"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
*The next day*Jerome got ready early to attend the meeting, with a mind made up, ready to receive the worst from the board members.Arriving there, he was welcomed by the glares from them, as he quietly took his seat."We are here for you, to solve the problem that you brought upon us, yet your ego cannot allow you to make it on time, seriously?" Mr Moses said, joining his hands together, angrily."I'm sorry, Uncle," Jerome replied."Let me guess, you were with your useless wife, taking care of her, huh?" Mr Moses asked.Jerome slammed his hands on the table getting everyone's attention.He took a deep breath, calming himself down."I will appreciate it if you don't Involve Stacy here. She is not to be blamed. I admit I'm five minutes late, do you have to make a scene out of it?" Jerome inquired, looking straight into Mr Moses' eyes."Five minutes is something, Jerome. You should try and take your responsibility seriously." Mr Moses said."Okay, enough with the words exchanges, that'
Standing on the balcony, Jerome flashed back the instant his Mom took her last breath.He recalled how his brothers and Dad always missed out on her birthdays and important occasions, but he was always there for her.The unfortunate incident that led to her death was when he drowned after getting involved in a boat accident on a vacation with his Mom, before she thought twice, she jumped into the river and saved Jerome, but unfortunately, it was too late for her to be saved and while she was at the hospital, she gave out the company to Jerome which resulted to the hatred between Jerome, his siblings, and his Dad.Stepping back to the seating room, Jerome took his car keys and left the Mansion, driving to his Lawyer's office.When he arrived at the office, his lawyer was already packing up, wearing his black suit."Oh! Mr Jerome! Hey, welcome, I didn't know you are coming." He said, keeping his coat.Jerome shook his hand."Yeah, sorry, I didn't call. I just urgently needed to speak wi
Jerome opened the door as Debbie pressed the doorbell.She arrived fifteen minutes after their call.When he opened the door, her face was a mix of happiness and shock."Oh my God! Jerome, what happened to you, you are not looking like yourself!" Debbie gasped with concern, bringing her hands close to his face but he moved back and opened the door wide for her, then returned inside and sat down.Debbie frowned and trilled behind him."What you did was mean, hope you know that." Debbie scoffed, balancing on the chair."I did what?" Jerome questioned, coldly."You almost shut the door on my face!" Debbie half yelled."Life itself is mean. Now tell me why you are here." Jerome giggled mischievously."I'm here to check on you, Jerome," Debbie said."Hahaha, oh, I see. You are here to check on how miserable I am so you can laugh at me, huh?" Jerome chuckled painfully.Debbie moved closer to him and deemed her eyes worriedly."Jerome, believe it or not, I do care about you. So much. And I k
While still cuddling, Stacy reminded something."Jerome." She called."Mmm, baby," Jerome answered."How did it happen? I mean, what caused the whole launching to fail." Stacy inquired, drawing circles on his chest sending chill shivers down his spine."The system has contracted a virus," Jerome said."A virus?" Stacy repeated, looking surprised."Yes," Jerome replied.Stacy opened her mouth a bit."But don't you think it was a planned incident rather than just a coincidence like I had been seeing on the News? I meant to say that, you told me someone tried cutting a wire a few weeks back. I think that person has a link to this virus event." Stacy stated and Jerome found sense in what she said."You are right. Now that you've said it, my investigator was able to detect that the car was hacked, and now I'm so convinced that the person who cut the wires the first time is the same person who hacked or hired someone to hack the car so the launching will be a failure. And it's someone from
*The next day*It was early in the morning, and Jerome woke up, having it in mind to visit Debbie at her office as she told him to yesterday.He went to the kitchen and made a quick breakfast, as he had returned Stacy to the hospital yesterday night since the doctor had already instructed her not to stay up late.He arranged the food in a basket, added some chocolates, and took them to the car.He entered the car and zoomed off.*Debbie came to the company looking pale, suffering from a huge migraine.Her eyes were puffy and red, and her face was pale and swollen.She dived into her mails immediately, trying hard not to recall Liam or his betrayal.She heard a soft knock on the door and her eyes were fixed on the door."Come in," Debbie replied, rubbing her forehead as it hurt.The door was opened gently and Jerome walked in.Debbie was surprised. Yes, she was expecting him to come but knowing how egocentric Jerome was, she thought he wouldn't."Oh, Jerome, um. Welcome, have a seat."
At the hospital. Kelly walked into Stacy's ward after discussing with the doctor. She met Kelly looking happy. "So, what's making my big Sissy so excited," Kelly asked, pulling a seat forward. "I don't know. I'm just happy." Stacy answered. "That's good. What do you want for breakfast, I'm gonna go ahead and order." Kelly questioned. "Uhm, Jerome said he will get me some food. I don't know why he is taking so long to arrive." Stacy answered and Kelly was about to reply, her phone beeped. Kelly looked through her phone. "Oh my God!" She exclaimed and stood up. "What's going on?" Stacy asked, looking freaked out. "Um, nothing. It's nothing." Kelly answered, laughing. "Let me see it, then," Stacy said. "No, it's not for you, Stacy, don't worry about it," Kelly argued. "Was it about Jerome?" Stacy asked and Kelly's heart skipped. She could feel sweat thrilling down her forehead. "Of course, no, it can't be Jerome. Hahaha." Kelly said, stammering. "Let me have the phone, Ke
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
