CHAPTER 14

“What do you mean there’s nothing you can do?” Catlyn was furious at her husband who was refusing to have Nancy fired. “She slapped your wife. Her son broke Cade’s fucking nose!”

“Woman! I can’t do anything okay? Some real estate billionaire from Coral city just bought all my shares this morning, the offer was too irresistible to decline and it wasn’t just me, he bought all the fucking hotel shares and he immediately kicked us out of corporate. My hands are tied. Just let it go,” Her husband replied, happy to have sold his hotel shares for a huge profit.

“What? Who?” Catlyn sought.

“I don’t know..….I only met with his team but I think they mentioned Banks or something. This calls for celebration honey, just let this woman go, I’ll buy you a new Birkin, how about that?”

Catlyn wasn’t pacified yet but she had no choice but to agree.

    CHAPTER 15Lloyd and Nancy agreed to let the kids stay the week since their school syllabus was very similar and they were in the same grade. Lloyd convinced Nancy to play along with the kids scheme and not to tell them that they knew they switched, so as not to break their little hearts that their brilliant plan barely lasted 48 hours before they were found out.Nancy told Emily and Diana who also played along and Lloyd informed Veronica who was elated to finally meet her other grandson.Lloyd’s father, Lucas, had just returned from his vacation on a cruise ship. He had been in the city for over a week but was spending some time with his mistress before returning to the family house.He knew and loved Lex dearly, so when Lloyd told him about Leo, he was equally excited.Lloyd brought Leo to his study to meet him the evening of the day he returned.“There’s my little champion,” Lucas said as he grabbed Leo and pulled him into a warm hug before kissing his forehead and tickling him.L

    CHAPTER 16Nancy understood very well that Kaleb was still insecure because of Lloyd’s reappearance. He even said it just now himself. Sure, she was slowly starting to develop feelings for him but she didn’t know if she wanted to rush into a thing like marriage just yet.Honestly, the thought of committing herself wholly to a man like she did before with Lloyd still scared her. What if Kaleb changed after marriage? But she didn’t want to tell him outright.“Really? Proposing to me without a ring? I thought you were a romantic,” She said coyly, giving him a flirtatious smile.Kaleb's eyes snapped to her in pleasant surprise, he couldn’t believe she was already asking for a ring. He expected her to at least put up some resistance. Oh! He was greatly overjoyed.“Oh babe,” He took one of his hands off the steering wheel and placed it on Nancy’s thigh, caressing her inner thigh as he continued. “You know I’ll get you the biggest diamond ring in the world…..I just wanted to talk to you abou

    CHAPTER 17Lloyd had been in the building since morning. It was the Friday he was supposed to bring Leo back to Brandon after school but he needed to come earlier to finish signing some paperwork for the hotel he just bought. His mother had insisted that she wanted to meet Nancy so after dropping him at the airport, he sent his private jet back to pick her and Leo after school that day.He had witnessed the whole drama between Nancy and Catlyn and he was greatly impressed by how she handled the situation. She had really changed. She really wasn’t the timid girl she used to be. His desire only grew more for the new strong and confident tigress she had become.“Lloyd?” Nancy queried when she saw him standing at the door.Mr. Patel was stunned. Who exactly was Nancy? First she knew the former owner's wife by first name and now she knew the new Boss too? He wondered if she was disguising her true identity.“Have a seat Miss Drew,” Lloyd said in his business tone, flashing Nancy a small smi

    CHAPTER 18“It’s not that easy Lloyd. You broke me,” Nancy said as she tried to stifle her sobs. It was hard for her. Remembering everything that happened, leading to her escape just brought back too much pain. Pain that she had locked up deep inside her and forgotten and here the very cause of the pain was, urging her to dig it back up.“I know,” Lloyd gulped. “I know how much pain I must have put you through. I just want to make things right.”He knew? What exactly did he know? Did he know how many nights she cried? Did he know her own father disowned her because of him? Did he know the many sacrifices she made for him only for him to treat her like he did? No! He didn’t know anything.Nancy wiped her tears. “But that’s the thing Lloyd, you don’t know and things aren’t wrong for you to make them right. At least not for me.”“Nancy….” “No Lloyd, what you did,” She paused, trying to calm the raging inferno that was slowly burning inside her as she remembered his actions years ago.“Wh

    CHAPTER 19While Nancy and Lloyd were having their moment, handling their issues, Kaleb had heard about the new ownership. He didn’t know who it was yet but he was on his way to his friend, Patel’s office to find out. It was his influence with Patel that helped Nancy secure her job in the hotel. He also brought a bouquet of lilies to apologize to Nancy for the other day.He called Patel on the phone when he got to the hotel and the man asked him to meet him at the bar. It was there that Patel told him everything that happened that morning and especially how surprised he was that the new boss and Nancy seemed to know each other. When Kaleb heard about the transfer, his fears only intensified. He was sweating and easily became restless. If Nancy agreed, that would be bad for him. Infact, it would be his end.The thought of Nancy and Lloyd being together in Patel’s office filled him with so much rage and jealousy. He found it so hard to control himself that he told Patel he wanted to us

    CHAPTER 20***FLASHBACK***FOUR HOURS EARLIER“Our flight is being delayed due to bad weather conditions. Seems like we’ll be flying in later than expected,” Veronica said over the phone to Lloyd as he stepped out of the meeting with the management staff.There was a lot he didn’t know about the hospitality business but he understood finance and numbers and from the books of the hotel in the past years, they have been consistently turning in good profit margins so he was counting on duplicating their efforts here over at Coral city. It would seem that Nancy wasn’t the only staff that he would need to have transferred if the other franchise was to be successful.“Alright mom, just let me know when you’re finally able to fly,” Lloyd replied.He wanted to still talk to Nancy but he didn’t want to disturb her work. The restaurant had a lot of guests at the moment. When she told him they could be friends, his joy knew no bounds. He wound up hugging her so tight and the urge to kiss her wa

    CHAPTER 21“Kaleb Trevor, where can I find him? I got a call from your hospital some minutes ago that he was brought here,” Nancy said to the nurse at the hotel reception.The whole drive to the hospital, she was in a panic. The last time she felt such fear and panic was when she was being chased by Lloyd after she went to give him Lex.“Kaleb Trevor…..” the nurse trailed, looking at her laptop for a while. “He’s been moved from the emergency ward. Take the elevator on your left to the third floor, room 12B.” “Thank you,” Nancy replied as she ran off.When Nancy saw the state Kaleb was in, her heart ran straight into the pit of her stomach. Her purse unconsciously slipped out of her hand as she clutched her chest and ran to his side with tears instantly running down her cheeks. Who could have done such a horrible thing to her beautiful Kaleb?He had a cast around his neck and his right eye was swollen shut. He had a huge cast on one of his hands. His fair face has turned red in so ma

    CHAPTER 22Lloyd was quick to reach her before she could reach for the vase. He held her arms and her skin crawled at his touch. She shoved him back and attempted to follow it up with a slap but Lloyd caught her hand in the air.“Whoa! Relax,” He said teasingly but his expression quickly turned serious when he saw the venom in her eyes.With her free hand, Nancy grabbed the vase but before she could strike, Lloyd caught it again, wrestling it off her and as it shattered upon impact with the floor, He tackled her to the bed.“What’s wrong with you? Calm down,” he said. His tone laced with surprise and confusion.His body pressed against her and he had her legs trapped between his, while his hands held hers in place. Their eyes met. Nancy glared at him, her eyes full of disdain for the man above her. Lloyd only admired her feistiness. His eyes dipped to her breast cleavage sprawling out of her V neck gown briefly and he gulped before looking away.“Get the fuck off me Lloyd, you monster

Harmony giggled as she ran circles around their playroom and Kayden chased after her giggling as well.“Catch me if you can, catch me if you can,” Her little shrill voice filled the air.“Got you,” Richard grabbed her and Kayden pulled the lego out her hands, baring his tongue at her.“Not fair,” She folded her arms and frowned at him. “Richard helped you.”“Who wants hot chocolate?” Leo stepped into the room with four mugs of hot chocolate on a tray.The triplets chorused. “Me, me,me.”He handed them one each and took one for himself, before he sat in front of his gaming console and someone who looked exactly like him appeared on the other side of the screen.“Ready to get your ass kicked bro?” Lex asked. He was spending the weekend with his favorite uncle Kyle and his favorite aunt Emily. Actually, if you ask him, he would say he’s babysitting their th

    CHAPTER 105It was 3am when Lloyd woke up a few weeks to Nancy’s due date. He heard her crying and he thought something was wrong.“Hey…...what’s the matter,” He asked softly, cupping her face. “I’m hungry,” Nancy replied, still crying.Ever since she entered her third trimester, her hormones have been acting up and had her all over the place. She cried over every little irritation but Lloyd understood perfectly. The books he read actually did a good job of preparing him for the journey. He found it amusing how almost everything he read about pregnant women seemed to be evident in his wife.“What do you want to eat, anything, I’ll have the chef make it for you,” He said, wiping her face and pecking her cheeks.Nancy pouted but she kept silent. Her cravings these days have become weird and absurd and this was one of those moments.“What is it? Tell me, what do my babies want?” Lloyd asked again, rubbing her stomach and peppering it with kisses.“Ice cream,” Nancy replied. Lloyd glanc

Her bump was really big because of the three she had in her.“I’m going to work you so hard later tonight for working me so hard like this,” Kyle replied, taking the ladder and pinning the ribbons up.The thing about Emily was that even if she hired an event planner to organize events, the creative ideas were exclusively hers and if she didn’t like something, she would change it.“I look forward to it,” She replied, pecking Kyle’s cheek and blushing.They were having the party at the backyard of their mansion. Everything was almost ready and a few guests were already arriving.“I’m telling you, he is not just president in name but in other departments, if you know what I mean,” Veronica said, winking at Nancy and Diana.Both ladies laughed at her

He was moving them to a bigger house, a mansion he had been building since he reunited with Nancy.It was meant to be completed before their wedding but a few delays along the way happened so he had to wait a bit. It was the morning of the day he wanted to take them to the house and the family was having breakfast together. It was just Lloyd, Nancy and the twins.Thelma and Theo had returned back to Emerald Bay, Diana was at home but in her room, Emily was on an engagement honeymoon with Kyle In Dubai, according to her.“We’re moving to a new house soon,” Lloyd announced out of nowhere. He had not discussed it with Nancy before so she was shocked, the spoon of eggs she held to her mouth couldn’t go further than her lips.She dropped it back on her plate. “A new house?” She asked Lloyd, giving him a light scowl.“I like this house,” Leo said.“Is it a big house like our old man

    CHAPTER 102“Here goes nothing,” Lloyd whispered, taking off her blindfold.It took some seconds for Nancy’s eyes to adjust but when they finally did, “Wow,” was the only word that escaped her mouth as she took in the breathtaking view of the city of Paris at night.It was the most beautiful thing she had ever seen, the lights and ambience were out of this world. She could see the famous Eiffel Tower in the distance, standing in all its glory and its marvelous light, and the atmosphere smelled of such delicious food that her stomach growled.Lloyd had brought her to the rooftop terrace of the hotel that had a 360 degree view of the city. It was called the Eiffel penthouse. They were both casually dressed but they still looked as sweet as ever. Lloyd wore loose white pants with a black shirt, he left the top three buttons open and his sleeve was rolled to his elbow. He wore black suede loafers on his feet. Nancy on the other hand wore a long white evening gown that could easily pass fo

I’m going to miss you,” Lex added, joining his brother in the hug.“We’re only going to be gone for three days, I’ll be back before you even know it,” Nancy replied as she hugged her boys back.It was the following day after the wedding, they were flying to Paris for their honeymoon. It was supposed to be a two week vacation but because of Nancy’s condition and not wanting to be away from her kids for too long, she had Lloyd cut it short.Their entire family had come to see them off at the presidential Villa. Kennedy had given them the presidential jet as private transport to Paris.“Don’t I get a I will miss you hug too?” Lloyd enquired, smiling at the boys.“We will miss you too daddy,” The boys ran and hugged him too.“Can’t we come with you?” Lex pouted and Nancy gave Lloyd an inquiring look but he shook his head. These three days were going to be for them and them alone.“This trip is for

    CHAPTER 100“The first time we met wasn’t the first time I saw you. It was three months before then.” Lloyd was surprised and his jaws literally touched his feet. Nancy chuckled amidst her sobbing, seeing how shocked he looked.“As a young hustling girl who was just through with high school, with dreams to become a world class chef, I was baking and selling treats at a construction site not very far from our home to the local laborers when one day, Lloyd came to visit the site. He was the most handsome man I had ever seen and I immediately fell in love with him. I made sure to stick around till he left and then I got his card from one of the engineers.”“Here’s something I've never told anyone before,” Nancy chuckled slightly, remembering the lengths she went to, to secure Lloyd’s attention the first time.“I lied, gathered what savings I had then, left home and tracked him down to coral city. I spent over a month stalking this man, learning everything about him, knowing everything a

    CHAPTER 99The venue for the wedding was a private garden within the high brow areas of the city. The garden was big enough to serve as the wedding venue and the reception area. Both settings were already beautifully arranged.Lloyd stood on the podium, under an arch that had pictures of his and Nancy’s favorite memories printed on it. They had a total of forty to fifty invited guests. The seating arrangement was set with about 20 seats on each side, leaving the aisle open with Lily petals all over it. The number of security personnel at the venue was almost twice as many as their guests. With the president openly attending the event, no chances were taken. There was no press present and the media crew hired to cover the wedding were the only people that weren’t friends or family aside from the security.The venue of the wedding had a pale pink and white decoration and almost everyone was seated and Lloyd was waiting for Nancy’s arrival. He was very nervous. His palms were sweaty, h

    CHAPTER 98ONE MONTH LATER“I’m nervous, mom,” Lloyd said to Veronica as he adjusted his bow tie in front of the mirror. It was their big day. The day he would finally say I do and be married to the most beautiful, most amazing, sweetest, most wonderful woman in the world. The love of his life, the woman of his dreams, his heartthrob, his sweetheart, his amor.The events of the past month were still fresh in his mind. Nothing would ever take away the dread that he felt at almost losing his child, but he was grateful. Grateful that it was all behind them. They could finally look forward to the future and hopefully never have to keep looking over their shoulders for where the next trouble may come from.Kennedy, using his powers as president, convinced Lloyd not to try and press any charges. He had a much better way to make Allison and Marla pay. Their arrest was never documented. It never went into the books. In fact, in the eyes of the nation, they were still wanted for kidnapping the
