A NIGHT WITH DOCTOR ROBERT CROWN Chapter 23
Chapter 23 THE SOFT SIDE OF ROBERT ...SALLY... The two brothers held each other's gaze seemingly none of them wanting to back down, I wondered if this was about me or something else, nevertheless, I felt uncomfortable being the center of their attention, I cleared my throat aiming to get their attention but they both didn't seem to flinch, "I will be going back to my room then" I said which seemed to make them focus on me "Your other leg was broken badly, I saw the wound myself, its not adviceable for you to start walking right now" Robert said kneeling down in front of me examining my legs, "I just thought it was now okay, am tired of being stuck, I want to get better soon so that I can go back to school" I said, Robert stood up and began wheeling me back inside the house "Do you really want to go back to school?" He asked "Yes" I answered, I was missing Jane and just being outside this house that it was driving me crazy "I was worried because if you get stressed, it will af

Chapter 24SHOPPING...Sally...Two days after my meeting with Jane, my life was pretty much back to the way it was, I was always at home alone,Doctor crown had stopped me from leaving the house much, I didnt see Robert much except when he came to check up on me at night when I was sleeping most of the time.Grace was also busy with school. My nurse suddenly came to my room getting my attention,"Mr Crown wants to see you" she said, "Grandfather?" I asked to which she nodded, even though Mr Crown and I lived in the same house, I rarely saw him, in fact, I had only seen him a few times since I first came to this house.The nurse helped me to Mr Crown's room which was at the last floor,I wondered why he wanted to see me and couldn't help being nervous.The nurse eventually left me at his front door and went back, I knocked and heard a response and entered the room.Mr Crown was seating on the couch with a chess table right in front of him, he had a glass of wine on the table, he look
A NIGHT WITH DOCTOR ROBERT CROWN Chapter 25
Chapter 25 Poisoned ...Robert... I tried to get some sleep but each time I closed my eyes, Melissa's face flashed in front of me and I found my self waking up, Losing her was one the hardest things I had to endure, I missed her so much, I thought of ways I could have prevented the accident from happening but knew there was no way I could have known. The night was the most difficult part of my day, with nothing to do, my thoughts would be filled with her and the guilt was just too much, I now understood why Sally said she blamed herself after losing her parents, it was easier to blame and hate yourself than accepting that there was no way I would have known. I sat up in bed unable to sleep, after a few seconds, I decided to go and check on Sally, it had rather become a habit, I would go there every night to check up on her just to make sure my baby was okay. The baby she was carrying was the only thing that gave me the zeal to go on, knowing I would be a Dad and would have some

Chapter 26LUCAS'S AFFAIRS..Lucas...After the incident with Sally, I went back to my room and laid on the bed filled with contentment.Yes, I was glad that I got to find out that Robert cared about his child that much,Now I knew his weak points and were to hit him when the right time came. The poison I had put in Sally's food wasn't that dangerous, I wasn't planing on killing her just yet, something about that woman had fascinated me, maybe it was because of how innocent she looked or perhaps I felt sorry for her because I knew how it felt to be caught up in this family, whatever it was, she was lucky because I was interested in her.I was disturbed when I heard a knock on the door, I stood up wondering who would come to my room at this time of the night. When I opened the door, Grace entered my room and closed the door behind surprising me,"What are you doing here?" I asked irritated"I couldn't sleep especially after what happened to Sally" Grace replied as she went over to my be

Chapter 27THE GAME OF A CAT AND TWO MOUSE...Lucas...The next morning, I was woken up by the loud ringing of my cellphone,I stared at the screen as a wave of irritation washed over me, Grace was calling, I let out a low curse and answered the call."Grace, why are you calling this early?" I asked my eyes briefly staring at the wall clock"Am missing school today, I want to see you at our usual place" Grace said, by the sound of her voice, she seemed to be Still upset over what happened in the early hours"Can't it wait, I have some plans today" I said"It cant wait, its about the baby" she replied, upon hearing that, I quickly sat up in bed alerted"What's wrong with the baby?" I asked anxiously"Come to our usual hotel, I can't talk about this over the phone" Grace then hang up the call leaving me with endless questions on what could have happened.I eventually got out of bed and went to take a quick shower, afterwards, I made my way to the hotel passing through a cafe for a quick

Chapter 28MOVING OUT...sally...Has a beam of light shined on my face making me feel like I was sun bathing, I slowly opened my eyes and immediately closed them when the light from the window blinded my vision,I heard someone stand and close the curtains and immediately opened my eyes to a much darker room,"Robert" I said in surprise as i noticed him standing at the window side his attention on me."How are you feeling?" He asked, I sat up holding my stomach before looking at my legs that where still in bondages"Am fine, what happened?" I asked, the last thing I remembered was falling off from the bed after experiencing a very sharp pain in my stomach"Who served you the food you ate last night?" Robert asked"I don't know, I thought you are the one who brought it" I said remembering how I was grateful that he had brought food to my room"I did not, that food was poisoned. You are lucky I found you just in time or you would have died" he explained surprising me"Poisoned?, why and

Chapter 29CAUGHT ON CAMERA...Sally...After Lucas left, Doctor Crown stood beside me,"I see you are getting familiar with the family" she said,"Do i have another choice. Shouldn't you be telling me who poisoned me yesterday?" I knew I sounded rude compared to how I always act but this whole issue was disturbing me."I fired all the maids and had them arrested until they say who brought the food to your room" she answeared suprising me, I felt a little sad that the ones that were innocent had to pay for it as well. Working three part times jobs plus taking care of Rita made me sympathetic,"But the maids, surely they wouldn't just wake up and decide to kill me, what is really happening in this family, will you tell me who is after me or will i be here expecting to die unexpectedly?" I asked, if this family had an enemy, the least they could do is tell me who it was so I could be cautious"Its complicated Sally, but not to worry, am sure Robert told you that you are moving out with h
A NIGHT WITH DOCTOR ROBERT CROWN Chapter 30
Chapter 30 ...Sally... The place Robert bought was a condo on the second floor of a tall building, upon entering inside, I was left in awe at how beautiful and huge it was, I noticed there were new set of furniture and realized he had fixed the place just so we could be comfortable, "you like it?" He asked, of course I did, these where the sort of houses I only saw on t.v or cleaned at my other part time job "Yes, its lovely" I said, Robert wheeled me around the house and showed me to my room, "Since you won't be able to cook in the condition you are in, I hired a maid who will report here every morning to cook and clean and help you out with basic needs" he explained, for a moment, I felt perhaps Leaving with Robert wouldn't be such a bad idea after all. After leading me to my room, Robert's phone rang and he excused himself and walked out of the room, I took the chance to look around the massive bedroom with a queen sized bed, a walk in closet, bathroom and toilet and a balcony

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

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

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

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.

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
