Her father said as soon as he picked up the call.“Good morning dad”. August said with a low voice so her father immediately thought that something was wrong with her.“Are you ok, is Kent not treating you well? He asked hurriedly.“Tell your father princess, I will help you to teach him a lesson if I see him next time”. Her father said with anger.August laughed and said, “Calm down down, I’m happy in my marriage, and as for Kent, he is treating me well, you don’t have to worry”. “You scared me for a bit”.

On the other side, Kent sat in his office and decided to have a meeting instantly. Although his assistant, Mark, was confused, he still followed his boss's orders. "Get the planning team here," Kent said while reading a document.Mark nodded and quickly got on the phone to summon the planning team to Kent's office. He couldn't help but wonder what was behind the sudden meeting, but he knew better than to ask questions.As he hung up the phone, he turned to Kent and said, "They'll be here in five minutes, sir."Kent grunted, not looking up from the document he was reading.

It was the first time, and it hurt more than just physically.Mr. Riggs felt a pang of pain seeing his daughter's tears, but he knew he had no other choice. He needed to take drastic measures to save himself and Emily from Kent's wrath. He took a deep breath and tried to compose himself." Emily, but you left me no choice," he said firmly. "Your behavior is unacceptable, and you need to learn that there are consequences to your actions. He said coldly, trying to be a tough man.Emily's face crumpled, and she sobbed uncontrollably. Mr. Riggs knew he had to be strong, for both their sakes. He turned to Kent, with his eyes pleading for understanding."Please Sir, give me a chance to fix this. I'll make sure Emily learns from her mistakes and becomes a valuable member of the team." He said and begged, even though he did not mean it.Kent g

She was looking so stunning , with her hair tied up in a ponytail, and a cozy sweater that hugged her curves.“Kevin”. She called out.“Hey”. Kevin said with a weak smile and waved at her.“What are you doing here? She asked him. “I came to check on you”. Kevin scratched his head and said. “As you can see , I’m fine”.

Cynthia jumped, her heart racing with fear.Leon's eyes narrowed, he stared at a certain direction and was seething with anger, his mind was racing with the thoughts of revenge.

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!

"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.

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.

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.

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!"

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
