CHAPTER EIGHTY SIX

JAMES

"Three different groups already submitted their budget for the production," I informed my dad.

"Do we have any external sponsors yet?" He asked me.

I shook my head.

"Not yet, dad," he replied.

"This is one of our biggest launches since the beginning of this company. I'm thinking of pitching this idea to potential investors who would invest and not ask for anything in return. "

I leaned backwards and placed my finger in my mouth. Was it even possible to get investors who didn't want anything in return?

"How do we get those investors?" I asked dad with doubts. "Do they even exist?"

"Your mom would be able to handle that. It's a very little case for her. She had connections, so..."

"Why is she not here?" I asked my dad. "She's supposed to be here with us by now. She only asked for two minutes..."

My dad looked around his study room and then moved his gaze to his wristwatch.

"She would..."

Before dad would finish talking, we heard a thud from the sitting roo

    CHAPTER EIGHTY SEVENMR WILLIAMS GRANDE When I got home, Popo was already waiting in my living room. "I was at the hospital when you called," I informed him after we exchanged pleasantries."How is he doing?" Popo asked me. He had a stick of cigarettes in his hand, which he sipped from. "He's out of danger but still unconscious. "Popo nodded and turned to my guards who were with me. I waved at one of them, and he walked away. While I went to sit next to Popo, leaving the other one still standing there. "Keep an eye on my son," I informed the guard, and he bowed with a nod. "Not only my son, keep an eye on Sally, too."Again, he nodded. I turned to Popo, who was lighting another stick of cigarettes after he emptied the first stick. "The truck driver," I asked him. "What plans have you made for him?"Popo sat out of his seat. "I made arrangements for him and his family to leave the country in your secret jet. I also seized the truck in your name while I pretended to be hunting

    CHAPTER EIGHTY EIGHT SALLYTears flowed freely down my eyes as I watched Alex, still in his unconscious state. I was the reason he ended up this way. I knew that he was trying to save me from the accident, which would have affected me instead. Alex didn't deserve to pay for it instead. I wondered why he ran into the truck and saved my life. Why didn't he just let me face whatever consequences I would have been faced with if I got hit instead. Who would have just stayed back and watched. Who knows? If he didn't interfere, a miracle would have saved me instead. I kept wiping my tears, yet they wouldn't stop falling. The door opened, and James walked into the hospital. Seeing James annoyed me, but of course, I had to force a smile that ended up coming out very fake. "Sally," James called with worry all over his face as he rushed to me. He opened his arms widely, and I hugged him tightly, wrapping my arms securely around him. I placed my head on his stomach, as I didn't bother to s

    CHAPTER EIGHTY NINE SALLYThe door opened slowly, making some cracked sound. I lifted my head to face the door. My head had been bowed that way throughout the night. I wasn't sure if I slept off at some point or not. But I knew for a fact that I wasn't fully conscious before the door opened. The sound of the door getting opened was what brought me fully back to life. Two police officers walked in with the doctor. I stood up from my sitting position and greeted them. The officers went ahead to check Alex while taking note of his condition. A nurse was with them, and she spoke to them in whispers. "Sally," the doctor scolded as he approached me. I shut my eyes tightly and opened it again. He placed his hand on my shoulder and stared at me from my head down to my toe and up to my head again. He took his hands off my shoulders and shook his head. "You're not doing yourself any good by acting this way, Sally."I sniffled in and fidgeted with my fingers. "You should take a break, to

    CHAPTER NINETY ALEXANDER I slowly opened my eyes as I felt my whole body feeling weak and heavy. I tried to take in my environment, but my vision was still a bit blurry. I felt pain all over, and it felt like I had been sleeping for a very long time. My vision became clearer as I widened my eyes, and I blinked continuously until it was clear enough. I looked around and noticed that I was in a hospital. I began to wonder why I was there. Did I get into a fight with anyone? My thoughts wandered until I suddenly remembered the accident, causing me to gasp lightly as my heart sank into my stomach. That was when I heard a sound and moved my eyes to the window side. I saw the shoe of a woman, and my hopes lifted as I saw her. I thought it was Sally. I slowly lifted my head to meet the face of the woman who also heard me gasp and was now turning around to face me. Her eyes widened in surprise, and a smile curved out of her lips at the same time when she saw that it was me. "I'll call

    CHAPTER NINETY ONESALLYI wondered why Mr Grande was so rude to Mrs James. I knew the two families were in a competition for power, but that wasn't enough reason for him to react that way. Well, Mr. Grande was a terrible person, so it was normal for him to do terrible things. "I just came to...""You don't have to be here, Diane," he said to her harshly. "Your husband and your son, James, needs you better. Go to them and stay away from me and my family.""But..""No buts!" Grande lifted his hands in the air. "You should have appreciated my presence first," she said sadly. "What is wrong with me coming to pay a visit to...""Don't you dare!" Grande vibrated. Diana turned to Alex with a pleading glare. She was obviously expecting him to speak in her favour or plead with his dad to let her stay. I also stared at him expectantly. "You heard my dad," Alex said in a tone that was rather too calm. "I think it would be best if you'd leave."She nodded, inhaled sharply, and walked away,

My dad also climbed down from his car and tried to hold me. "I can do it," Sally insisted. "Let me hold my son," my dad argued. She stared at him and forced a smile. "I promise you, I can take care of my husband."My dad stayed back outside as his phone began to ring, while Sally and I continued. When we entered the sitting room, Beverly rushed towards us with her arms spread open. Sally gently pulled me back and obstructed Beverly from hugging me, which made me chuckle lightly."Why haven't you moved?" I asked her. "I do not like the house that you rented. I just want to give birth to my baby in a comfortable environment, I'd leave after I give birth."Sally pulled me away from Beverly and led me upstairs. We walked into my room together, and while Sally went to instruct the maids on what to make for me

    CHAPTER NINETY THREESALLY When Alex asked me to take the documents, I didn't think too much about it before asking him to just have it. I knew he needed to do what was right, and I trusted him to be able to do it alone. "Why?" Alex asked me. "I only want to focus on your father's defamation against my company."Alex smiled and nodded his head. I could tell that he was proud of me and what I was doing for the sake of my company and my family. "It's fine," Alex agreed with me and put the documents away. He placed them in a drawer, and I sat beside him. I picked up the glass of juice, which I had earlier placed on the table, and began to feed him."You look so innocent when you take care of me," Alex teased me. "No one would ever know that you are pretending so hard not to like me."I stared at Clinton, whose head was buried in his phone. I knew he was pretending not to hear us when, in fact, he could hear us very clearly. "When you decided to die for my sins," I teased him back. "

I kept lifting my wrist, turning it around and checking what the time was. He was three minutes late to the agreed time. I knew I had come earlier, but once it was the agreed time, I began to check my wrist over and over again. I turned my wrist around, and when I checked for the umpteenth time and lifted my head, I saw him walking into the restaurant. I sighed deeply asbi stretched out on my seat. He walked towards me, and we quickly exchanged handshakes before he sat down on the chair opposite me. We began to talk about ways to keep me out of jail. He talked about pulling some strings to prevent me from being found guilty in court for the scandal case. I didn't quit understand what he planned to do, and how he planned to pull this strings, but I decided to let him do his job since I knew it too well that he was good at wha

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.

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.

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.

"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.
