Chapter 111...Lucas...Spending a few hours with Sally was refreshing, I couldn't help noticing every little detail about her, how she smiled, how she lovingly talked about her sister and even gave me a figment of her past. Each moment I spent with her made me a little scared because I realized one thing.Sally wasn' Grace whom I had an affair with just to get back at her mother for the abuse she started when I was young. She wasn't Diana whom I slept with to keep my place as the legitimate son of the Crown family. She wasn't Melissa whom I seduced and slept with just to prove to myself I could have anything or anyone that belonged to Robert. Sally was Sally, just Sally. A beautiful young naive woman and I liked her. Like really liked her."We should get going" I was driven out of my thoughts by her voice as she stood up carrying her shoes in her hands,"Come on, stand up" she brought forth her hand which I pulled making her land on top of me,"That took a turn!" She laughed as she r
Chapter 112...Sally...Robert was seating next to me holding my hand tightly, though he appeared to be calm and composed, his hands were shaking indicating how nervous he was. Every now and then, I squeezed his hand lightly with a smile trying to tell him everything was going to be okay but even with that insurance, I knew he couldn't be calm.Over the months, I had now realized that the only person that Robert really loved and was close to except Grace was grandpa. Grace had just recently died, I couldn't bare the thought of what would happen if something happened to the old man as well.Doctor Crown and some other doctors finally got out of the ICU with a few nurses carrying Grandpa on a hospital bed,Robert immediately rushed to meet his mother,"How is he?, how is the condition, is he going to be okay?" He asked, Doctor Crown had refused him from entering the ICU room with the other doctor and looking at how restless he had been, I knew she had done the right thing"He is still i
Chapter 113...Melissa...I packed Sally's food separately from Robert's, I was in a desperate situation, I needed to cause her an abortion Asap, Diana wasn't making things easier for me as she reminded me I needed to do it or face the consequences,It was this chance or not so with a deep sign, I hoped everything would go as planned."Sally, let's go!" I yelled from the kitchen after grabbing the food"I will be down in a minute" after a while of waiting in the car, Sally finally came back and I drove off.At the hospital, Robert still looked disturbed his eyes fixed on his grandpa while his mom was opposite him with concern visible on her face,I wished the old man would just die so we would go home already, honestly, I didn't even understand why they all appeared to be worried and want him alive, surely he would be much useful if he was dead, besides, he was already old."I brought you some food" I said to Robert, he shook his head without looking at me,"Am not hungry" he spoke"O
Chapter 114...Sally...Robert and I rushed into the hospital where we found Grandpa had woken up, we were both relieved as we rushed to his bed side,"Grandpa" Robert spoke,"Why all the long faces, you didn't actually think I was going to die right?" The old man questioned making us laugh"Of course not, you are a fighter, nothing can bring you down" Robert commented."Sally, come here Dear" he called gesturing me with his hand,"Did it take me to be hospitalized for you to visit?" He asked making a sad face," Am sorry Grandpa, I was just so caught up with school and everything. Am glad to see you are okay" I said with a smile."Of course" just then, I noticed Melissa had not come with us, she had remained with Lucas which meant the drug she had put in my food had probably started working on her, I quickly turned to Robert,"I will be back in a bit, let me just check on Melissa" I said and left the room without giving him a chance to respond. Once outside, I scanned the whole cafe
Chapter 115...Sally..."Sally, are you sure?, I mean, you know Robert and I don't see eye to eye exactly, especially now" Lucas said but this wasn't about their relationship or luck of, it didn't even involve their hatred for each other, Robert needed to know what Melissa was capable of."If you tell him only then will he know am not crazy Lucas, all you need to do is tell him the truth" I said practically pleading,"Fine" Lucas finally said making me sign in relief,"Good" I opened the door to the car and got out,"Go, I will see you inside" he said and remained in the car. I went back into the hospital and joined Robert, Grandpa was taking a nap yet again but his condition was a lot better now which was a relief."Wanna take a walk?, you have been here for long, get some fresh air and relax a bit?" I suggested to Robert, Mrs Crown who was watching us rolled her eyes when I spoke but I decided to ignore her "Yes sure, let's go" Robert and I left the ward soon, we took a walk outsid
Chapter 116...Robert..."Good Robert, thats just good you have decided to do that cause you know what?, I would rather die than ever be with someone as stupid as you!" Sally yelled and walked away, I turned to Melissa who threw her arms around me, I hugged her back, Sally's words still playing at the back of mind, I would be lying if I said the whole argument didnt hurt me. It was hard to figure out why she Hated Melissa. Perhaps this happened for the better, I had been unfair to her"She has no right to disrespect you like this Robert, I have been telling you, you should have let me put her in her place" I understood Melissa's anger, hell I was angry myself but so was Sally,"Just let her be, let's go" I said with a deep sign,"Am a bit tired and was hoping I could go home, will that be okay with you?" Melissa asked, I slowly nodded,"Yeah, sure, I will go and talk to my lawyer before heading home" I replied kissing her forehead. After she left, I took a sit my mind filled with diff
Chapter 117...Robert...I reached for my phone and dialed Sally's number"Why do you even worry about her, its not like she is a child, she will get home whenever she wants to" Melissa commented,"She is pregnant Melissa, with my child, that is a valid enough reason to worry about her", I let out a curse when Sally's phone didn't go through,"She isn't answering?" Melissa asked"Her line is off" I said getting out of bed,"She is probably with her friend or something", at the mention of that, I dialed Jane's number, perhaps she had gone to her place after leaving the hospital"Hello Jane" "Hey Robert, what's up, is Sally okay?" Jane asked"Am actually calling about that, isn't she with you?" I asked"No, I haven't even talked to her today, is everything okay?" I ran my hands through my hair in frustration,"Yah, we just had a little argument, do you have any idea where she could go?, she was really upset", I was already feeling anxious upon learning she wasn't with Jane, where the
Chapter 118A SLY MASTERMIND...Sally...I woke up to the sound of a loud bang, when I opened my eyes, I found myself in a pitch dark room my hands tied tightly behind my back,"Hello" I yelled trying to sit up, however it was very difficult to do so with the position I was tied up,"Help!" I yelled as loudly as I could. I began to wonder how I got here and the thoughts came rushing in,After my argument with Robert, I was so upset that I had decided to go home and park all my things, I was ready to move out and go back to my old apartment. Just outside the hospital, there was a taxi and I got in giving the driver the address to Robert's place, I remember a hand covering my nose from the back sit, before I could see who it was, I had blacked out and woke up in this room.I tried to think of whom might be behind this, was it Melissa?, if it was then she was so quick to act cause I had literally left her with Robert, was it someone else?, I didn't know what to think.Suddenly, I heard
Chapter 155LAST CHAPTER…Sally…Robert immediately rushed to his brother,“I never wanted to see you end up like this Lucas” he said holding his hand, Lucas let out a weak laugh,“You didnt think I was going to repent did you?” He paused painfully with a heavy breath,“In this lifetime, you win little brother, you get to live, to marry the love of my life Sally and to see me get buried but I can promise you in the next lifetime, I will win” I kneeled in front of Lucas as tears filled my eyes“Lucas” I whispered“Don't cry Sally, your makeup will be ruined” he held my hand in his and looked into my eyes“I love you” he said and slowly let go of my hand dying in front of my eyes, I wanted to scream for him to wake up but couldn't. I hated Lucas, wished the worst for him because of everything he had done but I didnt want him gone like this,Maybe in prison yes but not really die and disappear from the face of the earth, at one point, I did like him very much and considered him my friend
Chapter 154…Sally…“Drive!” Lucas repeated yet again, my hands where shaking as I held the staring wheel“Lucas, please don't do this, at least not today, am pregnant, am happy, I don't want you to hurt me” I cried. To think neither Robert and I had expected Lucas's comeback to be this way only showed how much we underestimated him and his obsession for me,“You can't be happy, at least not without me, Am the only one who can make you happy Sally. You always complained about how much you hated Robert’s character, so I did you a favor, here is Robert's face that you are so much in love with and my character which i know you like” I shook my head as tears made their way on my face“I love Robert” I whispered but Lucas heard me and his facial expression changed“Don't make me angry Sally, you have no idea what I went through for you, the least you can do is be happy and thankful, now drive” he said,I started the car wondering how I could inform Robert or the police of the current situa
Chapter 153…Sally…A lot had happened over the last month, after I was rescued, Diana was released out of prison because of the confession from Lucas, David stayed in prison because he had been working with Lucas and Ben and Steve were given less sentences. Ben's daughter was found dead while his wife had starved to death. He was devastated when he heard this news and I tried my best to comfort him.Diana had changed, she took care of grandpa even better and made time to have family Dinners with me and Robert. You could say their broken relationship had finally been mended.“Sally, why are you still laying in bed?!” Rita yelled as soon as she entered my room“I miss Robert” I said in a sleepy voice even though I was wide wake,“You haven't seen him only for today, if you miss him so much then why don't you hurry up and start preparing for your wedding?, or did you forget you are getting married today?” Jane was the one to ask this time,“No i did not forget, that is partly the reason
Chapter 152…Robert…“Unless what?” I asked Lucas,“Unless you help me escape, I will need a private jet with no police around, I will need all money from my accounts withdrawn and given to me in cash, when am sure I will not be caught and brought back here, only then will I let you know where Sally is otherwise you will never see her alive Robert” he was insane to place all these conditions“You think you can just run away from this?, you made your own bed, lay in it!” I said standing up“I forgot to tell you one thing” he said before I could walk away“And what is that?” I asked“I left a poisonous gas in the room am keeping Sally in, if I don't return after one hour, the gas will slowly lick and she will die slowly” he said with a smile“You are lying!” I yelled but Lucas burst out laughing“Well then, why don't we wait and see what happens” he challenged, I left the room and immediately I did, I received a phone call, it was from the head maid at the Crown mansion, I then answered
Chapter 51…Sally…Lucas left for what felt like forever, I was uncomfortable with the way I was sitting which made my body hurt all over,I knew this plan was risky but I didn't imagine it to go south immediately,The dress I was wearing didnt do much to help me either as it felt tight and surpressing my tummy,I was going to die if I didnt drink any water with the way my throat was dry. The door finally opened, I wish it was some sort of miracle and Robert would be the one to walk in with The police but unfortunately for me,It was Lucas with a bottle of water,“Am sorry I had taken long” he said locking the door, he opened the bottle of water for me and brought it to my lips,“Drink” surely he wouldn't put any drugs in the water and even though he did, I didn't carry about It as i was too thirsty, I took the water until the bottle was halfway, then I began to feel hungry,“Did you come with any food?” I asked,“I just found out am the most wanted person dead or alive with a huge su
Chapter 150…Robert…The police and I watched the entire confession from Sally’s necklace, when she suggested this plan, of course I thought it was crazy but I let her go through with it and now that insane Lucas had her somewhere tied up and I was here helplessly waiting for the police to locate her. They were taking more time and each second that went on made me feel even more restless,“We have the entire confession of his doing, we need to find my wife” I urged the police on“Our men are doing everything they possibly can Mr Crown” no matter what they said, my heart wouldn't be content until they found her.Lucas stood up from floor playing with the knife, I couldn't see Sally's face but I knew damn well she was scared out of her mind“What are you doing Lucas?” She asked as he took steady steps towards her, I inwardly gave a silent prayer for her well being,“Do you want to live Sally?, do you what to get out of here alive?” Lucas asked, with the way he was acting crazy, I doubte
Chapter 149…Sally…“I don't know anything, just let me go Lucas. Is this a prank, cause if it is, then I dont like it anymore!” I said laughing awkwardly“Sally can I ask you a question?” I nodded“Sure”“Do you know what I hate the most?, people who lie to me, especially those I consider to love?” He said“am not lyinh” I whispered“I get hurt Sally. I know you think am some cold inhuman person but am not, I have feelings too and when my feelings get hurt, you wouldn't like it one bit!” he said, I know I said Lucas wouldn't hurt me but at this point, I wasn't even sure“One last time, how much do you know about me huh?” He asked, I shut my eyes slightly,“Nothing” I said. Lucas burst out laughing,“Now you are a bright girl Sally, I know you know something, I would hate to hurt you because of the condition you are in” he said as he removed a knife from his pocket, that was unexpected and made my heart beat increase“Tell me” he urged on“Fine!,, I know you are the mastermind?” I sai
Chapter 148…Sally…Has we looked at Melissa's body for body viewing, I couldn't believe she was really dead, the first time I was at her funeral, we had no body to burial and now, she was really died, couldn't escape this I guess,I looked at Robert and saw how he was crying so I held his hand in comfort. I was surprised when I saw Lucas among the people that had just arrived,He didn't say anything about attending Melissa’s funeral, I felt uneasy as I didn't know how to act, my emotions where visible on my face most of time but I knew I had to act cool or he would know. He walked towards me and Robert and stood just behind us.The nerve of this man, standing looking down at Melissa probably laughing his heart out. How insane can someone be?.After the burial was over, Lucas, Robert and I walked to Robert's car“You are okay” he said “Yes, you?” I asked“Am fine” I could feel Robert's hand tighten around my own hand, he was uneasy,“I think we should get going so we can plan our wed
Chapter 147…Sally…Robert was kneeling on the floor massaging my shallowen legs,“That feels good” I said relaxing my head behind the wall“You shouldn't have troubled your legs like this” Robert scolded“But then if I didnt, you wouldn't have been here massaging my legs so I would say it was worth it” I said with a chuckle,“Sally” Robert called, his voice sounded serious so I lifted my head to look at him,“Yes” I answered our eyes locked“I love you” that was the most unexpected thing to say, I found myself tongue-tied, I could feel my cheeks already getting pink but before I could respond to him, his phone rang“Should i answer it or I should wait for you to respond to what I said?” Robert asked still holding my gaze“I think you should answer it, it could be important” I said finally looking away“Nothing is more important to me than you” he said making my heart do flip flops, I loved this man and to hear him say it just felt magical,“Seriously, get the phone Robert” I said, H
