CHAPTER 80A few days had passed, Lucas was yet to sign the divorce papers, still trying to find ways to cajole Veronica into staying with him. Veronica had moved out of the mansion, into an apartment she owned in Nancy’s estate, so she could be closer to the family.Lloyd wanted her to move into one of the spare bedrooms but they were just too small to accommodate her and her things.Lloyd had traveled overseas, all in a bid to salvage the situation with some of their foreign investors who had found out about the huge debt their company was in. Government officials were also breathing down their neck and everything just seemed like a royal mess but Lloyd was handling it all well, with Nancy by his side, giving him the necessary support he needed.Nancy awoke to the sound of her phone ringing. It had been ringing for a while and she had been too sleepy to pick it but the caller was relentless. Eventually she gave in and when she saw it was Lloyd, she had a little bit of motivation to
CHAPTER 81After Nancy ended the call, Lloyd called twice and she didn’t pick. He felt that she was probably too nervous to discuss it with him now, so he let her be. Instead, he texted his trusted sidekick in all things Nancy, Emily. Once Emily saw his text, she instantly knew what he was planning to do.Lloyd asked her to add a few more people to the guest list of the party, including her influencer friends because he had something big planned to celebrate her birthday and their pregnancy.While Emily got to work, Lloyd canceled all his meetings and hopped on his jet, making his way back to Coral city immediately.He was so excited about the pregnancy. He was going to be around for this one, unlike the twins, when his actions forced Nancy away. The prospect of a pregnant Nancy gave him so much joy and he kept imagining her with a baby bump all along the journey. Him playing with it, talking to the baby in her womb and all the other things that he saw men do with their pregnant wiv
CHAPTER 82***FLASHBACK***Lloyd was well aware of what transpired between Nancy and her parents, especially her father. He practically disowned her because of Lloyd and the next thing on his redemption list was to restore thier broken relationship.A few weeks ago, he and Veronica made the journey to Emerald bay to find Theo and Thelma, Nancy’s parents.Thelma immediately recognized him and fearing her husband’s temper, she persuaded him to leave.“You can’t be here. You can’t be here, you must go now,” She said, blocking his path from entering the house.Lloyd gave her his signature smile. “I have no intention of leaving ma’am. Not until I talk to you and your husband. This is about Nancy, it is important.”“We promise we mean no harm, we just want to set things straight, do it the right way,” Veronica added.Their main target was Theophilus and there was no way in hell they were going to leave, until they got a chance to talk to that man.Thelma wanted to panic when he mention he wa
CHAPTER 83Lloyd initially wanted to plan a big jaw dropping proposal. He had been itching for months to ask Nancy to marry him but after finding out that she was pregnant, he couldn’t wait any longer and so he had Emily invite all her influencer friends with the biggest reach so the proposal could go viral at least, since he couldn’t wait for the football finals where he planned to propose to her in front of 120,000 people.“Will you make my life complete and be mine forever?” Lloyd asked.Nancy just stood there with her mouth agape. She couldn’t move, her heart was pounding so hard in her chest, that admist the screams and cheers and choruses of the people urging her to say yes, her heartbeat was the only thing she could hear.She looked at the man kneeling down in front of her. The look on his face showed her how anxious he was to hear her answer. She took some seconds to admire how handsome and sexy he looked. Those brown eyes, his plump pink lips. His well faded buzz cut and the k
CHAPTER 84It was the following day after Nancy and Lloyd’s engagement. Theo and Thelma were staying in an hotel that wasn’t too far from the estate. It was one of the two five star hotels in the city, where only the elite of the elite could afford to stay. Neither of them had been told yet of Nancy’s pregnancy. Lloyd wanted Nancy got be the one to inform them about it.He had made his intentions known to them and to the world. Nancy was the woman he wanted to spend the rest of his life with. Getting their approval and blessing was his aim and he already had that.He knew Nancy wasn’t a deeply bitter and resentful person. If she could forgive him once he showed her his intentions were genuine, surely she could find somewhere in her heart to forgive her father.Lloyd rented the penthouse of the hotel for his future in-laws. The penthouse had its own outdoor, rooftop bbq area and infinity edge pool.It was at the pool that Nancy and her father finally had the chance to talk. Nancy had ju
CHAPTER 85“This is all your fault Nancy,” Allison muttered to herself as she stared at her father where he sat on the couch in their living room.He was lucky not to have lost one of his eyes, where a shard of bottle had pierced him slightly. The doctors said it would take a while for him to heal completely and except he uses cosmetic surgery, he would be scarred for life.“Ally,” Ethan called. His entire face was wrapped with gauze and bandages but he could see with one of his eyes. Apart from the occasional pain he felt from his wounded eye, he felt perfectly okay.“Give it up. This obsession with Lloyd has gone too far. I will no longer be a party to this madness,” Ethan’s voice was curt and calm.“No Father, you can’t say that. I want Lloyd. Lloyd is mine,” Allison protested immediately. She couldn’t believe her ears. She had given up too much to lose. She killed Chloe to cover her tracks. She was desperate at this point. Lloyd was going to be hers or no one else’s.“I know but Ll
CHAPTER 86It was two days to the final hearing on the case of Nancy’s attempted murder by Melanie Granger. The last two hearings have shown with concrete evidence that Nancy was in fact not at the scene of Chloe’s murder that night and without doubt, Melanie Granger and the assassin were going to be spending a long time in Jail.Lloyd had just returned home from work that day. Each day was as ethic as the last but he was grateful for his stress reliever that he had at home. “Wifey…..” Lloyd hugged Nancy tightly and buried his face in her neck, inhaling her smell deeply. The scent of her body gave him so much peace and reprieve. He held on tightly to her for about a minute, not wanting to let her go.“Good evening sir,” Marla’s voice came out of nowhere.Lloyd groaned. He really didn’t want to let go of his wife right now. Not raising his head, he waved Marla away but Marla didn’t leave.“Sir, I’m going to the trade fair tomorrow. I was hoping to get your permission to take the day of
CHAPTER 87The next morning, Nancy and Lloyd woke up to an unexpected visitor in their home. Nancy was still fast asleep but Lloyd was awake, holding a meeting online with some of their foreign investors.That’s when he heard the intercom ring. Luckily he was just wrapping up the meeting. “What is it?” He grumbled as he picked it up.“I’m sorry to disturb you sir but there is one Harry Granger here to see you and the misses,” The security guard spoke from the gate.‘Harry? What the hell does he want?’ Lloyd pondered.“Get rid of him,” Lloyd replied coldly to the security guard and ended the call.“What is it?” Nancy asked in a sleepy voice, yawning and stretching. She had woken up just when Lloyd was instructing the security guard to get rid of Harry.“Nothing to worry about,” Lloyd said dismissively, admiring the beautiful woman that laid in the bed. He still couldn’t believe that in a few weeks, they would say their vows and be together forever.“What?” Nancy asked, noticing the way
