*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
Debbie arrived at Liam's house, wearing a sunglass and a gigantic smirk on her face. The breeze flipping her hair contributed to the proud atmosphere Debbie found herself in. She opened her car, then closed it by shutting it with her hills, took off the glasses a bit then cat walked majestically to Liam's front door, before leaving a soft knock. The door was immediately opened by Liam, and he welcomed her in with a big huge. "I don't need any genie to tell me how excited you are," Liam exclaimed, laughing. "Of course, and all thanks to you. You literally saved half and quarter problems of all my life!" Debbie replied. "I was actually doubting if our plan would work, but it turned out to be even more good than I expected. Thank you so much Liam, you have no idea how much this means to me." Debbie stated. "You are welcome my love. Told you I will do anything for you. But you need to make the outcome more chaotic because Jerome is capable of making coming out of this situation." Li
*The next day*Jerome got ready early to attend the meeting, with a mind made up, ready to receive the worst from the board members.Arriving there, he was welcomed by the glares from them, as he quietly took his seat."We are here for you, to solve the problem that you brought upon us, yet your ego cannot allow you to make it on time, seriously?" Mr Moses said, joining his hands together, angrily."I'm sorry, Uncle," Jerome replied."Let me guess, you were with your useless wife, taking care of her, huh?" Mr Moses asked.Jerome slammed his hands on the table getting everyone's attention.He took a deep breath, calming himself down."I will appreciate it if you don't Involve Stacy here. She is not to be blamed. I admit I'm five minutes late, do you have to make a scene out of it?" Jerome inquired, looking straight into Mr Moses' eyes."Five minutes is something, Jerome. You should try and take your responsibility seriously." Mr Moses said."Okay, enough with the words exchanges, that'
Standing on the balcony, Jerome flashed back the instant his Mom took her last breath.He recalled how his brothers and Dad always missed out on her birthdays and important occasions, but he was always there for her.The unfortunate incident that led to her death was when he drowned after getting involved in a boat accident on a vacation with his Mom, before she thought twice, she jumped into the river and saved Jerome, but unfortunately, it was too late for her to be saved and while she was at the hospital, she gave out the company to Jerome which resulted to the hatred between Jerome, his siblings, and his Dad.Stepping back to the seating room, Jerome took his car keys and left the Mansion, driving to his Lawyer's office.When he arrived at the office, his lawyer was already packing up, wearing his black suit."Oh! Mr Jerome! Hey, welcome, I didn't know you are coming." He said, keeping his coat.Jerome shook his hand."Yeah, sorry, I didn't call. I just urgently needed to speak wi
Jerome opened the door as Debbie pressed the doorbell.She arrived fifteen minutes after their call.When he opened the door, her face was a mix of happiness and shock."Oh my God! Jerome, what happened to you, you are not looking like yourself!" Debbie gasped with concern, bringing her hands close to his face but he moved back and opened the door wide for her, then returned inside and sat down.Debbie frowned and trilled behind him."What you did was mean, hope you know that." Debbie scoffed, balancing on the chair."I did what?" Jerome questioned, coldly."You almost shut the door on my face!" Debbie half yelled."Life itself is mean. Now tell me why you are here." Jerome giggled mischievously."I'm here to check on you, Jerome," Debbie said."Hahaha, oh, I see. You are here to check on how miserable I am so you can laugh at me, huh?" Jerome chuckled painfully.Debbie moved closer to him and deemed her eyes worriedly."Jerome, believe it or not, I do care about you. So much. And I k
While still cuddling, Stacy reminded something."Jerome." She called."Mmm, baby," Jerome answered."How did it happen? I mean, what caused the whole launching to fail." Stacy inquired, drawing circles on his chest sending chill shivers down his spine."The system has contracted a virus," Jerome said."A virus?" Stacy repeated, looking surprised."Yes," Jerome replied.Stacy opened her mouth a bit."But don't you think it was a planned incident rather than just a coincidence like I had been seeing on the News? I meant to say that, you told me someone tried cutting a wire a few weeks back. I think that person has a link to this virus event." Stacy stated and Jerome found sense in what she said."You are right. Now that you've said it, my investigator was able to detect that the car was hacked, and now I'm so convinced that the person who cut the wires the first time is the same person who hacked or hired someone to hack the car so the launching will be a failure. And it's someone from
*The next day*It was early in the morning, and Jerome woke up, having it in mind to visit Debbie at her office as she told him to yesterday.He went to the kitchen and made a quick breakfast, as he had returned Stacy to the hospital yesterday night since the doctor had already instructed her not to stay up late.He arranged the food in a basket, added some chocolates, and took them to the car.He entered the car and zoomed off.*Debbie came to the company looking pale, suffering from a huge migraine.Her eyes were puffy and red, and her face was pale and swollen.She dived into her mails immediately, trying hard not to recall Liam or his betrayal.She heard a soft knock on the door and her eyes were fixed on the door."Come in," Debbie replied, rubbing her forehead as it hurt.The door was opened gently and Jerome walked in.Debbie was surprised. Yes, she was expecting him to come but knowing how egocentric Jerome was, she thought he wouldn't."Oh, Jerome, um. Welcome, have a seat."
