Chapter 46 It was like a burden was lifted off her shoulder. “Attention everyone! Please, let's be silent as we watch and listen as they announce the generous CEO's name.” Joseph funnily said. For almost 30 minutes, there was silence in the room as they all stared at the small-sized TV screen, watching John Wilfred speak. They couldn't get their eyes off the screen as they eagerly waited for John to introduce on stage the new CEO. After an hour of watching, the session was over, but the new CEO wasn't seen, nor did John Wilfred make mention of his name. This was very strange as they all frowned their faces. This has never been the usual way that such a thing has been done. So why has it been changed now? “There's nothing strange and suspicious about this new CEO.” Stephen groaned bitterly, twisting his face in a heavy frown. He instantly gripped the TV remote control from Joseph and turned off the television. “What do you mean by that, Dad?” Joseph was also weari
Chapter 47 “Doctor, nurse! Emergency, please, help us.” Maria screamed as she rushed out of the car immediately after they got to the hospital. “Please, help us. Nothing bad must happen to our daughter.” She panicked, running helter-skelter and screaming in the hospital. Immediately some group of female nurses quickly came out with a stretcher upon hearing the commotion. Fred, who was already carrying Rose's unconscious body, quickly placed her on the stretcher and they rushed behind the nurses as they took Rose to an emergency ward. “I'm sorry but you can't go in with us.” One of the nurses turned and informed them as they tried to go in with them. They halted but their hasty breaths didn't cease to stop. Then, the ward's metallic door was bolted, locking them outside. Maria and Stephen, her husband, both bit their lips, panging their heads heavily as they walked to and fro, while Fred leaned himself to the white-painted wall, his arms crossed over each other and his
Chapter 48She took a deep breath and was about to say something when she heard what automatically shut her mouth up.“Congratulations to you, Mrs. Rose." Doctor Charles said, his face popped out with a smile. “Congrats? What for?” A surprise look was formed on Rose's face as she asked. She had managed to regain some strength, so she stood up and sat on the hospital bed, looking at the Doctor, who was busy smiling endlessly. “What do you mean by that?” Her face was turning pale.Doctor Charles had to clear his throat very well. He took a very deep breath; he wanted to talk, but he paused.He smiled again, looking at Rose while her face was expressing her impatience. “You're pregnant, and I'm happy for you.” He finally revealed it and Rose was shocked.“I'm… what? Pre…Pregnant? How is that possible?” She stuttered out and the Doctor was puzzled as she asked him that.Which woman won't be happy hearing that she's carrying a baby in her stomach? He recalled the cases or incidences whe
Chapter 49 And my parents…. No, I can't keep this loser's child in me. I'm going to terminate it once and for all.” She cursed within herself. She was far in deep thought before a male voice snapped her out. “Ma, are you sure you're ok? You have been speaking to yourself in rage for hours now. Is anything the matter?" The taxi driver, who noticed Rose muttering to herself, asked her with concern. He had been observing her for so long now and talking to herself was the only thing she was doing. However, Rose eyed him annoyedly and sighed exasperatedly. “I'm sorry. I would have minded my business instead.” The driver, who noticed how she was looking at him through the help of the front driver's hanged mirror, apologized before concentrating on driving. “You better be,” Rose warned him and immediately ordered him to stop and the car swiftly stopped as she instructed. It stopped in front of a hospital that wasn't well furnished. Although it was not, they have trained Docto
Chapter 50 “My decision is finally and there's no going back nor backing down. I can't keep a man's child that can't even take good care of himself inside of me.” She spat and walked away immediately. “Oh, no. I mustn't allow her to do this to Michael. What should I do? What should I do? Ella, think fast.” She moved here and there, panicking. “Oh yes, Michael! I need to call him right away and inform him before it's too late.” This thought entered into her and she quickly brought out her phone to call Michael. She dialed his number and tried it several times but it didn't go through. She kept on calling but wasn't still getting through. It was switched off. Damn it! She tried her best but yet nothing. If Rose happens to abort the baby then she won't be blamed for it. “No. Michael, where are you?” She wished Michael would just appear immediately to get this whole mess cleared up. She pocketed back her phone and walked back inside the hospital with a worried and bit
Chapter 51 “You came unexpectedly, I hope everything is well.” Uncle John asked. Michael shook his head. “Everything is fine.” He paused and took a deep breath before adding. “I'm here to inform you that I'm planning on getting remarried,” Michael said. And Uncle John looked at him in disbelief. Does he really want to remarry? The Michael he knows too well had been madly in love with Rose so why don't he use his power and influence to get her back? He was dumbfounded for a moment before he asked. “You want to remarry?” He asked and Michael nodded his head lightly. “Have you thought about this very well? And are you well convinced that you can move on without Rose?” Rose was indeed one of the beauties in the town of Maple. Whenever the beautiful ladies are mentioned, she probably will be mentioned. “Rose? I don't care about her anymore. She treated me like I was nobody and she doesn't deserve to be with me after everything.” Michael's face turned sour. “I think or s
Chapter 52 “Good morning, sir. You called for me?” The senior guard rushed to where Michel was. He bowed his head and asked. Michael was dressed in a tattered cloth but this time, it was a different wear. It was red trousers and a white shirt, but it wasn't like the old wear. He was planning on taking a walk around the town in a low-key manner. So putting on the clothes he was wearing was enough to make people look down on him. “Yes, I want you to drive me out. I want to take a walk around the town.” The bodyguard raised his eyebrows. “But sir, are you going out in these clothes?” He asked, knowing that he could afford much more than a million-dollar cloth. “Is there anything wrong with what I'm wearing? Don't humans wear it? Am I not a human too?” He frowned. And the bodyguard shook his head, his face displaying his apologetic state. “I'm sorry sir, but….” He tried to explain himself but was shouted at. “Keep that to yourself and get me out of here immediately,” Micha
Chapter 53He pulled down his shabby clothes well with his bathroom slippers and headed there. As he got there, he managed to force himself through the crowd and entered into their midst.The people that he saw that caught his attention were a woman and a girl child; probably, the child was this woman's daughter. They were both crying non-stop with their knees on the ground, begging an arrogant man who never paid attention to them.This man was ordering some young men to pack out unidentified properties from the house.“Throw her out. Throw her out, throw her out.” The crowd was echoing with grins. Michael stood speechless, watching as the whole scene was unfolding in his front. He was confused and couldn't know what to do. But the weeping of the woman and her child kept making him feel restless. He tried to hold himself but couldn't. “What's happening here?” His voice echoed out, overshadowing everyone's voices. Astonished, everywhere became calm. All heads turned in his directi
