All Chapters of His Only Obsession: Chapter 41 - Chapter 47

A week later “You don’t have to do this Raine.” Meira said as they stood outside the door of the basement of Emerson group. He’d stayed home for two days to rest and then insisted on seeing Giovanna so Meira had no choice but to oblige him.   “I want to. I have to see her.” He insisted.   “Okay.” She sighed. “I’d want to see my sister too after all these years if she were supposedly alive.”   The door opened revealing one of the bodyguards and Raine walked in nodding at the bodyguard.   “I’ll be waiting in your office.” Meira told him. “I happen to like the view from up there very much.”   “Okay.” He grinned.   “Don’t stress yourself.” She kissed him and left.   “Leave us please.” He said to the remaining two guards.   The guards left and closed the door behind them leaving him alone with Giov

“Wonderful news my husband.” Angela beamed at Richard as she sat down. “You won the lottery?”. He asked. “Much better. Our mighty enemy has fallen.” She laughed gaily. “The only enemy I know of…,” He paused as his eyes widened. “Raine Cruz is dead?!”. “I wish. Meira has been kidnapped and I heard that she’s pregnant.” Angela beamed. “Really? Who kidnapped her?”. He was shocked. “Some white people that are after her husband or so it seems.” She shrugged. “I hope they kill her so he’ll suffer.” She said. “I doubt he’ll let them get away with it.” Richard remarked with grudging respect. “He’s like a cat with nine lives.” “Anyway, I want you to sign this check for me.” She took out his check book, opened the page and passed it to him. “The kids need new clothes and shoes and I have to pay the house rent or else we will be thrown out of the house.” “Fifty thousand naira?!”. His eyes widened. “This is the remaining am

“I don’t want to lose my babies Raine.” Meira cried as she struggled to free herself. “Let me go!”.   “Shut up!”. Leonardo hit her temple with the butt of his gun.   Raine scrambled to his feet and rushed forward but stopped when Leonardo pointed the gun at him.   “Move one inch and she’s dead.”    “Please! I need to take her to the hospital.” Raine pleaded. “She’s bleeding.”   “Does it look like I care?!”. Leonardo’s eyes flashed.    Meira clamped her teeth together to stifle the scream that was coming and simultaneously elbowed Leonardo hard in his ribs making him release her with a grunt.   “Meira!”. Raine rushed forward to meet her and helped her up.   “Emeliano look out!”. Raina called out in horror as Leonardo reared up with a curse, pointed the gun in their direction and fired before they could do any

Six weeks later The judge that was supposed to preside over Richard’s case had a severe heart attack so his case was postponed until another judge was available.   A day to his hearing, he got a surprise visit from Meira and the twins and he imagined that Meira had come to tell him that she was dropping the charges against him, he imagined himself a free man again and he imagined that he’d stayed with Meira and they lived happily ever after.   “Long time no see.” Richard said.   “Hello Richard.” She sat down and the twins followed suit. “You look… like hell.” She commented.   “I feel like I’m there already. How are you?”. He asked.   “I’m good. Just came by to visit you since I won’t be at the hearing tomorrow.” She told him.   “Oh? Aren’t you going to witness?”.   “Raine said there’s no need for me to. I don’t wa
