Chapter 66 ...Lucas... After Robert walked out of my room, I immediately turned to Grace, "Go back to your room incase Robert decides to check up on you" Grace left shortly after without wasting time, I went back on my bed a sign of relief washing over me, If Robert had found Grace in the room, all my plans would have been ruined. The realization of that made me furious at Grace, at this point, I knew I needed to think of something quick. Just as I was about to fall asleep, The door to my room opened and Grace walked in, A frown formed on my face as I met her halfway the room "What are you doing here?" I asked "I didn't get to talk with you, Robert has already gone back to Sally's room after checking on me" "What the heck is wrong with you, do you want to us to get caught or what?" I demanded angrily, "Relax, Robert didn't see me in this room" her response sent me on the edge, "You know we need to be careful, imagine what would have happened if I didn't lock the door, not only
Chapter 67...Sally..."Don't get yourself Involved in this Sally" Robert spoke, "Nothing happened to me Robert, am fine, don't get your mom arrested over something as minor has this", Despite Mrs Crown trying to harm me, I knew that if she got arrested, Her hatred for me would just increase"Please Robert" I pleaded holding his arm, Robert let out a deep sign"Go back to your room and have some rest" he said and followed the officers and his mother out."Don't worry so much about Mom, she will be back home in no time" Lucas said "I feel uneasy about this, I don't want Mrs Crown to hate Robert because of me" I admitted, I had noticed that since I came into the family, Robert and his mother seemed to drift apart even more, it made me feel guilty especially since I got along with my parents until they died,I let out a deep sign"I hope so" I voiced out,"I will go and See if Rita is done" I began to wheel myself out of the room with Lucas following behind"Are you taking her to schoo
Chapter 68....Sally....My mind was numb as I looked at the photo on the screen of my phone, I had so many questions, How was Melissa still alive and why did she fake her death?,I wondered if Doctor Crown had something to do with this since Robert had once mentioned she didn't like Melissa."We are here!" I was driven out of my thoughts when I heard Lucas's voice, Rita got out of the car and came to my window side"I will see you again soon okay, take care of your self" Rita kissed my cheek"See you and take care of yourself too" she said, I watched as she entered her hostel,"You look awfully disturbed since you received that phone call, is everything okay?" Lucas asked as he drove off"Everything is fine" I said forcing a smile. I felt like I was having a panic attack, Though I had my suspicion about the woman being Melissa, finding out it was really her freaked me out even more.I began to wonder why she was stalking me or what she was planing, I was again dragged out of my thou
Chapter 69...Sally..."Promise me you won't" "I promise, but you also need to promise me that whatever happens, you will not abandon me and this baby, don't forget that am only keeping it because you want it" I searched his face keenly,"I promise, Since I lost Melissa, the fact that I will be a father is the only thing that keeps me sane, I won't allow anything to happen to you, Rita or the baby" I let out a sign of relief,"Do you still love and miss her?" I figured since he was this drank, he would be honest with me just like he admitted to feeling lonely something he would never say when sobber "Melissa?" He asked"Yes" I replied, Robert was thoughtful for a while"Yes, they say true love only comes once and I had that with Melissa, weather dead or not, I will always love her" All the assurance I felt a few seconds earlier when Robert promised he wouldn't let anything happen to me or my sister vanished,I knew that if Melissa came back, things would be different, I had to act
Chapter 70...Sally...I briefly closed my eyes thinking when I open them again, it would be all a dream, but even when I opened them again,Melissa's face was staring at me, "you look horrified!" She noted seemingly amused"How is this even possible, you died in that accident together with three other people, how are you alive?,"Melissa burst out laughing "I swear the look on your face is priceless" she said in between laughter"Why did you fake your death Melissa, do you have any idea how Robert suffered thinking you were dead?, how could you do this to someone you claim to love?" The way Robert was devastated after she died, I still remember like it was just yesterday"I know you have a lot of questions, how about we meet somewhere amd I will provide you with answers" I scolfed at her"You think am stupid enough to meet you somewhere private when you have been stalking me these past weeks?, if you can fake your own death, then am certain you can do worse. If you want to answer my
Chapter 71....Sally...When I entered the motel, I asked the receptionist which room Melissa was in just like she instructed me,"Room 25" the receptionist said"Thank you, which way should I go?" The kind receptionist led the way and went back after she left me at room number 25,I took a deep breath and knocked on the door, what ever Melissa would do to me, Robert would never forgive her."Come in" I hear a voice say and I entered, the room was dime light but I could see Melissa on the bed looking at me,"Take a sit Sally, I knew you wouldn't chicken out""Simply because I want answers" I responded, there in front of me was Melissa, she looked fine, no wounds or broken ribs or anything, this made me wonder if she was ever in that car that exploded."I must admit, it is brave of you to come here alone despite me stalking you for weeks, ain't you scared?" Inwardly, I was even more nervous, I didnt want to die here and especially at Melissa's hands"Am not scared of you, now I don't h
Chapter 72...Sally..."You know, you make me wonder why you went through the trouble of all this if you really want Robert. If you are done, am going home, Robert will be worried", Melissa attempted to stop me holding my shoulder making me stop The wheelchair"You do anything sneaky, Robert finds out everything?" I warned her, with this, She let me go and I quickly hurry out of the hotel.After calling Mathews to pick me up, I finally signed a sign of relief,I was scared in there and didn't think I would make it out alive, Melissa was one messed up person, that was for sure.Soon after, Mathew's car pulled up and helped me enter the car"Are you okay?, after the way you hang up, I assumed something happened to you" I turned to him with a horrified face,"Mathews, tell me you didnt send the message I left" "Am sorry but I did, I thought something was going to happen to you" I covered my face with both my palms my head spinning,If Robert heard my voice note, he would know Melissa w
Chapter 73....Sally....I turned to look at Robert wondering how much he had heard, did he just find out that Melissa was still alive?, I became more scared and anxious,"Jane, I will call you in a bit" I said as I hang up the call"I, I want to check for something" I finally answered"What is that?" He asked with raised eyebrows, with my heart begging rapidly, I came up with the most absurd thing ever"Remember how you said I shouldn't date anyone while carrying your baby, I thought about it and felt that it was unfair if you don't do the same, so I wanted to check your phone to confirm if you are hooking up with anyone" Robert let out a smile making me relieved, he actually bought my lie"Is that so?" He asked amused"Yes, why else would I need your password, so can I check?" I asked putting the phone in front of him for face ID, he didnt stop me. Once the phone was unlocked, I looked for the massage which was not yet opened and deleted it, I then pretended to go through his phone
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
