After what felt like forever, Harry finally pulled through in his bike, he rode it close to where she stood and handed out a helmet. “ Here, put it on! ”.“ What? Are you expecting me to ride on your bike? ”. She scrunches up her face with disgust. “Didn't you call and say you needed a ride? ”.“ Yes, I did but not on that, I have my car keys”.“ I am not driving your car, get on and enjoy the beautiful air that you have been missing”.“ Whatever! ”.She rolled her eyes at him, accepted the helmet, and carefully hopped in. “ Hold onto tightly, because you are in for a merry ride”. He replied and peddled the ride, her hands immediately clung around his waist firmly and there was a surge of excitement in him as he drove as fast as he could go. The air is cool and as Harry peddles through the street, the streetlight cast pools of lights on the pavement. Lisa could feel the wind blowing through her hair with a sense of freedom that was overwhelming, feeling safe around his strong arms
The air around the ward was less enthusiastic as soon as the two men left. “ Harry, what is going on, how did you get your hands on such a black card? ”.She asked and Emily widened her eyes and ears, curious at what his reply would be. “ You do not have to worry about where it came from, what matters is that we were able to find a way”.“ But Harry…. ”. Lisa tried to speak but Emily cut her short, drifting closer to him. “ Thank you so much for this, for once you have finally proven to be a worthy son-in-law”.“ Thank you so much, Harry for your help, once I get back on my feet, I promise to pay you back”. Collins expresses in a low tone. “ You are not paying back anything Collins, He is paying back for everything we have done for him all these years”. Emily exclaimed but Lisa grabbed away the black card from her and dragged Harry outside. “ Harry I want you to tell me only the truth and nothing but the truth, How did you get such a platinum card? ”.“ The truth is that it doesn
Lilly had spoken to Mr. Eddie before arriving at the venue and he assured her that she was on the list of lead models, but now it seem to be a different conversation with Lisa. “ What do you mean my name is not on the list? ”. Her voice increased a bit as she spoke and other models suddenly stopped what they were doing and were now watching her. “ Only lead models get to wear my Berry Glory design and I was given a list of those that would be wearing it and you are not on my list”.“ Then maybe your list is wrong, Get Mr. Williams on the phone and confirm with him”.“ I am sorry Lilly, but I am too busy for that, Ms. Carmel will be here soon and I wouldn't want to disappoint her”.“ Yeah! So am I the one that needs to be disappointed? ”. Lilly asked, feeling the rage slowly fueling inside of her. Lisa scoffed loudly giving her a sarcastic glare. “Of course Lilly, you are a disappointment! ”. She exclaimed and all the models watched in awe wondering what Lilly would do because she h
Lilly gulped down some saliva and cracked her throat before she finally spoke in a frightened state. “ I am sorry, what did you just say to me? ”.“ You are six weeks pregnant Ms. Roderick and your baby doesn't look too healthy, I suppose that is because you were on a diet”.“ Nurse! Is this true! Am I pregnant? ”.“ Yes ma and we have informed your husband, he should be here any minute”.“ What!! You did what? ”.“ Is there a problem Ms. Roderick? ”.“ No, not at all” she replied trying to hold back the tears, and just then the door swung open with Charles stepping in. His eyes were dark red, his gaze deep and he glared at her like he was going to devour her. “ Oh! Speaking of, Mr. Roderick, welcome Sir! ”.“ Thank you, Nurse, what was that you were saying on the phone? ”.“ Your wife here is six weeks pregnant and is malnourished, I mean I get that she is a model and needs to look fit and slender at all times, but now there is a baby involved, she will need to eat a lot more, she
“How dare you scoff at Grandma like that, you think because your daughter was able to land one success you can speak to any of us like that! ”. Eric roared. “Eric Calm down and let me talk to her, I have always known Emily to be reasonable”. Grandma Maria turned to Emily but her eyes were filled with tears and they poured out uncontrollably. “Emily dear please Lilly has been trying to conceive since she got married and now she is pregnant, you do understand what it means since you are a mother, she could lose her child”.“Grandma! Lisa is fighting for her life right now, why isn't any of you talking about it! ”. Olivia finally spoke feeling so much pain inside of her. “Will you shut that thing you call a mouth, how dare you speak when others are speaking! ”. Charles rebuked her. “You are the one that should shut up, this is my house and I think that I have every right to say whatever it is that I choose to say! ”. She called into question him. “Olivia that is enough, you should
The next day, Charles was at his office behind the large desk when Mr. Paulos arrived holding a document containing a few pages. “ Good morning sir! ”. Charles stood up and shook hands with him. “ Welcome Mr. Paulos, have a seat while I get you something to drink”.“ That won't be necessary because I have urgent matters to deal with, I could have sent this to your email, but I needed to be sure that we still had a deal”.“ Did you get anything on that lunatic? ”.“of course, I have my ways, when are we receiving the narcotics you promised? ”.“ It is getting shipped in today, you will be able to receive it by the end of tomorrow”.“ I am holding you on your words, he is not someone that we should be too afraid of, I held him in high regard but now I fully understand why he would want to keep his identity hidden”. Paulos explained and placed the document on the desk, Charles anxiously grabbed the document and evolved it. His eyes scanned through the files, and as he read through th
They both finalized their business deal before Williams who stood behind Harry all this while, came forward to the table and placed there with a page opened. Mr. Johnson carefully took his time to go through the document page by page before signing it, once they were through with the signing process, Paulos cracked his throat, drawing their attention over to him.“ Mr. Harry, how about we discuss my business plan with you”“What are you into if you don't mind me asking and what kind of business deal would you like to offer me?”“ I own a Company in Singapore that is into the exportation of cars”“I am sorry about that, but I won't be able to help you because I don't deal with cars”“I am not asking you to invest in my company, I have a better business proposal for you and I hope that we can have a private conversation”“That won't be a problem, I will set that up then maybe you can come over to my office”“That sounds great!” A deep smile appeared on Paulos's face as they both shook
Charles still filled with rage did not realize the blood that filled everywhere, The maid who was striding into the living room seeing the scene that was unfolding immediately dashed out of there. Although Charles heard the sound of the door swinging open, he was still engrossed with his rage and did not bother to check on the noise, he lifted the vast again ready to pounce on her, but the amount of blood on the floor scared him and he instantly threw the vast away. “Lilly! Lilly!!” He called out, panting heavily. “Lilly I know that this is your way of trying to get away from this, So get up and I promise not to hit you again”He exclaimed again but her body remained unmoved, blood gushing out from her head and body, and slowly its color was varying. “Lilly please get up and we can talk about this?” He called out again, and this time in a pleading tone but there was no word from her nor was there a reaction, Charles squatted down close to her and checked her pulse, but everything w
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
