As the news broke that the investors had decided to work with Luke, a sense of triumph washed over him. With a smug grin, he wasted no time in dialing Martins' number, eager to rub his victory in his face."Martins, it's Luke," he said, his voice laced with arrogance as soon as Martins answered the call. "I just wanted to let you know that the investors have agreed to move forward with the project. Looks like they saw the potential in working with a real winner."Martins chuckled on the other end of the line, his tone light and amused. "Well, congratulations, Luke," he replied, his voice tinged with sarcasm. "I'm sure you'll do a fantastic job leading the project."Luke's grin widened at Martins' response, relishing in his victory. "Oh, I have no doubt about that," he said, his tone dripping with arrogance. "But I have to admit, it feels good to come out on top, especially after all the trouble you caused."Martins laughed again, his laughter echoing through the phone. "Trouble? Oh, p
Luke sat across from his mother, Claire, in their opulent living room, the evening sun casting a warm glow through the windows. He cleared his throat, his expression serious as he broached the topic that had been on his mind for weeks."Mom, there's something I need to talk to you about," Luke began, his voice steady but tinged with anticipation.Claire arched an eyebrow, her attention fully focused on her son. "What is it, Luke? You look like you've got something important on your mind."Luke took a deep breath, steeling himself for the conversation ahead. "I've been thinking a lot about Nelly lately," he admitted, his words measured as he chose them carefully.Claire's eyes widened in surprise, but she remained composed. "Nelly? What about her?"Luke hesitated for a moment before plunging ahead. "I want to marry her, Mom," he declared, his tone leaving no room for argument.Claire's initial shock gave way to a knowing smile, and she nodded approvingly. "I've always thought Nelly was
I opened my eyes feeling my head ache , where was I ? What’s the place ? I sat up and I scanned around , What was happening?.“ She’s awake !” I heard someone shouted , Was I asleep for a long time . “ Where am I ?” I asked scratching the back of my head . “ Don’t you remember me ?” The man standing beside the old lady asked me and I shaked my head , I was feeling a banging pain at the back of my head . “ please can I get water ?” I asked and one of them ran out and in no time , he came in with a glass of water , i gulped down the can of water but it still didn’t quench my taste .“ Can I get another one ?” I asked again and he nodded . “ Yeah sure… I will get you another one “ He said and ran out . The old lady walked closer to me , she looked at my eyes and I drifted away , for some reason I felt like she wanted to hit me and before I knew it , my reflexes was fast enough to make me flinch . “ I don’t want to hurt you , i just want to check if you are okay “ She said and I no
An image of me boarding a plane heading to London flashed ih my head, I remembered the trip and where I was heading . “ Yes ! London …. I’m going to London “ I repeated , I turned to Richard and his mom and I nodded my head, I was sure of what l was saying. London was my destination.“ Do you remember anything else ?” He asked and I tried to think but I felt this sharp headache , It was a constant ache and it kept occurring as I tried to remember anything at all . “ You don’t have to stress your head , We will take you to the hospital right now and a professional will attend to you , Hopefully you will remember with time “ She said to me and I nodded . “ If I May I ask, What is your name please and his too “ I said “ Sarah and that’s my son … Richard , He was the one that brought you home to me , Do you remember?” She replied . I felt completely useless as I tried to remember every single thing and I couldn’t get any of it correctly. “ I can’t seem to remember but Thank you s
I figured out my brain was picking out memories of a particular person to remember the memory but it wasn’t enough, This was the second name now but I couldn’t remember anything more than random facts on the person . “ Madam Katie … You just said she was the brain behind your study abroad , Right ?” Richard asked and I nodded . “ Yes … She was also the woman that gave me a contact Info to reach out to her when I get to London , The blurry images of the woman I was always laughing with , She was the one … it’s clear now “ I replied and Sarah nodded . “ You guys must be really close, She must be really worried about you and your whereabouts “Sarah sighed . “ Mon … We will continue tomorrow, You have to rest first … The doctor said you need a lot of it” After we had dinner , I went to bed, immediately I closed my eyes to sleep it was as though I was in another world , Several memory was flashing in causing me to feel my head ache but I remained quiet and let it flow , I started to r
I logged into the bank that madam Katie had created for me and funded for my upkeep in London, it was loaded with millions and to my surprise, The bank account was still very much active . A day before I decided to make the transaction, I used Sarah’s phone to search about the accident, and photos of my supposed burial ceremony were flooded online, I saw Madam Katie few times after zooming, She looked devasted and Martins too …Captures of my daughter alongside my husband, Luke standing at the side of my coffin brought tears to my eye, I felt like something else was missing while I stare at my husband, It didn’t feel right but the only thing that I could remember that he was my husband. So it was already published that my body was found and my parents had confirmed that I was the body found, it was shocking because if I’m alive then who is in the casket . “ What are you thinking about ?” Richard tapped my shoulders and I was brought back to reality. “ Do you remember the bank detai
It was finally time to leave Sarah’s house and yet there was still no news from Madam Katie, Well maybe it was too early or she hadn’t found a way to reach out to me yet but from what I saw on the internet and with madam Katie’s connections, I was expecting that she must have put a call across to Richard or maybe my expectations were too high. I packed the essentials that madam Katie made ready for me and we were set to go to the airport, I was heading to London, I had no idea how I was going to survive but someone it was going to be possible When I was leaving for London before the plane crash, Madam Katie arranged a service to pick us from the airport and to our accommodation but unfortunately it wasn’t possible, I knew the name of the institution and the town it was located, I just had to get to madam Katie’s sister. The drive to the airport was quiet and slow, Richard’s eyes were focused on the road, Sarah was in the front seat while I sat in the backseat with my eyes fixed outs
Madam Katie was getting ready for a meeting in Paris, Since Carina’s death she and Martins had taken a break from work, Just a few weeks ago Martins left for London, He didn’t want to be around memories of Carina and it was even worse now that he overheard his sister saying luke was getting married to Nelly in no time, His rivalry with Luke only ended because madam Katie had talked him out of any type of war with Luke, in her defense she wanted Carina to Rest In Peace. “ Is my car ready ?” Madam Katie asked the driver as she got ready, He nodded.“ Make sure everything I need for this flight is ready! I don’t want no mistakes “ She commanded. “ Everything is ready “ “ Did you inform my housekeeper in Paris that we are coming?” She asked and he nodded.“ We informed her last night “ “ Fair enough…” Madam Katie grabbed her bag and her driver offered to help her with it. “ Ohh you don’t have to worry about that, Let’s go “ She and her driver headed outside, He opened the car door f
