Chapter 127...Sally...I woke up to find myself alone in bed, the last thing I remembered was those men covering my nose with some drug that made me pass out,I was so used to that happening especially if they wanted to torture Lucas,Thinking of which, I looked around to the room only to find it empty,Where the hell was Lucas, did they take him to torture him again?,I felt sorry for him and prayed he was okay, over the last week,Things had dramatically changed between Lucas and I, not in a romantic way but I found myself liking him even more, He was kind and thoughtful of me, he gave me most his food the little times we were offered food to eat,I had now officially lost all hope of getting out of this place, no matter how much I hated the thought, I missed Robert greatly.It had reached a point where I had even kissed Lucas last night while thinking about Robert, I was out of it and tired and hence made that mistake, I didnt know how to explain to Lucas why I kissed him, beside
Chapter 128...Sally...About an hour later, Lucas was brought into the room with a bleeding nose, since I was untied, I ran towards him and helped him to the bed,"Why do they keep doing this to you?!" I exclaimed frustrated, with the state in which we were been kept in, he would surely die if they continued to beat him up like this. I helped Lucas to the bed and helped clean the blood off his nose,"Are you okay?" I asked,"Yes, am fine, I told you am stronger than I look" he said forcing a smile, I pulled him in for a hug"Am so sorry" I whispered, I couldn't tell him we would get out of here soon because apparently, that didn't seem possible anymore. After I cleaned Lucas up, I gave him the food I had left him but he quickly shook his head,"You are pregnant, you need this food more than I do" he said,"I have had my fill" I replied,"No, I won't eat your food, we barely get anything to eat, save this for later, you will need it" one thing I had learned about Lucas was that he was
Chapter 129 ...Lucas... One of these days, I was going to cook Ben's balls and cook them and feed them to him, How the heck would he tell such sensitive information to Sally?, she was disturbed because of it and I couldn't help thinking that perhaps she was suspecting me, That thought alone made me want to kill Ben even more, he was going to hear it from me once I had a moment with him. "Lucas can I ask you something?" Sally asked, any sentence that started like this was never a good one, "Sure" I answered "When we kissed, I tasted alcohol from your mouth, now you were taken to be tortured so how is that possible?, I didn't want to have any misunderstanding with you that's why I decided to ask" she says, I turned to look at her a million reasons I could tell her running through my mind. "Yes, I forgot to tell you, Steve made me drink alcohol while he was beating me up, I don't know why I didn't mention this in the first place, I guess I was just embarrassed to tell you what hap
Chapter 130 ...Lucas... "But Boss.." "No buts Ben, only a few days or i will shoot you dead" i threatened with a serious expression,i looked to the wall clock and saw i had already wasted an hour with Ben, "Now, how about we play a little game tomorrow morning?" The two men moved closer to me and i told them what i had in mind and what i wanted to be done, "Go and check on Sally and see if she is awake" i said to Steve, he left the room and came back a few minutes later "She is still sleeping" he reported "Good, now take me there, i cant risk her seeing me entering the room alone, Steve you know what to do" i said to him, Steve walked me to the door and grabbed me by the neck when we enteredhe pushed me to the floor causing me to cry painfully and he left the room, the sound i made seemed to wake Sally up as she sat in bed,"Lucas, what happened?" She asked rushing towards me to help me up"Steve came here to trouble me as usual, one of these days when i have regained enough S
Chapter 131…Sally…I felt like this was a dream and wasn't real, I missed Robert so much that I couldn't help but run into his arms holding him tightly,“I missed you so much Sally, am so glad you are okay” Robert said holding me tightly, I pulled away from him holding his face,“Am i dreaming?, if I am, I don't want to wake up” I said, Robert unexpectedly pitched my cheek,“Ouch!!..this isn't a dream, you finally found me” upon realizing this was actually happening, I broke down and began to cry, Robert quickly removed his jumper and made me wear it,“Its okay, am here now, I promise nothing like this will ever happen to you” she said kissing my forehead, I couldn't help it but hug him again,“I missed you, I thought I was going to die and my only thought was that I wasn't going to see your face again” I cried,“Am here Baby, you don't have to worry, I got you and I will never let you go” his words calmed me down a little.The police arrested Ben and Steve and took them away, Lucas
Chapter 132…Robert…“No, no!” I yelled and turned to Melissa,“Bring me a towel” I said, Melissa throw a towel at me which I used to Wrap around Sally and carried her out of the bathtub“It hurts Robert, my baby, I dont want to lose my baby” she cried“I know” I answer as I rush out of the bathroom with her in my arms,I rushed to my car and got her in,“What's wrong?” Rita asked rushing outside“Pack some clothes for her and met me at the hospital” I then turn to Melissa“Drive her there” I said to her“Seriously?, am not doing that” she answered making me look at her coldly“This is an emergency Melissa, Just drive the damn car to the hospital”, Melissa began to laugh,“You think I will…”“Robert stop arguing with her and take me to the hospital, if something happens to my baby, this will be on you!” I hear Sally yell from the car“Do as I say Melissa!” I say and enter the car and drive off.Immediately we get to the hospital, Sally is addmited, I wait outside the ICU room walking
Chapter 133…Lucas…Home sweet home, I missed this place though it was lonely but more than that, I missed Sally already,I saw the way she looked at Robert, her knight in shining armor, she had never looked at me in that way, what was all that kissing about, was she just leading me on or was that real?,She didn't look at me once when Robert showed up which made me upset. How could she wound my heart like that?.I went through all that trouble just so this could happen?. I decided not to think about it much as I had a more pressing matter.Ben and Steve. Though I visited them at the police station to warn them not to say anything about me offering half a million, I didn't trust they would keep their mouths shut, especially Ben since he didn't seem moved like Steve about the insanely huge sum of money I was offering them. I had to convince him using his daughter, telling him how That money would change her and his wife's lives. He had agreed at last but incase he got cold feet at the
Chapter 134…ROBERT…Rita and I stayed by Sally’s bedside each holding her hand waiting for the medicine to wear off so she could wake upMom came back an hour later looking horrible, her face was a mess and her eyes where Red, its like she had been crying.I had never seen Mom cry before, Maybe at Dad's funeral and Grace's but never for another reason“Did someone die?” I was tempted to ask“No, how is Sally doing?” She asked briefly looking at Sally's way,“Still in the same condition” I said looking at Sally before turning to her,“Can we talk for a moment?” I asked“Yeah, sure” she answered,“Rita i will be back soon” the little girl nodded.I followed mom outside, something was off about her which made me worried and want to know what was happeningMom and I bought two cups of coffee and took a walk“What is it do you want to talk about?” Mom asked,“Are you okay?, you look like you have been crying and you never cry unless otherwise, what happened to you?” I asked, Mom stopped w
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
