It's been a month since the boss went away with Lola, the office had missed his usual scolding and aura. It was Monday, the same day everyone who had a job or any activity at all to attend was extra serious. Adriel was seen in his room, trying on his blue suit with matched perfectly with the pants and leather shoes he wore, he grabbed his black leather briefcase and walked down the stairs.There she was dressed in her simple body hug purple gown with a few diamond stones on it, her hair was perfectly laid in a low ponytail which brought out her perfectly shaped face, her light makes up match seamlessly with her outfit, with the black 6- inch heels, she held on to a brown file and her small black designer bag which Mrs. Alvarez got for her before her travel to Ohio.Seeing him in his blue suit, with which he looked dashing and ravishing in, she couldn't help but fall in love all over again, the look on his face meant it was time for business. She quic
"Ms. Gracia? What are you doing here?" Director Evans sprout up like a plant that had just received sunshine for the first time."Ain't I meant to be here?" She fired back, he frowned instantly, Lola was Adriel's backbone over the years when it came to making sensible decisions regarding the company. Many had offered her high-paying jobs just so she could leave the company, but for some reason, she was so loyal and obligated to Adriel which makes them wonder what he had or what he was doing to keep his staff loyal to him. She was very calculative and fast in doing something fishy, now she was married to him, there was no way they could eliminate her now, apparently, they thought the duo did not relate well enough after the marriage, why was she volunteering to help out."You are just a mere secretary, apparently ex-secretary, Mrs. Patricia had taken over, so let her do her job right". He fired back, she glanced at Ms. Patty, then took a seat close to her.
In a few minutes, the ambulance arrived and immediately put her on the stretched, She watched them carry Lola into the ambulance, something was vibrating on the floor, it was her cell phone with a caller Adriel, she immediately picked up."Lola, where the hell are you!". He was getting impatient, the bartender cleared her throat still panicking."Sorry, who are you to the lady?" He asked."What the………. Who the hell are you? And what are you doing with Lola's phone?" His voice Instantly broke into worry."Calm down, am not that, just that?" He didn't know how to tell the caller."What happened to my Wife? She was just literally on her way to work!" He yelled, he could sense a slap from the guy who was with him physically "She collapsed, I didn't know ok! She was in a fight with a certain lady, they got into a banter then fainted and lost consciousness" "What!!! Oh, my freaking goodness!!! You asshole!!!!" Where is she!!!" He
His charming and angelic face called out to her, she felt guilty, she didn't tell him she was leaving, well they had been fighting a lot lately, she avoided her gaze."Hey, I thought you left already?" Camille turned to him. she didn't want Lola to know he had been with Sasha."She's awake?" He turns to her."Why didn't you tell me you were leaving I was dead worried,""Adriel? Don't you think the scolding should wait?" Camille held her hand squeezing it a bit."No, not really…I'm sorry I didn't inform anyone I was leaving." Her eyes fell, with her head bowed, Adriel couldn't stay mad at her for long, he walked taking a seat next to her, taking the hair blocking her view, Camille cleared her throat."I'll be going now, you two need your time alone." She teased, Lola lets out a small laugh."Thank you, Camille." They shared a hug, taking her bag as she walked out of the ward.Watching from afar, she watches Camille leave the ward, Sasha burning in jealousy."Take this test to the doc
"What are you doing?" Mrs. Alvarez asked seeing her trying to get herself water from the kitchen, Lola finally left the hospital though still weak but all through the ride, Mrs. Alvarez kept asking her if she was ok."I just wanted to get water for myself," she added, looking all confused."Did you not just return from the hospital? Leave all these to Roy." She paused then turned to Roy, "Get her water,""Yes ma'am," Roy grin did not go unnoticed by Lola, as he walked away."Let me take you to your room," Adriel walked in, with her things from the hospital, his mother turned to her."Can I have the keys to your room?" Adriel looked at Lola, as she exchanged the same glance, seeing the two were silent."What's with the look on your faces?" His mother asked, looking at the two adults who had been living practically as strangers in their own house."Don't tell me that you two sleep in separate rooms?" Seeing the matter was likely to escalate, he had to stop it ."Mom, it's not what you t
"No no no, not now". Her face almost going pale, not now this drama with Sasha, Adriel doesn't look like who wanted a future with her, the door opened closing behind her, she flinched.Seeing it was Adriel who walked in,"Oh my gosh! You startled me," she frowned holding on to her chest, he scoffed."Why are you startled? Are you hiding something from me to be startled?" He asked, her eyes skipped as she rolled her eyes."Whatever," she sneers walking away and taking her seat on the bed."It's so funny how quickly we switch moods," "You should tell yourself that," she replied, deeply thinking of what to do, removing the pregnancy was not an option. This band was a better bridge to amend their relationship, more like an assurance to him than Sasha."What are you thinking about?" He asked, bringing her back to reality."Huh?" She jerked a bit, turning to him with a small frown on her face."None of your
"Ok, no problem on that, you should be leaving," he stated, she rolled her eyes."It's not like I was staying anyways," she lets out a deep long hiss before walking out.Watching her leave, he turned to Stone,"I want you to keep me updated on her plans, watch her closely, she's up to something unpleasant." He added."Yes Boss," Stone replied curtly then turned to leave."Sorry to burst your bubbles, Sasha but I have to do this to know what you're truly up to." Watching her enter her car, she flashed twice, before starting her car engine, reverse then driving off....Seated in the doctor's office, she fiddled with her fingers as she continuously tapped her legs as she waited for the nurse to come with the result. It had been an hour she had been waiting, the doctor looked at her then tried to calm her down."Mrs. Alvarez, I don't think you should get all worked up about this. You ought to be resting." Sh
Chapter Seventy- FiveSomewhere in another country…. The beauty of the country was still beautiful as every house added to the beauty of the colorful view. Seated a mid-aged woman, she sat as she tapped her foot to the rhythm of her anger, the door opened, and Diane walked in, staggering as she tried to hold her balance, she bolted the door so hard, making the already dozing woman jerk up from sleep. For a while, she was scared but seeing her twenty years old daughter stagger in like who had head drunk away her sorrows.With utter disappointment, she called."Diane! What does it say about your time? Where are you coming from reeking of alcohol like this?" His face squeezed into a frown."The bar of course," she staggered, holding on to the car as support, "that's the only place that gives me the happiness that I need." She yelled, her mother took a good look at her, with her eyes painted in pity."Diane, why are you doing this to me?" She tried to summon close to her to help her.
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
