There was silence for quite a few seconds. No one expected such foul words from Alex. Even Allen wasn't expecting his brother to say such words.He sighed and massaged the bridge between his eyes. He seemed to look at Joane from his split vision and saw that Alex was actually right.He wanted to laugh but stopped himself from laughing out loud in order not to provoke the Coopers further.Alex is an asshole. He had never taken note of that aspect and besides what does that implies? Everyone has their own peculiarities and it goes the same for men.Some men can have large things while others are almost the size of a chopstick. Allen found himself holding back his laughter with great difficulty."Momma!!"Joane sobbed out and shrugged into her mother's arms. Not only has she been rejected, she was bullied and now she has been insulted.She can't take it anymore. She has lost her pride before the Lyon. If such insults get out there, she would lose face completely.Brenda Cooper was fuming
"Ambulance!!, Someone get the ambulance!!"Alex screamed and several bodyguards rushed in and saw what was going on.Peter ran over to give a hand but Collins with a drop of tears in his eyes yelled "keep away!!" .Derrick suddenly seemed to realise what he had done. He shot the eldest master of the Lyon family and killed him in cold blood right in the Lyon's residence?Joane hides her face. She had never seen a bloody scene like this before. Brenda was shivering.What had Derrick done? Their lives were never going to be the same ever again. She saw Carol sobbing as the two bodyguards helped Allen into a stretcher.He had fallen into unconsciousness already. But the bleeding was severe. The entire floor was filled with blood and despite trying to stop it with a gauze, it was oozing out."Someone call the police" Collins ordered and Alex said the police were on their way.Wanju shivered and walked towards Collins He wanted to explain to him that it wasn't what he thought. But he soon he
Alex least expected to see Nicole in the hospital. She stood at the door and her eyes rested on Allen lying unconscious on the bed.He had blood being transfused into him and an oxygen mask on his nose. He looked weak and paled on the bed where he laid.When she saw the handsome, vibrant and charming Allen in this predicament, she couldn't help but start sobbing aloud.As soon as Alex saw Nicole's puffy red eyes, he knew she had almost cried her eyes out. But seeing her sob afresh makes him feel a little sorry for her.Collins and Candice saw Nicole and guessed she must be the woman that gave birth to their grandsons. They saw her then at the amusement park.Nicole walked closer and passed by Allen's parents and son and went to hold Allen's feet. His feet were white and his skin was like a baby's. She held it and let it touch her chest as if she was hugging his feet."Allen, what happened to you?" She sobbed and her tears dropped on his feet. Alex went to her and held her, pulling her
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
Lincoln held Rose by her waist and kissed the nook of her neck before he asked her to excuse him to have a quick shower and come downstairs.Rose said Ok. She sank into the sofa and admired the house. At the annex of the building lies where his cook and servants lived.It's such a large house and truly befit his status as a medical doctor. Though she hasn't been to the bedroom but was certain that it was going to be looking magnificent.If she and Lincoln eventually got married someday, she would be living in this house. Rosa looked at herself and closed her eyes, waiting for that day to arrive soon.She soon heard a knock on the door. She guessed it was going to be Nicole. Lincoln was expecting her and they would be having dinner together in his place.She stood up and went to the door, peeping through the cat eye, she saw Nicole and Allen. She smiled, he came along with his Fiancee?She opened the door and came face to face with her friend and her fiance. Nicole smiled and winked an
"...As the major shareholder of the company, I have decided that the position of the President, occupied by Timothy will be replaced by myself. I will take over the company and preside over it.But in the meantime, I want an administrator to be in control for the next one month until I am ready to return and take over officially.." Nicole was explaining.Amanda didn't hear anything again. Something definitely had gone wrong between Timothy and Nicole.The look on the face of Timothy doesn't seem like someone who sold or willingly gave out his shares of the company. What's happening?She hadn't been on talking terms with Timothy after the divorce, hence she cannot ask him what happened.Despite all her mother had done to push Nicole out, she was not only unable to push her down,but had allowed her to take root downward and grow branches outward.Now she becomes the number one person when Elias business is being mentioned. How was she able to attain such privilege?Tiana's heart was won
That night, Nicole had contacted the company's lawyer. Since she's now the 75% owner of the Elias business, she decides what goes on in the company and who she can appoint over it.She asked that a message be sent to Amanda to meet with her and the others the next day by 9am.She told Allen what her plans are and he supported her. She should make it known that she owns the largest share of the company and hence, no decision should be made without seeking her consent first.But Allen doesn't want Nicole to resign. He wants her around him in the Lyon Group. He therefore advised that she chose someone to preside over it and gives her feedback on all that is going on.Nicole said she felt she needed to take over the company. She can't be working as an employee at the Lyon Group and yet, employ someone to preside over her company.Allen said it's for a few months. As soon as they are married, she can collaborate with the Lyon Group and work together from a large umbrella.That way, she can
Timothy's eyes were red. He looked haggard like a man whose wife fled away with his kids." We have to leave mum. I don't want the law enforcement agents to come after you and throw you out. But if that is what you want, I will leave and let them manhandle you.." Timothy was persuading his mother.How can he tell her that the woman he told her he was going to bring back to her as her daughter in-law has gotten all that he owned.And thanks to his unlearned lawyer. If he should have outlined the other side of it to him. He wouldn't have ventured into such a risky adventure.He couldn't get Nicole back and his lifelong investment and savings are all gone to her. He wished he hadn't attempted to get her back." Tell me what happened? You can't just tell me I have to vacate the house that I have lived with your father for years before his death.This is the only valuable asset I have inherited from my late husband and you want me to leave it simply because you said so?" Penny demanded."
Lincoln went upstairs and had a quick shower. He was eager to sit behind his computer and see through the email sent to him.He switched the computer on and logged into his email. There was the hospital record of his mother when she delivered her babies.It's an old hospital at the present. People hardly go there these days, especially when they have the city hospital where Lincoln works and the Lyon hospital owned by Allen's family.But the Rehoboth hospital where Lincoln and his twin sister were born, though outdated, still has their old records intact.That was how Lincoln's professional colleague got that information from the archive and sent it to him privately.There laid his mother's picture at the side. This was the woman whose picture he had seen before. But this time, it looks bold and the face clearer.The face is somewhat similar to Nicole's? Yes he gets it clearly now, when he first saw the woman's picture, he felt he knew a face that is similar to it.But now, it's clear
With all and he evidences well examined and ascertain to be authentic and genuine, the magistrate looked towards Timothy and asked:" Do you have anything else to say?" He inquired. Before Timothy could plead for leniency, Mitchel declared that he was not qualified to say anything else after being unfair to his ex wife." For the reasons tabled, I dismissed this case with Timothy compensating his ex wife with a sum of two hundred million yuan. He is to pay everything or his assets sold and used to compensate his wife for being an unfilial husband and ruthless.." the magistrate declared.The order was to be taken into effect immediately. His assets were tabled and he was asked to give up his 25%share of the Elias business and his house.Yet the two hundred million yuan was not complete. Having no option, he gave up his mother's house as well and his car.He was left with nothing. He felt like sobbing but the tears would not come. Everything was lost. He had nothing left to himself. He
Mitchel Presley! A direct trainee under Garry Lyon the wizard of law! He was said to follow in the steps of his boss and has never lost a case.In Garry's absence, he's the next best choice for difficult cases. He was said to have studied law from the University of London.He is tall and broad chested.Derek saw him and for a while lost his composure. Is this the fellow that Nicole hired to contend with them in the court of law?Looks like they are doomed to fail. Behind Mitchel are two lawyers who are likely his assistant and an intern student.The Magistrate walked in exactly the time the case was to begin. Everyone stood up until the magistrate took his seat again.Derek stood up and introduced himself as the attorney for Timothy. Mitchel smiled and introduced himself as representing Nicole.They sat around a roundtable and the magistrate began the case. Timothy has complained about his wife Nicole who left home a few years ago and refused to return despite pleas from her husband.A
Rose glanced back at him. It was all her fault. Countless times she had regretted her actions and wished she could restore things to the way it used to be but Lincoln didn't give her a chance.But now,he initiated the reconciliation and she intends to take advantage of it. "I am sorry for everything I did. It was all my fault" Rose said, her eyes teary."I don't want you to blame yourself. Everyone makes mistakes and I made too. But I want us to get back together and this time, strengthen our bond…" Lincoln said, looking at his wristwatch again before starting the ignition.He was running late already. "I promise, we won't experience this again in our relationship"Rose promised.Lincoln smiled and said he hopes so. " All the same, there is a lot we need to talk about. And at a more convenient time, I have a confession to make, " Lincoln said as his facial expression changed a little.He had to tell her about Nancy. If he didn't tell her, she is not going to know but he will feel that
Nicole suddenly remembered. She was meeting Timothy in court that day. But she felt tired. Her entire body was sore and her waist was burning hot within her."I'm weak and tired. You are so merciless" Nicole complained. He had to vent his desire on her and went too hot. She wondered how she was able to endure the torture and not passed out.But he could stand and stare at her as if nothing happened. He was still as strong as usual."I will shower first and get you breakfast and lunch together. It was you who thought I wasn't working hard enough and I have to show you how hardworking I can be" he retorted and laughed out loud.Nicole pouted her lips. Allen never laughed this much before. He laughed so long? This is impressive. She had thought he didn't know how to laugh so much.Rose wanted her mother to have her lunch. She had been on drip for hours and the one Lincoln said should be administered to her was finished too.She went to find Lincoln in his office. He was done checking on
