Jerome arrived at the state station very quickly which left Angela surprised.It hadn't been up to fifteen minutes she informed him and he already had arrived.She was waiting for him at the parking lot of the station."Wow, brother in-law, you really drove fast." Angela chuckled but Jerome wasn't having any of the joke.Any time he remembers the embarrassment he felt on the day of the launching and how he was crushed in the presence of the world. How he became a laughing stock, how a life was lost, and how people are protesting against him, it only made him want to punch him in the face."Mr Jerome, I noticed you are angry, but you need to calm down, okay? Else you won't be allowed to go in there." Angela said, softly reading the anger on his face."You won't understand, Angela. I was in the darkest times of my life because of him!" Jerome half yelled, pointing at nowhere exactly."I know, I know Jerome. But we are handling the situation accordingly. Don't spoil it for us." Angela sa
Mr Moses was puffing his Italian cigarettes, enjoying the beautiful view of the garden surrounding his office.He couldn't believe how victorious he planned to make Ryan the CEO.Knowing how vulnerable Ryan is, it will be easier to manipulate him and take the position of the CEO from him.While in the dept of his imagination, the door to his office suddenly burst loudly, making him panic."Who the hell was that!" He shouted but a bunch of officers stormed inside the office, circling him and pointing a gun at him.Mr. Moses was lost, the cigarettes he was holding fell from his hand and he was surprised to see the number of police officers in his office, looking dead dangerous."What's... what's going on here? Who are you guys? Why are you in my office?" Mr Moses stammered, sweat trailing down his face."You are under arrest for hiring a hacker to hack Mr Jerome's autonomous car." One of the numerous officers stated.Mr Moses was confused, and a sense of fear ran through him."What, wha
After discussing with the Investigator, Angela and Jerome made their way back to the hospital.Angela suggested driving as she noticed Jerome's condition is not favorable enough to drive a wheel on the crowded road.Stacy was anxious at the hospital, waiting for Jerome so she could find out who plotted the whole thing.As she sat on the hospital bed, she captured every footstep in her head, waiting for the next one to be Jerome's or at least Angela's own.They finally arrived at the hospital and Stacy got off the bed immediately."Tell me, who was he?" Stacy asked, before even letting them sit."My uncle, Moses," Jerome answered.Stacy was shocked, she couldn't believe her ears. Despite not knowing Mr. Moses or having seen him before, but she never imagined a relative going to the extent of jeopardizing a company he has been part of for his selfish reasons.She then realized how tough it must have been on Jerome."I'm sorry, baby." She said."It's fine. You know what hurts? He was my
"What is this?" Jerome bellowed, throwing the pregnancy papers in Stacy's face. His dark hair was disheveled, his eyes wild with rage. "How could you be pregnant? You know you're not supposed to be!" Stacy sat frozen on the couch, the papers fluttering to the floor around her. "It's not my fault," she stammered, trying to defend herself. "You're the one who...who..." "Don't you dare try to pin this on me!" Jerome roared, his voice shaking the room. "I was drunk, you took advantage of me,” Jerome replied. "You think being drunk gives you an excuse?" Stacy retorted, standing up to face him. "You're a grown man, you should know better. And don't you dare try to blame me for what happened? I'm not the one who initiated anything. You're the one who couldn't control yourself." "Oh please," Jerome scoffed. "Don't act like some innocent victim. You know you wanted this, that is why you planned it. You wanted it just as much, if not more." Stacy recoiled as if struck. "That's not true.”
Stacy sat in the doctor's office next to Jerome, feeling numb. The events of the past week were still fresh in her mind, and she couldn't help but feel like a failure. She had tried everything she could to avoid this moment, to avoid having to make this decision, but it seemed like fate had other plans. It had been a week of hell, Jerome had been relentless in his pursuit of an abortion, refusing to listen to her protests and pleas. He had threatened to divorce her right away, to take away everything she had worked so hard for. The last straw that made her agree was when he threatened to remove his company partnership from her family’s company which will make her father’s company likely crumble because the investors they have been getting since Jerome partnered with them will all pull out. The thought of her family losing everything she because of her was unbearable and she had felt trapped like she had no other choice. Jerome had promised to keep the partnership after their divor
Stacy lay sprawled on the floor of her room, crying bitterly. The doctor's words echoed in her head like a persistent drumbeat: "You have to choose between having an abortion which will cost you your life or trying to give birth to your baby which will also cost you your life. Having an abortion makes you die quickly but giving birth to the baby gives you a chance to spend some more being alive. You have to choose between these two but in all, make a wise decision." The choice before her seemed impossible. How could she choose between her own life and that of her unborn child? And yet, deep down, she knew that she really didn't have a choice to make because either way she was going to die– by birthing her child or by carrying an abortion. She couldn't stop regretting allowing herself to get seduced by drunk Jerome if not she wouldn't have ended up in this situation. She regretted not sticking to their marriage rules which would have been her life Savior. Stacy yelled as the unendin
Dressed simply, Jerome reluctantly went to meet Debbie in the five-star hotel where they were to meet and finalize their upcoming marriage. At first, he had been unwilling to go, as he had been worried about Stacy. It took a lot of time and coaxing before she agreed to come out of her room the previous day and even eat under Jerome’s supervision, who suddenly turned caring to her. Even in her broken state, Stacy had shown surprise at seeing how Jerome cared for her which she noticed but because she thought he was only pitying her, she never gave it a lot of thought. As he entered the hotel, he saw Debbie sitting at the table she reserved for them. She looked elegant and composed, a stark contrast to how he felt inside. “Hello hubby, nice meeting you again,” Debbie said on seeing Jerome walking in her direction. As he got to the table she had reserved for them, he sat down. “Good day Ms Debbie,” Jerome tried to be formal and at the same time polite, and a little frown settled on
“Jerome, please, you have to reconsider ending the deal,” Debbie said, her voice desperate and pleading. “My parents are furious, and you know that it would be bad for your company if you don't change your mind." Jerome sighed, rubbing his temples. He had been trying to avoid Debbie's calls, but she had been relentless. And now, she was playing the guilt card, bringing up his company. He knew that he couldn't let it fall, but he also couldn't abandon Stacy and their unborn child. The doctor has already requested she start preparing to move to the hospital where she will be on life support until she gives birth. Things were already getting critical and it was taking a toll on Jerome. “Debbie, I'm sorry, but I can't change my mind,” Jerome said, his voice firm. “I know this is hard for you, but I have to do what's right for my family. Stacy is very sick, and I can't leave her alone.” “But Jerome, you don't understand,” Debbie said, sounding on the verge of tears. “If you don't go t
