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 96 ...Sally... The party was amazing, Grandpa was one of a kind and made me feel in place for the first time in my life. Robert on the other hand was also a sweetheart, he stayed by me most of the time and constantly asked if I needed anything. "What did you get Grandpa as a present?" He asked as he carried the big wrapped gift box He came with, "You will see it" I said and walked with him. Robert handed Grandpa his present, he opened it only to discover a black tuxedo, A diamond watch and some silly looking shoes. "Where do you even think I will wear this Robert, am old and barely able to leave my room" he commented, I understood him somehow, I mean, it would have made a lot more sense if he bought him something else "Grandpa, you have everything money can possibly buy, I didn't know what to get you" Robert told him, "Despite being my favorite Grandson, you sure a bad present giver" the old man said making us all laugh. Just then, I got out a paper from my hang bag an
Chapter 97 ...Lucas... I would like to think am one of the few people on earth who are able to mask up their emotions perfectly, But that moment as Robert and Diana questioned Grace about the person responsible for the pregnancy, I could barely breathe or stand still. Never in my wildest dreams did I think Grace would announce this today, "You are only 21, you still have school and yet you get pregnant?" Diana asked as she paced back and forth in front of Grace, it was evident that she wanted so badly to hit Grace but had to compose herself in front of everyone "Tell me, who is the man responsible!" She demanded, when Grace looked towards my direction I felt the blood on my face drain, I quickly walked to them and spoke for the first time, "I know him, the man responsible for her pregnancy, he is a close friend of mine" I announced, everyone's attention fell on me, "You knew all along?, tell me, Who is it?" Diana asked while Grace only looked at me confused, not to arise suspic
Chapter 98...Robert..."You are still sweating?, are you feeling any better?" I asked Sally as I checked her eyes and body temperature"No, am not fine" She replied. I couldn't understand what was wrong all of a sudden, one moment we were at the party and she was okay and the next we are in the car heading to the hospital"Did you take or drink anything?" I asked"It was a party Robert, of course I ate and drank something" she replied"Okay, what else are you feeling?, do you feel like vomiting?" I asked trying to figure out what was wrong with her, Sally suddenly looked at me like she had just realized something,"What is it?" I anxiously asked"I think I know what is wrong with me, I have only felt this way once in my life before" she explained looking away out the window, sweat was visible on her forehead and her hand which I was holding was also shaky and sweating,"What is it?" I asked,"The night I met you, I felt the same way" she finally said making me stop the car immediatel
Chapter 99...Sally...The next morning, Robert and I returned back home only to meet Melissa sleeping in the living room couch, it was evident she had spent the night there probably waiting for me and Robert to return.A dejected Robert made his way to her, I could see the guilt clearly on his face,"Melissa" he gently woke her up, when she opened her eyes, she looked at him with teary eyes"I was so worried about you but you ignored my call and switched off your phone when I called, what is this Robert?, why the hell are you doing this to me?" She demanded tears falling down her cheeks.I could tell she was genuinely hurt which also made me feel guilty,"I can explanation, Robert isn't entirely at fault, I had fallen sick and he took me to the hospital where I spent a night" what had happened was partly my fault since Robert had to be with me because I was drugged,"Don't dare speak for him" she turned to Robert"Why didn't you tell me anything instead of leaving me worried?" She as
Chapter 100 ...Lucas... I had sold Melissa out, working with her would be irrelevant if Sally began to suspect me, I had to save my own skin just as I knew she would if she was in my situation. "Am worried about the baby" Sally began with a deep sign as she ran her hand around her flat tummy "What if she tries to kill it?, Robert won't trust me even if I tell him unless" she paused and looked at me hopefully, I didn't like where this was going "Unless you talk to him and tell him everything you know about Melissa" she continued "Look, am only telling you all this because you and I are friends, Robert would never believe me, in fact, am sure he will try to say we are both trying to accuse Melissa with lies" I said, Sally was thoughtful for a moment "I don't wanna lose my baby Lucas, and I don't think am any safe in that house staying with Melissa" "I know that's why am urging you to be more careful" I told her, "I will, Thanks" Our food was served and we began to eat, Sally ba
Chapter 101...Lucas...After what felt like forever, I finally went over to Grace and felt her purse, luck enough, she was still breathing but I knew I had already messed up,I carried her to the basement and tied her to a chair,I then shut her mouth and eyes and went back to my room in a state of panic. The damage was already done now I had to think of my next moves properly.Looking at my wall clock, I discovered, I was already late for my class, I quickly grabbed my phone, car keys and headed out.I tried to be as much calm as possible while conducting the class, when I was done, Mathews walked over to me with Sally"Is everything okay?" Sally asked looking at me keenly"Yes, everything is okay, am just feeling a little sick, I will get going now" I said and gathered all my stuffs exiting the room.When I reached my car, Mathews walked over to me,"What do you want?" I asked,"I didnt get any feedback from you, am I hired?" He asked, I turned to him thoughtful"Am unable to reac
Chapter 102...Melissa...I knew Lucas had thought about it too as he didn't look too surprised with my suggestion"I don't know if I can manage to do that, I mean its not like am a serial killer" he finally said"Neither am I, but we don't have to be the ones to do it, there are many ways to kill someone, for example, we could poison her or let her die out of hunger" I gave my suggestions"There is no way I will allow her to stay in my house for long, I will go with the first suggestion" he said."Good, go now, I will watch over her" I said.Both Lucas and I left the room, while I went to the basement, he went outside to his car."Melissa, am glad you are here, please help me!" Grace cried, she had a huge injury on her forehead with dried up blood on her face, she looked like she had been here for long"Please untie me" she pleaded. I did not respond but instead sat on the chair opposite her"You are in on this too right?, both you and Lucas are insane, I will make sure you pay for d
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
