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
Stacy watched the livestream and how Jerome was embarrassed in front of the whole world by his autonomous car.The look she saw on his face made her know that he needed only her right now.She couldn't help but feel bad for him and cried seeing him in a tiring situation.Kelly was with her trying to console her when Stacy suddenly sprang off the bed."Is everything okay, Stacy?" Kelly asked.Stacy dragged the IV from her veins forcefully making her bleed."What are you doing, Stacy, you are hurting yourself!" Kelly yelled, trying to stop her.Stacy looked around and placed her feet on the ground."My husband needs me, he needs me!" Stacy muttered, breathing heavily, and started searching for a way out."You cannot leave in your condition Stacy, you are bleeding!" Kelly shouted but Stacy pushed her away."Can't you see the look on my Jerome's face? He was sad, he...he...he needs me." Stacy cried."Doctor! Doctor!" Kelly shouted and the doctor quickly rushed in."What's going..." He pau
*The hospital* "Puff, he is still not answering." Kelly said, walking up and down in the doctor's office as she tried calling Jerome. "It's fair if he is not picking his calls. Judging from what happened at the launching, but it really won't be advisable for Stacy to open her eyes, and he is not there with her. It might worsen her situation." The doctor exclaimed. Kelly looked worried and sat down. "What should, will do, doctor?" Kelly asked. "Maybe you continue calling and see if he answers." The doctor answered. "Um, doctor. Can I request for something?" Kelly asked. "Sure, anything, what's that?" The doctor answered, and Kelly scratched her hair, feeling reluctant to say it. "Um, so I was thinking, maybe you don't have to tell Mr Jerome that it was because of him that Stacy's condition worsen. It will only make things more difficult for him, as he is already going through enough." Kelly requested. "You had a point but what should we tell him then?" The doctor asked
"Look at me." Jerome said, disengaging from the hug, cupping her face in his hands. Stacy stared into his eyes. "I won't leave you, okay?" He said and gently placed a kiss on her forehead, then cuddled her to himself. "I'm sorry for what happened." Stacy replied. "Hahaha, what are you saying? Nothing happened." Jerome laughed. "Don't pretend, Jerome. I saw everything, I watched the live stream, remember." Stacy exclaimed. Jerome's face was pale. "I'm sorry, I didn't want to get you worried." Jerome replied. "Well, I should be worried. Jerome, you are my husband, your problem is my problem. Your pain is my pain, as well as your gains are mine. We are into this together okay? I will never leave your side. I will stand by you until the very end." Stacy exclaimed. "You know what, Stacy. I thought my life has ended the moment the car ran into my staff Xavier, but coming to you now, I realized that I still have another reason to live and to be happy. I might have never said
Debbie arrived at Liam's house, wearing a sunglass and a gigantic smirk on her face. The breeze flipping her hair contributed to the proud atmosphere Debbie found herself in. She opened her car, then closed it by shutting it with her hills, took off the glasses a bit then cat walked majestically to Liam's front door, before leaving a soft knock. The door was immediately opened by Liam, and he welcomed her in with a big huge. "I don't need any genie to tell me how excited you are," Liam exclaimed, laughing. "Of course, and all thanks to you. You literally saved half and quarter problems of all my life!" Debbie replied. "I was actually doubting if our plan would work, but it turned out to be even more good than I expected. Thank you so much Liam, you have no idea how much this means to me." Debbie stated. "You are welcome my love. Told you I will do anything for you. But you need to make the outcome more chaotic because Jerome is capable of making coming out of this situation." Li

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
