Chapter forty"Hello, Mr Eduardo... congratulations, I am happy for both of you and I wish you a successful and happy married life." Kate greeted and congratulated him."Thank you... Kate." Eduardo answered and looking at Cindy he said, "Beauty... You're going to leave in my house from now." Saying that he smirked at her and asked, "Are you ready to go now?""Of course, are you asking her,...Uh-oh! Mr CEO, when it comes to work you'll know how to issue orders but right now you're acting like staff waiting for an order from the CEO." Kate said jokingly, raising her eyebrows and four of them started laughing. Cindy was still contemplating what to say, when she heard Kate saying that, so she pouted and eyed Kate.Eduardo saw how she was eyeing Kate, and then he said, "I don't know that you have such a dangerous weapon with you..."Dean and Kate laughed and Eduardo ran his fingers through his hair and continued,"Calm down, don't hurt her, you're free to say your mind but left for me y
Chapter forty-oneEduardo picked up the two spoons and folded his arms before she sat up on the sofa and started looking for the spoon in the server, then Eduardo showed her the two spoons and asked, "Are you looking for this?" "Yea... Can I have one of the spoons?" Cindy asked calmly."No." Saying that he shook his head and started fetching the ice cream from the plate, he took it to her mouth and said, "Open your mouth, I want to feed you."'What! Feed me?' She asked in her head and blushed, then she covered her face with her palms."Cindy... Put your hands away from your face, why are you shying away?" Eduardo asked.She peeked at him through the slight opening between her two hands and gently pulled her hands away from her face, so they both shared one spoon.The moment they finished the ice cream, Eduardo asked, "What have you eaten since morning?" "Erm... Snacks." Cindy answered lazily."Why did you eat only snacks?... I don't want you to look like this after spending one mont
Chapter forty-twoHearing what she said Eduardo ran his fingers through his hair, took a deep breath and asked, "Did Cindy know anything about this?""Yes... She was only a child when her parents died and when I wanted to open up to her and let her know the truth of who killed her father she was nowhere to be found." Mrs Rose answered."How did you plan to expose her uncle's secret... Did you have any evidence against him?""Yes... I do." She answered, opened her handbag and removed a clip, giving it to Eduardo, She said, "This happened after one month my boss and his wife were killed."Eduardo collected the video quickly, switched on his systems and played it."Oh, my God!" Eduardo murmured and face-palmed, then angrily he said,"I'll take care of this case... You're a wise and brave woman, I don't want anything to happen to you... Your identity and everything about Cindy would be hidden till everything is settled... Are you okay with that?"She nodded and left his office immediately
Chapter forty-threeSaying that he stood up and gently pulled her up.Cindy stood up and followed him, shortly they were standing in front of a very huge door.She looked up at the door and it was just like a door to a king's room like the one she once watched in a movie.She inhaled heavily and took her hand away from his, stepping backwards, she said, "Take me to another room.""Cindy, this is my house and you have to stay where I want you to stay... Is for your safety," He retorted and moving a bit closer to her, he continued, "I have to accept the fact that I am married... Try to be a good wife."He cupped her face and slowly he raised her face to look into her eyes.Cindy shook her head and immediately blinked her eyes and said, "I... I don't think...""Sh!" He shut her up putting his index finger on her lips gently and she kept quiet.He pushed the door open and holding her hand tenderly, they walked in.Cindy shook her head in disbelief, the room she entered was very large with
Chapter forty-fourThen Kate stood up and asked, "So how is your new home?" Doing that, she strides and closed the door."Kate... That's why I'm here, I don't know what to do." Cindy said with a worried voice."You don't know what to do, how?" Kate asked calmly."I'm madly in love with this guy but I don't know how to move about it...."Cutting her words short, Kate asked, "Are you thinking that he might disappoint you later" "Exactly!.... Yeah, that's my fear and secondly, I...I don't even know how to make a man dance to my music.""Oh no, don't say that, I know this is your first time... All kinds of thoughts would be coming into your head till you wave them away." She stood up, pulled her chair closer to her and continued, "Are you not feeling anything for him?" Kate asked."I do... I can't even look at him, anytime I look at him, he always makes me think of doing naughty things in my head." Cindy answered."Can you see?... Now listen to me, I don't think he'll dear try to disap
Chapter forty-five"Okay," Cindy said and pulled herself down from the bed slowly, Eduardo was already on the other side of the bed waiting for her to move closer to the edge of the bed.The moment she came closer to him, he held her hand tenderly and both of them went to the table, sat down and started eating.He scooped ice cream, stretching his arm towards her, she opened her mouth with her eyes closed expecting the spoon to enter her mouth, she didn't know that Eduardo wanted to play with her.She waited for him for a while and when she didn't feel the spoon close to her mouth, she slightly opened her eyes and he tilted gently.He didn't know when she grasped his hand and pushed the spoon into her mouth and they started laughing.Immediately after they finished eating Eduardo went close to the door and pressed one of the buttons.Mara knocked on the door as if she was standing beside the door."Come in," Eduardo answered and she opened the door and walked in.Mara quickly walked t
Chapter forty-sixHe waited patiently for Jessica to go around and pick up one car from the cars parked there and suddenly his phone started buzzing and he picked up."Hello," Eduardo said."Hi boss, where are you?" Dean asked."I'm a little busy right now, what's going on?" Eduardo asked."I just switched on my television and I saw your mother in a press conference... She said a lot of things that confused me and there's a secret behind all the things she said, but as you're busy, don't worry I'll record it ." Dean explained."It's okay Dean, see you later," Eduardo said and disconnected.Jessica picked one of the cars and immediately she stepped closer to him, she noticed he was on call.The moment he dropped his hand, Jessica showed him the car she chose and he paid.Then she entered the car and drove straight home, Eduardo saw how tired Cindy was, so he decided to take her home before going to Dean's place.Immediately they reached home Cindy went straight to the room and laid dow
Chapter forty-sevenThey both left the house and as they were driving down the road, Eduardo mistakingly splashed dirty water on one woman who sales fruit along the road.Cindy was expecting him to stop the car and at least say sorry, but to her greatest surprise, he moved on."Stop the car! Eduardo." Cindy ordered annoyingly, he thought that she needed to buy something around there so he stopped.Cindy opened the car door and carried her purse, she walked down to the women along the road and greeted, "Good day ma'am," "Good day my dear, What do you want?" The woman asked cheerfully.Cindy smiled and said, "I'm very sorry my car splashed dirty water on you." Immediately, she removed her handkerchief and the moment she tried to clean the womens clothes, she stopped her."My dear... This is what we see every day, you have a good heart." The woman said still smiling.Eduardo watched them through the side mirror and if he knew that that was why Cindy stopped him, he wouldn't have stoppe
Chapter seventyHe was driving to one of the streets where he was directed by someone and the person told him that he would find Mrs Rose.Then suddenly he saw Cindy, Mr Black was shocked to see his nephew whom he has forgotten she excited, as he was informed that she was missing.Surprisingly she was with Eduardo, the son to the woman that gave him the information. 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?"

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...

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
