Lorenzo was lying on the bed, my head was on his bare chest as my hand caressed his toned abs. "Sweetheart." He said.

"I'm here. What's wrong?" I asked, raising my head, I locked eyes with him, waiting for a response.

He entangled his fingers around my hair, rubbing it back and forth against my curled locks. "Something seems off for some reason," he said.

"Why do you say so?" I asked.

"It's regarding Atkins. I mean the supposed days he gave to hear from me have run out but still no word from him. That's unlike my brother. Why hasn't he retaliated? I'm anxious. It's been apparently three days since he told me to abdicate my position in the company... So why is he so calm?" He asked.

I understood his concerns. "It's nothing to worry about. If you ask me, I'd say it means that everything is under control. Perhaps, he'd finally come to understand that fighting his own blood over some company rights wasn't worth the hassle and had given up. Isn't that good news if you ask me?" I sai

    Atkins was very excited that he'd almost accomplished his goal of having the company and so he decided to give his brother a call to rub it in."Hello," Lorenzo said."What's up, junior brother.""It's you? Never call this line ever again 'cause I've got nothing to say to you apart from I will not abdicate my position. So, fuck off brother."Atkins burst into cheer laughter."You think you've won. You should have heeded my warning but unfortunately... you chose to disobey me. In time, the company will be mine and your beloved Sophie will be right beside me as I take it.""You are nothing but a loser and a daydreamer and I'll tell you the reality now, you will neither have my company nor my wife. You can never...,""Shhh. Don't kid yourself, baby brother. Sophie has loved me since before she met you. And she still has feelings for me. You are just too clumsy to notice.""You need to consult a psychiatrist first, without that I won't believe a word you say," Lorenzo said."You'll see fo

    Sophie wiped off the tears in my eyes but they just kept falling. "I'm sorry Lorenzo. Please don't do this." I whimpered.I hauled myself up from the floor and wobbly walked to the door. I knew there was no need to knock cause I wouldn't get a response as I slowly twisted the doorknob and entered. I saw him gazing out through the crystal-clear glass window. Lorenzo knew he was not alone as he felt her presence behind him. He was still trying to subside the burning anger and deceit he was passing through. He couldn't understand why she'd do such a thing to him. Why she'd been lying to him just to see his brother? But what he was very sure of was that.. he couldn't stay to listen to her excuses."Enzo, please believe me, I'd never betray you for another man. I love...," Lorenzo cut her off."Enough!! Enough of your lies Sophie! I can't believe I opened up my heart for you. I can't believe I trusted you just enough for you to stab me in the back with my own brother. How could you hide s

    Lorenzo reached the company. He came out of his car and entered the building. He ignored all the workers who bowed and greeted him as he walked straight to the elevator. On reaching his floor, he saw his secretary running towards him. "Good morning, sir. They're already waiting in the hall." She said softly. Lorenzo nodded and handed her his briefcase. He turned and twisted the doorknob, he exhaled before walking inside.He saw the three of them and was surprised to see his father too. He bowed to them and shook hands with his father. "Son. Have you been drinking? You're hurt." Webster asked, staring at his knuckles.Lorenzo yanked his hand away. "It will heal." He said and took his special seat. He could read the visible anger in their faces and knew the reason behind it. He stood up instantly."Good morning everyone. I'm really sorry for coming against the agreed time. Something came up but... Please, let's proceed." He said and sat down.Thurlow stood up and gazed at Webster. "Mr.

    Lorenzo was on his way back home when he got a phone call from Lincoln. He picked it."Hello, my man." He said."Hi, cobber. I dropped by your house but you weren't around. I was worried about yesterday." Lincoln said."Yeah, I heard. It's working hours so I went to work. I'm on my way back now. A lot has happened but I think I'm fine now." Lorenzo said, recalling what he'd just done as a smile crept up his face."I'm with Rohan at our usual hangout. Can you meet up with us? It's been a while." He asked."That's okay. I will do a reverse. I will be right there in no time." Lorenzo said and ended the call. "You heard me talking... right? Do a U-turn here." He said to the driver. The man nodded and did as he was instructed. Lorenzo gazed out through the side mirror. Lorenzo dialled his secretary's number and brought it to his ear."Hello, Ellison.""Hi, sir. Is there anything I can help you with?" she asked nervously through the phone since she saw the mood he was in when he left the

    ...Lorenzo was the first person to arrive. He came a few minutes before the agreed time. He waited patiently for them on his seat and drew minutes later, the door opened and Deucalion came in.Lorenzo stood up and greeted him before sitting again. Deucalion went to his seat and sat down. "What's this? They've not yet arrived for the meeting?" He asked."Wait a little more, Senator. They'll be here soon." He said. Shortly, Webster entered the hall. He shook hands with the Deucalion before patting his son's shoulder."Welcome, Father," Lorenzo said softly.The door opened and Fraghanan and Thurlow came in. Their eyes went round the hall before falling on Lorenzo. They mumbled to themselves before sitting down. Lorenzo stood up and smoothed down his suit. "Thanks for coming. I have an important announcement to make." He exhaled, continuing. "The progress of this firm is all I've always wanted and because of that, I've come up with the conclusion that l would never hand it over the

    ...Deucalion and his two bodyguards entered the elevator and pressed the third floor. After minutes, the elevator halted and he came out. He walked to her office and entered, while his guards kept watch. Ellison was surprised to see him at her office as she stood on her heels instantly. She bowed her head in respect. "Good day, sir. Are you here for my boss? Give me a second, let me go and notify him." She said and wanted to walk away."No. I'm here for you." He said.Ellison stopped and turned to him in confusion. "Is there anything I can help you with?" she asked.Deucalion took a step closer to her. "Yes, there is. I have known you for such a long time to know how you got to this level. I'm looking for footage from years ago. Is it in your custody?" He asked.Ellison lowered her head, still perplexed with her situation. She swallowed hard before getting herself to speak. "I don't know what you're talking about sir. I've seen no footage," she said.Deucalion scoffed. "I hate lie

    ...Ellabelle had just finished bathing Miguel and was putting on his clothes. Miguel had been asking about her mother since he woke up and she'd tried to convince him, she was on her way. She knew her ma'am went out earlier to see her husband but she couldn't tell him. "Miguel, don't worry. I'm sure your mother and father are on their way with your Chocolate candy. If you remain a good boy and don't cry you'll lick the Candy... Okay?"Miguel chuckled and gave her a nod.Just then, she started hearing noises from outside and let go of Miguel. She went to the window to check it out. She saw many men with covered noses as they barged inside the gate. As the guards tried to fight them, they threw the dangerous lachrymator on the ground. Ellabelle saw when all the guards fell on their knees, gasping for air. She was shocked and suddenly crippled at the scene. She turned and ran to Miguel immediately. "Let's go, Miguel." She ran to the room and locked herself. The men barged inside and

    "No. Nooo!!!" Lorenzo roared. "Don't leave me. Please." He growled as hot tears blurred his vision, sliding down his cheek. Atkins burst into sheer laughter at seeing him wailing in anguish. "I love that brother. What a sight?" He mocked. "I never knew I'd see this day. The day I'd see you squealing in pain." Atkins was still reliving the moment when the cops graced them with their presence, immediately surrounding them. Atkins was caught in the act, his gun still in his hand. He wanted to make a run for it but it was too late. One of the officers seized the gun from him, encircling the handcuff around him.Lorenzo growled and roared as tears slipped past his lashes, trailing down his suit. He placed Lincoln's head on the concrete ground and raced towards his good-for-nothing brother, curling his fists to a ball to beat him black and blue but the detectives wouldn't let him. He fought his way through and eventually got his hands on Atkins, lifting him up his collar. Lorenzo's heart

    A FEW MONTHS LATER.Mum had been so excited with both finding out about the marriage and my pregnancy that she'd actually boarded a flight to Holland. She'd been with me ever since, helping out in every possible way she could, for this day.My girlfriend called earlier and informed me she was already on her way. I can only say she booked a morning flight. I just hope she gets here before the wedding starts.I sat down on the chair while Ellabelle did the dressing. "Now, the finishing touches. A little makeup since you're already gorgeous, ma'am." She said.I smiled as she opened the kit and brought out the cosmetics. She applied it to my face before pinning the birdcage veil on my hair. "We're done." She said and pulled me up. "Thanks." I gazed at myself through the large mirror and I loved how I looked. My hair was in multiple bubble braids. The silver earrings, heart pendant and bracelet were sparkling and the makeup added to the beauty. I stared down my bridal silk gown, designed

    Second to last Episode....After everything Rohan left with Daphne. Lorenzo took me to his parked car and we hopped in. The driver honked the horn and sped off instantly. We reached home after an hour as I climbed out of the car, we linked arms and side to side we walked in.As soon as Miguel saw us, he left Ellabelle and ran to me, embracing me. "Mama.""My baby boy. I'm back now, Okay," I said, lifting him up and into my arms."Welcome ma'am, Sophie. The food is ready. Should I bring it over to your room or you'd like to have it here?" She asked.I smiled, still feeling euphoric from officially being proposed to. "You don't have to. We've already eaten at the restaurant. Thanks for looking after Miguel." I rather said."It's nothing, ma'am. It's part of my job." She said.Lorenzo kissed my cheeks. "I'll be in our room. I need to have a shower." He said and left.I gently sat down on the chair, dropped Miguel on my lap and grabbed the remote control, turning on the television. I f

    ...Thankfully he arrived at the restaurant before her, taking a seat at the reserved joint. After a few minutes, a sophisticated, elegant, classic-looking lady approached him. Although her eyes were covered with sunglasses he needed no one to tell him who it was. He offered her a seat and sat down next to her. Mally thanked him, crossing her legs as she yanked off the glasses, shoving them into her purse."So, What's this about?" She asked."Thanks for coming. How have you been, Mally?" He knew he had to ask. He'd felt bad after watching the news about her father's death.Mally huffed, shaking her head at the irony of the question. "You mean after you dumped me? Why? Would you have been happy if I turned out dead?!" She snapped, rolling her eyes as he said nothing. "Well, it's too bad since I'm still breathing. Is that the kind of response you expected? Of course, I'm not alright. It feels like my world has been turned upside down. But you don't have to worry. It absolutely has no

    ...Lorenzo had been quiet all the way back home. He horned the car and the gatekeeper opened the gate for him. He drove in and parked, climbing down, he walked inside as I raced after him, trying to keep up with his pace. I grabbed his arm in the hallway, turning him to look at my face."Are you mad at me, Enzo?" I asked.He removed my hand and wanted to leave but I held on, encircling my arms around his stomach waist and placing my head against his back. The abrupt act got him to stop."I'm sorry. Please don't get mad at me." I said softly.He slowly removed my hand and turned me to face him. "You disobeyed me, Sophie. Infront of everyone. We should have deliberated on this as a couple before you go spilling everything all on your own. You broke the contract rules and deserve discipline for doing so."I opened my mouth to talk but couldn't form any coherent words. He was right. I took the decision upon myself however, I was only trying to set things straight. "I-l apologize, Enzo

    ..."I shouldn't have concealed the truth from the world. I can't excuse myself for being an accomplice. We were in on it, together. I'm sorry." He repeated as if saying the mantra would bring back my deceased brother."It's hard and a lot for me to take in sir but I... l understand. You loved your son enough to forsake my father. I will try to forgive and forget that fact." I said, my voice hoarse from crying."Thank you. I truly appreciate it. I never knew you were Malton's daughter. He was a good man and my friend at heart. Do not despise him. Whatever wrong he does is not his fault. It's ours since we made him that way." Webster said, continuing."We killed your brother, scarred your father but here you are, married to my son and taking care of him. I deserve to die." He said lastly in pain. Where was I going to start? They've trusted and believed I was married to their son for a year now. I think it's time to reveal the truth. "Mum, Dad, Daphne. I have something to say. You ca

    The secret behind the killing....Malton was agitated to see him give in so easily and angrily cocked the gun barrel to finish him off. He stopped abruptly as he heard a scream."Noo, Father. Please don't!!" I shouted.Malton's attention was thwarted as he turned to know who had that voice. Although the face wasn't familiar, he was strangely drawn to the woman. Lorenzo ran inside and stopped at the horrible sight. His father was just a step away from being sent to the afterlife. "It's me, father. I'm Sophie... Your daughter."Malton's eyes widened as he abruptly stepped back. He was suddenly having mixed emotions. His feelings were all over the place as he couldn't believe nor comprehend what was happening. "It can't be. The last time I spoke with Laura she informed me our daughter was sixteen, not this grown adult. And she stays with her mother in New York City." He said, disapprovingly."Father. Please listen to me. I'm Sophie Winterfield, your only daughter. I know you went th

    ..NEW YORK.Morning.I yawned and opened my eyes. I climbed out of bed and removed my nightie as I went to the bathroom. I turned on the shower as the water cascaded down my body. I turned it off when I was done and reentered the room. I heard my boy's voice calling to me. "Mama!""Miguel, Mummy's coming. Let me put on my clothes... Okay?" I said and went to my closet.I yanked out the blue gown and wore it instantly. I packed my hair into a tight bun and went to his cot. I lowered down and carried him in my arms. He was already a year old to be lying around in a crib although in my eyes he'd always remain a baby. One I watched grow. Just then, a knock came in. My mother walked in."Good morning, Mum." She smiled. "Come down, breakfast is served.""Okay. I'll be right there." She nodded before leaving.I dropped my son on his feet and held his tiny hands as we walked out the door. I climbed down the stairs and stopped at the dining table.I saw the food and drinks had already been

    9:35 Pm.Night.So, that was how it happened. It was probably the reason why he couldn't find Malton. So those three had been friends with Sophie's father all along, then how could they betray him? He thought. Sighing, he raked his fingers through his hair. He wouldn't allow anything to befall his Dad. He will protect him. It was never Webster's fault. He battled with his mind, thinking hard about whether to tell his wife what he'd just found out. In the end, he decided it was best not to.His driver parked the car and opened the door for him. He came down and walked inside his house. He went to his room and dropped the briefcase before removing his clothes. He entered the bathroom and had a warm bath, to clear his lousy thoughts. When he went to select his robe, a knock came in. He waited till he was done. "Come in."The door opened and she stepped in. "Sir, your dinner's served." Lorenzo gazed at her and pointed at the table. "Drop it there." She did as she was told with her head

    "You don't have to apologize. It's my fault. I should have told you sooner." She said in tears, wiping her eyes as she pulled me into a hug. "Don't cry anymore, my child. I can't afford to see you in tears." She eased back, wiping my teary face."Thanks, Mum. Thanks for telling me the truth.""Are you hungry? I made lunch." She said softly.I shook my head. "I'm good. I only need some rest." I said as my eyes went round my room. I saw Miguel's cot at the extreme and knew he had already gone off to sleep. My gaze fell on the present underneath the table."What's that, Mum?" I asked, curiously."This? Your stepdad was so happy when he got promoted and decided to buy you a present. Damon believed you'd surely come back for it. And you did. I've been praying for your arrival ever since." She went and brought it out, handing it over to me. "I hope you will like it."I grabbed the package, ripping it entirely off. I gasped excitedly as I saw the purple designer handbag and a sparkling brace
