2023-06-23 12:05:26As Declan stepped into the party arena, his eyes scanned the whole place for Samantha. He needed to especially appreciate her for what she had done for him.
She helped him save face with Louis. He knew that she said she was going to do her research, but she had not been joking about it at all.
She had dug out his records, including his dubious business deals. The amazing part was that she had it all on paper, which she duplicated and shared with all members of the board when she came in.
They were surprised at it all and they all came to an agreement that Lucas be sanctioned.
Declan thought about how much he had been sabotaged in the past. To avoid that sort of event, he made a final decision that Louis

Hannah was looking forward to seeing Samson later in the day. She no longer anticipated seeing Kennedy and she had told him not to bother about coming to pick her up until she asked him to."I will keep looking after you nevertheless," Kennedy said to her. His words were thoughtful and as he walked out of her room that morning.She had not taken out time to take in the handsome man that was her bodyguard. He was tall, well-built, and overprotective of her. Something about the way he carried out his duty, always in a pair of shades fascinated her. He was also a gentleman to the core and she wondered if he had someone he was with already.She called Samson after the morning session but he was not answering his phone. She tried three more times but he would not answer. It left

Hannah lay on her bed, crying profusely with her phone in her hand as she looked through the pictures on the internet. She could not believe that Samson would ever do this to her, right under her nose. She could not believe that she was so carried away by her longing for companionship that she had not noticed his plans all along. He got married in the morning and was on a chopper with her in the afternoon. It was probably his way of getting back at her. If it was, then he did so well for himself. She looked through the social media profile of the girl he had married. She was the daughter of an Australian business mogul, and he owned half of the city. The girl was a Harvard graduate that managed a

Hannah jumped off the bed immediately and it startled Kennedy who stood up and began to get dressed."Get out of my room," she shouted at him."Can you calm down?" He asked her gently. She would not hear of it."I said get out," she shouted again, pointing at the door.Kennedy seemed embarrassed as he walked out of the suite not fully dressed. He could probably use a bathroom nearby.She headed into the bathroom immediately to have her bath. Her flight was in an hour and she did not want to miss it. She would find something for her throbbing headache on the way to the airport.As she got out with her bag, Kennedy rushed

They soon sat down to a bottle of wine and Declan decided to go first.After the hotel argument, Samantha went ahead to discuss parenting and adoption with Anthony and he was more than willing to do so with her even if he had no idea that they were doing things behind his back.Anthony went ahead and joined the rest of the party leaving them both with a heavy tension between them."What are you playing at?" He asked Samantha."I don't understand what you mean," she said to him and took a sip of her drink."I can as well go up there and tell Anthony everything that has been going on at his back between me and his perfect girlfriend," he said.

Samantha read through the message again as she could not believe her eyes. Just when she was having a change of mind towards their relationship, he decided to switch up on her.She felt something tug in her throat, something that looked like nausea, a certain kind of irritation that made her lightheaded. The thought of losing Declan was what did it to her.She wanted to refrain from going to Declan's mansion but it was obvious she did not have any choice. It was at this point that she realized that she may not be able to give him what he wanted as well.She dialed Anthony's number but he did not answer on the first and second ring.He was probably carried away by the party. It was the way he was. H

Hannah had been particularly excited to attend work on Monday morning, not just because she loved her job, but because she was also giddy with excitement about her new promotion."You know that I am so proud that you achieved this all on your own," Declan said to her at the end of the night before she left for home. He was one person that would believe in her no matter the cost, and his saying he was proud of her was all she needed to hear.Sometimes, she wondered how a person could be so good. They had had their share of differences in lives, but he had been quick to put it aside and support her wholly on her career path.She took out her favorite scrubs and placed them on the bed as she went to have her bath. She sang and danced excitedly as she had her bath, punching her hand in the air as she did so.She was still dancing as she dressed for work. She decided that a little makeup would not hurt anybody. She dabbed her face with some powder and applied a bit of gloss to her lips.Wh

"Kennedy?" Hannah began in disbelief. Just when she was about to put the memories of Australia behind her, here was one showing up before her in flesh and blood. She could not believe her eyes.He was looking strikingly handsome as usual, but this time, he did not look like a bodyguard. He was on a pair of scrubs as well and she was confused about what was happening."What are you doing here? Why are you in scrubs?" She asked him, needing answers to every confusion in her head."I can explain everything, Hannah," he said to her. "Just give me a listening ear," he added.Just then, the MD appeared by the door of the office."What is going on here?" He asked. Hannah did not know if he knew that Kennedy was her bodyguard in Australia, one she had a one-night stand with too. She was also careful of her reputation which was closely linked to her new position. She decided not to overreact."I was just on my way to your office sir," she said, feigning a smile. "I was just saying hello to our

Hannah was not happy to see Samson at all. She had wanted to invite him at her own time and her convenience, but Declan chose to make her plans futile.She did not say anything to either of them as she entered her house and Declan knew that she was not happy with the arrangement he had made for them.He asked Samson to wait in the living room while he followed her into her bedroom."What is he doing here?" She asked him as she dropped her bag on the bed."He pleaded with me to help him come see you," he said."Oh, so now, Samson needs your help to come to see me?" She retorted. He was quiet."What is eating him up that suddenly, he cannot come to see me on his own?" She asked Declan with her voice elevated. Declan signaled at her to bring down her voice but it irritated her more."Please, just come and hear what he has to say," he pleaded with Hannah. She decided to do so anyway because he had been a good person to her."I'm doing this because you are involved," she said as she headed

It had been over two months since the doctor told them that their babies had high chances of survival as they showed massive improvements with their treatment. Samantha had stopped going to the office totally, and Declan had requested that an office space to be set up in the executive ward for him. Lucy was getting so much better and she was able to breastfeed the children as Samantha had required of her. It was as though they were living in the hospital with their children. Declan's heart swelled with joy with every inch that was added to their height, and every iota of flesh they put on. He would spend most of his time looking down on his boys, wondering if it was the same way his father looked at him and Daniel when they were babies. As he thought about Daniel, the events of the court's final verdict the previous week all came rushing back to him. He had always dreamed of the day Daniel would be sentenced to prison, and he would rejoice and rub it in his face. But on

Samantha was the first to notice his dazed expression once he was done with the phone call. He entered the private chamber of his office and stayed there.When she saw that he was not going to come out anytime soon, she went in there to search for him. "A celebrant can't leave his party, you know," she began in an attempt to lighten up his sour mood. He looked up at her and would not say a word. "What is going on?" She finally asked him. He dreaded saying anything to her. The news that he had just heard was capable of breaking her, and he did not want that for her. "You don't need to worry about it. I will fix it," he replied. "I did not ask you if you could fix it," she said. "I asked what was the matter," she was insistent. "Abigail just called me and she informed me that Lucy was rushed to the hospital," he finally spilled. "What are you talking about?" She asked, very bewildered. "Lucy was rushed to the hospital," he repeated. "And what are you doing about it?" She asked

The news about the court case had spread like wildfire, but Declan was not disturbed because he was on top of the case, gaining some level of victory over Daniel. The best part of it all was that he now had the judge on his side without having to try so much. It was in the course of these coincidences that he learned of the good legacy that his father had left behind because of his good deed. The judge had told him how he knew his father. When he kicked off his career as a barrister, he encountered different types of attacks from his rivals on the court. It was very unsafe for him and he was always running. One particular night, some armed men attacked him and beat him up so much that one could hardly recognize him except if they looked closely. He went about, knocking on doors and asking people for help, but no one would attend to him, especially because it was very late at night. They thought he was a thief or killer in disguise.Ferdinand was the only one who opened up to him.

Declan's eyes did not leave Georgina as she walked up to the witness box. He wondered what it was that she wanted to be a witness to. He saw the way she quivered as she stood there and he suspected that she had been coerced into doing what she did. He listened closely to her as she spoke, saying her vow on the holy book, even though everything that would come out of her mouth was all going to be lies. She did what he least expected. She said to the hearing of everyone in the court that she was raped by Declan the first time she came to be a surrogate for them.Declan was too stunned to say a word at all and just kept his eyes on her. She was crying bitterly. Looking intently at her, he was forced to wonder if these were just fake tears to back up her lie, or if it was a sign that she regretted betraying him. Daniel could have been the one coercing her to do this, but he did not say anything. His eyes still followed her as she walked down the witness box. She glanced at where Dan

If Declan could have collected all the pieces of evidence and witnesses he wanted in just a week or a month, it would not have been sufficient. But it took him three months, with Samantha solidly behind him. Micheal was not left out of the entire planning process for Daniel's court case. All they wanted to do was get him out of the way as soon as possible. To take down someone like Daniel, who hardly left any stone unturned or left loose ends, they needed to be well prepared, and Declan insisted that they were going to prepare well. The surrogacy plan kicked off in the second month. Lucy was giving off so many dangerous side effects at first that they kept wondering if her body could hold a child. She knew what she had gone through to produce a child that her body did not agree to. The one time that she thought she was close, was when the incident with Daniel happened. But Lucy's body adjusted afterward to the treatment. She began to respond positively and soon, she fell pregna

Declan paced about in the bedroom endlessly and Samantha was beginning to get dizzy from following him with her eyes. "You are going to bore holes in this floor if you don't stop pacing so much," she said to him. "That boy is making me go crazy," Declan said as he rubbed his forehead in exhaustion. Samantha wondered if it was Daniel he was calling a boy, but she resolved that there was no better way to refer to someone so petty than a boy. "What did he do this time?" She asked him gently, not wanting to piss him off further."He fired the entire members of the accounting department before I could come to the office," Declan complained. Samantha was left to wonder if Daniel was going insane or not. She had never seen someone that acted so much on impulse in an instant. He was so quick to act that one would think that he was not thinking at all. "I thought he was no longer CEO.""I nullified what he did immediately after I got the notice.""Then what are you worried about?""Don't

Samantha had never been pleased to hear the news before. Declan's agreement to still go ahead with having a child despite the Georgina drama was like music to her ears. She had not bothered to pester him about it anymore, as she did not want him to say he was right after all about Georgina. Instead, she had been more intentional about living her best life. She thought of the children back at the country home. They were enough to suffice for what she could not have. "Do you want to do an adoption or should we still search for a surrogate?" She asked him, deciding to lay all the cards on the table so they could deliberate together. She was not going to be selfish this time. Having a child was going to be a big step for them. It was not the financial aspect that bothered them. Declan's companies and businesses were worth an amount that could feed an entire city comfortably."We are both hoping to carry our child in our hands someday, so I guess surrogacy would not be a bad idea," he

"I will have to leave very early today," Micheal informed Declan ahead of time. He did not want to be faced with the challenge of having so much work that he could barely manage any spare time. "You have a date with your girlfriend, I guess," Declan said as he looked up at Micheal."Let's not say it's a date," Micheal began, blushing lightly. "It's just a little thing that I do with her every month," he explained. "What is that?" Declan asked, not feeling bad about prying. It was the same thing Micheal did as well. He could swear that Michael knew so many things about him that Samantha had yet to find out. He was very observant and he loved that about her. "We go to the prison for a visit before we head to the orphanage," Micheal said. "Shonda said she wants to own an NGO in Africa in the future, so this is a good start for us."Declan was highly impressed by this agenda. His father ran several orphanages and charitable homes before he died. It was conferred on him in the will. He

Daniel had been very cranky the entire week. First, all the money that he stole from the company's account had magically returned to it, and it still surprised him that they found out about the offshore account. He also received news that Declan hosted a birthday party over the weekend. He had not been invited nor did he have any knowledge about it. He knew what he could do with the knowledge of such a gathering. He was angry because, after months of being CEO, he had still not successfully convinced the board why he should take over the house. The will stated that it was primarily Declan's inheritance, and there was nothing that he could do about it. Declan, on the other hand, had suddenly banned him from entering the house. The security around it was toughened up so that no matter how much he tried to meander his way in, he would not succeed. This morning, Declan called for a board meeting that he said was going to be used to pass some information. He wished he could stop De
