Emily pulled the flowers down, sticking each in her fingers, one after the other. After inspecting her actions for some minutes he cleared his throat, and she stuttered. "Hey, young master Kendrick… you returned." She said with a smile on her face. "What are you doing there dear?" Kendrick replied calmly, hugging her clos to himself. Emily laughed when he tickled her cheeks with his fingers, and said. " How was work today, bro?" "Work went well dear, … I hope you had a nice time, at home too?" Kendrick replied and she nodded gently."You should go inside,... Ther

He had set the alarm, a perfect timing for his pending meeting with his board of MDs.The alarm blared to life, shattering the silence that accompanied the morning, with a loud "Krrrriiing sound" that echoed through the room.He rubbed his eyes gently, first, he picked up his device and typed a message to his secretary, informing him of the venue for the meeting, the message went across and a tick reflected to show that it was delivered.He strolled into the bathroom, carrying out his morning rituals of bathing and doing down for breakfast, then returned to his room to dress up for the business of the day. In ten minutes, he was already set, so he emerged from his room, his shiny brown leather shoes clicking majestically on the marble floor leaving a spark of class.The sounds of greetings resonated and returned with waves and friendly glances as he opened the door, stepped o

"How the hell would he do such a thing to me?... Is it because he knows me?... Has he lost his respect or something?" Peace scowled as she walked outside the hall.She stood for some minutes and decided to storm into the hall again, to make Kendrick know that she wasn't mincing words, she wouldn't stand out there all that long. But as she moved closer to the door, a guard blocked the entrance. "The boss had informed me to ensure that you wait here till the meeting was over, since you weren't prepared for it." The man's voice was calm, but then Peace flared up. "What insolence, do you know who I am?... Can you tell how many years I've worked with the company?... Or are you thinking that I'll fear you for any reason?" She scowled.The guard made no move, but only ensured that she wasn't entering the hall. "Can you be calm until the boss is out, or until he advises you to go in? Another guard who mouthed the other side of the door added. But Peace turned to him with a redened eye,

"Hah… no, but I saw a text from him earlier today, he talked about Pat… I read it, but couldn't understand what he meant." Sophia said. "Talked about Pat? My late brother?" Kendrick asked curiously. .." Can I see it, please?" He added. Sophia's eyes widened as she handed her phone to Kendrick, her brow furrowed in confusion. Kendrick glanced through the message and raised his eyes gently to her. " How did you meet this guy and when?" He asked, The room seemed to grow quieter, the only sound the soft hum of the air conditioner in the background. Kendrick asked again in a surprised tone, "I don't seem to understand what he is saying here, or is he saying that he knew about your relationship with Kelly until his demise?" Sophia's eyes darted back and forth, her mind racing. "I met him four months after I missed contact with Pat, … Kelly... I'm fine with calling him Pat." She stammered. Kendrick's eyes narrowed, "I doubt he had anything to do with it, … I can recall m

"I personally sent you that text message so you could come see what you've caused her marriage." Peace said as she approached Kendrick.Kendrick shifted his gaze slowly to Louis who was talking to an officer, her face pale and changed, her cheeks burnt with humiliation when she saw Kendrick. "What's happening here?...and why should my name be dragged into this?" Kendrick asked Louis, but the words hung in her throat, she stammered as she replied. "I … I never invited you into this, Kendrick … although I knew that you'll find out about it, though." Her voice broke and Kendrick saw her lips trembling. He turned to a nearby officer, who was scribbling on a notepad, and asked, "Can I speak with the superintendent, please?" The officer's eyes snapped up, his expression a mix of curiosity and wariness. He hesitated for a moment, then nodded curtly, his eyes never leaving Kendrick's face. With a slight jerk of his head, he gestured for Kendrick to follow him, his hand resting on

Immediately Kendrick was out, Peace turned to Louis with a sharp gaze, "Why would you mention that to him… Don't you want this to work out perfectly? What if he finds out and refuses to accept the child?" Louis stared at her coldly, "How sure are you that he wasn't aware it isn't his? Didn't you tell him at the reunion that I was carrying Alexander's baby!" She replied, her voice trembled as she spoke. Maverick who was sitting by the side of the room stood up, and said. "Didn't I tell you guys?... I told you that he was some sort of a royalty, but you'll never listen… I meant, none of you ever thought of why grandfather brought him in, did you? He asked, his eyes turned to Peace, and back to Louis who lowered her face gently. Peace yanked at him, when she saw the reaction on Louis' face, "Shut your mouth! … What are you saying that for? Weren't you also among those who downplayed him?" She asked , her lips curled as she spoke. Maverick returned to his seat, he could feel the

As she pressed towards him, a doctor emerged from the next door, and immediately he saw Kendrick, he rushed towards him with a smile on his face."Oh my goodness… I'm glad to see you here, sir." He lowered his head as he greeted him. Kendrick turned slowly, shifting his gaze from Mrs. Alex' face to his, he could recognize him, he was one of the doctors in Astrid's medical team that day. Yet he composed himself, and asked pretentiously, "Do I know you doctor?" His eyes locked onto his curiously."Yes sir." Dr Marx replied in a warm tone, his hands gesturing in the air as he explained."Oh, that's fine. … How do you do?... you work here?" Kendrick asked, his eyes sparkled sending multi reactions to Mrs. Alex' face.She snarled, "Mr. Please don't pretend like you're not aware that I was talking to you" When the doctor noticed how tensed she sounded, he quickly interfered."No, Ma… you don't sound that way with him… this is Mr. Kendrick Peterson.. are you new in town not to know how

Kendrick arrived home later that evening with a tired look on his face, he stepped out of the car and stumbled into the living room with a sigh that made everyone turn to his direction. "Hey, young master is back." Emily said as she rushed to hug him.Evelyn and Mr. Peterson sat on the sofa facing each other, their eyes raised in a soft gaze, welcoming him back home. "Let me get your bag, young master." Emily said, and Kendrick allowed the bag to her, it was heavy so she contracted as she went up the stairs. "Good evening Dad." Kendrick greeted as he walked closer to him, he sank into the sofa just by his side. "How was work today?... I hope you're getting along with the system… I'm told you had a meeting with the Board of MDs today. Tell me about it."

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. “

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

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."

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
