Chapter 92: Michael
“ Here are the files, sir”
I turned to see Aurora thrusting some files at me. I collected them and waved her off while I got busy
with the document. They were the budgets for the newly launched Casino games that needed my
signatures.
I read through the amount of money needed and took my time to calculate each total to make sure no
one was trying to embezzle money from the company.
“ Excuse me, sir”
I paused as I lifted my head to see that Aurora was still in the room even though I asked her to leave“
What is it, Aurora?”
“ Nothing, sir. I just wanted to apologize for my behavior the other day and also to appreciate you for
giving me my job back” She told me with her head still bowed.
“ Well, it's nothing. And I'm sorry too for being too hasty to sack you, I should have gotten all my facts
ready before taking any actions” I told her, shrugging.
I watched as Aurora's eyes widened in shock as she heard me apologizing. Something I would never
have done before but Nina had taught me to always say sorry when I'm wrong.
“ No, sir. It's my fault. I shouldn't have insulted your wife. I'm sorry” She refused as she continued
pleading with me to forgive her.
“ It isn't your fault, moreover, Nina said you were only trying to correct her. I'm sorry for judging you
wrongly” I told her, cutting her off. I was devastated when Nina told me that Aurora didn't insult her but
rather she was jealous of her.
“ But_____”
“ No buts, Aurora. I wronged you, so I need to apologize. Is that okay?”
“ Yes, but I also need you to forgive me. It was not in my position to talk back to your wife. I wasn't
professional” Aurora explained as she watched me with her head bowed. I could see that she was
sincere and remorseful of her actions.
“ Fine. I've forgiven you. Can I go back to my work?” I asked her jokingly with a smile on my face.
Aurora smiled back as she nodded and walked out of my office closing the door behind her.
I buried my head in the files while working away endlessly. I needed to get these files done before the
launching of the game, which was in two weeks.
Thirty minutes later, I close the final documents and rest my head on the armrest while closing my eyes
to catch an hour rest or two before I could bring myself to go home when I heard the Knock on my door.
“ Come in,” I called reluctantly to her, knowing that it was Aurora out there. I regretted not telling her
that I don't want to be disturb. Maybe I'll tell her after this.
“ Sorry to disturb you, sir, ” Aurora immediately apologized when she saw my eyes drifting close with
my head on the armrest.
“ It's okay, Aurora. I'm done with the documents. Send them to Chris and have him get into action
immediately by transferring the money to the necessary accounts” I told her with my eyes still closed. I
felt Aurora walked closer as she picked up the files which I had stacked together on my table.
” I___ sir____ you have some visitors,” Aurora told me, stuttering. I open my eyes and glare at her.
Can't she see that I'm trying to relax here?
“ Then have them wait?” I shouted at her as she cowered in fear. I scolded myself for reacting that way
with her. She didn't offend me.
“ I'm sorry, who's out there?” I asked more gently as I smiled up at her trying to get her to relax with me
“ It's John and Don,” Aurora replied, her eyes searching around my office, refusing to look at me. I NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
could see that she was still scared.
“ Okay. Send them in” I nodded at her and waved her off. I guess sleeping would have to wait as this
was far more important.
I had sent John and Don to find me the spy who had told Deborah everything about Nina. I knew it
would be no one but someone in her company who was close to her.
The door opened almost immediately and John came in followed closely by Don. I nodded to Aurora
and waved her off as she closed the door behind her.
“ So, any news?. Don't tell me nothing, please” I told John as soon as I saw him about to speak. I don't
think I will be able to forgive myself if they didn't get the spy.
“ We found him” John and Don replied smiling at
me. I shoot up from my chair in shock. I had never expected them to find the spy so soon.
“ Really? Where is he? Who is he? How?” I threw questions at them as I couldn't contain my
excitement. I was dying to meet him. I've dreamed of the things I will do to him when I find him since
Nina explained things to me this morning.
“ It's Mr. Shawn Mendes,” Don replied, his eyes tightening in anger. I couldn't stop the gasp that
escaped my lips. I mean of all people, why does it have to be him?
“ How did you find out?” I asked both of them, already gathering my laptop into my bag. I couldn't wait
to meet that son of a bitch.
“ I have always been suspicious of him,” Don replied as he paced through my office.
“ Remember that time you asked me to watch Nina?” Don asked me as I nodded at him to go on. I was
anxious to know more.
“ I discovered one time that he was in love with Deborah. He and her always frequent the club
Olympus. I followed him there this morning, guess what I found” Don asked us.
I felt like slapping him still he spoke and stopped putting us in suspense. I kept forgetting how Don likes
to drag his words and takes time explaining things to us.
“ What?” John and I both chorused in anger, already dying of the suspense he was putting us in.
“ I found them both in the club's hotel having sex. I've got everything on tape here” Don replied
thrusting the tape at me but I refused, I don't want to watch Deborah's dirty sex life. I'm not interested in
that.
“ Did you get any information from him?” I asked him, I was dying to know where Deborah has been all
this while.
“ Nothing so far. He kept saying he didn't know where she stays and that they always meet in the club”
John replied, shrugging. I scowled as I walked ahead of them.
“ I'm sure he's going to speak when I'm there” I call out loud to them as I walk into the elevator that will
take us to the parking lot where Mark was waiting with the car.
I took out my phone to put a call through to Nina that I will be a bit late only to discover that it was in
flight mood. I don't remember ever putting it in but I quickly removed it.
Lillian's call entered as soon as I tried to dial Nina's number “ Hello, Lillian I_____”
“ Where the hell have you been Michael? Nina is in the hospital” Lillian shouted into the phone before
she hung up.
That got me scrambling out of the elevator into the waiting car after shouting at Don and John to deal
with Shawn the way they seem fit before handing him over to the police.
“ To the hospital, Mark. Step on the speed, please” I shouted at him as I looked frantically around while
my heart skipped a beat, beating erratically in my chest. I couldn't relax until I knew she was fine.

“ Where's my wife?” I screamed at Lillian as soon as I met her on the elevator going up.
“ Relax, Michael. She's sleeping. You can go see the babies if you want” Lillian explained as I glare at
her before stepping into the elevator with her
“ I don't care about any babies. I want to see my wife” I retorted back at her but Lillian being herself
ignored me while she talked on the phone with Danny.
“ Dad, can you see that? Why is she ignoring me?” I screamed at my dad who I had met at the parking
lot.
“ Relax, son. She said Nina is resting, let's go and see your daughter” Dad told me patting me lightly on
the back as we all stepped out of the elevator.
“ Lead the way” I grumble at Lillian who rolled at
eyes at me before turning to walk down the corridor to where I assume was the nursery.
“ He's the father,” Lillian called to the matron who was about to stop us from going in. She smiled and
came close to us.
“ Congratulations, Mr. Thompson. If you follow me, I'll take you to your daughters” she told me already
opening the door to the room but what she had said caused me to stop as I turned to stare at my father
in shock.
“ Daughters? Are you saying I'm having twins?” I asked her in shock. I wasn't expecting this.
“ Yes, son. They are twins” Dad replied with a big smile on his face. I knew he was happy that he was
now a grandfather but how did he know?
“ You knew about this, Dad?” I asked him with a hint of accusation in my voice. I can't believe Nina kept
this from me. I had felt like an idiot all this time while they knew about the sex
“ Of course son, Nina wanted to surprise you, that's why she made all of us promise not to tell you” Dad
replied before pulling me into the room where the nurse stood with Lillian wearing a big smile on their
faces.
She stepped away from the way, giving me the freedom to get past her to my little princesses who were
sleeping soundly with smiles on their faces. They were so beautiful and got each of our features.
I couldn't help the smile that spread across my face when I saw that they were so identical with their
mother's blond hair.
“ What name should we put on their cards? Mrs. Thompson has been sleeping we couldn't ask her?” I
came out of my thoughts to see the nurse holding tiny pink name cards in her hands waiting for my
response.
“ Nora and Nadia,” I replied suddenly, remembering when Nina and I had planned the girls' names. I
had picked Nora because I was expecting only one baby but Nina had asked me to pick a spare one
just in case there were two. And now, I can't help knowing fully well that she had tricked me.
“ Nora and Nadia, it is then” She replied with a smile on her face as she pens down the name before
putting it beside each of their beds.
“ If you like to see your wife, she's awake now,” The nurse told us, already ushering us out of the room
to have the babies rest.
I couldn't help stealing a last glance of them. I vowed then to protect them with my life as they were my
world. They and their mother mean a lot to me. They were my everything and I love them.
Nina and I chatted as I couldn't stop kissing her
and appreciating her for making me a father to two beautiful princesses while she only smiled at me
telling me she would love to do it all over again because she loves me.
I was mostly scared when Lillian had explained everything that had happened during Labor to me and I
couldn't help being scared but I had appreciated Lillian for her quick thinking if for anything I would put
my wife before anything because we've been through a lot and I can't lose her.
I watched her sleep soundly in my hands after I came back from the nursery the second time. I had
sent her parents and mine home with Lillian while I took care of my wife. I couldn't wait for her to be
discharged tomorrow, then we could be together as one happy family. If only Deborah had been
caught. I just hope she won't be doing anything again.
