All Chapters of Unexpectedly His: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

Chapter Sixty One: A Heavy HeartAfter Ken closed from work that evening, he decided not to go back to his apartment. He wasn’t in the right frame of mind to be alone. The silence of his place would only make his thoughts louder, and right now, he needed people around something to distract him, even if just for a while. He didn’t want to keep replaying everything that had happened at the hospital in his head. He didn’t want to lose his peace.When he drove into his father’s compound, he parked and took a deep breath before walking into the sitting room. The familiar scent of home wrapped around him; it brought a bit of comfort. The house help was arranging some throw pillows on the couch when he entered.“Good evening, sir,” she greeted quickly.“Good evening,” Ken replied with a faint smile. “How are you doing?”“I’m fine, sir,” the girl said politely.“Where’s my dad? Is he around?”“Yes sir, he’s upstairs sleeping,” she said, straightening her apron.Ken frowned slightly. “Sleeping

Chapter Sixty Three: The VisitAround ten in the morning, after Ken’s father finished his breakfast, he decided it was finally time to go to the hospital. He had been restless all morning, replaying everything that happened with Mercy and how her actions dragged his family name into something he never wanted to be associated with. He didn’t like unfinished business, and the matter had been weighing on him. So, without wasting time, he called his driver and instructed him to take him straight to the hospital.When they arrived, the compound was busy as usual, nurses walking briskly, patients’ relatives waiting under the shades, and the smell of antiseptic filling the air. But Ken’s father had a problem: he had no idea where Mercy was admitted. He looked around helplessly for a moment, then remembered he had saved her brother’s number the day everything went south. Without thinking twice, he brought out his phone and dialed the number.Mercy’s brother answered on the second ring. Ken’s

Chapter Sixty Five: Breaking PointKen had barely stepped out of his father’s house before a strange heaviness settled on his chest. He wasn’t angry, he was ashamed, confused, and emotionally drained. Nothing around him made sense anymore. He kept replaying his father’s words in his head, the disappointment he heard, the silent judgment, the quiet hurt. It was like a wound that refused to close.When he got home, he dropped his car key carelessly on the center table and walked straight to the bathroom. He scrubbed himself under the shower for so long that the water turned cold before he stepped out. He wrapped a towel around his waist, walked to the sitting room, and collapsed onto the couch. He didn’t care to dry himself properly. He didn’t even bother to lie on the bed. He just wanted to shut his brain down. Within minutes, his eyes closed, and sleep engulfed him, heavy and forceful.His phone kept buzzing nonstop. First Lisa, then Kunle, then Lisa again. But Ken didn’t move an inch

CHAPTER Sixty Seven:THE ULTIMATUMKen walked into his father’s sitting room with tension clinging to his skin like sweat. The house was unusually quiet, almost too calm for his racing mind. His father sat on the couch, leaning slightly against the armrest, a white tray beside him. The maid was just handing him a glass of water before she bowed politely and slipped out of the room. His father looked pale, tired, as though life had dragged something heavy from him.Ken dropped his jacket on the nearest chair and moved closer.“Dad, I just came from the hospital,” he said, breathing hard. “The doctor confirmed you were discharged. I was so scared when I heard you were rushed there.”His father exhaled slowly, his voice calm but weak. “Yes, that’s true. They said you weren’t in the office. Clem handled everything.”Ken nodded, rubbing his forehead. “I went out for a meeting concerning the new contract. Once you sign the documents, the project will start immediately.”His father straighten

CHAPTER Sixty Nine:THE QUESTION THAT CHANGED EVERYTHINGLisa sat frozen on the couch, staring at Ken like he had just spoken a language she had never heard before.Her mouth parted slightly, her brows drawn in disbelief as she whispered, “You said what?”Ken swallowed hard and rubbed his palms together, his entire body tense. “Lisa… we have to get married. You and I.”For a moment, Lisa felt her ears ring. She blinked rapidly, hoping she misheard him, but Ken’s eyes stayed fixed on hers worried, desperate, and shaking.“Ken, you shouldn’t have mentioned my name.” Her voice rose a little, partly from shock and partly from frustration. “Why would you do that?”Ken dragged in a shaky breath. “Lisa, I didn’t have any other option. Please… believe me.”Lisa pushed herself off the couch slightly, her chest tight. “You had an option! You had several options. You didn’t have to drag me into this mess.”“No,” Ken said, shaking his head stubbornly. “I didn’t. You are my only choice. And he beli
