Where I stood, I see the expression of surprise change to that of indifference on my Dad's face. "That's a big lie," My Dad said. I wondered what magical concoction Lincoln gave to my Dad and why he was behaving in such a way. "What! Really?" My mom blurted out in surprise. "Dear, If this is who Lincoln is, a dangerous person, sorry but I cannot let my daughter get married to such a person," My mom said with defiance. I could see how she wanted to protect me and didn't want anything bad to happen to me. "Honey, are you o believe our daughter and the lie she is telling now," My Dad managed to say. I was stunned at his reply and wondered why he would think that I was lying. "I mean after everything that had happened, don't you think that she is trying to lie to innocent Lincoln to try and prove to us that he is not the man for her which isn't true," My Dad said. "Oh my gosh," I muttered. I was already about to lose it. I knew that this was the work
I kept wondering about their reaction when I called Lincoln's name. "Am sorry madam, but....." The police officer stammered. "But what!" Diana blurted out angrily. Diana was already agitated at their behaviour. I knew that they felt that Lincoln couldn't be accused and that was why they had ch a reaction to me. "Am sorry but we need evidence before we can proceed with such accusations," one of the police officer salary. "Oh really? Well, the evidence is the bruised body of my lover, he sent men to hurt him and that's enough evidence," I blurted out. I was already understanding everything that was happening. Whoever Lincoln was, he had convinced the world that he was a good man whereas he wasn't. "I can't believe this," I blurted out. "Criminals, that's all you guys are," My sister should at the. My sister was worse than me when she was annoyed. Her case was different to the extent that people think that she is crazy when she is displaying her ange
"You won't even believe what happened, I actually wanted to press charges and the police were claiming that my accusations were false and it was simply because an accusation from someone jealous of Lincoln's achievements and wants to bring down his name," I said as I sat next to him at the space on the bed. Lincoln held my hands tight in his. "This is, we need to be careful," He said. "I know there," I said. "As if that wasn't enough, I went to his office and he claimed that we didn't have enough evidence to be able to identify that it's the same man who marks for him that attacked you," I said. I knew this was the case and that Jake knew this too. "But Veronica it was dangerous going alone," Jake said. "Yes, I know, I had to beat up one of his men who tried to block me by kicking his balls," I said. Jake laughed and I laughed too. "It's funny right?" I said. "Ooh yes," Jake said. "The fool had no other choice but to allow his men to allow me to enter
"I think I need to see him right away," I said facing Viola. "Alright boss, I will just go on with my duties," Viola said as she exited the floor. I boarded the elevator and headed towards his office and this time I was trying to control my anger. "Am glad that you are here, we have successfully, gotten the materials, so we can begin work on them so that we can sell them off for profit," Paul said. "How could you," I said. I knew that I couldn't control it anymore and I will have to shout at him uncontrollably. "What did I do this time?" He inquired. He had already sent that I was flaring up and was surprised because he wanted to know what he did. "I heard that you kept one billion dollars for yourself," I said. "Of course, I am the Ceo, besides it's a backup plan in case we don't have enough sales after e have finished with the designs," He said. "Backup plan, how is that?" I inquired impatiently. "You have no right to question my decisi
"Honey, I can't believe this, so you would want to let him squander such an amount of money?" My mom inquired facing my Dad. "I trust that he is always making the right choice," My Dad said. "I know he is going to bring profit for the company because he is always obeying my instructions," My Dad said. "Alright then, I think I know what to do," My Mom said as she stormed into her master bedroom. That was how my Mm behaved when she was annoyed because her anger was always serious, so anytime she was angry she always rush to her room or any other place far from where she was annoyed. I remembered when we were teens growing up at our father's house, my Mom once slam a glass jug on the floor when the maid made her angry instead of beating the maid, to control herself. I and Jake went together in my Limousine and unlucky for both of us, Lincoln's men, who were asked to spy on me nearby to see if Jake would respect his wishes saw us together and we became deeply in tr
Jake looked very defiant and wasn't scared. Jake remembered how he was beaten the last time and wanted to exact his revenge. "And she is my woman, and there is nothing you can do about it except wish she was yours," Jake said. At this point, the men surrounded him and led him to a corner where no one could see anything happening. "You see, I always get any woman I want and you are a waste," Lincoln said as he signalled to one of his men to hit Jake. Jake was ready for them this time and he weaved the punch and punched the mab very hard sending him to the floor. Lincoln saw that the man was bleeding from his mouth and was very annoyed. "Nice one," Lincoln said clapping his hands together. The second man came towards Jake and Jake weaved his attack but unknowingly to Jake, one of them attacked him from behind. "Argh, "Jake groaned in pain as he fell to his knees. The men saw this and were happy. They all gathered and held Jake's hands toget
"So, you had to send men to remind me that you made our useless son decide for our company," My Mom said when she entered the lounge room. My Mom had lost it now and was very angry, it was almost expected that she would smash something soon. Our family maid, Hanna was already in a corner trying to clear whatever my Mm was going to break because she knew my Mom. "Dear, you have to calm down," My Dad advised. "No, I won't," My Mom said. "Now, Paul went and spent the money anyhow and you are telling me to calm down," My mom said as she picked up the glass that had a picture in the lounge room and smashed it on the floor rendering it to pieces. "Honey!" My Dad said but my Mom didn't answer him and went inside her room. "What the hell are you waiting for? Come and pack it," My Dad blurted out at Hannah who was scared to move an inch even after my Mom had gone into her master bedroom. Hannah rushed to pack the pieces of glass on the floor quickly.
The sales had been increasing and there is no sign that we were making any profit. "Loss! A boss that's what we are making," Viola said facing me when she came into my office. All I could do was scratch my head and was thinking of what I could do. Even though I wasn't the Ceo, I knew I had to do something as the assistant Ceo. "Is Paul around in his office," I said finally when I looked up at Viola after scratching and bowing my head down to the desk. "No, he isn't back yet at his office," Viola said. "Alright, let me know when he comes," I said. Paul arrived that day late and acted uncalmly, he knew that he was putting the company in great danger of bankruptcy. "Hey, Paul, it has all been a loss, no profit so far," I said when I entered his office. "Uhm, don't worry, it would be a profit soon," He said. "What about the people from Argentina?" He inquired. "Exactly, they aren't buying it enough for us to make sales, we have to stop s
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
