remained surprisingly silent."What is she talking about Aubrey?" Nathan asked and I was a bit elated he was finally listening to me."I..I don't kn..know what's she talking about..The cuts might be minor but the pain is severe. I haven't even had time to check them with my eyes, the doctors simply said they were deep and since I didn't want to irritate myself by staring at them." Aubrey stammered out crying in between. His mother instantly comforted her while Nathan's look changed from surprise to annoyance. Annoyance probably channeled towards me for speaking the truth."Like why would you even say that? I'm literally here on the hospital bed fighting for my life and yet…" She trailed off speaking to me, more tears fell from her eyes."Don't
Lydia’s povI took a look at the mansion one last time. I felt extremely pathetic that someone like me would let myself be played with like this.I should have sensed that. All these years, he never bothered to know me more and even the maids got more chances to see him than me. How could I be so naive to believe that such a cold man would ever treat me differently?No, he is not that cold. It’s just his tenderness was never for me... I was just a nobody…"Well, well, looks like you're finally leaving?" A voice filled with mockery came from my back and when I looked back I saw Dia, she is one of the maids. She glanced from my suitcase to my face. Lomi, another maid, stood next to her."Awww…I wanna say we are going to be so hurt and miss you but that will be a very nasty lie. If you go, who will do all our house chores?" Dia added."Is everything okay Mrs Lydia? Mrs. King asked us to pack your things." Lomi asked with sincere worry in her tone. I bit my lip to prevent myself from bre
NATHAN'S POV:Sitting in the large room with eyes focused on the financial report while the CFO presented. I could hear him speak but I wasn't listening. I flipped through the document and ensured the finances were in place. My phone vibrated from my pocket rather than holding up till the end of the meeting to respond or check it like I usually do. I unlocked my phone in haste expecting a message from a particular someone who I haven't heard from for a few days now.I snorted in annoyance when I saw a message from one of my business partners. I dropped my phone on the table and snapped my eyes shut. Opening my eyes, I met everyone staring at me and the room dead dropped silent. Rolling my eyes at them, I wordlessly motioned for him to proceed."Are you alright sir?" 20 minutes later, the meeting came to an end. I nodded 'yes' in response to my assistant's questionAs we walked through the door, I took in the impressive view. The office was spacious and airy, with tall windows that o
NATHAN'S POV:I was completely exhausted and drained and was about to head home after a long day. I had visited Aubrey and surprisingly the doctors had said she was slowly getting better and that added some light to my day. My happiness died down when I remembered it was all because of her that I lost Lydia and I still haven't heard a word from her."Hello?" I picked up my phone with an attitude while sitting in the back of Range Rover as the driver started the car."Watch your tone." She spoke sternly and I pursed my lips not really in the mood to hear her go off. My mum had been calling and texting all day and I hadn't replied because she always seemed to have the wrong word to say to set me off."Your sister is back! So let's have dinner tonight and I don't want to hear no buts." She hung up afterwards and I sighed deeply.My little sister, Rachel, had been out of the country for a while spending time with her boyfriend who I had not met. Rachel was literally my mum's twin, she loo
