Lydia let out a chuckle,“Sign the papers, George. That's the only reason I'm here”. “Are you sure?” George asked in a low voice before adding, “With the way you're dressed, I can hardly believe that didn't come for something more. Lydia, I can let all these stay in the dark, you know, we can always forget something like this ever happened”Lydia shook her head as her mind flashed back to what Carson had said earlier. She wonders if the man has the gift of seeing vision. Wanting to see what George had in mind, she asked, “So, what are you insinuating?” “Let's forget the past, tear the divorce paper, tell that fucking lawyer you don't want to go on with that plan anymore and that you have a better one” “Which is?” She asked and George grabbed her by the waist. “That you want to come back to me. That you still love me. Don't you miss how I make you feel in bed, Lydia” he asked and Lydia giggled, “Mr. George Martins,” she called as she gently stepped back from him, taking his han
Marcus, Carson's client, has not stopped thanking him since the court announced him not guilty. He had actually thought he would lose the case and be sentenced to years in prison. Not until Carson came with some solid proof that Marcus didn't do any of what he was accused of. This shut the other lawyer's mouth immediately. “Thank you so much, Attorney. I don't know what I'll do to ever repay you for this great help,” he said as he shook hands with Carson. “I'll suggest you be good and calm from now on. I mean, you literally made me a fool sometimes, don't let your mouth or pride put you in double trouble. Your anger should be checked along with how you run your mouth in public” Carson advised. The funny thing was, Marcus kept nodding his head obediently. He has seen that he was supposed to rot in jail if not for Carson. “I'll keep that in mind from now on,” Marcus said before Carson excused himself. Walking out of the building, he made his way back to the office. “Good afternoo
“How did it go with George?” “How was your case today?” Both Carson and Lydia asked simultaneously.After dinner, both Carson and Lydia decided to have a little chit-chat like the day before. They were beginning to get used to each other's company.Lydia was the first to explain all that happened with George. Carson chuckled when Lydia asked how he knows that George was going to ask her to come back to him. “Men” was the response he gave to her“Men?” She asked.“Men are moved by what they see, Lydia” he replied as he looked at her. He smiled and said, “The way you were dressed today, Lydia, you were just so different. George wouldn't be able to take his eyes off you, that's for sure”. Lydia turned to him, she had a smile on her face. “You know that's all thanks to you” she replied before adding, “I'm sorry about the court case. I thought I could prevent it”. “Trust me, I'm glad we are dragging this to court” he replied“How was your hearing in court?” She asked Carson as he si
Carson, Gary, Khloé, Lydia, and Ma'am Anny had the best weekend together. Anny and Lydia made sure to prepare good food, while Carson had a great time with Gary and Khloé, too. They watched the movies together and enjoyed each other's presence till it was Monday again.Gary didn't like Mondays because of Marian, but no matter how much he hated it, Monday will always come. Like it's doing now. Before Marian came home to dress, Lydia had taken the responsibility upon herself to make sure that they woke up early. She had woken them up as early as 6 am after she had taken her bath and dressed herself. She woke them up and took them to the bathroom. While she bathed them, Gary and Khloé laughed and played in the bathroom, making Gary really happy about the day. Lydia dressed them up for school before taking them to the dining room, where they sat waiting for their food. Since Marian doesn't dress Gary so early before, he had to eat in the car on his way to school, but now, he was earl
Marian looked at Lydia wishing she could just get rid of her very soon." Gary, be fast with your food, you will be late for school," Marian said to Gary. But Gary was too happy to see that Khloe will be going to school with him today, he was all smiling.Marian picked up Gary's bag and Lunch pack and walked outside telling the driver to get the car ready because Gary was ready to leave for school. " Come out Gary, you will be late," Marian Screamed from outside. But, Gary wasn't coming out, Marian angrily went inside to drag Gary outside. "Ma'am but Gary isn't done eating," Khleo said with pitiful eyes. She didn't like the way Marian was pulling Gary."Hush your dirty mouth and mind your business. Like Mother Like Daughter, always involved in people's business" Marian hissed at Khloe. Making Khloe frown her face while Gary on the other hand was crying. Marian pulled him outside the building but Carson and Lydia didn't notice." Driver let's go", Marian said to the driver. " Ma,
“Gary, Gary!” Marian screamed at the top of her voice, making Gary tremble where he was. Marian knew very well that it was Lydia who brought Gary home, but she was screaming so loud to create a scene.“Gary, who brought you home?” Marian asked, but Gary was already crying because of the shock Marian had caused on him. “Marian, why are you screaming so loud? Besides, you should know I brought Gary home” Lydia stated, coming out of the kitchen. “Khloe, please take Gary to the room,” Lydia instructed. She could see the anger in Marian's eyes and knew that this won't end well. “How dare you?!?” Marian shouted, lifting her hand to slap Lydia. Lydia wasn't fast enough to dodge the slap, forming a mark on Lydia's red face. “Haven't I warned you to stay away from Gary? You can never take my place in both father and Son's life, so keep off, you homeless thing” Marian barked angrily, pointing at Lydia. Lydia bent her head with her hand covering her cheek. She wanted to cry but held her te
Carson watched both women as they stared at each other. He could tell that they were not pleased with his decision but he had sure they did that so he kept staring at them. After a while, Lydia shook her head, she knew Marian was never going to make the first move. She didn't want to make the first move either but after all that Mr. Carson has said, she decided to do it herself because she could see that Mr. Carson's words didn't mean anything to Marian. Lydia didn't have a choice as she wanted to make Carson happy. He had done more than enough for her, she didn't want to cause him more trouble. So Lydia grabbed her phone and turned to Marian,"Place your number here," she said handing her phone over to Marian. When Lydia did that, Carson smiled before standing up to leave the table. He knew Lydia would make the right decision. When Carson left, Marian turned to Lydia, "What for, if I may ask? Lydia, stop deceiving yourself. You and I know we are not going to call each other, so I
“Mr. Carson, thank you so much. I don't know what I would have done without you. It's not as if we are related or something. You just made many sacrifices for myself and Helen. Thank you, so so much.” Lydia stared at the man with appreciation. She is still thrilled at why Carson always helps her, even when she didn't have anything to give to him in return.“Lydia, it's alright. I am glad you are happy and comfortable. And mostly, you are beginning to stand up for yourself.” Carson praised her with a smile, he placed his hand on her shoulder and said, “So please be up on time, prepare Khloé on time, and head straight to the company the moment you drop Khloé up. You know, first impressions matter a lot”.“Of course,” Lydia breathed out, “I will do that, Mr. Carson. Let me go take my bath and head straight to bed.”The moment Lydia left, Mr. Carson's office, he picked up his phone to make a call.He stared at the phone for a long time, he was full with so much thought. He shook his head
