"We have no idea, she's still in the emergency room," Anthony said, his voice laced with worry. He could sense Eric's frustration over the phone, but he knew they had to focus on August's condition right now."Why didn't any of you inform us?" Eric asked, his annoyance palpable even through the phone."Sorry, bro, everyone was in a hurry," Anthony explained, pinching his brows. He knew Eric was upset, but he hoped he could understand the chaos they were dealing with right now."I understand, we'll be there shortly," Eric said before disconnecting the call. Anthony wondered how Eric and the others would be feeling right now, but his thoughts were interrupted by the emergency room doors opening.The doctor emerged, and the group quickly gathered around him, eager for news. Kent stared at the doctor and waited for information, while Rosa and Rhea clung to each other, their faces etched with worry."She's lost a lot of blood, and there's a shortage of blood in the hospital," the doctor sa
After leaving the hospital room, the group splits up. Rosa, Rhea, Christy, and the men headed home to rest and prepare some porridge for Kent and August, hoping they would wake up soon. The other ladies, meanwhile, went to the August apartment to rest and await any updates concerning their friends' condition. They knew the guys had a pressing matter to attend to, so they didn’t bother them.Meanwhile, the guys drive to the basement, they want to deal with the culprit themselves.When they got there, they were surrounded by rows of bodyguards who greeted them, but this wasn't a time for formalities. Jack led them to a dimly lit room, opening the door and gesturing for them to enter.As they stepped inside, they were met with the sound of groaning and pain. The culprits were already being interrogated and tortured by John. The guys smirked and chuckled evilly, pleased to see that John had gotten into action."Welcome, bosses," John said with a grin immediately he sensed their prese
After leaving the basement, they decided to head to the apartment to meet the girls. Fred pulled out his phone to call Anita for the address. "Let me call Anita to get the home address," he said, scrolling through his contacts.But before he could dial the number, Kevin spoke up, looking sheepish. "Uhmm... no need," he said.The others stared at him, exchanging knowing glances. Kevin scratched his head, "I was actually with Jenny when Jack called me about the accident," he admitted, his face flushing slightly.Anthony's eyes widened in surprise. "Woah, man, when did this happen?" he asked, his voice filled with curiosity.Kevin thought for a moment before responding. "It hasn't been long. We were... talking, and then Jack called, and... yeah."Fred quickly asked the question on everyone's mind. "So, have you two settled your differences?"Kevin smiled,and was happy to share the good news. "Although she hasn't completely forgiven me, I think we're cool."Fred beamed with happiness an
After a few minutes, they all settled around the dining table, eager to taste Lisa's culinary creation since she has been disturbing their nose for a while. As they took their first bites, a collective moan filled the room."This is so good!" Fred exclaimed and chewed his food."Anthony won't get to starve," Eric added, making Anthony almost choke on his food. He stared at Lisa's flushed face and smiled, amused.Meanwhile, Jenny was devouring her food.“Baby hamster, please calm down”. Lisa said to Jenny, making her blush in embarrassment.The group continued savoring their meal. When they finished, they checked the time and realized it was getting late."We should head out," Anita said. "We can visit our friends at the hospital tomorrow morning." She continued and told them.Kevin and Anthony were reluctant to part ways with the girls, but they knew they had to leave. They said their goodbyes, and thanked Lisa for the delicious meal.As they walked out, Anthony turned to Kevin and
After discussing finishing their coffee, Frank and Luke returned to the private room where the ladies were waiting. "Are we leaving now?" Luke asked his wife, Rhea, who was standing and chatting with Rosa.Rhea nodded her head, and Rosa added, "Let's give the couple some space. They need time to recover.""Okay then," Luke replied,before turning to Kent and said coldly. "Make sure to take care of her properly. If not, you're dead."Kent was taken aback by his father's seriousness, so he stared at his mother for help, but she ignored him.After ignoring him, she quickly chimed in and said, "Your father is right, Kent. If I see she's not properly taken care of, I won't hesitate to shoot you myself."Kent's eyes widened in shock. "Mom, come on! Am I still your son?" He asked.Rhea shrugged her shoulders and said mercilessly. "Of course, darling, but I won't hesitate to disown you if you misbehave. You need to take proper care of her."Luke immediately added, "We can even adopt August a
After spending some quality time talking to his wife, Kent decided it was time to freshen up. He glanced down at the suit he was wearing, and let out a deep sigh, the weakness he was feeling was evident on his body.Knowing his bodyguards were stationed outside the private ward, he opened the door."Good day, boss," chimed in unison, bowing their heads to greet.theyKent nodded his head curtly and said, "Get me some comfortable clothes to change into," he instructed, handing his card to one of the bodyguards, who accepted it with a nod and a respectful smile."Okay, sir," the bodyguard replied, turning to hurry off. "I'll be right back with something suitable.""Be quick about it," Kent added, his tone firm. With that, he closed the door.Meanwhile, the bodyguard rushed out to a nearby boutique. He knew his boss would be better with a loose outfit, so he quickly selected a nice pair of pants and blouse for him.Kent walked to the bathroom and brought out a plush bathrobe, he then re
The next day, Kent woke up to the sound of the door opening, and the doctor's gentle voice filled the room. "Good morning, Mr. and Mrs. Ken." He said, but his eyes widened in surprise as he stared at Kent who was sleeping close to his wife, with his arms wrapped protectively around her.Despite his fear of Kent's, the doctor couldn't help but reprimand him. "Your wife needs rest, Mr. Kent. What if you accidentally injure her?" He said and gestured to the nurse, who placed the tray of injections on the table.Kent stood up from the bed, and scratched his head. He knew the doctor was right, and he didn't want to look overbearing, so he stepped aside . August, who was still sleepy, opened her eyes and looked at the doctor. Her voice was hoarse from sleeping, so she pursed her lips and said . "Doctor, no need to reprimand him. I was missing my husband's cuddles, that's why I requested it."Kent grinned at his wife's words.Meanwhile ,The nurse giggled at August's childish tone. She h
Kent stood up and took the food before sitting on the bed with August. He opened the bag and brought out his breakfast, which consisted of freshly baked muffins, fluffy scrambled eggs, and a glass of freshly squeezed juice. The aroma wafted up, making August's stomach growl with hunger.When August saw the food, she grinned and stretched out her hands to take the meal from Kent, but he laughed and said, "Babe, this is not yours, but mine." He teased her, holding the food just out of her reach.August pouted her lips when she heard that. "Mine must be delicious then," she said, and licked her lips in anticipation while staring at the paper bag containing her own meal. She tried to grab the bag from Kent, but he playfully held it away.But when Kent finally brought out her food, she frowned her face and stared at him in disappointment. "What's this?" she asked, her tone hinting at her discontent. Her meal consisted of plain porridge and milk, a sharp difference to Kent's hearty breakfa
"I'm so happy we did this together," August said. "Me too!" Lisa agreed. "It's been an unforgettable experience “. Just then, Lisa stared at her cute godson and said, "Micheal is so well behaved! I'm amazed he didn't cry during the wedding." Jenny laughed and replied, "I know, right? I was worried he would disrupt the ceremony, but he was an angel." August chuckled, "I think he knew it was a special day. He sensed everyone's happiness.” "That's so true! Babies pick up on energy. You must have done something right, Jenny." Lusa said with laughter. Jenny smiled and said in a low voice, "Just lots of prep and luck, I think! We had a quiet moment before the ceremony, and Kevin sang to him." August giggled as she said, "Aww, that's sweet! Kevin's got a soothing voice." "And Micheal loves his daddy's voice. No wonder he was calm." Lisa added. Jenny said as she laughed "Exactly! Kevin's been singing to him since birth. It's their special bond”. Meanwhile, Micheal noticed that they

A lady said .“OMG, what a shock! Five business tycoons getting married on the same day? This is insane! Another lady said.“I know, right? And at the same venue? Talk about a power move. A young man said“But who are the lucky ladies? Anyone know? A lady asked.“According to sources, the grooms are Kent, Anthony, Kevin, Eric, and Luke. And the brides are August, Lisa, Jenny, Anita, and Rosa”. A lady answered the question.“Aww, I love a good love story! Can't wait to see the wedding pics”. A young lady gushed out.“ Omg, I'm dying to know more about these couples! Are they all friends? How did they meet? “Rumor has it, they are all connected through family ties. And the wedding is going to be a lavish, high-security affair”.“ As a wedding planner, I'm intrigued! Five weddings at once? Logistic
Meanwhile, Frank and Luke joined Kent and Anthony inside the warehouse.Kent confronted Victor in the warehouse, his anger simmering. Just as Victor was about to speak, Luke and Frank entered."Dad, what are you doing here?" Kent called out and asked, surprised.Luke chuckled, his eyes twinkling and said. "You thought we wouldn't know what's happening in your lives, boy?"Eric explained, "We didn't want to stress you, Uncle. We had it under control."Frank waved his hand, dismissing their concerns. "Don't worry about it, boy. We rushed over as soon as we heard."Luke's gaze locked onto Victor, his smirk growing. "Look who decided to show up."Frank nodded, sharing Luke's amusement. "Thought you could hide from us?"Victor's face twisted in anger, his fists clenched.Luke's tone turned cold, his voice dripping with disdain. "You are stupid to think your plan would work. Don't you know we own this territory? Nothing escapes us."Frank added, as he chuckled, "Your every move was monitor
Inside the dimly lit, abandoned warehouse, Leon's smirk grew wider as he gazed at August and Lisa, who were still unconscious and vulnerable. "Finally, I have got you," he gloated, his voice dripping with malice.His gaze shifted to Trisha, who stood nearby,with her arms crossed. He chuckled, a cold, mirthless sound and said, "Thanks, you are excused," he said, waving his hand dismissively.Trisha's expression immediately darkened and her voice turned icy. "I'm not going anywhere. I want to watch the fun."She settled into a worn wooden chair, while staring at Lisa and August.Leon shrugged his shoulders indifferently and said. "Suit yourself."He signaled the burly men, who nodded and began securing August and Lisa with ropes. Next, Leon pulled out his phone and dialed a number. The ringtone echoed through the warehouse."It's done," he announced, his voice low and triumphant."Alright, we will be there soon," a voice replied.Leon ended the call, his smile growing. He pocketed hi
As they walked, August heard Lisa's happy voice. "I can't believe I will be a godmother to my two favorite babies." She said referring to Jenny and August's baby.August chuckled and smiled, she was eager to share the news with Kent. She couldn't wait to see the excitement on his face.Upon arriving at the restroom, they noticed it was empty and somewhat lonely, but they didn't think much of it. Hospitals could be quiet sometimes.After finishing, they bumped into Trisha, who gave them an eerie smile."Wow... who do we have here?" Trisha said, clapping her hands together, her eyes glinting with malice.August and Lisa, not in the mood for conversation, hissed and tried to leave. They sensed something off about Trisha's demeanor."Stop there!" Trisha commanded angrily when they ignored her.She clapped her hands again, summoning three bulky men from the shadows.August and Lisa exchanged worried glances as they sensed danger."What do you want?" August asked coldly."I want you both,
A month after meticulously planning his revenge, Leon set out to execute it. As he stood under the shower as water dripped out from his body. He smirked evilly as he recalled his sinister plan he was about to do.Weeks ago, he had discovered that Kent had purchased the company for his brother, fueling Leon's anger and determination. The memory of being humiliated still burned within him, so he vowed to make them pay for his misfortune.After his shower, He wrapped a towel around his waist and stepped out of the bedroom. His eyes scanned his room as he grabbed his phone from the bed and dialed Trisha's number.Certain areas were off limits to him as a man, so he needed Trisha's help. He knew her animosity toward August and Lisa will make her the perfect ally. Leon knew Trisha's hatred ran deep, so he intended to exploit it.Trisha answered on the first ring. "Hey, Leon. What's up?" she asked."I need your help," Leon replied with a low voice.“What could that be?”. She asked him w
"Mom!" August exclaimed, rushing to Rosa and Rhea, her voice filled with excitement."Aunty," she greeted Christy, Jenny's mom, with a warm hug."My child, how are you? Is Kent treating you well?" Rhea asked, her eyes filled with love.August blushed. "Yes, mum. He's amazing."Rhea smiled, patting August's hand. "That's good”.Just then Anthony, who had been itching to hear the news, spoke up, "Now that we are all here, Kevin, give us the news."Christabel added, "Yes, we are eager to know. What's going on with Jenny?"Only God how worried she was when she received a call from Lisa.She immediately left what she was doing and dragged her husband to the hospital but before that, she called her friends who also dragged their husbands. “Uhmmm”. Kevin said as he scratched his head, he looked at his parents who were staring at him and gulped his saliva.“Would they kill him if they knew he impregnated Jenny without marrying her? He asked himself as he was still afraid of their questions e
Kevin woke up to a disturbing sound coming from the toilet. Groggily, he opened his eyes and stretched his arm, as he looked at the empty space beside him. That's when he remembered the noise. Concern etched on his face,so he quickly threw off the covers and rushed to the toilet.When he got there, what he saw shocked him. Jenny was squatting on the floor while vomiting uncontrollably. He looked at her and noticed that she was really weak as her body convulsed anytime she vomited. "Babe!" Kevin exclaimed as he rushed to her side. He knelt beside her, holding her hair back.Jenny didn't respond as her eyes were closed. She was lost in her misery, so she was unable to speak.When he saw that she didn’t respond, his worry intensified. He had never seen her like this before, so he gently rubbed her back, as he tried to comfort her."We need to get you to the hospital," he urged her, as his voice was laced with concern.Jenny nodded feebly, her eyes still closed. She almost blacked out,
As Kent entered their bedroom, he gently laid August down, removing her shoes, clothes and accessories before covering her with a blanket.He went to the closet and brought out a simple wear with a face wipes which he used in cleaning her makeup. After dressing her, she stirred softly , as her eyes opened."Kent?" she whispered and called out."I'm here, baby," Kent replied, sitting beside her.Just then, the butler knocked softly on the door. "Sir, I have prepared the soup. Shall I bring it in?Kent nodded his head and answered. "Yes, thank you, Uncle."The butler entered with a tray, bearing a steaming bowl of soup and fresh fruit.August's eyes lit up. "Food."Kent smiled. "Eat up, baby." He said as he placed it on the table.As August ate, Kent watched, ensuring she finished every bite.When she finished, August yawned."Tired," she whispered and yawned again.Kent tucked her in. "Sleep, baby. I will be here."August's eyes closed, and Kent sat beside her, holding her hand.The bu
