CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY

My eyes opened widely, and my mouth was also widely opened. I stared at the picture in disbelief for a while. Clinton noticed that I was shocked, so he moved even closer to me and stood beside me. He dipped his head into my phone.

He furrowed his brow and faced me.

"What is the matter?" He inquired.

"I... I... uhm... have a look," I told Clinton.

I lost my voice trying to explain to Clinton what was going on. He took my phone and stared at the same pictures he sent to me. His brows were still furrowed, which meant that he didn't even realise what was going on.

I wondered how Clinton wasn't able to recognise the man in the picture, even though he had sent it to me.

"Go through the documents," I told Clinton.

Clinton began to go through the documents, and his eyes widened. I was no longer as angry as I was when I walked into the office. My anger had been replaced with shock.

    CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY ONE SALLY It was finally the day of the party. I was aware that Alex didn't want to be there. Not after what he told me, but I wouldn't let him waste away at home when he could just go to the party and pretend that all was well. Alex's phone began to ring. I walked towards the bed and picked up the phone. Alex was still in the toilet. "Alex, it's Damien," I called out loudly. "Pick it up," Alex responded. I picked up the call. "I'm almost at the venue already. Where the fuck are you bro!" Damien shouted without even realising that it was me, and not Alex. "Alex and I would be on our way soon.""Soon? That means you haven't even left your house yet?" Damien's voice was calmer now. He didn't raise his voice the way he did earlier, any longer. "Yes, we are still home. We apologise for wasting your time."Alex and I finished dressing up, and his drive drove us to the party hall. We were accompanied by three of Alex's guards. Alex called Damien whe

    CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY TWOJAMESWhen I saw Damien walk into the party, I walked behind him and took the table tight behind his. I knew that Sally and Alex would definitely join him.Immediately after I settled in my chair, I brought out a face cap and wore it. I didn't want my identity to be revealed immediately. My table was directly behind theirs. That way, I would be able to monitor them. Damien walked out after a while. I tried to keep my eyes on him in case he wanted to switch seats. He left the hall completely and returned with Sally and Alex. I sat up when I saw them. My heart shook for Sally, and it got triggered with anger when I saw Alex holding her hands. It hurt me whenever I saw them together. The party began properly, and I listened carefully to every of their conversation. I was happy to see how Alex was affected by the new CEO. That was the second reason I was here. The first was to see Sally. "Sir, do you have a standing order?" One of the servers asked m

    CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY THREE SALLYI thought that James would leave immediately after I asked him to, but he wouldn't. "You look prettier today," he teased me. I sighed. I wasn't expecting James to get friendly, but of course, he wouldn't know that. "Thank you," I appreciated. "Alex's baby looks good inside you."I giggled.Alex walked back to us and stood beside James. It just had to be when I smiled genuinely. It was more annoying that Alex wouldn't know I smiled because James said his baby looked good inside me. It was cute. "Why are you here?" Alex asked James as he stood behind him. "Do you own the chairs at this place, too?" James fired back at Alex. I sighed deeply. It was as though I had seen this coming. I didn't want the two to get into a fight, so I decided to act fast. "James," I called calmly. He turned to me, obviously offended. "Are you going to take his side now?" James asked me. "You were here, and it was obvious that your husband was the one who s

I decided to let go of my anger for now and just focus on the meeting we were to attend. Alicia and I walked into James's office together. We met him standing beside one of his drawers. He gasped when we opened the door and walked in. "Sorry about that," I apologised, pretending that I didn't do it intentionally. "We just wanted to make sure that you were okay since I wasn't able to reach you through your phone."James sighed deeply before he settled down on his chair. Alicia and I exchanged knowing glances. We were both aware of what we did, and surprisingly, it worked out exactly as we had planned it. "My phone was on flight mode. I didn't want any disturbance during the meeting. I am sorry, I didn't know that you would try to reach me."I nodded, accepting his apology. Alicia and I quickly settled for the meeting. My eyes were fixed on James's to see if he would

    CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY FIVE SALLYMy guard was talking in a low tone, but I could not hear what he was saying. "What's going on here?" I shouted, and the two paused immediately. It seemed like my voice electrocuted both of them, and none of them said anything else. "Why are you here?" I asked the old woman calmly. She stepped forward and bowed before me. She looked very weak and lean, and her necks had grown long. Her fingers were wrinkled, and she could barely walk freely. "Can we talk for a while?" She pleaded. I was quiet for a while. I didn't want to trust whatever was connected to the old lady, but I felt pity for her. She was once my nanny. All she showed to Beverly and I was love. She never treated us differently. No, I would say she did because she always put me ahead of Beverly. I was her top priority. "Come in," I ushered her in. As she stepped closer, the guard turned around to face me. He had this questioning look on his brow. I smiled deeply. "This is Be

    CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY SIX SALLYWhen Alex came home, I walked to him and hugged him tightly. I could not wait to break the news of our visit to my family's house to Alex. I took his bag from the guard and took it inside. When we were inside, I began to help Alex unbuckle his suit. "What would you have for dinner?" I asked Alex. "Did you make something already? Or would you make something right now?" I sucked my teeth. "I'd take your orders, my lord. Does it matter what I do with it?" I asked him. "Anyways, I would do whatever you wish. Just state it."Alex narrowed his eyes at me. He wrapped his hands around my waist and stared deep into my eyes. My hands were wrapped around his neck as I stared into his eyes, too. "Why do I feel like you're up to some mischief?" Alex asked me. I smiled. "I am not up to anything. Unless you are accusing me of something I didn't do."He nodded his head and pushed me backwards a bit. "I'd like to eat you first."Alex didn't wait for

I had strictly selected the team who would work on this project to avoid a repetition of what happened the last time.I was careful enough to make sure that there was no new member on the team. I wouldn't let the same thing happen twice under my nose. While I paced the room with my hands tied behind my back, the door opened, and I was about to raise an alarm when I saw that it was Alicia. She walked towards me with a file. "The security I mounted outside the door, they are still there, right?" I asked Alicia. "Of course," she replied. "They only let me in because they knew that I am part of the team."I sighed and nodded. I made sure to mount enough security by the gate to avoid entertaining any foreigners. I didn't want anyone who wasn't in the team to come in. "Here are the documents from the last meeting we had with the investors from Yorkshir

"You both are welcome," she said to us, forcing a smile. "The doctor was just telling me about the test result and that the baby is yours."I scoffed. Alex took a step closer to Beverly's bed, but I grabbed him and pulled him backwards. "We heard everything you said, Beverly. Why don't you give up?" I asked her. I knew that Beverly thought we didn't hear her conversation with the doctor. It was so unfortunate that we heard everything loud and clear, and she was caught in the act. I thought it was time for Beverly to give up now. I wore a victorious grin on my face as I watched Beverly lying there in bed. Her brows are now squeezed in a confused look. She tried to sit up. Alex and I watched her as she struggled until she finally sat up in bed. The doctor also watched us. He was still in shock and unabl

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 just apologised on behalf of the other person, and it was okay.I knew that Lucy was more troublesome, but I would never take sides. I didn't want any of them to feel that I loved t

I couldn't open my eyes even though I wanted to..I could hear people running around, even though the sounds echoed. I could hear the machine beeping very loudly. 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.

She only shut her eyes tightly with her fist clenched. "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. James handed the papers to her, and she quickly placed her signature in every single place that it requested.James collected the papers from her. He had a triumphant smile on his fac

I told Clinton what was going on, and he advised that I tried calling Sally again, which I quickly did, but I could not reach her..I became alarmed. I kept calling going Sally's number. 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.

She asked me.I was just smiling at her as I touched her chin. She slapped my hands off."Hold her!" I ordered the driver who had brought her in. He held her hands tightly, and she struggled with him. "Let go of me!" She commanded with so much authority.I grabbed her chin and squeezed her face.She whimpered as she struggled to free herself from my grip, but I wouldn't let her go.
