Renee, the next day, drives to her father's house, unexpectedly to her father."You looked worried daughter, what must have been the problem?" Mr Liam asked her." Father, isn't it the right time I accepted divorcing Lucas? I do not love him." She said, sitting with their legs on each other." What do you mean by that?" Mr Liam asked her, bringing down his glass." Father, mother" she looked at both of them. And added," Please, I don't want to keep him any longer, I don't love him." She spoke." Do you know what you are doing, divorcing the source of our income?" Isabella asked Renee, pointing at her." Mother, I hope you fell in love with my father unconditionally, which is the reason why you have both lasted as a couple. Why force me into what I am not ready for and don't have feelings for? I do not love Lucas," Renee spoke." Try to understand with us, we are not caging you into what we do not know about, rather building a brighter future for you,." Isabella explained the family's
" What has gone wrong with you Renee, you have decided to run down the business." Mr Liam said to Renee furiously." You don't decide for me father, it is my life." Renee replied. This got Mr Liam pissed off, he raised his hands and about slapping Mr Liam, when Isabella held his hands. " No…" she screamed. " Darling, what are you trying to do.?" Isabella asked aggressively." You should speak to your daughter, else I will teach her the lesson of her life." He reacted angrily, and went back to the sofa he was sitting on. " Isn't this selfishness.?" She shouted at him."Daughter stop it, he is your father." Isabella reacted standing.Renee, unable to calm herself, left the house immediately." You should ask sense into your daughter, she should have know that we are doing this for her benefit." Mr Liam added." We should be Happy that she is not getting married to that church rat, but a Billionaire. Isn't that enough to build the business high,and connection as well." Isabella speaks to
While Lucas was on his way, his phone rang, he stretched his hand and took it out of his pocket. " I have his money." He said to himself, seeing it was Mr Benjamin's mobile number. Lucas pressed the green button, then answered." You are lucky that I did not lay your hands on you," Benjamin told him."I'm sorry, Mr Benjamin, it wasn't my fault to not have paid you before now." Lucas paused and continued, with confidence." I have your money now." He said to her," Hahahahah." Mr Benjamin laughed as he mocked Lucas on the phone." What money, the one you were unable to pay for over three months, how do you raise it in just a few hours?" Mr Benjamin asked him. " Don't worry Mr Benjamin, I will transfer it to your account." Lucas answered smiling." Her fiancé has paid off your debt." Lucas muttered, wondering who Mr Benjamin was referring to." Who exactly is that?" Lucas asked." She introduced Xavier as her fiancé, bringing to my notice that she had divorced him," Mr Benjamin added.
Lucas stepped down from the car, stood behind it and examined the field." This must be a good place to set up my business." Lucas spoke to Jonathan with his hands on his chest." I don't think you know what you have just said," Jonathan told him, smiling. " Nevertheless, you are known as the best cook. I pray Norah allows you to do that." Jonathan added.Meanwhile, Norah, on entering her compound, realized that Jonathan wasn't around." Where is Jonathan and my car.?" Norah, stepping down from the car, asked her security man." He left the house with Mr Lucas a few hours ago," he answered.Norah got her phone and dialed Lucas' number. Lucas imagined how well he could do his business. He heard his phone ring. " Oh, Norah is calling.!" He exclaimed as he told Jonathan.Lucas immediately pressed the green button." Hello, darling! Lucas romantically asked Norah after he had picked her call."I'm fine," she answered and said. " Where are you? Please come over." " I'm just behind you." H
" Lucas, I love you." Norah sounded, romantically to him, with her hands on the door, awaiting Lucas to get the door opened.Lucas went slowly down and sat on the floor, with the door still closed while Norah laid her head on the door." Norah I…" Lucas, expressing his love for Norah, when he remembered his past with Renee and paused. " I know you love me Lucas, please open the door,"" I promise to love you with all of my heart," Norah promised him, awaiting his response." Please, I don't want to love again." Lucas cried out. " Yes, I love you, but am scared not to be hurt again." He breathed down, summoned courage, and opened the door. They both grabbed each other, with eyes full of love." This can't be hidden any longer", Lucas, holding Norah's hands, said to her." You are more than a billionaire wealthy man to me. It's the joy of my life, and the strength in me." Norah spoke to him, placing her finger in between the center of his heart."I have tried all I could not to fall in
Thomas became more anxious to know who was Norah having such an exciting moment, this made him visit Mr Williams office." Can I speak with your boss.?" He asked the receptionist, as he stood with his hat on his head and with a stick of cigarette. " He is having a meeting right now, he had asked me not to allow any one in." Mr Williams' secretary replied to him." That shit." Thomas answered, he didn't care but rather ignored Mr Williams secretary as he made his way to Mr Williams office. Mr William was shocked seeing Thomas in his office, and why was he permitted by his secretary. " I don't care what the hell you hold here as a meeting, I am here for an explanation." Thomas with a sad look said to Mr Williams, who was yet to conclude a business transaction with his colleague when Thomas barged in. " What is the meaning of this, Alexa, don't I gave you instructions not to allow anyone into my office at the moment, until i am done with the meeting.?" Mr William, asking Alexa his secr
It wasn't easy for Luna to accept what Norah had just told him, about protecting him. He argued with her even down to the sitting room, looking unpleasant with it." You have yet to understand that I am doing this for you. Am Norah and Renee, whatever makes you feel that I would humiliate or make you unhappy shouldn't go through your mind." " I promise from the deepest of my heart, to make you happy, Believe me, and believe in what I have told you, I will do my best for you." Norah promised him, she drew more closer to Lucas and with her mouth closer to his lips as she thought of giving Lucas a kiss." I love you.!" Lucas said to her, eyeball to eyeball. And kissed Norah's mouth right in the sitting room. Though he had a little relief from what he had heard, Norah discussed it with her father.Two days later, Norah got a message from her father.She disclosed that to Lucas." I will miss you for the few days you will be absent, I wish to go with you." He said to her," I promised not t
The next day, after breakfast, Norah decides to give Thomas a surprise visit in his office.She drove into his company and headed to the secretary's office, but she wasn't sitting at the moment." Where has she gone to.?" Norah asked herself. " I will have to wait,it is better for things to be done properly." Norah said within herself, as she sat at the reception waiting. For about thirty minutes, Thomas' secretary hadn't arrived." She might have been sacked by the rude Thomas. Who would like to work with such an arrogant boss? " she asked herself. " I think he is the secretary himself." She concluded. " I can't wait any longer, I wanted to give him a surprise visit but the situation made me want to call him." She answered herself. Norah, about dialing Thomas' number when she had another thought to take him by surprise."Better to take him by surprise." Norah, sounded silently. And stood from her chair, walking towards Thomas office, she heard a cumming from his office." What am I h
"Finally, we have won at last. I have made my revenge, and thus called for celebration," said Lucas as he looked at Norah and all he had achieved so far.The victory party was a grand affair. The hall was adorned with shimmering lights and vibrant decorations, reflecting the joy and triumph of the occasion. Friends and allies gathered, their faces beaming with pride and happiness. Music filled the air, a lively tune that had everyone tapping their feet and swaying to the rhythm.Lucas stood at the center, receiving congratulations and heartfelt words from those who had supported him. Norah, by his side, couldn't help but smile, her eyes shining with admiration and love. The tables were laden with a feast fit for royalty, with dishes from every corner of the land, each more delicious than the last.As the night progressed, stories of bravery and camaraderie were shared, laughter echoed through the hall, and the bond between the celebrants grew stronger. Lucas raised a toast, his voice f
Roxanne felt a deep sense of dread as she discussed leaving the country with Rebecca. "Our husbands have been held, and our children too," Rebecca said, her voice trembling. "And you want to flee the country?"Roxanne sighed, her eyes filled with tears. "What do you expect from Lucas, whom you and I have treated badly?" she replied. "He has to do something about it."Rebecca shook her head. "Lucas is our only hope now. We need to trust him."Days passed, and the situation grew more dire. The streets were filled with chaos, and the sound of gunfire echoed through the night. Roxanne knew she had to make a decision. One night, under the cover of darkness, she packed her belongings and left a note for Lucas. She couldn't bear to say goodbye in person.As she crossed the border, her heart ached with the weight of leaving her family behind. She knew Lucas would search for her, but she hoped he would understand why she had to go.Lucas, upon finding the note, felt a mix of anger and determin
---Anna stood in the bustling airport, her heart pounding in her chest. She had come to pick up her friend Norah, but fate had other plans. As she scanned the crowd, her eyes locked onto a familiar face. It was him—James, the father of her child, the man who had left her years ago.James looked different, more mature, but there was no mistaking those eyes. He seemed equally stunned, his gaze fixed on Anna. She had changed too. She was no longer the young, uncertain girl he had left behind. She was a confident, beautiful woman, and he couldn't help but admire her.As they walked towards each other, the noise of the airport faded into the background. They stopped a few feet apart, the air thick with unspoken words. James was the first to break the silence."Anna," he said, his voice filled with emotion. "You look amazing.""James," she replied, her voice steady despite the whirlwind of feelings inside her. "It's been a long time."He nodded, his eyes never leaving hers. "Too long. I...
"I don't think it will be necessary if we keep going in this manner. This group of individuals has a high reputation and will do anything in their power to hold you down, Lucas. Meanwhile, the only thing to consider is your sincerity. You can't continue to be hurt daily. I suggest you look for a solution quickly," Xavier spoke to him."Whatever has made them regard me this way must have come from their collective idea and nothing more than that. I think that's where it should be considered necessary as well," Lucas replied."Yes, that's where we should focus more," Xavier agreed.Lucas met with his lawyer, Ms. Jessica, over the case against him. This time, she approached the courtroom with compelling reasons that proved Lucas's innocence. She presented new evidence and testimonies that dismantled the accusations against him. The judge and jury listened intently as Ms. Jessica laid out the facts, showing that Lucas had been wrongfully accused. Her arguments were clear and persuasive, l
"All I see in this is the act of jealousy," Lucas said to Ms. Jessica, his lawyer, as he sat with Xavier, speaking right in front of her. "I think what you need to know is that we are fighting multiple wars, and this could be the last. How they came to team up against you is something I can't really comprehend, but I think there's much more to this as well.""Yes, there is much more to this, as you have said, which is why I need to be careful. I have done that with everything in me. We need to confront one of the business partners," she said to him."Who on earth among them will give me the actual reason for fighting me? Is it the association or the IT head as well? I'm just confused, Ms. Jessica," Lucas breathed out.Ms. Jessica nodded thoughtfully. "We need to approach this strategically. Let's start by meeting with the association head. He might have some answers."Xavier, who had been listening quietly, finally spoke up. "I agree with Jessica. We need to get to the bottom of this.
"Deniel, who must have paid you to hurt me and cause me tears?" Lucas asked, catching the vibe of the situation."No one paid me, Lucas. The truth remains that we had a deal," Deniel replied."What deal is that? When on Earth did I know you? I have no business with you. Why must you go this far to blaspheme me?" Lucas added.Deniel laughed. "Hahahahaha. You think you are the most intelligent businessman. The same man who treated me, Liam, and the Dickson family like a mess. You think you won't have to share what you have done?" he asked Lucas.Lucas stood looking at him, even as the whole world started believing Deniel. Unknown to Deniel, Lucas had a little recorder in his pocket connected to the officer outside. The conversation was ongoing."Now listen to me. You can only be free from this if you release the one under your custody. That's the only way I will release you," Deniel said."Please, I am ready to do everything in my power to release them. I have seen that you are stronger
“I don’t really get it. Lucas involved in fraud. Do you know what that means? The great shock it has caused me as well,” Lucas said to Mr. Williams. “We need to do something fast about it, unless we lose it all. But I still don’t believe you, Lucas,” Mr. Williams replied.“I don’t understand you, Mr. Williams,” Lucas said as Norah walked in.“Lucas, what is going on? I thought you had inherited all that your father made for you. Why are you involved in fraud?” she asked him.“Norah, are you the one saying this to me? The same Norah that promised to fight the challenge with me?” Lucas asked her.“I have made deep research on this. There is no difference from this. It all contains your signature and name, even the date and time. Everything you did illegally,” she paused and began to sob. “I thought you were responsible. That was why I had kids with you. I didn’t know you were a pretender.”“Norah, what has gotten into you? Do you know that it is your husband, Lucas, you are talking to i
"The battle is over," Xavier said to Lucas."Not yet, not until I have seen both Dickson and Mr. Liam end up in prison," Lucas replied. Unknown to Lucas, Roxanne had gone on with the most dangerous fight in him. He was surprised to hear from his lawyer, Ms. Jessica."What am I hearing from you? This should have come to you before now, but there's a lot going on in my head that I'm about to sort out," she said to him."Please, I don't really understand you. Did you call me to your office to tell me how busy you are?" he asked her."Not really, Mr. Lucas. Please, what is this?" she asked him, handing over a file.Lucas looked into the file. "I don't understand," he said."This was brought to my table. I was able to snatch it from the accusers. This is your signature on an illegal business deal with Mr. Francis," she said.Lucas stood up. "I don't understand you. Where and how did I get to know Mr. Francis? I don't know a name like that. I think there is a mistake somewhere," he answered
Bianca still felt love for Mark. "There is a birthday I would like you to attend with me," Mark said to her. "Really?" she asked him. "Yes," he answered with a smile. Bianca accepted the offer. Meanwhile, it was a setup with Xavier to get her down. The plan commenced. Bianca, who had felt uneasy, left the child with his new nanny and went to dine with Mark. As she walked into the birthday event, there was the sound of music playing. She asked, "Are you sure this is the birthday event?" Mark smiled and answered her, "Yes, this is the birthday event, and soon the celebrant will be out to have a handshake with me as well.""How would the celebrant have a handshake with you here outside when there are so many people to attend to?" she asked him. "You don't need to worry," Mark replied. Before Bianca could say another word, she was already surrounded by a group of police officers. "What is going on here?" she asked, raising her head to the other side of her right hand. "What is the meaning
