Note: The following chapters ahead is about the life story of Niel and Drake before their encounter with Jessica. This is to help you have a correct understanding of the story.**********************************************"You look beautiful sweetheart." Cynthia's mom said."Thanks Mom." she replied to her mom's comment."Be careful that guy doesn't do anything dirty to you." Her dad cut in."Dad!"."David!""I'm just saying. I used to be a boy too, you know. I know how dirty our minds are." David said."Niel is not like that. I can assure you. And I'm only doing this for his sister." she said which was a complete lie. She was doing this because she wanted to. She wants a chance to get close to Niel, to have a chat with him, to laugh with him, but nothing else."Hope I can trust you." Her father said. The sound of the bell being rung echoed throughout the entire house. Shortly after, the maid made her way to the door. Niel walked in looking as elegant as ever. His hair was neatly tr
"Did he agree to it?." The man asked."No, my son declined but I promise I will do everything in my power to make him to." Mr. Lincoln assured"And what if he chooses one of his own, won't that be a disgrace upon my daughter." The man argued."He is my son and he will listen to what I will say and I tell you, only I." Mr. Lincoln replied, clenching his fist in anger. He felt humiliated and embarrassed to even talk about Niel in front of this particular man. This man was known to be a business tycoon, and he knew the only way to be partners with him is if their children connected, but it seems Niel has made up his mind not to do as he says.This was the main reason why he had never accepted his son to be in any relationship with whosoever he decides to be with. Because he already had someone up his sleeves and if they were to be rejected, it would bring chaos in the business industry.On his drive home, their conversation ran through his mind, making him go mad. What do I have to do to
"Can't really understand you guys these days." Christina said, narrowing her eyes."What do you mean." Christina asked chuckling"You know what I mean, you just pretend you don't.""I know, we love you too." Daniel chipped in. Both girls laughed at his joke uncontrollably for a while. The three were currently in Daniel's apartment, having a refreshment of their own. The three are so happy they will soon be done with high school, and live a life of their own.After some hours of washing their mouths with wine and some juices, they sat down on the couch cuddled to each other, both girls on each side of Daniel and their heads on his chest as he brushed their soft blonde hair behind their ears softly."So guys, graduation is next week. Y'all ready for your results." Christina reminded me. "Well yh, I just hope we get the same school again." Daniel said."Aww, thanks Dan." Christina said."Alright listen guys." Cynthia said sitting up straight "This might be our last time having fun like
Laughter roared out the entire hall as Niel and his friends toasted to their success. They had all gotten what they wanted, so was in together to extol their victory of becoming what they wanted to be. Niel could now finally take over his father's company by next week, Sam his father's agency and while others like Jake and Osten had been accepted into the model industry. Vigorous job it was for the guys but a drop of sweat brings success."Alright guys I need to leave. My mom might start talking once again." Sam said, taking a last sip from his beer before preparing to set off."Come on, you're joking right?" Osten asked."Why?" Sam asked, completely lost in the joke. He gaped at each and everyone and noticed they had a look that said he was dumb, besotted on their faces."You're in college okay, you need to stop that Mama's thing. Or, someone else will mama you." Jack said, making everyone burst out into series of laughter with the exception of Sam who scratched the back of his neck
The bodies were taken away by the ambulances successfully and the area was being tidied up while the blood was being soused. All seemed to be going well as the stain of blood was washed away but the pain in Niel's heart escalated every second making him roll on the floor vulnerably.The guards had to drug him earlier on away from the sight of others but his eyes withheld the time their corpse was being taken away. He cried all the way and even forced to free himself from their arms but some policemen came to help drag him away. Because of how vulnerable Niel looked now, it drew tears into a few officials' eyes as they felt depressed for the young man. The officials left him with the guards at the nearest motel and left."Life is so cruel." One whispered to his friend as they made their way out."I know right. Did you think he knew this would have happened to him." the other replied."Hmm, that is why you have to be conscientious. Death is a friend to all, but never will inform you wh
"So, that was the beginning of my sad life." Niel said, coming back to time where he and Jessica sat quietly in the hospital room."What is the end like?" Jessica asked with curiosity, making Niel chuckle."Easy sweetheart, I will continue that another time" Niel said turning his head towards the insensible Drake lying serene, almost lifeless on the bed "With the both of you. Just pray he wakes early. The doctor said he needs something that will encourage his spirit. Something precious that can link him back to our world." Niel said and paused as he shrugged his shoulders.There was silence for a while in the room as Niel was thinking of what could probably bring his son back to him."I will bring Nicholas." Jessica said, making Niel turn towards her direction."Who is Nicholas." he asked with a raised brow telltaling one of confusion."The baby." Jessica said "My son..Drake's son." she added, smiling brightly."""This is for you and once again, happy birthday my love." Eduardo said
Someone knocked on the door, and he had to whisper as he always does to allow that person in. The door opened revealing Jessica, but this time she wasn't alone, as she held a baby in her hands.Niel immediately jolted up, walking as fast as he could towards them. Jessica smiled at the old man who made his way towards them, happy to see something precious with her. Not that she was not someone unique, but who would be calm if he saw his grandson for the first time."Come in, come in. Come, sit here. Watch his head, his cap might fall." He kept saying enthusiastically, His blood boiling and his hands itching to get a hold of the baby. "He's just eight months yet look how big he has grown".. he said. The baby's little eyes twitched, as it opened revealing his sapphire eyes which looked just like his father's. Niel's words got stuck down in his throat, as he stared at the baby.He stared at Drake, and then back at the baby. Jessica, as if aware of what he is thinking, stretched the baby
"Can I have some time with him." Jessica asked as she looked in the direction of Niel, beckoning him to give her and the unconscious Drake some time."oh oh yes yes, you can have some time while I take a little walk around the ward, or maybe I might grab something later. But do you mind if I take him along, I can show him around?" Niel asked with the most pleading look Jessica had ever seen and never had an idea he even had one.Just as Niel asked this, the baby gave out a tiny laugh which later turned into a smile as it rubbed its tiny eyes. Just the laugh of the baby alone made Niel feel like he wanted to announce to the whole world that this boy is his grandson.Jessica, just seeing this made her heart erupt with joy as she realised how the old man had grown interested in her baby in just an hour. Whenever someone would show some love to the baby, or the baby did something beautiful and cute in her sight, it made her always bemoan how she had treated the person who gave the little
