"Well, she did deliver," The doctor's face beamed with a smile and everyone was amazed. Jake couldn't help his excitement. "Can I see her now?" Jake said multiple times before the doctor because he was anxious to see her. "Yes, but ensure not to engage her too much because she is very tired," The doctor said facing Jake and he shook his head agreeing to what the doctor had said. "Noted, Doctor, Thanks a lot for everything," Jake said with his arms crossed showing gratitude and everyone followed him to the ward where I was situated. "Come on, everyone, what are you waiting for, let's go and see Veronica," My mom said and everyone present followed. The room was large enough to house everyone at the moment. Jake came close to me and kissed me on my head. He could see how weak I was at the moment because I had just given birth and he knew "Ooh dear, am so glad, it's a baby girl, this is nice," My mom said and hugged me where I was on the bed. Jak
"Jake!" I uttered intuitively and Jake woke up immediately at the sound of my voice. "What's the matter, dear?" He enquired curiously. "Just check the news," I said. "I can't believe this, that Lincoln is being released from prison," I said. "Geez," Jake said as he read the headlines to confirm exactly what I had said. I could see how astonished he was upon receiving the news at the time being. "We need to call Uncle Samson, Uncle Thomas and your Dad because am very sure that they are all watching this," Jake said. "Good morning Mom, and good morning Dad," Daniella said as she stood before them. "Heard some noise, that woke me up, Hope there is no problem?" Daniella enquired curiously. "No dear, it's just news we were discussing, it's nothing serious at all," I lied. I knew how curious Daniella was always, especially now that she had grown to the fifth year of her life. I knew how inquisitive she was, always trying to learn things new and try out thi
After we had all exchanged greetings, we were down to business to discuss what was wrong. Everyone was curious to know exactly what happened, since Samson the Judge had made a huge discovery. "So, I finally got to understand what happened, there was a new Judge that came and sure and suspecting that somehow he is connected to Lincoln," Samson said. "Ooh my goodness, I can't believe this is happening at all," I cried. "It's alright Veronica, it's alright, we are going to get through this, no need to worry," Jake said consoling me as he held me close to his side. "It's not as if, I am just literally afraid of him, I am just afraid of what he might do," I said. "Yes, I understand, I mean now that this new Judge passed a new decree and Lincoln is a free man, who knows what he could be up to, I mean he would come after all of us," Thomas said. "Yes, this is serious, now the news is viral, everyone that knows what Lincoln is capable of has been informed about hi
I and Jake were shocked that she got to know because we thought we could shield it from her. I knew there was no point keeping things further from her and trying to confuse her so I signalled to Jake so that we could just let her know all the truth. Howdy also stood with her, we had to tell both of them the absolute truth. "Alright, it's true, we just heard the news this morning, and I was scared to bother you with the truth that's why I and your Dad had to keep the truth thinking we could protect you from being scared at the time being," I said. "I get it, but I just think you should have told us, I mean I got to hear it from Alvin, instead, it wasn't fair," Daniella said. "I am sorry baby, wouldn't do that anymore," I said and went forward to hug Daniella. "So Howdy, don't be crossed, the news just came right now, that's why we didn't tell immediately, but now we all have to be careful because if Lincoln has truly been released, we all need to be careful, very
"Hey buddy, how are you doing," Lincoln said casually and gave Joseph a handshake. "I thought I have told you to stop calling me buddy, I mean I am. all grown up now," Joseph said jokingly gas to shake hands. Lincoln smiled and laughed. He remembered that they had both been close friends and childhood friends and had attended the same school and university. "Come on, I have told you several times, you would still be my buddy, always my buddy, even though now you are a very big judge," Lincoln said and they laughed furthermore before they finally settled down and Lincoln signalled to Frederick who was about to speak without his permission to caution himself. "It just crossed my mind, so regarding, Michael, he would be released tomorrow," Joseph said when he saw Frederick which helped to boost his memory about Michael that Lincoln had been asking him to help him free from prison. "Yes, I was just about to ask, because you know he is my lawyer and anything could happe
"Hmm, are you sure you want to go against your Dad, is it possible?" Joseph said. "Yes, of course, I mean I need to deal with him, he was among the major factors why they were able to be successful easily against me in the first place," Lincoln said with sheer bitterness. "Hmm, okay so tell me what do you have under your sleeve?" Joseph enquired curiously. "It's very simple, death, as straightforward as it is, he has to die, I mean he has what I desperately need at the moment which is power, and I indeed really need that at the time being to fully gain group now that I am out of jail," Lincoln said. "Ooh my, they are going to kill someone, what have I gotten myself into?" Frederick blurted out. "I just wonder how someone like him deserves to be outside jail, he is only just going to end up spoiling our plans at the end of the day," Joseph said. "If you know what's good for you, just remain silent, till we are done here," Lincoln warned. "Alright boss, since you brough
"Just someone I rescued from the prison, he could end up being useful, even though at this time, he looks useless," Lincoln said. "Yes, Master Lincoln rescued me, so am not useless to him, he likes me," Frederick said and he caught Lincoln's cold stare which made him shut up for a moment. "Well, he better stays out of my way, if he doesn't want any issues with me because now we have to be very much focused on what we are doing if we are to achieve this major goal," Michael said. "Yes, you have no idea, how much I have missed you," Michael said. "The feeling is mutual boss, all those time in the cell, made me realise that all they need is to suffer for all that they had done to us and am glad that we can make that happen," Michael said. "Well, I thought prison life was to make sure that we get sobered up and realise the error of our ways which would make us improve and avoid any conflicts whatsoever," Frederick cut in again which made Michael and Lincoln very mad a
"Hmm, I can see that you are indeed surprised to see me," Lincoln said. "Don't you even think of hurting any of my workers, if you know what's good for you," Thomas warned. "Hmm, my Dad, as usual, always selfless and thinking about others most of the time, and never for once considering himself," Lincoln said. "Of course not, I am not like you that chose to become the opposite, even though I tried my evey best, I knew that at the end of the day, I simply had to just give up on you, because it was obvious that you were way beyond saving," Thomas said. "Hmm, nice speech, but as the saying goes, just the one that I formed, those who choose to be selfless ends up losing themselves," Lincoln said as he used a bottle in his hands and broke it in on Thomas's head rendering him unconscious at the moment. "Ooh, I loved the fact that you didn't kill him, boss, I mean am so glad," Frederick said as he came behind feeling relieved. "Just shut the crap, I would kill him
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
