"Wait…let me process this. You mean you both…like the two of you…" Stacy said, pointing with her fingers, trying to find the right words while Kelly looked freaked out, tears coming out from her eyes."You both are lesbians?" Stacy asked."Please don't blame Kelly, it's all my fault." Angela answered.Stacy could only look at Kelly and who buried her face in her hands."Okay, so you don't like boys, I mean, you like girls? How?" Stacy asked again."Stacy, I know you will probably hate me, or find me disgusting and…""Hey, it's okay. I'm not at all angry with you, I mean it's natural, and it's okay if you are different. I'm sorry for how I reacted, I was just shocked. For how long?" Stacy exclaimed exhaling deeply."I learned about my differences when I was young when I found out about my attraction to girls instead of boys and I told Mom about it, I thought she was someone I could confide in, but then she had been using it to threatened me, either to accept the CEO position or she wil
Debbie and Liam walked out of the Café looking tensed."Are you sure he will not disappoint us?" Debbie asked."I'm so worried because he doesn't have that confidence look when we were talking to him." She added."You have nothing to worry about. I trust him, our offer is too good to reject, besides, there is only a slim chance of him getting exposed, which means that while he is free, he will enjoy every bit of the money we are going to give to him as a reward." Liam explained."Yeah, you are right." Debbie replied."Babe, trust me on this. This time, it will definitely work out, and Jerome's company will be thrown to the bin and your Dad will be proud of you." Liam smiled and pulled her cheeks."Thank you." Debbie replied, then hugged him."So, where are we going now?" She inquired."I think I will call you an Uber, or you drive my car while I use the Uber." Liam answered."But why? Are we not supposed to go together?" Debbie asked."Yeah, we were, but I remembered I had something u
Liam chuckled nervously as he pulled his hands away from the handshake."I better be going. Stacy, take care of yourself." Liam said and quickly left and Stacy was left wondering why he left in such haste."So, how is my beautiful queen doing," Jerome asked, sitting next to her."I'm good but hungry," Stacy answered."That's why I'm back on time to take you out to a fancy restaurant for lunch. Are you set?" Jerome asked."Always ready." Stacy beamed and he took her hands in his while they made their way out of the hospital to the car."Wow, new car, again?" Stacy asked, raising her eyebrows."I'm not Mr Jerome Adams for nothing," Jerome said, making her laugh."Yeah, Mr. Jerome Adams," Stacy said as he opened the car door for her, and she entered.*After driving for a few miles, Jerome alighted in front of a Restaurant that Stacy immediately recognized. It's one of the best Spanish Restaurants in town.They walked inside the Restaurant with Jerome taking the lead.He pulled a chair f
Jerome arrived at the launch venue in style. He stepped out of a fancy car as John opened his door, then smiled as cameras flashed around him. He looked confident and happy, wearing a sharp suit and shiny shoes.Reporters and photographers surrounded him, taking pictures and asking questions. Jerome waved and smiled, feeling so excited. He walked into the hall, shaking hands with important investors and businessmen. They greeted him with respect, impressed by his innovation.He sighted a very reputable old man and headed straight to him."I can't believe you made it!" Jerome exclaimed, hugging him."Nah, I won't miss this for nothing. Your Mom has always waited for a day like this and I'm sure she will be so proud of you wherever she is now." The old man said and Jerome felt emotional, wishing this was coming from his Dad or his brothers."Thank you so much," Jerome replied."You welcome. Now chop chop, go and make the world proud." The Man said to him with a salute."Mr Jerome!" His
"5, 4, 3, 2, 1! Go!" Everyone counted loudly and Jerome took a deep breath before pressing on the start button and the car brought out a bright light.Everyone screamed and clapped jumping as the car started.Jerome was filled with pride seeing how excited the world is for his project.He tapped the drive button and the car started driving slowly, all the cameras were recording and even people present there used their phones to record.Everything was working smoothly, the car was making progress and they were impressed until the car started making a weird sound, then the lights started shaking."What's going on?" Everyone asked as they watched and Jerome was as confused as they were."Please calm down all," Jerome said with a shaky voice his heart beating faster and started pressing on the buttons but they were not working at all.The car started running at speed showing "virus" on the screen and Jerome was freaked out, trying everything to stop the car from running as well as the cro
Stacy watched the livestream and how Jerome was embarrassed in front of the whole world by his autonomous car.The look she saw on his face made her know that he needed only her right now.She couldn't help but feel bad for him and cried seeing him in a tiring situation.Kelly was with her trying to console her when Stacy suddenly sprang off the bed."Is everything okay, Stacy?" Kelly asked.Stacy dragged the IV from her veins forcefully making her bleed."What are you doing, Stacy, you are hurting yourself!" Kelly yelled, trying to stop her.Stacy looked around and placed her feet on the ground."My husband needs me, he needs me!" Stacy muttered, breathing heavily, and started searching for a way out."You cannot leave in your condition Stacy, you are bleeding!" Kelly shouted but Stacy pushed her away."Can't you see the look on my Jerome's face? He was sad, he...he...he needs me." Stacy cried."Doctor! Doctor!" Kelly shouted and the doctor quickly rushed in."What's going..." He pau
*The hospital* "Puff, he is still not answering." Kelly said, walking up and down in the doctor's office as she tried calling Jerome. "It's fair if he is not picking his calls. Judging from what happened at the launching, but it really won't be advisable for Stacy to open her eyes, and he is not there with her. It might worsen her situation." The doctor exclaimed. Kelly looked worried and sat down. "What should, will do, doctor?" Kelly asked. "Maybe you continue calling and see if he answers." The doctor answered. "Um, doctor. Can I request for something?" Kelly asked. "Sure, anything, what's that?" The doctor answered, and Kelly scratched her hair, feeling reluctant to say it. "Um, so I was thinking, maybe you don't have to tell Mr Jerome that it was because of him that Stacy's condition worsen. It will only make things more difficult for him, as he is already going through enough." Kelly requested. "You had a point but what should we tell him then?" The doctor asked
"Look at me." Jerome said, disengaging from the hug, cupping her face in his hands. Stacy stared into his eyes. "I won't leave you, okay?" He said and gently placed a kiss on her forehead, then cuddled her to himself. "I'm sorry for what happened." Stacy replied. "Hahaha, what are you saying? Nothing happened." Jerome laughed. "Don't pretend, Jerome. I saw everything, I watched the live stream, remember." Stacy exclaimed. Jerome's face was pale. "I'm sorry, I didn't want to get you worried." Jerome replied. "Well, I should be worried. Jerome, you are my husband, your problem is my problem. Your pain is my pain, as well as your gains are mine. We are into this together okay? I will never leave your side. I will stand by you until the very end." Stacy exclaimed. "You know what, Stacy. I thought my life has ended the moment the car ran into my staff Xavier, but coming to you now, I realized that I still have another reason to live and to be happy. I might have never said
