"Sir, your daughter needs a blood transfusion. She has lost alot of blood and needs them transfused back to her" the doctor walked out and said to him." I will donate my blood to her, where should I follow you too? We need to be fast about it as she's loosing blood like you said" he said." Please follow me sir" one of the nurses beckoned to him and he began walking with her to her unit where she was to draw his blood ."I'll take a few samples and run some tests over it to know whether the blood match" she said " Okay. Sure. Though I do not see the need for you to waste time doing that. She needs blood urgently, and running tests over my blood would be a waste of time. I am her father"" I know sir but to be sure, it is extremely notable for all bloods to be tested before they get transfused to patients" she tried to persuade him. A man walked in and he noticed how they all exchanged pleasantries, which made him guess they knew him before.The nurse took his blood sample which she
No matter how he tried to take his mind off what he had witnessed, he couldn't and the more he tried, he more he recalled what the man had said to him."Stop fighting for things that are not yours". He spoke like someone who had had a personal e counter with him sometimes but no matter how hard he recked his brain, he couldn't figure out where and how he might have run into him anytime in the past.Walking back from the stairs to Ward 5, he stood by the bed of the room, staring at his daughter who was sleeping. She had already stopped bleeding and her cut wound had been covered with bandages.His eyes darted to her hand and he watched as the blood flowed into her, his heart begining to burn once again as it was not his blood that had been going into her. He turned from looking at her and found his way out of the ward, heading to the doctor's office.******Lucas made his way back to the doctor's office his mind racing. "Excuse me, doctor" he said."Can you please explain to me why my
Genevieve was at the hospital. It had been days before she decided to finally come. It wasn't her fault, Lucas wouldn't dare blame her for what he had caused. It was because of him she had gotten angry and destroyed most of their household items. She had replaced them too, with her money. It was not as if she depended on him to do it, so he wouldn't dare cast the blame on her. He was the reason their daughter was in such state. Walking in she noticed him walking around ward the nanny had told her Maya was in. What did he want, she wondered.Was he bent on ruining her now that she had become the wife of the governor.Watching on, she noticed Lucas who was in the room but had his eyes on him even as he was outside the ward room. Her heart jumped. Was she already suspecting whom he was. He couldn't be and shouldn't. Why in the first place would Claude be at the hospital.Calling him with her phone, he ignored the first call but then calling him the second time and watching him watch her
It was the wee hours of the morning, Lucas had returned to the hospital hoping to see Maya before heading to the White House.The doctor had informed them that she would be awake at any time and he was patiently hoping that she would be awake when he was by her side.Following the lane that lead to the ward Maya was in, he spotted a suspicious man.Walking closer the man didn't budge and then as he noticed that he had come closer to him, he dropped a file by the foot of the door to the room and turned to leave. Locking eyes with him before he did.He immediately recognized him, it was the man from the other day who had argued with him about donating blood to his daughter the other day.Curious about what he had dropped before leaving, he immediately picked the file he had dropped at the door up, sensing that it might contain an information partaning to him.Inside the ward, Maya was still in unconscious but her breathing had become normal, unlike how it had been the other past few day
Claude noticed the car that was following him. The driver has done a bad job at hiding or perhaps he wanted him to know that he was following him.He knew whom it was and for that, he did not speed up his car.. Arriving at his home, he parked his car at the front and stood at the gate, waiting for the man to follow him into the house.On sighting him, he had immediately descended on him, punching him severely as he gained an advantage over him because he had been entering the house.Lucas received more than five punches from him before he gained his balance back and returned the punch."How dare you? Stay away from my daughter. What are you so obsessed with her. Stay away from my family" he screamed as he continued to punch him back before he pushed him away.Both of their faces red from the punches." Your family?" He replied and began laughing."They don't belong to you" he said and laughed again."She's my daughter, why would you say she is your family" he added and continued to la
The smell of drugs filled Genevieve's nostrils as she waited behind with her driver in her car, waiting for Claude to step out of his car to the clinic he had come to.He was still inside his car dulling away time, as if he knew someone had been waiting for him to leave the car.For Genevieve, he might have been wasting her time, but she found it helpful as it afforded a thug she had called, arrive even before he stepped out.Closing the car doors and leaving the parking lot into the clinic he had come to, Genevieve nodded at the man who drove his own car, into the empty space that was by Claude's car.Hearing the opening and closing of car doors, she heaved a sigh of relief as what she had come for had been successfully done.She instructed her driver to drive off and as they did, Claude had come out of the clinic by then and he saw the back of the departing car."Genevieve?" He muttered, on seeing the cars plate number, knowing that was the number of her car.His mind wondered what
"You don't want to read it?" He asked her, noticing that she did not pick up the DNA test result he had thrown on the table for her to read."I do not need to read it"she replied, defenseless and utterly lost not knowing which of her attitudes to put on."You always knew then" me muttered at her, his voice laced with the pain he felt."I did but couldn't tell you. You said you loved babies, so I couldn't possibly abort her. So I gave her to you as yours. I gifted her to you. It's not that bad"" You fucking tricked me Genevieve. You made me look like a fool fighting for a daughter that was not mine!!!!" He fired at her, caring not whether they were at the hospital or not." You can't possibly blame me Lucas, it's also your fault!!" She fired back. The room had a sound system, so even if she screamed her lungs out, it would be hard for her voice to affect the peace of the patient in the next room. "It's all your fault" she continued."You never loved me!!! You always hated me and cons
Lucas angrily walked to his car at the parking lot. His anger was visible all over his face and a distasteful look was etched all over him.He didn't know what to think, he just sat down for the next few minutes, sighing countlessly while thinking.His phone buzzed, it was Le Faye.His eyes glinted. A perfect timing by her to call him, what a perfect timing, she was made in heaven for him.He thought.Meanwhile, Faye had overheard all they discussed from her room. Her phone had been with her the whole while and had started playing from Lucas' phone which she had tapped.Hearing his sighs from her end, she had thought it the perfect opportunity to call him. To calm him down, to be the angel."How are you today Lucas?" She asked him, pretending not to know what had happened."To be honest, I cannot tell, I feel like doing something unthinkable, but I cannot fathom how to. I feel so empty" he said." Can you come to the villa? I'll go there and wait for you" she assured him." I will" he
Morgana's heart was heavy as she walked into the airport. Going to Italy seemed to be the only solution to the guilt she felt. No, that wasn't what she wanted. That was never what she had envisaged her revenge to end up as. It took a different turn because of Lucas' decision. All she had planned, the years and efforts she had wasted hoping to put Genevieve behind bars where she would be a prisoner of her thoughts, of her fall and that of her family's, where she and her father would have no one else to blame for what had befallen them but themselves, it all seemed to be bygones now. Her eyes darted to the screen and the news being announced. "Good evening. Breaking news tonight from Montenegro, a series of shocking revelations and tragic events have captivated both national and international audiences, making waves across the internet. The controversy began with the arrest of Theodore Montenegro, the former governor of Montenegro, whose recent trial took an unexpected turn.
"This is your fall Genevieve, whether you like it or not. This is your fall" Morgana muttered as she continued to struggle with her in the locked car, using all her might regardless of the knife that had been driven to her belly to reach out to the car controls to open the car doors."I will never fall, especially not at your hands. I will keep my head up high. I will keep rising. I will never fall!!!" Genevieve continued screaming as they struggled with each other.Successfully unlocking the cars doors, Morgana stepped out trying to run away amidst the stab wound in her belly.Nathaniel came rushing to where she was, pushing Genevieve who tried to assault her the more right into the car.Lucas had arrived and on coming down from his car to behold the stab wound on the already weak Morgana, he took the driver's seat of the car Genevieve had been pushed into.Nathaniel carried Morgana to the opposite lane and tried calling an ambulance while awaiting the arrival of the police he had c
"Miss Genevieve, I will do you the favor of walking you out of the classroom ma'am. Consider it my last form of respect to you who was once the head of the school's Parent's Teachers Association" Morgana said and motioned Genevieve to the door but she didn't seem to budge, still drowned in thoughts of what she had said to her earlier." Ma'am, I'll plead with you to stay outside now. I wouldn't want my guests to be frightened when the police come for you" Morgana sought to add and it seemed as if her last sentence struck a chord with Genevieve as she began to walk away, while she, followed her, leading her to the door." Say, why don't you follow me to the crime scene Morgana? Wouldn't you want to pay your last respects to your parents as well? I heard you never found their body. That's so much you could do yet brag so loudly and vainly" Genevieve said to her as they reached outside, finally finding her voice in the privacy engulfing the both of them at the passage way.Morgana batted
Morgana was discussing with some parents when she noticed Genevieve walking towards her. It was a rare sight considering the face that she had been declared wanted by the police. Standing up to meet her, Morgana couldn't help but taunt her. It was her downfall she had come for. The downfall of the driver that had hit her mother."Mrs Genevieve, or is it Miss? I do not know what title to refer you by, the news about the divorce is spattered all over the internet"Genevieve slapt her immediately the words came from her mouth. The women sitting down behind them gasped. Torn on what to do at Genevieve's presence, considering that she had been a member of their club yet now wanted for heinous crimes.Morgana held her cheeks, holding back her anger." Ma'am, violence isn't allowed in the school. Have you forgotten? Ohh, I almost forgot. You're not a parent again and it's understandable that you might not recall some of the school rules"Angered by he utterance, again Genevieve landed a sl
Montenegro's face twisted with anger as he grabbed his daughter by the arm, dragging her roughly toward the basement. She stumbled, trying to keep up, tears streaming down her face."Please let me go father, I promise to become better from now on" she pleaded. "How many times do I have to tell you to behave in front of the press Genevieve? You're supposed to act properly so you'd be loved by all. So you'd steal attention. So you'd be the talk of the internet for weeks to come!!!" he shouted, his voice echoing through the house."Dad, please, I'm sorry!" she cried, her voice breaking with fear. "I promise I'll do better, please don't lock me up again!"Her mother rushed forward with panic in her eyes. "Honey, please, let her go!" she begged. "She's just a child! You locked her up for days already, please have mercy! You can't keep locking her up each time she all's short of your expectations. She's human"He turned on his wife, furiously "Stay out of this!" he bellowed, raising his h
The house had a shabby look and still had the white table clothes that had been used to cover the properties.Everywhere was dusty as well.Nathaniel watched a dog come in. It might have come in from the neighbors houses as he left the gate open.He let it be. Atleast it was going to keep him company. He walked over to a carton and began to unbox it. It had some of their family portraits. They were mostly of him and his mother and only few had his father in it with them.It tucked at his heart. He couldn't blame only his mother for running away and abandoning him when he was little. He had witnessed how she was always abused by her husband, perhaps she had left them hoping that it would be the right decision to make.He couldn't take it out on her. She took the decision for her life and he would advice any woman in her shoes to take such decisions too, if they had been in his mother's sort of marriage.A marriage that had the husband always abusing and neglecting his wife. With his
The flickering light of the single lit candle cast long, wavering shadows on the walls of their small home. Now that he was thinking about it, he couldn't help but wonder why they had lived in such a shabby humble place while the new family of his father's he met lived in a mansion. Their house seemed old, so it meant that his father had always been rich since tie immemorial but left them to live in a humble home and environment.His mom had sat by the wooden table, the one he was currently staring at, and her fingers had nervously traced the grain of the wood. Her heart was heavy, burdened by the silence and the secrets that had settled between her and her husband. He recalled his father, Dante entering the house, his tall frame blocking the light momentarily. He had the air of a man who was always in a hurry, always preoccupied with something just beyond reach. His mom took a deep breath, mustering the courage to confront him. "Dante" she began softly, "this is getting too much,
The Banner that bore the People's Progressive Party title on top of the party house had been removed. A new banner for a start up company was being used to replace it.In a short while everything about the PPP had been erased, even their party office sold out.Lucas watched as the Carpenters hammered the new name on, while some repainted the walls giving it a whole new vibe."Governor, you don't need to worry. I'm sure nothing would be found on you. You'd still remain the governor of Montenegro after the probe" his assistant tried to console him.His former assistant rather.He had switched places. He had resigned not wanting to work for the government again. But he had come to him to exchange pleasantries after he saw him in front of the Party house.Lucas knew that he was just trying to condole with him.He was sure he wouldn't be found innocent. He carried out alot of bad deeds on of his father in-law's orders.It had already been more than a week his probe started and no feedback
Genevieve listened on as her father made a call to Dante.He was the last escape route they had and she was sure he would find a way to sneak them out of the house and the country without the police finding out.He was skilled in doing such, that is why her father had taken him in as his cartel business partner."He said we should get ready. Just pack a few things. We'd leave by midnight" her father muttered to her before dropping his phone on the table.She wanted to say something to him but she was interrupted by the gunshots they heard from the gate."They're here" she announced to her father and began running away.Her father stood up and took to his heels, following her as well.The both of them had been declared wanted. Not just for one crime nor for their embezzlement and stashed slash funds, the new accusation that came up and had Theodore's voice as the testimony was a big factor too and they couldn't save themselves from it. The evidences we're glaringly clear.She ran to th
