"Ooh my goodness, this is serious," Diana said. "Well, don't worry about it, like I said I dealt with some of his men and I know that would land them in the hospital," my mom said. "Mom, honestly, you need to be careful, you can't possibly be involved in a physical fight, I don't know what I would do if anything were to happen to you," Diana said. "Well, nothing is going to happen to me, because I didn't allow your father to keep me trapped, your father thinks am like your sister and that he can control around," y mom said. "I mean, who does he think he is, okay maybe he is saying because he owned the company that brought us billions of dollars and made us rich, but remember, I was by his side, we both did it, I also have a hand in his success, so as if today, I am done playing by his rules and becoming his puppet," my mom said. "Alright, mom, let's just go inside, and get ready for the court case to begin," Diana said and they all entered the court case with th
My Dad had just arrived at the court with his men and he was glad that he finally met Thomas at the entrance discussing with his lawyer Houghton. He quickly walked up to where they stood knowing that he would be able to have his chance to try to convince Thomas about canceling out on the case. "Hello Thomas, it's been a long time now and I know you have been avoiding my calls, since our last argument," My Dad said facing Thomas who looked uninterested in having a conversation with him. "Well, as you can see I am about to prepare for a serious case, so if you would please don't have this conversation with me at all," Thomas said with a serious expression on his face. "Wow? So this is you, well, I wouldn't take much of your time, if you could please let your lawyer excuse us for some minutes about why we have this little discussion," My Dad said taking a look at Houghton, who seemed to act as a guard to Thomas. He knew that Thomas was busy getting ready and prep
"Dad, not again, I don't have time for this," I said. "Who told you that, you must have enough time for it," my Dad said. I knew now that the only stumbling block I had now was my Dad, I could see Lincoln's men wavering around the place, and I knew that they hadn't seen me. I also knew that I was trying to avoid them from seeing me before I finally entered the court which seemed to be the car anytime soon. "Dad, please I need to enter now," I said. I knew how stubborn my Dad could be. I also knew that he had the power at the moment not to allow me to attend the court case. "Dad, listen to me, Need to go, Thomas is like a father to me, and there is no way that I would let Lincoln win a case over him, knowing that I could have been of help one way or the other," I said. "So what about me, you have me, and I am enough fatherly figure for you and if you even want to take him as a father, must it now be over your husband, the person you just got married to, not long
I took a look at my Dad and saw that he meant every word and that he was going to stop me from entering. I knew that I was keen on my decision and that there was no way I was going.to change my mind about my plans... Jake finally sat in the court and saw everyone getting ready for the case. His eyes finally went to my mom and Diana. He was glad that he met them and knew that he would be glad to sit next to them through our Court case. "Hello ma, and Diana," Jake said Showing respect and he greeted both of them. "Ooh Jake, so good to see you, mom, aren't you excited," Diana said upon seeing Jake and answering his greetings. She knew that her mom would be happy to see Jake and was glad about that. "Wow, that's true, Jake, how are you doing?" My mom said happily that she finally saw Jake. "Am fine ma, how is your health ma, I hope you are taking care of yourself," Jake said with concern. "Ooh, thanks am really fine, if not for the situation that has be
"Of course not, I wouldn't let them hurt you, but to restrict you from entering the court case, oh yes," My Dad said signaling to his men who came closer to drag me out. Some policemen who were around were attracted to thence and came to settle the issue but my Dad shove them off. "Never mind, just go on about your duties, it's a family issue, and it would be solved soon, don't you worry," My dad said assuring them not to bother to do whatever they were planning on doing. My Dad knew what part of their jobs was to maintain peace and security both within the court and outside the court area, so definitely anything that would tend to affect the peace would be attended to. The policemen agree and went on to continue with whatever they were doing. "If you dare lay a single hand on me," I threatened when I saw the men were closing in on me. They were five in number and had me surrounded. "What the hell is the meaning of this, How could you do this to your dau
One of the men held his injured hand. He knew that I had a sharp teeth and was really badly injured. I was already let go and was on the run to enter the court by force. "If only the people that were inside could hear what was happening outside and come to my aid, if only Jake could come to my aid," I muttered to myself. All of a sudden, another of my Dad's men grabbed me so tight now and I was very angry. "I thought I told you not to allow her get in, " Mt Dad said very fruit now that I had almost gotteb into the court if not for the fact that one of the men grabbed me. "Am sorry, boss," the man said facing my Dad, because he knew how furious he was with the way and manner he had showed it and wasn't pleased about the issue. "No don't just be sorry, act on it, If you think that I am going to let what happened to my wife repeat the same about my oej daughter, then you must be joking, so just forget about it," my Dad blurted out and the other men who were at the
I knew that my dad hated being dared, but he just kept look at my mom and me I knew that he has lost for the moment and would definitely let us go. "What's wrong, aren't they not coming in ti get her," My mom said still Darin the men. She saw that they were scared of her and were even happy that my mom didn't give an order for them to grab me forceful from my Dad who was just mute remembering what had happened earlier when they had tried to do the same with my Mom. "Mom, it's okay, let's just go inside," I said holding my mom and leading hee inside the court. My mom led me to where she sat and I was glad dto see both Diana and Jake and hugged them. I could see Lincoln's blood shorted eyes looking at us has I hugged Jake. I knew that he wasn't happy about it but I ignored cherishing the moment I was having with Jake presently. "Dear, sister, I can see that you are here, how are you doing?" I enquired curiously after hugging Diana who was also happy to see
"Boss, are you still with me on this?" Michael said noticing that Lincoln's mind was fixed at me since his gaze was still at us. "Ooh yes,I don't know how she escaped from the room I had her locked in, but since she has escaped, I need to worry much more about ensuring that she doing participate at all," Lincoln said. Lincoln knew that he would definitely be in trouble if he doesn't do anything about the issue once and for all. "So, how do you want to do that?" Michael enquired curiously, because he knew that he had to prevent anything that was going to affect the case. "Yes, just watch me," Lincoln said smiling and asked one of his men for a note and pen. He jotted down some details on the paper and handed it to one of his men. "Give this to my wife and that her lover playboy sitting together," Lincoln said and his men bowdd to show respect, took the letter towards where Jake and me sat down together and gave the letter to me. I and Jake were started a
Lincoln had gotten back to the mansion and he was very furious. Joseph had also gotten back and he was surprised and wondered why they both showed long faces and he wished to know what was wrong. "What's the matter," Michael said. "My Dad confirmed it and when I got there I met her herself, I would have ended my Dad's life and at the end of the day, she was there to protect him, now I have to annihilate them all if I want to get the company back," King said. "That is very serious indeed," Michael said. "So all the time you both went outside in search of answers proved to be abortive," Michael said. "Yes, mine was similar, I went back to my family to tell my wife Grace that we shoot elope together so that we could leave the city together and she refused," Joseph said shedding tears. "Hey aren't you a man, why would you be shedding tears," Lincoln said and Joseph scowled at him afterwards. "I guess it's because you don't have a family and that's why you have no id
Linda had successfully managed to enter through the door at the mole and went behind him to stop him from shooting at her. "Finally, the stranger who claims herself to be my sister," Lincoln said. "No, you are wrong, you know I never wanted to ever come back to claim what was rightfully mine, most especially because of the past, but at the end of the day, when I got to discovered how such a dicj you have become, I had to think twice about it," Linda said. "That's what you see me as, as the Dick, who was running things when you weren't taking any responsibility at all, I was, and then you are calling name a dick, how dare you?" Lincoln said. "Well, you have to surrender now, and make no mistake, if you don't do such, you wouldn't like what would happen to you," Linda threatened pointing the gun at him. Lincoln refused. "So are you going to shoot me or what? If you are going to shoot me now, why not go ahead," Lincoln threatened. Linda knew that she couldn't at
"Well, there is no need to worry about that, when I take it, in just a well we are going to hear the results of the pregnancy test soon," I said. "Alright dear, I am so excited, am sure this time it's going to be a boy," Jake said. "Yes, of course," I said laughing and we both laughed in unison. After I had taken my pregnancy test and was awaiting the results, I knew that I and Jake had to go to the office that day for work. While we were at the office, we were busy discussing with Viola about when we went physically to meet Linda and what the experience was. "Linda is here and she would be entering your office shortly," one of my men said and opened the door for her. When she came in, Viola was super excited. "Welcome ma, nice to meet you," she said with so much euphoria. "And you must be Viola, I have Heard about you, nice meeting you," Linda said as she shook hands with Viola. "Same here, Mrs Linda, I am so thrilled to see you," Viola SA before sh
"I can bet that we would get to get along with each other, we need to be strong and united and remove the mess that Lincoln has made of this company," Linda said. "Yes, of course," I agreed. "So, very soon, I would work on mine, and inform you when am done so that we can begin with the collaboration," Linda said. "Wow, of course," I said. "Alright, nice meeting you and striking a deal with you," she said as we all rose in each other and she shook our hands. When we were walking back and driving back to our company, I couldn't help but talk about Linda. "Wow, I love her charisma, her pretty looks," I said. "Yes, indeed, she is truly the firstborn of Thomas, it's great to know that Thomas has a daughter that can bring a good name to him, instead of Lincoln that spoilt it," Jake said. "Yes, exactly," I agreed and we got to our company. ... Linda was done with work. She knew she had started on her design and soon she woos be showing it to Jake and me at the end
"Who's, this is indeed epic, am glad that such has to be the case. I bet when Lincoln hears this, he is giving to be mad," My Dad said facing Thomas. "Who cares? When he comes back, the only thing that's going to be awaiting him, is simply the fact that he is going to pay for all his crimes and going to be arrested, so he better puts that in mind, before he does anything he wishes to do," Thomas said. "Ooh yes, that's true, I mean he needs to pay for all the crimes he has done once and for all," My Dad said... Linda had gotten to the company. Her driver was waiting for her with Thomas. Thomas had already told everyone about her coming and even the media was recording outside before she entered "Dear, it's time," Peter said with a smile and Simon was so excited that he held his mom's hands in euphoria. "Yes, of course, I am so excited, I think you should escort me inside," Linda said excitedly. "Of course, I would love to, I mean we would love to, we both are
"Yes, of course, I am preparing a plan whereby we would have to return to New York City and enact our revenge in a way that they wouldn't expect at all," Lincoln said facing. "Of course boss, I trust you to handle everything once and for all," Michael said with absolute euphoria. "Yes, so what about Joseph, isn't he up," Lincoln enquired curiously expecting Btgaf Joseph should have been up and handling things once and for all. "Ooh, yes boss, he is currently asleep, he hasn't woken up," Michael announced. "Ooh, no problem then, but one thing for sure is that I would come up with something very soon, so you would need to watch out," Lincoln said. "Ooh, sure boss, I trust you, but boss, there is something you need to know, which is the fact that whatever you must come up with, it has to be a new tactic, because at the end of the day, they would change in their tactics and what they plan on doing, one must come up with new tactics," Michael said. "Ooh, sure, don't y
"Well, there is no problem about that, I guess I would have to think about it, and I think that's fair enough," Linda said. "Yes, thanks my daughter, am so glad, I would appreciate it if you do, even my closest friends I didn't tell about you, that's how sober I was to be sorry for what I did in the past, but now I would be so excited to introduce you to them as my lost daughter and the firstborn," Thomas said. "It's alright, Dad, I would think about it," Linda said. Thomas was feeling so emotional the way, Linda was calling him, dad and he knew that if he had behaved well in the past, all this wouldn't have happened at the end of the day. "Thanks," That was all he could say and when he was about to leave, Peter came to the door. "Dear, welcome, back," Linda said as she pecked him. "Hey, Father-in-law, am so glad," Peter said as he bowed to show respect. Peter has always shown respect to Thomas because of the man he was present and not because of who he was in th
"Hey Linda," Thomas said with a smile on his lips. "Dad, I thought the deal was that you would never come back anymore and you would just leave me be," Linda said. "Dear, am very sorry, I know that you are very crossed with me, simply because of my past lifestyle and because you have promised not to hear me out or see me again, but please just hear me out," Thomas said. "Alright come in, my husband, Peter, isn't around yet, but he would be back from work, so am just alone with Simon my son," Linda said. "Okay, thanks for hearing me out," Thomas said and was let into the apartment at the moment. Thomas couldn't help but take a long at his grandson now. Everything was clear, Lincoln wasn't the firstborn, Linda was but his wife loved her so much that she couldn't bear that Linda should be brought up under Thomas's past drunken lifestyle and took her away. Even when he had changed, sometimes he tries to beg for her forgiveness, but even though she tries to forgive hi
"I am so glad you made the right decisions," I said feeling emotional and Hugging them all. I knew I was going to miss them all. "Yes, we had to, I mean, we could learn from Rosnwmays mistake, she left a kind of safety steps so that we wouldn't make the same mistake she did when she died, "Hannah said. "Yes, that's true," Jake said. "So, It's finally time," Sarah said knowing that the same way that they had come to the city is the same day and time and moment that they would be returning to Paris. Everyone present came to hug them, including, Uncle, Bernard, Aunt Lily and Samson and his family members. When they were done with the exchange of pleasantries, they all resolved to finally return to Paris even though it was hard to forget because of the people they were missing. "Now it's time for us to focus on dealing with Lincoln once and for all," I said facing Jake. "Yes, Veronica, let's end this once and for all since we started this journey together," Jake
