“What do you mean?” Amanda snapped him out of his thought.“I think the test and scan need to be done again. I mean, there is an eighty percent (80%) chance that you are not pregnant.” He said firmly.The system must have connected when he held her hand and her pulse was read immediately, no doubt, Amanda’s pregnancy may be fake.“I don’t know what you are saying though but I also have my doubt.” She agreed with him, notwithstanding, even though she wasn’t pleased being around him.“Follow me,” Richester instructed.The entire patients in the hospital had smiles on their faces and they were all holding, teddies, flowers, and chocolates. Raymond, Seven, and some nurses had succeeded in distributing Richester’s present to the patient. Everyone was excited and happy because he was generous.Richester and Amanda came out from the rooftop exit and crossed paths with Stanley, he was licking the chocolate gift and was about to head downstairs.“Rich!” He called with a nervous smile.“Oh hey.
“What I did can only calm the situation for a while, you have to get ahead of her.” Damien paced in the bedroom. “If Mother disowns you, then we are done for.” He panicked.“Then, what should I do?” Stella bit her lips, looking extremely worried. “What do you want me to do? I can’t even look her in the face because I deliberately abandoned her in jail. I was greedy to own all her wealth but look at me, she is always good at her games.” She laughed at herself in pain.“I have an idea but I don’t know if you will be interested.” Damien’s voice suddenly went low and mischievous.She adjusted closer to him. “What’s that?” Her eyes were wide open. “I’m willing to do anything as long as it can keep Mother happy.” She said, nodding her head continuously.“why not buy her an estate or a new car? I mean her birthday is coming and she needs to be lavished with gifts and cash, if you could do all these to make her happy then I think she will be kind enough to forgive her only daughter.” Damien r
“Master, Your grandma collapsed.” Richester’s phone slipped away from his hand as soon as he heard the news.His eyes sank and his facial expression changed drastically. He grabbed his car keys from his desk and rushed out of his office.He collided with Stanley in the hallway.“Doctor Rich, is everything okay?” Stanley asked anxiously.“Not really, Madam Pia fainted.” He said with a weary voice.“What? Which ward is she? Are you in charge of her treatment?” He asked cryptically and Richester shook his head.“No, she can only be treated specially at home.” Seeing that the discussion wasn’t as important as his grandmother’s life, he rushed out of the hospital.After living in shame throughout his life, he finally met one of his family members and now her life was in danger. He wasn’t satisfied and would do anything to save his only family.She might be strict, too bold, and authoritative but he loved the fact that she accommodated and gave him his inheritance without being greedy, she
Stanley shook his head as he searched through for the test result, across him was Amanda who sat down comfortably, looking unbothered.“I’m sorry for last time, I got faster than myself.” He pressed his lips against the other as he gave the medical report to her.“So, I’m not pregnant, huh?” She wiggled her brow with sarcasm lingering in his voice and he nodded.“Yeah, I think I made the mistake of switching your report with another patient.” He explained rashly.“That tells it all.” She quickly glanced through the report before closing it, she looked at him. “I was wondering who the father was.” She teased him and he laughed.“Well - -” His gaze became restless for a while then he cleared his throat. “That’s all for today. Have a nice day.” He said conclusively but she wasn’t making any attempt of standing.She seemed glued to his seat.“Anything?” He raised a brow, staring at her anxiously.“Nothing actually - -” Her eyes wandered in his office briefly. “I don’t seem to see Doctor R
“Congratulations, Mr. Richester. You have made Madam Harriet’s celebration worth it.” A young man shook his hand with a smile on his face, and he nodded.Richester walked to the vast yard with Damien and Trevor, the party was gradually concluding. He was preparing to leave.“Thank you so much for what you did for my mother-in-law.” Damien broke the silence as they walked over to the neon blue Vendza car that Raymond had brought over.“It’s nothing.” He smirked.Because of what he had done, he had gotten more than one thousand people who promise to invest in the hospital and new contacts. It was exactly what he wanted and the gift he gave to his ex-mother-in-law was worth it.“Mr. Trevor, can we meet again?” Richester faced him.“Oh?” Trevor raised a surprised brow as though he wasn’t expecting such a statement.“I mean, do you live around? Where do you work?” He suddenly got anxious to know about“I just moved into the States and haven’t gotten a place yet. I stay at CQ Hotel and I’m
“I don’t care what you would say at this point but I swear, I’m going to take charge of her medical diagnosis.” Richester refused to leave the operation room.Stanley was trying to explain to him that since he was romantically involved with Amanda, he wasn’t allowed to take care of her health need. But he was keen on doing what he wanted to do because he felt he would give her maximum concentration and care rather than being emotional.“You can’t do this, Doctor Richester. It’s against the doctoring code, have you forgotten?” Stanley raised a brow.“Darn!” He punched the wall. “How did this happen? I thought she was with you earlier. What happened to her?” He was curious, scared, and worried. He has never been so desperate and confused in his life.He could only watch the operation through the transparent glass but he wasn’t allowed to step in. Stanley made sure some prominent doctors took up Amanda’s case to relieve his fear.“It could be something worse than pregnancy,” Stanley mumb
“Congratulations, Madam Harriet. For your first try, you have impressed me.” Charles, the man that bailed her from the prison after she had agreed to his deal said happily. She was sitting across from him with her eyes fixed on the document in her hands.“It’s nothing compared to what you have done for me, sir.” She chuckled.“I’m in a good mood. Is there anything you want? Tell me and I will make it come to pass.” He assured her seriously.“Thank you so much, sir.” She rubbed her chin. “In as much as he gifted me on my birthday, he disgraced me which I’m not comfortable with.” She mumbled. “I want him to return to square one and taste the bitter feelings of what he gave to me. In other words, I don’t want to see him being comfortable.” She said seriously and Charles nodded.“Your wish will be granted before 48 hours.” He said seriously. “Meanwhile, cheers to more success.” He lifted his glass in the air and she hit it with her glass, they laughed heartily.Damien was about to start hi
The bold crafted letters were plastered on a duplex building “Befinance Investment Firm”, it was a small investment company who has one of the largest stock streams yet its sponsor or source was left unknown. They mostly do business with companies rather than individuals.Stella took a last look at the environment before entering the building. The last time she came with Damien, she had a change of heart not because she never wanted the loan but because she wanted to do it behind Damien’s back. To her, it was an embarrassment to request a loan in the presence of her husband.Unbeknownst to her, that was exactly what Damien wanted.She knocked at the door and was asked to come in immediately, she exhaled and entered the office.It was a small office, a brown desk filled with files and documents on it, there was a nameplate having “CEO Harold”. Aside from that, there were long comfy couches beside the wall, and in between the couches was a center table with a vase flower on it.Stella pr
