Lucas bursted into laughter and Pamela laughed too. Alice is playful. This is just the kind of person she wants around her at the moment. "I'm older than you Alice. So you should call me big sis instead" Pamela said, pulling her chin. Louis was unable to concentrate on anything. He sat down before Romeo and Miranda were by his side. "President Hayden, you approved this contract three months ago. So I don't know, can we invite them over for a deliberation and a way forward in executing the project?" Romeo asked. He raised his head and glanced at Louis. The latter was staring at the door. His face was cold and expressionless. He had been so after Pamela left. He had complained about his head pain and Romeo had thought he would remember who he used to be. They called for his doctor and he came over quickly. After attending to him, the pain seemed to relieve him and he became calm again. Romeo waited for him to say something that might indicate that he
Romeo was lost. Miranda Alvan is such a loose woman? She wants to have affairs with him in exchange for support? She is with Louis and she's also willing to be with him, knowing that Louis is his boss? Is that how desperate she is? But he let the surprised expression pass away quickly. He sighed and asked "You know I am married, right?" "Yes. I know you have a wife and two kids. But I am not asking you to marry me or be my boyfriend or fiance. That's what I want from Louis alone. All I am saying is that I am willing to spend a night with you. Take me as much as you can and in exchange, stay with me. Support me to be Louis' woman, period" Miranda explained the logic. Romeo nodded as if he understood what she said. He was furious and broken within. Is this the kind of woman Leah Hayden brought to her son's side? What kind of mother is she? And what kind of a woman is Miranda Alvan? Shameless and have no sense of decency? "I have never done it befor
She wanted to ask him to explain about his past with her. Were they like dating or something? But she couldn't bring herself to ask too many questions. She's a doctor not a detective. "Ask your questions, Alice," Lucas urged. He saw her hand suddenly get suspended and she was quiet like someone analysing a statement. The answer he gave to her question must have caused it. He would explain to her what his past was with Pamela. "What?" Alice was dazed at what he said. He could guess that she has a question at the tip of her tongue. "Weren't you contemplating on asking me a question? I had a past with Pamela but I married her sister. Ask me whatever you want" Lucas demanded. "Yeah, you're right. I wanted you to explain what you meant by having a past with her and yet you said you married her sister" Alice requested. "Pamela was my fiance at the time. But I had affairs with her sister and married her,"Lucas explained scantily. That part of his past
Romeo looked away. If only she knew how much of a restraint he was applying to keep himself from dragging her by her hair like Leah did to Pamela and throw her out through the window. "Calm down bitch. We need to talk first and come to an agreement" Romeo declared. He called her a bitch and Miranda was not in the least annoyed. "Make it snappy dude. I'm dripping wet already. I thought we would take the first dose before talking business. But if that's how you want it, make it snappy" Miranda complained. Motherfucker! Romeo said within him. Dripping wet? If he wants to sleep with a woman, he has a beautiful woman at home that he loves. Not bitches like her. "Yes. We talk business first. In every partnership, there would be an agreement first before appexing a signature. So tell me, what exactly do you want me to do for you?" Romeo asked, glaring at her with a poker face. "It's simple. Support me to remain at Louis' side. Everything I say, rather than cont
Clarion complexion turned purple in fury. How dare Tarvan describe her as a barren woman? How dare he say such words to her? "Are you feeling upset that I said that? I worked hard, but you couldn't conceive. It wasn't my fault that we couldn't have more children, it was yours. You are suddenly infertile. Now you tell me that my granddaughter should be an heir simply because she is Pamela. If she was the daughter of my son, I would Consider it. But she was born by a daughter. I have concubines now and I am working hard to get them pregnant and get an heir from them. So just enjoy the position of a queen while it lasts. Do you understand me, Clarion?" Tarvan bellowed. Clarion just glared at her husband. She couldn't believe a time would come when Tarvan would say such words to her. But the day finally came. "You said I am Barren?" Clarion asked, the word 'barren' kept resounding in her head as if she's never heard it being used for a woman. "Yes. You are
Lucas was busy in the office when a certain person knocked on his door. "The door is open," he said. When the door opened, it was Nelly that came in. She looked calm and remorseful, standing before Lucas. It's been months but it seemed to her like yesterday. She had betrayed him. She was with Phil and never thought she would fall apart with him. Now, she wants Lucas back and it doesn't seem as if he noticed her again. Lucas raised his head and saw Nelly. He squinted and offered a seat "Take a seat" he said, capping his pen and placing it aside. He folded his arms and glanced at her "You want to see him?" Lucas asked. He got the answer within himself. Of course she wants to see him, otherwise what would she be doing in his office? Nelly nodded. She wanted to talk but it seemed the words got choked in her throat. She glanced at her fingers and fiddled with it. "Okay. I'm with you" Lucas said in a tone of impatience. He doesn't have time to sit and face a w
Louis was dazed. He glared at Miranda. He is going to be a father. Does it mean…he glanced at her and looked down to her belly to the extent he could see from the other end of the dinning table. "I am two months pregnant honey. You and I are finally going to be parents" Miranda Alvan explained. She caressed her belly and smiled. Louis' lips parted to reveal a beautiful smile with a diastema. He was so happy. He would be a father soon. He looked forward to a day like this. "Come over here" Louis declared and Miranda did. They both walked away from the dining table and Louis placed his hand on Miranda's belly. As if that is not enough,he kneeled before Miranda and caressed her belly more. Making his eye level the same as her belly. "My baby" he mumbled, he is happy. No one can explain just how excited he was. Finally, he is going to be a father. Miranda caressed Louis' hair and bent over, kissing his temple. It was like a part of Louis' heart suddenly learnt
Ellis saw her sprang up in surprise. Oh, he hadn't told her what happened in the office a few weeks ago. It appeared she would be more shocked than he was that day. "You mean to say that Louis and Miranda are…" Leah trailed off. That's not part of the deal. Miranda Alvan is taking advantage of her son. "None of us believed it until Pamela dashed into the office right before Romeo and I and accused Louis of cheating on her with Miranda. I wanted to defend Louis. I tried to convince her that she's thinking too much. Louis wouldn't do that but it didn't help because Louis lashed at her and told her to go to hell. He even went physical with Pamela that Romeo and I had to come to her rescue. Things had fallen apart between them. I called Louis aside to ask him and he confirmed it. I'm just worried that things would get out of hand if Miranda Alvan still remains by his side. I don't know what to do now, Leah," Ellis explained. Leah swallowed hard. Why would Miran
