His breathing became erratic, while his throat became dry. His eyes were heavy for all the days he had failed to get some sleep. He was scared of what he was going to find once he opened his eyes. He bet everything on the stupid test, and he began realizing that he had a lot to lose if he was going to find one line. One month away from Nera meant the end of their marriage. He couldn't see how they would come back from that.However, he was a man of risks; his entire success was based on taking risks. Most of the risks questioned his mental status but they always paid off. He swallowed hard, reminding himself of those risks as he slowly opened his eyes to meet two thick lines staring at him.His legs became heavy as he slumped to the floor, fixed on the lines. He closed his eyes again and opened them. To his shock, the lines were still there. He rubbed his eyes, thinking he was making himself see what was not there. He opened them again, but the test was still positive. She was preg
With everything sorted, Marcus walked back to Nera's room, certain that all loose ends were covered. The boy was paid in full even though the contract stated the other million would be paid after Nera gave birth, but he decided to settle everything once and for all and hoped for him and his wife to have their happy ending.He walked back to Nera's room with the intention of taking her back home, but when he opened the door, he found the doctor he bribed to lie to Nera about his impotence talking and laughing with Nera."Marcus, do you remember Doctor Smith?" Nera asked in excitement.Marcus froze at the door as his muscles stiffened. He could hear his own heart trying to burst out of his chest."I was just telling her about the African herb that brought about the little miracle inside of me," she laughed out.The doctor stared at Marcus; from his posture and unwelcoming glares, she could tell something was wrong. She did not need her medical degree to know that no herb in the world wo
Frank sat on the floor for hours; he had no idea how many hours had passed, but his shirt got soaked with his tears. He leaned against the bed, still in disbelief.He logged into the account that was set up in his name as a trust fund, and true to the old man's word, the money was there. Only the amount for the surgery was subtracted. He now had over $1 million to his name and had no idea what to do with the money.He never planned or thought about what he would do with the rest of the money after the surgery deduction. His main goal was to get the kidneys for his baby brother.He quickly got up, realizing he needed to be there when his brother woke up. He now had money and could afford a plane ticket not just to Alabama but anywhere in the world.He quickly took a bath and ran to the bank to withdraw some of his money. It was his money, and he did not care how he got it; what mattered was how he was going to use it. Once done, he headed to the airport and booked himself a first-clas
Nera quickly ran to her husband's aid, worried. "Oh my God, Marcus, are you okay?"Marcus pushed her off as he kept puking his guts out. He vividly remembered ordering her not to tell anyone about their pregnancy, but she clearly went against him because uncle Luke was not the type to pop up at the mansion unless she called him."Honey, are you okay?" Nera asked keeping her distance.Marcus finally looked up, to the table where Uncle Luke was eating like there was not a person vomiting some meters away."Get out of my house!" Marcus yelled. He did not care if the man was his in-law."Marcus!" Nera yelled in shock."No, for three years I have tolerated his nonsense because I always thought he would one day come to his senses!" Marcus yelled.Uncle Luke, realizing the man was serious, got up and raised his hands as if surrendering."Nera, it's fine, I was just passing by to check on you," he assured her and walked to where she was standing, giving her a kiss on the cheek."Can I take th
Three weeks passed and Angel was able to finally open his eyes and began talking. He had a long way to go but everyone was just glad that there was no rejection of the transplanted organ.Frank was already making travel arrangements and planned to take the family out of the country the second Angel was discharged.Ireen left everything to him as long as he took them somewhere she could continue her farming business so Frank chose England. It was the perfect country for their new start, with good areas for farming, no language barrier, and most importantly the best place for him to go back to university.He was already looking for a university place and looking into which companies to invest in. After a full month, Angel was finally released and allowed to be taken home. They only stayed for a week and Frank took everyone to the airport.Ireen was a bit hesitant with their traveling especially since Angel had surgery a month ago. She felt it was too soon, but Frank was a man on a miss
Nicole glanced in her mother-in-law's direction in disbelief. The most that anyone had donated to their charity organization was $50,000, and that was a foreigner worth billions.It looked like the rumors of Nera being mistreated by the old man were wrong and were looked after while bathing in wealth.The woman was filthy rich. Of the two she looked like she hit the jackpot while she herself was her mother in law's bag girl that was supposed to follow the old woman everywhere even to stupid fundraising dinners. The mayor's wife stood up with a loud cheer, urging everyone to give applause to Mrs. Rashwell. Nera bowed and took a seat, her eyes fixed on the daughter and mother-in-law, whose faces were about to burst with anger."Bullseye!" she whispered to herself.Her juice arrived, and she thanked the waiter before turning away from the two fools."Back to the agenda, today we are holding elections for the Vice President and Treasure," Patricia announced, sending the audience into a
Nera drove back to the mansion with a smirk of satisfaction on her face. Seeing the two women leave the fundraising dinner at the mention of her name as the winner was a moment she was going to treasure for the rest of her life.The two idiots were always spreading gossip and commenting on everything that had to do with her. The fools never moved on, even when she had lived an isolated life. They had been calling on her for so many years that she decided to finally respond. What was satisfying was that she responded when they least expected it.She walked into the house, hymning, and found Marcus having his dinner. She walked up to him and gave him a kiss."Someone seems to be in a happy mood," he joked."I need fifty thousand dollars," she requested.Marcus looked up at her a little bit confused, she was not the type to ask for money, and the last time he tried setting up her own account, she refused."And I need a piece of land for our charity organization," she added.Marcus pause
Nera woke up to a beautiful sunny morning; she had overslept, and Marcus allowed her to sleep because they slept late. Marcus spent the whole night teaching her the basics of running a charity and the dos and don'ts, even though he did not like the idea of her entangling herself with her former in-laws.He had woken up early and left for the office, leaving his wife to have as much rest as she needed.Nera stretched her legs and arms, ready for the new day and the new role that she had to fill. Thanks to Marcus, she had gotten an insight into what her job involved, and she loved it.She got out of bed, singing her new favorite hymn. She had a lot to do for the day. First, she was going to the bank to approve the money she had pledged, and then she was going with the driver to the west coast to check on the land.She did not want her pledges to be words from her mouth or hearsay, but she wanted to be a woman of action who did more of the actions than talking.She prepared herself and r
