Stephanie had been in the hospital for days now. Jakes always made sure he checked on her at the hospital after closing from work. He always sent his servant with food and beverages, when there was a need for them. The pressure he had received from Michelle in the last few days was so much, especially now that Stephanie was not around. She had bombarded his phone with her frequent messages and phone calls, so he made up his mind to avoid her in every possible way. He was now through at work, so he decided to go home. On his arrival home, he saw a blue Toyota car packed close to his house. He wondered who it was because he wasn't expecting anyone. He walked towards his house, opened the door, and walked into the sitting room when he saw Michelle sitting on one of the sofas in the sitting room.Jakes was shocked to see her. "What...?! What are you doing here? And who allowed you in?" He asked, with a frown on his face. Michelle smiled at him, as she stood up from her seat and was abou
"So where did you meet Stephanie?" Mrs Allison asked her husband. "I met her at the hospital." Mr Allison disclosed. "Oh, she deserves to be at the hospital for deceiving Mr Cameron." Mrs Allison said in response. "But why would you say that about your daughter?" Mr Allison asked with a frown on his face. "Since she married Jakes, she has ceased to be my daughter. So don't call her my daughter!" Mrs Allison said. It was obvious that she was frustrated. "The Allison family should be wealthier by now if Stephanie stayed with Mr Cameron. She flopped things up with her lackadaisical attitude. How would someone have the opportunity to live the rest of her life in affluence, yet choose to stay with a pauper? It's really unbelievable." Mrs Allison continued."In the long run, she'll have no choice but to divorce Jakes by the time I'm done with her." Mr Allison said confidently. "You didn't even allow me to finish relating with you details about how I met Stephanie, before saying all that
"Hi, Michael. I've spoken with my Dad about you coming to see him. So, he has fixed a time when he'll be available to see you." Dorothy told Michael."Wow! I'm so excited. So when is the day?" Michael asked. "Tomorrow evening," replied Dorothy. "Okay, then. I'll be preparing towards tomorrow." Michael replied as he hung up the phone. Michael was excited that he was finally going to see Dorothy's father. His plans of having an assess to her family's wealth were close to becoming a reality, so he decided to prepare well towards the day, just as much as he could. He knew that Dorothy's father might want to ask him thought-provoking questions as a well-read elite and billionaire. He called the fashion house he usually patronized for designer dresses and shoes, and he asked them about a certain brand of shirt and trousers which they told him was in stock, so he ordered them. He was determined to appear in his best outfit and to also have a nice haircut. It was late in the evening, but Mic
It was another new day of work for Jakes. Jakes had just completed a virtual meeting with the CEO of one of the top companies in Fitbuck city - Blaze Empire and was about to go for a brief break when he heard a knock on his door. "Please, come in," Jakes said. Then the door was pushed open, and Michelle walked in. After the last incident that had occurred between Michelle and Jakes, Jakes planned to sack Michelle, but he needed something in which he would hide to sack her. "The Legends" was not a one-man establishment, so his actions were subject to careful assessment and scrutiny, so he tried to be careful. Especially, when he knew that he was under close watch.Jakes looked up at Michelle with a frown on his face. "I told you the last time that I don't want to see you again. So what are you doing here?" Jakes asked. "Jakes, its been one week since we saw each other, and I've missed you very greatly. When I could no longer bear it, I decided to come down to your office..." Michelle e
"I and my team will be coming over to The Class of Verity tomorrow." Mr Gordon informed Michael over the phone. "Alright, Sir. We'll be looking forward to your visit." Michael replied.Since Michael showed his interest in marrying Dorothy, Mr Gordon had developed so much interest in him. He believed that The Class of Verity was a big company that his company in Fitbuck city could partner with on an upcoming project.It was 6pm when Mr Gordon called Michael, but Michael found it difficult to sleep until late into the night. He kept thinking about Mr Gordon's proposed visit. He was afraid that Mr Gordon would find out about the real situation of things, but he was still hopeful. Michael was tempted to tell his Dad about what Mr Gordon told him, but he didn't see it as a good idea. "At this stage, I believe Mr Gordon likes me. And even if he finds out that The Class of Verity isn't what he believes it is, or anything else, he wouldn't stop me from marrying his daughter." Michael thought
"Hello, Mr Jakes. Your wife, Stephanie will be delivered of her baby anytime from now. So you'll need to come along with her things to the hospital," Dr Dave said. While Stephanie was being taken to the theatre to deliver her baby, Dr Dave decided to call Jakes."Just like that? But her time isn't due yet," Jakes told the Doctor. "Yes, her life and that of the baby will be at risk, if nothing is done quickly." Dr Dave explained."Alright, Doc. I'll be there anytime soon," Jakes replied. Within a short time, Jakes arrived at Olives hospital. By the time he arrived, Stephanie had already delivered her baby. Jakes walked into the hospital and was directed to Dr Dave's office. "Good day, Doc." Jakes greeted."Good day, Mr Jakes. Congratulations. Your wife has delivered a bouncing baby boy." Dr Dave announced. "Wow! That's great. I'm so excited!" Jakes exclaimed."So, where's the baby, Doc? I can't wait to see him." "He's still in the incubator. You know it was a premature birth." Dr Dave
Michael was now very desperate to find Stephanie so that he could assume the position of the CEO of The Class of Verity once again. He remembered how Mr Allison once told him and his Mum of how he saw Stephanie in Olive hospital, where Dr Dave worked.He thought of seeing Dr Dave, to see if he could get Stephanie's location through her data at his hospital. After closing from work on Tuesday, he drove down to Olive hospital to see Dr Dave. After waiting in the hospital's reception for a while, he was called in by the receptionist. "Mr...Michael, you can now go in." Michael had introduced himself earlier to the receptionist as 'Michael Allison.' "Good Day, Doctor," Micheal greeted, as he walked into Dr Dave's office. "Good day, emmm...Mr Michael Allison," Dr Dave called him by the name the receptionist mentioned to him. He knew Stephanie and Mr Allison so well because they had visited his hospital on different occasions, compared to Michael and Mrs Allison. Over the years, Michael had
"Hello. Am I on to Stephanie Johnson?" Michael asked over the phone. Dr Dave had given him Stephanie's phone contact, so he decided to put a call through. "Yes. Please who am I speaking with?" Stephanie asked in surprise. She wondered who called her by her full name. "Hey, Stephanie. It's Michael your brother. Please, don't hang up the phone on me. I know I have wronged you..." Michael pleaded softly. "Really? You call yourself my brother? Nonsense!" Stephanie said as she hung up the phone angrily. She was still angry at Michael and Mrs Allison because of what they did to her. Now, she was surprised at why Michael was calling her, or what information he wanted to divulge to her this time around. Michael felt pained that he wasn't able to communicate with Stephanie, but he refused to be discouraged. "I'm not going to give up in trying to get across to her; I must find her," Michael told himself. He thought of strategies he could use in getting across to Stephanie; then he remembered J
