In the Villa of the Commissioner of Health, Dr. J Ryder. He sat, leaning against his Swivel chair, confusion etched on his face, with great intensity he slammed his hands on the desk heavily. He developed a great level of animosity for Kendrick instantly. How would he go beyond his boundaries? He muttered to himself.Like a flash of light, he picks up his phone, places a call, and sets the phone on speaker. A deep male voice answered from the other side, his voice echoed in the speaker. It was Alex's."Hello old boy," Alex said. "What have you done about the news that's fast spreading?... How on earth did you lead that lad to my safehouse?" He asked, his voice carried the weight of bitterness that lingered in his mind. "I am keeping everything in place to ensure he has a toothache, Dad…. He is biting more than he can chew." Alexander snarled." Where are you at the moment?" Ryder asked. "Dad .. you know, the funniest part of it is that, immediately I dropped those items and tu

Immediately Kendrick turned, his eyes flared in surprise, a man pointing a gun at him, just behind his ears. His mouth dropped open, forming a silent 'O' of surprise and terror. "Don't move! Raise your hands man!! The attacker whispered to Kendrick from behind. Kendrick raised his hands slowly, his palms outward in a defensive gesture, " Alright… That's alright… take it easy man." He said in a surprising time as he shifted a bit. The air in the Inn was cold, but Kendrick felt drops of sweat run down his neck. He needed to be calculative since he didn't understand what the man needed. The observers in the hall, at high alert yelled. The securities marched towards the scene, The man, observant of it, yelled even louder with a commanding tone, " Nobody moves!! Any other step or noise and I'm going to pull the trigger!!" The air clouded with tension, the sudden silence of whispering voices set in, their laughter and chatter halted, as all eyes fixed on the scene unfolding

Some hours passed, and the eating and drinking was over, Kendrick turned his eyes from where he was sitting, his gaze went straight in a distant corridor that led to the workers unit. He shifted his gaze, his eyes widened, "there she is." He said to himself.He has just sighted Sophia from a distance, he stood up and excused himself as he walked towards the office unit. "Where are you going, Kendrick? Kelly asked." A minute bro, I'll be back." He replied coldly.He walked straight faster, he needed to ensure he had the footage by all means, his friends and relatives are already in Texas, how absurd would it be to hear that he couldn't defend himself from what was coming to him?" He muttered as he moved.Soon, he approached the the entrance, two huge guards maned the way, his eyes moved gently to a writing on the top of the door. "Out of Bounds, Workers entry only." He shook his head gently, he knew he would need to be permitted before he could have access, so he turned to the re

Not long had Mr. Powell walked in, Sophia rushed out to greet her father, she approached with a smile on her face, but immediately she emerged to see Kendrick with him, her eyes narrowed. An awestruck expression clouded her eyes."Come on my precious Jewel.. How have you been?" Mr. Powell said as he hugged her closely. "I'm fine Dad, … when did you fly into the state?" She asked."Just this afternoon dear. He quickly turned to Kendrick, here… young master, Kendrick Peterson… were you aware you had a high profile custormer of this nature?" He asked Sophia who pretended like she never knew him."Mr. Kendrick, here's my daughter, … Sophia, my only precious Jewel." He gestured to Kendrick. He smiled slowly, a feigned smile that made it seem like he too was seeing her for the first time. "Please come in, … why didn't you tell me that you were returning today,... I would have prepared a grand reception for your arrival." Sophia said, her hands gesturing in the air. " That's even th

Immediately he said that he turned to see that Mr. Powell was greatly pleased. A bright smile illuminated his face, "I expected you to say that, and I am very pleased… I'll be so delighted to leave them in your care, knowing I started those companies, and that a diligent man purchased them." Mr. Powell responded, rubbing his palms graciously. Sophia's face was neutral, she never thought a thing like this would happen, she knew her dad had always wanted the best for her, but not after she had given up on the Petersons. Although her Dad never knew of her previous closeness with Kelly, Kemdrick's late brother. She never believed it would settle back to him. Immediately, she saw that her eyes were betraying her, she shook off the feeling, afterall they would be nothing but business partners. Mr. Powell turned to her Swifty, "Tell me, what's your thoughts on what I've said so far?" He asked. Sophia's face lightened, her father could see her cheeks glowing in amusement, but her re

It was a message from Barr. Florence. She had verified the documents and the carol of a woman was paid off.Mr. Bob had happily gone on social media to sing the praises, filling his page with encomium.Outside the inn, the atmosphere was bathed in a soft golden light, the sun's rays were hiding its scorching touch in the cloud, preparing the shadows of the evening to take over the sky."I'll see you later man, please try to keep in touch," Kendrick said to Terry, he smiled and muttered a reply."You made my day, man…next time don't be out without guards"A gentle breeze blew across Kemdrick's face and he watched him enter his Audi Rs e-tron, a car valued at about 300,000 dollars, and zoomed off." Where are you heading young master? Ivy asked."Going home from here, what about you?""I would be spending tonight in Baytown, I have a meeting to catch up there tonight" Ivy replied, as she turned to observe the car park."Did you come with your car?" Kendrick asked again, but immediately

Kendrick's voice was laced with concern as he spoke through the phone, "Dr. Astrid, are you there? Can you hear me?" He paused, waiting for a response. The line crackled, and Dr. Astrid's voice came through, slow and calm, but with a hint of weariness. "Kendrick, I've been transferred to the local hospital in Star County." Kendrick's eyes widened in disbelief. Star County? That was the last place he expected to hear. Dr. Astrid, one of the best doctors he knew, didn't deserve to be relegated to such a remote location. And to make matters worse, she had been demoted. His mind raced. This had to be the doing of Dr. J Ryder, seeking revenge for Dr. Astrid's suspension of his son. Kendrick's determination grew. "That's not fair, Dr. Astrid. I'll do something about it. I'll meet you early tomorrow and get to the bottom of this." Dr. Astrid's response was low, but a hint of hope crept into her voice. "I'll look forward to seeing you, Kendrick." Kendrick quickly dropped the phon

Soon, they were seated in the dining room. Kendrick's hands rested on the polished table, the shimmering glass reflecting on his face. At the center of the table, a silver platter bore a pyramid of fresh fruits, juicy strawberries, succulent grapes, and sun-kissed oranges. Kendrick picked a green apple and bit it gently, chewing every bit of it. He observed, his father's eyes kept turning to him at every point. The sweet aroma of coffee wafted through the air, Kendrick and his father savoured each sip. Then Alice emerged from the kitchen with a tray, firmly gripped in her hands, it contained a plate of scrambled eggs and crispy croaker fish. She lowered her knees and dropped it gracefully on the table. Kendrick took bites of his meal, then emptied his cup of coffee. "I'll have to leave now, Dad." He said. Mr. Peteron's eyes raised gently and settled on Kemdrick's face, "You'll have to do what?... Don't tell me you're going out today after I told you that your sisters w

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. Her amus

Texas, a city that came alive even during the evening. Its nights gleamed over the Peterson estate as the roar of luxury engines filled the morning air. The convoy was a sight to behold, sleek black Power cats high-performance sports cars, and at the center of it all, the Rolls-Royce Boat Tail, an icon of power. 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

The celebration in the Peterson mansion had spilled into the night. Laughter, fine wine, and the echoes of newfound joy filled the grand halls. 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. “
CHAPTER 331
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
CHAPTER 329
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
