Chapter 34AWARKWARD...sally..When I heard Robert's heavy breathing indicating that he had fallen asleep, I let out a sign of relief and tried to push him away from me but my efforts seemed to be in vein cause he still hold unto me tightly,Realizing there was no way I would over power him and get out of his bed, I finally gave up and tried to get some sleep but this was also impossible with him being close to me like this.I began to think about what he had just said earlier and wondered if he meant it. Marriage was a big deal for me, if I ever got married, I wouldn't have wanted it to be because of a child, I wanted to fall in love and because I knew it wasn't possible with Robert, I knew marriage was out of question.Taking another deep breath, I tried one last time to free my self and this time, I succeeded and moved a few inches away from him,I fell asleep looking at his peaceful face that night.The next morning, I woke up and found myself in bed alone, I could hear the water
Chapter 35A DATE...SALLY...When class was over, I waited for the students to leave so I could wheel my chair out without any inconvenience, Mathews didn't go out with the rest but I wished he did,He had spend half of the class talking to me about the Crown family, at some point, I would almost correct him but didn't want him to ask me how I knew, the man was too loud for my liking,When the class was less crowded, I grabbed my bag,"Let me help you" Mathews suggested and began wheeling me out, just before we left the class, Lucas called my name making us stop"When is your next class?" He asked,"In the afternoon" I answered awkwardly"Let me take you home" I felt guilty as I watched mathews looking at us surprised, he probably had a lot of questions since I had lied this was the first time I was seeing Lucas Crown up close,"I will see you later Mathews" I said, Lucas held the wheelchair and wheeled me out getting the attention of the other students,"Did you have to make it obvi
Chapter 36...SALLY.."Eat up before the food gets cold" Lucas said, I looked at the food wondering what to do, as much as I didnt expect Lucas of trying to harm me in anyway, I couldn't help thinking that Robert had a reason to doubt his own brother, not wanting to take any chances, I let out a sign,"I have lost my appetite, Robert is just unbelievable!" I said throwing my hands in the air in frustration"Did he say something to upset you?" Lucas asked,"He expects me to report to him about everything, I feel like he is treating me like a child, its irritating" I voiced out, though that was the truth but at least now I had a reason not to eat without making Lucas feel bad about it,"He is on his way right now, its unfair that he treats me like a baby" I added, Lucas put his hand on mine and squeezed it gently, I was surprised by the small gesture"Don't get so upset now, calm down" he said, I awkwardly slipped my hand from under his and nodded. Lucas tried to convince me to eat for
Chapter 37...Sally..."Its not fair, this isn't fair, do you even know the trouble I had to go through just to be in this kitchen?" My voice was breaking as I began sobbing, Robert tried to carry me from the floor but I pushed him off. It had been almost five hours since he left the house while knowing I wouldn't be able to go anywhere or do anything without my wheelchair, was this his form of punishment for me"Am sorry, I was held up at the hospital there was an emergency" he tried to explain but I wasn't ready to put up with that"Am pregnant and I can't walk, what emergency would make you abandon me for more than five hours?, for some one who pretends To want this baby, you have a great way of showing that",Robert's look dejected as he opened his mouth to say something but ended up quiet again, he instead carried me and this time I let him take me to my room,If it wasn't for the injured legs, I would have began packing right away and left his apartment but because there was noth
Chapter 38 ...Sally... "But you are right, since we are staying together, we need to find a way to communicate with each other" Robert said "Yes" I agreed and watched as he continued to cook. "The other day when I was drank.." He began, my mind wondered off to the said day remembering how I had slept next to him. "Nothing happened actually" I quickly said thinking he probably wanted to ask if we got close in some way "I know, I remember everything. I also remember I asked you to marry me, have you thought about it?", I looked at him eyes wide, "What?" I said still surprised, I thought he was under the influence of alcohol when he asked me to marry him, "Unless you are already in a relationship, I don't see a reason we can't get married, we would raise the child together, if you think about it, it would bring us both more advantages" he explained but I shook my head letting out a small smile "Honestly, I don't know if I want this child, I understand what it means to you and b
Chapter 39....Sally....A dark crowd seemed to have fallen the Crown family, While an angry crowd gathered Outside Robert's hospital protesting and blaming The Crown family for all the people that died, Old Grandpa was in a critical condition, because of everything going on, The family couldn't take him to one of their hospitals so instead, they opt to treat him at home in his room where they had gathered all the necessary equipment needed to turn it to a hospital-like room,I had also gotten to meet all of the Crown family members that night, apparently because of grandpa's sudden sickness, they had all come to the house,I came to find out that the old man had three sons and a total of seven grandchildren, All of them where present except from Robert and his mother and David's oldest daughter Sara.We where all gathered in the living room where Robert's uncle David had made us gather. Before he could begin what he wanted to say to his family, his attention focused on me as he watch
Chapter 40...Lucas..."He is at the police station and won't be back until late" Diana answered Sally, "Was he arrested, what happened?" Sally immediately asked looking worried, while I was quietly sitting beside her, I didn't like it one bit that she showed this much concern over Robert.I felt the familiar gut feeling which I figured was jealous consume me, I had realized it already that I liked Sally maybe this was because she was carrying Robert's baby and could be considered his, While I was an ambitious man with plans, I was man enough to know I was obsessed with everything that belonged to Robert, yes, his Mother, his sister and even his now dead fiance. Everything that belonged to Robert was rightful mine. "He had to report everything that had happened" Diana answered Sally, she seemed to calm down when she heard that,"I will go to bed now, good night" she said as she began to wheel herself out, Grace also followed without saying anything, Diana then turned to me when we
Chapter 41...Lucas..."You remind me so much of her so don't be surprised when you notice that am too fascinated with you. I know you are not her but seeing you makes me feel that perhaps she is alive somewhere and waiting for me to find her" I stated,"I understand you fully now and don't worry, I dont mind that we are friends" Sally said with a smile which I also returned"Do you have your phone with you?" She Suddenly asked"Yes sure" I reached for my phone in my pocket"Am worried about Robert actually, I lost my phone earlier today, can you call and ask him how the situation is at the police station, surely he should have been back by now" as much as I was irritated, I pretended to nod in understanding, Was this woman already obsessed with Robert?, Despite my best efforts how could she still be thinking about him?. Unlike Melissa, I figured Despite Sally being Naive and what not, she wasn't going to be an easy person to swell, I needed to up my game if I wanted Her in my bed"Am
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
