"I am fine Jake, I wasn't being followed," I said. "Alright then, that was crazy what you did," He said. I then turned to see his Dad Henry in the sitting room. "Hello Herny," I said moving towards him and hugging him. I could see that he was also concerned about my well-being. "I am sorry about everything that you are going through," Henry said. "No don't be, Henry," I said and sat opposite the lounge he was sitting on. Jake had already gone inside to get something for me. "Please have this wine, before the food gets done," He said. I understood why the food wasn't done early at that time which was because Jake had just gotten there not that long. "No problem," I said and sipped the wine in the glass cup that he gave to me. "Hello," Howdy said when he came out of his room. "Ooh hello," I said. "How are you doing, come here, what's your name," I said. I knew that I had a soft spot for kids and was very happy seeing one in Jake's house. "My name is Ho
I was still in Jake's arms. I wished that every day could be like this and we could be together despite the current circumstances, but I knew it was just luck we had. I knew that I was taking a deep risk by making such moves. "Jake, I don't want either you or Henry to get hurt at all," I said facing Jake. "Don't worry, nothing bad will happen to us, all I just need you to do is to get that bastard out of the equation, and the. We can live in peace once and for all," Jake said. "Yes, probably, we will do so," I said. "But still, I am scared, am scared," I said. "I know and understand how you feel, but we are in this together, you and I so never forget that," Jake said as he kept on wrapping his arms around me. "Alright dear, I understand," I said. I kept pondering how I will be able to uncover everything I planned to do. I knew that I would need to do so. "So the others would be back soon, I need to get going soon, I would need to see James before I finally get ho
"Boss, I don't see anyone else to work with, if it's not you," He said. "Really? I mean we all know now that Lincoln is a very wicked soul and he doesn't care about me or anyone else I love," I said. "Ooh yes, about that, that's the main reason I still want to work for you, so that I would be able to protect you," James said. "You will need all the help you can boss, with this new war you are about to fight," James said. "Alright then, I understand," I said. "Yes, boss, that's just what's going to happen," James said. "Would be going now, got you this, don't worry I will have more when you finally finish and you are discharged from the hospital," I said bringing out what I got for him and giving everything to him.. "I am deeply touched by all these gifts," He said as he accepted them with a smile. "Would be going now, I can't wait for the day you would be discharged and by then I would be there to celebrate your recover," I said before heading out. "Noted boss,"
I couldn't believe what my mom said about Lincoln because I was busy handling the situation not knowing that there was another one related to Lincoln. "Yes, that's what happened, dear, I was shocked too when I heard it, and I think you need to approach him on the matter, as for me, I would be going now for the time being, I don't think am. easy to set my eyes on him at all," My mom said and picked up her bag. "Come on, mom you just got here, you can at least stay with me a while," I begged and held her hands. "I know dear, but I have seen you in already, besides am trying to avoid setting my eyes on Lincoln because am not sure what I would do if it happens," My mom said. "Come on, mom he is not back from work yet," I said and made her seat back. I couldn't believe this is happening. "So mom what would you like to eat," I said curiously. "Well, I am not in the mood to eat anything at all, like I said I don't wish to eat anything at all in Lincoln house," My Mom s
"Dear, I knew, but I still wonder why you taking his sides, after what happened, you should be on my side because of this," My mom said. "Yes, mom I uns what you mean, but still," I just said even though I knew that my mom wouldn't do what I told her to.2 I knew how she behaves when she is really angry and determined and can't go back on her word or action. "Dear, I mean it, there is nothing that can be done since it's money he loves more than his own family that would make him sell out his family," my mom said and hugged me then entered the car that her driver opened for her. Has she driven she waved at me and I waved back? I return to the lounge room to meet Lincoln. "So I see that you want to injure my mom, right?" I blurted out in anger. "Well, I am innocent, she was the one who lashed out at me when she saw me, it's not my fault at all," Lincoln said. "Why just you show yourself in the first place? After all y, you saw her reaction when you came in," I sa
"Am sorry mistress," she said and resolved to leave. When I was alone in my room the next I thought about going to the court case. I knew that I was going to go there since it was going to be tomorrow. I knew that I had to go and inform Jake about the current situation in the office since we both had planned to do so. I rushed out and entered my SUV to drive myself to my company. Jake had woken up and was getting dressed up when Henry came into the sitting room. "Good morning Dad," Jake said noticing the strange look on Henry's face. "Good morning son," Henry said. Jake noticed that this strange look was getting strange by the moment and he had to be careful about what exactly it was. "What's the matter, Dad," Jake enquired curiously, still noticing the look on his Dad. "Son, you wouldn't believe what's on the newspaper today, you wouldn't believe what I came across, the kind of news, I came across today," Henry said and opened the newspaper showing Jake the he
"Oh goodness," I muttered in anger. I couldn't believe it. "Surprise!" Lincoln yelled. "I know you must be wondering how I got to enter the elevator since you guys made it so that Jo one would ever board the elevator again, but news flash, I am also the boss of this company so I own it," Lincoln said. "Go to hell," Jake said and one of Lincoln's men hit him with a stick on his hands. "Argh," Jake groaned and fell to the ground because he was hit in the stomach. "Jake!" I blurted out of fear for what might happen. "I am alright," Jake said as he rose. "Alright then, Now let's go to the next business, I know that you would be wondering how I got to know about it your secret affair but the t Ed truth is I already knew this earlier," he said and showered then the video of them making our before Jake used his legs to spoil the camera. "Damn it, thank goodness, I put the camera at the elevator, I couldn't trust you enough, I knew you will be smart enough to do that here,
"What are you going to do to me, because am staying under your roof," I blurted out upm hearing what Lincoln said. "Well, you just watch and see," Lincoln said smiling. "If you dare lay a single hand on her consider the deal null and void," Jake said. "Of course not, why would I want to lay a single hand on her, she is my wife afterall," Lincoln said smiling. "So that's what the deal is going to entail, I call it the new deal," Lincoln said laughing hard. He knew that he was enjoying his own jokes. "So you gues are free to go at the time being, but don't let me remind you about our deal," he said and exited with his men.. I could see Jake's expression and how he felt that Lincoln was a real lunatic to him. I knew that to him, he hadn't experienced such kind of thing before. "I guess we would have to do whatever he say," I said and then Left the elevator. "Veronica, wait," Jake said running after me, but I didn't answer him, I was frustrated about the who
