CHAPTER 41"What!?" Nick yelled in shock as he stared at his little sister and best friend sitting in front of him and holding hands."I know you'll be shocked Nick but I can no longer hide this from you. I love Jones and he feels the same way too." Jubilee confessed."Buddy, I really do love your sister." Jones chipped in. "My kid sister Jones? You didn't see any other girl to date but my little sister? This relationship won't work, I won't support or give my blessings!" Nick yelled at both of them and abruptly stood up.He pushed the chair backward and glared at them."Please Nick. We really love each other." Jubilee ran after him."Love? You're still a child Jubilee!" Nick yelled at her as they got outside. "I'm not a child Nick! I'm twenty years! And I'm old enough to make certain decisions. He's your best friend Nick so, what's stopping us from dating?It's not like it's our fault, we just fell in love." Jubilee cried out."You know Jones sees you as a kid sister even before you

CHAPTER 42"Boss is getting married? You mean Nick? He's getting married to that witch?" Clara was baffled. Shock was written all over her face."You heard me right bestie. His grandma talked to me to cancel his appointments until his back. And I found out that Alice is already pregnant." Lia shrugged her shoulders nonchalantly but she was hurting inside. "What!? She's even pregnant? This is...I'm speechless." Clara gasped in shock."I've totally lost in this love fight that I've been with myself Clara, it hurts." Lia wept, she just couldn't hold back the tears.Clara moved closer to her and put her head on her shoulder. "You'll find a good man bestie, you'll eventually get over him." Clara patted her back."I love him so much Clara, I know it was wrong but my stupid heart wouldn't stop loving him. My stupid heart wouldn't stop beating whenever I saw him, it's not my fault Clara, it's not." Lia sobbed harder."It's okay Lia, everything would be alright.********As Nick sat in the air

CHAPTER 43"Lia? Are you okay?" Shantelle asked worriedly. She got on top of the bed and crawled up to meet Lia who was curled up on the bed. She was shaking and she was covered with duvet. Shantelle touched Lia's forehead and flinched."Oh my goodness Lia, you're burning up. You have a fever." Shantelle gasped. Lia's eyes were closer but tears were rolling down her cheeks. Her teeth were making clattering sounds while her body shook as if she was cold."You have a fever Lia. Oh my...what do I do? Can you get up so we could go to the hospital?" Shan asked. She was so scared to the teeth and she was confused too."I don't want to go to the hospital. Just get me some drugs and I'll be fine." Lia managed to whisper. Her voice was so low that Shan had to put her ear in her mouth to be able to hear what Lia had said.Her breath was hot too. "Okay. Just hang in there Lia, I'm coming. I'll be back immediately." Shan sobbed and quickly got down from the bed.Once outside the compound, she to

CHAPTER 44Nick sighed and nodded his head. "Sure. Let's go out and have fun tonight.""So, where should we go first?" Lia asked with a smile. "Um, it's your choice. You wanted this so, it's up to you where you want to go first and I'll try my best to grant them for you." Nick replied with a grin. "Okay, if you say so," Nick said."I think we should head to the children's park. I've always wanted to go there but I'm scared of most of the rides there." Lia gushed out in excitement."Alright. I'm not scared of those rides so I'll ride them with you." Nick nodded his head."Alright, let's go." Lia started walking out of the office. Nick smiled and trailed behind her. They both got to the car and Nick as a gentleman, opened the front door for her. "Thank you." Lia smiled lightly and got into the car.Nick turned around and got into the driver's seat. "Your seatbelt." Nick pointed at the seatbelt beside her. "Oh! I almost forgot." Lia laughed and wore the seatbelt.Nick wore his and start

CHAPTER 45"We are going home! I'm done with this so called fun!" He smacked and then, walked away.Lia watched him walk away and sat on the ground, sobbing. Nick noticed that Lia wasn't walking behind him or beside him either. He turned around and saw her sitting on the floor and sobbing like a child, passers-by were already talking and pointing at her.Nick felt so embarrassed because it was obvious from their expressions that they were saying mean things about him."Come on Lia, don't be like that." Nick groaned as he walked up to her. Lia only sobbed louder and it was causing more unnecessary attention and he didn't like it."You yelled at me and if you don't apologize, I'll scream and cry out more." Lia grumbled. Nick sighed and ran his hands through his soft straightened hair.He looked around and still found people staring at them. "Okay, fine. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to yell at you and you should get up so we could go to an eatery," He said calmly.Lia smirked and stood up f

CHAPTER 46"You don't look happy Alice, why?" Mercedes asked worriedly. Alice has this really sad look on her face and she has been sulking the whole day."I don't know Mercedes but I just feel like that I'm making a mistake getting married to Nick. Don't get me wrong, you know how much I love him and I really want us to get married and spend the rest of our lives together.But I don't think it's the same with Nick. He doesn't seem to love me like I do and I just feel like he's been forced into doing this." Alice explained and let out a heavy sigh.She was seriously bothered."Come on Alice, don't say that. If Nick didn't love you enough to get married to you, then he wouldn't have agreed to engage you and then, agree to marry you.He's preparing for the marriage, isn't it?" Mercedes stated. "Yes, he is." Alice replied."Good. He's not a poor guy that I'll say he's a gold digger and only trying to get your father's properties but he's wealthy. So, why would he want to get married to y

CHAPTER 47"Lia!" Shantelle yelled with all her strength. The shout smacked her back into consciousness. She perceived a burnt smell and when she looked, she found Shantelle trying to put off fire.Lia gasped in fright and quickly ran toward the kitchen but before she got there, Shantelle already put off the fire and she was breathing very fast and hard."You almost killed us Lia! If I hadn't perceived the burnt smell and followed my instinct to the kitchen, then this house and us would have been gone!" Shantelle screamed in anger and her body was shaking in fright.Lia just stood in front of the burnt cooking pot that had turned to black."I'm sorry." That was the only words she could say before walking away.She looked so dazed, as if she was going to cry and she did—she bursted into hot tears.This was all Nick's fault. If only he hadn't made her fall deeply in love with him. This was all his fault!*********Nick woke up but just stared at the ceiling. He was fully awake but he wa

CHAPTER 48"This is your chance to decide whether you would stay or go home." Clara sighed as she saw the way Lia looked at the banner.Lia didn't say anything but took in a deep breath. "I still wanna attend." She stated adamantly. She turned to look at Clara and shrugged her shoulders then, held Jerome's hand. They walked into the church and they stopped by to greet the people they were familiar with and for Lia, it was mostly people from the company.Clara and Jerome were quite popular amongst the people as they said hi to the people.*******Nick was already ready but he was nervous and unhappy. He wasn't supposed to feel this way but he couldn't help himself.He was supposed to be over the moon because it was his wedding day but he just couldn't feel that happiness."We are starting very soon. You should get ready so that chauffeur would take you to the church, the guests are already waiting." Jones told Nick. Nick nodded his head and took in a deep breath and arranged his tie p

CHAPTER 64"Don't you think you two should get married?" Grandma Nadia asked and darted her eyes from Lia to Nick."Huh?" Nick gasped."Isn't too early to talk about marriage? We just got back together." Nick shrugged. ""Yes grandma, Nick is right." Lia smiled. But she wasn't happy. She thought Nick would have been happy to talk about marriage and agree that he would propose soon but instead, he said what she didn't want."Alright, I'll respect your decision. You can take your time. Come on now, let's go to the dinning room," Grandma Nadia said and started towards the dinning room.Lia and Nick looked at each other and trailed behind grandma Nadia.*************"Why didn't you run away mom?

CHAPTER 63"Wait, you're pregnant Lia? For who?" He asked.Lia bit her lip and stared at the window, nervous to look at Nick. "Yes I'm pregnant and the child is for my boyfriend." Lia replied."That's not true Lia, I don't believe you. You've been away for just three months and you already have a boyfriend and you're already pregnant for him?" Nick asked. It was as if he was out of his mind.He couldn't believe that Lia was carrying another man's child."So? I chose to move on quickly, is it my fault?" Lia yelled at him."Why haven't I seen your boyfriend here in the hospital? Call him now let me talk to him!" Nick half yelled. He doesn't want to believe that he had already loosed her."Fine! You're right. I don't have a boyfriend and I'm pregnant for you! What we had three months ago resulted into pregnancy. There, are you happy now?"***********"Why won't you come with me Lia? I don't want anything to happen to you and my child. I don't want to loose you a second time. You heard wh

CHAPTER 62Lia was on her way to work and she needed to walk to the bus stop. She was lost in thought thinking about Nick and how he was faring.She wondered if he ever looked for her and tried to reach her. Did he miss her? Did he find another woman?She had so many questions in her mind and she wished she had answers to them. She was so lost in thought that she didn't see a car coming from the other side and before she could come back to her senses, the car was already close by and the driver was struggling to maneuver his way not to hit her but he failed and he hit her.She felt dizzy and passed out."Lia?" Nick was shocked to see the woman he has been looking for, for the past three months. Was this where she came to hide?He carried her up and took her into the car. "Look for the nearest hospital and drive there." Nick ordered sharply.**********Lia opened her eyes slowly and groaned lightly. She looked around and noticed a drip was fixed in her hand and she realized that she wa

CHAPTER 61"Who's she Lia?" Shan asked as she darted her eyes from Lia to Joan who was almost in tears.Lia gave Joan the look not to say anything."I'm your... I'm your mother," Joan said the truth anyway."What! What did you just say?" Shantelle asked in shock. It took her time to find her tongue and say something as she was in shock. Or maybe she had not heard her correctly.Lia was so vexed that she didn't hide it, she glared angrily at Joan."Just leave!" Lia snapped and gestured towards the door. She was suddenly feeling light headed and dizzy."Please just give me a chance and I promise not to ever disturb you again. Just hear me out please. I'm not asking to be part of your lives or to accept me back as your mother, I just want to explain how things really were." Joan rushed her words.Her children just stood there staring at her."If what she said about being our mother is trur Lia, then please give her a chance to explain herself because I want an explanation too.

CHAPTER 60"What's on my schedule today?" Nick asked his new secretary. Mario, the new secretary adjusted his glasses properly and swiped through the tablet in his hand. "Uhm...well sir, you have a dinner party to attend by Kayley, the De casino owner by 6pm." Mario replied.Nick sighed and glared at Mario. If it was Lia, she wouldn't be reading from her tablet as she had all his schedules memorized off hand."I told you that you should learn how to memorize my schedules and not read them from the tablet. You need to be more serious and efficient." Nick stated harshly."I'm sorry sir, I'm really sorry. I'll try my best to memorize tomorrow's schedule and tell you off hand tomorrow." Mario promised with a bow."Get the car ready, I'll be leaving soon," Nick said and took his gaze back to his screen. "Okay sir." Mario responded and left.Nick took in a deep breath and placed his back on the chair and swirled gently on his swivel chair. His mind went to Lia and all the good times they s

CHAPTER 59"Keep your apology to yourself jerk! I don't need it." Jubilee spat out and stood up. She took the cup of coffee on the table and poured it on his face. Then, she took her handbag and left. Jones was stunned as he watched Jubilee walk out on him. Everybody in the cafe turned to look at him and murmured amongst themselves.He wiped his face and stood up. Did he actually think Jubilee was gonna forgive him this easily after hurting her physically, mentally and emotionally?**********In less than two weeks, Lia finally got a job at a company but it wasn't that big compared to Nick's own but the pay was good too.The work wasn't stressful as she was the personal assistant of the director in the company.

CHAPTER 58"You son of a bitch!" Nick yelled as he yanked Jones by the collar and punched him on his face. Before Jones could even say something or gain his balance, Nick threw him another punch and another.Jones punched Nick too and Nick let go of him. "What is it man? You just barge into my house and throw punches at me?" Jones asked angrily. His nose and lips were bleeding—he had a broken nose and lips. He went into the bathroom and took out a row of tissue and stuck them in his nose to avoid the bleeding.He wiped the blood away from his lips and started out of his room. "Let's talk in the sitting room." He turned to look at Nick when he noticed that Nick was still standing."You're really pretending like you don't know why I'm here? Really?" Nick asked angrily. He was controlling himself so hard not to punch Jones again."How am I supposed to know? We didn't have a fight or an argument. I didn't do anything wrong to you, did I?" Jones asked with a slight scoff."You did somethi

CHAPTER 57Nick sighed despondently and handed the phone back to Clara. "I guess she doesn't want to talk to you." Clara stated politely.She couldn't understand what was going on between her best friend and her boss. "Yeah, I guess so. It was obvious." Nick scoffed and walked away. He got to his office and arranged his things and then, left the office. He was done with work so, he was headed home."Get me a new secretary, a male one," Nick said to his P.A, his eyes not leaving the system."Okay sir, I'll bring the eligible ones for you to interview." His P.A replied politely. "No need for that, I'm too busy for that. Just do it yourself and make sure the guy is good and can handle all the works perfectly." Nick replied."Okay boss, I'll do as you have said. I'll take my leave now." The P.A bowed lightly and walked out of the office.Only the noise of typing keyboard could be heard in Nick's office. He was very focused as he typed and flipped the papers on his table.He had decided to
