The murmurings in the court increased. "I know that's not all, so ai am going to call on Veronica Hargreaves, as my last witness to close the case finally," Houghton smiled. "Alright go ahead," Samson said agreeing to what Houghton had said at the time being and ensuring that it happens at the end of the day finally. I walked up to join Jake at the witness box. I knew it was finally time to close the case entirely once and for all. "Now, Veronica, can you tell us everything that happened to start from confirming what Jake had said to finish it," Houghton said facing me. I knew it was time to end everything completely once and for all, so I wasn't going to leave any stone unturned. "Yes, everything that Jake said was true, when I heard that Jake was beaten up by Lincoln's men, I was concerned and when I went to approach him about it, he just gave his stupid smile and laugh and told me that he would threaten Henry that's Jake's father if I didn't do what he wants
"What!" Thomas said startled. I was also stunned when I saw his reaction. I was expecting the fact that he woke to be in dire need of funds, most especially because of what had happened. "What's wrong, it's just from my heart a kind gesture, that I am grateful, for everything you have done for me," I said. "No, no need even though my son, found a way to shut me out from my own home and business, it still didn't stop me from ever making funds myself, besides the company wasn't bankrupt and Samson didn't let his verdict affect the company in any way, so don't return the money," Thomas said. "But, Uncle, you know that currently even go we aren't there yet, we are coming up, and returning this money wouldn't affect us that much just a bit, but still it would acknowledge the fact that we are returning the money that was borrowed after all the only reason why Lincoln offered financial help to us in the first place was so that he could marry me forcefully that was the way, he
I woke up beside Jake's arms, he was staring at me and I felt happy. "Come on! Quit staring at me," I said and threw a pillow at him. "Ooh dear, you are really so beautiful, and am so glad that you are in my world," Jake said smiling and still admiring my beauty. "Well, the feeling is mutual though,I am also glad that we are in each others world, because that's how the case truly really is," I said. "Exactly, that's just the truth," Jake said. "So, about tomorrow's event it's really going to be epic," I said. "Ofcourse, I am marrying, definitely it has to be epic, what else could be more epic and romantic than that," Jake said and kissed my cheeks and I laughed. "Yeah, you are right, it's just that after all of this, I mea it's just been weeks since we had finally gotten rid of Lincoln once and for all, and am really so glad that it was possible that we could do so, you really have no idea," I said. "Yes, same here, we have been enjoying our lives," Jake added
Henry and Howdy were still living at Jake's neighborhood at the moment when they saw Jake and I on the news. "Hey, that's Uncle Jake and his soon to be wedded wife, am so glad that this is finally happening," Howdy said facing Henry. "Right, Grandpa Henry, aren't you excited?" Howdy said shaking Henry who was uncomfortable with it. "Ooh yes, Howdy, I am excited, infact I would be more excited if you stop shaking me at the moment," Henry said. "Yes, Grandpa Henry, that would be better," Howdy said. After some moments that Howdy stoped, he then thought about the fact that they would finally get to be living in my mansion when I and Jake finally gets married. "Grandpa Henry, I am more excited about the fact that we are going to be leaving under the roof of Uncle Jake and Aunt Veronica, am so glad," Heody said getting ready to shake Henry. Henry knew that he has made it as an habit of shaking him very much when he was too excited and he didn't want it to be so
"Wow, take a look at the newest couple in city," My Dad said in a friendly way when we both entered at the time being. "Ooh yeah," I said. "No dear, they aren't couples yet, but soon they would be," My mom said glad that we both came at the moment. "Come on sweetheart, there is no need for the fuss, it's still the same thing afterall, they are good to get married tomorrow, so you can just start to call them couples from now on and avoid anything bad," my Dad said and we all laughed. "Dear, how are you doing preparing for your big day tomorrow?" My mom enquired curiously, with her face beaming of so much smiles. "It's going on well, mom," I said and hugged my mom and Dad. My mom also higged Jake. "Hey, you forgot me, wouldn't you hug me also?" My Dad said jokingly. "No, sir, I wouldn't forget you, at all, not in any way," Jake said band smiled and went to hug My Dad. "So have your seats then Kara and the rest worked would get you something to eat," My Dad sai
"Ooh sorry about that, boss, I didj the know that my talking was a disturbance to you, I guess I am just knowing about that now," Peterson said with guilty feelings, knowing that he hadn't been rebuked in such manner before. "Yes, that's just it, just be quiet and don't speak again, please, that's all I ask of you to do please, don't speak anymore at the time being," Lincoln said. "Yes boss," Peterson said and they both watched the news at the time being to see what was going on currently. The news stated that Jake and I would be getting married and Lincoln was almost not surprised about the news because he had been expecting it at the moment. Lincoln knew about that wedding plans that was definitely going to happen later on which was happening and wasn't that surprised about it because he was expecting it at the time being. "Damn them, they feel that they are finally free from everything after everything that they had done to me, I would definitely show them, t
We all watched as she walked in into the sitting room as if she owned the place. I was the only one meeting her for the first time, so I watched and saw indifference in Jake, Henry and Howdy's face and understood that whoever she was, they had been familiar with her. "Hmm, I guess you are the popular CEO that everyone knows and the one that his getting married to Jake tomorrow, well, that's not my concern, I am here to pick up my nephew," Vanessa said with indifference. "Well, that's impossible, you can't just come here all of a sudden claiming rights to Howdy when you know that you don't deserve such rights, and you know that you didn't treat him well and you mistreated him," Jake said. "Hmm, really, that's what you think, well I have every right, even tho it's a burden carrying him all along," Vanessa said. Jake paused for a while while I held myself together, I knew that I wanted to also contribute my own point of view and opinion about thebiss6, but I thought it to
"Ooh yes, ofcourse, I mean what else where you expecting, didn't you know that you are dealing with me, and when you are dealing with someone like me, you always enjoy good meal at the end of the day," I said smiling at each of them. "Ooh yes we do," Jake said remembering that the days he had spent with me in my mansion, he had enjoyed the meal I prepared. Jake understood that at the end of the day, Henry and Howdy were just being introduced to my food at the time being. "So, am really happy for you both, after everything you both have gone through, you are finally going to get married, Jake, your mother would have been really so proud of you, if she was ever alive," Henry said with a smile on his face. Jake knew that at this moment he and his Dad would definitely have mixed emotions about the situation. "Ooh yes, Das, I bet she would, but am really so glad you are alive to witness such a day," Jake said. "Ooh yes," Henry said. "Uncle Jake and Aunt Veronica
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
