Chapter fifty-four"What do you mean? Desmond... Is your mother's illness that serious?" Mr Black asked."Yes, Daddy, it's very serious, I'm on my way to somewhere, I'll call later," Desmond said and Disconnected.******All the people who followed Dean had finally gone to their various homes, only four of them were left.Dean was very tired but he had to do something, seeing that his boss was not happy.Dean called his Boss and they went outside, "Sir, what's going on? Why did Cindy come back with her bag?" Dean asked.Eduardo took a deep breath and said, "She never told me she had a plan already, she woke up this morning and started packing up her clothes."He paused for a while and continued, "Dean to be sincere, I don't know what to do again... I wanted to send my mother to our family house but Cindy refused and just like that she decided to leave my house." He ran his fingers through his hair and asked,"Dean, did she know I was the one who hit her years ago?" "No," Dean answere
Chapter fifty-fiveThe moment he landed at the airport, he went straight to the restaurant where he saw Tina the other time he was at state.Desmond entered and found another person in the restaurant. "Hi," Desmond greeted."Hi, welcome... Make yourself comfortable, Sir." The lady said and gave him the list of available foods."No, I don't need this now, can I talk with you outside?" Desmond asked gently, looking at the few customers in the place. The lady nodded and said, "Just give me some minutes and I'll be right back." She went into the shop and shortly she came back, handed one of her customers what she requested and slowly she strode down to Desmond's seat and said, "I am ready, can we talk now?""Yes, sure," Desmond answered and stood up.The lady walked outside and Desmond followed her Immediately, "I was here a few weeks ago."Desmond said once they left her customer's sight the lady halted."Okay," The lady responded shortly.Desmond breathed heavily and continued, "I kn
Chapter fifty-six"Aah... Thank God, they didn't notice." Cindy murmured and not in a far distance they left, She now got the sign that Madam Ponny normally gave for her to come out of her place.So she gently opened the entrance and it was Madam Ponny.Madam Ponny carried out a pregnancy test on Cindy and she was pregnant. She smiled and shook her head at the sight of the result.Cindy was a novice, so she didn't understand what was in the result till Madam Ponny explained it to her."Cindy you're pregnant." Madam ponny explained.She sounded so excited even though she did not know the person responsible for the pregnancy.Cindy heard the result and her mood changed, angrily, She asked, "What should I do now? Madam Ponny?""Cindy don't ask me that... What did you expect us to do?" Madam Ponny asked and Cindy noticed anger in her voice. They became an awkward silence between them and after some minutes, Madam Ponny asked, "Cindy, did you love the guy that owns this pregnancy?""Madam
Chapter fifty-sevenSeeing how beautiful the necklace was, made her feel like to see more of the things in the bag.She gently removed everything and saw that Desmond really spent a lot for her and her son.Ben who stood behind Tina began to wonder who Mr Desmond was and why would his mother treat him like that and yet he was still coming to their place. "But, mother, is this gift not too much for us... And it looks expensive as well, who did you say that uncle was?" Ben asked doubting if his mother actually told him the truth of who that man was.Tina knew why he was asking and tears started streaming down her face, "Mother don't cry, If you don't want to talk about him, forget it, let's go and eat." Ben said and went into his mother's arms to console her with a gentle hug.Ben likes Tina so much that he doesn't like seeing her in a sulky mood. Tina returned the necklace and everything back in the bag and dropped it on the sofa.Doing that, she said, "The meal is getting cold, let's
Chapter fifty-eightWhen she put to bath and noticed that it was a baby boy, she felt a bit happy seeing that it was a baby.Tina spent two days in the hospital and before she left, one of the Doctors advised her to sell the child and move on with her life.Tina agreed to sell the child away, but in the process of signing some peppers, she went through one of the instructions and shook her head.Tina looked at her baby lying down innocently in her baby bed and he was the only thing she had that gave her joy, Then she stood up from the seat where she was supposed to sign up the peppers and dropped the pen and pepper."Tina, what do you think you're doing, you can't take care of this child... Go ahead and sign up the peppers, money won't be your problem anymore." The Doctor who advised her said persuasively.But Tina refused to listen to him, she went to her baby's bed, carried him and left the hospital Immediately.Tina left the hospital out of fear, she thought they might inject her a
Chapter fifty-nineThe moment he saw her nodding her head, he flashed a satisfied smile and sped up.******"Knock! Knock!"Madam Pony heard a sudden knock on the door, so she went and opened the door. She was surprised to see both of them standing at the door.She was not expecting Dean to come along with Eduardo and Immediately she saw both of them standing, she decided to tell them something related to the truth just to bring him back next time."Come in, Dear," Madam Pony said smiling."Thank you, Madam Ponny, Immediately I dropped the call, we have to leave whatever we are doing to be here..." Dean said as they all went to the sitting room.Dean went and sat down freely on the sofa even before Madam Ponny offered them a seat as usual. "Oh, please have a seat, " Madam Ponny said the moment she turned and saw Eduardo still standing.Eduardo wanted to answer Madam Ponny angrily but Dean spoke before him to calm the whole situation."Madam Ponny, he's my Boss, Please feel free and t
Chapter sixtyAfter some minutes, Desmond loosened his arms around her and wiped tears off her face. So they continued with the celebration."Tina, would you like to go back to my place with me?" Desmond asked and she nodded before she said, "I would like my parents to know that am travelling out of state with you.""We'll go and visit them before travelling," Desmond said and chuckled excitedly.******After two days they returned from Madam Ponny's house Eduardo called Dean to come over to his house and he went.Eduardo went to his study room with Dean. He switched on his laptop and tracked Cindy again, as he was still worried about her.The signal was still pointing at Madam Ponny's building, and then he stood up and walked out of his study room angrily. Dean followed him, both of them entered his car and he speedily drove out of his house.Dean asked, "Where are we headed to?" "You see that woman... She must tell me the truth today or else, she won't leave to see tomorrow." Edua
Chapter sixty-oneCindy smiled and walked closer to the bed, "What are you thanking me for? I should be the one to be grateful to God for allowing me to meet you again... Besides, you just saved my future. Please don't talk again to avoid stressing yourself... You need to rest now, okay?" Cindy asked, walked back to the sofa and sat down silently.After some minutes she said, "Don't hesitate to let me know if you need me to do anything for you."Madam Ponny nodded. Dean and Eduardo had Just finished their business discussion outside and the moment Dean made some steps to leave, he remembered that he had not asked Eduardo what was wrong with Madam Ponny as he was there with him, Then he called out, "Excuse me, Sir,"Eduardo heard his voice and halted, he looked back and saw Dean walking back towards him, so he gently asked, "Is there something we are forgetting?""No, Sir, I didn't ask to know what Madam Ponny's case was," Dean answered."Okay..." He said and wrinkled his forehead as i

Then he wondered if nature was also working against him by not letting her to be killed.Being an evil person immediately he saw her, an evil thought to kidnap her came to his mind. So he turned his car and followed them.The moment he saw the building they entered he speedily drove away not knowing that someone saw him.Mrs Rose was lying down on her bed when a call came in, she lazily picked up her phone and answered, "Hello,""Madam, Mr Black was following Eduardo and Cindy this morning... I think you should let them know." The person on the other side of the phone said and disconnected.Mrs Rose chuckled and slowly she
Chapter sixty-nine"You're welcome," Eduardo uttered and left the sitting room.When Jeffrey saw him leaving, he lazily stood up from the sofa and said, "Nancy, it's a red wine... Be careful so that you'll not get yourself drunk."Saying that he walked through the same entrance Eduardo followed.******"What kept you guys since?" Uncle Linus asked."I needed to handle something..." Eduardo answered and Jeffrey walked in immediately."Okay, Eduardo, your cousin might not open up to you, but I am sure he needs your assistance... Check within yourself and choose any of the construction companies, make him the manager and guide him through." Saying that he cleared his throat, looked at Jeffrey and continued,"Jeff, I am excited that you have finally come back to your senses... And I believe that with your Cousin's help, you'll make a good husband and a good manager, take care of that innocent-looking girl." Uncle Linus robbed her palms together and asked, "That's the reason why I call

Saying that he walked in the direction of a room as Eduardo was pointing in that direction.And the moment he entered, his feet halted seeing Cindy, "Cindy! Oh my God, I can't believe this... So am celebrating my big Sister and my newborn baby," Dean ran his fingers through his hair and quickly went and gave her a gentle hug, "Dean, how are you?" Cindy asked with a low voice as she was still lacking strength."Am fine... Cindy, am so happy to see you, I missed you so much," Dean said.Slowly, he loosened his arms around her and walked to t
Chapter sixty-sevenUncle Linus was taking his bath, so the moment he came out, he noticed that it was Eduardo's call he missed, he called back and he picked up."Hi, Uncle," Eduardo greeted."Hello, Eduardo is everything alright?" Uncle Linus asked."Yeah... Uncle, there's good news," Eduardo answered and he sounded so happy."Eduardo, what's happening? It has been a long time since I heard you talk in this manner.""Uncle, it's Cindy... She has finally woken up from the coma." Eduardo explained."Oh my God... Are you serious about what you just said?" Uncle Linus asked."Uncle, why would I joke around with something like this? I mean every single word that came out of my mouth."Eduardo said assuredly and Uncle Linus was silent for some minutes before he disconnected the call.Overwhelmed with joy and excitement, Eduardo quickly checked on Kate and her baby before heading to see the Doctor in his office.As he knocked on the door, he couldn't wait for the response and pushed it open
Chapter sixty-sixMr. Black arrived at Desmond's place. He went straight to his door and knocked but no one answered.He was already on his way out of the building when he saw a young woman enter the premises, so he called out, "Young lady, excuse me," The lady stopped and he asked, "Do you know the way about this young man that stays here and his family... I mean your neighbour, Mr. Desmond?" Mr Black asked pointing at his door.Immediately, the woman shook her head and answered, "No, Sir." Mr . Black nodded and said, "It's alright, thank you, Dear." Then the woman walked into her apartment without looking back. That night they noticed that it was Mr. Black that visited them, Desmond became restless, the moment Desmond closed the door and they went into their room, he remembered what the receptionist told him when he returned the key to the hotel after they rented an apartment."Congratulations, Mr. Desmond... Some guy came looking for you and based on what they told me, I thought
Chapter sixty-fiveThinking it might be one of their neighbours who needed their help or something else, Tina went and opened the door.Immediately she did that, her eyes widened seeing who was at the door.'How come this man found out that we stay here?' Tina asked inwardly, her forehead wrinkled showing how shocked she was.Mr. Black noticed how shocked she was and gave out a devilish laugh.Hearing his voice, Desmond quickly walked to the door, gently removed Tina's hand from the door and closed it, doing that he said,"Tina, you don't have to waste any time with him just close the door, let's go to the room," Desmond ordered.They walked into their room ignoring his father who was outside, standing in front of their door.Mr Black was humiliated, so he annoyingly left the place, entered his car and went straight home.******Immediately, Eduardo arrived at the company, he saw Jeffrey standing in the middle of the company.Eduardo matched the break and gently stepped down from his
Chapter sixty-fourSo he couldn't say those things he wanted to say again. Jeffrey has never stuck to any lady for a long time except his x girl and that was why it pained him so much when he caught her and Eduardo in the act.He patiently waited for the Doctor to finish the surgery.******Eduardo left his mother's ward and went straight to the surgery room where Cindy was, reaching there he saw Doctor Elvis coming out from the surgery room."Hi, Doctor," He greeted."Eduardo, what are you doing here?" Doctor Elvis asked. "Doctor, can I stay in there with her..." Eduardo asked gently.Doctor Elvis knew who Eduardo was and the moment he heard his request he lifted his head and looked at him.Doctor Elvis didn't know who she was to him but, he saw so many things in his eye which made him accept his request and it was against the rules of the hospital.The rule stated that no one is to be allowed to enter the surgery room but they're free to see the person through the glasses that surr
Chapter sixty-threeOne of those guys said and Mr Black was surprised to hear that no one was in the room, he didn't say anything and there was silence between them, so after some minutes, the guy took a deep breath and said, "Mr. Black, we are leaving the hotel now... Next time, make sure you check very well before sending men out for work.The guy said, disconnected the call and left the hotel with his friend and that was how Desmond and his family were saved.Immediately he dropped the call, he looked for their pictures on air but didn't find anyone.Mr. Black continued looking for them all over the city but couldn't find them. He was the only one looking for them, so it was difficult for him.He doesn't have any of their pictures so there's no way someone who did not know them would help him in looking for them without their pictures. ******He didn't want his mother to see him looking bloody, so Immediately he came back from the hotel, he went straight to Doctor Elvis's office a
Chapter sixty-two******Right beside the entrance of the ward stood Eduardo and Dean. "Dean, I'll handle this issue myself, I need to go and see my cousin... But I want someone who would stay around and take care of my mother till I return.""Don't worry, the security in the hospital is now strong, Look at that guy sitting over there, did you recognize him?" Dean asked and pointed at the seat kept for patients who were waiting for Doctors to attend to them.Eduardo looked in that direction and nodded, "I know that face." Eduardo answered shortly and asked, "What's he doing here?""He? It's not only him... We have more of them around, so feel comfortable with whatever you want to do." Dean answered assuring him that his mother and Cindy would be safe.Eduardo nodded and left, Reaching the surgery room, he saw three Doctors trying their possible best to see that Cindy was fine.He didn't know if Cindy was going to make it or not, but he was going to leave them in the hospital for Dean
