CHAPTER 31It had been a month since Lloyd was shot. Nancy and the boys were finally moving back to Coral city. Lloyd still had to do regular check ups while his broken rib healed but overall he was fit.Diana and Emily were also moving with them. Diana wanted to stay back but Lloyd insisted that she joined them as well.It was a relatively short flight from Brandon to Coral city, about an hour and thirty minutes but it seemed like forever to Nancy.Memories of the place she had left behind years ago came running back to her mind. She thought of that night she escaped again. She thought of how her father threw her out. This time around, she hoped it would be different. Her relationship with Lloyd over the past few weeks had grown significantly. They were cool with each other and would often talk about their lives and their children and of course Lloyd would try to romanticize her into kissing him or something but she always tried to avoid that.She glanced at her boys who were still a

CHAPTER 33“Arrgh,” Lucas groaned as he rolled off his mistress, Angela, after they just finished having sex.Angela rolled closer to him and laid her head on his chest but he pushed it away, standing up from the bed and walking to the bathroom in the condo he bought for her for a quick shower.When he returned, Angela was changing the sheets as their semen had stained it. Walking past Lucas, she walked towards the bathroom to shower too and he spanked her ass making her yelp as she looked at him coyly before entering the bathroom.That was when his phone rang. The caller ID made him frown but he picked the call.“Ethan,” He said in a gruff voice.He knew why Ethan Christoff was calling him, Allison had returned and she was expecting Lloyd to fulfill his promise to her but rather he keeps avoiding her and won’t even pick her calls to the extent of blocking her number, now he has to deal with this shit.“We had a deal Lucas,why isn’t your boy holding up his end of the bargain?” Ethan sa

CHAPTER 35“I am not going to accept it. What were you even thinking, doing such a thing?” An angry Nancy was berating a perplexed Lloyd.She had berated him this morning over the phone and now that he was at the short let so they could move to her house, she continued berating him.Lloyd raised a brow at her. “What do you mean what was I thinking? You deserve it and more. It is my gift to you. For the many nights that I made you cry, for the times I wasn’t there for you when you needed me. It is a little token of my appreciation for everything that you’ve been through because of me,” Lloyd replied.He didn’t understand why she was so annoyed he would give her such a huge amount of money. He would gladly give this woman his entire net worth in the blink of an eye and he planned to give her much more but here she was, complaining over this little thing.“Money doesn’t just fix those things. You are going to transfer it back to your name because I am not going to accept it,” Nancy replie

CHAPTER 37“Now remember everything we talked about, play nice…….and remember, they have to believe you. Especially Nancy, she’ll be key to breaking down Lloyd’s suspecting walls,” Angela said to Lucas as she helped him button his shirt.Lucas frowned. He really didn’t like the idea of him having to apologize and pretend to be okay with Nancy and Lloyd’s relationship but for what they had planned. It was what he had to do.“Don’t tell me you’re changing your mind,” Angela said, noticing the frown on Lucas’ face.She wanted to be on his good side and impress him always. To show him that she could be an asset to him and not just a pleasure toy. If she could help him achieve his coveted goal, surely he would start to see her for her brains and not just her body.“I’m not comfortable with it but I’ll put on my best act. Do you think I should get her some flowers or a gift?” Lucas asked.“That’s an excellent idea. Get her some flowers and very expensive jewelry. There’s no woman alive who d

CHAPTER 39“A victim?” Lloyd’s eyes snapped to hers as he gave her a cold stare. The man had a gun to their child and shot at her and their children. “Please explain to me, how the hell is he a victim?” Lloyd said, fuming inside but trying to control it.“I know what he did was bad and believe me, I want him to pay dearly for it too but you heard the doctor’s testimony yourself, he’s bipolar. He wasn’t himself when he did any of those things. Perhaps we could just forgive him and let him get the help he needs rather than allow him rot in jail,” Nancy replied calmly.She hated Kaleb for what he did but still he was nice to her in the beginning. If he snapped as a result of her leading him on and because of his mental illness, the best she could do for him is ensure he gets treated.“I can’t fucking believe you right now. Do you really believe that crap? He’s not fucking bipolar. That was made up. Made up! I’ll make sure he spends the rest of miserable life behind bars for trying to hurt
