Sitting by the window of her room, Melissa was staring into space, her mind was wavering about. She just couldn't fathom what was going on with her.She was holding a large drawing book and a pencil as she stared outside that evening.It was like there was a void in her that needed to be filled but she had no idea what that was. She was in a state of dilemma.The rather carefree and happy lady has been down lately that her father Mr Ferdinard got concerned.He walked into her room at that moment to check up on his daughter.He has always been concerned about his other daughter Elena who was more of a serious and diligent lady whose sole priority was to deal with business in the company.Thinking that she will never get a boyfriend or live a normal life as she has always been very serious with the company. So Melissa on the other hand, is actually a happy soul who doesn't get depressed ever. She is not to be an optimistic person but for a few days now she has been all alone in a room k
"Oh Melissa, but of course, I was going to come. I understand you feel disappointed but I made a promise to you that I was going to be here soon and that it would be a surprise." Ivan Louison retorted warmly."I have missed you so badly, I…" Melissa said as she sobs."Shh, don't tear up babe, I really do love you." Ivan said as he wiped the tears off her face and then greeted both parents."Welcome son, nice to officially meet you." Mr Ferdinard uttered."The honor is all mine uncle." Ivan Louison retorted humbly."How is everything back home? Your father, that is, is he doing okay?" Mr Ferdinard asked."Yes he is, and he sends his regards." Ivan Louison uttered."Oh how very nice of him… okay go on, I won't keep my daughter waiting, go have fun." Mr Ferdinard replied warmly."Thank you uncle." Ivan Louison uttered and Melissa quickly pulled him towards his room and then they kissed passionately."Ivan, there is something I really need to talk to you about. It's about you and your ex-
Melissa and Ivan, who were in her room, smooching and kissing each other, decided that they needed to go out to get some air. More like on a date so Melissa wasn't about to go out in that same outfit which she dreads, so she immediately got into her walk-in closet and changed her outfit."Wow you look so beautiful I'm honored to have you as my girlfriend." Ivan Louison uttered."Stop teasing me and kindly get up so we get out of this place to clear my head." Melissa retorted."Yes but I don't know the area. Why don't you show me around and then I'll take it to my hotel room, the one I booked." Ivan Louison uttered."That will be amazing. How about we go to your hotel room first and later on or maybe tomorrow we could go around town and have fun babe, because I personally think it's rather too late for dates." Melissa retorted."All right then I'll talk to your Mom and dad while you pack up some clothes as you will be spending the night over at my place." Ivan Louison uttered as he kis
"If you can recall, a young person bumped into me earlier today when we went to the store to get some things done." Dylan uttered."Yes....yes I remember, so what has that got to do with all of this?" Ivan Louison asked."Everything boss, that individual who bumped into me, was one of their men and he he had slipped some note into my pocket. Going through, this is what I found on it, number and the words saying let's meet and we all know that when that happens it means that they already know who I am, where my family is and the fact that I am vulnerable and can be used against you." Dylan said."Really?" He asked."Yes boss, I believe that's the reason why I think they approached me. I don't want to betray you anymore but that was also the reason why I need to give up. I need to commit, suicide so that you will hire someone else who could guard you way more than I ever could. Please boss just let me go, I don't want to betray you again." Dylan uttered."Dylan the reason why I chose yo
Sophia Hills went up to her mother and was surprised to see her, so out of it she walked up to her and touched her shoulders making Leah jolt out of her thoughts and back to reality."What's going on with you, mother?" Sophia asked."As much as I would love for you to get this child, I don't think I can look. I don't think I can do this. You have to return the child to the rightful owner." Leah retorted."No more, I don't want to. I already told you this before. I can't. I need her, she is beautiful, why can't she be mine?" Sophia Hills blurted out in rage."She can be yours only if you give birth to your own child. You need to get married to have a life, don't you want to be a model anymore?" Leah Hills asked."No I don't want to. I can leave my career all for her. I want her she's my daughter, mother. I've told you this before. She isn't someone else's child but mine." Sophia Hills stated vehemently."Honestly I can see how delusional you are becoming." Sophia Hills retorted."Mum,
Two (2) days later Leah decided to call her husband and she had given her daughter enough time to reconsider her actions but she's proving to be stubborn.Leah knew her husband could either be in support of this or not. So her making this decision was to find out where her husband lies in all of this.After two rings, the phone got connected and a happy man on the other side uttered;"Hey honey, I have missed you so much are you guys doing okay over there?" "Honey I have something very important to tell you about, this is about our daughter. She is going on the wrong path. I've been trying to make her see sense but she seems to be way above that. I honestly have had enough of her. I believe we spoiled her way too much." Leah Hills enunciated."What are you talking about? I thought you said it wasn't going to be anything serious and that you guys have discussed it over the phone. What's going on over there, do I need to fly over?" Mr Hills Zayn asked."Your daughter Sophia Hills has g
"I am willing to move mountains for you anywhere anytime, but I am not ready to move the law for you. Listen, it's either you return that child back to it's parents on your knees, begging for them not to sue you or I'll disown you myself." Mr Hills Zayn uttered."Dad please don't do this to me mum wouldn't even allow me to… dad…" Sophia Hills uttered."Give the phone back to your mother. I am done talking to you and I mean it. If you do not return the child back to her parents within a short timeframe, I'll do it myself. And I'll have you jailed. I will not stand for any act of theft or anything against the law from my own family." Mr Hills stated vehemently.Sophia Hills reluctantly gave the phone back to her mother and walked away in rage, she couldn't understand why her parents would not get it. Although deep down she knew they were right but to her at that particular moment they were wrong as all she ever wanted was to have a piece of Maxwell, even if it means kidnapping his child
"Our daughter has proven to be stubborn. She just won't do what we asked of her, like I am tired of her tantrums and I'm coming home. I can't even begin to imagine what she was thinking when she decided to do this." Leah Hills said complaining on her phone to her husband."Just come home so you can take over the management of the firm while I go talk to her about the things she is getting herself into." Mr Hills Zayn uttered.Leah Hills hung up and began packing up her things she needed to go home so as to deal with her client's case.As she was packing up her daughter work then holding a baby and asked;"Mum what are you doing? Are you really leaving me behind? I really need to do this. Just don't go yet. It's too early for you to leave." "I am a very busy person Sophia Hills, and you know that, you know your family has a legal firm to take care of. I thought that coming over here to you, that I'll be able to reason with you but time and again you keep on giving me reasons why I nev
When the steaks got ready, they gathered together to have some.So while they sat, they all began teasing each other and laughing out loud."Ivan, you are all grown-up and you already have a woman by your side, when do you intend to take her to the altar?" Oscar asked as he was actually the only one married amongst all his cousins.He felt he was the only one serious with his life."I am certain after Christmas I will be planning their marriage because I need more grandkids. In other words, a full house." Mrs Carolina Louison uttered and everyone laughed out loud."You heard what her majesty just said, that means there is no running away so the wedding will take place sooner than expected. I cannot refuse a queen's order." Ivan Louison uttered.They all giggled and continued to have fun.Meanwhile, Mark Clark also known as Martins Collins was chattering with his family consisting of his father Mr Clark, his half brother Jeremy, and his family butler, Leon, were seated in a camp site, h
As soon as Ivan walked into their room, she flared up;"Why did you have to hug her? There's no need for that.""Melissa come on okay you're my woman now, no one else. Stop being insecure. She's my ex-wife, yes we got divorced due to her betrayal to me that doesn't mean I want to go back to her. What does hugging have to do with going back to her?" Ivan Louison uttered"It could definitely bring some memories from the past and your body would yearn for hers or something." Melissa retorted."Jeez, my body only yearns for yours now, just stop this whole thing okay? I love you, that's all you need to know." Ivan Louison uttered."I love you too, that's why I don't want to lose you." Melissa retorted and they both hugged each other."Okay since we are engaged now, let's get married." Ivan Louison conveyed."Huh? Really?" Melissa asked surprised."Yes babe, let's make it official, let's get married." Ivan Louison uttered."Hey lover birds, I heard your voices from downstairs. I hope everyt
The gate to Ivan's home opened and their car drove in. They came in just an SUV so as not to give anyone the impression that they were there to wage war as the reason that brought them there was the exact opposite.They were there to make peace and to apologize for every little wrong that has been done so it was a full house and although Ivan was not inside at the moment he went to the supermarket to get some stuff for his woman and asked him to go in anyways, and that he would be there soon.He called his mother and little sister to make sure that everything was in place and that they be treated with respect.It was the holidays after all, and it was the most amazing time of the year to show some humanity.Melissa finally got to meet Linda in person and she found her to be a little attractive, probably more than her but there were some things she had that Linda didn't and vice-versa."Welcome it is nice to meet you. I've heard all about you. Actually you know, you are his first love
The two young men departed after shaking hands and got into their various cars.Bryce called as he wasn't in town to get what was happening and how the meeting went."Talk to me, what really happened, did everything go according to plan?" Bryce asked."Yeah we have the land." Ivan simply said."I would never have thought that you would resolve this with just a little bit of anger and rage from just one man?" Bryce uttered and added; "I guess everything went according to plan, it was a good thing your fiance got kidnapped, else we wouldn't have ownership of those lands at all. I believe when we want you to do something for us, we will have to involve your woman.""Probably… but keep in mind that you won't be as fortunate as Finn Monroe was, because that could literally mean death for you." Ivan Louison uttered.They both chuckled and the call got disconnected.Not long after that the news of his job well done spread out amongst his organization that everyone, both the members in the in
Ivan was actually close to Finn Monroe's house when he heard him say the word 'please' of course he was upset but this could bring more wealth and fame to his organization if he (Finn) was truly being sincere about letting go of some properties that was initially theirs back to them to prevent that from happening."The truth of the matter is I am very much upset that two of your hoodlums laid their filthy hands on my women. Of course I taught them a lesson they will never forget, but for them to be working on your orders means you actually tried to hurt someone that I love which I will not forgive you for that easily." He stated sternly."From the reports you've already destroyed two of my headquarters that should be enough for just a little bruise and your woman. I know it doesn't justify what we do, but I will make it up to you tomorrow. I promise please I have enough on my plate just hear me out tomorrow you and I will meet and discuss these things." Finn Monroe retorted."Very wel
"Talk to me, do you have everything on record? Because we really need to show it to the boss." Morris immediately said.But what happened next was shocking to Morris because he never thought that it would be Ivan who would be answering the call in his subordinate's stead."You must be Morris, the right hand man to Finn, because I am pretty sure such a member of low ranking would not have the real boss's number. I want you to deliver a message to Finn Monroe telling him that I'm coming for him and for everything he holds dear, no one challenges Ivan and goes scot-free, no one." Ivan Louison uttered."Oh please shut up, you are nothing but a wimp all you ever do is hide behind your men and advisers, nothing more, you are a disgrace to all Dons. If I were in your organization I would have plotted to kill you. You are not as ruthless as you claim to be." Morris uttered."Of course I do not claim to be ruthless. I am ruthless, and just so you know, I have people even in your organization.
Everyone was introduced to each other upon their arrival that evening.Jane got to meet Ivan and they both got along just fine because it was something he had always wanted to have a happy and full home.Although he was yet to meet Oscar, from the pictures they took at Jane's graduation day, he got to see his face.They both looked alike and it was evident that they were both related.That evening while on the dining table, waiting for meals to be served, Mrs Carolina Louison uttered;"It's so good to have you back. I have missed you so much my dear boy.""I've missed you too mum and this is my beautiful fiancee. She came with me to spend the holidays with the family. I know you are happy that I brought her with me." Ivan Louison uttered."Of course son, if you hadn't, I would have sent you packing and I mean it. You know how much I have always wanted a full house." Mrs Carolina Louison retorted."Thank you so much mum for everything you have done for me. I appreciate you for loving m
Finn was asked to enter the house and after which he was led to the sitting room and offered a seat."It came to our notice that you are here to talk about your girlfriend Sophia because from what we know she has no man." Maxwell Shawn uttered."Well she does and I am someone who she relies upon to bring her out of that place." Finn Monroe retorted."So if it is about you being able to help her how come you are not there doing that why are you here?" Linda Pierre asked skeptically."I have spent a lot of money on this case, but it is not forthcoming… her freedom that is, because to be honest I wouldn't lie to you I really need her out of there it was her fault, yes but please give her a chance." Finn Monroe retorted."I know she is remorseful but it is way out of our hands now. The people involved are the ones carrying it up now." Linda Pierre stated."Please just help me out here because I really need her out of jail. I'll give you anything you want, anything you ask for. Be it compa
***Some few days ago****Finn was busy patiently waiting for Sophia to come out of jail he really needed to see the woman he loves, the issue on ground was too much for them to bear and since her parents were not interested in helping her out in any way he needed to make sure that she comes out of jail in one piece and for him to do that he needs to see those who make complaints against Sophia Hills.It wasn't going to be an easy task as he doesn't know how to act in a calm manner. All he ever does is yell and give orders but to ask them to drop the case he would need to be more calm and tolerant.As he knows yelling at them wouldn't help in any way, rather it would intensify issues.Watching his woman being brought out of jail to visit him was painful but it was better than not seeing each other at all."Hi Sophia, how have you been? What's really going on? Have they been treating you right, what's with all those bruises?" Finn Monroe asked, staring at Sophia.It turns out that Sophi
