Walker scoffed, shoved his hands into his pants pockets, he wasn’t so surprised that Adonis was this desperate. The rich always think everything is about money, although it’s fairly true, but not to him. “I’m more loyal than you think, Adonis. Loyalty comes first,” Walker smiled and continued walking to the exit of the waiting room. “You’re gonna lose your job, Walker, I promise you; I’ll see to that,” Adonis called out angrily, he dragged his tie down and folded his hands into a fist. If there was a table or something in front of him he’d have smashed it out of anger. He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself, he had to hold on till Lilian woke up, she was going to tell him how she got pregnant, whether she lied or not. He wanted to hear it, she was history already; but he had to know if she was really using him. ***Tony got to the home of the elderly faster than he had imagined, there was less traffic on the highway and it was just a few hours to midnight. He parked his

Laurel was already in bed when she got the call, her phone ringing was what woke her up, and hearing Lilian cry on the phone made her heart tighten. She quickly got up from her bed staring at her phone as she headed to her wardrobe to change her nightwear into something else. The location of the hospital entered her phone and she picked up the pace. She wore a white tank top with a blue Jean and quickly grabbed a jacket because of the cold. It was midnight already, it’d be dead cold outside. She hurried downstairs and grabbed her house key from the dining table. She was almost at the door when she remembered she didn’t take her car keys. Even though she didn’t like taking the old car, it was the only option she had that night. It would be difficult to get a cab at a time like that. She shrugged and hurried back to her room. Few minutes later she was on the road, thinking about every possible event that must have occurred to make Lilian call her in the middle of the night. She could

“You know we can’t do that mum, ain’t tryna end up in jail for God’s sake,” Adonis argued, looking worried. He left the edge of the door and walked down to the bed and sat next to his mother. “You’re not doing anything, Adonis. I’m the one who’s doing it, I’ve nothing to lose, but I’m not going to watch my son’s right get taken from him by a new sibling who has no idea how this family has been.” Gina retorted, she wanted a go ahead from Adonis before she began implementing her plans. She already schemed it, all that remained was implementation. “Still, I’m not yet ready for that, your plan should be our last resort, I can still fix this mum, give me another chance.” Adonis probed, bowing his head to the ground, while he sat on the bed. He had no idea what he wanted to do though. But he wasn’t ready for Gina’s plan. He hadn’t even met this step brother of his, maybe it was high time he met him, confronted him and showed him that he was the one in charge here and would become the he

Laurel didn’t expect something like that, what was going on? So many negative things were happening just when she started dating this man and it made it seem like she made the wrong choice. She held the cell phone to her ear but no words could come out of her mouth as it stayed agape. “Are you still there?” Tony spoke again after some seconds, Laurel might be aware of his grandmother through Lilian. If they were really best friends, they’d tell each other everything. “Ye ... .ye ... .yes i am, I’m just so speechless right now,” Laurel stuttered, her voice wasn’t like it was earlier.It sounded weak and tearful now. Tony must be going through a lot as they spoke, but then he wanted her to be in attendance of the burial and there was no way she could refuse even though she didn’t want to meet people yet. “That’s why I wanted to tell you physically, but it’s alright, she died peacefully in her sleep, that’s what they told me. It means it was her time to go,” Tony sniffed as he spoke

Lilian wasn’t surprised to hear her mother say such a thing, she continued looking away while she thought about it. Sincerely, it seemed like a good idea, a perfect one at that. The fact that she tortured her mother with her decisions was not making her very happy, she just had no choice but to make those decisions.. Allowing Katerina take care of the child was the best consolation she could offer, but she was scared. Unable to trust her mother with the child due to her likeness for Tony, Katerina might go ahead and tell Tony about the child and then it’d all be back to square one. She sighed, and allowed her eyes to meet her mother’s as she tilted her head to face her. “Promise you won’t tell Tony about this child, mother.” Katerina heaved a huge sigh of relief and embraced her daughter without answering the question yet, she was really glad that Lilian gave her this opportunity. “I want my grandchild, Lilian. If that’s the condition of me having him, then I concur,” Katerina whi
