Chapter twenty-one"I've lost my appetite, just go to your room, I'll see you later." He went into his room and banged the door.Then Cindy quickly cleared the table and went into her room.The moment her body touched the bed, she felt relaxed and safe. Not wasting any seconds, she slept off.******The year has finally come to an end so Mrs Rose divided the total income the same way she normally does yearly.Mrs Rose has never failed to pay into her late boss's account, annually, she has taken this risk for years and she's still doing it for the sake of her late boss.Mrs Rose knew that if Mr Black had noticed that she has been paying into an unknown account all these years, she would've been a dead person by now.But because of the pain, she has been through since her late boss died.She was still taking that risk to make sure she avenged the death of her boss and his wonderful wife.She wanted to save enough money from the company for the rightful owner of the company.She wanted t
Chapter Twenty-twoHe cleared his throat and said, "Cindy he is my boss I've been talking about and boss, she is my sister and her name is Cindy."Cindy smiled and left the sitting room.Eduardo looked at her till she vanished. He turned and looking at him harshly, he said, "Dean!... You never told me you have a sister, how come, you now have a sister?"He sat down on the sofa and carried the bottle of water and gulped, he exhaled heavily and asked, "Who is she, Dean?... You know I can not believe the trash you vomited a few minutes ago."Dean laughed, obviously he knew that he was not going to take that cock-and -bull story he just told him.Then Dean now thought that there was no need to hide her identity from him, he has fought for her even in his absence so he deserve to know her.After a moment he said, "She's the same girl you knocked down a few years ago, can you remember the accident that happened that you told me a girl was involved?" Dean asked."Yes, I do." He answered."Di
Chapter twenty-threeEduardo was angry, then the following morning he went to his office as early as possible and get rid of the work on his table.Looking at his phone he saw a text, 'The job is done, boss.'Immediately after that, he called Dean to meet him in a restaurant very close to his house.Dean quickly put on his shirt and went out to meet him.He was already in the restaurant when he arrived. He entered the restaurant and slowly, he walked up to him and said,"Dean, I don't think this place is safe, can we talk in my car?" He asked and Dean nodded, both of them walked side by side till they stepped out of the restaurant.They both entered his car and Dean asked, "What's going on?"Eduardo started his car and answered, "I want you to meet someone." "Okay, where is this person?" Dean asked."Relax Dean, we are going to my mask house to see him," Eduardo said and drove away.******On the other hand, Mr Black heard about what happened to those guys that were working for him b
Chapter twenty-fourThe woman went to a cabin and didn't find what she wanted so she went out of her office without a word.Cindy knew that the company was not like all those small companies around the state, so she prepared herself very well for the interview but somehow she still had a seed of fear in her.Mrs Mark Janet came back to her office and noticed that Cindy was still standing."Oh... Where are my manners," She murmured, "Miss Cindy, please come and have a sit." Saying that she pointed the chair at her front, then she went and sat down.Cindy went closer to the office table and sat down, she was thinking of the kind of question that she might ask her, but after a few minutes the woman left again, and she came back again smiling.Mrs Mark Janet saw how she was sitting.She could tell on her own that tension was eating Miss Cindy up already.So without wasting any more time, Mrs Mark started the interview.She asked Cindy some difficult questions that seems to be hard for the
Chapter twenty-fiveShe stood there speechlessly, she knew how to ask questions but her worried mind made her unable to even ask a single question, then he said, "I have been waiting for you to woke up all this while, we have to leave now, it's time to go.""Wait... Where is this place?" She asked looking around the room."Well... It's a place I normally rest anytime I want to have a break."He said and she looked around again, doing that she uttered,"O, my God... It has no door." "Come on Cindy, it has, but I am the only one that knows the code."He said and Cindy can't wait to see how he was going to open it.He went close to the wall side where the door was located and raised his left palm and the door became visible with the button on it, then he pressed the code and the door opened.They went into the office and Eduardo picked up his car keys only and then she carried her purse and wanted to pick up the file."You don't need the file, Miss Cindy, let's get out of here." He sai
Chapter twenty-sixHe walked straight to her and asked, "Hey... Why are you on black?"She looked at him coyly and somehow she was amazed at his question.Her dress was not that bad but he wanted her to always look like the first day she came to the company for an interview.She kept quiet because she believed that her dress wasn't bad.Then Eduardo stared at her for a moment as she was fidgeting, and then he said, "Follow me." And she followed him immediately.They entered the left and the moment the lift stopped, he walked out of the lift but Cindy was carried away in her thought, still standing in the left.'Why would he ask me that kind of question? Maybe he doesn't like a girl putting on...'He walked back and snap his fingers on her face and she jolted.The moment she realized herself, the lift wanted to close, but he held it with his hands till she stepped out of the left.Eduardo took her to where the inter's are working, reaching there, one of the managers was already with th
Chapter twenty-sevenKenny heard Anita's voice and quickly went to Cindy's table to know why Anita was yelling."You slut... Gold digger, because of money you're selling your body to the... ""Anita!... Stop that! How are you sure she was the one who took the file?" She paused the moment she heard Kenny's voice.Kenny asked and Matthew stood up and said, "Oh... Kenny, she was the one that left the office last yesterday and all of us heard when Anita announced that the particular document that is missing was on her table.""And does that mean that she was the one who took the document from her table?" Kenny asked, trying to defend her but others were accusing her without a doubt.The moment he got there, he heard Anita calling Cindy all manner of names and the worst thing was that she wanted to sack herself from the company with her mouth, Kenny reported the whole issue to the managers, so they called Cindy to come and see them in the hall where they normally have their meetings.It
Chapter twenty-eightOn the other hand, Eduardo finished preparing for work and the moment he opened the main door, he saw Jessica driving into his compound then his feet halted halfway to his car.Slowly she walked up to him and paced around him, doing that she uttered, "Hello, darling... How was your night, I came to spend some days with you.""Are you nut?" He asked with an ice voice and Jessica jolted."I made it clear to you the last time you were in my office... Jessica, there's no place for you in my heart and I don't have anything to do with you, Leave my house."He said and went into his car before Jessica turned around to retort, she found out that he has gone.Eduardo never knew what peace and joy were like, till Cindy showed up and now that Cindy has started moving away from him, his dark and cold nature was gradually showing up again.After he left, Jessica tried her best to enter Eduardo's house but the Butler refused, then angrily she drove off from Eduardo's place.And
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
Chapter sixty-eightAfter some minutes, he called the waiter and demanded for him to package some meals for him.The moment they were done with the whole thing, they gave him his bills; so he cleared the bills and they left.******Dean walked into the house happily the moment he arrived at Madam Ponny's place."Yeah - huh, here comes the Daddy in the house," Eduardo said Immediately Dean came to his view."Boss, I really appreciate your caring..." 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

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
