Chapter 110
Ma’am Lois sighed softly as she heard Daniel lock his door from the inside. He felt so much pity for him. She stood at a corner of the stairs watching them.
He’s hurt. But still, not everything that seems like it’s meant to be is meant to be.
At times fate can be so cruel, she thought sadly. She exhaled deeply and was about to walk inside her room when she saw Ria come out of her room.
“What happened? I heard Lisa crying?” Ria asked ma’am Lois who was about to enter her room.
“It’s nothing. You should go back to your room and get some sleep. I bet you wouldn’t want to wake up late tomorrow morning” ma’am Lois said and raised her eyebrows waiting for ria to enter her room. Ria rolled her eyes as she entered her room and locked the door behind her.
Ma’am Lois sighed softly before entering hers.
Meanwhile, immediately after Daniel got to his room, he sat tiredly on the bed. He didn’t know what to think or do. His thoughts were filled with Lisa.
All he wants is for her to be happy no matter what even though it cost him his happiness, he doesn’t care. He cares about her so much that he cannot withstand her tears, it makes him weak.
Whatever she thinks it’s best for her, he would support her no matter what. He had made these promises from the start, so he was going to keep them no matter what.
He stood up from the bed and walked inside the bathroom. He took his bath and wore his night clothes. He laid tiredly on the bed. He closed his eyes and then drifted to sleep.
*********
It was morning and another day. Lisa had woken up a bit late. She didn’t sleep on time last night. She was thinking about a lot of things before she finally slept off.
She raised her head and checked the wall clock. She needed to be at work in less than 2 hours. She managed to stand up from the bed, walked inside the bathroom, and took her bath.
She walked out of the bathroom with her towel tied around her chest. She dried her body and applied her lotion. She walked towards her wardrobe, opened it, and brought out one of her simple gowns.
She walked towards her dressing table, standing in front of her mirror. She let go of the towel as she stared at her reflection in the mirror. Her eyes moved to her breast which had grown bigger and then her stomach which was growing bigger by the day.
She still can’t believe she was going to give birth to quadruplets. She placed her hands on her tummy and she smiled. She couldn’t believe sooner or later she was going to be a mother.
“Everything I’m doing now is for you all,” she thought. The sound of her phone’s ringing tone jolted her outta her thoughts.
She slipped in her underwear and put on the gown. She moved towards her bed and picked up her phone. It was a call from Malia and just then her text message popped in, she had given the landlady the money for the rent.
“Couldn’t you just wait for me to come to work?” Lisa thought as she smiled to herself. She dropped the phone back on the bed and slipped her shoes on.
She carried her handbag and her phone from the bed before walking out of her room. When she got to the dining room, Ria had told her Daniel had left this early morning as his PA, Williams came to pick him up.
She wondered if he was still angry at her or if he probably had an important thing to attend to, she thought to herself.
She sat at the dining table and ate. When she was done eating she carried her things and walked outside the house to the car. The driver was already inside waiting for her.
Immediately, she entered the car. The driver ignited the engine and zoomed off. Immediately Lisa had gotten to work. She moved to the restroom to change her clothes to her working clothes.
Just as she walked out of the restroom, she met Malia.
“Hey, I saw your text message. Thank you ” Lisa said to malia.
“I’m happy to help, Anytime, ” Malia said and Lisa smiled at her.
“Common, let’s get to work,” Lisa said and she and Malia both walked away.

Meanwhile, Daniel is seen in his office going through his laptop when a knock comes in and the door bursts open revealing Williams.
“Have you done what I asked you to do?” Daniel asked as she raised his eyes from the laptop after closing it.
“Yes sir, everything is ready,” Williams said and Daniel nodded. He had left the house early in the morning after he called Williams to pick him up.
They had gone to check the apartment Lisa had rented. All Daniel wanted to do was make sure she was comfortable. He met with the landlady and paid an extra year for Lisa. He had Williams buy a television, chairs, bed, and other things that needed to make the apartment feel like home.
He just wants to make sure Lisa was comfortable and would not lack anything at all.
“How about the food?” Daniel asked
“I got everything, sir. I made sure the fridge is filled with everything she would need” Williams said.
“You can go recheck everything. I just want to make sure she doesn’t lack anything when she moves in by tomorrow” Daniel said
“Yes sir,” Williams said and with that, he walked out of Daniel’s office.

After Lisa had closed from work, she had gone to the apartment she rented. She needed to look into it so she could see the few things she can afford for the moment and to her surprise, the house was already furniture.
She didn’t need to buy anything again because everything was already available. She walked inside the kitchen only to see a new set of plates, pots, spoons, and a new fridge. She opened the fridge only to see it was filled with foodstuff.
She then wondered who would have done all this. Then it dawned on her that it was no other person but Daniel.
