Chapter 56: Michael
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56I replayed the text message over and over again in my head but I still can't pinpoint why Nina will want to see me. Does she want to break up with me? Hell!! No, I don't think she could do that.
“ Are you ready to order anything sir?” I came out of my thoughts to see a young waitress staring at me. Immediately, she recognised me, she couldn't help gawking at me.
“ Not yet, I will let you know,” I told her before turning to stare out of the window. I could see Don and John circling through the whole building. Though I was supposed to meet Nina, I also needed to meet Austin. I need to know why all of this is happening?
I turned back just as I saw Austin strolling down the sidewalk with dark sunglasses on his face and a black hat.
I was about to signal for a waitress when I noticed that the previous one was still beside me. I look up to see her staring at me with such hunger in her eyes. I cleared my throat as she looked away not after giving me the signal that

“Deborah! Deborah!! ”I stood up from the bed grumbling under my breath. Why will dad be waking me up so early in the morning!. Oh! I hate this! I wish I was at Michael's place where everyone treats me like a queen.The door opened and closed as dad ventured into my room with his hands in his pocket. I stood up and walked to go meet him in the sitting room where he was seated on a couch.“ Good morning Dad! “ I greeted him as I pulled my bathrobe closer to cover my protruding stomach.....“ How are you?” Dad answered as he crossed his legs together before turning to look at me seriously “ Have you heard from Michael? ”I shake my head “ No, dad. I haven't seen or talked to him after the scene at his office the other day but I will be going over to his mom's place today” I answered as my dad nodded.“ That's good but I need you to get closer to him and do anything. I don't know, I've been hearing rumours that he has been meeting up with Nina

I strolled into the Thompson's Empire the next morning with a heavy heart. After receiving a call from Michael to meet him at the office, I couldn't help wondering what could be wrong?I smiled immediately I remember the prank I pulled on my bodyguards this morning, Gosh! I'm so clever…“Good morning Miss Miller. I'm Aurora, I will escort you to Mr Thompson's office” I came out of my thoughts to see a young girl speaking to me.I was skeptical while trying to remember where I probably would have met her. My brain has been fussy after the accident, I have problem remembering some things.“I'm sorry, Aurora but do I know you?” I asked her as I watch her slowly.“Sure, Miss Miller. I'm Mr Thompson's personal assistant” Aurora replied causing me to nod my head at her. I clenched my fists together as I brush past her.I suddenly remembered Michael telling me that he had slept with her before. Gosh! I can't believe the nerve of that man. Did

I pulled the car into my parent's driveway and shut the engine. I don't know why I'm suddenly having this feeling of coming to see them but my conscience wouldn't let me be even though they are only my adopted parents.I rested my head on the steering, my mind flashed back to what happened earlier this week. I knew I shouldn't try to hurt Nina again. I'm reluctant to do that but Deborah won't be happy, I need to please her, she's the woman I love and the mother of my boy .The sound of my phone ringing pulled me from my trance as I picked it up from the dashboard. A quick glance at the caller's ID caused me to quickly pick it up.“Hello. Xavier, what's going on ?” I asked him cause I wasn't expecting any of his calls. My eyes scan the front porch of my parent's house, memories of my sister running down the porch flooded my brain as I forced it away. I miss Mia so much.....“ Doctor Pierre just called me. He said a lady came to asked information about you at t

I marched into Lush Beauty after sending my bodyguards off. I was glad my dad accepted for me to come after spending an hour promising him that I won't talk to Michael..“Good morning Miss Miller, how's your health?” One of the sales ladies greeted me with a smile on her face.I couldn't help smiling back as I took the elevator to Andrea's office where I know everyone will be waiting for me…Lexa immediately stood up to greet me as soon as she saw me approaching. A big smile was plastered on her face“ Hi! Miss Miller. Nice to see that you are getting better”“Thank you Lexa. You are not looking bad yourself too” I replied as she knocked on Andrea's office. She motioned me to go in after we heard a response from Andrea..I walked into Andrea's office and stopped short. I was disappointed that Michael was not here. Rather it was Darcy who was seated with a document opened in front of her and a big smile on her face.“Come have a seat Nina, we were j

There was a distinct chatter of voices closer to me. I couldn't quite catch what they were saying or who they were?...I struggled to stand but noticed that my hands were tied by a strong robe that could only be used for animals. I struggle to free my hands from it but it was effortless.My throat was dried, I wanted to scream for whoever they were to come take me out of here but no words were coming outI squinted my eyes in the darkness while trying to see if there was anything that I could use to know where I was but nothing as the room was blank save for a black drum at the far corner of the room..“Is she awake?” A man groaned out the words. He moved closer to me, I couldn't make out his features in the darkened room but I was confident that I'd never met him before.My eyes intently seek out the necklace on my neck, I relax as soon as I see it glowing at my chest. It was the only light for me in this darkened place. I hope Michael found me in time

I strolled down the hallway into my office. After the signing event yesterday, I couldn't wait to drop Nina off because Vino had called to tell me that he and Victor were around. I'm so happy that my brothers are at my side.“Good morning, Mr. Thompson” Aurora greeted me with a smile on her face.I smiled back at her as I strolled down to her table and greeted since I was in a good mood this morning“ How are you, Aurora? Hope there's no problem?”Aurora raised her eyebrows at me, shocked, it had been a while since I'd stopped at her office to chat with her“ I'm fine sir. There's no problem” She replied.I acknowledged her answer with a nod and turned to open the door into my office. I walked straight to my chair and sat down while eyeing Andrea with a bored look.I wonder what he was doing in my office so early in the morning. And he looked unkempt. I continue staring at him with my back to the chair and my hands folded across my chest.“Are

I strolled down the hallway annoyance visible on my face. What is Michael planning? Why will he involve the police?.Aurora greeted me as I stepped into the elevator but I ignored her. I need to go see Austin and warn him about the police. Why can't Michael be in love with me? Why does he always choose the hard way which is Nina?This is all her fault. I need to tell Austin to finish her off before the police find out about us. I stepped out of the elevator and walked down the stairs to the parking lot where my white Formatic Classic Benz was parked.I got into it and pulled out of the Thompson's Empire with one thought on my mind, how to make Nina pay?The sound of my phone ringing pulled me out of my thoughts as I turned to switch on my earphones. With the earphone fully placed in my ear I answer the call.“Deborah! Where are you?” My dad's scared voice called out to me from the other line. I guess he had heard the news of Nina's kidnapping and had fi

“ No, Austin please don't listen to her, she is lying to you” I screamed at him whose face was already darkening and his eyes were bloodshot red in anger.I sat afraid on my seat as my hands immediately went to the necklace on my neck. I fumble discreetly for the switch, I didn't know this thing had to be switched on. It's no wonder Michael couldn't find me.“ Deborah can never lie to me, she's the woman I love ” Austin screamed, his voice echoing through the empty room.I scrambled from fear, as I felt lonely in the tiny room. No one was on my side, everyone was with Deborah as she couldn't stop smiling that coy smile. Why is she doing this to me? I thought we were once friends.There was once a time, I would have done anything for her “ Austin please believe me. I was there for you when you needed me remember when you told me you were gay” I told him pleading with him.I saw his eyes soften a fraction more. I had never had any experience w

FIFTEEN YEARS LATER DEBORAH I stepped out of the prison yard with a new change of clothes, clutching onto my purse and accessories, the lady at the reception had handed me in my hands. I shield my eyes from the harsh sun with the purse in my hands, it felt so good to be finally free. “ Woah! The weather is so good today” I exclaimed excitedly, taking a swirl around in excitement. “ Yes, you can say that again” I turned to see Xavier gazing up at me with so much love and affection in his eyes that I couldn't help shielding away shyly.

Did you buy it? It's so beautiful” Nora exclaimed excitedly as she ran up the stairs to the front porch.“ Look Nora, it has a beach” Nadia's giggling voice called to her sister who came bubbling down to see the beach which was at the back of the house.

How was your night?

“ Sir, these are the files you requested for” Aurora's voice called out to me as I turned to watch her standing in the doorway holding on to the files in her hands.“ Good. Come on in” I told her with a broad smile on my face as I motioned her over.Aurora dropped the file on my table while I flipped through the pages looking for a particular entry. It was the budget for the Thompson's Hospital. Apparently, Dad found out the money budgeted for the hospital was too much and requested that we reduce it which was why I'm in a meeting with Doctor Damien. The director of the Thompson's Hospital.“ So, Doctor Damien. We've cut down the budget to fifty million dollars, hope that will be enough?” I asked him, I could see his lips curled up in a fr

We all sat in the courtroom looking around while I held onto my daughter's hands, Michael was on my right holding on to Nadia's hands while Nora was beside me. They had recovered from most of their bruises but we were all still going to therapy every Tuesday. Even Lillian had joined us this time, I couldn't help regretting dragging her into my mess.I stared into the whitewashed room of the courtroom but I wasn't really seeing anything. All I could remember was the night when I felt I was going to die and Michael had saved me the second time ...“ What is she doing?” I turned to stare at Lillian who gazed was fixed on Deborah, who was checking her gun to see if she had enough ammunition in them wearing a light smile on her face. I turned away from the face of the woman that I had come to despise, but couldn't do

I paced around my office in anticipation, ever since our last call with Lillian, we couldn't get in touch with her. She had refused to answer any of our calls and had sent it to her voicemail.“ Any luck with her yet?” I turned to ask Danny who was trying her phone again. I could see the worry etch his brows as sweat streamed down his face. I couldn't help being annoyed with myself that I had caused everything. I regretted ever bringing him and Lillian into this mess. Hell, I regretted ever risking my wife and children's life. If only I never met Deborah then none of this would have happened.“ Not yet. She just won't pick up even after leaving her a dozen messages. She's just so stubborn especially when it comes to Nina” Danny exclaimed running his hands through his hair in frustration as he paced to and fro

“ Joey, come on. Please stop crying. You've got to be strong for your godmother” I called gently to my son who was crying silently on his bed as I stood in his doorway.“ But mom, I'm missing Nora and Nadia so much. I don't know what's going on with them. And who the fuck is Deborah? I so hate her” He screamed at me as he turned to watch me from the doorway trying to dab at his now teary eyes.I strolled to pull him close as I let him sobbed on my shoulder, ignoring him using the swear word. Any other day, I would have scolded him but today, I decided to let him be since he was hurting so badly.“ It's okay son, momma understands. I promise we'll find them soon but please you've got to be strong for them. You know Nora and Nadia wouldn't like to

I couldn't help being worried about them. Is Deborah taking care of them? Have they eaten?A lot of things are going through my mind but there's no one to talk to. Michael had been busy these days, especially after he found out that Deborah had tricked him.He couldn't stop blaming himself for not being vigilant and I couldn't add to his self-loathing by telling him about the calls I've been receiving and that from Deborah.I could still remember her last call which was a few weeks ago after we came back from the hos

“ Mr. Thompson, I'm thinking of investing about a million dollars in your new casino business but I'm afraid of the risk involved in it. Is it legal? I mean most casino businesses are illegal and I wouldn't want my money to go to waste. It's hard to earn a fortune these days you know, and_______”“ Mr. Gonzales” I called to the bald head man who was miles away from me trying to make him stop with his blabbering as I was getting irritated. He was a Spanish business tycoon who had quite a fortune but didn't know how to invest his money. He was just on the news a while back because of his eighteen years old, fifth wife who had squandered his money on a designer outfit that cost a thousand dollars.“ I'm not forcing you to invest in my company but I'd like you to remember that if you don't invest your fortun
