Eric and his wife Sophia drifted closer to the desk where they could listen to whatever secret Charles had to spill about Harry. “You will be so shocked about this finding and thank me later when it helps you else it might become a problem for you. ”“Can you just get over with it, what is it you want to say about Harry?” Eric asked again, trying to conceal his curiosity. “Do you know that Harry is still alive!!” He spilled out the word and then he could not help but laugh so loud like a lunatic that it echoed through the room. “What” Sophia exclaimed as she stared intensely at him, a mixture of anger and sympathy for the man who seemed to be slowly losing his sanity. “You guys don't believe me? You have to, I saw him with my eyes, he was here, right where you are, just standing there and staring at me! And then he threatened me”“Charles, is this what you have been reduced to, you murdered a man and now you are hallucinating about him”“Tell me, Charles, is my baby girl Lilly als
It was the weekend and Olivia was back at home alone with the maid because her parent had gone to the precinct to visit her sister's killer when the doorbell rang. The maid scurried over to the door but was not familiar with the visitor and wasn't certain what to say to him. “Good day Sir, Who are you looking for?”“I believe that this is the Carrion mansion right?”“Yes Sir, are the Carrion family expecting you?”“No, but they will be thrilled to see me” He replied and the maid nodded respectfully. “Alright Sir Ma and Sir are currently not at home but I will get Ms. Olivia to speak to you right away”“Sure, go ahead” The maid strided away from the door and after a while, Olivia swung the door open as her eyes popped out. “Mr. Paulos! Where the hell have you been, I have been trying to reach you for days now, but you have been out of reach?”“Nothing much, just some work issues, do you mind if I come in?” He asked and it was at this moment that her eyes drifted to the big bag he w
Mom! It is going to be fine, Paulos is a good friend of Dad, you just have to let them sort out themselves” Olivia assured her mom who heaved a long sigh. “Eric, it seems like you have not explained to your wife about the hand that feeds you!” Paulos shoots a warning gaze at Eric, but he steps out of the house and signals Paulos to follow him. “What sort of game is this that you are trying to play with my family?” Eric asked furiously the moment they were both alone. “Game, I will never play any game with your family, you should know how fond I am of Olivia and will never do anything that will hurt her”“But your presence here is hurting her! Please, Paulos, you have more friends than I can imagine that you can reach out to”“Listen to me Eric, One of my shipments carrying high-end drugs was sized by the cops, I have some connections at the bureau, but I have been having difficulty reaching out to them and I do not want to appear at the print yet until I am certain of my case and j
The both of them immediately jerked off from the bed, their eyes filled with fear like two teenagers that had just been caught in the act. “Why the hell is your mother at your doorstep this late at night?” Harry inquired, and his eyes seemed to be filled with panic. “She lives here, so I think that it is only right for her to visit whenever she chooses” Lisa explained, speaking in whispers. “What am I supposed to do?”“What else, hide!” She replied and quickly shoved him into the wardrobe before walking over the door. Lisa twisted the door knob with a smile on her face, Emily stares at her suspiciously and follows her side. “Why did you lock your door, this is the first time you have ever done that”“I guess sometimes I need my privacy, especially when working” She replied as her gaze went straight to the laptop that was still open. Emily stared at it for a while and then offered herself a seat on the sofa. “Mother, is everything alright?”“Yeah, I visited your brother today and
Lisa twisted the doorknob after her mother left, and once she was certain that she was far away from the hallway, she called out to Harry. “You can come out, she is gone” First he gave a peak, trying to be cautious before stepping out of the large wardrobe filled with female clothes. “Wow, Lisa! That was indeed a family drama that I just witnessed, did realize that you and your mother still do that stuff where you have to bicker with words at all times ”“Is that supposed to be a compliment?”“Far from that, you do know that this entire forgiveness thing is a trap right?”“Yeah, I am not a kid, I can see the entire picture, but what I am not sure of is how to avoid them,” She asked and fell on the bed, Harry did the same with his hands wrapped around her. “But you should also know that they are going to try to make it look real as it goes to the extent that you will be left with no choice but to believe and that is when they finally get to strike”“I guess I will have to be more al
They were all stunned by the way they were treated by Lisa, Emily grabbed her by the arm and pulled her to a side. “Lisa! What do you think you are doing, I thought that we have been over this”“You said that they were coming over to ask for forgiveness, but all I see them is acting cocky and expecting me to be the one to apologize”“They are going to apologize if you give them the chance, but not with the way you are acting. They are your family, how can you say that you wouldn't eat at the same table with them”“Harry was my family and yet that was how they treated me, none of you ever let him eat on the same table, so pardon me if I do not feel too comfortable about this”“Please Lisa, are you not tired of this war, please I need some rest, and the only way I can acquire it is by finding peace, help me do this please… ”“Fine! Let us go dine with the enemy” She announced and walked away back to the dining table where they were all seated. Emily went ahead to dish out the meal made
Once everyone was gone, Lisa assisted her mother in tidying up the place, a wave of satisfaction filled Emily's face that she could not hide. “Thank you so much Lisa for today, I am aware that it was difficult for you, but I believe that soon, this family will be whole again”“Don't get your hopes too high, we will see about that!” Lisa replied and scurried to the living room, but there was a news going on the television and it caught her attention. “Recent update about a construction site owned by Timeless Fashion has just collapsed, leaving two workers dead, now the police are going to start an investigation soon because everyone would like to know if this was a fault of the company itself or the workers that had failed to adhere to safety protocols”The news broadcaster explained and Lisa could feel her chest tightened as she tried to breathe. “Oh my God! Isn't that your construction site, what the hell happened, and why is the press getting this news before you” Emily cried out
When they eventually arrived at the hospital, it seemed the nurses had been waiting for them, turns out that Harry had reached out to the hospital and informed them of Lisa's condition, so they were fully prepared and waiting anxiously for them. Eric and his family arrived back at their home that night to see that Paulos had made a mess of the entire place, almost all the bottles of wine had been opened and emptied, yet he did not seem drunk. “What in God's name is going on here!!” Grandma yelled out furiously because she had never had to witness such a scene at her home. “I apologize for me, I was in a good mood and thought that it was only proper that I celebrate, I mean it is such good news and I wouldn't walk past it!”Indeed Paulos was filled with all smiles even as he explained to Grandma who even got more furious and then she turned to her son. “Eric! I do not care where you picked this man up from, but I have told you before and I am still saying it right in his presence, I
Harry was a man who went through severe torture and as most people would say, he ended up falling in love with the wrong person, but amits everything that he went through in life, he did not give up, he kept striving, going through so much pain, but the hardships that he went through in life seemed to have also helped shaped his life. But at that moment when he was going to give up on life itself, light shone on him and he became so wealthy that most people would consider it impossible, even when he had acquired so much wealth, Harry did not become arrogant or belittle those around him, especially those who had humiliated him in the past, he was so humble to the core that he served at their feet and never in their entire life did they imagine that he could be a billionaire. Lisa on her end made so many mistakes in the beginning but she was able to come through and realize how much sacrifices the man she married was making for her finally, she learned to love him but his death shatte
While Williams rushed over to Olivia, he held her in his arms, she was gasping for breath, no doubt that she was feeling immense pain, for the first time, tears rolled down his cheek seeing the only woman he ever dared love in pain. “Will, you have to let me go this time around…. ” She was coughing out blood as she spoke. “Someone call an ambulance!!”Williams roared at the top of his voice while he tried to put pressure on the wound. “We have called for an ambulance, it should be here soon” Gilbert replied but Williams was shedding so many more tears than he ever did before, he could bear seeing Olivia locked away but what he could not bear was the thought of never seeing her again. “Why are you so stubborn Olivia, I warned you, I was ready to give up my life for you, why couldn't it be me, am I so hard to love that you would rather die than be with me”“it is not that you are difficult to love, I just do not deserve you, I do not deserve your love, you should be with someone more
Williams picked up his phone and placed a call to Olivia, after several rings, it went right to voicemail, but he was not going to give up in haste. He kept calling her until finally, her tiny voice came through. “What is it Williams, I am busy right now” Those were the first words she said once she picked up the call. “How are you doing Olivia?”“How are you expecting, you and Harry have my Mother and Father locked up and today, I just lost Grandma from the massive shock she had to receive, so how do you expect me to do?”“Is that why you kidnapped Lisa?” He asked and she was silent for a while. “So you know, but do not bother trying to talk me out of this one, it is not going to work, it's all over because she will be dead before you find her”“I do not care about Lisa, who I care about is you, I do not want you to get hurt in the process, you have been hurt so much and I understand that right now you think no one cares about you, but I do”“I do not care about your feelings for m
Chapter 225:Williams picked up his phone and dialed Lisa’s number but after each rang, it went straight to voicemail, he gently closed the bridge of his nose, worried that something might have happened to her as he rose to his feet. He scurried through the parking lot, hopped into his car, and drove right for Springfield estate, but it was just Mrs. Emily at home. “Williams, It is such a surprise to see you hear by this time of the day, or did you forget something here the last time that you were here?” A bright smile filled her face while she asked. “Not at all, Lisa is not at the office and they seem worried so I just thought to know if she came back home perhaps for any purpose at all”“No, Lisa left for work early this morning and hasn't been back until now, have you tried reaching out to her through her phone?”“I have tried countless times to no avail, I think that there is a problem somewhere”“What kind of problem could that be because you are making me scared right now, a
Olivia spent most of the day at the hospital, she was filled with so much pain and humiliation that she dared not go out even after receiving several messages from her mother who wanted to see her, she still refused to leave. It was early that morning when Olivia was still fast asleep close to Grandma Maria when she heard the sound of the machine that was connected to Grandma making a rapid sound. Olivia opened her eyes and realized that Grandma was gasping for breath as she jerked up. “Grandma! Grandma!! Grandma speak to me what is going on?”Fear took hold of her seeing that Grandma was rolling her eyes back and forth trying to breathe but it proved difficult for her. So she dashed out of the ward as she hurried to go get the doctor. “Doctor! Nurse!! ” She was screaming at the top of her voice and even the doctor who had received this alert from his emergency button was rushing over to the ward accompanied by his group of trainees and nurses. “Doctor please you need to help her,
Lisa felt her heart melt seeing Harry in a state that she had never seen him before and all she could do was tap his shoulder gently in an attempt to console him while he quickly wiped away his tears. “No amount of apologies will take away the pain that you had to go through while you had a father who could have made life easy for you, I am so sorry that I put you through so much pain and now I am paying gravely for my transgression”“It's alright, you do not have to keep beating yourself about this, I know you have paid gravely for your wrongdoings, and it is enough, now is the time that you finally find peace ”“Yes, being able to be on good terms with you again in this lifetime is enough peace for me. That moment when I stood at that event and watched you climb up the stage, I knew for sure that this was God's way of forgiving me, now I can die in peace”“Do not make use of such words here, you are not dying not while I am here”“My son, I understand that you are powerful but deat
Williams was able to book with a specialist in Chicago and a date of appointment was fixed. Harry alongside Lisa went over to visit Jeff as they knocked on his door. After he had gone bankrupt, he sold most of his properties which included his mansion, and had to buy off a small apartment on the outskirts of town. Harry and Lisa both stood outside for a while staring at the environment, although the house was small it was decorated with flowers that helped beautify the home. “Looks like he found himself a hobby after retirement” Lisa teased seeing how well the plants and flowers were taken care of. His garden lacked no plants at all from tomatoes, peppers, apples, and berries down to large trees that provided fruits and also farm works like cucumber which made life easy for him. “I guess he lost all his friends when he lost his wealth and had to find himself another kind of companion he had to hold onto” Harry commented as he walked closer to the garden, he plunged a piece of tomat
Harry and Lisa both arrived at the precinct, after the last time she was there, she did. not want to visit this place again, but now she was here again and it was to visit those same people that had caused her nothing but harm. They both sat in the waiting area and seeing how nervous she was, Harry held her hand gently. ““Lisa and the dead man that rose again” Eric teased as soon as he stepped in with a disdainful smile that made the pit of Lisa’s stomach curled up in anger. “You know, I should have listened to Charles when I visited him and he kept telling me you were alive and haunting him, I thought that he had gone crazy because this place could make you insane but looks like he was right”He expressed that as he tried to sit down with a cuff around his wrist, Lisa immediately punched him hard in the face and blood began dripping from his nose. “How dare you son of a bitch still have the ability to smile after everything that you have done, how do you even manage to sleep at n
Chapter 220:Hearing that Jeff was diagnosed with such a rare sickness got him on another dimension, just when he thought that perhaps after all the fuss, he could finally make up with his father, in the end, it was all a lost cost. ”I guess you have been diagnosed with such sickness is enough punishment for you, you can leave now, I have no business with you”“Harry…. ”“Leave!! Otherwise, I will be forced to call security to drag you away!! ” He roared at the top of his voice, his eyes filled with fury as Jeff walked away. Harry was not furious about the man, but the fate that he was cursed with and the parent that he longed for all his life was right before him, and he was out of range. He tried to calm himself down while he sat down staring blankly at the computer, a knock came through and Williams stepped in. “Wow! It is so good to have you back at this office. The board is all thrilled with you and would like a meeting with you”“Do they think that this company makes money jus
