TOO GOOD TO LEAVE TOO BAD TO STAY Chapter Seventy-Five
Freda wanted him to spy on Ms. Lana. It was a tough spot she put him on, and he was ready to decline, yet as he stood in front of the kindhearted and smart Lana, he froze. Madam Freda was not someone he could betray like that, and he was sure it would be hard to shake her off. His heart wanted to do the right thing. Then do it, a voice in his head muttered. But fear held him down. He glanced up at Lana’s expectant gaze and looked away immediately. He had entered here, announcing that he had an important confession to make, and she had dropped all of her work just to listen to him. What was he doing, wasting her time?What would she say after he confessed? Give him a pat on the back and say, Don’t be a naughty boy again. Definitely not, but it was definitely better than continuing to work for that witch. All the guilt was beginning to eat at him. He did not used to feel guilty about all the others; they deserved what they got, but Lana was different. She was fighting for all of them.

The board members were all seated; even McCoy was here, which I noticed with a bit of amusement. After the argument yesterday and my threat, I expected he would refuse to show up for the meeting today, but I guess he decided to call my bluff, or did he want to see if I was only playing mind games?I stood from my seat, calling the hall to silence. All eyes turned to me. “Yesterday, I informed us that a representative from BlackBrick would be visiting us.” Murmurs ran across the room, and they glanced at each other. I smiled. “Well, today, we have with us that representative. Please, welcome, Cameron Myers.” I gestured with my hands to where Cameron sat beside me. “CEO, BlackBrick Global.”Mouths went agape, and gasps filled the room. I was sure that they were not expecting the CEO himself to present the proposal to them. They all jumped to their feet, their eyes leaving me to rest hungrily on Cameron.“Sir,” McCoy said. “We didn’t think you would come all the way here by yourself.”

Cameron’s POVI walked into the shop with my heart in my mouth. This was something I wanted to do, something I’d been putting off for a long time now, and with the speed at which my relationship with Lana was going, this time seemed like the best time, or I could just wait till never.But I was not sure. Would she want this? Was she ready for this big step in our relationship? Everything in my body screamed a very big no, but Darby said, “Yes!!!”“Christ! You don’t know Lana like I do.” Darby said, admiring the various assortments of jewellery and rings in the shop. She almost cried when she saw one, and she wiggled her fingers dreamily. “I think this one would suit me just fine.”I scratched my head. I could still remember the first time I asked Lana out and the look on her face as she turned me down. I shook my head, clearing the memory from my head. That experience had left a bad taste in my mouth, and I did not want to go through it again.But I also wanted to do this. I wanted to

Kathy went over and gave Andre a slight peck on the cheek, which he wiped off immediately. Typical, I thought expressionlessly. I was a fool for thinking André could ever change. I saw Kathy smile meekly at him—a smile that did not reach her eyes—before turning to me. Andre did not return her smile, nor did he look at her. His attention was concentrated on me, and this made my face flush red from embarrassment. What is he doing? I wondered. His wife is right there. The least he can do is respect her. But I have never known Andre to respect any woman except for his mother. That one had him under a special spell.Kathy tapped my arm gently. “We should be on our way.”“Oh,” I said, shaking myself out of the thoughts that consumed me. I allowed him to lead me out of the house, not sparing either Andre or the house, which had been my home for five years, a second glance. “So long, Andre,” I muttered under my breath.“I am sorry for keeping you waiting,” Kathy apologised as soon as we were

I was weak to the knees when I returned home. My meeting with Kathy got me thinking about a lot of not-good scenarios. Possibilities of a future, and none of them ended in a good way. I would die before I let André take my children from me.Darby and Cameron were back, and they looked like they had a good time. They kept smiling at each other and whispering behind my back like high school sweethearts. I did not even want to know what was going on between them. I was already in a foul mood, and I didn’t want to soil it any further.I retired to the children’s room, where they were with the nanny. They were already asleep, and the nanny was reading a page from a children’s book. “Thank you, Page.” I said it with a tired smile. “Did they eat before they slept?”Page nodded. “Yes. I made sure to feed and bathe them.”“Thank you.” I said again, peering into their cots. My little joy-givers. They looked so small and so beautiful. Don’t worry, my darlings. I won’t let anyone take you away fr

Andre’s POVThe plan was underway, and I was happy. Once Kathy succeeded in getting close enough to Lana and brought me samples of the kids’ blood, fluid, nails, or anything else that belonged to the children, I would carry out the test, and I was sure those children were mine.Let’s see Lana resist me when I am the only key to her seeing her children. I wished I did not have to do this, but she was leaving me no choice. I wanted her, and I must have her. I glanced at Kathy, who lay asleep beside me, and I had to give it to her. She really was something, coming up with this idea and following it through.Although I had to remind myself that she was also doing this for her own selfish interests, not because she actually wanted to help me, As she said, what she wants, she gets, and I did not care what it was she wanted as long as it brought me something that I wanted as well: my family.“Hey,” she said, blinking her eyes open. “You are still awake?”She turned to glance at the time on h
TOO GOOD TO LEAVE TOO BAD TO STAY Chapter Eighty-One
Freda glared at me. But I understood where she was coming from. This company was everything she worked for. It was her life—everything that she owned—and someone threatening to acquire it would definitely make her furious. I understood that. But I did not understand why she was taking the threat seriously. Lana just acquired Lukem, and I doubted she had the money to buy out our company, and even if she did, were we selling? Our company’s stocks were stable in the market, and we were still scaling up.There was nothing to be furious about. Even she should know that Lana was only bluffing. She wouldn't, really. Even with BlackBrick by her side, she did not have the means to do what she said.The thought of black brick brought a sour taste to my mouth. So that was why she refused our proposal, because Cameron had already offered her one. I don’t know if I should take this to be a good thing or a bad thing.After all, this could mean that they were nothing but business partners and I cou

Cameron just got off the phone with the family lawyer, Sally, and documents were already in process. He whistled happily as he went to the kitchen, breezing gracefully through the dining room and looking blindly for the refrigerator. He was blind to happiness, which made me wonder if he should be happier than I am.Some hours later, Sally’s expensive-looking yellow and black Chevrolet Camaro pulled up by their gate; it’s expensive horn reverberating around the compound and sending the twins into a state of frenzy when they realised it was one of their favourite guests at the gate.I looked around me; everything was going so fast. I almost fell back into a state of fear, but Cameron’s eyes seemed to stare at my face at the same moment, as if to say, Don’t even think about it. She came inside, carrying the twins on each arm while their nanny was holding on to her bag. She dropped her bag and stretched her slender arms towards Cameron, both of them embracing for a moment that seemed spe
