2023-04-20 13:27:09When Samson had called Hannah over and over again since the date night, he decided that it was time to visit her place.
At first, he thought that he had offended her, or he was not just someone that she thought she could have a long-term relationship with.
He had been saddened by the thought alone, but he promised that he would not let it discourage him.
He did not want to be too forward, and he had decided that he would never visit her house if she did not invite him.
After the tenth call two days later, he decided that it was time he went to see what was going on with her.
The thought that she might be in danger crossed his m

The cries of the babies were the first thing Declan heard as he stepped into the house, and it irritated him.The second thing that irritated him was the new portraits that Samantha had put up. He was still getting accustomed to the new touch Samantha had put on the house, not because he did not like her idea, but because he had not been enjoying his new married life in the changes she had brought about.He headed to his bedroom, but he did not find her there. He wanted to head out but decided to check the balcony with the pool, and there she was, immersed in the pool in lingerie that she knew was his favorite.That would have turned him on on a normal day, but she had refused him touching her in the past weeks, and it did nothing but irritate him more.

Samson made up his mind. He was going to join them and go get Hannah. He would do anything to see her face again, but when Declan came, he told him that there had been a slight change of plans."We are not working with the police on this one, just the chief," he began."We are not armed men, nor are we trained for this", Samson cried out."Who said we were going ourselves?" Declan asked with a sly smile.Samson knew at this point that Declan had a plan, and it was a good one at that.When they got downstairs, there was a huge vehicle parked there. Samson got in, and his eyes widened in surprise. Men in black suits and shades were in the vehicle.

The flight back home was silent, but Declan never took his eyes off Hannah. He was overly cautious of her well-being. The past few weeks had been hectic for him. Samson had to go back to work and he was left alone to cater to Hannah. He had urged Samantha to help out since she did not go to work, but she blatantly refused and walked away. He had been saddled with the entire responsibility, but all that was on his mind more than anything was for her to get better. Samson called every day to ensure that she was doing okay. He had been equally worried about her, and when he made sure that everything was going fine, he would be relaxed.The day Hannah spoke to him, he was overly excited. One could tell from how he gloated over the phone. He had promised to come visit as soon as he found the time. Declan could not deny that he had his battles too. His eyes were on Hannah, but his mind was elsewhere. Samantha had finally come home after so much plea. He was getting tired of it all, as

Ferdinand was not going to the restaurant with as much enthusiasm as he would have before. He had not yet been able to get over what Abigail had done to him, and anger still surged through him. He still loved her, but he knew he would not condone what she had done. She had called him countless times over the past week, but he had refused to answer her. She finally stuck to a voicemail and pleaded with him that they should meet. He had ignored it twice, but at last, he sent her a message that said he would give her an audience.As he went his way, he thought about Declan. They had not been best friends lately because of something that still seemed like an enigma to him. He had barely found the time to talk things over with him, as he had been in the city with Daniel, who seemed harmless, probably because he had not disclosed his identity yet. He knew he was treading on eggshells, but he decided that the risk would be worth it at the end of the day. He was still his son.As he ente

Declan sat in his office with the blinds down and the curtains dimmed. He wanted to take some more time in the office so he would not go home to Samantha. A few ladies have agreed to be surrogates for them, and she wanted them to make a decision together on who was perfect for the task. He dreaded it.Over the past few weeks, they had managed to sort out their differences and live their normal lives as a couple. He had suggested the vacation to her, but she wanted to make sure that there was a baby on the way. She had even let him touch her on a cool night. He had come home from the office very late, and he only intended to have a cold bath and lay down to rest, but there she was, looking her attractive best, something he could not resist. He could remember how his tiredness had disappeared instantly and was replaced by a sudden excitement as he got to work.She had refused to get pregnant, though. When they went to see the doctor about it, they were told that it would be quite di

Ferdinand did not know what to expect as he made haste to meet Declan in the office. He had just come from the city and was elated that Abigail had agreed to marry him. He had been skeptical about making that decision, not sure of how she would take the news, but he had decided to take the bull by the horns regardless, and it had turned out well. She had let out a little cry before she gave in, but he liked how reserved she was, and how she was not with him because he could make her life easier, but because she loved him.Andrew was already at the airport when he arrived to pick him up. He was bubbly with excitement and had let the cat out of the bag immediately. "I am very happy for you, sir," Andrew stated professionally. Ferdinand had never seen him lose his cool to flare up or jump in excitement, but he did not mind.Declan was on a phone call when he stepped into the office. He could not remember the last time he had been inside it. He had not been present or briefed on the re

Samantha saw it in his expression when he entered the bedroom. She was getting ready for a shower, as she had come back early from the office. She had not bothered to wait for him, as she had seen Ferdinand go into his office. She knew that they would spend a lot of time there. She smiled at him as he got inside, but he did not smile back. She knew something was amiss.She moved to him and wrapped her hands around his neck with just a towel tied around her body. "I saw your dad enter your office," she began. "How did it go with him?" She asked. He looked at her briefly before he removed her hands and began to undress. He slumped on the bed afterward. She knew he was not happy about something."What is wrong Declan?" She asked him. He looked down at her before he replied."I don't think that I would be working in my father's firm again", he replied almost immediately. The news came as a shock to her, and she hoped that he was not hellbent on the decision."What do you mean?" She a

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
