Timothy wondered what Amanda had to tell him. They haven't been on good terms for a while since he saw Nicole.His heart and thoughts always go to her. He wants to meet with her and apologise for the past but hasn't gotten the chance.That has invariably affected his affection with Amanda coupled with the failed attempt on IVF.Amanda looked at him with irritation in her eyes. He was sleeping with her sister just the way he was sleeping with her when Nicole was still his wife.Was he destined to live dirty? How can someone be sleeping with two sisters? What a filthy fellow he is."What do you want to discuss with me?" Timothy asked in a husky voice. He doesn't have time to waste with her."I was invited to lunch by mum a few days ago. She was concerned about our inability to have a baby yet and therefore suggested surrogacy.She called me today to say that she had found a suitable surrogate Mother for us. I think we should take advantage of this rare opportunity and go for Surrogacy"A
"Alex, this is the second time you are coming to check on us. Have you been able to catch some sleep?"Alex froze. Nicole wasn't sleeping? She knows he came around, even twice? He had thought she was sleeping and was wondering how she could sleep comfortably on a sofa while watching over a patient.She never ceases to amaze him. Every single action of hers leaves him surprised. But this particular one makes me admire her greatly."I thought you were sleeping?" Alex said. He couldn't find himself to say anything else at the moment."I am staying with my boyfriend and expect me to sleep with my two eyes closed? When you opened the door and I saw you were the one, I closed my eyes knowing you can't harm him.But if anyone else comes in, I will stand up and watch. Even if it's the doctors"Nicole explained, still lying with her side on the sofa."You impress me Nicole, and I like you a lot,"Alex said and smiled. Nicole pouted her lips and said she would tell Allen when he wakes up that his
Nicole stayed calm and stared at the woman seated in front of her. She came here to accuse her of sleeping with Timothy?Has she become short of men that she would go shameless with Timothy? The man she married and only kissed him at their wedding.Besides that kiss publicly, they never kissed or went intimate again. After the fellow had done so much harm to her, she would go and get intimate with him?What kind of woman does Jessica take her for? She thinks she is dirty and filthy like her ungroomed daughter who was having affairs with Timothy when she was still married to him?"You are speechless right? You didn't expect that your secret affairs would be discovered. I don't expect you to go shamelessly with your brother-in-law.Anyways, I can spare you if you promise to stop seeing Timothy and stay away from him. Secondly I have a condition in order to keep your secret safe.I can see that you are doing well in the Lyon Group, and I guess you wouldn't want your secret to be exposed.
Brenda was escorted to a room where her husband was waiting for her. Peter saw his wife and shook his head. Is this how she had been reduced to in less than 24hours?He blamed himself for having allowed his wife to interfere with the break up between Allen and his daughter Joane.Brenda's eyes seemed to have gone hollow and her eyes puffy. Her hair unkept and the look of someone who is undergoing depression was written all over her."Peter, get me out of here. You are living in luxury and I am stuck here behind bars.." Brenda angrily said.Seeing Peter seated before her, she felt he wasn't trying enough. Otherwise he would have been able to get an attorney to bail her and defend Derrick"You think I have not been trying enough or that I am comfortable seeing you and my Son locked up in the police station? Everything that is happening to us was as a result of the misuse of your tongue.Derrick is the only heir to the Cooper family and business. He is behind bars and you think things c
Allen chuckled as her lips met his. He was surprised that Nicole was not shy of his parents and brother and kissed him.He kissed her back. It was brief but he liked it. Nicole soon pulled away and smiled. That was when she raised herself properly and looked at the others present in the ward.She bowed slightly before his parents and she got a megawatt smile from them. As for Alex they have seen each other too often throughout the day.Allen's parents said Nicole was welcome any time to share a dinner with them. She's welcome to Lyon residence.Allen said she would come as soon as he's well. He would be the one to bring her home.Collins smiled when he heard Allen's words. This was the first time he's looked cheerful when matters about him and a woman were mentioned.He knows his Son has found a woman that makes him happy and fulfilled. He can't imagine how beautiful a home the duo will make together with their two kids.Candice said that Nicole is beautiful and respectful. She's an i
Allen shook the thoughts off and looked at Nicole " I will get everything back to you that you lost to your ex husband.And I will make him regret it and come begging on his knees before you" Nicole promised.He made her lose everything, but she will gain it all back. He would love her and make her appreciate the fact that he was the one who took her that night."Thank you Allen"Nicole appreciated. Alex said he would watch out for Jessica and her daughter coming to pester her again in the company.Nicole went home to see the kids and bring dinner. She changed into another pair of clothes and returned to the hospital.It was past 8pm when she returned. She saw Xiochi one of the company's secretaries, waiting at the reception.The latter saw Nicole and smiled. She asked what she was doing and Nicole said her boyfriend was involved in an accident and she was here with him.Xiochi said she was waiting for her boyfriend as well and the two parted. When Nicole got inside, she saw that Allen
He stared at her side view, turned to him and waited but Nicole didn't say anything nor turned to stare at him.The entire ward was quiet and Allen took her hand in his. "I know you are beginning to think of giving me a chance in your heart Nicole.Or better still, you are already falling in love with me. Confess your feelings to me and make me know there's someone out there who loves me.I had loved you right from that day you slapped me in my office because you discovered I was the man four years ago.I haven't stopped thinking about you hence I told you to stay away from Alex and every other man. I wanted you to be my woman alone.I love you. I don't think I have said those words to any woman before but I am sure of what I feel for you. Love me too Nicole, please love me"Allen said in a solemn voice.Nicole's tears run down her cheeks. "I don't want to love at all. I have suffered betrayal and I have been abused and taken advantage of.I had thought I won't develop feelings for any
"Why are you so furious and angry if Nicole and I have been seeing each other? She is an orphan, why are you after someone who has no parents to defend her like you who now defend your daughter?If you had taught your daughter not to open her legs to her brother in-law, perhaps you wouldn't have been filled with so much grievance and unwarranted fear.I was sleeping with Amanda when Nicole was still my wife. Why didn't you frown at it? Amanda is a filthy and ungroomed woman. She's so without a conscience.So first,work on yourself and your smelly daughter before pointing accusing fingers at Nicole and I"Timothy retorted back at Jessica.Jessica was so furious that she was going to slap Timothy across the face when Penny intercepted and held her wrist, leaving it suspended in the air.Penny stared at Jessica with a killing intent and her eyes were like Sparks of fire.The two women stared at each other, each giving out vibes of anger. Jessica was looking angrier than Penny.She can't
"I met her and straightened out the crooked path between us. She seemed pacified after I gave her the documents in my possession.I also transferred her shares of the profit generated so far. So practically I don't have any grudge against her nor does she have any against me.." Timothy was explaining.But Amanda squinted. She was listening to all Timothy was explaining with a happy spirit. But why does she feel he was referring to her sister?Straightened crooked paths, gave her documents and a share of the profit so far! Who exactly can it be if not Nicole?But no, Timothy wouldn't attempt to do something like that without seeking her consent or her mother's. He won't dare try it.She was thinking too much for an impossible thing. Mum had adopted a cunning way to twist the properties and documents from Nicole's hands.He can't just sprout up and give it back to her in the name of straightening crooked paths. He won't do something so crazy." Tell me darling, who's the woman you've be
Allen was quiet, listening to the argument between his woman and his brother. Nicole is decent and a role model for other women to emulate."You don't love her but you like to drink from her well right? You don't love her but the child she is carrying interests you.How can you say that Alex? I don't know if I can ever fall in love with any man. The past was always hunting me until I met Allen.I hated myself initially like I should strangulate him. But now Alex's, words can't express how much I feel for him right now.I initially accepted him because of my kids. What can I do, I can't change the fact that he is their father. But now, I love him more than I ever thought I can and I am still Loving him daily.So even if you don't love her, accept her for the baby's sake. You will develop feelings for her and you both will be happy like I am happy now" Nicole declared." You are different. You had made sacrifices and now you deserve to be loved and to also love. I want to marry a woman
Alex was blindfolded and the two boys were playing hide and seek. He would be searching for them and they kept dodging him.Their parents walked in, without the door making any sound. They saw that Alex was searching for them with his hands and touching the various sofas in the large sitting room.Nicole beckoned to the boys to be quiet.She and Allen stood and watched. Alex looked pitiful because the boys would pass right between his thighs and giggled and he wouldn't be able to seize them."You little brats. I see you guys are smart like your father, but you don't worry, I will get you" Alex was bragging.The boys giggled and each said "uncle come and get me!" And Alex will walk in the direction of the voice. But the boys would have left the place.Nicole was laughing but covered her mouth. Allen just stood expressionlessly. He remembered this was their favorite game when they were kids.It has always been him and Alex except when there are children of their parents' friends who come
Allen always smells fine. He is a clean freak and takes proper care of his body. No wonder his toiletries were the best and he had bought the same product of his toiletries for her, the feminine type."Tell me everything babe" Allen demanded." It's a long story, sweet, but I will try to summarize it," Nicole replied, adjusting herself to rest her head on the nook of his neck.Allen smiled quietly. She just referred to him as sweet. He doesn't know if she said it by chance or she meant it. He would listen to her conversation the entire evening and see if she would still call him that."He was sorry. He apologized and to show how remorseful he was, he returned my documents and papers signed by my father to me as the co heir to the Elias business.He knew I had children and they are products of that night. He wants me to make him the father of my kids.Lastly, he wants me to come back to him as his wife. He was going to be through with the divource processes with his wife and then I wil
Nicole looked at him with irritation. No one is asking him to narrate any story. Infact, she doesn't have the time for such nonsense.Timothy was embarrassed. He didn't know she was going to get irritated by what he was saying. He was trying to make her heart soften so she can readily let go of her grudge against him.He wasn't pleading on behalf of Amanda and her mother, he was pleading for himself alone."Alright I will skip the unnecessary and go straight to the point"Timothy paused, and sighed audibly before he continued "I am sorry for everything I did to you in the past.I was totally wrong and I have known no happiness since I married Amanda …"Timothy was pleading.Nicole was just staring at him. She doesn't know what to say or think about Timothy's pleading.Is she going to think about what his mother said to her and how she dragged her long hair on the floor until she passed out?Or she should think about how horrible he was when he sent his lawyer after her while on the hosp
Timothy was asking if she was going to come over to meet him or if he should stop by and pick her up.Nicole hissed when she saw the message. He must be feeling excited that she agreed to go to dinner with him.If it wasn't for Allen who persuaded her, she wouldn't have gone anywhere near him. She replied and said she would join him if he sent her the address.Quickly the address was sent to her and she realised that he had chosen a quiet garden hotel.She forwarded the address to Allen before she continued with her work. She can't take chances with Timothy again in her entire life.He had drugged her and Amanda had helped her into a hotel room and they hired a hooker to rape her. That was when she was still Mrs Friday.She can imagine a man who can do that to his legal wife, would do so much more for her than he did before, especially since she is not his wife and not ready to be a surrogate Mother for him and Amanda.Meanwhile, Penny and Jessica met in a grocery store. The two women
Aretha was lost. Allen's girlfriend? If she's not mistaken, the Allen she's talking about is the same as President Lyon,Alex's elder brother.She was a little calm. She let Nicole hold her hands. Her suspicion that she might be Alex's girlfriend was dissipated."You mean President Lyon,Thee Allen Lyon?" Aretha asked to be sure. Nicole gave a nod. She saw the surprise on her face and knew she least expected her to be Allen's woman." Alex is a friend as well. He told us about you" Nicole paused and withdrew her hands from Aretha, picking up a glass of juice, she had a quick sip."Yeah. He told you I am pregnant right?" Aretha asked. She took a glass of her juice and sipped as well. She knew for Nicole to come to see her, it implies that he must have told them about the pregnancy."Yes. He told us that you are pregnant" Nicole answered honestly. If Alex hadn't told them about the pregnancy, how else would she have known about it?Aretha was quiet. She wants Nicole to go ahead with what
Allen completely ignored his question. What kind of person was Alex? He is egoistic with his woman and doesn't want to beg her to keep the pregnancy.He was not ready to marry her either. He is looking for someone who will come in between to persuade Rita not to abort the pregnancy.Does someone get egoistic with a woman he had slept with? He doesn't know what to think or say about this pride of his.If Nicole hadn't taken the initiative to intervene, he would have left things the way they are.A man should be responsible for his actions. He is now responsible for his sons and Alex should be responsible to the mother of his unborn baby and the baby itself."Nicole may ask you to accompany her to a dinner with her ex-husband, go with her but maintain a distance. I may likely show up there but I didn't tell her that.." Allen instructed.Alex said Ok. He would talk with Nicole and ask her what she's going to do to help him talk to Aretha. She mustn't abort that pregnancy.When Nicole arr
Allen chuckled. How nice it would have been to have an elder sister or a sister as a sibling. She's so meticulous and talks like a mother that she truly is.He stood up and went to stand before the mirror. He looked at the treated wound and saw that Nicole did it well.She came and stood beside him. She saw him looking at himself and subconsciously raised his hand and touched the wound."You may need to use a waterproof bandage when going to take your bath. Help the wound to disappear quickly and be free" Nicole instructed.Allen looked at her from the mirror and they both glanced at each other. "Thank you," he said sincerely.Nicole saw him being sincere and was moved. He had suddenly been quiet while she was taking care of the wound and only talked when she ask him a question.She smiled and turned to leave when Allen held her by the wrist. He pulled her to himself and stood looking into her eyes."I love you Nicole," Allen confessed. Before Nicole could reply, he bent slightly and
