Richard and Asher both stopped but did not look at the woman."Are you very hungry?" She asked Richard asked his brother seriously ignoring what she was saying.He treated her like she was air."Yes, I didn't have a chance to take lunch," Asher replied getting what his brother was doing."Okay. Let's go eat and rest, we will return again tomorrow," Richard said and took two steps towards the door."Please, please I beg you.If you take that money, my mother will die.I will tell the truth.Anything you want to know," the woman shouted with all her bravery gone.She was not the composed woman of a few minutes ago who was wearing a courageous facade."Talk," Richard said still standing near the door as he turned slowly to face her."My mother.... *sniff, sniff* my mother is very sick.She has been diagnosed with stage two colon cancer and she is bedridden since she can't sit or stand.She needs an urgent surgery and my insurance is not enough to cover her.I told it to my director, Ian

47.At work, Macy had been given a two day's off then Cassy happened and she took more days off to stay with Mel. She had overstayed her off while the others continued working.She was lucky that the investor insisted on having her in the movie.When she resumed, she had a lot of work pending.The director had shot other scenes and hers were remaining and she was thus working day after day morning to evening. It was like binge watching a series for days.This is having in mind that she was the second lead and she had a lot of scenes.Thus, she had gone for almost a week without seeing Mel. Not that she wanted to but the situation waranted it.When Richard got home that evening, he found a sulking Mel at the living room.Nurse Lin was trying to talk to her asking her to eat something.She wasn't saying anything. She just sat there at the corner of the couch just pouting.Anyone could see that she was sulking.Richard was worried for a while because it wasn't like Mel to behave that way

48.Macy stood there disoriented for a while.She didn't know whether she was still dreaming or this was real.She had been very exhausted of late because of shooting scenes after scene from morning to evening.She thus fell in bed immediately after getting to her suite.Never in her wildest dreams did she think that Richard would show up in her house in all his glory."Oh, baby, is it really you?" Macy asked Melvin in a croaky sleepy voice."Did we wake you?" The deep masculine voice asked."Oh, please come in," Macy said coming to.She now realized that this wasn't a dream.Richard and Mel went inside the room as the girls who had come out of a room from the further end of the corridor were standing there looking at that hunk who was carrying a child.They didn't see the owner of the suite as she didn't get out.Macy, after opening the door, stood just before the threshold."Who was that and whose suite is that?" Richard, who had a hearing like a hawk's sight, heard them discussing

49.Macy overslept.She could have sworn that she had set her alarm as always for five o'clock.She did her exercises and morning run for an hour and then came back to take breakfast and get ready and May would pick her up at exactly twenty minutes past seven.They would be at the studio thirty minutes to twenty minutes to time.But this day, she didn't even go for her morning run.She woke up and she realized that it was brighter in the room than it usually was when she woke up.She sat up in bed and tried to remember the events of last night and what day today was.It was....Wait...Richard and Mel...Where are they? She wondered.Then it clicked."Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! I'm late.. The director is going to chew me alive," Macy thought as she shot out of bed.It was at that moment when she was throwing clothes here and there from her closet looking for something to wear did the bedroom door open."Auntie, you are awake? Good morning?" Mel greeted as she picked the clothed Macy had thrown

50."What will you wear today? Or should we call nurse Lin to send someone to bring you two some clothes over?" Macy asked as they ate breakfast."Daddy already brought clothes for us," Mel said as she rolled bacon on her sausage."What are you doing?" Macy asked her as she watched Mel with amusement as she struggled with her small hands."Auntie, have you ever tried wrapping your sausage in bacon? It's delicious. Try this," Mel said as she gave Macy the one she had already wrapped to bite.Macy did and she thought she would lie to Mel but it was actually delicious."Mmm... this is actually good," she said as she ate.Thet ate in a happy harmonious mood while talking about this and that and for the first time in a long time, Richard felt the warmth of family.He was getting used to having Macy around and he was scared. He was scared that he was getting way too attached as he had promised himself that he wouldn't.After Cassandra, Richard had decided to focus on being a President to hi

51.There was tension and excitement all over the room as people waited.They even started betting on what kind of a person would walk in and Macy had to kiss."What if it's a waiter?" one asked."A waiter would be okay," another answered."But I'm thinking, what if it's a beggar?Imagine someone who never brushes their teeth and is dirty and smelly," another joked as she laughed loudly."I would rather kiss my fellow girl than a beggar," a girl that was in the support casts said with a look of disgust. "You are an idiot. This is a five star hotel.What would a beggar be doing here?Do you even think the guards at the main entrance would allow such a person in?" Another countered."It was just a thought," she defended herself."What if the director comes back?Will Macy be able to do it?" Another asked and there was another uproar on the implications of what would happen if that happened."She woukd be lucky to kiss such a person. I go for a waiter or a waitress," the discussion cont

52.Today, Richard had driven an Audi. For all the times Macy had been into Richard's mansion, she had never been to the garage.This was because there was always someone to bring the car over whenever she wanted to go anywhere and there was no need to thus go to the garage.She such didn't know how many cars Richard owned but by the look of it, there must be several.Macy wanted to get into the back seat but she realized that the car only had one door.To get to the back seat, one had to lift the gunshot seat and Macy didn't know how.May opened the front door of the vehicle and crouched to talk to Richard."Boss, could you take care of Macy tonight? I have somewhere to be, please?" May asked and Macy wondered why she needed to be taken care of and she almost spoke but heard Richard's monotone grunt as he accepted May's request."Thank you boss," May said as she stood back up and smiled at Macy."See you on Monday for the photo shoots of the second promotional poster.Take care of yo

53.Macy was just sitting on the bar stool minding her own business and planning on her mind what to tell Richard or how to get out of their lives when she heard a commotion.She turned and saw several girls dressed like wanna be socialites walking towards the bar."Barman, give us the most expensive wine you have," one of them said and Macy lost interest in them.She was here to think and not even such unlearned girls would take her mind off that.The bartender produced a bottle of wine and gave the ladies and gave them some wine glasses."I thought that this club served only high class people.When did they start allowing cheap whores in?" The girl who had asked for the wine asked again.Macy was the target but she didn't hear what the girl had asked because her mind was on other 'more important' things. When they didn't get any reaction from Macy, they were happy and since she wasn't concentrating on them, they wondered how to go about it.They left for upstairs again and Macy ask

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. Sometimes it was random pictures of Macy doing the most regular of things

"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?
