When Kendrick was done, it was time for him to conclude and get to the next event of the day, so he shook hands with Astrid and her team and gestured for them to return to their seats.Then he turned to the group who watched surprisingly, "Ladies and gentlemen, I want to welcome you all to a new era, as it stands…. I would first of all ask each and every one of you who signed this agreement to walk forward and redeem it!" His voice sounded firm and confident. There was a moment of silence when Maradona and the other members of the family who had pridefully signed the document stood up walking towards the podium. Kendrick could see Sparrow's hands shaking as he approached.The other sat, watching the scene unfold before their very eyes. They couldn't believe it had gone to that extent. "So they even went to the point of staking their assets to bring this man down?" One of the extended family members, Ethan asked in awe. Then shrugged his shoulders.Sparrow was the first to start, Flo

Inside the Peterson's mansion, Kendrick had earned his place and respect. Immediately he stepped into the house, his phone blared aggressively.Kendrick's hand instinctively reached for his phone, his mind racing with anticipation. But as he gazed at the caller ID, his curiosity turned to confusion. Eric Templar - a name that stirred a faint memory, yet remained elusive. His hesitation was momentary, and he answered with a calm, "Hello?" he said in a calm tone, but then a sharp yell of a deep male voice made him stutter. "I wouldn't want to linger around,... I called to warn you, to stay away from her!.. I won't say this again, stay… stay away from her if you like your life." Kemdrick's eyes widened, he couldn't imagine the weight of words he used. His thoughts raced with questions, "Stay away from her?" He asked himself, but the last time he remembered, Sophia was just his business partner, so he replied in a calm tone."Who is this and who are you asking me to stay away from?"

It was interesting turnaround of events, it was a great comeback. After what he had done to Alexander, this was the only way to humiliate him further. “Dad, go in and continue your meal, I'll be back shortly.” Kendrick said, winking at his father.“Commissioner of Police, who had such connections to involve the Commissioner with such short notice and appear with a warrant?” Mr. Peterson thought aloud.“It's Louis, Alexander new girlfriend and Kendrick's ex.” Evelyn said, eyeing Louis maliciously.“Dad, don't worry, he'll be fine. Kendrick always sorts himself.” Emily said, holding his hands reassuringly.“I want to see the girl who's causing my son harm, where is she?” Mr. Peterson bellowed, scattering his eyes around.“It is I you seek. Kendrick will suffer for whatever he's done to my boyfriend.” Louis blurted, glaring at him.“Have you got so empathy, Alexander killed my wife, his mother and you defend him outrightly. What kind of demon are you?” Mr. Peterson asked bitterly.“The

"When next you badge into someone's office, always ensure that you knock!! … Is that okay?" Kendrick exclaimed in a deep tone, his voice carrying the weight of the boss that he was. But then, Eric Templar laughed hysterically. "You mean, you can give orders to a man of my kind without thinking a second time?... Are you sure that you ain't stepping on the wrong foot?" He snarled, his eyes locked onto Kendrick's. Sophia watched in awe, she had never seen Kemdrick's face crunched up like that, she was dumbfounded, she knew he was angry, as much as she wanted things to end with Templar, she never wanted Kendrick to take the matter himself, so she interfered, her voice came with a soft hum. " Can you please calm down Kendrick?... I'll handle this from here." Her eyes turned slowly and settled on Templar'. "What do you want from me?... I have told you that I've got a lot in my hands and being in a relationship would be the last thing I can think of right now." "What did you just

Sophia seemed to have noticed the sudden change on his face, so she asked quickly."What's that?" Her eyes furrowed slightly.Kendrick waved gently, "it's nothing Sophia." "But at one point, you seemed disturbed." Sophia pressed on.Kendrick shook his head gently, then raised his eyes slowly. "It's not a serious issue… .just a notification from my friend, Charles, telling me that Alex is released, and his father, J Ryder is also released." Sophia's jaw dropped, she couldn't imagine that after they had reported Alex of being corrupt, he was still released? Confusion clouded her eyes. "That's not possible,... Released?... after all he did?" She exclaimed surprisingly.Kemdrick's tone was calm, he nodded. "Ofcourse, but again… that's nothing. His wife is pregnant, … I think that should be the reason for the decision." Sophia's eyes rolled, "What does that have to do with locking up a man as corrupt as those men? … That shouldn't be a valid excuse." She sighed loudly. " At least, he

"What were you doing that you didn't rush out when I came in earlier?" She asked. Iris stuttered, her voice cracking with tension."I…I am sorry Ma, I was busy in the kitchen." "That's fine, get those boxes upstairs… What of my husband?... I know he is not in, right?" Iris's voice trembled, he couldn't explain that there was another woman upstairs, her eyes clouded with shock, she stammered."Sir.. sir, was out since morning, and he hasn't returned yet." Mrs. Alex seemed to decode the stuttering, she sat up instantly, her eyes fixed on Iris' face."What's the problem with you?... Are you alright?" She asked curiously."No.. I mean, Yes Ma, I'm fine." Iris forced a smile, her lips curved a bit, but the words were heavy, they came in a low tone. "That's fine, when you go… ensure you get me water to drink, is Khanny still working here? … . If yes, please tell him to bring me the box in my room, there's a key in the side of the bag, you can use it to unlock the room." She replied, g

Louis' eyes flickered as she marched out of the room, but then Iris held her back."Please wait Ma… you don't need to storm out that way." She turned to her, how on earth was she going to dictate how she moves? She flung her hands and Iris' hands tumbled, losing her grip, and hurried out of her room.Iris stood alone, her mind reeled with unanswered questions, afterall, the building was wide enough to contain both of them… so they could just switch to different rooms." She thought for some minutes, then laughed at herself. Louis rushed into the hallway, and as she moved down the stairs, she bumped into Alexander. He had rushed home, and upon arrival, he had hurried upstairs using the back door, his aim to find out if everything was alright before he could go in, his heart was beating heavily. " Hey Babe." He paused instantly, his words trembling quickly."Hey, you're back??. … What's happening? Why are you early today?" She asked in a curious tone, her eyes widened as she stared

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.

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

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. “

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.

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?

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."

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
