Bianca exclaimed as they walked into the hangar.There was a sparkling white jet with the name: Lockwood Enterprises, Inc. written across the body of the jet in large black Italic lettering."Seems like someone has never been on a plane before," Stella said, loud enough for Bianca to hear.Bianca rolled her eyes at her and rolled Jeffery and her luggage towards the jet."Jane, are you really sure about this?" Caleb turned to her and asked again. "Are you really comfortable with this arrangement?""I'm fine, Caleb. We all need this break anyway.""Yes, I know we do. But I'm not sure about Bianca and Stella coming.""Let's not worry about them, Caleb. I have you and you have me. That's all that matters."Caleb smiled and reached out to smoothen her hair that was blown about by the wind."I guess Miami would be better with you around," he said and kissed her."Come on," without warning, Caleb scooped her up, bridal style and started towards the sta
CHAPTER 111Diane was filming yet another Instagram live session when Abigail walked into the room.Abigail stopped at the foot of the bed and waited for her to end."... So thank you all for the immense show of love and for all the contributions that have been made. And I hope that all the women out there who are standing up for their rights and not depending on men like Marcus Dreame, would get the freedom they so deserve. Don't forget, I love you all, have a blissful week. Bye!" She blew a kiss at her phone screen and ended the video."That was exhilarating!" She squealed happily and Abigail gave her a small smile."How're you feeling?" Abigail asked as she moved closer and sat by her side."I'm good, really, and I'm sure the wounds can be easily covered with make-up," Diane shrugged and Abigail's shoulders dropped."So why are you still tainting Marcus's image when your wounds aren't really serious?""Aby," Diane sat up. "It's for your good, girl. Marcus doesn't deserve you. If he
CHAPTEE 110"I don't know what it is you're planning in your head, Rose, but whatever it is, I want it to have Caleb and I in the picture. I want you to create a magical moment for the both of us because I didn't come here just to stare at you all in your faces. I am seriously running out of time here!" Stella said."I will," Rose replied and sighed with exasperation."That's why I love you, Rose," Stella blew her a kiss. "Oh, it's going to be such a wonderful time there and I'm sure Caleb would barely be able to resist my body when he sees me glowing under the sun!" Stella said dreamily."I don't know, Stella, he and Jane have grown quite inseparable in the past few weeks.""I know. And that's why you're going to help me, right?" Stella asked. Her voice now had a threatening edge to it."Or do you want me to...""Fine, I'll try my best, Stella!" Rose threw her hands up in the air with despair."Good. I want you to make the announcement after dinner tonight."As Stella bounced out of
CHAPTER 109"Are you crazy?!" Marcus shouted as his eyes flew wide open.Xavier looked annoyed at the question. "Considering the situation, Mr Dreame, I don't know who's supposed to be asking that.""You expect me to just run off like a fucking coward?""Well if you give it some thought you'll realize how beneficial it could be for you.""Right," Marcus nodded sarcastically. "And what's going to happen to my businesses? Everything I've built here? I'll just leave it and run off because of some silly woman's obviously false negative comments about me?""Do not underestimate the power of a grieved woman's tweet, Mr Dreame," Xavier said with a warning tone."Well thanks for the word of advice, Xavier, but I'm no coward and I know my rights, and I'd like to be taken home now as well, if there are no other sensible things to be said."Xavier stared at him for a few more seconds before he chuckled."Don't say I didn't warn you.""There won't be a need to say such," Marcus cut in sharply."O
CHAPTER 108Hard beds and cold floors were not something Marcus was used to, and so it made him unable to sleep throughout the night.The moon was the only source of light in the dark cell, even though it shone through an insanely small window that Marcus constantly glanced at, as if hoping for someone to climb through it and get him out.He sighed and rubbed his palms over his knees. All of a sudden, he heard a loud clank and he turned sharply to the sound."Mr Marcus Dreame?" A guard asked and shone a torch on his face.Marcus winced and raised his arm to shield his eyes. "Yes, I am.""Please come with me," the guard turned off the light and stood aside for Marcus to pass.Confused, Marcus stood and studied the man closely. He didn't think that he would be released until morning after he would be allowed to make a few calls, so the turn of events fazed him."What's going on?" He asked as he stepped out and looked around. "What time is it?""It's a few minutes past three o'clock. Th
CHAPTER 107Marcus walked briskly into Best Health hospital, desperate to find Abigail. It was the second hospital he had been to and was even willing to search the entire hospitals in the city as long as he would find her.He couldn't believe that she was bold enough to follow through with her plans of getting an abortion, and now, what he had considered as mere bluffing had turned out to be something quite real and serious."Abigail. Abigail Dreame," Marcus said impatiently to the woman at the hospital's front desk."And what's your relationship with the woman you're looking for, sir?""I'm her husband. I need to see her."The woman then put on her glasses and began to look through the list of names on her computer. Marcus drummed his fingers impatiently on the desk as he waited."You say she came in today, sir?""Yes! Yes, she did. She came in this morning if I'm not mistaken," Marcus felt like snatching the laptop from her and searching for Abigail's name by himself."Well, I'm so
CHAPTER 106The hospital reeked of disinfectant and the excessive whiteness was almost blinding: white tiles, white walls, and even the metal chairs they sat on was white."I'm beginning to think this is a bad idea," Abigail whispered to Diane who was also looking nervous and out of place."Well look on the bright side," Diane said to her. "Your modelling career will remain intact. I'm sure there's nothing to worry about.""Miss Abigail?" A nurse asked and Abigail's blood ran cold."Y-yes, that's me," she said standing."The doctor would see you now please," the nurse replied, and gestured towards an office."Can she come along?" Abigail asked pointing at Diane."I'm afraid not, ma'am.""It's fine, Aby, you've got this," Diane said to her.Abigail gulped, took in a few breaths and walked into the office.The doctor was a man, much to Abigail's disappointment. He looked like someone in his early forties but he had already started balding. She turned to the nurse to ask for a female doc
CHAPTER 105"What a coincidence!" Bianca repeated with a stunned look on her face. She squatted to the baby stroller and picked Jeffery up."You didn't tell me you were leading us straight to daddy!""Bianca, what are you doing here?" Caleb asked, each syllable dripping with contempt."You wouldn't believe it, Caleb!" Bianca smiled widely. "Jeffery wouldn't stop crying and I reasoned that he wanted to go out so I decided to take him on a stroll and he began to point towards this restaurant and, of course, every mom would understand what that meant. So here I am!" She slid into the couch besides Caleb who sighed and pressed himself closer to the wall."Wow, this place is awesome, and this couch, damn!" Bianca exclaimed as she pressed her fingers into the soft velvety couch."Bianca, you're not supposed to be here," Jane said, also trying her best to keep her anger in check."Why not? You don't want Caleb to spend some time with his son that you tried to poison to death?"Jane let out
CHAPTER 104Abigail stopped in her tracks and turned to the direction of the voice.Immediately she spotted Jane, her blood began to boil. Jane, on the other hand, was initially happy to see her cousin but when she saw the hostile reaction from Abigail, she felt nervous."What do you want?" Abigail snapped. "To break my nose just like your silly husband did to Marcus? Has he sent you here to beat me up as well? So I can't even have the luxury to grab a cup of coffee anymore?" Abigail ranted. She was obviously not in a good mood."No, Abigail, I don't have any bad intentions towards you," Jane said in the calmest voice she could muster and moved closer to her."Don't even take another step forward, Jane, I don't have time for your crap this sunny morning. Haven't you done enough already?""I didn't mean for Caleb to hurt Marcus.""The past is the past, isn't it? You both cornered him and beat him up but, oh well, he's also a coward anyway.""Abigail, I'm sorry about what happened to M
