CHAPTER 71

Lucas' sight was blurry when he opened his eyes for the first time since the accident. The sound of the beeping of the hospital machines was foreign to him as he tried to recall where he was.Daphne was already dozed off on a sofa nearby. She had taken the kids to school and was back at the hospital to look after her brother. The sound of his stirring woke her up and she pressed the emergency bell immediately to call on the doctor.She rushed to where he was and looked him in the eyes, her heartbeat becoming faster."Can you see me?" She asked him frantically."Where am I?" He asked her painfully as he had a terrible headache."Thank God you are awake," Daphne said, unconsciously ignoring his question. He looked flushed and she waited patiently for help. The doctor soon arrived with a team of nurses and they began a quick check on him. Daphne was asked to excuse them while they worked.She stepped outside with joyful tears brimming in her eyes. When she looked up, she saw Scarlett ap

CHAPTER 72

After he broke the news to Scarlett, every other thing the doctor said to her was not heard. If there was anything Lucas needed, it was his legs because he was a businessman. A spinal cord injury meant nerve damage and she knew that it would be a difficult run."Is there anything that we can do to salvage this situation?" She asked the doctor. "Money is not the problem at all," she added."We can assign a physiotherapist for some sessions," the doctor suggested. "We can expect a quicker recovery from that," he added.Scarlett was short of words as she headed out of the office. She was at a loss as to how to break the news to Lucas. He would be so devastated, but he may or may not learn to accept his situation and that was enough to bother her.When she reentered the ward, Lucas was playing happily with his kids on the hospital bed. Her eyes fell on his leg which was raised on a cast as she held back the brimming tear that threatened to slip from her eyes. It hit her suddenly that she

CHAPTER 73

Scarlett rushed upstairs just after she had seen Alex off. He had not been happy with her decision, but in the end, he was intent on supporting her with whatever path she chose. He had given her a big hug and handed her some cash, even if she did not need them before he left.Lucas was awake but lay lifeless on the bed when she got in. "Your little boyfriend was here to see you, right?" He began. She refrained from saying anything to him. Throughout her stay, since they were back from the hospital, she had been trying so much to tolerate his excesses and flares. "I wonder how he has the nerve to come to see a married woman in her matrimonial home," he continued intent on annoying her. He had developed a fetish for making everyone around him as angry as he was. She still did not utter a word to him but proceeded to run his bath. She was doing everything for him as he would not let anyone else touch her."What does that make you?" He continued. "Shameless or slutty?" He asked and let

He had finally allowed a physiotherapist to conduct a session for him, which was going to take a couple of months.

He wanted him to be around all the time right in the house and Scarlett had to tell Alex not to bother coming to pick him up.Whenever they talked over the phone, she felt bad as Alex felt distant and neglected.

Callan loved him more and even though Jason had been given a separate room, he was always spending the night in Callan's, where they were either playing some video games or exploring new toys.One evening, Lucas said he wanted to have a word with her after dinner.

CHAPTER 75

Scarlett went over the details of the contract over again. It still seemed like a dream come true, and thought she was still basking in one. She went over to where Lucas was and engaged him in a warm embrace.He had gotten her another Paris contract. It was not just Paris this time, but there was an opportunity for an African food tour among the amazing benefits the terms of the contract offered. "How did you get this done?" She asked him, still bewildered at his offer. "You seem to have forgotten who Lucas Maxwell is," he said with a tinge of pride. "I just had to put in a word or two for you and in no time, they got back to me with the benefits embedded in there," he continued."I still can't believe my eyes," she said to him."You deserve it, Scarlett," he said. "Even if I had to put in a word for you, I am very sure that they would not have considered you if you did not have a reputation," he added. Scarlett looked at him and was at a loss as to what to do. "Thank you so much,"

CHAPTER 76

So many questions ran through Scarlett's mind as she read through the paternity test. At first, she thought that Lucas probably had a child with someone else, but as she looked through, she discovered that it was for Jason.She wondered why he would need a paternity test when she told him he was his son. There was a striking resemblance between father and son that Daphne had noticed at first glance without being told. She wondered what he thought of her, and she became enraged. He had not to do anything like that. She wondered how he had even managed to do a specimen collection right under her nose without her knowing. Then it clicked. She remembered the day the doctor had come to examine him at home. He whispered something into the doctor's ears and soon, he asked her to excuse them for a private discussion. She did not bother to eavesdrop as she thought that it was probably about his health. She wondered what else he was hiding from her aside from the paternity test. She was goin

CHAPTER 77

Scarlett waited patiently until Lucas and his assistant finished their meeting. She had resolved to find out more about their conversation on her own. She would find out what the issue is. Once his assistant came out of the room, he flashed her an obvious feigned smile as he walked away. She reentered the room and met Lucas rubbing his forehead painfully."Do you have a headache?" She asked him, startling him. He did not know when she had come in. His mind was still focused on the meeting that he just had with his assistant.A lot had been going on in the company. They had little to no clients anymore, and he was already thinking of selling out his assets, just to keep himself above water. All he had worked for over the years were going down the drain, and it was all because of Cole. He had to be the mastermind. He had helped him in the beginning and he was intent on wrecking him now that he felt betrayed by Lucas.He was going to put the house they lived in up for sale too. He neve

CHAPTER 78

Scarlett was not sure if she had made the right decision about talking to Alex, but she had been so desperate for a helping hand that she had no other option.She had forgotten to put back the files after she had allowed Alex a duplicate of them. It was when he asked that she went ahead to replace what she had taken. She was only relieved that he was not suspicious of her. He would eventually be made when he knew what she did, but he would eventually see that everything that she did was for the best. She reminisced on the conversation she had with Alex in his house.When she asked for his help, he was reluctant at first and would not agree to help her. "Does Lucas know about this?" He asked her. She shook her head to his surprise."I would not be offering you any hand if he doesn't know about it," he said. "I guess we can deal with that when you agree to help," she said, trying to manipulate him a bit. If there was one strength she had, it was how smart she was, her ability to mane

CHAPTER 79

The road to Nick's parent's house was a lonely path, but Daphne did not seem bothered. Scarlett on the other hand thought they were lost. Daphne had ended the call already and was scrolling lazily through her phone, giggling at intervals at what she saw. "Are you sure we are on the right path?" Scarlett asked. Daphne laughed. "Of course we are," she replied. "Nick's father owns the entire estate, and everything in it," she said. "So that means that we are already on the property?" She asked again, looking around at the eery thicket that surrounded them. Daphne did not say anything. Instead, she pointed before them at a magnificent gate.They had to wait for a while. "They are checking out if we are guests," Daphne said and giggled. It was obvious that she was enjoying the fancy life. She had indeed landed the jackpot.The gate soon opened to them on its own accord. From what Daphne had told her, the house sat on six thousand hectares of property. They went through a long path that

CHAPTER 80

Alex was as surprised to see them all as they were. A lot of questions traveled between them but nobody asked them. Everyone was mute instead. He had just gotten to his parents' house from the airport very late. He had a few things to tidy up at work, most of which were about Lucas' company that Scarlett had saddled him with. He thought of inviting her to the wedding but he did not think that she would want to leave Lucas. The most surprising part of it all was that he had no idea that Daphne was Nick's bride. When he requested a photo from his elder brother, Nick said that he wanted it to be a surprise. And here he was, surprised to the bone."Wait, do you all know each other?" Nick asked as he took in the expression on their faces. Nobody said anything. "I think I need a drink," Alex said as he headed towards the exit of the top floor. Scarlett excused herself and followed after him. "Can someone please explain to me what is going on among you all?" Nick asked again."Sugar, I t
