He is not going to object to her being with Eddie. They seemed to care about each other and that's what matters to him now. "It's Ok Agatha. I will be fine Ok?" Eddie said and Agatha sniffled. She raised herself and stared at him. She looked into his eyes and saw he was looking quite fine. Eddie smiled when he saw the way she stared at him. Was she examining him? When he woke up a while ago, he seemed not to see clearly. His vision was blurry and he couldn't recognize anyone. He remembered everything Jennifer said and wanted to see her. His tongue wasn't loose for him to talk so he just remained quiet on the bed. He felt the presence of people around him and was hearing his mother's words of excitement. When his vision became stabilized, he could talk and asked after her first. He kept his eyes on Agatha and carefully he saw her come closer and placed her lips on his..Eddie chuckled as her lips met his. He was surprised that Jennifer was not shy of his parents and brother

"If your marriage with him was not consummated, it implies that you were never his woman and he doesn't have the right to take everything from you"Clara said, he was angry now. "I didn't know how to fight back then. I had no one on my side and I can't go about telling everyone I met that I was a virgin wife"Jennifer replied. Eddie was quiet. She was married; he suspected it when he saw a wedding band on her finger and yet she pulled herself naked and fondled with his belt that day. He was reluctant to take her but when she kept begging him and rumpling his clothes, he completely lost his self control and pulled her into his arms, kissing her while she plastered her thin body against his. He took her to the bed and she soon lost consciousness. He stripped her naked and drove himself inside her. It was hard and she screamed "pain" in her unconscious state. He forced himself into her and knew then that she was pure. If he had known, he wouldn't have taken her that night.

Jennifer came and sat beside him. "Everything you said while I was unconscious, I heard it. Do you really mean it?" Eddie inquired. He might be unconscious but his ability to hear was active and he heard what everyone said including Jennifer. He also knows she contributed a lot to his quick response to treatment and his waking up. But does she really mean those words? Jennifer stared at his handsome face. He is cute and despite being in a hospital bed, he still maintains that charm and attractiveness. She saw the identical look with her boys and sighed audibly. "I didn't mean it. I just wanted you to come around"Jennifer replied but she avoided his gaze. He really doesn't mean anything to her or was she joking? He tried to look into her eyes and read it but she already turned away. She turned her curly hair to him and fondled with her fingers. He saw her Palms and her fondling and smiled. She's lying. She's already having a crush on him as well. He had loved her at

Harry and Yuna were having a tough Frede that evening. They were both quarrelling and Regina with Cherry Lu were present. "How can you both accuse me of sleeping with Jennifer? Haven't you done enough harm to her already? I blamed myself to have allowed you two witches to drag me into your inhumane treatment towards Jennifer. How can you still be shameless and talk about making her a surrogate Mother for Tiana? Because it's definitely not me and her. I will never be a part of anything that will humiliate that woman again. She's my ex-wife and I will see that I protect her from ravagers like you both.."Harry was rattling. "Enough!! How dare you go senseless with your mouth Harry? Who the hell do you think you are to sprout nonsense out of your mouth? You call me and my daughter two witches? Then you are the wizard and your mother Cherry Lu is the third witch here. You want to deny that you have not been cheating on your wife? You no longer make love to her because y

Amanda exchanged glances with his wife and the latter sighed. How was he supposed to persuade Eddie to let go? Maybe he was wrong after all not to have consulted him before taking the decision he took. Julia walked in and took the few items in Agatha's hands away and saw that everyone's face looked gloomy, especially Eddie's who looked furious. He had known Eddie all his life. He knew anyFrede he had this face and coldness, he was angry. He may go like that for hours without uttering a word to anyone. He looked at everyone again and then turned to Jennifer. He squinted at her with a questioning look. The latter shrugged and looked away. "Why's everyone quiet? Is anything the matter?" Julia asked. He looked towards his parents and then his brother. But none answered him. Eddie just stood up and pulled Jennifer as he walked towards the exit. He didn't even wait for his parents who had come to take him to leave ahead of him. Jennifer tucked at him to wait. He can't j

Eddie was actually waiting to see if she entered. As soon as Jennifer opened the door to peep in, she was suddenly pulled by the wrist and heard Eddie laughing out loud. He pulled her and brought her under the shower. Jennifer struggled to free from his grip but then he started the shower and Agatha became wet. "Eddie you are a jerk" Jennifer cursed but soon started laughing as well. Eddie was already done bathing and a towel was around his waist. Agatha's clothes got wet and she had no option than to remain under the shower. "Take a good bath after all you are just coming from the hospital" Eddie teased and was going to walk out. "Who asked for your help?" Jennifer asked, spewing water out of her mouth. She wiped the water from her face and looked at the retreating back of Eddie. "I'm being nice and you are not complimenting me?" Eddie replied and went out. He dried his hair and creamed it. By the Frede Agatha was done, she had no towel on. She peeped out, "Eddie, to

Life would have been filled with happiness for them while they keep trying to have a kid of their own. She smiled when Harry took a seat. He saw her smiling and maintaining a cool expressionless face. The waiter came and took their orders. Without saying anything to each other, silently they had their lunch. Tiana soon finished the meal and drank a glass of wine. She waited until Harry had his fill. " Is there anything you want to discuss with me?" Harry asked. Tiana inviting him out for lunch definitely has a string attached. Yuna nodded. She felt happy that he could guess her thoughts. He knew she had a reason for asking him out for lunch. "I want to talk about us. I asked that you give me a few minutes of your Frede. It's going to be brief…" Yuna pleaded. CHAPTER 67 Harry listened to Tiana. She paused and looked at him to see if he would frown or asked her to stop but Harry didn't do any of those. She was excited. He was ready to hear her out
SIMON THE ZILLIONAIRE FROM NOWHERE 67
Tiana arrived and went into the bedroom, threw herself unto it, thinking solely about Jennifer. They had really murdered her morals. They have done something to her that she would never forget about them. They set her up and got her raped. Her first Frede was taken violently and her marriage crashed. She lost her husband to her. Her portion of the Mo's business, she lost to Harry. She had no job, no money and no one to call a family. They have really stripped her naked and left her out on a cold morning. She definitely must have suffered humiliation and pain. And she got pregnant. She became a single mother. How can she ever let the past remain where it is, the past? She laid there ruminating about all that her sister might have gone through for the past four years and a tint of remorse appeared on her conscience. Eddie asked to see the boys after the Zu's have left. The boys were called and when they saw Eddie, they screamed for joy and ran to hug him. Eddie smiled

“Eddie, you need to think this through,” his secretary, Lisa, urged as she shuffled through papers on his desk. “Keeping your distance from Agatha might not be the best strategy right now.”Eddie leaned back in his chair, rubbing his temples. “You don’t understand. I can’t afford to get too close to her, not after everything that’s happened.”“Look, I get it. But you’ve already agreed to help her with her family’s company. If you cut ties now, it’ll look suspicious,” Lisa replied, raising an eyebrow.Eddie sighed heavily. “It was a mistake to agree to that in the first place. I should have never involved myself in her family’s business.”“Eddie, this is a complicated situation. You know Agatha needs your support,” Lisa pressed, her voice steady. “She’s promised to start fresh, to make this work. You can’t just back out.”“Her promises don’t mean anything if it jeopardizes my own company,” Eddie countered, his voice rising slightly. “I have to think about my future, my business. I can’

“Eddie!” Jennifer called out as she stepped into the house, her heart racing.Eddie emerged from the kitchen, looking worn out and a little worried. “You’re back! How was your trip?”“It was beautiful, but… we need to talk,” Jennifer said, struggling to keep her voice steady.“Talk about what?” Eddie asked, leaning against the kitchen counter, sensing the tension in the air.“Andrew… he wants to marry me,” Jennifer blurted out, the words escaping before she could rein them in.Eddie’s brow furrowed. “What? You’ve got to be kidding me. You just got back from a vacation! Why would you even consider that?”“I know it sounds crazy, but he’s serious. He wants me to leave everything and be with him,” she replied, panic rising in her chest.“Leave everything? Jennifer, are you really thinking about this? What about us?” Eddie’s voice rose slightly, betraying his frustration.“I’m not saying I will! I just… I need time to figure things out,” she stammered, trying to make sense of her feelings.

Eddie leaned back in his chair, staring out the window as he waited for Agatha to arrive. The morning sun filtered through the glass, casting shadows across his desk, but the warmth offered little comfort. His mind raced with possibilities, scenarios of how this confrontation would play out. He could almost hear the tension humming in the air, a warning that things were about to get messy.When Agatha finally entered, she was all business, her heels clicking sharply against the hardwood floor. Her expression was calm, but Eddie noticed a flicker of something in her eyes—nervousness, perhaps, or anticipation.“Eddie,” she greeted, her tone cool. “You wanted to see me?”“Have a seat,” he replied, gesturing to the chair across from him. He needed to maintain control, to keep the upper hand in this conversation.Agatha sat down, her posture elegant, but there was a slight tension in her shoulders. “What’s this about?”“Let’s not pretend, Agatha. You know exactly why I wanted to talk to yo

"Eddie, calm down. You're jumping to conclusions." Agatha’s voice was smooth, too smooth for Eddie’s liking. She sat across from him, legs crossed, sipping her tea as if the world wasn’t on fire.Eddie clenched his fists, barely able to control his rising anger. His office felt smaller, suffocating, as if the walls were closing in on him. “Calm down? Agatha, one of my subsidiaries just got shut down for a violation, and it happens to be the one your man, Charles, oversees. You expect me to believe that’s just a coincidence?”Agatha didn’t even flinch. She set her cup down delicately, her sharp eyes meeting his. “I understand your frustration, Eddie. But accusing me without evidence won’t solve your problem. Charles has been nothing but loyal, and whatever happened at that company was not my doing. You’re letting your emotions cloud your judgment.”Eddie’s jaw tightened. “You think this is about emotions? Agatha, I’ve been in this business long enough to know when something stinks. I j

"Jennifer, you need a break. We've both been working nonstop, and honestly, I think a vacation would do us both some good." Andrew's voice was steady but held a hint of concern as they sat across from each other in the quiet corner of a café.Jennifer stirred her coffee absentmindedly, her mind elsewhere. "I don’t know if I’m ready to go anywhere, Andrew. There’s too much going on, and I can’t just leave. Especially with everything at the office." She sighed, the weight of Frank's death still lingering in her voice, even though she had started to heal.Andrew leaned forward, his eyes locking onto hers. "You can't keep burying yourself in work, Jen. It's not healthy. You’ve been carrying a lot on your shoulders, and I get it. But you need to take care of yourself too. Just a few days away. Let’s go somewhere quiet, where you don’t have to think about business or Frank for a while."Jennifer hesitated, chewing her lip. She knew Andrew was right, but the thought of leaving everything beh

“Grace, I need to know exactly what’s going on,” Eddie demanded, pacing around his office. His voice was sharp, filled with frustration. “We can’t afford any more surprises, and this Wilford situation has already cost us enough.”Grace, sitting calmly across from him, nodded. “I understand, Mr. Cameron. I’ve already started pulling reports from the other subsidiaries. But, honestly, I think we need to have a bigger conversation about oversight. This isn’t just about Wilford anymore.”Eddie stopped pacing and turned to face her. “What do you mean?”She handed him a folder. “I’ve been digging, and there are minor discrepancies in a few other subsidiaries as well. It’s not at the level of Wilford, but it’s enough to raise concerns.”Eddie flipped through the documents, his brow furrowing deeper with each page. “How did this happen under my watch? I had systems in place, checks and balances—how did we miss all of this?”Grace gave him a sympathetic look. “Honestly, I think the company has

Eddie sat at his desk, staring at the numbers on the financial report in front of him. His heart sank as he scanned the figures again, hoping he had somehow misread the data. But there was no mistaking it—his company had taken a sharp hit, and the numbers reflected a significant loss.“This doesn’t make sense,” he muttered to himself, furrowing his brow. He quickly picked up his phone and dialed his personal secretary, Grace.Moments later, Grace appeared at the door, clipboard in hand, her face calm as ever. She was always efficient, always on top of everything, and Eddie trusted her implicitly. But today, something felt off, and he needed answers.“Grace,” he said, his voice sharp with urgency. “What’s going on with the numbers? Our revenues have dropped drastically. I need you to dig into this and find out where the problem lies.”Grace nodded, her fingers already flying over her tablet as she pulled up the latest data. “I’ll get to it right away, Mr. Cameron. I’ll have a detailed

Eddie paced back and forth in his office, his phone gripped tightly in his hand. He had just read Jennifer’s text: *"We’re heading to Aruba. I’ll be fine, Eddie. Don’t worry."* His gut told him something was off, but he didn’t want to overreact—at least not yet.He opened his contacts, his thumb hovering over a few trusted names. Maybe he could ask one of them to keep an eye on Jennifer while she was away. But before he could make a decision, Agatha appeared at the doorway, her presence calm and poised.“Eddie, what’s going on?” Agatha’s voice was smooth, almost soothing. She noticed the tension in his shoulders, the way he clenched his phone like it was the last tether holding him together. Eddie exhaled heavily, running a hand through his hair. “Jennifer just texted me. She’s heading to Aruba with Andrew. Something feels… wrong.”Agatha raised an eyebrow, stepping further into the room. “Aruba? With Andrew? That doesn’t sound too bad, does it?” Her voice had a lilt of casualness, a

Andrew watched Jennifer run toward the car, her decision clear as she fumbled with her phone. His face twisted in frustration, his mind racing. He had spent weeks meticulously planning this, gaining her trust, making her think he was her escape. And now, Eddie had ruined everything. His phone buzzed in his pocket, but he ignored it, clenching his fists. Jennifer had already stepped away, halfway across the tarmac, but Andrew wasn’t ready to let this go so easily. With determined steps, he caught up to her, his voice low but urgent as he reached out to grab her arm. "Jennifer, wait."Jennifer stopped, startled, but didn’t turn around immediately. She seemed to wrestle with herself, not quite pulling away from him yet. Andrew took that as a sign to keep going."Just listen to me," Andrew urged, trying to soften his tone. "You don’t have to believe anything Eddie says. He’s trying to confuse you, make you doubt your own decisions."Jennifer shook her head, her voice barely above a whis
