A MAN FULL OF GUILT...Robert...I quickly went through the list Adam had sent me but oddly enough, I didnt find the woman I was looking for,I knew she couldn't have possibly come and entered our house without being invited, Mom was always strict on things like that. I let out a frustrated sign,The loud ringtone of my phone quickly got my attention, when I looked at the screen, I saw that it was The private hospital calling and answered the call"Hello""Doctor Crown""What is it Doctor?, what happened to Melissa" I asked anxiously,"She moved her fingers for a brief Moment some minutes ago, I thought you should Know" The Doctor said, that was great news, considering how Melissa had been in a coma for two years, this was really great news"I will be on my way" I said and hang up the call,I was filled with different types of emotions as I rushed to my car.Melissa and I met in high school, she was my childhood sweetheart, we grow up together, went to the same schools and eventually planned our life together until everything fell apart because of me, the events of that unforgettable night were vivid, its almost as if I relived the moment each time I thought of it.It was her birthday two years ago, I had planned everything to perfection and proposed to her, she said yes and that was the happiest moment of my life, but then after the party I had planned for her ended, we drove home and thats when the accident happened,That was the last day I saw my Melissa smiling at me, for two years, she has been a coma, unable to live on, my heart ached for her, I had done this to her, only if I had been more careful then perhaps things wouldn't have turned out the way they did,My heart felt heavy, I always felt that same way every time I went to see her, the fact that she had moved her hand was a sign she would wake up soon amd come back to me, I longed for her, for the time we lost all because of me, I wanted to make it up to her.Within 12 minutes, I was inside the Doctor's office"Did you check her vitals?" I asked"Yes Mr Crown, everything seemed ordinary" The Doctor responded, I nodded"Thank you for telling me, I will go in and see her" The Doctor politely nodded.When I reached Melissa's ward room, I stood there for a few more minutes trying to compose myself, this has never been easy for me, I felt that perhaps she hated me for stealing away her life especially with what happened last night, the guilt was killing me.I slowly opened the door and put the flowers I had brought in the vessel on a table, I went near the bed and held her hand in mine squeezing it gently"Am sorry Baby" I whispered kissing the palm of her hand,I stared at her beautiful face which once held the most beautiful smile,"You moved your hand, I was really happy when the Doctor told me, Am sorry you are still in this condition, if I had my way, I would have taken your place" I paused as I felt my heart get even more heavy"Everyday, I come here hoping to see the day you will be sitting here smiling at me, I love you melissa, please don't make me wait any longer, its killing me" I wiped out a tear from the corner of my eye and let out a deep sign"I miss you so much babe, please don't punish me like this anymore" My eyes drifted to the ring on her finger before I looked at the one on mine"I want to marry you and have a beautiful family like we planned, don't make me wait any longer, I don't know how long I can bare it" I let out another deep sign,The door to the ward room suddenly opened and i immediately turned to see who had entered"Mom?" I said surprised"I knew you would be here, Robert, these are Work hours, why would you waste your time here?" She asked,"What do you want?" I asked firmly"Get the Doctors to switch off the life support machine, She is never going to wake up and I can not bare it any longer seeing you getting destroyed and blaming yourself over something that wasn't your fault" I let out a small chuckle and stared at the floor"I am not destroying my life, how could you even come here asking me to do that?, I love Melissa, you should know by now am never letting her go" Despite the endless fights I had with my mom about Melissa in the past, she just wasn't ready to drop this topic"Fine but don't you dare think I will just sit here and wait for you to come back to your senses" that statement got my attention as I stood up looking her in the eye"You sent that woman last night didnt you?" I asked with raised eyebrows, Mom was quite for a few seconds before she burst out laughing"What woman?, Robert what exactly are you accusing me of this time around?" She appeared to be disappointed but I knew her all too well,"I didn't know you could stup as low as drugging me" I murmured"Robert!, whatever made you think that of me, have some respect!" She was quiet for a few seconds before she spoke"I have a proposal for you" she began"What is it this time?" I asked"I talked to Melissa's mom, she already gave the consent to have the life support machine turned off, she signed the papers and because she gave them to me, I can decide when exactly to do it" I didnt like where this conversation was going, Melissa's mom had told me about this but I thought I had managed to talk her out of it, I didnt think she could fall for my mom's persuasion"What do you want?" I asked knowing fully well that whatever she said, I wasn't going to allow her to switch off the machine"You bare me an heir and I will let her live as long as you want"....Related chapters

Chapter 6 COMPENSATION ...SALLY... "Are you sure you going to be okay?" I asked Rita who was still laying in her bed, she had been discharged a few weeks ago and was getting a little better, "Of course I am Sally, you worry too much about me" She Complained looking irritated. I didnt feel like leaving her alone especially since she wasn't yet fully recovered, Today was the beginning of my exams, I didnt have much of a choice because if I didnt take the test, I was going to have to rewrite next year, my heart ached as I looked at Rita "The food is already in the microwave in case you get hungry, call me if something happens okay" I said "That's like the hundredth time you have told me that Sally, I will be okay, just go and write the exam before its too late" she nagged, I slowly nodded and kissed her forehead "Remember to call me" "I know!" Rita said, I looked at her for the last time, taking a deep breath, headed out. Jane, my best friend was waiting for me when I got outsid
A NIGHT WITH DOCTOR ROBERT CROWN chapter 7
Chapter 7 PREGNANT ....Sally... I could finally let out a breath of relief has Robert's car drove off, I pressed my hand on my chest to calm down, I quickly reached for my phone and dialed Doctor Crown's number, her son didn't look pleased at all which made me believe he wasn't bluffing about the whole court thing. Unfortunately for me, I couldn't reach Doctor Crown, the line she had previously used was no longer reachable. I was rather getting restless, What if That Robert Crown really took me to court?, I had no money to pay him "Sally!" I turned around to see Jane behind me "Oh you are done" I said walking to her car "What happened, you look like you just saw a ghost" I touched my cold cheeks and let out a deep breath "I indeed feel like I just saw a ghost" I stated as we both entered her car "What happened?" Jane asked seemingly interested "I will tell you everything later" I softly spoke dialing Doctor Crown's number yet again to no vail, The ride home was of silence ex
A NIGHT WITH DOCTOR ROBERT CROWN chapter 8
Chapter 8NO WAY OUT...Sally...The room seemed to have suddenly become small making it impossible to stay composed.If someone told me a month ago that I would be seating here with the famous Doctor Crown under this circumstance, I would have laughed as it would seem impossible,"How can I be pregnant?" I softly asked looking at her grining face, I acknowledge the fact that I had agreed to sleep with her son willing but looking at the Doctor right now made me realize how naive I had been,She had this all planned out from the beginning and yet I had regarded her a miracle in my hour of need, I suddenly felt so stupid"I know all this is sudden Sally" she began as she handed me her phone which I took staring at a document,"What is this?" I asked confused"Thats a NDA you signed coupled with a few more papers" Doctor Crown explained,"You tricked me, I didnt sign up for this" my eyes drifted to the test result Doctor Crown had now pressed on the table,How on earth could I be pregna

Chapter 9AT THE CROWN MANISON...Sally..."Hey Baby" I entered Rita's room and put a tray with a glass of milk on her bedside and took a sit right beside her"Hey, how were the exams?" Rita asked sitting up"Am pretty sure I nailed the paper" I answered forcing a smile."What happened?" Rita suddenly asked after taking a sip of her drink"Nothing happened, I was just worried about leaving you alone" "Who was that man and what did he want?" She asked with raised eyebrows"He is just a friend" I quickly gave her the glass of milk"Drink this" I said, Rita did as told."I hope you did not get yourself in any sort of trouble just trying to find the money you paid for my surgery", I hated the fact that Rita was too sensitive, I put out the best smile I could muster"Its not that, Am actually here to tell you we will be moving" I watched her face closely "Moving to where?" She asked, I took my gaze to the wall trying to avoid eye contact, I hated lying to her"What's wrong Sally?" She ask

Chapter 10CONFRONTATION...ROBERT..."Grandpa, please you have to understand that I drugged, I don't even know that woman" I tried to explain to my grandfather after Lucas left the room with the woman"The deed has already been done Robert, we can't ignore the fact that she is carrying your heir" I was frustrated as I looked at mom, "Listen to your grandfather Robert" she said, I fought with the urge to answer her back rudely but I knew that would only ensure an endless argument with her"We cant even be sure the baby is mine, that woman is clearly poor and will do anything just to get her hands on our money",. The moment I had done a background check and found out about that woman, Sally, it was evident she was doing this for the money and probably some good opportunities Mom had presented to her.Mom and I have been playing the cat-mouse game for long, we did not share a loving mother-son relationship as most people believed. This wasn't due to the fact that I hated her, it was bec

He immediately asked"Am home, is something wrong?" I asked even though I already had an idea why he was calling"Come to my place right now" I answered with an okay and grabbed my car keys. In the next 20 minutes, I pulled up my car at his residence and went to see him,Has expected, Uncle David was angry and uneasy,"How could you let this happen" he asked when I entered his study, me on the other hand wasnt in the least disturbed as I took a sit comfortably in one of the sofas"Do you even understand the griveness of the issue?"

Chapter 12THE AWAKE OF SLEEPING BEAUTY...Robert...To say I was disturbed would be an understatement, I tried to think of where mom could have taken Melissa but couldn't figure it out which made me even more anxious,I couldn't help thinking what if she wasn't well taken care of or if they switched off the life support machine, these thoughts made me even more disturbed.After thinking things through, I found myself at Sally Andrews now bedroom door, taking a deep breath, I knocked.After a minute, she opened the door for me and seemed surprised to see me"Why are you here?" She asked taking a quick glance inside the room before she closed the door behind"I want us to talk" I began"About what?, haven't you insulted me enough for today?" She might have felt insulted but there was nothing that I said that wasn't true, "I am here over something important, follow me" I said and began to make my way to my room with her following behind."What do you want to talk about?"

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.

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

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

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.
