Clara held her tummy and waist as the pain increased. Bobby rushed to her side and she used him as a support. Lucas wanted to attack Hannah but the security guards of the cemetery led her out. There was a smirk that showed on her face, but she wasn't totally happy either.“ This is impossible! How could she go into Labor when it's not yet seven months. Can this be forced labor? Bobby asked, scared.Clara's pregnancy hadn't reached seven months, so Bobby, including the other people that were aware of when she conceived, was confused.All of a sudden, Lilly shouted and shifted people's attention to Clara's skin color. Clara had turned paler and her skin color changed to blue. Clara checked herself and she lost it, she fainted immediately she noticed the change on her skin.Lilliana's body was quickly laid to the ground and covered with a heap of sand. Justin instructed the people he hired to cement the place, then made a tomb in honor of his wife.“ Let's rush her to the hospital, pleas
“ What did that statement mean, Dad?” Alex and Lilly asked simultaneously.“Lucas might be fortified against any form of poison, but a healer mustn't use his mouth to suck out any poison from his patient’s body. How did you not know this, Dave?” Zach asked “ I'm sorry I couldn't think straight. The pressure on me to find a solution was much, so I couldn't think of any other way. Please forgive me!” Dave apologized.“ Forgive you! You think you deserve forgiveness after leading my son to his death? He is your nephew, you are supposed to discourage him from doing anything unreasonable.” Zach flared in anger.“ Death? My husband will not die. Stop scaring me, Dad, please think of a way out” Lilly said.“ We cannot get any solution until we see the woman behind this attack. She isn't a sorcerer but she had dined with the devil. She went extra miles to get this poison, just to get an irreversible revenge on Lucas. Hannah got the magic to poison Lucas in the first place, not Clara. She had
Everywhere in the compound looked dirty and unkempt. The maids, gardeners and gateman had all resigned when Austin left the house for Hannah. The workers in the house were still enduring because of Austin's good character, but they left immediately they knew Hannah would take over the ownership of the house.Hannah had no workers nor friends, so she was left alone to wallow in her sorrows. A pack of cigarettes was placed on the table with plenty of bottles of alcoholic drinks. Hannah sat on the bare floor in her living room smoking a cigarette with one hand and supplementing it by taking alcohol with the other hand.“ You have turned your living room into a bar and you have turned yourself into a drug addict because your husband left you, don't you have a life of your own?” Zach said as they entered Hannah's living room unannounced.Hannah turned her head to look at the intruder that had the temerity to preach to her in her house. Her eyes were bloodshot because of the smoke, her hair
“ I'm sorry to say Dad, but you are not thinking straight. How could you think of sacrificing yourself?” Alex said furiously“ What else do you want me to do? Should I fold my hands and let my son die? We have just an hour left, someone should bring a knife and bowl this minute!” Zach shouted in anger Alex broke down in tears as he could not think of another way to stop his father. Fate had played a major twisting role in his life. How would he meet his father and have to lose him a few months after? He was distraught and helpless.As Zach moved closer to Lucas' body, Dave's hysterical voice made him halt his step.“ You were tricked by Hannah, nobody is sacrificing his life for Lucas. That evil woman tricked you” Dave shouted.Zach turned around in a confused state, “ Hannah and Lucas's life were connected together, if one dies, the other follows. What nonsense are you saying? Lucas has less than an hour to live, please don't distract me on the mission to save my son” He hissed and
“ What is that bastard doing in the middle of the road? Did his car break down? Was he with any bodyguards?” Alex threw multiple questions at Albert, who was at the front seat.“ I'm not sure if it's only him or he is out with his bodyguard. You know he doesn't usually go out alone in broad daylight, but I'm surprised at seeing only one car, what's his mission here?” Albert questioned.“ What other mission would he have than to finish what he started. He fortified Hannah to kill Lucas. Since he has not heard any news of his death, he must have known our next line of action. I think he came here to distract us with his cunning ways. Don't worry, we will not fall into his trap” Dave saiɗ.Zach hung his head low in shame. He was very angry, but he knew he wasn't a match for his brother, so he kept quiet. Albert was worried about himself. He was still on top of his game, he did visit Lucifer and he had started entrusting him to the family business being the new Ceo. He didn't want him to
“Is that how I could have lost you? I wouldn't have been able to forgive myself if you had sacrificed yourself for me. I'm sorry Dad, I didn't know Hannah could go as far as consulting a sorcerer to punish me.” Lucas said to his Dad.“ Let's thank God Dave came in to stop me from sucking out the poison on time. It's not your fault, Hannah was just too wicked. I noticed she was an unrepentant sinner during our encounter. The woman did not show any signs of remorse, whatsoever for her actions. Thank God Justin was able to talk sense into Lilly also, she nearly volunteered her life for yours” Zach saidLucas turned to Lilly's direction and smiled, she was arranging the cutlery set on the dining table. “ I'm very lucky to have her. She is God sent to me” Lucas said Lucas could not take his eyes away from Lilly, he was lost in thought as he reminisced on how they met. “ Was it fate or we met by coincidence?” He thought.He was so lost in thought while smiling that he didn't know when Lil
“ I know you always cried yourself to sleep since the death of mom, and I know you are lonely. I'm not asking you to replace her with any woman, she will just be here to keep your company. Moreover Ms Marie here is not married, so I don't think there will be any problem if you keep each other’s company” Lilly explained.“ If you want to start your marital life with your husband, I won't stop you. I understand you've been holding yourself back because of me. I don't want you to think it's your responsibility to make your father happy at this lowest period of my life, you have done more than enough, princess. I will be fine alone in my house, so I don't want anybody's company” Justin defended.“ Why are you being stubborn Dad? I can't be at peace in my husband's house, knowing you are alone here. If you want me to be happy, please allow Ms Marie to move in. Mrs Marie, please say something” Lilly let out a frustrating sigh.Marie smiled, “ Sweetheart, I understand you care a lot about yo
Lilly walked down the staircase graciously and she radiated with happiness. She saw her father taking a cup of hot coffee, his normal routine every morning, in the living room. Justin raised his head as she heard her footsteps, she smiled at him, but he didn't return the smile.“ Good morning dad, are you still bothered about what I said yesterday? I was just trying to look out for you, so don't be annoyed with me” Lilly greeted, then she sat beside her father.“ Good morning, princess. Hope you slept well?” Justin asked with a straight face.“ Are you going to be keeping malice with me, just because I wanted peace and happiness for you? Anyways, I have good news for you.” She said joyfully.“ I can only determine the state of the news after I have listened to it. It might be good to you, but bad for me. What is the news” Justin asked.“ Lucas and I have decided to move into the mansion with you. We will stay in the second part of the building for our privacy, but we will wine and din
