Lindsey hastened her steps strolling away from Sharon. She looked around getting worried and impatient as she looked around for her chauffeur. She grabbed her phone from her purse and made to call him but then she remembered she didn't take his number earlier after he had assured her that he would stick around the venue. Lindsey inhaled deeply cursing at him and blaming herself for believing his crock lie. Who was she supposed to call now? she didn't know anyone in Paris and don't even know how far her hostel was from the venue. She fluttered her lashes clicking on the Google map, at least the internet has made it easy for them, even if she didn't know what to do but she still decided to know how far she was from her hostel. "Stranded?" Miguel asked staring at her, just as usual, he had his charming and breathtaking smile plastered on his face and Lindsey couldn't help being mesmerized by it. "I can't find my chauffeur," Lindsey said shifting her gaze from him back to her phone. Aft
Lindsey listened to the ringtone as she waited eagerly for Georgina to answer her call, a few minutes later, the call connected. "Hi ma'am, I saw_". "Why didn't you tell me about Keith?" Georgina said in a hoarse tone which made Lindsey a bit nervous. "About Keith? I don't really understand," Lindsey said each word slowly as if she was still learning how to speak. "Don't even get started Lindsey, I called Keith and he told me he already left Paris, why didn't you tell me" Lindsey bit her lower lips thinking of what to tell Georgina, she knew quite well Keith had a good relationship with his mother and she didn't want to come in-between. "He got an urgent call, I was the one that told him to go attend to it," Lindsey said after a long thought, she decided to take the blame, it wouldn't do her any harm. There was silence for a while as she waited for Georgina to say something but after a while, the beep call came, and the call ended just like that. Georgina stared at her phone, her mi
Lindsey walked out of the royal hotel putting on a white dress matched with a pair of a black court shoes, she had a hat on her head and was putting on a sunshade which made her look like a medieval princess couple with the fact that she was putting on a white and black scribed hand glove. Miguel was stunned for the moment, drooling at Lindsey's beauty, never had he seen medieval wear look so good on someone in such modern age. "You look_" he paused as his eyes trailed over her body and his lips covered in a satisfying smile. He lifted his head and meet Lindsey's eyes on him "Good" he completed the sentence nodding his head. "Thanks, you aren't looking bad yourself," Lindsey managed to say snapping out of her thought, she had been wondering why Miguel was looking at her in such a manner, she thought her dress wasn't good for the event but then his last word proved her wrong. "But why would he be staring at her?" Lindsey couldn't help but wonder. She glanced at Miguel as he helped her
Miguel dropped her at the hostel before leaving to get the drugs he promised. A few minutes later, he came back and meet Lindsey already sleeping. He sighed and dropped the drug close to her with a note before leaving the room. Immediately the door slammed shut, Lindsey opened her eyes, she had faked her sleeping so Miguel could go back to his hotel. With the way her subconscious was tricking her, she wouldn't want to stay in the same room with him. She picked up the note a read it, a smile spread across her lips. If only she was still single, she would have considered dating Miguel, he was such a perfect guy and the ideal kind of boyfriend she had wanted for herself. She inhaled deeply, too bad he already married Keith before she meet him. She grabbed the pain relief medicine and tossed it inside her bag, she wasn't on her menstrual period and there was no need for it. Lindsey walked towards the bathroom to take a shower but stopped as she remembered something "Menstrual period, W
Lindsey sat at the first class session of the plan, she had a headset over her head and her eyes were shut as she listened to the song. The plane left an hour ago so in less than one hour they would be arriving New York. Her phone beeped and she opened her eyes to check her phone. It was a message from Miguel. She had been so busy the previous day that she forgot to reply to his messages even after reading them. Lindsey Inhaled deeply checking the last four messages "Hi, why aren't you replying to my text am I disturbing you," "Should I come and drive you to the airport" "Good night, I hope by tomorrow you would reply to the text" "I came to the hotel and the receptionist said you left very early, I still have a few things to settle here in Paris so we would see when I return, Save journey and please text me when you get there, my regards to Keith and the rest of the Winslow family" Lindsey inhaled deeply feeling very guilty. She didn't intentionally keep his messages on reading but s
Lindsey walked into the company looking around, it was her first time going to the Winslow conglomerate and it looked bigger than what they showed in pictures and videos online. She walked behind Joyce who was leading her to Georgina's office and every staff they came across bowed their head in respect to her. Lindsey saw a lady walking towards them, she looked familiar and she was sure she must have seen him somewhere I couple of times but she wasn't sure where exactly she had met her. "I guess you couldn't wait for tomorrow, you had to come to the company today," Cynthia said with an insincere smile plastered on her face. Lindsey stared at her trying so hard to remember her. From the way she was talking it looked as if she knew her quite well. Fortunately for her, Joyce was able to get a glimpse of what was happening and quickly whispered to her who Cynthia was. "Don't tell me you don't remember me?" Cynthia asked noticing what had just happened. "We met two times already, during
Lindsey walked into the Winslow Conglomerate looking lavishly, Joyce had made sure that she looked elegant and outstanding just like the chairwoman Georgina had instructed her. Every staff that walked passed her admired her while bowing respectfully at her. She was putting on a limited edition Louis Vuitton white gown which had a slit reaching almost her thigh. She had black heels to match and a black Louis Vuitton bag, she even had a change of hairstyle. Everything she was putting on screamed lots of money and obviously not something a regular person could afford. "Oh, glad you are early, the meeting would start in ten minutes," Georgina said immediately after Lindsey walked into her office. Lindsey nodded her head without saying anything as she sat down. "Oh least I forget, how did your husband, receive the news and have you checked yet to confirm," Georgina asked. Lindsey stared at her with a flash smile plastered on her face. How was she going to tell Georgina that she and Keit
Keith had a stiff straight facial expression and his voice didn't sound as if he was joking. "What did you say?" Cynthia asked unable to believe her ears. "Did he just insult her in front of everyone?"Keith glanced at her and smirked turning to Georgina "Is that all?" He asked totally ignoring Cynthia and making her look like a fool. Cynthia scoffed throwing daggers at him. Lindsey watched silently wondering why Keith was suddenly standing up for her, the last time she checked, she was very angry with him because of the pregnancy scandal and didn't even sleep in the villa. "Yes, Son, that would be all," Georgina said with a smile plastered on her face. The last statement brought the board meeting to the end. Keith stood up and walked towards Lindsey, staring at her, she grabbed her gradually by the hand and walked her out of the conference room as everyone kept mute staring at them. "What was that about?" Lindsey asked releasing her hand from Keith's grip. Keith loosened his tie
Throughout the ride to Dior, Georgina kept stealing glances at Lindsey as her statement echoed in her head. She tried shaking it off but she just couldn't help but think about it.She knew Harry and Francis might not like Keith because he was named the third generation heir even though he was the last son but Georgina never thought the hatred would be so visible for another to see.She couldn't even blame Lindsey for speaking rudely to her, she was trying to look after her unborn baby, that's what every responsible mother would do.Minutes later, they arrived at Dior and they both alighted from the car and walked in. Walking into Dior, Georgina was stunned, she has never been to Dior so she didn't know what it looked like. Everywhere was coordinated and the staff bowed as they walked passed them."Good Morning ma'am," Ashley greeted bowing respectfully at them. She was shocked to see Georgina there that she wanted to ask but she re
Lindsey woke up the next day after a long night with Keith, they had decided to make love the previous night when they got back because the sooner Lindsey gets pregnant, the sooner the rumours about her dues off.Lindsey looked beside her hoping to see Keith beside her but he wasn't there, she frowned thinking about the last time she had woken up without seeing Keith there, he ended up having a terrible and scandalous day.She reached for her nightwear and wore it before sliding into her flip-flop. She made her way downstairs hoping to see Keith there since it was still early and Keith didn't leave any note to show that he wasn't home.On reaching downstairs, Lindsey heard the doorbell which Keith answered immediately. It wasn't long before the visitor spoke and Lindsey quickly recognized the voice to belong to Georgina."What's she doing here this early, I just hope nothing is wrong," Lindsey said as she made to walk into the sitt
Lindsey turned towards the direction of the voice hoping it was who she thought it was and lo and behold, Leen was standing right in front of her with a smile plastered on her face."Leen?" Lindsey called as tears dropped from her eyes. "Yeah girlfriend, it's me," Leen smiled."God Leen," Lindsey said and quickly hugged her. Leen smiled hugging her back, she missed Lindsey but she knew it wasn't as much as Lindsey missed her. At least she got the opportunity to see Lindsey's picture on the internet but she just zoned out without a word to her or anyone."It's really you Leen, I have missed," Lindsey cried hugging her even tighter. Keith stood in a corner staring at them with a smile plastered on his face. Looking at Lindsey and Leen reconnect after so many months, it made her remember his friendship with Miguel. The truth was that he didn't even know what exactly went wrong, they just fell apart and never spoke to each other ever again. It's be
Silence was what followed next after Chairman Winslow made his statement. Lindsey glanced at Georgina before shifting her gaze to Keith only to meet his eyes fixed on her. They both maintained eye contact for a while as if trying to ask each other if they were comfortable with the whole suggestion."Don't just sit there and stare at each other, say something," Chairman Winslow said breaking off the eye contact. Lindsey shifted her gaze to him, she wasn't sure if she was ready to become a mother just yet, she loved the idea of getting pregnant and giving birth but those were just the tip of the iceberg compared to the kind of responsibility she had to face as a mother."We will do it," Keith said making Lindsey turn sharply at him. She wasn't sure why Keith changed his mind so suddenly, the last time she checked, he didn't want to have anything to do with him."Okay, Lindsey do you agree?" Chairman Winslow asked looking at her. He was trying to
Audrey burst into laughter immediately after Sharon sighed out of the talk show. "What's this?" Audrey asked looking at her laptop. "Did I just watch a soap opera or something?" She asked again. The ending wasn't just what she expected. She wasn't sure what she was expecting but she knew for sure that the way the talk show had ended wasn't just the ending she was expecting."Do you think this is the time to shine your teeth like a fool," Audrey turned towards the door and saw her mother Carolyn. She didn't need to ask her if she was okay since her facial expression and the tone of her voice already answered that."Pack your back, we are going back to New York," Audrey raised a brow at her wondering where that was coming all of a sudden."Mum, I thought you said you were planning something and that I don't have to lift a finger?" Audrey asked just to be sure she remembered correctly what Carolyn had said."Do you think I don't know
Lindsey felt a cold chill run down her spine, she never had any abortion like Tamarah had accused her but she knew where that story was leading, her past was going to be brought to the limelight and it wasn't going to be good for her."Why are you suddenly quiet Lindsey? Before you think of suing Nancy, why don't you first confirm if you are truly a woman?" Tamarah spat angrily."Wait, we are getting lost here, what abortion are you talking about?" Jenna asked. Sharon didn't bother to ask anything since she already heard the story from Nancy, she just relaxed in her seat watching to know how the drama unfolds."Lindsey, Did you have an abortion for your husband because you weren't ready to be a mother?" Jenna asked again making Tamarah let out a soft mockery laugh."For her husband, Jenna trust me, it would have been a lot better if Keith was the one responsible for the pregnancy," Tamarah began making everyone interested in what s
"Oh my God, this is going to be more fun than I thought it would be," Audrey said as she typed in the comment. She was watching the talk show from her laptop and so far she was enjoying the way Lindsey's sister was speaking ill of her but never did she imagine that Lindsey would come to the show."Did Georgina ask her to come?" Audrey thought munching on her popcorn, she had anticipated that the interview would be fun so she bought the popcorn."Hell no, Georgina can't do that, she has a reputation for handling issues herself and she won't be stupid enough to leave a pressuring issue like this to Lindsey to settle," Audrey shook her head negatively."Well, whichever one it is, as long as she ends up making a fool of herself, I don't really care," Audrey scoffed looking at her laptop. There were two top reporters on the talk show and the outcome of the show would trend for days especially if Lindsey fails to prove the controversial rumour wrong.
Lindsey woke up the next morning feeling light-headed, she looked around the room and frowned wondering how she got there. The last thing she remembered was drinking with Miguel.She moaned feeling a sharp pain, "Gosh Lindsey, why did you drink too much?" Lindsey asked. She turned looking for her phone, seconds later, she found it and made to reach for it but then she saw a note which was very obvious that Miguel had dropped it.Lindsey smiles reading the text over and over again, "Isn't Miguel way better than Keith, gosh it would have been perfect if the Flyheart family had brought in the proposal first," Her subconscious said making Lindsey smile harder but soon enough she snapped herself out of it, reminding herself that she was still married and can't afford another scandal.She dropped the note and picked up her phone. "God dammit," Lindsey whined, it was already 8:30 am and her phone was still in flight mode. She had missed Sharon's text
Joyce turned sharply at Lindsey, she didn't need to be told who Lindsey had called. "I'm not sure the chairwoman would be happy about this," Joyce said."No one asked you, I suggest you talk only when you are talked to or asked to talk," Lindsey fired turning fiercely at her.Joyce quickly bowed her head apologetically, she knew Lindsey was angry and was transferring aggression at her. "I'm sorry ma'am," Joyce said.Lindsey sneered reaching for her phone, she had ended the call on Sharon immediately she said why she called so she thought Sharon was the one calling her back but looking at the caller ID, she rolled her eyes answering the call."I'm guessing you must have seen the tabloid?" Lindsey said."Hmm, don't think too much about it," Keith said staring into his iPad. He had seen it when he called Lindsey that morning but since Lindsey didn't mention anything about it, he too decided not to say anything about
