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

"I said, what of Aunty Stelcy?" She repeated. Her tiny voice blared in the air. The gracious outpour of encomium and good wishes spurred in the air, each settling on Kemdrick's face and reflecting in his smile, his lips curled as he thought of a reply. "I really missed her." She continued. "She would be back dear… I'll tell her that you missed her… okay?" Kendrick replied gently. Brown nodded gently, he was lost for rightful words. Stelcy was more like a sister to him since his biological sisters were all afar, but the weight of her betrayal pricked Brown constantly, it was like a sharp object that pierced him gently. "How could she have done a thing as that? What on earth did he do to deserve to be betrayed to that extent?" He muttered to himself gently. A whirlwind of thoughts flowed uncontrollably from Kemdrick's mind destroying the jovial moment he had some minutes ago. The worse of it all is that his father, Mr. Peterson believed that crap, if Kendrick needed a woman,

Kendrick's instincts snapped into high gear, his eyes locking onto the Livestream like a hawk on prey. Florence had moved swiftly, assembling a powerhouse panel to address the news that had shaken the morning. The chief judge of the Supreme Court and six esteemed advocates, including the formidable Blacksworth Cooper, were already deep in discussion. Cooper's voice was a low rumble, his words dripping with authority as he dissected the legal nuances of the fabricated news. Kendrick's eyes were glued to the screen. The senior advocate's words were a scalpel, slicing through the noise to reveal the cold, hard truth. "This is a classic case of disinformation, ladies and gentlemen," Cooper declared, his eyes blazing with intensity. "A deliberate attempt to manipulate public opinion and undermine the rule of law in areas concerning a dent of reputation,... it is a false allegation, We the people of America must not let it stand." Kendrick's heart raced with anticipation, his sens

It was a message from Sophia's father, Richard Powell, the third richest man in the world had joined the conversations too. He asked himself. That would mean that the whole world was out for him, he narrowed his eyes and felt the bravery kicking in. "Well, well, well… it seems like I've given myself the most thrilling moment because of this superhero of a guy, I want to let the world know that I am sending him, a bulletproof Bugatti Chiron," Kendrick's eyes widened in disbelief as he read the message from Richard Powell, the third richest man in the world. "A bulletproof Bugatti Chiron? That's a $4.5 million gift! …This is getting interesting," Kendrick thought to himself. He felt a surge of bravery, knowing that he was taking over slowly and there were no forces that could hinder him. With a smile spreading across his face, Kendrick began to type a response…. "Mr. Powell, I'm speechless. Your generosity is overwhelming. But I want to make one thing clear: I didn't do i

Back in Alexander's villa, his teeth clenched and his jaw tightened in anger as he inspected the Livestream, his anger increased with each passing minute."How dare she do a thing as this?" He muttered to himself.. and imagine, Blacksworth Cooper of all people?... I thought he was a loyalist to my Dad?" He added, his anger palpable.He stood up, pacing back and forth in the house, his mind racing with the thoughts of striking an even harder agenda. "This dude must be joking with me!" He yelled and slammed his hands on the desk. "Green!! Green!!... Come here immediately!" He yelled, his tone commanding and authoritative. Immediately, a young man in his mid-30's rushed into the room, his eyes darting around the place. "Yessur!" He replied hastily. "Where were you when I called you the first time?... I have warned you never to allow me to call your name more than once… and if that happens again… if it happens again! ". His voice roared as he pointed at him.Green quickly lowered his

"Alex… You'll have to rush to the hospital downtown and ensure everything is well kept, do well to hide every single item that might implicate us!... Do that now!" Alexander's eyes scanned the screen gently, he couldn't identify who had sent the message so he reluctantly strolled back into the room.°Back in the Peterson's mansion, Kendrick sighed gently when his eyes settled on the particular comment he was looking for, but then it wasn't as deep as he thought. Itwas Sophia's casual way of appreciating a kind gesture."You deserve accolades, Prince Charming."" Prince charming?" Kendrick asked himself… that sounded weird and at the same time, pleasing to him. "How would a lady dislike and admire someone at the same time?" He reacted to the comment, then shrugged his shoulders and left the screen. As he walked towards the stairs, his mind reeled, reminding him that he was to meet with Dr. Astrid, and that she had called him severally but he was carried away by the Lives

"I came to make an inquiry about a pressing issue at hand." Kendrick started…Dr. Astrid quicky sat up, shifting into her chair to ensure she was comfortable, " Is it about your mum's demise?" She asked curiously."No, not about that,... You see, the family would be gathering soon on what to me, is nothing but a conspiracy,..." He spoke with calculated words, ensuring he informed her of all she needed to know, the words flew out of his lips freely and enveloped Dr. Astrid, finding its way into her ears, and down to her brain where she processed them with a mix of intrigue and concern. Her eyes locked onto Kendrick's, her gaze intense. "A conspiracy, you say? That sounds serious. Please, go on."Kendrick's voice was firm, his words tumbling out carefully, he went into details, informing her of what had transpired between him and Stelcy, and the test result he saw at the hospital the other day. Dr. Thompson's expression turned thoughtful, her brow furrowed. "I see… that's a sad one

"Thank you so much for your attention and concern, Doc. Astrid." He said as he shook hands with her. Soon, he was done with the meeting, he turned out of the office with a smile on his face. Dr. Astrid's face looked so reviving, she must have felt a sense of ease settle on her chest, she was able to assist the fastest rising leader of all times, her cheeks lightened as she smiled. "I'll habe to take my leave doctor." Kendrick said as he walked towards the exit door. Out in the receptionist office, two of his guards manned the hallway, they lowered their heads when he walked out of the office. "It was indeed a pleasure to have you here sir." Dr. Astrid replied in a calm tone as she escorted him to the main entrance, but then when they got to the exit, Kendrick paused and turned to her again. "Please have this Ma… a token for your time and attention." And this cheque… use it to rehabilitate this medical facility to your taste." He said as he handed her a c

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.

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
