Chapter 66
Dina is seen standing outside her house with her daughter, Clara. Lisa and Daniel and Williams standing beside her.
Her husband Charles was dragged out of the house by the police officer with his hands handcuffed.
“I said let me go. I haven’t done anything wrong, where’s my wife and daughter ” Charles yelled at the officer as they dragged him out of the house to their van and just then he stood paused as he saw Dina and Clara standing staring at him.
He then knew Dina was the one behind this. She had him arrested.
“Dina” he called and Dina swallowed hard and looked away.
“Dina I’m sorry, please don’t let them take me away,” Charles said as he swallowed hard. Dina was looking away from him then it dawned on him that Dina had made up her mind.
“Baby Clara, you know I love you,” Charles said smiling at Clara
“No, you don’t love me,” Clara said and hugged her mom so tight.
Charles gritted his teeth angrily.
“Don’t think you’re finally free from me. I’ll come back and make you pay for this” Charles yelled and just then his eyes moved towards Lisa and Daniel who were staring at him.
It was then it dawned on him that Dina wasn’t alone, these people helped her. And he knew Daniel, they had met once when he had gone to see Dina in her workplace once.
He stared at Lisa and Alfred with hatred in his eyes.
“You all will pay for this ” Charles said as the police dragged him into the van and the van took off.
“Sir, everything is under control, ” the DPO said as he shook hands with Daniel and he smiled at him.
“Thank you DPO,” Daniel said and the DPO smiled at him before walking to his car and driving off.
After the DPO had left, Lisa moved toward Dina and hugged her.
“It’s all over now, you and your daughter can live a free life,” Lisa said and Dina stared at her with her eyes filled with tears.
“I still love him,” Dina said as tears filled her eyes. The memories of when she and Charles were still dating playing in her head.
“I know how difficult this must be for you. But you need to be strong, for your daughter.” Lisa said and hugged her tightly.
She pulled away from the hug and wiped her tears.
“We bought an apartment for you close to the company. You and your daughter can be staying there from now and at least I forget, I booked an appointment for Clara. She’s going to see the doctor, they have a solution for her Burnt face ” Lisa said as she smiled at Clara.
“How do I thank you, Lisa? You’re a Godsend” Dina said and Lisa smiled at her.
“Thank you, aunt Lisa,” Clara said in her baby tone and touched her hair.
“You’re welcome sweetheart ” Lisa smiled at her.
“Thank you, Mr. Daniel. I’m forever grateful ” Dina said and Daniel smiled at Dina.
“Common, Lisa let’s go. It’s getting dark” Daniel said and Lisa nodded.
“You should pack a few of your things. The driver here will take you to your new house. Feel free to call me if you need anything ” Lisa said and hugged her.
Meanwhile, Daniel stood there as she watched Lisa with William beside him. He could see the happiness in Lisa’s eyes as she was talking to Dina and her child. Her eyes glittered in joy and her smile was so pure and beautiful.
Daniel finds himself falling for her every second that passes by. Williams, who was standing beside Daniel, noticed how his boss was staring at Lisa. That look was nothing but love.
“Let’s go,” Lisa said jolting Daniel out of his thoughts
“Yeah,” Daniel said as they both entered the car.
*****
“Thank you for today” Lisa smiled at Daniel as they got home.
“Anything for you,” Daniel said and Lisa hugged him so tight. She felt so grateful. She didn’t know how to thank him for what he did for Dina. She felt so happy as her joy knew no bounds.
Daniel closed his eyes as he felt the warmth of the hug. Meanwhile, Mrs. Lois stood in the corner staring at the both of them. She smiled before walking toward them.
“What’s the occasion? You guys look happy” ma’am Lois said and Lisa pulled away from the hug and hugged ma’am Lois happily.
She just felt so happy. She felt happy helping Dina.
“Common ma’am Lois, I’ll tell you what happened, ” Lisa said and dragged Ma’am Lois away.
Daniel scoffed. Seems like Lisa had forgotten its night and she needed to rest so she could go to the office in time tomorrow.
He smiled softly as he climbed the stairs and walked inside his room. He felt so happy that he had forgotten all his problems at that moment.
He wasn’t happy for any reason, not because he helped Lisa in helping don but because Lisa was happy that’s why he’s happy.
I was glad to see she was gradually moving on from her past.
He walked inside the bathroom, to her bath before walking back inside the room. He lay on the bed and drifted to sleep.
Next morning*
Lisa had woken up feeling so tired and weak. She tried standing up from the bed when she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her lower abdomen.
She groaned in pain and managed to walk inside the bathroom.
She took her bath and got dressed for work. Daniel had left early so she had to go with the driver.
The car screeched to a halt in front of the company. Lisa walked out of the car with her handbag in her hands when she suddenly hears her phone ring.
She brought out her phone and noticed it was from Daniel. She answered it
“Hey,” Lisa said as she put the phone to her ears.
“I’m sorry to tell you this on the phone, I’ll be outta town for a few days. It’s an emergency. Please take care of yourself. If you need anything, call me” Daniel said and Lisa smiled.
“Sure. see you soon,” Lisa said and ended the call.
She put the phone in her bag and was about to walk inside the company’s building when she mistakenly collided with someone, who was walking out of the company.
“Oh my goodness! I’m sorry” Lisa said as she raised her head to stare at whoever it was and she seemed a little bit surprised because it was someone she knew.
“Your face looks familiar. Oh, you were the girl I met at Daniel’s office the other day. I’m Lisa” Lisa said and brought forth her hands for a handshake.
“I’m Tessa,” she says and smiled at her
Lisa smiled at her as she stared at her suspiciously. She felt something was off about her and Daniel isn’t in the company, she wondered what she was doing here.
She quickly shook off the thoughts. She was probably overthinking things, she thought.
“Hey Lisa ” she heard Dina call from Behind
“Hey, Dina. Sorry I have to go now, Tessa. See you some other time” Lisa said as she walked toward Dina.
