"Oh, my goodness! You don't have to do this Michael. Please let me go with my baby." Stephanie said as she continued to cry. "I don't have time for your stupid pleas. All I need is for you to choose one of the two options that I just mentioned. I know you don't have the money to pay all that Mr Cameron had invested into 'The Class of Verity', so the only option you have is to return to Mr Cameron." Michael said."No...No... I will do no such thing. I'm already married to Jakes, and I won't forfeit my relationship with him for any reason." Stephanie said. "Dub! Bring me that baby. The mother isn't ready to cooperate!" Michael ordered. "No! No! No! Don't touch him!" Stephanie screamed out in fear. "I will!" Michael responded."Okay, okay then. I'll return to Mr Cameron. So, can I have my baby now?" Stephanie asked. "No, not yet. You can't fool anyone here. We have to see you return to him first before we release your baby!" Michael said. "I have agreed to return to him, so what else do
"Firstly, I'll like to apologize for whatever my family may have cost you. Especially, not letting you know that I was married. However, on behalf of them, can you give me some ample time to pay all that you invested into 'The Class of Verity'?" Stephanie asked Mr Cameron. She knew the consequences would be so grievous, if she left Mr Cameron without promising to pay back the money he invested into "The Class of Verity." Stephanie knew she and Jakes didn't have that kind of money, but she believed that they could be able to pay the money install mentally, perhaps within some years."Don't tell me that. Should you apologize on their behalf? They lied to me that you weren't married and that the baby in your womb was conceived by a mistake; and it belonged to someone you didn't like to get married to. As if that wasn't enough, your mother also told me that you had always admired me from a distance. And you always talked about how much you couldn't wait to get into a relationship with me
"Hmmm...How many months did you say he gave you to pay the money?" Jakes asked. "Five months," Stephanie replied. "But did you find out how much money it is?" Jakes asked Stephanie. "Yes, it's $1000000," Stephanie replied. "$1000000?" Jakes asked. "Yes," Stephanie confirmed. "But how would he expect you as an individual to pay a sum of $1000000 within five months? Not even a year!" Jakes exclaimed."Yes, I was surprised when he gave me such a short time frame. I guess he knew that I won't be able to afford it, and I would have no other option than to return it to him. But he is wrong because I'm not going back to him." Stephanie said, then she paused for a while."But come to think of it, if that money is not paid within five months, "The Class of Verity" will end up being sold. Then our family will be at risk because the Allisons will come for us very strongly this time around. I know what that wicked family of mine can do..." Stephanie said."But why did you agree to a period of fiv
"So, tell me. What's the latest update about Stephanie and Mr Cameron?" Mr Allison asked Michael. He had demanded to see Michael after working hours so that he could know to what extent things have gone. Mr Cameron gave him a limited time, and he was not ready to watch "The Class of Verity" being sold."The two of them are back together, after so much effort on my part.' Michael said. " Wow! That's great news. There is hope that 'The Class of Verity' will not be sold." Mr Allison said."But, have measures been put in place against her escape from his house? There should be a guard to keep watch on her so that she doesn't leave his house." Mr Allison said. "Yes, I agree. I tried to ensure that, but he asked the guard to leave..." Michael said. "Well, there's nothing you can do in that case. Let us hope she stays with him this time around." Mr Allison said as he sipped some coffee from the cup in front of him."We believe that their relationship will benefit the family in the long run,
Jakes had chosen to claim all of his father's investments in Fitbuck city. Pa Drakes had also written every of the other family properties in his name so that all major profits realized from the investments were transferred into his account, while the rest were used in improving the properties and investments.Now that Jakes had opened up to his wife about his true identity, he decided to live very comfortably. He bought a bigger and more expensive house in the very heart of the city, and a brand new car for Stephanie, while he changed his car to one of the latest cars in town. He employed six servants, four chefs, and four drivers who would drive him and his wife to wherever they wanted to go.Since they changed their location, Stephanie began to look out for another nanny. Even though, she wasn't aware of the evil which Ma Elizabeth committed. After Ma Elizabeth was released, Stephanie asked her about how she and Gerald were kidnapped, but Ma Elizabeth lied that the hoodlums bumped
"Would you believe that Stephanie has left Mr Cameron again this time?" Michael told his parents. It was a Saturday, so he decided to visit his parents to tell them about the recent development. When he entered their compound, he met his Dad and Mum standing before one of the cars in the garage, but he could not wait for them to go in, before breaking the news."Again?!" Mr Allison and his wife asked with a frown on their faces. "Yes. One of Mr Cameron's servants gave me this update over the phone." Michael said. "But, why is this girl proving so stubborn?" Mrs Allison asked, looking perturbed. "She has only shown herself as a bastard. No true child of mine will prefer to stay with a pauper. I do not love suffering, and I don't expect any true seed of mine to." Mr Allison said."But don't worry, Dad, Mum. Leave her to me. Now that I have become the company's CEO, I will not watch Mr Cameron sell off the company." Michael said sternly. "But have you heard from Mr Cameron ever since?" M
"It's high time this nonsense stops! He keeps threatening you. I can't take this anymore. He may have threatened me in the past, but he dares not try it again." Jakes told Stephanie. In recent days, Stephanie had received several threatening phone calls from persons whose identities she wasn't sure of. And she was beginning to get scared for her life and baby. Michael had devised several means of threatening Stephanie so that she could return to Mr Cameron. Michael was not only concerned about the company being sold out, but he intended to use the relationship between Stephanie and Mr Cameron in achieving his financial desires. He knew that if Stephanie remained married to Mr Cameron, he could use her influence in getting money from Mr Cameron. So, his desires made him desperate in making sure that Stephanie returned to Mr Cameron."I'm also tired of this. But I don't know how to stop it." Stephanie responded. "I could just go ahead to report to the police. Because he's a criminal! H
Michael followed the Johnsons outside the garden. He made sure that he wasn't very close enough for them to notice his presence. "What?! Am I dreaming?!" Michael soliloquized, the moment he saw Jakes and Stephanie enter a posh car.He closed his eyes for a few seconds and opened them again. Then he moved closer to them. "What's happening here?!" Michael said aloud. He could no longer hide his feelings. He rushed to look closely at the car. He was so surprised; his mouth was open agape. He noticed the driver in front and the servant who sat beside Jakes and Stephanie."I can't believe this!" Micheal remarked as the driver who drove Jakes and Stephanie zoomed off. Then the two cars behind them followed. All this while, Michael thought that the cars behind were some other persons' cars, until he saw the two of them follow Jakes's car very closely as it zoomed off. "Are those cars his, also?" Michael thought to himself. He began to feel very dizzy and confused. "But how? When did all the
