Chapter 55"Why are you not asleep?" I demanded, trying to divert the talk. "I am working on some files and trying to do research on how to promote a certain investment" I was thrilled to hear him say that. Who would have known he has the company's best interests in mind, just like his mom, who has always put our family business first? I think working with him will help me with the task ahead. Working together as one will be quite a good thing."That's so thoughtful of you" I admired. "I think we can work together; there's a project coming up; it's a challenge given to me by my father; it's a very big task; and I am to convince people of high caliber. I am disguising myself as the owner of that company. I need to convince them I am worth the contract," I explained and he looks really interested. "Wow, I think I love that already, so what's your strategy? How do you intend to woo this bestowing, folks?" He demanded, and it's obvious he knows more about it. "I'm going to dazzle them
Chapter 57Nathalie was puzzled, her voice laced with confusion. "What did you mean by you have a year to leave? What are you trying to do? Are you playing pity vote with me right now?" she asked. Her words hung in the air, the tension palpable between them. He looked at her with sincerity in his eyes, his voice carrying a hint of desperation as he responded."No, I am for real. Please stay with me, even if it's just for a year. Your leaving me would truly be a great loss for me. I can die to before a year that they gave me." He says.Nathalie's voice shifted from confusion to concern. "Show me evidence. What is wrong with you? Why did you have a year to leave? You look fine and healthy to me," she said. He sighed, his eyes filled with a mixture of sadness and vulnerability. "Yeah, I may look fine, but I am not fine. I have brain cancer, and it's in the last stage, just before I found out," he explained softly. With a trembling hand, he reached into his trouser pocket and pulled ou

Chapter 58As they got to the car, Clinton offered to drive."I am driving," he said, and Nathalie nodded in disagreement."You don't have to stress yourself; get in that car. I don't want to hear you insist" She warned, her voice overwhelmed with concerns.her voice leaving no room for negotiation. "Okay, Queen Mother." He tried to crack some jokes, attempting to inject a moment of levity to the already tensed atmosphere."You can never change" she said, getting into the car. Clinton couldn't stop staring at her; she got undeniable concerns in her face, and she drove to the hospital."I made a very big mistake by letting you go. You are the realest girl I have met so far, and I feel so happy right now. Maybe God wants me to close my eyes for the last time looking at you" The words got Nathalie hook, and she almost bumped into a vehicle."Can you stop this already? You are not going anywhere, nothing is going to happen to you, so just keep quiet till we get to the hospital." She shout
Chapter 59"I understand that you don't want any extra help, but it's important for you to take your medication consistently," she says, her voice calm and concerned. Clinton nods in agreement. "It would be more convenient if I could drive you to your apartment so you have easy access to your medication. Additionally, it's concerning that your manager hasn't been informed about your needs. Did you explain the situation to him? And why hasn't your agency CEO taken any action? I suggested you join my agency, but you didn't take my advice," she says, her frustration evident as she rolls her eyes."I asked him to go home because I will be fine and I forgot the drugs today. I apologize," he says with a smirk. "Who smirks in a time like this? This guy is just too strong. How can you be smiling in a situation like that?" she asks, her confusion evident. However, she quickly pulls him into a hug. "You really need this," she says, tears welling up in her eyes.She holds him tightly, her emot
Chapter 60As he listened to their ideas, he found every part interesting as he took note of every detail."I am so impressed. Thanks for working endlessly." He appreciated their efforts, and they were glad he liked it. When they are about to leave for their office, his table phone rings out, and he picks it up. "Mr. Chairman, I hope you are informed about the urgent meeting summoned by the shareholders. You need to be there" President Karen announced.That's too prompt; why are they just giving notice at the last minute? Why if I had a tight schedule?" he demanded, frustration evident in his voice."I also told them about it, but we don't have any option here; you have to be there, she informed, and he nodded slightly."Okay, I will make sure to be there," he said curtly before dropping the call."Mike, you take care of things in the office. Nathan, come with me; there's an urgent meeting" he said authoritatively as he stood up from his seat. They both did as instructed, as Stephan a
Chapter 61Susan couldn't keep up with the heated agreement anymore and rushed out of the house to her car, where she ordered her PA to drive. She couldn't help but think of her parents words; it shows how disappointed and angry they were. But it wasn't also her fault if they hadn't pressured her to get married; she started regretting every part of it. If she had known, she would have treated him better and would have fought her parents for him. And now she's the one paying for everything. He wished Stephen could forgive her, with a hint of hope lingering through her thoughts, but it wasn't as easy as it sounds. It's been almost a month since she's been with him, but there's nothing she did that impressed him; rather, he only finds everything annoying that he didn't even sleep in the same room with her.Arriving at Logan's Mansion. "Maam, we are here." Her PA announced, but she was deep into her thoughts. "Maam, we are here at Logan's Mansion." He announced again, bringing her out of
Chapter 62Stephen walked inside the dimly lit room, its walls adorned with faded floral wallpaper. The air hung with a musty scent, carrying remnants of bygone memories. Weary from his journey, he made his way to the bed, its creaking springs groaning under his weight. His gaze fell upon Susan, her slumber serene and undisturbed. A sense of concern enveloped him as he retrieved his phone from his pocket, a device that had become a lifeline in this restless night. With a heavy heart, he had been dialing Nathalie's number ceaselessly, the minutes stretching into hours. Yet, each attempt seemed futile as the call remained unanswered. The worry gnawed at him, leaving an anxious knot in his stomach, a silent plea for her well-being. Frustrated, he decided to reach out to Nathan who might hold the answers he sought. His trembling fingers tapped Nathan's name on his contact list, desperately hoping for a connection. As the line connected, a wave of relief washed over Stephen. "Where are yo
