CHAPTER 22Lloyd was quick to reach her before she could reach for the vase. He held her arms and her skin crawled at his touch. She shoved him back and attempted to follow it up with a slap but Lloyd caught her hand in the air.“Whoa! Relax,” He said teasingly but his expression quickly turned serious when he saw the venom in her eyes.With her free hand, Nancy grabbed the vase but before she could strike, Lloyd caught it again, wrestling it off her and as it shattered upon impact with the floor, He tackled her to the bed.“What’s wrong with you? Calm down,” he said. His tone laced with surprise and confusion.His body pressed against her and he had her legs trapped between his, while his hands held hers in place. Their eyes met. Nancy glared at him, her eyes full of disdain for the man above her. Lloyd only admired her feistiness. His eyes dipped to her breast cleavage sprawling out of her V neck gown briefly and he gulped before looking away.“Get the fuck off me Lloyd, you monster

CHAPTER 24Last night after Lloyd left, Nancy took a quick shower and crashed almost immediately, drained both physically and emotionally.She planned to go see Kaleb first thing in the morning as she couldn’t leave her kids to themselves even if Diana and Emily were in the house.She woke up the following morning to the sound of her kids’ voices. They were praying just after waking up. It wasn’t unlike Leo to do that. If he woke up before her, he would normally pray alone but now he was doing it with his brother.Her heart warmed at the thought of it. She was grateful for her little bundles of joy. She wanted to join them but decided not to interrupt them as she heard Lex who she had been teaching this past week lead the prayer.“Dear God, Mommy said in the Lord’s Prayer that you forgive us as we forgive the people that offend us. Can you please forgive mommy so she can forgive our daddy?” He said in his little voice that was filled with a genuine sadness.No…..Not this…… Nancy’s hea

CHAPTER 26Lloyd was having a great time with Leo and Lex after he picked them up from the house. He had their day planned out. He originally wanted Nancy to also be a part of the day he had planned but with what happened yesterday he didn’t dare mention it to her.His only hope was that the men Dominic was in contact with would agree to tell the truth even if it cost him about 3 million dollars.Their first stop was the Kiddies Planet, a fun mall and park for kids and adults alike but was mostly curated to fit the needs of kids.As soon as they stepped into the place, all eyes easily turned to them. The sight of such a handsome man with two cuties that shared striking features with him easily caught everyone’s attention and to top it all, they wore identical outfits.Blue Gucci denim pants with a black Versace short sleeve shirt and the same brand of black Zara leather loafers that Lloyd had custom made to have each of their names embedded on the soles.The female attendants of the ma

CHAPTER 28“No, I’ll handle it myself,” Nancy protested. “There’s something else I have to trash out with him.”“What is it?” Lloyd asked with a frown, wondering what else she had discovered.Nancy stood up and reached into her bedside drawer, pulling out the secret camera that Kaleb had installed in her bathroom.“Is that what I think it is?” Lloyd asked. Nancy nodded as she walked towards the door, refusing to give him more information about it.Lloyd snatched it from her and examined it carefully. “Why do you have this?” “Lloyd, give it to me. It’s honestly not your business,” She replied curtly.“Like hell it isn’t. Was he spying on you with this? Here? In your bedroom?” Nancy made the mistake of looking towards her bathroom door and Lloyd snapped as he realized it was a spy cam in her bathroom.The aura around him turned chilly and his eyes went dark with anger as he narrowed them, storming towards the living room with Nancy half running and half walking behind him.Nancy caugh

CHAPTER 30“What’s adult stuff?” A surprised Lloyd asked, seeing how amused Nancy was by the term.“I’ll tell you later,” Nancy replied, waving Lloyd off.“Boys, you shouldn’t run like that,” Emily said as she appeared, catching her breath.“Aunty Emily cannot run,” Lex said as he giggled with Leo following his lead.Emily hissed. These boys were little but they seemed to have very fast legs and they didn’t even look as out of breath as she was.“You’re awake. Thank God,” She said, referring to Lloyd.“It was Emily who actually called the cops,” Nancy said to Lloyd. He knew when the cops came in. It was a few minutes before he passed out but he didn’t know who it was that informed them.“Thank you Emily, I owe you,” Lloyd said, clasping his hands in a prayer gesture.“Well it better be expensive and on four wheels,” Emily said, winking at Lloyd with a cute grin on her lips as she sat on a chair.“Emily,” Nancy chided her as he rolled her eyes. She thought Emily was always too forward.
