"Come right in." Kendrick had said while raising his head to inspect who that was, Mrs. Alex greeted him with a blank stare in her eyes. "You're welcome, please… come sit down," Kendrick replied. "I had retired reaching you all through yesterday evening after I got a call that a man named Kendrick had signed for that witch to be released." She said, while she shifted the steelcase office ch

But then he remembered, there was a more important question he needed to ask, "How did you get in touch with Eric Templar, that he had to leave you with bruises?" The silence that followed that question was palpable, Sophia took minutes to process her reply, then with a cracking voice, she replied coldly."I expected you to start by asking how I'm fairing, Kendrick."

Her eyes scanned the sprawled-out bedroom, a king-sized bed placed in the middle of the room, that was where Old Rogers usually folded himself into whenever he called to advise them, then it turned to Katherine Rogers who was sitting on the chair close to the dressing mirror. "Is there a problem, dear?" Katherine asked. Peace Stumbled into the room, her eyes swollen and reddened."Yes… Yes, there's a problem, Mum." She said, her voice trailing off as she spoke.

"Are you still there?..." He asked, and Sparrow's voice came alive with a small crackling. "Go on, I'm listening to you." Sparrow replied. Peterson cleared his throat, then said, "you have nothing to say, Sparrow… that's his conpany, and he has the right to handle it the way it pleases him… The sky is wide enough brother, and you can soar in another direction instead of jealousing an eagle who is already on flight." Sparrow calculated the words, he gave a deep sigh, then replied in a hard tone. "Wasn't he greedy to get those companies from Maradona and I? … why didn't you tell him to let go of it?." Peterson's eyes flickered, he shook his head and with a louder voice, he replied. "... You and Maradona had staked your assets… and the boy won. What was I supposed to do? Stop him? … you and I know that it is not done that way." Sparrows voice lowered, he could feel the pain of defeat, he stammered. "... He… he never defeated, if he did, then why is he kicked out of h

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.

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. “

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
