Kendrick's heart raced as he pushed open the car door, his mind sinking slowly with fear. Brown's whispered words resonated in his shattered mind as he shoved the door harder, his teeth clenched and finally it creaked open.He stumbled out, his eyes scanned the area, his views seemed blurry as his head kept spinning within him. The only sound around was the loud ham of two approaching vehicles in a close range. Alexander the son of the Brutal commissioner for health, provoked by the chief medical officer's decision at the hospital had hired the assassins to ensure that Kendrick was done with. He had provided all information knowing that Kendrick would be passing downtown to get his divorce papers, awaiting the final court decision.Immediately, the cars arrived and the hefty men jumped out; "Search through the whole dang car and him out let's get the heck outta here!" The leader of the gang commanded, gesturing at the car. "He ain't here, boss. Just a wounded driver, I think he's

Kendrick needed not to inform the police about the incident that happened, his device was taken and it had an inbuilt tracker in that, when it beeps, a notification gets to his father's guards immediately he gets in trouble, so he was certain that they must have been notified before now. "Thanks for your show of kindness, Florence." He replied gently, a sense of relief showed on his face as he struggled to give a grin."Really? Oh… it's obvious you need no assistance" Mrs. Florence sighed and tucked her notes back in her pause and drove Into the compound.Kendrick walked in slowly, a guard in black suit sneered as he staggered in. He could recognize Kendrick properly, but as he was told… Some rich dudes picked him up some nights ago… so he expected to see him look like a hired maid to some rich folks, but here he was looking stained and exhausted. Peace Churchill and Katherine Rogers sat outside the balcony of the compound, they knew Kendrick was going to show up, but to their gr

She marched with speed into the living room, her hands flung in the air as she moved towards Kendrick."Won't you shut your traps!! There's a better person to complain here and it can never be you… I'm told you went to the hospital, claiming you were some rich son to the Peterson's and made Alex lose his job! Louis snarled, her teeth gritted with anger. "What? You mean he did that? How on earth would he do such a thing? Another bewildered voice interrupted, it was Peace Churchill's, Louis' mother. Louis threw herself angrily at Kendrick, picked an iron misal on the table and threw it towards Kendrick, it went straight in the air, but Kendrick dodged instantly and it fell on the glass centre table breaking it into many pieces. "I wouldn't know why grandfather had overestimated him, but I know that the shambles of a marriage was a result of my juvenile decisions, if it were now, nothing would join me and with an imposter, a useless maid like this idiot. Louis scowled as she pushed h

The sitting room seemed to choke with tension, Kendrick stood up instantly and turned to leave."I think I'm done here and would like to take my leave! He stuttered as he got up, but Louis yelled. " Are you just walking away, can't you see that your foolishness has caused me a lot already? She blurted. "But you can't push the blames to him, Louis, I feel you should blame yourself too for having decided to divorce him" Florence replied sharply, and then the sound of the door closing echoed in the room."My daughter regrets nothing about divorcing that young man, She's found a better man and we are certainly okay with it" Peace Churchill interrupted instantly, pointing at Kendrick who was already out of the sitting room. "That's fine… then!, I'll have to take my leave, too… please ensure to be in the civil records office this week" Florence said as she stood up to leave too. °°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°Outside the compound, Kendrick could see a haul of policemen moving around the road.

Certainly, Xavier had informed the police and the roads came alive with roadblocks at every checkpoint, but how was it possible that the assassins were still on the move? Stelcy paced back and forth as she muttered to herself, questions that seemed rhetorical. "I think I've been able to pinpoint a particular location" Santos replied instantly. "T…that's perfect! Send me the signal immediately!" Stelcy ordered as she rushed back to Xavier, her breath cutting as she spoke. "Ensure that your GPS receiver is on, Santos is sending in the location right away!" Her words seemed to carry the weight of the situation. Her phone pressed to her ear, her expression suddenly changed from concern to shock. "What?! Oh my god, are you sure?!" she exclaimed, her voice trembling. Immediately, the call dropped off, Stelcy was truly disappointed. "Santos, Santos!" She called out but was greeted with silence. She hissed, then tried to reconnect the call, her fingers running over the ph

"You never told me about your mother's health!!" Mr. Peterson yelled from the inside but Kendrick was already out. Immediately, his eyes fixed on four policemen conversing with Xavier and Stelcy, they gestured as they talked. "Hey!... is everything alright? Kendrick asked as he walked closer to them. A stunned Stelcy turned back instantly, staring at Kim as he drew closer, "Good morning young master Kendrick… " Morning to you, Ma" Kendrick replied coldly, she didn't wait for him to ask a question when she drew him away from the officers a bit and started to narrate to him, her voice sounding low almost like a whisper. "... I. I just received information from the police that the device was found!" She started with the positive info before getting to the excuses. Kendrick's heart leaped, he smiled a bit and nodded, then replied"How about Brown? Have they traced his whereabouts?" Stelcy paused a bit, then mumbled a reply, "The device was found with a little boy of 12, accordin

° Dr. Astrid's eyes locked onto Kendrick's, her expression a mix of empathy and urgency as she sprang from her seat; "I'll be with you shortly, please," she said, her voice soft but firm. But Kendrick was beyond consolation. The news had struck him like a thunderbolt, leaving him bitter. Without a word, he sprang from his seat, his eyes flickering with a mix of anger and grief. He marched out of the room, the fluorescent lights in the hospital corridor flickering in synchrony with his racing pulse. His gaze darted towards a nurse pushing a gurney down the hall, the direction of the mortuary area, where his mother's lifeless body lay. A surge of anger and grief coursed through his veins, his eyes blazing with a fierce intensity. "F*ck!! Alexander, you've done the worst!" he exclaimed, slamming his fists onto the wall. The outburst echoed through the corridor, drawing the attention of the hospital staff. Storming into the receptionist room, Kendrick barked orders at Xavie

Alex and the Rogers, though wealthy and heavily connected, had never set their eyes on a vehicle made entirely of gold. Louis watched in astonishment as she turned to Alexander.. "Now that's the real deal, dear. She smiled a bit, then continued. When I give birth to your son, hope you'll get me a car as beautiful as that?" Alexander chuckled, he knew he would have to break the bank to get such a car, so he mumbled a reply. " That's expensive, yunno" "Are you saying that I don't deserve an expensive car?" "No that's not what I meant dear.. don't panic, I'll treat you just well." He replied hastily as he rolled his fingers on his beard. Before Alex could say another word, the luxury cars came to a halt, heavily uniformed men emerged from the vehicles, their movements swift and synchronized. A guard hastened to the driver's door and knocked on the tinted window, which slowly rolled down to reveal the occupant. Louis and Katherine Rogers' eyes were fixed on the car, t

That same evening, the air was cold as the convoy drove back into the estate. The powerful engines purred one last time before falling silent, and the guards swiftly dispersed to their respective quarters. Only the three ladies remained, stepping out of the Rolls-Royce Boat Tail, their movements graced with excitement as they walked into the mansion. Bridgette pulled off her glasses, tucking them into her clutch as she stretched her legs. The exhilaration of the drive still buzzed through her, but the weight of unknown happiness pressed down on her shoulders. Evelyn, still sipping her wine, exhaled deeply.“Well,” she mused, “that was a ride worth every second.”Emily grinned as she shoved her phone into her pocket. “And worth every headline. Social media’s still on fire… Come see this.” She said, stretching out her phone to her sister. “I knew it would be just that way, baby girl.” Evelyn replied as she flung her skirt.Bridgette chuckled, the sound light but short-lived.

Inside the queen's ride, Bridgette adjusted her sunglasses, the morning light reflecting off the deep sapphire-blue hood. Beside her, Evelyn smirked, sipping an iced latte as if they weren’t about to take the most extravagant ride of their lives.From the backseat, Emily Peterson, the youngest of the Peterson siblings, clicked her tongue as she scrolled through her phone. “The whole city is talking about this car. Social media is blowing up.”Evelyn chuckled. “Well, it’s not every day someone gives their wife a $28-million-dollar car just because they can.”Bridgette shook her head, amused. “You make it sound so excessive.”Evelyn shot her a look. “Oh, sweetheart, it is exce

For the first time in what felt like forever, Bridgette felt light unburdened. She sat beside Kendrick, fingers clung to his, her free hand resting protectively on her stomach.The man who had once been a stranger to her, even as her husband, now looked at her with hope and delight. Then, as the music softened, Kendrick smiled, his voice low and intimate. “Tell me something, love.”Bridgette turned, meeting his piercing gaze. “What is it?”He smirked. “If you could have any car in the world, which one would it be?”Bridgette’s brows furrowed in confusion before she let out a breathless laugh. “We have enough cars to last a lifetime, Kendrick. I don’t think I need another.”Kendrick shook his head. “That’s not what I asked. Humor me.”Bridgette rolled her eyes playfully, tapping a finger to her chin as if deep in thought. “Fine,” she mused. “

In a matter of seconds, the grand Peterson mansion, usually filled with an air of wealth and untouchable prestige, now buzzed with a rare energy of joy. It was the kind of joy that had long been absent, buried under the fact that the man who was first in the row was missing. But tonight, that joy reigned, as if the very walls of the estate sighed in relief.Bridgette sat beside Kendrick on the plush velvet couch in the main parlor, her fingers glued with his. The look on her eyes envisaged the past weeks, the confusion, the fear, all of it had finally begun to lift. Kendrick was here. He had remembered. And more than that, he had chosen her. Chosen their child.She felt his thumb stroke her knuckles gently, grounding her in the moment. His touch was warm, firm, and silent.Across from them, Emily leaned against the grand fireplace, her eyes softened for once. Lisa, Bridgette’s househelp sat beside her, a satisfied smirk playing at her lips, watching the scene unfold with the ai
CHAPTER 330.
Very early the next day, Bridgette sat in the grand Peterson mansion, her fingers trembling as she clutched the warm cup of tea Evelyn had given her. The weight of her confession hung between them, thick and suffocating. Evelyn's blue eyes bore into her, searching for any hint of deception, but all she found was raw, unfiltered confusion.“You… don’t remember?” Evelyn’s voice was careful, measured.Bridgette swallowed hard. “No, I…I swear, Evelyn. I can’t remember ever being with someone. But I’m pregnant.” Her voice cracked on the last word.Evelyn exhaled, setting her cup down. She knew Bridgette wasn’t lying. The woman before her was unraveling, struggling to piece together a puzzle with missing fragments. But what worried her most was the implication.Bridgette was pregnant. And if what she was saying was true, then there was only one possibility.Kendrick.Evelyn’s stomach churned. “Bridgette… the night you went to see Kendrick at rehab, do you remember anything? Anything at all

With Lisa’s heart pounding as the nurse’s words echoed in her mind the second time."Pregnant. Bridgette was pregnant!"She blinked, trying to process the weight of that revelation. Of all the things that had happened, this was the most unexpected. She glanced at her best friend lying unconscious on the hospital bed, her face pale and damp with sweat.Lisa ran a shaky hand through her hair, glancing between Bridgette and the nurse. “Are you sure?” she asked, her voice barely above a whisper.The nurse gave a small smile. “Yes. The test results confirmed it. It’s still early, but she needs to take care of herself. Stress isn’t good for the baby.”Lisa swallowed hard, her mind reeling. How was Bridgette going to handle this? With everything going on Kendrick’s condition, the unanswered questions about his attack, this pregnancy would change everything.Just then, Bridgette let out a soft groan, her fingers twitching slightly. Lisa snapped back to the present, moving closer to the bed."
CHAPTER 328
Kendrick had begun his rehabilitation exercises, he was determined to regain full use of his left leg. Each step was a battle, his muscles straining under the effort to move in synchrony. The quiet focus of the room was broken when Xavier walked in, on his trail was his sister, Evelyn. As soon as Evelyn’s eyes landed on Kendrick, her composure melted. She ran across the hall, towards him, her emotions casting all caution to the wind. Without caring, she wrapped him in a tight embrace. Kendrick froze, wobbling slightly as he struggled to balance on his good leg. His hands hovered in the air, uncertain whether to return the gesture or not. His brows furrowed, confusion evident on his face. He didn’t recognize this woman, and instinctively, he knew she wasn’t Bridgette. Tears streamed down Evelyn’s face as she whispered, her voice trembling, “I’m so glad you’re alive. I thought you were dead—that I’d lost you forever.” “Dead?” The word rang in Kendrick’s mind like an alarm. His expr
