Max looked at Lucy with bewilderment, he couldn't fathom anything. He was muddled, Lucy stared at him without uttering any word at all. He came closer and studied her. Yes, it is obvious that her face doesn't look the same at all but that does not erase the familiarity."Sweetest, don't you remember me?" He asked Lucy who shook her head in response."I am Maximum Hank, don't this name ring a bell." Max asked and came closer and out of impulse, he gave her a tight hug."You don't know how happy I am to see you." Max said when he released her from the hug and he sat down on the chair opposite her."Okay, you have to get one thing straight here, first of all my name is not sweetest and secondly I am Lucy." Lucy said with a soft voice."I don't believe it." Max replied as he looked at her skeptically."That is your business but I am telling you that I haven't meant you before now so please stop fooling yourself. I am not who you think I am." Lucy said with a scowl obviously irritated by w
Andy didn't know where to find Savannah,so he decided to go to the hospital where Lucy is admitted to since Max told him that she's awake already. If there's anyone that he had always prayed never to be on his list of enemies is Douglas.One thing is certain Douglas doesn't know blood relations when he's dealing with people. Andy knows the old man as being cunning and ruthless but still it's been five years now and Douglas has been nothing but a supportive grandfather but right now he isn't sure if he has gone back to being the ruthless man everyone knew him for.Douglas had many cases of kidnapping, murder, illegal sale of organs and women trafficking but yet he hadn't ever been detained instead of that out of the blue someone will confess to being the real culprit and just like that_case closed.Andy ruffled his hair as he kept driving, his mind running on the many things his grandfather might have done to Savannah. Andy hates it that he can't stand against his grandfather no matter
For a minute Savannah felt the ground quake and then she leaned on the door frame. Her vision became blurry as she stared at the empty bed in front of her. She badly wants to scream his name but it is as though she lost her voice all of a sudden.As she scoured around the ward with her eyes yet there was no sight of her brother, she felt the ground began to twirl and she closed her eyes tightly."This is indeed a bad dream,I want to wake up."She muttered to herself with her eyes closed."Hello there."A Female nurse said to Savannah who was leaning on the door frame.Savannah slowly opened her eyes and stared at the lady in front of her. She opened her mouth to ask of her brother but her words betrayed her."If the proper medication isn't given to him, he will die at any moment."The doctor's words rang in her head and she closed her eyes again, tears began to flow down her cheeks."What's the matter?" The nurse asked and when she didn't get a reply she helped Savannah to a nearby chair
It was raining heavily, and Savannah Louis was packing her little things. She had been called by her brother's doctor requesting for her presence at the hospital. Savannah quickly got out of the shop after taking permission from her boss.She opened the glassy door of her shop and got outside, so many people were moving about in the rain. Some were with an umbrella, others were using their hands as an umbrella as they were all looking for shelter. She saw a cab pass by but didn't stop it, she needed to save money for her brother's treatment. Savannah hung her bag tightly across her shoulder and joined the people who were in the rain without an umbrella. She was running very fast as the rain poured down heavily, it didn't seem to take pity on the young lady who was distressed. Savannah was crying as she ran hastily, her tears were mixing up with the rain. She got to the hospital half an hour later, soaked by the rain. She smiled to herself because she had won over the rain, which wa
After coming back from the hospital, Savannah went to her apartment. She changed her wet clothes into a dry new one and headed for Lucy's apartment. She knocked on the door when she got there and it was opened by Lucy. "Hi Savannah!" Lucy greeted with a smile."Good evening Lucy," Savannah greeted as Lucy opened the door for her to come in. Savannah slumped on Lucy's couch looking exhausted."What's up with you baby girl?" Lucy asked worriedly."It's my brother's doctor Lucy," Savannah replied and broke into fresh tears. Lucy walked over to her and patted her."It's alright Savannah," Lucy soothed. "You can tell me what the problem is," she added. Savannah looked up at her with tears in her eyes, she then told her what the doctor had said. Lucy listened carefully and sighed when Savannah finished telling her about her odeal with the doctor."I don't know what to do Lucy," Savannah cried. "It's alright girl,""Lucy please, lend me money and I promise to pay you back!" She pleaded, Lu
Savannah woke up the next morning to find herself sleeping on a bed with the man from last night. She frowned and stood up from the bed only to discover that she was naked. She was shocked and sharply turned to look at the man, he was also naked and Savannah quickly guessed what could have happened between them the previous night.She was heartbroken and broke down in tears, how could she have allowed a stranger take advantage of her. She stood up and picked up her clothes that were on the floor and wore it then went back to seat on the bed.The man's eyelashes fluttered slowly and his eyes opened, he turned to look at Savannah who was sniffing. He stood up from the bed and started wearing his clothes, he didn't spare Savannah a glance and she was furious. After wearing his clothes, he was about to walk out of the room but halted, he turned and came over to Savannah. "Here." He threw an envelope of a substantial amount on the table."What! You want to pay me off for that?" She said
Chapter four Savannah was devastated that all these happened to her. She cherished her brother so much as he was the only blood she had. Lucy was at home, waiting for Savannah, when she saw her looking dejected. “What is wrong? Did anything bad happen?” She asked, looking concerned. “Things aren’t really going my way.” She said as she broke into hot tears. “Oh, Savannah. I understand how you feel and I know I can't really offer much help, but I want you to stand strong, as things would get better for you, soon.” Lucy, encouraged, trying to lift her spirits up. “When is that soon? A year to the end of my life? Or when I have lost so many things and important people in my life.” Savannah said, sounding weak. “Oh come on, Savannah. Cheer up.” Lucy said as she wiped Savannah’s test . ~ Two weeks later, Savannah and Lucy were talking about a funny experience they had. Savannah was able to laugh and cheer up a bit, because she was able to pay a substantial amount out of her br
“What do you mean by what he is doing on TV? Do you know him?” Lucy asked, baffled at why she suddenly acted that way. “He is the one! He is the one who impregnated me.” Savannah pointed her hand at the TV. “Are you for real? That is Andy Norman. He owns a hotel and he is a billionaire. Oh my goodness! Luck finally shone on you, Savannah. This man is a fu**ing billionaire and he would be able to cater for all you need.” Lucy screamed in joy, but Savannah’s heart was filled with anger and could not reason the way Lucy was. “Enough! I am not going to that filthy man. So, he was a billionaire who had a hotel and he came to a pub! He is devil-sent. He was sent to destroy my life in the twinkle of an eye, and I would never forgive him.” Savannah screamed, with her face looking red. Then she stormed out of the room. ~ Lucy had been trying to convince Savannah to accept her suggestion and tell him about the pregnancy, but Savannah kept saying no to it. “Come on, Savannah. Weren’t you

Andy turned to chase after her but on a second thought he decided against it and it turned to his grandfather who was now pacing around the room as sweat dripped down his forehead, he knew that his grandfather must have known her from somewhere but in that case why all the drama."Grandfather, what just happened? How did you know Savannah?"He yelled at the old man even before he realized he was.He didn't receive a reply from his grandfather who was pacing around the room while ruffling his hair with his right hand and his left hand held his walking staff."Mr Douglas, can you tell me what the hell just happened here! Your silence is making me lose it completely!"He said with annoyance.He was surprised when he saw his grandfather take a bottle of champagne from the table in front of him and throw it against the wall as it let out a shattering sound."What in God's name do you want to hear?!"He blared while hitting his walking staff on the table."And for your information you aren't g
Andy was surprised to see Isobel in his office"Isobel,What in heaven's name brought you here?" He inquired from her with anger.With his peripheral vision he saw Harry and his secretary slowly walk out of his office and closed the door behind them making sure it didn't make a sound.He robbed his temple in annoyance as he stared at the lady standing in front of him."I came to check on you?"She replied while taking a seat in front of him."Isobel,to be frank, I hate this sudden obsession of yours. It's over between us, you ended it yourself, so why are you coming back all of a sudden.''He glared at her with anger in his tone."Baby, I know I wronged you but to be frank, I'm really sorry, please find it in your heart to forgive me,I meant it when I said I love you more than anything and I want us to start all over again."She said in one breath then stood up and smiled at him coquettishly."I know you still love me like you used to."She said in a sexy manner while walking towards him."I
Cherry who has been looking out from her window and saw when Andy left and is now coming inside with a gloomy face was a little stupefied. She knew that he must have met someone that changed his mood.So she decided to go and see for herself the person that made him look so angry. She went towards her wardrobe and took a long jacket and put it on and left.When she went outside, she looked around and saw a car parked not far away from the gate but she didn't see anyone around. "Well, well, well. Are you looking for me?" Isobel asked with a smirk on her face as she stood behind Cherry with her two hands placed on her hips. "Wow, it is a pleasant surprise to see you." Cherry said when she turned around and saw Isobel. "Yeah, I know. The pleasure is all mine. I see that you are still trying to replace me after all this time, well I am not surprised at all " Isobel said as she scrutinized Cherry from head to toe in a very rude manner. "You must be dreaming to think that you ever have a p
Cherry ran towards Andy when she saw him walk out of the dinning area.She knew that she might not have the time to talk to him that night if she didn't do something about it."Andy,can you give me an audience for a few minutes?"She asked in a pleading tone."What do you want to say?"He inquired from her as he turned to face her."Can we go for a walk in the garden? I will talk more freely there." She requested and he fixed his eyes on her for a while before he began to strode out towards his garden and she followed behind him."Andy,do you remember how we used to play together? Right here."She pointed at a spot in the garden but Andy didn't even act interested at all so she had to go straight to the point."Andy,my dad came today." She started as her eyes clouded with tears."I've been a terrible daughter and all I can do is to cry,I left him all alone in the house despite knowing how lonely he feels when I ain't there." She spoke with a quaking voice and after her last word she broke
Savannah was bewildered by the way Cherry's father shouted at her, though she fully supports him for shouting at her after all she deserves even more. How can someone return from an attack according to him and run to a friend's house no matter how she sees that friend of hers, she still could have stayed with her dad for a while at least "What kind of attack could she have survived?"Savannah mumbled to herself and at that instant she wanted to hear more of what Cherry's dad would say."I feel more comfortable here, you know that." She replied and rolled her eyes.She didn't expect what happened next, it took her by surprise because she didn't even know when he raised his hand but then the sudden burning of her cheek made her realize that her dad just slapped her."How dare you say that right to my face that you feel more comfortable in another person's house than your house? Cherry, what have I not sacrificed for you? When you asked me not to marry another wife,I did just that and no
Savannah kept staring at the person that owns the voice but couldn't pinpoint where she met him. Though his face was a little familiar, it was hard to recognize."Don't you remember me?" The man asked her with a scowl."Ahm…" Savannah opened her mouth to talk but nothing came out. She looked around and moved out of his body, she looked at him again and then remembered where she met him."Oh, you are one of our customers, right?" Savannah asked and he only gave her a nod. Savannah looked at him and remembered that he was the customer that she broke his drink but he paid for it and defended her. She felt like slapping herself really hard, how can she forget him. She looked at him and saw him still staring at her without making an attempt to go inside the restaurant."I am sorry for breaking your drink the previous day and thanks for everything." Savannah said with a smile and the man smiled back at her." No problem, why are you leaving so early?" The man inquired with a smile on his li
