103. “So, it wasn't a dream? It was all real?" Macy asked as she sat on the bed.Joey was done examining her and he had concluded that she was alright.They had both been surprised that they had been talking for two hours and that's why they hadn't even thought of looking in on her.But Macy was a fighter and no sickness has ever been able to put her down.“No. It wasn't a dream," Richard answered as he held her hand.Macy looked at the interconnected palms and felt strange.When Richard first asked her to be with him, she would never have thought that they have more together than Mel and the love she had tried to deny because she wasn't pure, according to her standards.But who would have ever thought that she fell in love with the same man who took her first?She couldn't believe it and she had been so shocked that she ran a fever but she was okay now.“Yo, Rich…” Joey called with a smile that told Richard that he wasn't going anywhere and wanted an intro."Don't you have anywhere t

104. Macy looked at the caller ID and it was a new number. A number she hadn't saved in her phone book and she didn't answer.Richard didn't say anything as he looked at her and continued holding her had playing with her fingers.“So, have they been located? Maxwell, that is," Macy asked to break the tension she could feel brewing between them.She knew that Richard felt guilty for her breakdown but she wanted him to know that it wasn't any fault of his. “It wasn't your fault you know," Macy said looking at him kindly.He seemed lost in thought as he hadn't even answered hernqiestion yet.“What? Oh, sorry. Cash is still looking for them but he tells me he's on their trail. I am trying to think who might be helping them,” Richard said because something didn't feel quite right.He knew that Maxwell was just a doctor and even if he had money, it wasn't to such an extent that he could hide.Thay would only mean that someone was helping them hide. Someone who either didn't know that the c

105. Macy rode to the address and it took her roughly forty minutes and that meant that she was there before time. She had a few minutes to spare but what meant that she had time to survey the property and maybe get a hang of it.The address she had been given was an abandoned factory. It looked like it was once a paper factory since there was a lot of empty pulp drums lying around empty and all dried up.She went inside the old and dirty premises and it was all quiet.The only sound she could hear was the sound of her boots connecting with the floor softly.She knew the silent foot and she thus walked silently and she could only hear the sound of the boots because she had a trained ear.The silent foot was where one would walk silently no matter the size of their feet or the type of shoes one was wearing. It called for one lightening their legs and making the torso carry most of the weight.This is achieved by bending outwards at an angle of seventy five degrees and then projecting t

106. “... and then, to make sure that your enemy is intimidated enough, you have to have the safety off at least and then cock it," she said that as she demonstrated.By doing that, she was able to tell that it was loaded.“Did you get it?" She asked the man who still seemed dazed and then turned as to the only woman in the group was sneaking up on her.Macy lifted her right foot and hit her at the chin and that had her mouth gawk and then she dropped with a thud out cold.They all looked at the unconscious girl and then at Macy in awe including Angela.“How? You… ho…” Angela couldn't find the words she wanted to say."If we were close, I could have told you that I am a black belt in karate,” Macy said and Angela gawked. You… you said that she was just a girl and that we would be able to subdue her! What's this now?” The man who had led her to the room asked Angela and he seemed angry."I thought she was. Who could have guessed that she knew how to use a gun or fight?” Angela was get

107. “She's a bad ass, don't you think?" Richard smiled as he said to Cash who looked at him as if he had lost his mind.When Macy left the villa, the people put in place to watch the place obviously called the big boss and I formed him that she had left.Richard had it in place secret agents to watch over the place for the security of his family but never in a million years would he have thought that the woman who had just run a fever for a whole night would have the energy to leave the villa.The men followed her as they were told and May, who was keeping an eye on Angela, knew that she had left her hideout and decided to go check where she was going.May knew that Angela had something planned when she saw her drive with a taci out of the city into an abandoned factory where there were no signs of any life.May watched as the gang walked in and she decided to wait and see what she was planning and one can imagine May's shock when she saw her boss's wife ride in, in an expensive moto

108. “Stay in the car if you don't want me to get mad," Richard hissed when Macy decided to get out and try shooting him since he had been standing there smoking for the past thirty or so minutes.She didn't understand why she cared so much about Richard but she did. She loathed the idea that she had made him angry. Maybe I should go and try talking to him.She had thought and that's when he had asked her, not so politely, to get back.But why is he so angry?That was the question she couldn't answer.However, she didn't understand why he got so mad. Wasn't she okay?Richard, on his hand, was seething. He didn't understand why Macy would court danger. They had already agreed that they would face everything together but she had gone head first into danger without even telling him.He crushed his sixth stick and then sighed heavily.What was worse was that he couldn't even get mad at her. This was the first time he felt this way about a woman. He didn't understand it and all he knew wa

109. Macy sat on the couch and leaned back. She was tired.She closed her eyes with a heavy sigh because her heart and body were both tired and Richard noticed.“There is a bed here and you can rest as you wait for me,” he said and she shook her head.Since she came to DC, she had been used to being alone but in the last several months, Richard and Mel had become a part of her life and all she wanted was to be alone when she was feeling so down.She wasn't even used to talikh to anyone about her problems and she thus couldn't even tell Richard what she did as feeling.Richard on his side was still afraid of what could have happened to her if she didn't know how to fight or is she had met professional assassins.His heart was in turmoil and since he could ground a grown woman, he decided to shadow her.She wouldn't leave her alone.Him, like her, was used to dealing with his issues alone and he rarely talked to anyone and he thus wondered how to tell her about his fears.He was in the

110. They had fallen asleep together after a lot of sexercise and it had been long since Macy was that tired.She didn't even notice Richard finish because he went at it like a starved stallion and she had decided to indulge him and after he was done, she felt a cold sensation as he cleaned her body with a wet towel.She had then felt him get into bed next to her and raise her head and she had been lying on his chest.They were startled by the ringing of his phone and Macy sat upright disoriented for a while.What? Where? Oh, hey, your phone is ringing,she said as she laid back again.Macy had been used to such situations when she was still working for Lion and when she was still in China.She was a spy and a soldier in their underground army and she could thus get calls any time of the day or night calling her for a mission.Old habits die hard so they say.Richard groaned and picked the phone as he pulled her with his free hand and made her lie on his chest."Hello?"He looked at the

128. By the time Richard and Macy were done with entertaining the guests, time was far much spent.They thus decided to retire to their room and then leave for their honeymoon the next morning. Richard carried Macy across the threshold as was traditionally unacceptable for a groom to let his wife to enter the door walking in her first day as a wedded wife.Macy was so happy that she felt as if whatever she had going through was being compensated. By the time Richard was placing her on the bed that had been decorated with red roses, her ribs were tired from all the laughing.She was happy.She had two children and a man who adored her. She could not ask for more. “Do you want to take a bath first?” Richard asked her after helping her take off the high heeled shoes she had been wearing.“Yes. I will go first,” she told him.“Okay. I will help you prepare the bathtub," he offered."No. That's okay. I want to have a shower because I am tired. I just want to lay down,” she said and he n

127. The moment was intimate and all Richard could see was Macy. He didn't want to think of everyone gathered in the hall because he hated crowds and the reason why he did all this was for her.Another reason he held this wedding on an island was to make sure that not many people attended.The air was charged with excitement as those gathered waited to hear what Richard would say. Some wondered if it would be as heart touching as Macy's or if it would be blunt. As Richard took a deep breath, the crowd fell silent, anticipation hanging in the air. He turned to Macey, her eyes sparkling with joy, and began to speak the words he had carefully crafted in his heart. “Macy,” he started, his voice steady yet brimming with emotion, “from the moment I met you, I knew you were the one I wanted to spend my life with. You are my rock, my confidante, and my greatest adventure. With you, I have found a love that I never knew existed.”Tears glimmered in Macey’s eyes as Richard continued, recountin

Please find it in your heart to forgive us," Mrs Phillips said and Macy just stood there both embarrassed and angry.She wondered why they had to make a scene even though she had allowed them in.“We are also thankful that you allowed us to your wedding. Thank you so much darling," her father added.“Just sit and let us continue," Macy said feeling all embarrassed because there were other people in the hall who weren't family and although it wasn't a secret now after the live broadcast of Angela washing her dirty linen in public that these people had neglected their own daughter and nurtured the one who had killed their own son, she wasn't ready to deal with them.This was supposed to be her day and not theirs.“No, darling. We won't sit unless you say that you have forgiven us," her mother, Mrs Phillips, said and she sighed.“You do realise that today is supposed to be about me and not you, right?" Macy asked the two wh

125. Macy couldn't believe that this day was here. All her life ever since she found out that she had slept with a stranger and got pregnant, she never thought that she would ever get a man to love her but here she was.Not only did this man love her but was also the father of her child-ren.She followed Richard's footsteps until they came to the raised dais where her brother, Asher, May, Mel and Jared were standing.For the first time ever, Macy got to see May in a flowing dress.She had always seen May with leather pants or jeans pants and leather jackets. But now, she really looked like a girl.Macy stood on the left side of Richard where she was directed and they faced the people.She hadn't gotten the time to look at this place since they obviously had got there at night and she hadn't gone around since, well, she was getting ready for this.The hall wasn't as big and she even didn't know that they were on an island but she felt the waves hit rocks and she, at first, thought that

124. Life is a blessing and we only have one of it. In this life, we have plenty of challenges and heartbreaking events that we at times feel like we won't be able to move on from but as long as we have theones we love right beside us it makes it all worth it.One of life's gifts is finding someone you can share the rest of your life with, someone who will be there for you through thick and thin and love you for who you arenot what you have.Richard had found such a person who was currently lying in his arms. He wanted nothing more but to spend the rest of his life with this woman and no one else. As he lay on the bed his gaze lingered on Macy with a hard to describe smile on his face. He couldn't believe that he had been this lucky.He also smiled when he remembered when he was drugged by his brother. He almost killed his brother but now, he was happy and he would even reward Asher with the latest Tesla that he had been asking for.They had arrived at his uncle's villa on the Indi

123. “Mom, hurry up, we have to leave," Mel hurried her mother who was still getting ready. It wasn't that Macy wasn't ready it was just that she had just been informed by her man that they were leaving in an hour's time and they were going for a vacation. “What should I carry? Why didn't you tell me at least yesterday and I would have gotten ready!" She had complained wondering where to start. “Don't worry about that. It was a surprise and we already packed for you. All we want is for you to go with us," he has said and the children had beamed. “Yes ma, just wear something and let's leave. This will be my first vacation with my real family," Jared had urged and that was how Macy had found herself getting ready and now, she was wondering what to wear because she had even forgotten to ask where they were going. “Where are we going again? What do I wear?" She shouted from her bedroom and Richard shouted back, “just wear anything. One of those cute dresses of yours.” "Yes mama. The

122. Since Macy said yes to marrying Richard and they got their boy back, Richard had become like Macy's second cloth.He would be wherever she was and if he wasn't lying on her if she was sitting, he would be touching her here and there provided he could feel her.He even spent his days in the studio watching her film but Macy didn't mind although people started talking.For the first time, the mysterious first son of the Armstrong family started showing up in public.This clingy behaviour went on for a month though it wasn't as severe as before. He stopped following a lot but he would casually send cute texts and pictures whenever they were apart.All of a sudden, the ice cube who had no social media accounts created them and shared with the world that he was the happiest man alive.His IG moments were always filled with things like 'My Beautiful fiancè made me breakfast today #inlove' followed by a picture.

"A wedding?" Ash asked, low-set ginger brows furrowing even deeper."Why so fast?" He shouted this time."A wedding," Richard said with a slow grin,and a collective set of gasps filled theair. "I'm gonna marry her on the thirtyfirst this month. I want to belong to her, legally. I want to say those vows you see in movies, to give her not just my mind and body and heart, but the very essence of my soul. I want to give it all since I'm in this relationship for the forever haul.""Er, a-a-actually, uh," Kyle stammered, looking flustered, "well, um... y-yeah,we could do that. But don't you think that we could give my sister some time to prepare? She is a girl and they tend to want everything to be meticulous," he said and they all looked at him.Dinner had been eaten and now, then men were in the pool room playing pool whole the women were somewhete catching up.Richard had just dropped the bomb that he wanted to marry Macy by the end of the month which was like a week and a few day
