Jerome felt a shockwave of fear and anxiety. His heart raced and his mind went blank.He feels like everything happening to Stacy is so unfair. Unfair that they had to get intimate despite their contract relationship, and then the pregnancy came with taking her life and now the accident is about to reduce the amount of time she had left on earth."Mr Jerome. Due to the accident, we need to keep Stacy in the hospital so we can monitor her and the baby." The doctor exclaimed.The words weigh down the feelings of hope he had built inside him and now he only has to accept the reality."Is she dying anytime soon? Does the accident reduce her days on earth?" Jerome questioned, turning his gaze at the doctor, waiting for the words to come out of his mouth."We only need to be careful, anything can happen. And please do anything to make her happy at this point." The doctor answered."If life had decided to be so unfair to Stacy, then I promise to make every minute of her remaining days memora
Stacy pulled her head up in Jerome's arms and saw him looking worriedly at her."You don't need to cry. I'm fine." He mumbled, slowly soothing her hair and wiping her tears.She sniffed and laid back."It's all because of me," Stacy said, looking guilty."If it means cutting all my fingers in the process of cooking for you, I won't regret being fingerless," Jerome exclaimed, making her laugh."I can't imagine you without any fingers, you will look horrific," Stacy said, still laughing.And Jerome was just stunned by the sudden change of mood, from crying to now laughing out loud."I will test your finger, okay?" Stacy asked."You don't have to...""Fine, you can do." Jerome tried to say but the way Stacy looked at him made him change his mind, coz she almost looked like she was about to start up a new episode of tears and just couldn't stand her tears.He passed her over to a first aid kid who was kept in the ward, and ignoring all the IVs connected to her veins, she started bringing
Admiringly watching the sleeping Stacy, he realized he had a deep connection with Stacy, not just about her sudden health condition.He strolled out of the ward and met John still waiting outside."How did the accident happen?" Jerome questioned, placing his hand on the wall."It was an accident s,ir," John answered, bowing his head."I know it was an accident that was why I asked! What were you even thinking? Do you know what the consequences of your carelessness caused on my wife!" Jerome thundered."Sir...I swear it was the car that ran down at us. I was careful." John pleaded."If you were careful enough, my wife wouldn't be in this condition. Now I don't even know if I can trust you as my driver anymore." Jerome spat."Sir please don't do this, please, I'm begging you." John pleaded, rubbing his hands together.Jerome sighed and massaged his arching forehead."Fine, just go." Jerome dismissed him after realizing that John had been his driver for years and all those years, he had
As Stacy drifted to sleep, Jerome assigned a nurse to stay by Stacy's side as he needed to get back to the mansion and take care of some business.He went to the parking lot and saw John talking with a police officer.He headed there."Is everything okay here?" Jerome asked."Yes, everything is fine." The officer answered."Um, officer, he is the victim's husband," John said."Oh, forgive me, I'm so sorry. Hi, I'm Officer Karen from the state police headquarters." The officer replied and forwarded his hand for a handshake."Jerome." Jerome nodded and accepted the handshake."We had discovered that your wife's accident was an intentional one. It was a hit and run." The officer stated."What? Intentional? Who would try to intentionally harm my wife?" Jerome asked."That's the question. The case is up to us and do not worry, we are investigating the matter and we will make sure those responsible are apprehended and executed accordingly. But I need you to calm down and think if your wife
"Debbie, you don't understand what is at stake. I just finished speaking with Jerome's uncle and he told me how Jerome left the board meeting despite their threat to remove me as the CEO. It seems like for that girl, he can do anything and give up everything." Her Dad exclaimed."I promise you Dad, everything is under my control. And Jerome will be my husband, just like it was in the deal." Debbie replied and stood up."Where are you going?" Her Dad asked."Don't worry, I want to confirm my plan." Debbie giggled and picked up her purse and phone, then left the room with her Dad in it.She happily entered her red car and drove off, after setting her location on Jerome's Mansion."Let's give you a shoulder to cry on, Sweetie." She muttered and fixed her eyes on the road.She wanted to confirm Stacy's death from Jerome and also reinstate their deal Marriage since Stacy is no more.**Jerome's Mansion*As Debbie arrived at Jerome Mansion, she stared at it scanning every corner, imagining
Arriving at the lawyer's office, He welcomed Jerome with a handshake before he offered him a seat and they both sat down."Sorry, I have been postponing our meetings." Jerome apologized."It's okay, I know how busy you can get." The lawyer replied, closing a file."We are always busy," Jerome said and the both of them chuckled. "You know my wife Stacy is sick, so I have to be by her side, plus the new project I'm working on is also taking away all my time and strength," Jerome exclaimed."Oh, wow! The autonomous car you were talking about? Have you finally started working on it!" The lawyer said, stunned."Yeah, I realized it will bring us a lot of return on investment and profit so yeah, it's worth the stress," Jerome replied and massaged his brows."Congratulations, I'm sure everything Jerome makes, becomes a hit. You are so talented." The lawyer commended, with a wink.He noticed Jerome looked down."Is there something that you are not telling me, Jerome?" He asked."Well, you kno
"So, how are you feeling now?" Jerome asked, inserting his fingers at her. "I'm better, but I was bored when you left. Have you called my sister yet?" Stacy responded licking her dried lips. "No. Do I have to? I mean, I can take care of you by myself, unless I'm not doing it the right way." Jerome said, looking sad. Stacy beamed and placed her hands on his cheeks. "You are doing more than well. I'm just worried about the stress you are going through for me." Stacy mumbled. "And you think the right person to carry out your stress is your sister?" Jerome asked, feeling hurt. "I didn't mean to make you sad," Stacy answered. "I'm your husband Stacy. Even though our marriage was a deal and stuff I decided to be your husband until the time you give birth. So you are my responsibility and I will make sure I take care of you, well." Jerome exclaimed. Stacy was grateful and happy. The doctor interrupted their conversation and announced he had an injection to give to Stacy. "But have y
"And this time, I didn't cut my fingers." Jerome giggled, showing her his fingers."Oh gosh! You are so perfect." Stacy exclaimed."So you love it?" Jerome asked, pointing at the pizza with his eyes."Are you kidding me? I love it, this has to be the sweetest pizza I have ever tasted. Have a taste of it." Stacy answered and cut a slice. "Open your mouth," Stacy said, pouting.Jerome smiled and opened his mouth.Stacy brought the pizza slice closer to his mouth and when he opened it, she quickly put it in her mouth laughing."That's not fair!" Jerome groaned and started pulling the Pizza from Stacy while she also pulled it away from him."Leave it for me! Someone, help! Pizza thief!" Stacy screamed, dragging it."Fine, fine, I give up," Jerome said, breathing heavilyStacy looked at him and burst out laughing."Are you angry?" She asked."I prepared you a pizza and you refused to let me have a taste of it, so should I be happy?" Jerome frowned."Oh silly, I was just joking. Come on, h
