Chapter 126It was evening and everywhere had almost gotten dark. Lisa was so busy in her office that she didn't know what time it was. Just then she heard a knock on her door. “Come in,” she said and Dina walked in holding her bag. Lisa raised her head and stared at her. “Going home so early?” Lisa asked as she dropped the pen in her hands on the table.“What do you mean? It’s almost night?” Dina said and Lisa opened her eyes wide as she stared outside her office window. Her kids were still in school. She had almost forgotten Daniel had traveled today and she was supposed to be the one to pick them up from school. “Oh, Jesus” Lisa yelled as she stood up in a rush, picked up her phone and her bag then her car key. “What’s wrong?” Dina asked“The kids, they’re still in school” Lisa yelled as she ran out of her office to her car. She hopped into her car, ignited the engine, and zoomed off at full speed. **********************Meanwhile, a black Lamborghini screeched to a halt in f
Chapter 127Mommy is here” Arabella yelled happily and then Alfred turned around and to his greatest surprise, he saw her. The person he never thought he would see again. “Lisa....” Alfred called out in shock.“Alfred” Her voice was so low that she could barely hear what she said. Her heart stopped as she stood rooted to her place. Her Stomach twists. She felt her breathing change as she saw Alfred. She then felt a sharp pain in her chest as her muscles Constricted. She felt time seeming to slow down. Not being able to comprehend what she was seeing. Was this Alfred with her kids in his arms? She felt numb. “Mommy” her kids called out jolting Lisa out of her thoughts. “Come here kids,” Lisa said and the kids turned to Alfred who put them down immediately.“Mommy, you know him? “ Isabella asked “You and your sisters go to the car and wait for me there,” Lisa said as she swallowed hard. Trying to calm herself down. She felt like putting a knife on this man's chest for touching her
Chapter 128She carried them to their room and helped them take their bath. After that, she helped them lay on their bed. She told them a bedtime story till they drifted to sleep. By the time she was done, she was already exhausted.She stood up from the chair she was sitting on and moved towards her daughters who were asleep. She kissed their forehead and walked out of the room. She walked inside her room and locked the door. She then sat on the ground and put her hands on her head as tears slipped down her cheeks. Memories of everything Alfred did to her came running into her head like flash. How it had all started, the ambush, how her mom was killed by her uncle. How she was sold out and Alfred had told her she was paying for her father’s sin even though she had no clue then, of what her father did to him.He tortured her and made life a living hell for her. She never thought she would survive but she did and now when she thought she was never going to see him again when she thou
Chapter 129Today was the funding party day, she needed to get to the restaurant in time to make sure everything was okay and well arranged.After Lisa had gotten to the restaurant, she went straight to her office and dropped her things off. Just then Dina walked inside her office. “Hey” Dina smiled at Lisa“Hey,” Lisa managed to smile as she brought her phone from inside her bag. “Is everything in place? Is there anything you would want me to tell Andrea to bring in?” Lisa asked “Yes, everything is in order. We just need a few chafing dishes” Dina said and Lisa nodded in response. “They will be delivering a new T-shirt with the restaurant name written on it. All the staff and the people who will serve must put it on. It's a must” Lisa said as she dialed Andrea's number on her phone. “But Lisa I thought you said no T-shirt just cooperate, Black and White?” Dina asked, wondering why the change of plan was all of a sudden. “I changed my mind Dina and that's my final decision,” Lis
Chapter 130That monster” Lisa said, almost yelling and Dina quickly closed the open door.“Oh my goodness! Where? When?” Dina asked surprised.“I saw him at my kid's school yesterday and now he's at the party,” Lisa said as scratched her head.Dina stared at Lisa whose eyes were now filled with tears. “The moment I saw him those memories I have been trying to bury, they came back. I can't sleep at night Dina, I keep remembering all the things he's done to me. It makes me so angry that I hurt Isabella last night” Lisa cried and Dina exhaled deeply not knowing what to say. She moved towards her and helped her stand up from the chair that hugged her. “You gonna be fine. Everything will be fine” Dina consoled as she patted her back. Just then they heard a knock on the door. Dina moved away from the hug and cleaned her tears. “Come in,” Dina said and the manager, Aria, opened the door and walked in. “Ma’am, your attention is needed outside, “ Aria said “Hope everything is fine out th
Chapter 131Stay the fuck away from me else I'm not going to slap you in public next time I'm gonna do something worse. It's not a threat, it's a warning” Lisa said and with that, she walked away.Alfred stood numb not saying a word. He was in shock that Lisa slapped him. Just then Mr. Luke walked toward him.“What just happened? Is Mrs. Lisa a gangster?” Mr. Luke asked as he saw Lisa walk away angrily. “What happened Alfred, why did she hit you?” Mr. Luke asked Alfred who seemed to be lost in thought. Alfred stared at the crowd who were still staring at him murmuring. He didn’t care about the crowd, they can say whatever they want all he wants and care for is for Lisa to talk to him but she seems to hate him a lot and wouldn't want to talk to him at all.“Alfred.....” “Let's talk somewhere else,” Alfred said as he walked away and entered Luke's car and Mr. Luke hopped in too.Meanwhile, Lisa walked inside her office angrily with Dina trailing behind her. “What happened Lisa? You
Chapter 132No one is above mistake, Alfred. People make mistakes. No matter who we are or how influential we are, one way or the other we've hurt people and made so many mistakes but that doesn't make us a bad person” Mr. Luke said and Alfred shook his head. “You don't understand,” Alfred said as he felt so heartbroken. All he could feel at that moment was Pain and regret. “I understand, Alfred. I can see you regret everything you did to her, you just have to make her see how much you regret it and how far you'll go to make things right” Mr. Luke said and Alfred turned to him. “How do I even do that when she doesn't even want to talk to me? She hates me so much” Alfred said “You do not need to speak to her to make her see you regret everything. Action speaks louder than words. Act and Act. Make her see it through your Act ``Mr. Luke said and Alfred stared at him without saying a word. “Does that mean the quadruplets are yours?” Mr. Luke asked. “I don't know. She was pregnant wh
Chapter 133Give the ones you can give out to the beggars in the street. The workers can take as much as they want and you can take them home too. I'll go get my kids from school” Lisa said as she walked out of her office. She wasn’t sure how she was going to fix it but she just needed to find a way to fix it.After she had picked up her kids from school they went home straight. Lisa prepared dinner as usual and did her normal routine. When the kids had slept off she went to her room and laid down on the bed as different thoughts fled through her mind.She needed to do something about the restaurant, she can’t just sit and watch her restaurant go down like that. She needed to call for help and her only option was Daniel. She was so sure Daniel had been busy, she didn’t want to disturb him but now she had no choice, he’s her only hope, she thought and was about to pick up her phone to call Daniel, it was then she realized she had left her phone in the sitting room. She was already fee
