TOO GOOD TO LEAVE TOO BAD TO STAY Chapter Seventy-Nine
I was weak to the knees when I returned home. My meeting with Kathy got me thinking about a lot of not-good scenarios. Possibilities of a future, and none of them ended in a good way. I would die before I let André take my children from me.Darby and Cameron were back, and they looked like they had a good time. They kept smiling at each other and whispering behind my back like high school sweethearts. I did not even want to know what was going on between them. I was already in a foul mood, and I didn’t want to soil it any further.I retired to the children’s room, where they were with the nanny. They were already asleep, and the nanny was reading a page from a children’s book. “Thank you, Page.” I said it with a tired smile. “Did they eat before they slept?”Page nodded. “Yes. I made sure to feed and bathe them.”“Thank you.” I said again, peering into their cots. My little joy-givers. They looked so small and so beautiful. Don’t worry, my darlings. I won’t let anyone take you away fr

Andre’s POVThe plan was underway, and I was happy. Once Kathy succeeded in getting close enough to Lana and brought me samples of the kids’ blood, fluid, nails, or anything else that belonged to the children, I would carry out the test, and I was sure those children were mine.Let’s see Lana resist me when I am the only key to her seeing her children. I wished I did not have to do this, but she was leaving me no choice. I wanted her, and I must have her. I glanced at Kathy, who lay asleep beside me, and I had to give it to her. She really was something, coming up with this idea and following it through.Although I had to remind myself that she was also doing this for her own selfish interests, not because she actually wanted to help me, As she said, what she wants, she gets, and I did not care what it was she wanted as long as it brought me something that I wanted as well: my family.“Hey,” she said, blinking her eyes open. “You are still awake?”She turned to glance at the time on h

Freda glared at me. But I understood where she was coming from. This company was everything she worked for. It was her life—everything that she owned—and someone threatening to acquire it would definitely make her furious. I understood that. But I did not understand why she was taking the threat seriously. Lana just acquired Lukem, and I doubted she had the money to buy out our company, and even if she did, were we selling? Our company’s stocks were stable in the market, and we were still scaling up.There was nothing to be furious about. Even she should know that Lana was only bluffing. She wouldn't, really. Even with BlackBrick by her side, she did not have the means to do what she said.The thought of black brick brought a sour taste to my mouth. So that was why she refused our proposal, because Cameron had already offered her one. I don’t know if I should take this to be a good thing or a bad thing.After all, this could mean that they were nothing but business partners and I cou

Cameron just got off the phone with the family lawyer, Sally, and documents were already in process. He whistled happily as he went to the kitchen, breezing gracefully through the dining room and looking blindly for the refrigerator. He was blind to happiness, which made me wonder if he should be happier than I am.Some hours later, Sally’s expensive-looking yellow and black Chevrolet Camaro pulled up by their gate; it’s expensive horn reverberating around the compound and sending the twins into a state of frenzy when they realised it was one of their favourite guests at the gate.I looked around me; everything was going so fast. I almost fell back into a state of fear, but Cameron’s eyes seemed to stare at my face at the same moment, as if to say, Don’t even think about it. She came inside, carrying the twins on each arm while their nanny was holding on to her bag. She dropped her bag and stretched her slender arms towards Cameron, both of them embracing for a moment that seemed spe

The nurse Andre had met at the hospital was at least thirty years old, and if she was younger than that, then she did not look her age. She definitely looked thirty, and this made Freda somewhat pleased. It meant that the lady would be open to reason, and this meeting that they had in this very expensive restaurant was not going to take very long. She had done this on purpose—choosing this restaurant for its class and luxury. Usually, she only ate here with men of high esteem. Men whom she was going to do business with or was already doing business with. Their pockets were large, and they never shied away from the things on the menu. That was why this place was the perfect place to meet this nurse.Her name was Kelly—what an odd name for a woman—Kelly Austin, and she was a practicing nurse with a meagre income, which was not enough to sustain herself and her daughter. She was a single mother, and Freda smiled. Why were they making her job easier for her? She always welcomed a challe

Even though she tried her very best not to act or look like it,Kelly knew her defences were going down, and Freda also seemed to know. She had a brief thought about the incident and how time had passed in a flash.“You were saying...” Freda’s malicious voice kicked her back to the moment.“Just like I said, I have nothing I’m selling.” Kelly’s voice was almost shaking. She continued, rather shakily. “If you need any confidential information, you should message the legal document and follow the due procedure.”She dropped the cutlery, wiped her mouth, and made to leave. Freda, looking unperturbed and unshaken by what the small miscreant had said, replied to her in a cool, cunning manner. “Well then, I still wouldn’t mind taking care of your daughter, at least as compensation for inviting my call.”Kelly knew where she was headed, and she was ready to have none of it. She had sworn an oath of secrecy on her birth bed to this woman, and she was not ready to let go of it for financial hel
TOO GOOD TO LEAVE TOO BAD TO STAY Chapter Eighty -Five
Lana had had a very long day and decided that the best cure she could get for her aching body was to close early and go play with her children. Cameron had confessed how staying with them works faster than using painkillers.The expansion director had informed her that they were now ready to acquire new businesses and expand into different domains, recommending that they acquire the Ranhold Company. She had waived him off with a smile but had found herself thinking over the idea again and again as she drove home.Tossing the keys to the valet driver, she found her way into the house, expecting nothing. She wasn’t even sure what she was expecting except the happy faces of her precious diamonds.They rushed out to meet her, almost tipping her off her feet, but she swore it felt like a taste of paradise, if paradise could be served as a two-course meal. They immediately ran back upstairs, leaving their mother surprised. She decided to enter the kitchen and serve herself juice when she wa

The wealthy sure knew how to intimidate, Kelly thought as she saw the Black Brick vehicle park at the back of the hospital. Lana had called her back and agreed to arrange her transport to a planned location. She signed off at the registry and went back, pretending to forget her bag to use the service elevator to the back, where the car was parked and ready to move.The door was open immediately, and the driver saw her come out of the deserted alley of the hospital, instantly zooming off to the other part of the city.The driver drove to a classic restaurant that had appeared in countless movies and was the taste of the town, just a little bit on the outskirts of the city. She was scared that she would be seen, especially by Freda, since she knew this was where the wealthy of the city wined and dined.She was ushered in and was surprised to see it all empty. The tables were covered with linen drapes except for one in the centre, where the table was well arranged. The centre light looke
