The next morning.Stacy lazily yawned as she opened her eyes."Jerome." She muttered, tabbing on the bed to feel him, but he wasn't on the bed.She gets off immediately and checked the room, but he wasn't there.Getting off, she realized she was still naked and the memory of what happened last night came back to her, making her blush.She shrugged the thought of and walked into the bathroom and brush her teeth then wipe her face before heading downstairs.She wondered where Jerome could be as she couldn't find him even at the seating room."Jerome! Where are you?" She called, and the lights went off.Her heart skipped.Knowing that she is the only one in the house, she panicked."Who…who is there?" Stacy muttered, brushing off some strands of hair from her face."Je… Jerome!" She yelled, then she started hearing some footsteps coming closer to her."Please don't hurt me! Don't hurt me!" Stacy pleaded, closing her eyes, then she heard a loud voice and laughter."Surprise!" Stacy slowl
Debbie decided to dedicate herself to work and arrived so early.The condition in which she arrived left a topic of discussion to her employees who were used to seeing Debbie very beautiful and active, but today, she looked pale, had an eye bag under her eyes and her hair was messy.Heading straight to her office, she opened her laptop and started going through the schedule's for the day.Her assistant, Mimi came to her."Good morning ma'am." Mimi greeted and Debbie lifted her eyes from the laptop."Cancel all meetings for today." Debbie ordered which left Mimi's mouth hanging as the Debbie she knows is always excited to having meetings."Okay, but if I may ask, are you okay, Ma'am?" Mimi asked."I'm fine, just go away and leave me alone." Debbie answered, and Mimi knew that was the best thing to do, so she walked out of the office quietly.Debbie made some coffee, while reminiscing to Liam and the numerous time she had caught him cheating with different girls, the only thing that mad
Jerome left to the office and assembled his employees to find out about the progress on who tempered with the car.They all looked innocent, with their eyes fixed on the ground.Jerome paced up and down, his hands swept into his pockets, before stopping right in front of them."I guess you are all aware as to why I called for you this morning? Huh?" Jerome asked, and they all nodded at once."Great, start talking." Jerome commanded but they were quiet.Jerome was furious and slammed his band on the table making them all flinched."I told you! The car cannot just cut it wires by itself, it's definitely someone among you, and I was lenient enough for allowing you a week to provide me with an answer but since you are all proven to be stubborn…" Jerome paused and twisted his lips.“You are all demoted to level one.” He completed, and they all looked shocked, with a short gasp coming out from each of them."No, no, please don't do this to us. We have no idea who did it." They pleaded."You
"Wait…let me process this. You mean you both…like the two of you…" Stacy said, pointing with her fingers, trying to find the right words while Kelly looked freaked out, tears coming out from her eyes."You both are lesbians?" Stacy asked."Please don't blame Kelly, it's all my fault." Angela answered.Stacy could only look at Kelly and who buried her face in her hands."Okay, so you don't like boys, I mean, you like girls? How?" Stacy asked again."Stacy, I know you will probably hate me, or find me disgusting and…""Hey, it's okay. I'm not at all angry with you, I mean it's natural, and it's okay if you are different. I'm sorry for how I reacted, I was just shocked. For how long?" Stacy exclaimed exhaling deeply."I learned about my differences when I was young when I found out about my attraction to girls instead of boys and I told Mom about it, I thought she was someone I could confide in, but then she had been using it to threatened me, either to accept the CEO position or she wil
Debbie and Liam walked out of the Café looking tensed."Are you sure he will not disappoint us?" Debbie asked."I'm so worried because he doesn't have that confidence look when we were talking to him." She added."You have nothing to worry about. I trust him, our offer is too good to reject, besides, there is only a slim chance of him getting exposed, which means that while he is free, he will enjoy every bit of the money we are going to give to him as a reward." Liam explained."Yeah, you are right." Debbie replied."Babe, trust me on this. This time, it will definitely work out, and Jerome's company will be thrown to the bin and your Dad will be proud of you." Liam smiled and pulled her cheeks."Thank you." Debbie replied, then hugged him."So, where are we going now?" She inquired."I think I will call you an Uber, or you drive my car while I use the Uber." Liam answered."But why? Are we not supposed to go together?" Debbie asked."Yeah, we were, but I remembered I had something u
Liam chuckled nervously as he pulled his hands away from the handshake."I better be going. Stacy, take care of yourself." Liam said and quickly left and Stacy was left wondering why he left in such haste."So, how is my beautiful queen doing," Jerome asked, sitting next to her."I'm good but hungry," Stacy answered."That's why I'm back on time to take you out to a fancy restaurant for lunch. Are you set?" Jerome asked."Always ready." Stacy beamed and he took her hands in his while they made their way out of the hospital to the car."Wow, new car, again?" Stacy asked, raising her eyebrows."I'm not Mr Jerome Adams for nothing," Jerome said, making her laugh."Yeah, Mr. Jerome Adams," Stacy said as he opened the car door for her, and she entered.*After driving for a few miles, Jerome alighted in front of a Restaurant that Stacy immediately recognized. It's one of the best Spanish Restaurants in town.They walked inside the Restaurant with Jerome taking the lead.He pulled a chair f
Jerome arrived at the launch venue in style. He stepped out of a fancy car as John opened his door, then smiled as cameras flashed around him. He looked confident and happy, wearing a sharp suit and shiny shoes.Reporters and photographers surrounded him, taking pictures and asking questions. Jerome waved and smiled, feeling so excited. He walked into the hall, shaking hands with important investors and businessmen. They greeted him with respect, impressed by his innovation.He sighted a very reputable old man and headed straight to him."I can't believe you made it!" Jerome exclaimed, hugging him."Nah, I won't miss this for nothing. Your Mom has always waited for a day like this and I'm sure she will be so proud of you wherever she is now." The old man said and Jerome felt emotional, wishing this was coming from his Dad or his brothers."Thank you so much," Jerome replied."You welcome. Now chop chop, go and make the world proud." The Man said to him with a salute."Mr Jerome!" His
"5, 4, 3, 2, 1! Go!" Everyone counted loudly and Jerome took a deep breath before pressing on the start button and the car brought out a bright light.Everyone screamed and clapped jumping as the car started.Jerome was filled with pride seeing how excited the world is for his project.He tapped the drive button and the car started driving slowly, all the cameras were recording and even people present there used their phones to record.Everything was working smoothly, the car was making progress and they were impressed until the car started making a weird sound, then the lights started shaking."What's going on?" Everyone asked as they watched and Jerome was as confused as they were."Please calm down all," Jerome said with a shaky voice his heart beating faster and started pressing on the buttons but they were not working at all.The car started running at speed showing "virus" on the screen and Jerome was freaked out, trying everything to stop the car from running as well as the cro
Season Finale *four days later*It was the wedding day of Jerome and Debbie, and Debbie couldn't hide her excitement. The event hall was decorated to her taste and it was just like she had dreamed of, the talk of the town wedding.Reporters, and celebrities from all around the world, Africa, and Asia were in attendance, and food was served in different ways.Indeed, the wedding was screaming luxury.It was already time and Jerome was nowhere to be found. Debbie was getting worried and tried calling his phone but he hasn't been answering.In no time, the guest already started murmuring as she was seated next to the priest waiting for Jerome to say their vows.She was getting tensed, the heat of embarrassment building up in the atmosphere.She looked around nervously searching for Jerome and after all the stress, he finally arrived, but to everyone's surprise, he came with lots of policemen.Debbie stood up, shocked and so did her parents."Hey, Debbie." Jerome giggled and walked to th
Semi-final Jerome walked out of the boardroom and Stacy thrilled behind him."Jerome." She called and he paused. This will be the first time she is coming face to face with him since after the separation."Thank you, so much for what you did to me. I won't ask you how you knew about it but after all I did, I don't deserve your kindness." Stacy exclaimed."It's nothing, Stacy. After all, you are not my enemy, I loved you and I cannot watch your life crumble when I could do something to help out. So, consider it as nothing." Jerome replied."Thank you so much," Stacy said and he smiled at her."Take care, I have something to take care of," Jerome stated."Oh, by the way, congratulations on your engagement. I'm sorry I couldn't do it on time." Stacy said and instead of replying, he nodded his head and left.Stacy stared at him until his shadow disappeared and retired to the boardroom where she met her family waiting for her.*Jerome was once again emotional seeing Stacy, he headed to h
Stacy walked out of the restaurant and tried calling a cab when she sighted someone she knew."Alex!" She called and waved at him."Oh, Stacy," Alex replied and went over to her."What are you doing here? It's a pleasure to meet you." Stacy excitedly said as they exchanged a handshake."Just came over for lunch. What are you doing outside, alone?" Alex inquired and Stacy beamed sadly."I was on a date but I guess, that was a terrible idea. Anyways, it was nice meeting you, I will go ahead." Stacy replied."No, I'm not having anything important. I can give you a ride." Alex said."No, no, it's okay, I'm fine. I will just wait for my cab and...""No, Stacy, I insist and yes, you cannot refuse me. So, please, let's go already." Alex said and took her purse.She smiled awkwardly and followed his lead as he walked to where his car was parked.He opened the car for her and she entered.He was skeptical to tell her that he was with Jerome and he left because he saw her with Liam."So, how is
Alex and Jerome finally arrived at the restaurant and were already seated while waiting for their orders.And they talked about businesses, and the autonomous cars productions that had become universally wanted."Why is this wait taking so much time." Jerome groaned and stood up to check when his eyes caught a sight that kept his eyes ball fixed in that direction."What are you looking at?" Alex asked and when Jerome did not respond, he stood up and saw Stacy and Liam, coming into the restaurant, with all smiles.*After Jerome's engagement last night, Liam had been begging Stacy to go out with him and despite refusing to accept, he showed up at her office and she had no option but to accept and go out with him.Jerome stared at Liam pulls her a chair and his heart was arching."Let's go, Alex," Jerome said blinking his eyes. It was as if he would burst into tears at any moment."But the lunch and..." Alex was not able to complete his statement, Jerome stormed out, and Alex ran after
Jerome was relieved that Stacy was better and blamed himself for being the cause of all her problems.While leaving the hospital, he suddenly remembered the old lady who was leaving her ward. Remember her?He decided to visit her and thank her for being a motivation to him in his most trying moment.He got to her ward and it was empty too. So he thought she had gone out of her ward again, without the Nurse's knowledge.He went out and met with a nurse, the same nurse who was in charge of taking care of the old Lady."Hey." Jerome waved at her."Mr Jerome. Long time, no see. Miss Mercy had been asking for you all the time, even the day we lost her." The Nurse exclaimed and Jerome looked at her."What do you mean until we lost her?" Jerome asked, looking shocked."Unfortunately, her cancer had reached its last state, and even chemotherapy couldn't save her. We lost her to the cold hands of death." The Nurse answered."Oh no," Jerome said, his back touching the wall."She asked for you,
Jerome and Debbie returned to their seats as the event had already commenced."About earlier, he was just asking for the restroom," Debbie said."Oh, I see," Jerome replied. And it was time for them to exchange rings.Jerome took the ring and looked towards Stacy's direction but he saw her hurriedly leaving.His attention was driven to her yet again."Did she perhaps feel bad? Does she still love me? Or maybe she wasn't feeling too well?" Jerome wondered and he was wondering why the doctor would let her out of the hospital to attend such a crowded occasion.He decided to go see the doctor the next day and reprimand him for being careless with Stacy's health knowing the risks associated with her health and pregnancy.Debbie was getting pissed as he stood frozen and everyone's eyes were on him waiting for him to put the ring on her finger."What are you doing, Jerome!" Debbie half yelled and that got his attention, dragging him back to reality."Oh, I'm sorry," Jerome replied and with h
*The Engagement party*It was the day of the engagement.Despite Stacy's sadness, she dressed up so elegantly and wore a red fitted gown that gave justice to her well-endowed body.Her belly had begun protruding and the pregnancy was looking good on her, adding an extra glow to the already existing goddess look she had.Stacy stood in front of the mirror, panting.She had been rehearsing how to act normal and pretend everything was well but she couldn't stop getting nervous.She felt like she would not be able to control her emotions when she saw Jerome.Kelly joined her in the room."Okay, I had missed seeing this side of my elegant sister. You are looking so beautiful tonight, Sissy." Kelly exclaimed."Looking at myself in the mirror, I just realized how much I had let loose of myself," Stacy replied and faced Kelly.Kelly picked a lipgloss and put a little on Stacy's lips as her lips were chapped."Thank you." Stacy smiled."You are welcome. You are scared, aren't you? Your hands a
*The Next day*Stacy was done giving a speech at the board meeting, and it ended in a absolute applaud.They were glad to have her back and her ideas are always top notched.On her way back to the office, while she was exchanging pleasantries, her assistant came to call her."Good day, Miss Stacy. You have a guest." She announced."Oh, a guest. Um…" Stacy paused and turned to the board member she was speaking with."I will catch up with you later sir." She said."Sure, go ahead, Ma'am. You did an excellent presentation. Looking forward to more from you." The Man said with a handshake and left."Shall we?" Stacy asked."Sure." The assistant answered and took the lead, while Stacy followed her.They arrived at the waiting room close to her office and she was shocked to see the guest."Liam!" She muttered and looked at her assistant."He is the guest?" Stacy asked, looking surprised.The assistant was scared.."Yes Ma'am, is there any problem?" She asked and Stacy looked at Liam, he flas
Kelly and Stacy alighted at the ice cream shop.It has been their favorite ice cream shop since childhood and of course, Kelly insisted on driving the brand new Lamborghini Mr Sky got for Stacy.They sat down, and the waiter joined them shortly."Good day Ma'am. Would you like to place your order?" The waiter asked with a sweet smile."Um, my sister is pregnant." Kelly giggled and Stacy opened her mouth."Wow, congratulations, I'm happy for you." The waiter beamed."Yeah, that means she will love to taste all the flavors, so bring all the flavors you have." Kelly said firmly and refused to laugh."Sure, right away." The waiter said, flashed them a smile and left to get their orders ready."You are insane, Kelly, hope you know that!" Stacy groaned."Yeah, insane because I told the waiter you are pregnant? Girl, I need the world to know I'm soon going to become an aunt, and if that happens, I'm gonna shut down the whole city, huhooo." Kelly exclaimed and Stacy just shrugged at her silli
