“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
Driven by the urgent call of his wife, Lucas rushed to his car and drove to Bobby's house. Alex and Albert could have followed him, but Zach cautioned them to stay back. He didn't want Clara to be overwhelmed with fear when she saw many people in her house. The trauma of Lilliana’s death had not left her yet. A strange person would think she was Lilliana's biological daughter, with the way she kept crying everyday.Lucas met them at Bobby's parking lot. Clara was being held by Lilly and Bobby following behind them with a stack of baby things they would need in the hospital.Clara was squeezing her face and she was blowing out air from her mouth every second. She was consumed with the pain and contraction of labor, so she couldn't acknowledge Lucas's presence.Lucas rushed to help Bobby with some of the luggage and he tapped him.“ Is it time yet? The pregnancy is just seven months old” Lucas asked worriedly.“ Yeah, she had been enduring contractions for like two days now. She has tur
Lilly was petrified as she saw the furious look on her father's face. Her legs were hooked to the ground as a result of fear that consumed her. She knew she had disappointed her father by not calling him when Clara was brought to the hospital.Justin had been eager and envisioned to be the first person to welcome his dear friend’s baby. Lilly knew he was hurt and she felt guilty as he approached her.“ Dad…I”, Lilly statement was cut short by Justin angry response “ Shut your mouth this minute, I don't want to hear anything from you” Justin Hissed, then he faced his friend who was still shedding tears of joy.“ Congratulations buddy, finally I'm happy to be someone's godfather. I'm happy for you Bobby, you deserve all the happiness in this world” He said as he hugged Bobby.“ Thanks so much for everything, Justin. You have been supportive to me since our childhood days, I'm grateful I have you in my life” Bobby replied, then he detached himself from his friend's tight embrace.“ Erm,
Clara yawned and she stretched her fore limbs. She found herself on bare sand very close to a river. Everywhere was cool and silent. The chirping of the birds and the sound of the river waves were the only noise heard. The place wasn't familiar to her and she noticed that no human lived in the environment. The scenario was overwhelming, no human and no stead or houses, but wild animals wouldn't be far, because the river was surrounded by thick forest trees.She sat up abruptly as she was consumed by panic and fear.“ What am I doing in a secluded place like this? Where is my husband and Lilly?” She murmured in fear, then her first plan was to run.“ Even if I run, where will I go? Is anybody here? Hello o” she shouted.“ Hello princess! You are awake, ” someone said behind her.“ Mom!” She shouted as she saw Lilliana behind her. She tried to hug her, but Lilliana stepped away from her.In a confused state, she frowned at Lilliana.“ Why are you moving away from me, Mom? I have missed
Justin closed the door to his car as they parked in his garage. He was still angry as a result of the shocking revelation of Clara's refusal to birth another child. The poor woman had not been over the trauma of her first pregnancy, she was being pressured to prepare for another one.He matched inside without looking back at his daughter and son-in-law who followed behind him. He murmured as he stepped into his living room “ What kind of nonsense was she talking about? She didn't have any complications after her first childbirth, she already had the notion of locking up her woman. She better had a change of mind, because I have promised to be a godfather to one of my friend's children” he spoke in anger as he entered the house.“ Give her some time to get over her trauma, maybe she would have a change of mind. Moreover, you can still be the godfather to my children” Lilly tried to pacify her father.“ How will I be a godfather to my grandchildren, when I'm automatically their grandfat
Joy drove into the old folks home parking lot. The care home offered nursing and residential care in a quiet, residential area located at the outskirts of Oslo. The building was surrounded by Sedges which offered a cool and conducive environment for the old people.The care home offered health care ranging from rehabilitation to caring for old people with dementia. They made people with dementia comfortable and safe.The old people were provided with a high level of personal care like bedrooms and sometimes en-suite bathrooms. The qualified nurses employed might be on duty all the time for their proper care.Sometimes, old people were wheeled outside to take fresh air under the Sedges. They carried out exercise with the help of the nurses or caregiver and they often offered social services to them.Lilly was amazed by the beautiful set up of the facility and she was too engrossed with the view that she didn't hear Joy calling her names.“ What is special about this place?” Joy wondered
