CHAPTER FIFTY SEVEN

BEVERLY

Immediately when I walked into Alex's house, my smile broadened. I felt relaxed, and I felt like it was truly my house.

So this was what Sally kept to herself alone?

I promised myself that as long as I had stepped foot into this house with my belongings, I would never leave.

"Hey," I called out to one of the maids who had just walked down the stairs.

She walked towards me and bowed in front of me with a surprised look in her eyes.

"Get another maid and bring my luggage in. I'd be right back."

"But..."

She opened her mouth to speak, but I lifted my palm, and she went mute.

"Do as I say, or you'd get your belongings thrown to the street."

I walked out of the house after laying down my orders. I walked towards the car that was parked outside the gate.

The same car that drove me to Alex's house.

My reporter friend and I had become partners in crime. We both needed each other, so we simply gave one another whatever we wanted.

    CHAPTER FIFTY EIGHTSALLY"How are you doing?" James asked me. We were now seated on my bed. The last time James and Alex had a fight at James's party, I had plans to talk to him about getting friendly with my husband. But right now, I didn't care if they fought in the public market and destroyed peoples stuff. I already concluded that I would never have anything to do with Alex anymore. The marriage was over. "I've been trying to get over what happened," I told James. The maid soon appeared with a tray. There were two glasses and a bottle of wine in the tray. "I so sorry you had to go through this," he apologised. I smiled. "It's not your fault.""I understand what you're going through right now. Believe me when I say I understand exactly how it feels like to be hurt by someone you truly love and trust."I sighed and buried my head. There was a pause for a while."What are your plans?" James finally broke the silence. "Are you going to divorce Alex now?"The question came as

    CHAPTER FIFTY NINESALLYI scoffed. I couldn't believe that Alex wanted for me to leave so he could bring in Beverly. Was this their plans all along? He didn't even wait for a week. He brought her in the very moment I left. Am I really that unimportant to him?I stared at the picture for a while longer. My knees grew weak immediately, and I lost my appetite. The people in the restaurant didn't stop talking about me and Alex. "She looks pregnant," one of them said. "He wouldn't bring in a pregnant mistress if she isn't carrying his child.""I want to go home," I told James. Coming here was a bad idea. I shouldn't have agreed to eat out with Alex. I wished that I saw it coming. "Please," I stressed as I stared into James's eyes. He was just staring at me without saying a word. He opened his mouth and shut it again. "Can we?" I insisted. "Of course," he stood up, and we walked out of the restaurant together. James was quiet the whole time. He didn't say a word until he began to

    CHAPTER SIXTYALEXANDER I knew that the only time my dad would ask me to visit him was when he had something to scold me about. I was sure he had seen the news as well, and that was the only reason he'd ask to see me. Still, I couldn't deny him the right to see me. I drove into the compound and parked safely at the parking lot. I walked out of the car and stood beside it. I breathed out heavily, with my eyes tightly shot. I was ready for whatever he had in the stall for me. I walked into the sitting room and met my dad, walking down the stares already. "You're here," he said. His voice sounded neutral. He was neither shocked nor pleased. He came to me and I noticed the firece glare in his eyes. He pulled out his phone and pointed it to my face. There was a picture of Beverly hugging me, and another picture of her waking into the house, then the picture of Sally leaving. I sighed. I was aware that it was the reason he called me. I wasn't surprised because I saw it coming.

I walked straight to my bed and sat there, letting out a sigh of relief.After a few seconds, I began to hear continuous knock on my door. I tried to ignore it, but it would not stop. I decided to go out there and find out if it was Alex or someone else. When I opened the door, I saw Alex standing there. "What do you want?" I asked him harshly. "I'm sorry for...""Can you just go away and leave me alone?" I asked him. Alex bit his lower lips gently and tried to speak. I pushed the door forward in an attempt to close it, but Alex grabbed it quickly and placed his left foot in my room."If you want to keep walking with that leg, take it off," I threatened him. "If that would make you hear me out, then fine."I wondered why Alex was putting into much effort to see that I forgave him. What does it matter to him?"What do you want from me, Alex?" I asked him calmly. "And I want you to be sincere. ""I

I quickly turned around and saw Sally standing there, which left me flustered. I quickly hung up and faced Sally, who only stared at me for a while, causing me to swallow hard. With shaky hand and feet, I walked towards the switch and turned the lights on. Sally picked up the call and walked away. I was stunned. I wondered if she heard my conversation with Peter or not. I'd kill Peter if he ever got me in trouble. I was already close to becoming the queen I've always dreamt of being, and he was trying to ruin everything for me. My phone began to ring again. It was still Peter calling. I hung up. He texted me with a threat saying he would come over if I didn't pick up the calls. I rushed back to my room and picked up his call. I was already sweating profusely. "What do you want?" I demanded harshly when I

    CHAPTER SIXTY THREESALLY I walked into my room and stood in the middle of the room with my phone in my hand. "Why haven't you been at work?" Mr Clarence questioned. I rolled my eyes. "I was out of town," I responded. I noticed someone walking in the compound and rushed towards the window. I opened the curtain and stood there, watching. Beverly walked out of the compound dressed in simple clothing. I stared at her until I could no longer see her. Something in my gut told me that Beverly was up to something. I thought of following her, but I immediately decided against it. "You should be at work tomorrow," Clarence informed me. "We have a very important meeting to attend to."I sighed deeply. "Of course, I will. I'm back in town."I let go of the curtain immediately when we hung up. I sat on my bed and placed both hands on my knees. Beverly was obviously up to some mischief. Although I didn't pick up her conversation earlier, I heard her say, "It's not yours."I wondered what

I simply scoffed and continued eating. I didn't have the energy for the stress he was about to put me through. One thing I know for sure was that I would never leave the house matter what. I was here to stay, and nothing would change that. "You have to leave, Beverly. My wife is not comfortable with your presence here.""Why?" I asked, as I faced Alex. "I have the same right to this house as she does. I even have more right. I'm the one who's carrying your child, not her."Alex nodded."That's right, but..." He paused for a while and ran his fingers through his hair. I pushed my nose forward. "You can stay in a hotel until I find you somewhere you'd be comfortable and you'd love to stay.""Better stop searching cause I do not have plans to leave this house.

"I'm not sure, but I know she needs to leave my house. I just can't wait for the baby to be born, so she will return every dime I spent on that child if it isn't mine.""With the huge amount of money you just sent to her?" Clinton asked. "Nah, that woman would wreck you."I leaned backwards and placed my hand on my jaw. My agent was doing a very terrible job in finding an apartment for Beverly. I wanted her out of my house as soon as possible. "I need you to start searching for a house around town. A house that's not too big and won't cost me so much. I need to get rid of Beverly as soon as possible."Clinton nodded. "Your wish is my command, sir," he agreed.

We were glad that they had to reduce the term he was supposed to serve in prison, seeing that he was good during his stay.

"Lucas hit my eyes."I patted her head and whispered, "Sorry," to her.She ran off, feeling excited about the fact that I apologised on behalf of her twin brother. I didn't meddle in their fights.

I heard the doctor asking the nurses to chathe the defibrillator. I could feel it on my chest severally. I wanted to just rest. I wished that they would stop trying to revive me and let me be. I could feel my floating body moving up and down without my consent.I thought I was going to die, but the doctors and Alex were not ready to give up on me. They kept trying until I opened my eyes. Alex gasped when he noticed that I opened my eyes. Everything stopped, and everyone stopped moving."Sally," Alex whispered under his breath before rushing towards me. He hugged me tightly and whimpered. There was a celebration in the room. My parents rushed in with Jessica and Diana when they heard the celebrat

I had to hold Jessica throughout the journey because she was having a panic attack. She kept asking me if her sister would die. I didn't know how else to assure her that Sally would be fine. I was also hoping, just like her. I didn't have any supernatural powers.We got to the hospital, and while she was being transferred to the bed, her parents drove in. Her mom alighted from the car before it even stopped and rushed towards us. Her heart was racing as she approached us. "My daughter," she cried out in pain. She held Sally and began to cry and call out Sally's name. She was pulled away from Sally by the nurses, and they wheeled Sally into the ward where surgery would be conducted on her.Jessica hugged her parents tightly.

"This is not a toy, Sally," Beverly warned.She intentionally shot at the wall to make Sally see that they weren't joking about killing Jessica if she didn't sign the papers. "One," Beverly counted. Sally was already shaken. She remembered how she felt after hearing the gunshot. When she thought that Beverly killed her sister for real. Her hands were shaking.She knew what Beverly could do, and she could not afford to lose her sister. She knew that she would end up signing the papers even after they killed her sister."Let me have the papers," she requested.

Sometimes, it rang, other time, it didn't. I kept trying to reach Sally even though it was getting frustrating. When I called again, it was switched off. This made me stand up to my feet. "Calm down, Alex," Clinton advised me. I could not think straight. I logged into the app and tried to track Sally's phone again, but it got disconnected. I could no longer track her, and it was because her phone was switched off. "Let me have your phone," I asked Clinton. "Of course," he replied as he dipped his hands into his pocket and brought out his phone. He handed his phone over to me. I took it from Clinton and dialled Sally's number. It was still switched off.

I was sure that I didn't leave any traces, and I was certain that no one followed me down to this place.As I drove, I could feel my hands shaking terribly. A lot ran through my head at the same time. I finally got to the location. I parked my car outside the building, and alighted from the car..I called Beverly to inform her that I was at the location. After a while, she arrived with two men. I opened the car boot for them to get the money. They pulled the bag out of the car and dropped it on the floor. They opened the zip and quickly searched through it."It's intact," one of them to Beverly. "We can't trust this woman," Beverly told them. "We have to count the money first.""Where's she?" I asked Beverly. "We would only release her to you after counting the money and making sure that it is complete."I didn't want to go in with them, but my sister

I knew that she cried the moment I walked in and saw her eyes. Even though Sally kept insisting that she was fine until she slept off, I knew that she was not fine. She was only saying so to get me off her back. I tried to go through her phone, but it seemed like she had deleted her recent calls. The only call I saw was that of her mom and other unimportant calls. I walked back to the bag lying on the floor of our room. I opened the bag and stared into it for a while. I hoped that all was well. I returned to the bed and kept rolling there. I didn't even notice when I slept off.The next morning, I felt someone shaking me tenderly. I opened my eyes slowly, and I rubbed them with both hands. When I opened my eyes widely, I saw Sally seated in front of me.
