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 Eighteen"Okay! Just tell me, how did you want it to be paid." Cindy asked annoyingly."Did we by any means quarrel?...just get into the car, I can take you to wherever you are going to." He requested again."Does it look like we are in good terms?... Just tell me, how do you want your payment to be done, you asshole." She cursed as she waited for him to talk but he didn't, so angrily she walked away.******The next day, Cindy prepared to go back home that morning but Kate delayed her, till the evening around 4.30 pm before she left Kate's place.Her house was a bit far from Kate's place so she had to start going.Kate took her to the park where she would get a bus that would take her home, so she entered and they bid goodbye to each other.****** From Kate's place to Cindy's house is a journey of three hours which means that she was going to reach home late.She has spent weeks in Kate's house and she enjoyed herself with Kate who was there keeping her busy and finally, she
Chapter Nineteen"I know you really need this, but if you insist, there is no problem. I'll keep it here in case you change your mind." He went and dropped it on a table.He stood there for a moment before he ran his fingers through his hair and walked away.She rejected the food and the clothes Eduardo gave to her and that pains him so much.Immediately he touched the doorknob, he heard her moaning softly, then he turned and looked back.Cindy decided to go to bed as he was about to leave the room but out of pain she moaned, she didn't know that she was hurt that much.She rolled her eyes and tried to pretend, but the pain was still much, and then she sat back on the sofa.He saw what happened, so he slowly walked back to the sofa where she was sitting and Squat down.He raised her left leg and placed it on his lap, "What are trying to do?" She asked."To help you of course." He answered shortly and gently pulled her gown up a bit.He was shocked to see that the hit of the car was mu
Chapter TwentyMr Jackson explained, and then Cindy went into the sitting room and sat down angrily. Suddenly she heard footsteps coming towards the sitting room,"Come... Let me take you home." Eduardo said.Hearing his voice Cindy jolted and stood up instantly, she placed her palm on her forehead and exhaled heavily.After a moment she removed her hand from her forehead and started looking around the sitting room, she wanted to see Bernita again before she left the house but Bernita was nowhere to be found.She entered the car and Eduardo drove out of the compound, reaching the first junction that lead to Eduardo's house, he saw a car parked in the middle of the road.Those guys parked in the middle of the road and immediately they saw Eduardo's car coming in their direction they started acting as if their car broke down in the middle of the road.Eduardo knew it was a trick, he knew that it was those guys after her, so before they reached the sport where they were, he looked at her
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?" 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

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
