Ever since Asher returned home, she has been crying nonstop. It was hard to believe that Liam, who had promised to stay away from Lucy, had been lying all along. He had a two-year-old daughter with her. It was all too much for her to take in.

The thought of calling her parents crossed her mind, but she decided against it. She needed to confront her husband first and get the truth from him. He still wasn't home yet, and the evening was stretching on. She couldn't sit still, she was pacing the living room with tears. Her heart was beating faster.

She was about to head to her room and try to relax when she heard the front door open. She turned and saw her husband walking towards her. He reached out to hug her, but she recoiled. The hurt she was feeling made her lash out, and she slapped him hard across the face. He looked stunned, rubbing his cheek in confusion. "What's wrong?" he asked. "What happened?"

"I want nothing but the truth, are you cheating on me? '' she asked, her voice sha

She had called Asher countless times but she didn't pick, later she blocked his line. He was unable to reach her again and he didn't have the mind to reach her parents. Lucy on the hand had been calling him but he kept ignoring her calls. She was the cause of all that happened and doesn't see reasons to speak to her.Liam was at the gate of his company, honking his horn, but the gate remained closed, it seems the gate man was not there. Annoyed, he got out of his car to open the gate himself. But when he got to the gate, he saw the gate man sitting comfortably in his chair, pressing his phone. He paused for a moment wondering what could be happening because it was obvious the man must have heard the honking and also saw him trying to open the gate himself. Was he ignoring him on purpose?"Why are you sitting there, doing nothing?" Liam asked angrily. He coul

    "So you have been draining the company, taking excess money from the company just to satisfy Lucy" Liam's father said angrily to Liam.

Liam was shaking, his palms sweating, His eyes were shining with the threat of tears."You see, this was what I was avoiding when I told you to stay away from Lucy.

"Help me beg Asher, please". Asher was sobbing silently where she was seated, her face crumbling like a used tissue, her mother's arm around her shoulder, tr

    "What is it?" Liam growled into the phone, annoyed by the constant call from Loretta. He had been ignoring calls from both Lucy and Loretta, but Loretta's had been incessant. He finally relented and answered the call. "Madam Lucy fainted this morning and we had to rush her to the hospital," Loretta said, her voice trembling with fear. In the background, Elizabeth's cry could be heard. Liam felt a jolt of panic and rose to his feet as he heard the news."What happened to her?" he asked, his voice urgent and filled with fear. "What's wrong with her?" He asked again."I don't know, I'm not sure what caused it, sir," Loretta said, her voice trembling. "She was feeding Elizabeth when she just suddenly fainted. I called you immediately but you didn't answer, so I and the security guard rushed her to the hospital. We're in the hospital now, but the doctors haven't said anything yet.""I'll be there as soon as I can," Liam said, his voice firm. He hurriedly grabbed his car key and dashed ou

She said and Liam raised an eyebrow surprised at what she said. Want him so badly because she has cancer. How, he wondered."What do you mean by that?". He managed to ask."Before I came across your wedding invitation, I had been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer". She started, tears and her nose running freely as she talked. "When we met at the wedding, I realized that you still cared for me," Lucy said. "I came back to you because I wanted to be with someone who loved me before the cancer took my life."As Liam listened to Lucy's confession, his heart broke into pieces and the tears flowed freely. Lucy had come back into his life, out of a desire to find someone to care for her before she died. It was really a painful truth that made Liam cry bitterly."I only wanted to feel loved before I

    "The surgery has been paid for", The hospital billing office staff informed Liam, much to his surprise. He had gone to the hospital to make a partial payment on Lucy's bill, which he was able to get from his mother after much pleading as his father had refused to give him any money. He had to go secretly to his mother. Out of motherly love, Mrs Xavier gave him part of the money for Lucy's treatment."Who paid for it?" He asked the lady, shock written all over his face."A tall, slim woman, I believe she was her sister," the lady replied. Liam was surprised. The description sounded like Loretta, but where had she gotten the money?, he wondered. He thanked the woman and hurried off to Lucy's room, only to find it empty. He rushed to the nurses' station and asked where she was."She's been taken to the operating theater," one of the nurses informed him."Who signed the consent form?" He asked, worried. "Her mother did". The nurse replied. Liam exhaled deeply, thanked the nurse and left

Her maternal instincts kicked into overdrive, and she was already making a beeline for the hospital before Liam could even thank her."Baby please, eat at least two spoons." Liam said as he tried to coax Elizabeth into taking a bite of the food, her lips stayed sealed in stubborn defiance. Even as he gently spoon fed her, she turned her head away, refusing to eat."I've called your mother and she will soon be here." He said, his tone soft but firm.

With eager anticipation, Liam anticipated the arrival of their guest."My apologies, Liam, for keeping you waiting." Stanley said with a smile as he walked back to the sitting room, taking his seat next to Liam."No problem, I'm enjoying the ambiance." Liam replied, smiling back."Our guest should be here any moment." Stanley said, as he picked up the remote and turned up the volume on the TV, allowing the actors' dialogues to fill the room."Who is this your friend and why the party,what is the party for? I don't understand." Liam asked."Don't worry friend, it's meant to be a surprise. You will know her when she comes." "Her." Liam asked, confu

She stood her ground, matching Liam's ferocity word for word. "This happened before you met me". She said, her voice raised in anger."Have you ever caught me in such an act since we got married."

    "I'm only asking for a small sum of money, and here you are, making such a scene." Pearl said, her voice raised. Her anger ranged as she confronted Asher in her own home, using the compromising photos as leverage."Do you think I came here to joke or play with you? I came to reveal your dirty secret to your husband, but God seems to be on your side today. However, I won't leave without what I came for. Hand over that money, or your secret will no longer be safe with me.""Pearl, to you, a hundred million dollars is a small amount of money? Pearl, are you in your right senses" Asher said, her face hardened with frustration."You are spitting nonsense Asher". Pearl said, her face stern. "If you are not succumbing to my demands, consider your husband being aware of your bad past". She said again, her voice cutting through the air like a whip.The air seemed to thicken with the weight of Pearl's rage as Asher crumbled under the pressure, slumping down onto the nearest chair in defeat.

    Asher's POVMy hands were immersed in a sudsy mountain of laundry when my phone's beep rang out, signaling a new message. I glanced at my phone's screen and saw that the message that came in was from Pearl and it read "I need to discuss something very important with you, and I would like you to come to my house to discuss it."My mind whirred with possibilities as to what she could be talking about, nothing coming to mind that couldn't be discussed via text or call. Anxiously, I dialed her number to find out if it could be discussed over the phone. The call went unanswered at first, but my persistence paid off when Pearl finally picked up. There was no friendly greeting or small talk, only her urgent message, "I'll send you my home address. It's very serious please." She ended the call after that before I could even utter a word.My mind raced with questions as I rushed to finish my laundry, speeding through the last stages of my cleaning routine. As I started to dress, a text from P

His jaw dropped as if the world had suddenly tilted on its axis.Standing up with a warm smile, Pearl greeted him, but Liam's response was chilly at best, sending an icy chill through the room. Asher, caught in the crossfire, found himself quickly whisked away upstairs by a visibly agitated Liam, leaving Pearl alone to contemplate the reasons behind Liam's coldness."What is she doing here, and remember you haven't told me who she is?" Liam said, his face stern."Baby, like I told you earlier, Pearl is my old friend. I had wanted to tell you what had transpired between us, but you've been so busy lately." Her words hung in the air as Liam absorbed their meaning, his expression a mix of confusion and suspicion."We had a terrible fight before graduation, which was why I reacted so poorly when I saw her." She lied, her

    Asher's POVAs I reclined in the comfort of my room, my daughter, Elizabeth, hurriedly entered with a look of bewilderment etched on her face. "Mom". She said "There is someone at the door asking for you," she said her voice laced with perplexity. "It's a woman, and she looks like that strange aunty we met at Uncle Stanley's birthday party. I think it's that aunty Pearl". Her eyes, wide with surprise, revealed the flutter of curiosity that stirred within her.On hearing Pearl's name, panic gripped my soul, and I sprung from the bed with haste.

    Elizabeth's POVMy heart was racing as I approached my father. "Dad," I said, my voice shaking slightly with nerves. He turned from his TV program and smiled at me. "How are you, darling?" he asked, his voice calm and gentle.I'm scared the conversation might not turn out well, but I had to push through the discomfort. I had become desperate to ask him why he had such a negative view of female relationships. To him, it seemed that any sign of closeness between women was automatically seen as lesbianism. I need to understand why he had been so judgmental and narrow minded.My mind raced for the right words, but my mouth remained stubbornly silent. I took a deep breath, willing the words to come out. "I'm fine, dad," I replied, my voice still slightly trembling. "I want to ask you something." I managed to say.My father seemed to sense the gravity of my words and adjusted his seat to face me directly. "Of course, sweetheart," he said, his brows slightly furrowed in concern. "What is it
