The waitress stared at her expecting her to add something to her request but Betty didn't say anything else the waitress turned to leave but nix stopped her.
"Get her some chicken wings with that" and the waitress nodded and left."Why did you add that?""Because you're my girlfriend"Betty fell speechless."And you look hungry" She felt agitated and felt like punching him but she held herself and calmed down. Soon the waitress came back with the food and juice. She served them and left. Betty decided to get some drinks while nix took the wings she didn't say anything she just drank her juice while she was busy on her phone.Nix was already full yet Betty didn't say anything he felt disappointed.He wanted to say something but he saw her look up at him like she wanted to say something that she had been holding since.He smiled widely"I'm tired nix I want to go home" and his smile vanished. He thought maybe she was pretending bBetty slept off."Where have you been," Dilan asked.Nix didn't say anything but just headed to his room"Stay away from Betty" and Nix halted"Do you like her?" "Shut up"He smiled "She's all mine Dilan so stay away yours is on the way" and he left.Dilan understood what nix said. So his father went behind him to look for a wife. He sat down and made a call."Meet me right here right now" he ended the call as he lay back on the sofa with his eyes closed.Betty woke up pretty early to finish up her work for the day she made sure to keep herself busy to avoid nix finding out where she was. When she was done with the last thing she had to do that day she headed back home. It was already getting late, saw a man walk beside her."Hi pretty" she didn't reply"What's a pretty girl like you doing here?"She hastened her footsteps.He caught her hands."Come on pretty girl your still young you need someone to.
The atmosphere was as tense and silent as a graveyard. All eyes were on Dilan as his knuckles turned white, they were all waiting for his reply. They all couldn't blame his dad for forcing him to get married besides Mr. Noah was reaching his age limit and if he passed away with no one after Dilan his empire and all his efforts would be a waste. The Thor empire was the greatest among all companies and the most feared and respected, its enemies had always found a way to bring it down to the dust but Noah thor never gave them the chance ever since he handed it over to his son Dilan the company has soared to greater heights making the rest utterly angry and frustrated but this time they had hope. Knowing that Dilan never found interest in any woman they knew that once Noah Thor died and left Dilan all alone they had a chance to penetrate all they had to wait for now was for Noah's death. They had been attacking him severally through all many the last ones they attemp
Betty tried to relax as she packs her stuff to head back home early to avoid what had happened the previous time. She got home and took her bath and she was ready for bed but she couldn't sleep. She tried reaching him but his line wasn't going through. Now she felt as if something bad happened she tried his phone severally on the last call she was about to cut it off when someone it but she had cut it already. Her heart skipped a beat, she called the line and he picked she was somehow related.Before she could say anything she heard a male voice different from that of nix but he didn't allow her to say a word and he cut it. She was annoyed but she saw a text message on her phone that read"St George's Healthcare NHS trust" She got scared, she rushed out of bed and wore her dress and ran out of the house she boarded a taxi to the hospital. As she stepped in she dialed the number again she saw a tall figure approach her he didn't say a word to her he just gazed at he
Nix watched as Betty helped him up, she took care of him and fed him so gently. She had refused to leave him saying that she had nothing to do back home. She was like a worried mother hen. Nix felt butterflies in his stomach, it was a new feeling to him. He thought that she was just returning the favor he had shown her by saving her from the hands of that man, this somehow lessened his joy. He thought she had done it because she cared not to return it. As he was contemplating Dilan arrived. Immediately he stepped into the room he saw how frightened Betty was, he turned over to Dilan and glared at him showing his displeasure at his arrival"How are you doing now nix" "Am fine" he replied coldly Dilan looked up to the frightened Betty he watched her for a while, and nix felt somewhat annoyed that Dilan watched Betty like that for too long. Betty was so weak in the knees, that she felt like flying away from this man. She even wondered hand nix were related
Dilan headed home. He had gotten a call from his dad asking him to return he knew why his dad had called him. On a norm, he would have waved it off but he knew what had happened to his dad making him not take any chances.As he got into the library room, all eyes welcomed him. He sat as his father stood up to talk."How is nix" "He's fine" he replied.His father nodded seeming pleased"I know you already know why this meeting was called" Dilan didn't respond"I hope you have made your final choice Dilan""Yes I have" "But a contract marriage as I said earlier that's my final decision" his father almost blew up but sighed."No problem son""Who is the girl" His father laughed"Showing interest already?" Dilan frowned"No need to worry son everything is under control"Dilan was getting annoyed with this conversation."Any information on who might have planned out the accident""Not really son but we have two suspects" he re
Linax finally reached xor his house. Dilan stepped out and walked towards the underground base. The commandos guarding the place suddenly froze. They never expected to meet Young Thor. They were all weak in their knees as Dilan walked over to them. They could feel the ominous bloodlust coming from him, the atmosphere was strength-sapping. They all held their breaths. One of the guardians had gone to inform their master of what was happening.Dilan stopped."Where is xor is!" he asked heartlesslyThey were all at loss for words their heartbeat beating unrhythmically. They all prayed that their boss should show up before this young master began a blood bath. Dilan was impatient he seized one of them by the neck choking him of air. He slammed him on the floor so hard he turned to them other grabbing him by the collar."where...." he paused and turned to xor is who had just shown up."Young Dilan Thor," he said smiling"What an honor to meet you" he added. H
For the first time, lily felt shivers. She was confused about what to do. He dragged her by the side and pushed her down holding her hands tightly. He brought her face closer to kiss her but she retracted struggling to get out of his grip. She bit his lip as she ran away from him. He Chased after her trying to nurse his bleeding lip. Lily got to a crossroad she took the left and saw a car pass by she crossed and got hit and fell unconscious. Charles saw a man get out of the car and he went back. Linax stepped out he carried lily in and drove her to a nearby hospital for fear of losing her. She got admitted immediately. He breathed a sigh of relief. He watched her closely and turned to leave. He got home and met Dilan waiting for him. They both looked at each other as if talking to themselves telepathically. "How's he?""doing well" He stepped into the car and they drove off. "Have you found out who she is?""No" Dilan replied."Don't you want to
The conference was held on the third floor. The room was freezing as Mr. Jar proposed his idea to Dilan, who sat there listening to all he was saying."That's all we need Mr. Thor" "Not accepted" he replied coldly. Linax stared at him. "Uhm...Mr. Thor...""5% or Nothing" he answered heartlesslyThey all glanced at each other. Mr jar in gritted his teeth. "Am sorry but we can't approve of that Mr. Thor" Dilan stood up to leave. Mr jar in's assistant went over to him."I think we better agree sir you know how great this company is if we could be able to get 5% from him now we would find more hope of having great gains in the future"He made sense,"But why will he disapprove of their idea when he knew that they too needed him," he thought"Mr. Thor!" Dilan turned"We accept" Dilan nodded and left the room. Jar in' jaws clenched"He didn't even seem thankful" and he left. Dilan's colleagues breathed a sigh of relief
Noah, Sajan, and Niah hugged Betty tight she felt she was going to run out of breath."Please don't kill my fiancee before our wedding" Phoenix commented. The kids and their father, Cosmo chuckled. Cosmo walked over to where Nix stood."I'm sure the kids would miss you much too especially Sajan"Nix gave a light smile."I will too""I'm sorry for what Sasha might have put you and Betty through with her vain quest"Nix just stared at him and nodded. Cosmo gave him a light pat and then walked back to the children. "Don't forget to call me if you need help with anything" Betty said."Would you fly over just because of them?" Cosmo asked."Yes" she answered with all seriousness "I still take them as mine though not biologically"Betty hugged the trio once more and then cosmo before leaving them to catch their flight. "Now back to the main business," Nix said.Betty wanted to know why her father helped Sasha forge the results."Or didn't he want her to be with Nix?" She thought aloud
Ring ring...Her phone kept buzzing but she refused to pick up. Why would Dilan be calling her so early in the morning? Though a part of her wanted to answer the call and find out why another part of her seemed to have gotten the best part of her reasoning. She watched her phone buzz repeatedly till he decided to stop calling. She breathed a heavy sigh of relief. Then a knock on her door. She felt tormented. What was all this? At first she concluded she would just stay and wait till the person left but the next thing she heard made her heart jump from her mouth. The person had broken her door down and began to look through the house. She peered from above but only caught his silhouette. She ran inside her room immediately and made to lock the door when she felt a strong hand push the door open. She fell on the floor due that action. "Charles?" She muttered."Why are you...?""Lily is missing" he answered back cutting her off. In seconds he explained everything to her. Each sentence
"Congratulations ma'am" the nurse excitedly congratulated her, her face beaming with smiles. She turned to Steve who was still starting ever lovingly at Silvia. "Please make sure she gets enough rest" the nurse repeated but this time emphasizing strictly to Steve.He nodded in affirmation promising to do so. Silvia ed is oblivious to what was happening within her. Steve held her hands and kissed her on her forehead. "Don't be scared babe I'm here for you " he told her. Silvia didn't know what to do at this moment, she was in utter confusion. This could be the end of her life and career. It would have been better if only she knew about it but then Steve found out. How on earth was she going to tell this man standing before her that she wanted to abort the baby? Not that she couldn't but he'll try to find out why.What was more terrible was knowing that she was going to be in trouble when Dilan or any member of his family gets to hear this. Speaking of Dilan..her phone rang...It w
Silvia glared at the piece of paper in their hand, she crumpled it and threw it into the bin. She got into her car and drove home, she began to ponder"a month pregnant?!!!" she yelled."I can't be. This can't be possible. She parked the car by the side of the road and began to do some "calculations""But we were protected and I never skipped my morning pills" She thought so hard her forehead began to hurt. A memory flashed into her brain, she remembered the time she had stayed indoors with Steve all through. She was too lost in the moment she forgot herself. She yelled and screamed and finally sobbed. This was a bad turn for her, she knew she could not even blame it on Dilan who not for once even gave her a handshake. "Steve!!!" She drove to her house in annoyance. She threw her purse on the couch and began to think of a solution"If I tell him....he might want us to get married" she concluded. With the way steve professed his love for her over and over again she knew that telling
Cosmo walked up to Betty and knelt to face Sajan "Am your father" The man told the boy. The boy blinked repeatedly and looked at Nix."Come" Cosmo put his hand forward to take the boy. Nix dragged the boy to himself. Nix fell short of words too even though it had been his wish for all of this to vanish into thin air or for someone to just pop out of nowhere and claim Sajan. But he didn't think he might feel the way he felt now. He had gotten used to having Sajan as his son a part of him felt excited about having him."What do you mean?" Betty asked Cosmo. He smiles embarrassingly but answered her question truthfully, not wanting her to doubt him. "It's a long story" She cocked her head to the side in wonder. "Let's go home then" Betty suggested. Sasha got into Cosmo's car while Nix, Betty, Sajan, and the twins got into the car leading the way for Cosmo. Nix called Noah Thor who advised him to drive to his house including that he would call Doctor Darrel. The car came to a hal
Arriving at the dining hall, the couple and the trio were given a private room. The elevated radiant ceilings and the orthodox scenery embellished an astonishing ambiance. The interior area appeared friendly and alluring with the flowers on each table and relieving piano music that float in the restaurant. The decibels weren't very high, the soundness was quiet and superficial. Nix discovered that Betty had been silent since they entered."You order I'll be in the bathroom," Betty said with a smile. He nodded and sat down with the children all cornered around him. Betty went into the washroom, she wiped the tears that were about to fall, making sure that she was alright she went back to her date. Phoenix had set up a kind of "family reunion" but it was more like a reunion between him and Betty.Betty sat on her seat which was directly opposite nix, giving him the perfect opportunity to stare at her as long as he wanted. They were served lobster balls and tofu "Simple?" Betty asked"
...Betty found it hard to sleep all through the night. She kept on reminiscing about the events that occurred between her and nix. The surprise kisses ran chills through her spine anytime she thought of it.Matt was right she missed nix but more now she thought of him. After a long thought, she stood up to go and meet Alicia but she paused in her tracks when she thought she might interrupt something.Just then she heard a knock."Wanna talk?" Alicia asked.Betty smiled to herself."Nix you have four days left to bring my son back to me" Sasha texted nix.Nix laughed at seeing the message."Any problem dad?" Sajan asked as he joined Nix on the couch."Your mom misses you"Sajan frowned"Why?""You don't hate her do you?""A little""she's still your mom and you shouldn't feel that way toward her" Nix explained to Sajan.Sajan was about to reply when they got interrupted by a knock on the door followed by the swinging open of the door."Matt?""Phoenix... it been long," Matt said giving
"Betty, why did you even attempt that?" Ashely patted Betty on the back while she sobbed heavily."No matter where I go I'll still feel the same way about him....I'll still love him and i"ll still want to be with him. I can still feel him he's like everywhere. But I can't forget what he did. He lied to me he deceived me" she cried."But he loves you that am sure of" Betty didn't say a word after...after a few minutes she fell into a deep slumber."Phoenix?" Matt asked as he sat beside Alicia.Alicia nodded."So how long is she going to stay here?" "As long as she wants" Alica replied curtly "Why the attitude?" Matt asked with a smile"Why the smile?" she asked back"Get serious Alicia....stop fooling around and help your friend""Matt" Alicia screamed his name and rushed towards him. She blew a punch on his stomach and he "groaned" in pain and began to laugh."That hurts babe," he said hugging Alicia tightly "Leave me you twitch""No" Matt disagreed and kissed her."Your lips tast
Nix and the kids had left that early morning leaving Betty alone in the house. She decided to take a walk before she finally left to "find herself".She just couldn't stop thinking of the happenings of yesterday, especially the surprise kisses she had gotten from Nix. Her lips itched to get more but she was relieved her senses were still in control and had stopped her from what might have led to another thing and now she had her chance to run away from him she wouldn't let it go.She decided to take a cab to anywhere her heart finds solace."Going where ma'am" "Just taking a drive""Okay to where ma'am?""Don't worry I'll take a cab""No ma'am just let me" the driver pleaded.Betty didn't want to argue so she agreedThey drove far away from their hometown, she didn't want to see or hear anyone she knew. She was already aware of the "I love you's, why did do that" coming from her friend Alicia and Nix. But she neither hear any of it. Driving down to the beach several miles away. She s
