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
Lucas's heart pounded as he sprinted towards Maya and the nurses who were raising her body from the ground unto the stretcher that was with them, every muscle in his body straining to reach her before they started to move the stretcher. Genevieve stood paralyzed, the words from the anonymous letter echoing in her mind. "Karma will come at you fast"She had watched in horror as Claude’s car, out of control and speeding, hurtled towards her daughter, their daughter. The realization hit her like a physical blow—she had tampered with his brakes. She had set this in motion.She had a hand in what just happened to her daughter, their daughter. She never imagined that he would be coming to the hospital later, she never believed he would make it past the busy roads to the hospital. No, she never thought it possible. "CPR!!! Who went to get the defibrillator? Call the doctor!!" The head nurse screamed as they began to push the stretcher into the hospital.Some passerbys gathered, creating a
