"Can we go out young master?... You'll definitely get something more delicious to eat out there, please." Emily pleaded.Kendrick stood up reluctantly from the chair, his feet making a scrinch sound on the floor."That's fine, then." He replied and turned to Evelyn who was resting her head on the sofa and asked. "Aren't you coming with us?" Evelyn hesitated for some minutes before jumping from the chair. "Where are you two going?" "He was to take me out today, so I believe we're going to anywhere nice, to have fun." Emily replied with a calm smile, while Evelyn sighed gently.The two spent another 10 minutes exchanging words, so Kendrick folded his arms as he watched them, Emily said all she had to say with a smile on her face, then she turned towards the exit door without looking back. "I'll be coming then, I hope you would buy me something very expensive out there?" Evelyn asked, then rushed to follow him.Kendrick turned with a shocking gaze, he couldn't believe she was going
Emily kept turning to observe the pearl and diamond jeweleries that adorned a part of the mall."Look, see that bro." She said, pointing at a set of diamond necklaces, that shimmered in a small glass box.It dangled back and forth, giving sparkling reflections. Evelyn turned and suddenly, her eyes sparkled. "That's beautiful! She exclaimed as she turned to it. "I need that particular necklace, bro… please, get it for me, it would fit the dress I want to use for mum's funeral." Emily said. Kendrick nodded gently and turned with her to the glassware, immediately he got to it, his eyes widened at the price tag that clung to the box. "That's so expensive, Emily." He said as she obsevered it, a whooping 5million doallars for a necklace?" He exclaimed. He turned to Evelyn who was patting Emily on the shoulders.Evelyn smirked, "Yeah, it's the most expensive necklace here, I guess." She said as she bent to check the rest of it. Kendrick shook his head gently and replied, "let's get s
"If that's what it is, sir… then you'll have to speak with our manager… no one has ever made such a purchase here to that amount here." The salesgirl said in a calm and gentle tone. Keins Reels laughed sarcastically, he turned to his girlfriend who was watching Kendrick in anticipation of what was to happen. "That's actually fine by me." Kendrick said."But that would be my sister's face if you're to put it out there." He said, pointing to Emily, and she grinned. The salesgirl rushed to the receptionist's table, and pressed a bell, informing the manager of the purchase they were about to have.The manager was astonished, Kendrick could hear her voice from the loudspeaker, it was loud enough that even Reels could hear her say, "...Please I'm coming to meet him." Shocked rippled through Keins Reel's eyes when he saw the manager rush out towards Kendrick "You're welcome, sir… I'm very sorry she allowed you to stand, can you follow me to my office please." She pleaded as she beckon
Soon, they arrived home and the giant gates paved way to the glittering Benz, the guards drove in first, then Kendrick followed behind. Like a march of armies, the guards rushed to open the car door for Kendrick and his sisters. As he alighted from the car, his eyes scanned the compound, then settled on Peace Churchill and Maverick sitting on the veranda, they quickly stood up when they saw Kendrick drop from the car. Kendrick strolled in their direction and asked. "What are you doing here, and how did you find this place?" Peace clapped her hands and laughed. "You thought it was a hidden place?... You thought we wouldn't know where you live?" Kendrick had a long day, he turned to see Emily and Evelyn walk into the house. "I am not in for this drama today, can you go ahead and say what you want here?" He asked, but Peace kept talking out of point. "You thought she wouldn't make it?... I came to inform you that she made it… she has a new house and a new ride." She
As Kendrick trudged upstairs, his mind was a whirl of conflicting emotions. The events of the day had left him weary, yet he knew rest would not come easily. His sister, Evelyn, was already tailing him with her rapid-fire questions, her curiosity as relentless as ever. "Kendrick, wait!" Evelyn called, her footsteps echoing up the grand staircase. "Do you really have a child on the way? And you didn't tell any of us?" Kendrick sighed, rubbing his temples. "Evelyn, it's not what you think," he replied, trying to keep his voice calm. "There are a lot of things happening that you don't know about." Evelyn's eyes were wide with a mixture of shock and excitement. "But is it true? Are you going to be a father?" Kendrick stopped at the landing, turning to face her. "Evelyn, I need you to trust me on this. There's a lot more to the story than what Peace said. I'll explain everything in due time, but right now, I have something important to do." Evelyn crossed her arms, a stubborn look
A week Later. A splash of rain splashed across the mansion, even though the sun blazed and cast a somber glow over the Peterson estate, its warm rays tempered by a gentle haze that veiled the sky. The air was heavy with the sweet scent of blooming flowers and the distant hint of freshly cut grass.It was the long-awaited day; the funeral ceremony of the late Mrs. Fiona Peterson, wife to the billionaire, and mother to the fastest-rising heir, Kendrick Peterson.Mourners dressed in elegant attire, with men in tailored black suits and women in designer dresses, their faces somber and their eyes red-rimmed from tears, and laughter. Kendrick stood out in a bespoke navy suit, his eyes gleaming with a mix of sadness and strength as he hung his hands on Emily, his sister.Exotic cars lined the driveway, their sleek bodies glinting in the sunlight. On the parkway, a Rolls-Royce Phantom, a Bentley Continental, and a Mercedes-Benz S-Class were among the luxury vehicles that had brought the w
Hours later, the celebration came to an end, the faces of the celebrants filled with ecstasy as they exchanged pleasantries.Stelcy felt a surge of liveliness as different people walked up to her raining escomunuim about the taste of her food."Oh my goodness, you did absolutely well" Evelyn said as she walked past her."Thanks Evelyn, you should have trusted my cooking prowess," she replied.Evelyn smiled and moved to Kendrick who was talking to the Governor of California, Mr. Whales Ferdinand."I thank you so much for honouring my invitation and for gracing today's event" Kendrick said with a pleasant smile on his face."Mr. Kendrick your father has done so much to this state and the world at large that I should hesitate to stop by" Whales Ferdinand replied as he turned to greet the other executive that either shook hands or plants kisses on each other's cheeks."Young master, I wouldn't believe that Stelcy surprised us with such a delicious meal, I doubled it from the onset" Evelyn
Stelcy's silence was oppressive, then suddenly, the hallway erupted with the heavy stomping of shoes. Her heart raced as seven policemen marched towards them with precision, their faces stern and unyielding. Each step echoed ominously, building tension with every approaching second.The air was suffocating, Kendrick's mind reeling with questions. But his voice was trapped, unable to escape. The only sound was the relentless pounding of footsteps, a cadence that seemed to signal the end of it all. "Here she is..arrest her immediately" Evelyn said as she pointed at Stelcy who was pacing back and forth. Ghostbumps rippled on Stelcy's face, she was innocent, she wailed as the officers held her, placing a handcuff in her hands."Was she the only person handling the meals?" One of the officers asked in a deep voice.Stelcy's eyes widened in terror as the officers closed in on her. "No, no, no! I didn't do anything!" she protested, her voice shaking. The handcuffs clicked into place,
