Chapter 74...Lucas...Robert helped Sally in the car, he didnt look pleased at all which made me wonder why he was agreeing to her going with me."Take care of her and take her home early" he said,"Yeah, sure" I said"Hey Lucas" Sally greeted after wearing her seat belt"Hey beautiful, is he going somewhere?" I asked"Yeah, a meeting" she explained,"What is it?" She asks as she notices the look on my face"I don't know, just that am not aware of any meeting" I was lying, I wanted to know how much Sally liked Robert"Am sure you ain't just aware, Robert doesn't lie to me" she said, oh, I was going to prove her wrong, maybe not now since Robert was in deed at a meeting but I would one day."Am sure he doesn't" I replied. We talked about various things until we reached the mall"What did you want to buy here?" She asked as my car pulled up"I want to buy some books, do you love novels?" I knew the answer to that question, I didn't like books much, not much of a reader, however, I had
Chapter 75 ...Lucas... Sally gave me the address of the inn, "are you sure it was really her?" I asked, I was still in disbelief, Melissa was obsessed with Robert, she was always like that, the fact that she faked her death on her wedding day didn't make any sense. "It was her, I spoke to her, unless she has a twin, then its definitely her" Sally said. "Does Robert know?" I asked, when I saw her look uneasy, I knew she had not told him anything yet "I want to keep it a secret for now, if there is anyone who deserves to tell him, I think she should be the one, he will have a lot of questions only she can answer", I was surprised at how calm Sally was about the whole topic, perhaps she didn't like Robert like I thought, "So what happens between you and Robert when she comes back?, I didnt picture you to be the type of woman to give up easily" Sally let out a deep sign "Robert has never been mine to begin with" she answered. We finally reached the mansion, "I need to go somewhe
Chapter 76 ...Sally... "What are you thinking about?, you seem to be absent minded, what's wrong?" Grace asked laying next to me on her bed. "Am fine, don't worry" I assured her with a deep sign "Is it Robert?" She asked, I knew she would continue to question me if I didnt come up with an answer soon, I turned to look at her "What kind of woman does Robert like?" I asked taking her by surprise "Robert?, well he has only been with one woman his entire life so I wouldn't know, if I were to guess, I probably would say blondes" she replied with a laugh, however I was serious "Wait, don't tell me you are in love with him?!" She asked puzzled "Yes, I have developed feelings for him but I know he will always love Melissa" I let out another deep sign. I knew Robert and grace where pretty close thats why I confused, Grace already liked me, hearing I was in love with Robert would make her to try to convince him to forget Melissa "Thats surprising, no offense but I think Robert still th
Chapter 77 ...Sally... "What!?" Mrs Crown exclaimed clearly shocked as she now stood in front of us "Thats Good news, finally, my heart is now at rest" Grandpa immediately said visibly happy, I let out a sign of relief as my attention went To Mrs Crown, "Dad, why on earth would you congratulate them, this is bullshit, Robert can't be married to this woman" her look of disgust was all over her face "Diana!" Grandpa exclaimed "What?, you know I have never gone against you and respect you a lot but this is about my son, I don't want you to get involved" she then brought her attention to us, Robert in particular "I won't accept this, you can't marry this woman" She repeated, however, Robert smiled at me holding my hand tightly, I could feel he was uneasy but he didn't let it show to his Mom "I didn't come here to ask for permission, we are here to inform you, what you do about this information is none of our business" Robert rudely said "And am telling you I won't accept it, if
Chapter 78...Sally..."I feel Awful which is the worst feeling a new bride is ought to have" i said with a deep sign on our way home"What is troubling you?" Robert questioned taking a second to look at me before focusing his attention to the road"About your mom, I really think you two should settle whatever differences you have and mend your relationship, I feel guilty that am the one causing you two to drift apart" I explained. I know there relationship wasn't good to begin with but Mrs Crown threatening to Disown Robert was too much, I don't know what I expected from Mrs Crown, if she didn't want Melissa for her son, I should have realized she would hate me even more."I don't want you to worry about Mom, she won't disown me because am her ticket to becoming powerful" Robert responded with no emotion.When we reached home, Robert carried me to my bedroom "should I cook something for you?, are you hungry?" He asked, I shook my head"I don't have any appetite" I said but he wasn
Chapter 79...Lucas..."Earlier you said you are expecting a child but you didn't tell us who the woman carrying your child is" Uncle David said as we sit to have a few drinks at his house"I didn't?" I asked "Tell me, am curious to know who the woman is and why you keep her as a big secret, None of the family members know you are dating talkless of having a child" I pictured what his face would look like if I told him the woman was none other than grace, except from being surprised, he would be glad as any family Drama concerning Diana pleased him but this wasn't the time to reveal that or make him happy,"Why should I tell you when you even didnt invite me to Joshua's wedding?" I saw the look of surprise on his face as it slowly turned to a smile"You knew?" He asked, of course I knew, I was upto date with everything going on in everyone's life without their knowledge, thats what made me the best player in this game of ours"Yes, I found out. You see uncle David, it is so easy for
Chapter 80...lucas...After I was a bit far from the villa, I stopped the car and took long deep breaths, I was in a bad mood, angry and upset, The fact that Diana thought I seduced her made my blood boil, the only person who I seduced was Grace not her. She made me the type of man I was right now.I called the university to cancel the class I had and went straight to the mansion. There, I packed all my things and had them delivered to the Apartment I had purchased a few months back. I then went to Grandpa's room."Lucas, you are here" I walked over to the bed seating on the edge of the bed"Yes, I actually came to say goodbye" I said"Where are you going, what happened?" He asked looking worried. Grandpa was one of the people I knew cared for me, he did consider Robert his favorite which bothered me a lot but still I knew he cared for me too."The apartment I bought earlier as been empty for a while, I need to move there" I said,"Come on Lucas, do you also want to be like David, i
Chapter 81...Sally..."Are you ready?" Robert asked, I took a deep breath"Yes, am ready" I answered, Robert slowly uncovered my eyes, I was left dumbfounded looking at the Villa in front of me"Its big and beautiful" I said not finding the right words to use as I looked around, if it was this nice outside, I couldn't help wondering about the inside"Do you like it?" He asked with a satisfied smile"I love it, I can't believe I will be staying here, I love it Robert" I said, he held my hand and led me inside,And just as i expected, it was beautiful,"Let me take you to our room" he said, we went to our room which had a big king bed in the middle and two walk in wardrobes and A bathroom and toilet, The big glass window showed a clear view of the lake nearby while the other showed the front of the house"Make yourself comfortable, while you are still in a wheelchair, I will hire a nanny to take care of you during the day, I will be at the hospital most of the times and won't be able
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
