Chapter ten 'Never..., I'll rather die than let anybody know the truth.' Mr Black said in his mind, clearing his throat he stepped down from the bed slowly and strode close to a drawer that only he knows what was inside, And slightly he tap on it with his index finger, after awhile he went back, laid down on the bed and looked at the ceiling. He knew that it was only Cindy that can fight him if she has the means, but now that the whole truth was still hidden between them, he was going to die and be buried with the hidden truth and nobody would discover it. He didn't know that the original file of ownership to the company was with someone that he never thought of and the person has been working in the company for many years. He didn't know that the assistant manager of Mega Link Limited knew the whole truth about everything. She knew that he was the one behind the terror that befall his brother and his family and yet he took over his company. ****** Mrs Rose has been the one tak
Chapter Eleven"That's good, just do the necessary things, and let the managers know about it... anything else?" Eduardo asked."That's all, Sir," Fredrick answered and left.Later on, Eduardo mulled over what Fredrick said, so he decided to host a party for all his workers.All of them had been faithful to the company and hard-working, the sweet part of the whole thing was that non of them has ever make any attempt to steal from the company.He didn't let them know about the preparation, he planned everything to be a surprise for them.******Cindy later joined the dancing group and they were doing very well, even lecturers were recommending the group to friends and family.They've gone to different events to entertain people. Anytime they are presenting, it surprises many because they do it with passion and agility as if they were born into it and that makes their group so different.They grew to the point that they were only invited by wealthy and well-to-do people all over the sta
Chapter TwelveHe was putting on a black shirt and black pants, with a long black jacket that made him look more dangerous and as handsome as inhumanly beautiful demons in fictional books.Immediately, Dean dropped the device driver on the table and smiled seeing how he was standing at the fireplace and his appearance looked fearful.He stood there for a moment before he walked to him and asked,"I hope you're not expecting me to run away from my own... house."Dean said as he strained the last two words."And where did you think you'll run to, you rascal?" Edurado asked lazily, went to a sofa and sit down."Like seriously, you look like an assassin on a mission," Dean said teasingly. He went closer to the table, carried his laptop and gave it to Eduardo."Just pray that you are not the next target," Eduardo said as he smirked at him and collected the laptop from him.Hearing his banter, Dean laughed and sat down close to him and said,"I pray so boss...but before that, I think you sh
Chapter Thirteen"Don't worry about me...mother, I can take care of myself, besides, I'm no longer a kid, I'll be fine." Saying that he ran his fingers through his hair."It's alright my dear, enjoy your day." She said and Eduardo left.She went back and sat down, so the Butler served her meal. She ate till she was satisfied and went into her room to prepare for her day to days activities.Eduardo reached his office very late and as the party was tomorrow he had to let all the workers know.He called Fredrick and immediately he saw his call he picked up."Hello, Sir," He greeted."Meet me in my office," Eduardo requested and disconnected. A few minutes later Fredrick knocked at the door and he answered,"Come in," His voice sounded so peaceful. Fredrick walked into the office and greeted him."Good morning, Mr Eduardo.""Good morning, Fredrick... I want to speak to everyone, just make it quick." Eduardo said and continued with what he was doing, then Fredrick went and informed others
Chapter Fourteen"Sorry about that, Where is my mother?""She didn't tell you before living?" Jessica asked and he was just staring at her."Erm... She has gone back to the state," Jessica answered."You mean, she travelled back to the state?" Eduardo was a bit surprised like his mother had never behaved this way before, then he thought to himself,'Maybe she thought she has succeeded with her mission by bringing this girl to my house, but is that why she didn't even let me know that she was living.' He shrugged and clearing his throat, he asked,"There's a party tomorrow, you can come along, or..." He asked and Jessica didn't bother to think and accepted the offer immediately."Yes! I will go with you." She nodded."Alright till then, make yourself comfortable." He uttered and went to the dining table, he didn't invite her to join him at the dining table at first and that made it clear to Jessica that she had to do some things herself. She was about to go back to her room when she
Chapter FifteenAfter the first dance, the group performed another dance and some people came out to dance with their partners.Jessica waited for Eduardo to ask her for a dance but as she didn't see any sign of him asking, she then decided to ask him, but surprisingly Eduardo rejected her request.Jessica was so angry but it never showed in her expression, she faked a smile anytime Eduardo gazed at her.A few minutes later the group came down to dance with the people, Cindy could be seen dancing in the middle of the hall, and suddenly she felt a hand around her waist."Can I have a dance with you?" She heard a tick and cold voice behind her, she slowly turned and saw a handsome man standing before her."Of course." She responded lowly, she felt she had seen the face somewhere before but she couldn't recall."I'm sorry but do I know you?" Cindy asked staring at the young man but he only smirked without saying a word.Eduardo was so amazed at the dancer's beauty that he couldn't help b
Chapter SixteenEduardo said, though he didn't mean what he said, he only wanted to see the girl's face again. He recalled that she was the dancer at his party days ago but he pretended to not remember.He hasn't felt this way with anyone for a long time, and he doesn't understand what was going on with him."I will be there..." Cindy said and watched the man drove away.Cindy went to kate and said, "I am sorry kate, I caused a lot of havoc."She started crying and kate hugged her tightly, then after a moment she said, "You did the right thing, I am sorry I pushed you into it but don't worry we would sort it out." Kate consoled her.Immediately the car stopped at the shopping mall, Cindy looked at Kate with a questioning eyes but Kate didn't say anything.Kate wiggled a bit and asked, "Surprised?... Oh come on, let go in and pick up some items." Saying that she started walking into the shopping mall and Cindy rushed to stop her, standing in front of Kate, she asked, "kate, like serio
Chapter Seventeen"Why did you buy so much snacks?... Is there something you're not telling me Kate." Cindy asked calmly."It's just for both of us, so prepare your mind, we are going to finish it." Kate said jokingly and speed up.Immediately they got home Kate dropped the bag of snacks on the dinning table and they started eating it.The snacks was very sweet and they ate until they became tired, they went into their rooms take their shower and relaxing a bit, they both slept off.Cindy woke up and it was time to meet Eduardo at the mechanic shop.She prepared quickly, after that, she removed the card Eduardo gave to her and called one of his numbers.The phone rang but there was no answer then after some minutes she tried calling him again and he picked."Hello." Eduardo answered and Cindy greeted."Hi, send me the address to the mechanic shop." She requested."Come and meet me at that same spot the accident happened." Eduardo said and disconnected.Eduardo went back to that very s
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
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
