"Father!" Monica screamed as she watched her father, collapsing on the floor."Father!" She called again but no response.She immediately bent down with her father, trying to tap him to go standup but all her efforts proved to be abortive.She knew the worst had happened. The Roberts chairman didn't tell anybody when he was searching on the internet for the best place to invest his money.He came across the company and he went there.On getting there, he was told a sum of one million dollars would be paid to his account every month if he could invest one hundred million dollars. Then, after two years, his capital will be returned to him with an additional ten percent.Since the company was registered and a government-issued identity number was shown to him, he was convinced that the deal was real.He didn't have up to one hundred million dollars to invest but he invested the total sum of forty-five million Dollars and he ordered another car since his former car had been sold. He just
Immediately Anita was rushed to the hospital, and the nurses on duty wheeled her straight to the VIP ward. It's no longer a new thing that they have recognized her as the Billionaire's wife, coupled with Darren who also carried her inside.For thirty minutes, the doctors and nurses didn't come outside. After a while, one of the nurses came outside and Darren noticed that she ran back with two pints of blood, he became more worried.Jamal, Stella, and Maya were also there, including Easton. Darren's cloth was full of blood but he didn't pay attention to it. All he wanted was to hear that his wife and baby were okay.His happiness was cut short when the doctor came outside after what seemed like forever."Mr. Walter" he called, walking towards Darren."How is she?" He asked, losing patience already."She is now stable but I'll need you in my office" the doctor added.He led the way to his office while Darren followed behind. Others were still looking at them but none of them could say a
Back home, it was already in the morning, when Ola and Monica woke up from a tapping of a nurse, indicating that their father had woken up and asked if they would like to see him.Both rushed into his ward, where he was taken to, overnight.Indeed, their father had woken up and he was glaring everywhere.Shortly after that, their brother also joined them."Where am I?" Was the first question that their father asked."It's a hospital, Father," Ola replied, feeling excited that did he woke up well."Hospital? What am I doing here in the hospitals?" He asked again."Don't you remember? You collapsed when you found out that all your hard-earned money had gone!" Monica sniffed in the tears that were threatening to fall."Are you talking about the ten dollars that my uncle gave me? Where is it? I need my money, you all need to find my money" he began to cry like a child."Ten dollars? Uncle?" The trios were surprised to hear that."Moreso, who are you? Are you all my uncle's friends?" He qu
"The cookies Miss Cecelia brought were poisoned" Easton dropped the bombshell."What!" Darren exclaimed, louder enough to wake Anita up from her sleep but instantly left her room."Get me all the information about the chef who made the snacks" Darren instructed, then hung up the call.He was confused about two things. If Cecelia was aware of the miscarriage, how would she have the effrontery to bring back the same cookies, knowing it was poisoned?Also, from her expression earlier, it was obvious that she cares about Anita. Angel was only speaking about what happened at the hall earlier, not minding the discomfort on Anita's face but Cecelia was advising her to move on, telling her the baby would come back soon."Something is wrong somewhere" he mumbled and went out of the hotel room.★★★★★"How are you feeling now?" The doctor asked Cecelia, whose face had turned pale already as a result of purging."It's getting better," she murmured since she was very weak.Suddenly, there was a kn
"Who sent you?" Darren asked in a hoarse voice that was echoing in the entire building. His voice was loud enough to the extent that it made Jacob flinch."Nobody sent me," he replied, which made Easton waste no time in slapping him. The slap made the old Jacob weary to the extent that he fell on his sofa.He stood up again, holding his cheek that was already burning with the slap."Master, see" Easton called Darren's attention to the pictures that were pasted on the wall.They were all angel pictures from when she was young to when she reached her current age. Some of the pictures were sketched while some were printed and others were from the magazine's cover.Jacob noticed that both were engrossed with the picture and saw it as an opportunity to escape.He was about to open the door that was initially locked by Easton when Easton saw it.He picked the picture frame that was closer to him and threw it at Jacob, targeting his leg."Argh" he groaned in pain as the frame hit his leg.
"I want you both to tell me the exact punishment that suits your offenses," he asked."W-wh-what!" Irene began to shiver.As long as the Angel won't be involved, it's okay by Jacob."I'm waiting and I'm not going to wait forever, I need to go back to my wife before she wakes up," he added, checking his wristwatch again."Sir, please. Just forgive me. I promise that I won't do that again, please" Irene begged, she didn't want to imagine the kind of punishment that Darren might give them."A life was lost and it wasn't just anybody but my first child. Do you think you both deserve forgiveness?" He roared like a lion."I was the one that engaged her in this evil. Can you just let her go, please? I'll serve her punishment along with mine" Jacob uttered."Unfortunately, it doesn't work that way. She accepted because her mind was also full of evil" Darren replied before he got interrupted by a call."Father," he said. He wasn't surprised to see his father's call in the middle of the night,
The Roberts chairman kept giggling as he was licking the ice cream. Others were stunned when he talked about his age being five years old.Ola was embarrassed, she didn't know what to do next."Mom, is it possible for the old man to be five years old?" A little girl asked her mother. The mother was perplexed and didn't know what to say."Hi, I'm Raymond Robert, and you?" The Robert chairman walked to the girl and introduced himself."Mom, you look scary. Can you take him away from here?" The girl cried."Can you please take him away? My daughter is not feeling comfortable with his present" the girl's mother told Ola.Ola, in an embarrassed mood, walked closer to her father."Let's go home, others are waiting for us" she muttered sadly."Can't we stay to play small?" He asked, Ola was getting frustrated. She was the one who suggested that he should be allowed to buy the ice cream, now, she was regretting it."We need to buy pizza along the way, or else they would be closed already befo
"Welcome home, daughter," Jason smiled.Anita was stunned, she wasn't expecting the mighty Jason Walter to welcome her with his open arms, despite her room."Thank you sir" she mumbled, feeling shy but Jason burst into laughter."You don't need to be shy, daughter. Come closer and embrace me. I've been waiting for this opportunity for a long time" he motioned to her to come closer.Even on the television, Jason had not smiled before but seeing him laughing amazed her. She wanted to embrace him too but she was scared, not sure if the smile was real or it was faked.She stared at Darren, who gave her a nod to move closer.Sluggishly, she moved closer to Jason and he embraced her.After the hug, his laughing face suddenly turned frowning."Gosh! Is this not the same man that was giggling a few minutes ago? What happened? Am I not smelling nice? Was he pretending to like me?" She thought."I'm sorry for what happened but be rest assured that those criminals won't go unpunished" he pledged
