2023-07-04 12:50:36Hannah was skeptical about her impending date with Kennedy. He had disturbed her so much for one in the hospital space that she finally agreed.
She had gotten so fond of him in the hospital that whenever she came to work, she looked forward to seeing him. Some members of staff were beginning to suspect something brewing between them. Some even regarded them as the love birds in the hospital.
But Kennedy was nice to her. He would opt to take her to work and bring her home safely if they were working the same shift. He brought her coffee at intervals in the office and when he got to know that she liked muffins to go with them, he would always buy some from a nearby store.
Asides from his gestures toward her, he was also a fantastic surgeon. She did not believe what she h

Patricia's thoughts were constantly focused on what Daniel had said to him. She knew that he was a loser, a philandering husband, and a deadbeat dad, but at the end of the day, in the past, she knew that she lived the life she wanted. He always had money to throw her way. She went on incessant shopping sprees even without knowing the whereabouts of her husband most of the time. When she hung out with her friends, she was always the cynosure of all their eyes. She wore the most expensive outfits and carried about designer bags on her arm. Looking back at her past life, she was living the luxurious life that she had always bargained for. People talked everywhere and had a lot of bad things to say about Daniel and his philandering ways. Some said that she was in the marriage because she could not survive on her own. But she cared less. Daniel had never brought another woman into their home and had never spoken about ending their marriage. But he was vile with his schemes and his consi

Samantha was soon done with her phone call on the balcony, and she turned around to re-enter Declan's private suite.Anthony had been trying to get a hold of her. Even though she had ignored him for a whole month, she decided that there would be no harm in hearing him out.She was quiet most of the time during the call as she let him speak. Anthony had been abused by his father as a little boy, and that had increased his sexual appetite for men even though he was attracted to women. He only slept with men if he wanted to get something out of his mind. However, he had intentions of falling in love with a girl and getting married to her in the long run. He sounded so pathetic that, as much as she wanted to doubt him, she had no option but to believe him. He had been a good man to her, and this was probably the only dishonest thing that he had done to her. They had finally agreed to become good friends and move on with their respective lives. He concluded by saying that he knew that

Hannah was not too focused on the meeting that was going on in the boardroom as she and Kennedy kept stealing glances at each other. Since she saw that message on his phone, she developed some form of attitude towards him. She liked him as a person, but she had been through so much for her to trust one more person, especially at the sight of a cause for suspicion. He had been that way even in Australia. Unpredictable. You could not fathom what he was up to easily, but you could know he was up to something. That was the same feeling that crawled up in her belly since she saw him at the hospital and was introduced as the MD's son. Dr. Pat's warning only fueled her suspicions. "Miss Hannah?" She heard her name called out. When she looked around, everyone's eyes were on her. She had been lost in her thoughts and had not been fully focused on the meeting and here she was, trying to fathom what was being asked of her. "I'm sorry, but I did not get you," she said, trying not to s

Samson seemed like a breath of fresh air to Hannah. Kennedy had been all up in her space, but when she had managed to tell him off, he had refrained from going after her anymore or coming to her house.She was not happy that he had something up his sleeves, something that he would not let her know about.All she wanted was to be sure that he was not out to harm her, but he was not saying anything either.Samson had called her the previous day and said that he would be coming to the island for some business with Declan.

When she was sure that it had stopped raining, Patricia decided that it was time to go see Daniel. He had arranged a meeting for them over the phone.He had managed to slip her a phone number that she could use to call him if she had any information for him.She could not go anywhere with her son and she thought that it would be a good idea to stop at Declan's place and keep the child in the care of a nanny before she left.When she got to Declan's mansion, she already knew that he was in the suite on the top floor and would not be able to come downstairs because he had been confined to a wheelchair."What are you doing here?"

Declan finally came to the end of his paid-in-full physiotherapy session. He had anticipated this final session for so long that he had asked the doctor to come a bit earlier so they could be done with it on time.The past two months have been rough and he knew that it helped greatly.At least, he could stand fully on his two feet and take steps without any help.Although, he could still use the wheelchair whenever he got exhausted or needed to get somewhere faster."I have something for you," he said to the doctor as he packed up his stuff. The doctor turned around and Declan took out a cheque and handed it to the doctor."This is ten thousand

Hannah regretted putting up a challenge to Samantha about bringing a man to the Capetown trip. She was not in any stable relationship and she had no idea about what to do.Samson was not coming to the trip, so he was already out of her list. Just then, the thought of Kennedy clicked in her head.Her excitement dwindled when she remembered that he was still angry about what he saw between her and Samson that day.She would have a big explanation to do, but in the end, she would succeed in convincing him to come on the trip with her.

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
