"You started it when you continued in your crime, I mean did you think that at the end of the day, you and Lincoln would win this time around?" Thomas said facing Michael. "Hmm, well, it's obvious, aren't we the one leading now, we have you in our custody so that out there there is no way, you can restrict Lincoln's activities," Michael said. "So, is that all, is that what you think would end all these things or the way, you think everything is going to end, going to go down for you both?" Thomas said. "Well, yes, that's how it's going to go, you just watch and see," Thomas said. "Well, I simply have to tell you, that's not going to be the case at the end of the day, because, even though I am not there to stop you, I bet that Jake and Veronica would," Thomas said. Michael gave light laughter, paused for a while and continued speaking. "Maybe, you haven't been listening to me all this while, so let me make it very clear for you, avoid the latest news that has b
"So how did it go?" Henry enquired curiously when I and Jake gathered around him before the cards because he knew that we had gone to Rosemary's house to check up on her. "Well, so far, she seems safe," I said. "Just that she is still stubborn and keen on wanting to stick to her decision, no matter how we try to cajole her into changing her decision," Jake said. "It's just too bad, because, at the end of the day, one has to hope that she stays safe because that alone can make one very anxious," Henry said. "Exactly, Grandpa," I added. "Alright then, let's play the card game together, there must be only one survivor at the end of the card game that would automatically be declared the winner of the card game at the end of the day... Rosemary decided that she would go out to get some foodstuffs to prepare. As usual, she had to check outside, in case there was a kind of unusual suspicious activity going out and maybe some of Lincoln's men were spying on her looking fo
And Jake was in the office and we were discussing Lincoln's issue. "Come on, Veronica, there is absolutely no need to worry at the moment, I mean we have to intensify our security at the end of the day, so, what's causing any issues of worry?" Jake said. "Ooh, of course, I know about this, I am just worried that at the end of the day, Bernard might not make it, I mean my Dad said he would call Bernard and we haven't heard any positive reply from him, right now based on what my Dad said, Bernard is the only man that can save the situation," I said. "Okay, you can call your Dad to confirm, that can be a better option, don't you think, instead of being curious to know what is going on without no clue," Jake advised. "Yes, maybe that's what I would do," I said and made a call to My Dad. After some minutes of speaking with my Dad on the phone, I already got all the information I needed at the moment and ended the phone connection. "So what did he say?" Jake said c
"I am sorry boss," Frederick said as he exited the scene immediately feeling bad. Lincoln was left with Michael at the moment. "Thanks for informing me about this," Lincoln said. "So, I think you need to be careful about working with him, I mean he can't be trusted," Michael said. "Come on now Michael, you don't have to be like this, because the fact that that happened, doesn't mean we should overweight the situation," Lincoln said. Michael was unhappy about what he was hearing. "This is what I have been trying to say, if you are truly determined to take revenge finally, you have to be very careful and ensure that at the end of the day, you don't underestimate any situation at all," Michael said. "I am not underestimating any situation, just ignore him, he doesn't weigh anything that much, gen though he has a role to play in all my plans, I wouldn't allow it to affect everything if he doesn't play the role," Lincoln said. "Hmm, well I think you have a soft spot f
"I even just called my Dad now, he said that he would inform Bernard about this, and this should make sure that he comes quickly," I said. "Okay then, I think that's fair enough," Jake said trying to calm me down when he saw how I was reacting. "I mean, I really can't believe that this is happening," I said. "Yes, dear, same here, I think we have underestimated Lincoln enough," Jake said. "It's my fault, I didn't try to change her idea enough," I said and started feeling guilty to blame myself for everything that had happened. "No, dear, don't even start about that, don't blame yourself for whatever must have happened, it's not your fault, I promise you," Jake said hugging me as I shed tears. "So, what other actions have you taken so far, apart from the one you did take?" Jake enquired curiously. "Well, I have informed the police to begin the search, I also Informed our men, to begin the search about the situation," I said. "That's good, because, we a
Jake understood that this was one of those moments when Daniella gets too inquisitive about the whereabouts of her Mom and would want to know why he didn't come with her. "Dear, I understand, she went to see Grandpa Damian, regarding speaking with Grand Uncle Bernard regarding his coming, so that he could fix this situation, once and for all," Jake said. Even though Daniella understood what her Dad meant, she gritted her teeth where she stood. "Hmm, that's fair enough," Howdy said as he knew that there wasn't any need to be astonished since that was the normal way I would behave and the normal way I would take my next steps. "Dad," Jake said facing Henry and showing signs that he was greeting. "Hey, son, how was your day, this one that Veronica has decided to go without you, I just hope that she is safe wherever she is," Henry said. "Yes, Dad, she insisted that I come home for Daniella and Howdy while she tries to sort out the situation with Uncle Bernard," Jake
"Yes, that was necessary, that bad to be dealt with," I said and watched the news with our parents in anticipation of Uncle Bernard and Aunt Lily. One thing about our parents was that no matter how the discussion was very interesting, anytime they set their eyes on the news, it was as if they weren't present in the room anymore and they are completely absent from the room. We understood this, so whenever a situation like this occurred, we always knew what to do at the moment... Lincoln was in the apartment where he kept Thomas and Rosemary in the confinement room. "So, Frederick, why haven't you fed them, what are you waiting for?" Lincoln scowled at Frederick who cringed in fear to rush to bring the plates of food for Thomas and Rosemary. "What's the use of feeding us, when you are going to end our lives at the end of the day?" Thomas said scowling at Lincoln. "Hey, don't you give me that look, after all, I can't have you dead until I have taken my full revenge o
"Ooh, of course, don't you trust me, I would do such," Aunt Lily said. "No, Aunt, Lily, it's not that we don't trust you, we just have to inform you the way things are now, especially since Thomas and Rosemary have been kidnapped and we completely have no idea about their whereabouts," Diana said. "Wow, this is indeed serious and it's that monster, Lincoln, and he is so wicked that he wouldn't confirm that everything I said is true," Lily said. "Yes, Aunt, you need to see him, Aunt, he pretends to be innocent and even has the boldness to take over his Dad's company, he completely has no fear whatsoever," I said. "Wow, you guys must have been facing a lot, wait a minute, why isn't Paul with you guys, besides he should be busy trying to completely redeem himself from all his past mistakes, instead of just simply, staying in China," Lily said. "Oh, Aunt, just leave him there, after all, he is simply busy with his work there, I don't want a situation whereby we would ha
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
