It's been four months now since Charles spoke to Chris to borrow some funds from his wine company to sort out some debt at the Parker Enterprise. But nothing seems to have worked. Emerald had signed three new big-time clients and these were clients that Charles was working with.The thought of the turn of events made Charles mad and confused.How was it possible to have lost all clients in just a short space of time? He thought.Charles was standing by the window of his bedroom looking into the streets as thoughts kept crippling in and out of his mind.Then Fiona entered to get some files to go for antenatal care. As soon as she lifted the files, it reminded Charles of the time he had mysteriously seen a document he thought was missing in his car.Charles quickly turned to his wife and said, "Fiona. What did you do?""What do you mean by that? What did I do?" She asked back."How did the documents I brought home some time ago suddenly appear in my car?" Charles asked."Are you seriou
"I must admit that work has been hectic in the past couple of days. I have not had enough rest and trust me, if it were up to me, I'd sleep forever," Henry said.He was sitting together with Tracy on her rooftop as they had a little conversation."Are you trying to die or something? Because it's only the dead who sleep forever," Tracy said."Not at all. Knowing you is enough reason for one to fight for life and keep going no matter what," he responded."Good. Because that scared me," Tracy said softly."It did? So you care that much about me?" He asked."Of course I do. Who is going to make me feel special and book a whole restaurant for my sake when you go? So you see? No matter how twisted it may sound, you don't have the right to die. At least not in the next eight years," Tracy said."Eighty years? But that's far away. I'm thirty-two years old now, so the next eighty years makes it one hundred and two years, that is if I'm alive to see that day," Henry said."If you say the next s
"Here comes the bride. Here comes the bride. Here comes the bride, who is the husband?" June said in an exciting tone while she paced about in the living room.Tracy, Louisa and Mrs Briggs were all seated watching June's display.Tracy could not help but smile all through."Seriously, today is the happiest day of my life," June added."And why is that so?" Louisa asked."Isn't it obvious? My friend who has been like a sister over the years is getting married soon and that is why,* she responded."But you are not the one getting married so relax," Louisa added."I Should relax? Oh, do you know how long I've been waiting for a day like this?" June asked."I never imagined Tracy would say yes to another man after what she went through. And now that she has found true love and life is looking good for her, you don't think it's a reason enough to be excited for her?" She asked."I do understand you June. And I appreciate the gesture. Seriously. From the depth of my heart, I do," Tracy cut
Eight months passed.Louisa and Cyril were officially married and the two have moved into the same house Cyril bought for them."I can't believe it's already eight months since I got married," Louisa said.She had gone to Tracy's to visit them."I know right? Time is really flying lately," Tracy said."But truth be told, we miss your company here," June said."Haha, what are you talking about? We all work at the same office so even though I'm married, we virtually see ourselves every day," Louisa responded."But the office vibe is not the same as the home vibes," June said." I can't jump on any bed with popcorn in hand as we gist all we can in the name of chatting. You know that feeling is on a different level, " she added."I can understand. But I'm here anyway," Louisa said."But this is just a short visit. You'd be going back to your hubby soon because you are now married. So you see the difference? Sometime back you would have spent the day here and even spent more days," June sa
One year later, Louisa was pregnant with her first child."Just look at you. You look good with that pregnancy," June said.Louisa was at Tracy's house to catch up with her girls and they could not help but be happy for her."Thank you ladies. I appreciate the love. I know someday you two will also carry your own babies," she responded."But June can I ask you something?" Louisa said."Sure. What is it?" She asked."Don't take this in the wrong light, but I was wondering. Do you visit your parent's house? Or should I say, when was the last time you went home?" "And why do you ask?" June responded."Oh, nothing. It's just that I don't remember the last time I was here and you were not here," she said."You can say that again. I've tried a few times to make her go home to at least see her parents, but I guess she is loving it here," Tracy said."I've heard your counsel, I will visit home soon," June said."And your sister though, have you been hearing from her? How is she?" Louisa aske
Henry had been left shattered after Tracy's accident.The host of Ties That Bind was left paralyzed with memory loss.Tracy had pushed Henry away when he tried to kiss her after she regained consciousness.The only name she remembered in a new state was Charles. And that new development gave Henry a reason to be worried."Andy, I can't believe this is happening to me. After so many years of being unlucky with women, I finally found one and now look at what's happening?" He lamented to his friend.He had left the hospital to go to the house after attending to Tracy. The sight of her and the rejection was too much to bear.So he invited his friend Andy over to keep him company."If only I had gone ahead and married her a long time ago, maybe this would not have happened. I blame myself for this," Henry said."Don't be too hard on yourself. Take it easy please," Andy said."Let's just hope and pray that she recovers faster. Besides, you are a doctor and you have a better insight of what
Days passed and Charles was excited.He had spent his whole time at the hospital for the sake of Tracy.The thought of using Tracy's situation to his advantage was all that he could imagine.His father had spoken to him about the damage Emerald was causing but he just didn't care. All he had on his mind was Tracy.At the St. Anthony hospital, Charles sat on Tracy's bed showing her some photos."This is us. We are married," he said and showed Tracy photos of the two of them when they were previously married."Wow. I was looking beautiful in my wedding gown. And you were also looking handsome," Tracy said after she saw the photos.Meanwhile, it was almost time for Tracy to be discharged from the hospital.June and Mrs Briggs arrived to take her home, but from the looks of things she would be going home with Charles because he had managed to make her believe they were married."Tracy, it's time to go home," Henry said in a pained tone looking at how Charles was all over her."That is gre
Charles had not been to the office in weeks. His father had taken charge once more since he wouldn't listen to his plea to return to the office.Charles had set his eyes on a goal, to win back the love of Tracy and not even Fiona could stand in his way."Now you listen to me, I have had enough of your madness. I tolerated you back then because you were a good girl when I first met you. I thought something had caused you to switch up all of a sudden and prayed you'd change," Charles said to Fiona who was standing in front of him right at the entrance of his father's house."But days went by. Weeks and months and you were still the same. You confirmed that nothing was wrong with you and that it was your true nature," he added."Now I have a reason to be happy again with someone I should not have left for you in the first place and I will not trade my ability to triumph this time for your stupidity," he further said."So you were cheating on me back then and made me look stupid like I di
