Chapter 88....Sally...."Hey Melissa" I said. I wondered what she was doing here but before I could ask, Robert walked in,"I was texting you, where were you?" He asked,"I went to see Grandpa" I replied,"Can i have a word with you?" He asked to which I nodded,"I will see you tomorrow Sally" Lucas said and showed himself out of the house,.Robert took me to the spare bedroom where I noticed all my things had been moved to, I was offended that he had made that choice to kick me out of his bedroom without informing me, However, I knew this was his house and he could do anything he so pleased."Am sorry about yesterday, I understand the embarrassment I caused you, its just that, I was surprised to see Melissa in the condition she was in" he began to explain. I didnt answer him as I felt my chest swell with irritation"What is she doing here?" I instead asked"Thats the thing I wanted to talk to you about. Melissa will be staying with us for a while. She has gone through so much for th
Chapter 89...Sally...My eyes were fixed on the wall clock as I waited for Robert to come back, I had told him I needed to talk to him about something important so why wasn't he here?,I grabbed my phone and thought of calling him since they might have been done with Dinner already, just as I decided to call him, I heard a knock on the door and knew it was him"Come in" I said, he walked in with a tray of food and water pressing it on the side table"I said am not hungry" I said looking away from him, I wanted him to know that I was very angry with him"If not for yourself then eat for the baby" he said, somehow, I felt his voice sounded a little cold. Was he angry because I was rude to Melissa?,"I told you I wanted to speak to you, yet it's been three hours without you Coming" I said now looking at him,Immediately my eyes met his, I knew something was wrong, he looked disappointed and all these other emotions"What's wrong?" I asked as i realized this was bigger than me being rude
Chapter 90...Robert...The next morning, I woke up laying next to Sally who was still sound asleep, looking at her beautiful face, a smile formed on my lips, I reached out and kissed her forehead and then remembered Melissa,Guilty, I quickly got out of bed scolding myself. I had honestly forgotten about her and ended up sleeping in this room,I wondered what she might have thought of me making my guilt intensify,I quickly got out of bed making sure not to wake up Sally,I went to my room and found Melissa seated on the floor her back against the wall,"You are finally back" her eyes drifted to the wall clock"At 5 in the morning" she said with a deep sign"Am sorry, I promise its not what you think" I tried to explain, Melissa stood up looking at me"Oh really?, then tell me what it is Robert" she demanded, I found myself tongue-tied as I didn't have any response"Great, the silence says it all. Did you have sex with her?" She asked, I shook my head almost immediately"Of course no
Chapter 91 ...Melissa... I got outside and stayed for a few minutes, Robert didn't come after me, frustrated, I stormed off and called for a taxi while calling Lucas line. "How can I help you Melissa?" He asked immediately he answered my call "Where are you?" I asked "Am at home" that was the response I wanted "Are you alone?" I asked "Yes, why are you asking?, I hope you are not thinking of coming here, don't" a grin formed on my face, Lucas should have known by now that I wasn't one to listen to instructions "I will see you soon" I said and hang up the call. I gave the driver his address and leaned my head thinking about my biggest problem at the moment, sally. The little bitch was right, Robert would never choose me over her, that only made me more furious, how could he?, I didn't know how to deal with sally but as for the baby, it needed to go, the only woman Robert was supposed to have a child with is me, not Sally or any other woman. Half an hour later, the taxi stopp
Chapter 92 ...Sally... "Was that Melissa?" I asked as Robert took me to the men wear selection of the mall "Yes" he answered, I was curious to know where she had ran off to after their hitted argument "Where is she?, for someone who was recently kidnapped, she seems fine walking around unarmed" I commented, this didnt sit well with Robert "What are you implying Sally, I warned you before, choose your words wisely when talking about Melissa" at that point, I realized Robert wouldn't listen to me no matter what I told him about Melissa. "Fine, you think am lying to you?, I will call Mathews who spoke and took a photo of her when she was stalking me" if my words seemed like lies, perhaps evidence would make him finally believe me, however much to my surprise, Robert was enraged "What is it exactly are you planing to prove by Making Melissa seem like a bad person?, and now you want to make your friend lie on your behalf, stop it Sally, you are doing too much" looking at how upset he
Chapter 93 ...Sally... Jane and I spent the rest of the day together, by the time I was leaving, it was already 6pm, "Please Sally let me drop you off" she insisted "Its fine, I will get a cab, I think its going to rain soon, I wouldn't want you to be stranded" I said, She gave me a tight hug "Call me immediately you get home" she said, I remembered my switched off phone and turned it back on "10 missed calls from Robert, I wonder if someone died" I jokingly said "You did this to him on purpose, am sure he is worried sick about you" thats exactly what I wanted when I came here. The taxi was here and I got in after receiving a hug from her "I will see you soon" I said, she waved at me and the car soon drove off. When I reached home, I found Robert busy on his phone in a seemingly bad state, I wondered what might have happened while I was away, "Robert" I called to get his attention, the moment he looked at me, I saw the look of relief as he rushed towards me in a tight embrac
Chapter 94 ...Melissa... 11pm, I woke with a sharp pain in my stomach, I tried to sit up as I wondered what was wrong with me, I took some pain killers but that only made me nauseous and soon, I rushed to the bathroom to vomit,, After a while, I felt a little better but very hungry. I went to the kitchen and warmed up the leftovers from earlier and began to eat. After I was done, I passed through Robert's room and once I saw him fast asleep, I went back to my room and grabbed my phone. I had just realized something, I couldn't remember the last time I had my periods, I also remembered this wasn't the first time of waking up and feeling nauseous, I tried to comfort myself, however, I knew I was probably pregnant. I went back to bed assuring myself not to worry, I was going to get checked the next day just to be sure. The next morning, I woke up to a beautiful smell, when I opened my eyes, i found a tray at the side table with cooked breakfast and a note which read 'Am sorry abou
Chapter 95 ...Melissa... Finally, the day of the party had arrived, Robert and I dressed and where ready to go however, Sally wasn't coming out of her room, I was getting rather irritated and could no longer hide it, "Get a driver to pick her up when she is done" I said to Robert, "No, she will be done in a bit, let me go and check on her" he was about to head to her room but I held unto his hand stopping him, "I will go, lord knows you won't come back quick enough when you go there" I said and then went to Sally's room, I opened the door without knocking and to my surprise, Sally was standing on her feet, I peeped out the door just to make sure Robert hadn't followed me behind, when I saw it was clear, I turned to her "You little sly wolf, you can walk?" I said still puzzled, "I didn't think you are shallow enough to not have realized that I was involved in an accident, do you really think I was born in a wheelchair?" She rudely answered me. Whatever Lucas said about her b
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
