Chapter 48 Lucas put a scary call through his family, he reminded them that he had never forgotten them and that they would soon see him. He knew the untouched Kendrick would never be silent despite the torture Tristan went through, so he remembered him to buy more time for himself in other to put things in place. There's a bit of worry on Lucas's face, he was thinking of how he would act smart without Sheila suspecting him because he would be in her house in a few minutes. "I need to make some necessary calls before leaving this hospital, I don't know if Sheila will give me breathing space" "Steve" "Yes, sir" "I'm terminating your appointment right now" he threatened "Sir, I'm so sorry I didn't call you all this while, you said I should not and that you would call me anytime you need me. Please, have mercy on me, I just got married and I do not want to be full house husband have mercy on me" he begged "Who among the staff is worth sacking to replace you?" he asked "No
Chapter 49"What did you just say, Lucas?""Sheila, I appreciate everything you have done for me, please sign the document and let me go"Lucas was scared to know her condition, he didn't want a situation where he would be camped by a woman he didn't love. Sheila was scared when Lucas was about to change his mind, her joke was too expensive for Lucas, when she saw a demeanour in Lucas she quickly said she had signed the document and that she was just joking and Lucas took it seriously. Lucas knew what he had suffered from Lydia and her family, he could not allow that kind of joke because he had been there. "My condition is don't be shy around me""Is that all?" "Yes, that is all""You should have told me earlier, I won't" A smirk escaped his mind when he replied. She asked Lucas to go while she would come behind him, but Lucas disagreed that a man stays behind a woman to protect her, not the other way around. Sheila carried his luggage and led the way. ***Welcome homeSheila's h
Chapter 50Lucas was woken up with greetings from Sheila. He could not believe that he slept off without waking up at midnight to work as he usually did in his house. He was more comfortable than Lydia's house. "Good morning Lucas, your breakfast is ready, let's meet at the dining table when you are done freshening up" She didn't wait to get a reply from Lucas before she left his door. Lucas looked at the watch and saw the time was 7 am, he dashed into the bathroom to freshen up after freshening up, he went to dining and had a nice meal with Sheila. Sheila advised him to stay at home and let her have his size to protect him from people after his life but he insisted on going out with Sheila that he needed to see the sun and look for work. He said assassination might be a mistake that he knew no one who could after his life. She agreed to let them go out together and she promised him that nothing would happen to him besides her. Sheila went in to get dressed, she put on a nice gow
Chapter 51Blinded by assumptions, the manager's anger flared at the sight of Lucas, unknowingly berating the very billionaire holding the reins of the company. Little did he realize that the target of his abuse wielded more power than he could fathom."I said what are you doing here wretched lad? You can't just spoil my day because I'm expecting an important person here today, and an unfortunate person like you should always be out of sight" Fury surged through Lucas, fueled by the venomous words from James, these are the best words he used to describe him when he was working in that store. Not anymore James would receive a beating of his life and he must be careful not to alert Sheila. His fists clenched, his jaw tightened, and a fire burned in his eyes as he fought to contain the storm of rage within."By the way, who allowed you in? "You ordered Tania" "Is Tania your mate, how dare you call her by her name? "James?" he called "What did you just say, you called me by my name,
Chapter 52Lucas asked James to on CCTV that he needed to check something downstairs, and he was surprised to see two women humiliating Sheila. He identified Tania on the camera but the other lady was unknown. He asked James to play back the previous scene starting from where they entered the store. James did not hesitate; he took the remote and played it back; Lucas focused on the section Sheila was in. Sheila walked to the section where ladies' stuff was neatly arranged, from bag to shoe and from shoe to beautiful clothes. She had not checked for up to 5 minutes when a lady came in. Lucas ordered James to zoom in on the lady's face paused for identification and asked who she was, James responded that she was Tania's sister a model and actor her name was Lady Grace."Continue playing the video" Lucas commanded Grace walked swiftly to the store, observing the nice dresses before her eyes caught Sheila, she dropped the clothes she was holding and walked to Sheila. "You must be stu
Chapter 53Everyone was surprised when Lucas screamed my woman, how could a poor man like him have a beautiful lady like Sheila as his woman? Sheila's heart fluttered she was happy that Lucas had been feeling the same way she was feeling or was he just pulling a stunt in front of people? Rosie moved closer to Tania and released Sheila's hair from her grip. Grace scoffed and shot Lucas a wicked stare, she held her hand closer to her head like she was trying to recall something and she snapped out immediately. "I know him, he is a beggar, he used to come to the location to beg. Wow! Sheila, I have been wondering why you are living a miserable life among the actors, this so-called man of yours has answered my question, are you married or engaged? What is the level of your relationship? She asked SmackA slap landed on her face, Lucas had signalled to James and Jamaes commanded Rosie to slap her, she was caught unaware because of her rant. She lost her balance and staggered for a w
Chapter 54In order not to make James die as he promised if they refused to take something from the store, Sheila looked for clothes that had the lowest price, despite that, the ones she saw were still expensive. She took 3 plain shirts, 3 pairs of trousers, 2 polos and 3 ties and 2 pairs of flat shoes for Lucas. The manager told her to take more but she said she was satisfied. If she had known that James would pay for everything should had taken, she wouldn't have taken a pin from that store. The little things she took were worth a million dollars. Manager James would use his 2 years salary to pay for the items. Sheila was surprised about what happened out there she didn't know what to ask Lucas, she was just looking at him with astonishment. Lucas was not her husband that she could start asking and yelling at immediately for an explanation, he was just a friend and she had to be diplomatic in asking him in order not to think of controlling him or digging into his private life. Lu
Chapter 55He rang Fabian to meet him with a nice car that they would be heading to Nova Dynamic Group to sign his deed of agreement. He headed to his room and had a change of clothes, he picked from the ones they just got from Harrison and Elle Couture. Before he could finish dressing, his phone beeped, and he saw a text from Steve, he had warned Steve not to call him and the manager was obedient; he always sent messages if he had an important message to deliver. He opened the message and read:"The date for the audition has been set. I haven't sent an invitation to Miss Lydia and Mr Jared because you are not aware of the date. I don't know if you would be comfortable with the date the memo has been sent to your email. I will be patiently waiting for your reply, sir.Thank you sir Manager Steve"He replied to the message that he had seen the memo since morning and that he was okay with the date that he should go ahead.He strode out and waited for Fabian to pick him up.
