Richard received a call from Tessa. She pleaded with him to have lunch with her, there is a lot they needed to talk about.


    Richard wouldn’t ept the invitation but after several pleas from Tessa he decided to meet up with her but added a condition, he would decide where to meet and Tessa agreed.


    Arianna received a notification, popping up on her system. She’s being invited by the CEO to his office. She stood up and went.


    In front of Jace was thepany’s attorney. She walked in, she nced at Jace but thetter wore a poker face, it’s difficult to know exactly what’s going on in his head.


    Rather than Jace Hudson saying anything, the attorney spoke “I am Jared Spike, the attorney for the Hudson’s holding. And I guess you are Miss Arianna Jason?” Jared chimed, standing on his feet and taking Arianna’s hand.


    “You’re right. Nice meeting you, Attorney Jared” Arianna replied and smiled back.


    “My pleasure” Jared Spike said and continued ” I need your signature and eptance on a document” he said and opened a page in hisputer, requesting her to sign and thumb print.


    “I’m sorry but can I peruse the document I am about to sign” Arianna asked, feeling sceptical about it.


    “It’s unfortunate that you cannot have ess to the information contained. We just need your signature and that would be all for now” Jared Spike refused her request.


    “I’m sorry, but I need to read what I’m about to sign.” Arianna politely declined. She stood before attorney Jared and took a step backwards.


    “Just sign it and leave Miss Jason”Jace’s cold voice came from behind his desk. She nced at Jace and thetter’s eyes softened.


    She sighed softly and signed on all the ces indicated. She wanted to leave when Jared Spike said “thank you miss Jason” his eyes filled with lust and desire.


    Arianna nodded, feeling embarrassed at the way he nced at her, so much lust in his eyes. Jace was ring at Jared Spike and said nothing.


    “It would be my pleasure if you would honour my invitation for a dinner date,” he said, shutting hisptop and smiling at Arianna.


    “Sorry, I have a boyfriend. I don’t ept dinner date with anyone else except with my boyfriend” Arianna replied and walked out. She could see the coldness in Jace’s eyes. The attorney was not sensitive enough.


    Jared Spike gnashed his teeth at the words of Arianna. He kept his gaze on her hourss figure until she shut the door behind her “Such a beauty. I will pursue her and make her mine. She wouldpletely forget her boyfriend and be mine” he said confidently.


    Jace didn’t say anything. Looks like a lot of people have eyes for this woman. He probably would think of slipping a ring through her fingers soon. After all, Eli was already making a request.


    “Can you please help me with her information, CEO Jace?” Jared Spike pleaded. The Kind of coldnessing from Jace Hudson to Jared was almost being felt on the skin.


    “Are you crazy?” Jace asked coldly and Jared Spike shrugged, took his suitcase and quickly said goodbye. He doesn’t know why Jace Hudson was uneasy about it.


    She saved his life back then, that doesn’t mean she couldn’t be with someone else. Was he also interested in her?


    He had always suspected Jace Hudson to be a gay until he saw his recent property name being changed to that of his son. Otherwise, he never knew he had a son.


    During the lunch hour, Arianna and Genesis decided to meet up. Arianna went to pick Genesis from work and told her he wants them to go somewhere quiet and hardly popted.


    When they alighted from the car, Arianna looked around the restaurant. The architectural design was still top notch. She hadn’t been in the restaurant in a while.


    That’s partly because her work ce was a little distance away from there. Arianna said “I’d  been here a few times with Ethan” she remembered the past with Ethan and chuckled softly.


    “Hmmm” Genesis grunted.


    But at the parking lot, her eyes caught sight of a car. She’s too familiar with the car not to recognise it. It’s Richard’s car. What is he doing there, did he alsoe for lunch?


    What a pleasant surprise when he sees her walk in with Arianna. She smiled and pointed the car to Arianna. She said it appears Richard was there, also.


    Richard was meeting with Tessa at the same restaurant for lunch. He didn’t want to cross paths with Genesis, so he decided to go somewhere quiet.This is property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    Midway through their meal, Tessa took his hands and gave it a soft squeeze. Richard raised his brow and red at her. That impulse to push her off or pull his hand away was not there.


    “Richard, have you for once thought how our lives would have been now, if we hadn’t fallen apart? let’s begin again. I still love you very much and I am sorry in all the ways I have hurt you. I’m really sorry that we fell apart.


    I want you back. I can’t live without you anymore. Please take me back and I promise never to repeat the same mistake. Please Richard, I love you” Tessa pleaded.


    “I don’t want to have anything to do with you again, Tessa. I agreed to this lunch because you pleaded with me. And majorly because you said there’s something you need to tell me.


    I don’t cheat, Tessa. I’m not like you. I have someone else I am in love with. So get that fact into your head. I have nothing for you again” Richard dered and pulled his hand away.


    Tessa took his hand again and caressed it, holding it tight “I still love you Richard, and I know that you feel the same way about me. You left me because I cheated, not because you aren’t in love with me. Love is still in your heart and I see it in your eyes…”Tessa was saying when two figures walked to stand before them.


    “What the hell is going on here?” Genesis thundered, hitting the table between Richard and Tessa with her fist.


    Rosalinda suddenly began bleeding while in the office. Her colleague took her with the ambnce to the hospital. Rosalinda was sobbing, she went to the washroom and didn’t look properly and missed a step.


    She slipped and was only able to hold herself when she almost got to the floor, but then her belly hit against the sink. She felt a dripping down her legs and when she looked, it was blood.


    Rosalinda was sobbing all the way to the hospital. Her colleague took her phone and called her Mom. As they were arriving at the hospital, Pricillia and Mike also arrived.


    Rosalinda was taken to the emergency room. Pricillia tried getting in to be with her but she wasn’t allowed. This is too much for Rosalinda. She’s facing too much stress rted to this pregnancy.


    “What is happening, doctor? Am I losing my baby? Please save my baby, please do whatever you can , doctor, save him…”Rosalinda was sobbing.


    “We’ll try our best,” the doctor assured her. They just needed to assure her. At this point, what she’s experiencing was simr to a threatened miscarriage. But they needed to assure her and not get her blood pressure shot up more than what it already was.


    An hourter, the doctors were done attending to her. She was asked to take a rest. She would be ced under observation until the next morning.


    Richard was embarrassed and ashamed of himself when he saw Genesis. He carefully withdrew his hand from Tessa and said “It’s not what you think..”
