Looking at the crowd outside, she lost, but he hold her by the hand causing her to flinch."Hey…I'm right here with you, ok?" He then warms up a smile at her."Let's do this, the smile on her face widened a little, seeing Adriel come out of the car, she waited for him to open up the car, camera vigorously snapping and taking long and short shorts.He opens up the passenger seat, holding out his her for her as a passenger princess, taking his hand with her right hand and clutching her purse, immediately. she came to light everyone gasps."She's indeed beautiful, Mr. Alvarez must be lucky," holding her perfectly, she gave a slight wave at the cameras with a warm smile, then whispered to Adriel."I think I'm good," he smiles then walks away with her into the party. The moment she walked, it was a stop-and-stare moment, everyone's gaze fell on the two couples who were believed to have married, seeing the awesome beauty he married, some ladies were not having it as they gnashed their tee
"It's so sad how you think you belong here where officially you don't." Attention was beginning to draw towards their table, what other fight was hotter than an ex-girlfriend and present wife fight? Sighting the trouble ahead, Adriel turned to Omar."I think I have to leave, Sasha's going nuts again." "I'm coming with you," he added following suit, as soon as he go to the scene he wraps his hands around her waist taking both Lola and Sasha by surprise."Is he aware of her pregnancy?" Sasha thought deeply as she stared at the hand that hugged the rude lady."Is there a problem, Sasha? You're just coming, aren't you? I'd like it if you cause less trouble for us and do not sabotage this deal for us three."She was the one who troubled me first, I can't believe you're taking her side." Sasha grunts, Adriel squinted his eyes at her."Who was he supposed to defend? She??" How preposterous." Just then, one of the Watson brothers arrived, apparently Lola imagine two young brothers or possibl
Hearing the loud crashing sound from outside, Diane rushes out to meet the scene but no Lola, she began panicking, it felt unreal and so timed to when Lola exited the hall, she didn't even have her number, everyone was beginning to gather."Lola!"She yelled, but no Lola was in sight."Quit playing, where the hell are you?!" She called this time with her voice breaking in fear, it couldn't be what she was thinking. It can't be what she thought of, right?" Her subconscious mind says to her.Distracted by the noise and curious about what was happening outside, The Watson brothers alongside other people, with Adriel and Omar, decided to go check what the problem was."It was an abduction, "one of the ladies says to Adriel's hearing."Abduction? Who was the target and why was the party?"Everywhere had become rowdy, people leaving one after another, camera flashes everyone, he turned to where he had left Lola with Diane a few minutes ago, but they weren't there."Oh hell no, don't tell me t
Adriel matched into the police station with Omar, behind him only for him to meet another drama at the station there was Sasha's mother, who was on the brink of tearing down the entire place ranting and calling out to him. The cops looked exhausted this had been going on a whole time."I want to see Adriel and ask him why he would lock up my daughter without any evidence that she did it?" She points aggressively at the cop, looking behind to see Adriel standing there ignited anger."Your daughter for now is the prime suspect with her recent stunts I'm sure you know what going on and what would happen."Hearing his voice she squinted her brows at him angrily."Is this some sort of revenge or games? This is unacceptable!!!! She was once your everything how could everything just change because of one random secretary…." She sneered.Looking at the old woman, it was just age that was a hindrance to getting his true feelings across."That was not until she crossed the line and toyed with f
.... Back in the City, Adriel walks into the house to see his mother and Roy, she rushed to him."Have they found her?"She asked in a panic, Adriel looked at his mom, if she were not to get any rest her blood pressure might shoot up again and that wouldn't be fair, he wouldn't want to lose two people that are important to him, actually three.Adriel's eyes saddened, as he looked at his mother his eyes turned red fought back the tears as a man, then takes his seat Leaving the two in high suspense."What's happening now, Adriel say something.""The cops are still looking for her, apparently this is a personal grudge-related case as the person up until now had not called for a Ransome or something." He stated, if he should get his hands on such a person, heads would roll for sure."Oh, my goodness? My poor Lola. What is she is a victim of a target for your enemies." "She's pregnant. Lola was pregnant."He announced sadly, "Now both my baby and wife are in grave danger." Mrs. Alvarez di
.."Am sorry, please tamper mercy "Beads of sweat broke out from his face, and his palms were extremely sweaty."Mercy?"He turned to him."How can you do this? I've served you why your enemy lies behind us peacefully". He was trying to save his neck. Ben was a sly and heartless man, he didn't think twice before pulling the trigger, just like his boss, the only person he feared."you're right, this is unfair. You can leave and do not speak of this to anyone ". He said putting the pistol down, the doctor heaved a big sigh of relief."Thank you, Boss" he bent and hurriedly picked up his medical kit rushing to the door, a loud bang was heard, and the Doctor froze, as his entire body became extremely hot, looking at his chest to see blood oozing out, he fell on his knees, looking at the Ben, before the darkness consumed him."Bastard" the boss cursed to be turned to the hefty bodyguards. "Throw him into the sea". He added he was an agile man around the mid-fifties but one would not beli
..There was a slight knock on the door."Come in"his mother walked in with his favorite coffee in her hands. She looked at how messy he had made the room. The entire room was in shambles."Did a tornado blow in here? She asked quietly at Gabriel but he instead had a hurtful laugh."Look at the moon tonight, Mom. It shone brighter tonight. Is that a sign that they are safe or they are dead? He sighs ignoring her question."Well, for me I think it's a sign that your unborn baby and your wife are ok," she said with a shaky voice, not sounding convincing enough.Even she doubted her hunch."Mom, why does it seem harder for one when he decides to change for the better?"Well, the tougher the challenges the tougher you'd be. Let's be hopeful that she's fine and your baby too". She smiled sadly."I'm tired of being hopeful. Now I just want to see if she's okay, waiting is draining my leftover strength."He confessed."Here, have this coffee, I didn't make it like Lola's but I know it would r
"Hey Patricia, get ready I will be having an emergency meeting with the Chinese investors by 11am today, pass this message across to them" Adriel said before sipping the last coffee content in his tea cup."Ok Mr. Alvarez" Patricia said as she turned to leave but remembered she had an important message to deliver."Sorry Mr. Alvarez, a letter was brought here by an unknown person and was asked to be delivered to you" Patricia said, handing over a brown envelope to his Boss."And what was written on it?" Adriel asked to bring out a document file from his large drawer, which he is going to use for the Chinese investors meeting."I don't know Mr. Alvarez, I think you're the one meant to read the letter, maybe it's important because it was delivered early this morning by an unknown man who claims to have a message you need in the envelope" Patricia mouthed"Okay you can keep it on my table while you go prepare for the meeting, we have less than 2 hours for the meeting" Adriel commanded he
One month later………Lola and her mom sat under a flower tree in an open-spaced garden at the back of their mansion taking some natural air, this has been a daily routine for Mrs Fredrick and Lola after their daily exercise since she came back.Lola's delivery date is already around the corner, and with the help of her mother, Lola was able to shop for the necessary things for her baby. The family doctor is always coming to check on Lola's health to know how fit she is for delivery since she came to stay with them.As they sat under the flower tree discussing and talking about so many things and cracking jokes. Lola felt a sharp pain in her abdomen, at first she didn't take it as an important thing but as the pain continued she had to open up to her Mom."Mom I don't know how my body is reacting, my abdomen is …….ahhhh" "What's it Lola," Mrs Fredrick said, rushing to hold her from falling."Mom, please call the doctor, I think we need to go to the hospital now," Lola said, placing her
The next day…….."Hey Mom good morning" Lola greeted Mrs Fredrick bringing her out of her reverie."Hey Lola good morning" Mrs Fredrick greeted back."Hope you had a good night's rest," she asked Lola."Yes Mom, who sleeps in a beautiful mansion like this and will deny having a good night rest" Lola teased her Mom."Ha ha ha ha" Lola you're funny."Mom, what about Dad and my sister?" Lola asked."Dad has gone to work and same with your sister" Mrs Fredrick replied."Oh so we will be staying at home alone," Lola asked her mom."Not really we will be visiting the doctor after your breakfast," Mrs Fredrick said smiling."Okay Mom, so what are you cooking that is smelling so delicious," Lola asked sniffing around."Smiles, Lola you won't stop being funny always the same attitude when you are tender," Mrs Fredrick said remembering how noisy the whole building was when Lola was a child, you can only stop hearing her noisy sound whenever she feels like sleeping or asleep. Gentle but very fun
Lola's Dilemma…...Lola was confused at first about how to settle down in a city she knew nothing about, together with the issue of her missing her pictures, video, and information about her all over the internet. She was scared people will notice she is the one even though her looks have changed a little because of her pregnancy she still wants to disguise herself so she can escape and live with her baby, but to survive in that city she has to work or sort for refuge under a good Samaritan.Firstly she has to go barb her hair making her look younger than her age and a different Lola everyone is looking for, she removed her expensive clothes and started wearing rags but her suffering increased every day by day she wanders around the city disguising herself as a beggar so she can be pitted by passerby, who give her alms and with what she was able to get from her savings she decided to go look for a suitable accommodation to lay her head and probably look for a part-time work.She was w
At around 3:30 pm she was still taking a nap when the sound of her phone alarm rang waking her from sleep, she picked up the phone and looked at the time. It's 3:30 pm and it's time for her to start preparing for her meeting with Adriel.She went inside her room and quickly took her bath, settling on a simple pink short gown revealing almost half of her lap with a black low heel and a black bag. With no makeup, she lined her lips with red lipstick and arranged her hair in a ponytail style using the mirror in her room. She looked at herself once more and she was good to go.Coming out of her room she met her mom busy watching her favorite TV show, she didn't want her disturbance, if there is a way she can walk past her without her mom asking her questions about her whereabouts it could have been better, but she knew that such questions must certainly come whenever she wants to go out. "Hi Mom, I'm stepping out" Sasha greeted."Where on earth do you think you're going without my consent
Continuation “Lola is Diane’s elder sister” Omar released the bomb.“That’s unbelievable Omar, you know how strange people claim to have a connection with someone they have nothing in common with once they see that the person has risen to fame,” Adriel said, disregarding the information.“But that’s not the case here Adriel, she has proved what she showed me and I think that might be true, maybe we should try finding out” Omar suggested.“I don’t believe that’s true Omar and we have an important issue to solve instead of going to find the truth in such information,” Adriel said resting his head on the sofa.“Well if you say so, but I think getting more information about Lola’s Origin will help us find her instead of going about searching for her.” Omar mouthed.“Omar you talk as if you don’t know that time is running behind and she is pregnant and might give birth any time soon, we need to act fast so we can secure Lola and the baby, what if something happens to them while we are busy
Adriel woke up in the morning sitting down at the edge of his bed, he ran his fingers through the hair on his head. He couldn't believe that Lola was no longer by his side.The past four months of his life have been a life lived on everyday regret, without knowing what else to do. He has always regretted losing the kind Lola who always cared and loved him, but still, he couldn't appreciate but rather overlook it.Now he knows what exactly Lola means to him, he has missed waking up to see a woman who loves him bring in a cup of coffee with beams of a smile on her face saying good morning.It was as if his whole life was starting afresh, he was still in deep thoughts as he didn't know when tears started falling down his cheeks. He raised his head just to see a picture frame of himself and Lola in their wedding dress. The picture reminds him of the day he accepted to be with Lola till death departed them, yet he couldn't fulfill the promise he once made in the presence of his family memb
Lola's POV "True, but he'll never get to see that thing in your womb, I'll make sure of that. Don't worry I won't hurt your baby, it's innocent but I'll father the child and you'll be my wife and we'll live happily ever after, no Adriel to disturb our lives" those words bang on Lola's head leaving her to wonder what kind of man Ben is.Fear took over her body, when wasn't thinking about herself and the baby anymore rather about the plans of Ben to eliminate Adriel.She regretted ever coming close to Ben, she didn't know that Ben is this evil not to talk of killing an innocent soul in her presence so she is now clear that Ben can do whatever he has decided to do.He wants to reach Adriel and ask him not to come for her, she can escape from Ben's trap by all means, but how is she going to escape when she is heavily pregnant."Ben I beg of you don't harm Adriel he didn't do you any bad, rather kill me" Lola said looking at Ben who isn't looking at her but was determined to follow his h
"I can't imagine life without her, Omar," Adriel confessed, his voice filled with both vulnerability and determination. "I need to find her and make things right. I've realized how much she means to me."Omar nodded, a supportive smile gracing his face. "I believe you, Adriel. If anyone can make things right, it's you. But remember, winning her back won't be easy. You have to show her that you've changed, that you're willing to fight for her.""But I have tried my best Omar, we just finished searching for her where she was kidnapped, but we couldn't find her" Adriel said looking at Omar."Where do you think we can find now? She is nowhere to be found, where on earth do you think she is going to be right now." Adriel asked, looking at Omar."But guy, do you know anything about Lola's family or any of his members?" Omar asked, looking at Adriel who was still busy with his phone."Family???" Adriel asked"Yes, I mean do you know more about her or did you just get married without knowing
After a few months had passed since the kidnapping of Lola, he was slowly losing his mind, he couldn't concentrate on anything at that spot.Adriel found himself unable to shake off the thoughts of Lola from his mind. The memories of their time together lingered like an invisible thread, constantly tugging at his heart. He couldn't deny it any longer— he was in love with Lola and couldn't imagine his life without her.Adriel had spent countless nights reflecting on his actions, replaying their last moments together in his mind. He realized that he had taken Lola for granted, not fully appreciating her presence until she was no longer by his side. The realization hit him like a wave of regret, and he knew he had to do something to win her back."Shit so love hurts like while, why is it hard when someone wants to change and live a life he has already desired to live, while will karma deal with me so badly that it's taking my joy away"The big picture frame of Adriel and Lola on their we
