Jerome was devastated, sad, confused, disappointed, and heartbroken, and Stacy wasn't making it any less difficult for him as she turned her back to him and refused to say a word.At the moment, he didn't care if the baby in her belly didn't belong to him, all he cared about was he genuinely loved her and that's all the matter.Jerome left the room and stood at the door crying hard.The old woman he had met previously, the sick old woman came up to him."Poor handsome boy. Why are you crying?" She asked, holding his hand, but Jerome couldn't utter anything. His throat was dry and numb."Come on, don't cry. Your wife will get better and you should have faith. Look at me, I was told I was going to die five years ago when I was diagnosed with cancer, but after a series of chemotherapy, which was never easy, look at me, I'm still alive. The doctors can say their time, but only the lord is the ultimate holder of power and he will completely heal your wife." She exclaimed.Her words didn't
The ambulance sped into the scene and helped Jerome into the car.On their way in the ambulance, Jerome kept on trying to convince the paramedic team that he was okay."Listen to me, the accident is minor, there is no need for you to take me to the hospital." Jerome protested."Please calm down, sir. You are bleeding, and you can't even keep your eyes open, we know what to do." One of the Nurses there said as she gave him a first aid treatment."The pains are not compared to the ones I feel in my heart, can you cure that too?" Jerome asked.They strangely looked at him and ignored the question."Um, by the way, who is your emergency contact so we can reach out to the person?" The asked."Sta...."Jerome paused as he was about to mention Stacy's name, he remembered what had transpired and the heartache came all over again."Alex." He muttered and when he was asked if Alex was a close relative, he told them he was his assistant.They took him to the nearby hospital and it was the same o
Alex called John to come get the car for repairs and he waited at the gate for John to arrive.John was surprised to see the car front was destroyed."What in the world happened to the car?" John asked."Well, Jerome was involved in an accident but he is fine now. He is resting as I'm talking to you. You should take the car for repairs." Alex instructed."What! Mr Jerome was involved in an accident?" John asked, his tension raising. He was amongst the few people that cared so much about Jerome, that too sincerely."I will go ahead and check up on him." He said already walking.Alex pulled him back."The doctor said he should rest so the headache can leave him. You know what, why don't we take the car to the mechanics together and once we are back, you get to see him, okay? By then I'm sure he must have felt better." Alex suggested.John was not too convinced but Alex was not giving him an option, nor a choice, it was more like a command."Okay," John replied, his expression sad and Al
Stacy was hastily leaving the room when out of nowhere, Debbie walked in.She folded her hands under her breast with a wicked grin."Where is tomatoes face rushing to?" Debbie asked.Stacy's heart skipped the moment she saw Debbie. She had become a nightmare, a terrible nightmare."Jerome had an accident and I'm sure it was because of me, because of what I told him. I need to see him, please." Stacy pleaded and made her way but Debbie dragged her back angrily, hitting her back on the wall."You are crazy, aren't you? If you see Jerome now, you might be tempted to tell him the truth and it would disrupt all what took me a while to plan! You aren't giving nowhere." Debbie yelled in a commanding tone.Stacy folded her hands, begging. She already looked half-dead."No, please, I promise I will do nothing of such, I need to see Jerome. Please don't stop me." Stacy pleaded."If you don't stop crying girl, you will soon turn blind. It's as if tears don't find it difficult to fall from your e
*Jerome's Mansion*Jerome turned on the television to try to vent away his sorrows and dwell his emotions into movies but he wasn't finding solace in any of it.The movies seemed boring and the romance only irritated him as it only brought him back to Stacy's memories.A sound coming from the doorbell got Jerome even more pissed as he wondered who must be there.He scoffed and went to the door and opened it, to his surprise, it was Stacy.He was supposed to be angry at her, and mad for lying to him and for breaking his heart but instead, he hugged her so tight, very excited to see her."I knew you would come back to me, I knew it, Stacy," Jerome exclaimed.Stacy, however, didn't hug him back, and that made himself and took a step back.Stacy stood there, still staring at him."Won't you let me in?" Stacy asked."Oh, um, no, I mean, yes, come in, please." Jerome stuttered and moved out of the door and Stacy walked in.Even though the house used to be her home, but today, as she stepped
"Thank you, for signing it," Stacy said and walked to the door, she was just about to leave when Jerome called her back."Stacy." He called, his voice shaking.She held her chest and closed her eyes before turning."Who was the father of your child?" Jerome asked and Stacy didn't expect him to ask her that but he did anyway."Liam," Stacy replied and she could see the disappointment in his eyes."So...all these while it has been him?" Jerome muttered, nodding his head."That was why he visited you that day at the hospital. Right?" Jerome asked.Even though Stacy knew that never happened but she only wanted a way out for them."Yes," Stacy responded with a numbness in her throat."You are so mean, do you know that? If Liam had been in your life, impregnated you, then why would you let me get attached to you and our...I mean your baby?""Stacy, I know I used to be cold and mean towards you but that doesn't mean you should hurt me this much. I don't deserve it." Jerome lamented."I'm sor
All through Stacy's drive to the hospital, she was in tears and couldn't hold herself.What hurts her more is how heartbroken she caused Jerome.Stacy got back to the hospital and was surprised to see Kelly as she didn't expect her.Kelly saw how red her eyes were."Oh my God, Stacy!" Kelly yelled and rushed to Stacy."What's wrong with you? What happened to you? Why we're tears in your eyes?" Kelly asked at once but Stacy, couldn't explain as she kept on crying.Kelly just stood there comforting her without having any idea what was going on until a paper Stacy was holding fell on the ground.Kelly let go of Stacy picked the paper from the ground and checked it.It then dawned on her what had happened."What! Oh my God, Jerome signed the papers. Stacy, why would you do that? Why would you listen to Debbie's threat? I knew we could lose the company but it's not worth giving up your love for it." Kelly scolded.Stacy just cried and sat on the bed."That was the best thing to do, Kelly.
Jerome locked himself away from everyone, the world entirely. Alex's attempts to get him out of the room or to make him at least eat something had always proven abortive.Debbie was excited about the divorce and she knew right now, at this moment the right time to shoot her shot.She looked her best, dressed up, and made the best and most expensive hairstyle, wore a fitted silk red gown that gave justice to her well-endowed curves, and a seductive red lipstick making her look like a Barbie doll. Imagine the beauty, right?As she arrived at Jerome's Mansion, she was met with Alex trying to drive out.She wasn't so happy seeing Alex as they hadn't been on good terms especially knowing that Alex was one of those who loved Jerome to be with Stacy.She ignored him and the cat walked towards the entrance door of Jerome's huge Mansion."Debbie!" She heard Alex call her back and she hissed before twisting her lips and looking in his direction."Yes, Alex." She replied."Are you here to see Je
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
