"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
Debbie's dreams finally come true as Jerome signs the marriage contract."So, when should we get married?" Debbie asked."I don't know, anytime you feel you are ready. Then we will go the court and marry each other." Jerome answered and her excitement faded with the mention of court."Court marriage?" Debbie asked."Yeah, do you have a problem with that?" Jerome replied." A very big problem! Jerome, we cannot get married in the court. I have a dream wedding that I want to do in my wedding. We have to convince the world that we are getting married and that we are partners from now on. And we cannot do that until we organize a grand waiting, a talk of the town wedding." Debbie exclaimed loudly."Our wedding should be the talk of the town, come on!" Debbie stated.Jerome rubbed his forehead."Just do whatever you want. Make your arrangements, please. And let me rest for now." Jerome said."Fine. I'm gonna make this the best wedding to ever exist. Bye." Debbie replied and kissed his fore
Mr. Adams returned to his Mansion after meeting with Jerome. And as usual, Jerome never failed to disrespect him and spoiled his mood despite feeding his with news that worth celebrating.As he parked his car, he realized that his door was opened, and he wondered who, as he stays alone.He skeptically pushed the door opened and walked in, only to find Ryan pacing up and down, looking furious like he will explode any minute.Ryan, what are you doing here?" Mr Adams asked as he shut the door behind him."And why are you so angry?" He added."And why won't I be angry when I just heard from the board members that Jerome was appointed back as the CEO, without even consulting me!" Ryan yelled."Now I don't see why you are angry, you clearly know that removing Jerome as the CEO and you replacing him was all a plan to force him into accepting marrying Debbie, which he did." Mr Adams replied."And what now? You just used and dump me! Do you know how difficult it will be for me to be under Jero
A week later.Jerome was able to get back his position and his company's license was given back to continue operations.Debbie kept to her promise and she had been of great help to him in securing back investors which reduced the losses, the protests had also stopped and the family of Xavier had dropped the case and accepted compensation from Jerome.In a nutshell, Jerome was able to get back everything he had lost within a week, but he still felt empty inside. He became quiet, always locked himself up, and didn't smile.His wedding with Debbie had spread across the entire continents of the world and prestigious organizations were invited as well as famous artists.Jerome resumed office and everything started to go on well.He was at his office and Alex entered and found him at a particular spot he always found him."When will you stop staring at this spot?" Alex muttered as he sat down.Jerome walked and took his seat."For as long as I don't find an answer to why Stacy left. And it
*The Next Morning*Jerome woke up early and was prepared.He vowed not to repeat the mistake he made in his first launching and made sure the car was tried and checked before any other thing.After making sure everything was going smoothly, Jerome then ordered some of his trusted staff to stay with the car until it was time for the launch.The hall was decorated and a massive turnout made Jerome surprised.He had thought that after what happened, no one would show up but he was wrong as more guests showed up.It was time for him to dedicate the car before the launch and he was anxious as he walked to the podium."Hello, ladies and gentlemen. Thank you for accepting my invitation and turning up again for the relaunch of my autonomous car. To be honest, after what happened the first time, I thought no one would show up, but you all surprised me and I have to say I'm so thankful for the support I received from you." Jerome exclaimed and a loud clapping was made by the guest's arrival. Wh
Stacy couldn't believe it After believing she would do all this she was grateful to God for performing a miracle as that was what she thought...A miracle.Kelly and Stacy jumped hugging each other.They were beyond excited."Doctor, does that mean that I can't finally get out of this hospital?" Stacy asked."The only reason we held you sad is because the pregnancy was dangerous, but now it is not, you are free to leave anytime you feel you are ready." The doctor exclaimed."Stacy, I think we should tell Jerome," Kelly said.Stacy's face quickly transformed into a sad one."Um, I'm sorry for everything that happened between you and Mr Jerome. I saw the News." The doctor stated."You staying all these while in the hospital had drawn a special bond amongst you, Jerome, and me, and I felt you were family. I'm sorry that everything suddenly went downhill and I think Kelly is sad right? Mr Jerome was doing everything to make sure you survived it." The doctor added."Can we please don't tal
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
