Alex looked away. He had been trying to control himself from sleeping since he arrived at the office. If he closes his eyes, he seems to be seeing either Rita or his dead daughter.It was a terrible State, for one to feel sleepy and yet afraid to sleep. He knows it definitely would show in his facial expression."I am fine dad" Alex replied, he sat beside his father and deliberately avoided eye contact with him.He doesn't know how to bring himself to tell him the experiences he has been having after Rita miscarried the pregnancy.Collins shook his head. "I am your father Alex and I have known you before you were ever able to pronounce your first word.I have known you long before you started blabbing and I have learnt to understand you even though you were blabbing and unable to express yourself.If you are fine, I wouldn't have asked you such a question like I did. If you need help, talk to your father and let me know what is reducing you to something so thin..."Alex didn't say any
She was happy and proud of Allen. A lot of women definitely have a crush on him and she has him all to herself, no rival, no fear of losing him.He looked so handsome and charming with a domineering aura. He arrived at the stage and hugged Alex before standing to face the audience.He had an ear microphone on as he looked over the audience seated and briefly into the camera before he started his speech." I specially welcome you all…" he began.A lot of people were listening from their homes and offices,especially their rivals. The eldest master of Lyon family was making new investments within the few years he took over the Group from his father.Rita was watching from the comfort of her sitting room. She saw President Lyon and how he hugged Alex.She hadn't seen Alex since the day Alfred embarrassed him in her hospital ward. He looked a little emaciated but still handsome as always.As Allen gave his speech, Rita's eyes were not on him nor was she hearing all he was saying.She kept h
Nicole didn't answer. He came closer and hugged her waist, bending a little and placing his head at the nook of her neck.He kissed her collarbone and Nicole shoved his head away. " Allen, please maintain your distance" she declared.Allen removed his suit. He chuckled softly. She is trying to repay him like he treated her.It wasn't time to sleep yet and Nicole went out, leaving Allen behind. She went and sat at the balcony, looking at the cars going to their various destinations.She hadn't called Rita for days now, she would check on her, thank goodness there won't be work the next day.Perhaps that's the reason why Allen came home that evening. She misses him a lot but doesn't want to throw herself at him.She had to feign annoyance with him for ignoring her a few days ago and for not talking to her since then. She expects him to miss her as much as she misses him.Allen bath and changed into casual wear. He went downstairs, searching for Nicole. He didn't see her and checked thro
Nicole suddenly blurted and looked at Allen. The latter paused and just stared at her. Have a daughter not have another child?Allen's cheerful stare gradually turned to poker. He hadn't discussed the issue of not wanting to have more kids with her, why the sudden request.They should be talking about getting married and not having a child. He was going to discuss their marriage with her tonight and she is coming from another direction.He was going to tell her they should get married even before his father suggested it earlier. It shouldn't be having a child or daughter as she said but getting married.Nicole saw his sudden quietness and knew he was thinking of what to say in response. She kept staring at him, running her hand on his temple and to his hair."I really want to have a daughter,"Nicole added and looked serious. She wants a girl and his mother wants one too."We already have two kids, what do you want another child for? I am actually ok with the two boys.." Allen finally
Don't want to sleep? Who ever says that? Lincoln wondered. He was temporarily rendered speechless. What is Alex saying?He called him at midnight and said he couldn't sleep. He left his cuzzy bed and went to him and tried helping him sleep only for him to tell him the next day that he doesn't want to sleep.That could lead to depression and eventually a psychiatric case. What sort of patient is Alex going to be?"Why are you quiet Lincoln? I thought you were going to ask me what happened that I said what I said" Alex demanded." Of Course I was going to ask you because a normal human wouldn't say such words. So tell me, what went wrong?" Lincoln asked."When I couldn't sleep, I was worried but after taking the pill and I slept, the nightmares I had almost sent me crazy for the entire day.It's only after my dad visited me that I was able to be cheerful. And this evening, after my brother's speech, I felt relieved and lifted and my mood has greatly improved" Alex pexplained.Alex squin
Nicole pushed him away. " Not today, I wanted it that day" she replied and Allen gave a grin. He pulled her back to himself." I want to fulfill your request today since I couldn't that day. You should thank me for trying to be nice" Allen declared.Thank him indeed. Nicole avoided his lips and Allen was hunting for it. One was saying no and the other was saying yes." I don't need that request to be fulfilled again. When I wanted you, you said no and now you are ready.You are not fulfilling my request, you are in need of it yourself. So you are not getting it tonight " Nicole stated, using his words back at him.Allen smiled. She was saying it just like he said to her a few days ago ' you are not getting it tonight' he remembered." Women should learn to be grateful when men try to be benevolent to them, you ought to say thank you.."Allen teased and Nicole started laughing. He also laughed.It's rare for Allen to laugh that much. Himself doesn't know when he laughs so loud if not wh
He soon joined them and jogged. The family of four had a nice time that morning and Allen sat in the garden intending to discuss the forthcoming birthday when Alex arrived.He saw his brother and Nicole sitting together and the younger fellas with them. They each sat on their parents' thighs.They saw their uncle and jumped down from their parents' thighs and ran towards their uncle screaming " uncle Alex!" "Uncle Alex"His unhappy mood disappeared. He smiled broadly and squatted, bringing himself to the height of the boys.He embraced them, and held him close to himself. He missed them greatly. Why would their dad restrained him from being with them?Nicole saw Alex's action and knew he missed his nephews. She glanced briefly at Allen and saw him totally immersed in his phone.Why the sudden concentration on his phone when Alex arrived as if he was not the one talking and gisting with her a few minutes ago." Hello Alex" Nicole passed a greeting to the happy uncle. He placed his arms
They all poured themselves drinks and made a toast before they drank. The boys were happy at the news of their parents getting married.They only know the most important thing about their parents getting married is that their mummy wasn't going to leave their daddy and them again like they've always feared.The adults sat down and the boys soon ran off, bored to be with the adults who didn't know how to run around." When is the date for the wedding?" Lincoln asked and Nicole said three weeks time but they needed to know the auspicious day.Nicole said they hadn't informed Allen's parents yet and she, besides Aunt May, doesn't have anyone else to inform.Lincoln was already there and he is the only immediate family she knows. They would do that first before deciding on the particular day to choose.While the adults talk and chat, Alex forgot his challenge. He looked so vibrant and active. One wouldn't know what he was facing at the moment." Before the wedding, my sons birthday comes
"I love you Rita like I had never loved anyone" Alex said and gently raised her head, capturing her lips.He started kissing her. It was a kissing of reunion. Alex was starving for her lips, he dragged her to the sofa and made her seat on his thighs.They both were graving for each other. It was as if they both were waiting to be charged by the other." Let's go upstairs" Alex finally suggested, holding his breath and raising Rita to come along.Actually, how they arrived at the bedroom, non of them can explain. The kisses were making them ask for something intimate.Rita hasn't done it in a long time. When she became Pregnant and told Alex, he never made love to her again.It's about clocking a year and she missed that stuff a lot. But Alex he was doing it out there with his girlfriends.Rita could feel his hardness poking her and she burned for desire. She wants him inside of her.She pulled off the strap of his robe and the latter was in his boxer alone. " I want you to make love t
Two days later, Alex returned from the office and was told Amaya had gone to stay the night over at Tim and Leon's place.He said ok. He arrived home late. He took his showers and changed into a night robe before coming downstairs to take a glass of milk.While taking it, he sat at the kitchen stool and was thinking about his life for the past couple of months.He can't believe he was still the same Alex as few months ago. He now lives his life without thinking about a woman. He hadn't had sex in those months and never imagine he could stay without a woman in a week.He was promiscuous and everyone around him knows it. But he feels ok and was glad that was the only good thing he got from the loss of that Pregnancy.He would ask Mia out the next day for lunch and start from there. He can't keep himself like an impotent man because Rita wouldn't take him back.If they move on well, he would propose to her. She's just like Rita in every sense of the word. On looks, height and her charism
Aunt May was now fine. The only challenge is that she can only Walk with the help of crutches.She was happy to see Nicole. She had always been in-door and has a doctor who comes around to check on her. She was improving fast.At the time of Lincoln's wedding, she had become conscious but couldn't get out of bed. She had blessed him and said she wish she could come along.But no worries, she would be cheering him on from afar. Lincoln felt happy and thanked her before going to be wedded.Lincoln's wedding was glamorous, better than Nicole and Allen's. They went to have their honeymoon outside the city and from there, went to see Lanre's foster parents.They returned few days ago and Nicole has come to see them. Lincoln wasn't in when she arrived.She was welcomed by Rose and Aunt May. The three women were happy and chatting together.Nicole's baby bump was already portruding and she looked a little chubbier than before.Aunt May said she looked forward to nursing her baby as it's gran
Timothy saw Nicole and Allen's wedding photos and couldn't believe his eyes. Was Allen the man Nicole claimed was the father of her kids and in love with?He saw the photos of the two boys and was left speechless. The appearance of the boys has spoken for itself that they are Allen's kids.But is Nicole their mother? Timothy shook his head. No wonder she refused to be remarried to him.She was with President Lyon. Thank goodness,he didn't think of doing anything silly to her after they left the court that day.Alex has now completely forgotten about Rita. But he knew he can't always remain like this. He needed to find someone he would fall in love with and stayed glued to her.As for Rita he has completely forgotten about her. He was moving on with his life and he wished her happiness.He loves her and till tomorrow, he would still love her. But love means letting that other person go. He wants her to be happy.But if her happiness doesn't lie with him, he would let her go. If she som
Jessica was lost. The question President Lyon asked her sent goosebumps through her entire body.She had indeed committed a grievous offence. Now that her sins were discovered, there is no hiding for her.She doesn't know what awaits her. Abigal's two kids are standing before her and the soul of Daniel would never let her have a peaceful end."Untap their mouths" Allen ordered and his bodyguards went ahead. The two women were a little bit free.Two magnificent seats were brought and Allen brought his wife to sit on one and beckoned Rose to sit on the other.He and Lincoln both sat behind their women and stared at the mother and daughter pair before them."Now back to my question, tell me besides wanting to have my father, why else did you separate me from my mother and finally murdered her.." Lincoln demanded.The fact that his mother died because of her quest to have her son back has never ceased to make him feel sobered.This was his first time meeting his step mother and he was goi
Nicole gave Allen her hand and he held her up from the bedside chair. As they were about to go, Allen asked that Lincoln and Rose should come along.They got into their car while the others got into theirs. As soon as he got in and shut the door,Allen started kissing Nicole. He hasn't had a good kiss since morning.He was holding, kissing and caressing her all at the same time. Thank goodness he remembered to draw the demarcation otherwise, the chauffeur might be caught between concentrating on the steering or staring at them from the rear mirror.Theresa knew that night was going to be hot. She and Allen were definitely going to deal with each other on the bed.As the car drove into a certain direction, Allen let Nicole go and looked out at the window.The chauffeur drove into an old factory and stopped. Allen stepped down and held Nicole's hand till she stepped out as well."What are we doing here?Nicole asked as Lincoln also stepped out. At this time, the two men were having their
Allen was dressed in a designer suit with a purple necktie. On his wrist was a golden wristwatch and on his feet was a shining designer buckle shoes whose appearance alone foretold how expensive it was.Tim and Leon were dressed in the same way as their father. They three look identical except that one looked older than the two fellas.Allen was waiting for Nicole at the bureau. He looked splendid and sophisticated. His thin pink lips matching with his well carved V- face and a charming temple makes him look like an idol.His hair was well taken care of and it glitters as if it was permed. The same goes for his boys and they look attractive.Collins and his wife Candice were present. His uncle Garry and his family were present as well.Alex came along with his daughter Amaya. Those were the immediate family that were present.Nicole was all set. Her wedding dress was beautiful. It's a square neck wedding dress with shiny stones arranged on its front part as designs.Her jewellers were
Nicole glanced at Allen, but he was having this 'i don't care attitude'. He seemed to be fully immersed on the phone in his hands.A quiet smile slightly tilted on his lips. The two people who want a daughter and granddaughter who look like either of them. They would be surprised that the girl was going to look like him. That's if it's a girl that has just been formed." Yes mum. I just confirmed that I am pregnant today and I know it's going to be a girl" Nicole was confident." Oh Nicole dear!" Candice cannot hide her surprise and happiness. She heldNicole's hands and smiled.Allen watched them from his split vision. The two women were happy and the younger woman was being treated like a celebrity.His mother was feeling really pleased that they were getting married that weekend. She said the timing was perfect that her granddaughter is planted in Nicole's womb at the right time.She told her not to stress herself nor do anything that would wear her out. The servants were enough to
Davis was speechless. She's blaming him now? How can she be angry with him that he hit him? Was she expecting him to pocket his hands and allow a man like himself to hit him?Is that how much she loves him? There seems not to be a green light for him in her sight. He was just wasting his time."But Rita, he was the one who hit me first? How am I to be blamed if I retaliate?" David asked."You provoked him. You called him a hooker. If someone calls you that, would you be happy?Or tell me, when did I discuss my ex-husband with you? Who told you he chases anything in skirts? Who fed you such horrible words about him?Now listen to me, from henceforth, don't come look for me. I don't want you anywhere around me and I already made it clear to you that we can only be friends.But you have crossed the Rubicon when you insult and raise your hand against Julia. So I am not interested in being your friend anymore.." Rita declared and turned around.Davis stood like someone watching a play and
