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,

"Go back dear, I'll be back soon." Kendrick said as he closed the door.Outside the sprawled out mansion, Kendrick hastened towards the car, his hands swinging in the air as he moved. "Hey .. get into the car, and take me downtown,.. I'm heading somewhere very important." He said to Brown who was lingering by the side of the vehicle."Okay sir." Brown responded as he hurried to open the car door for Kendrick to enter.Kendrick moved into the car, leaning on the owner's seat, and they sped out of the compound.°Some minutes later, they arrived at the Countyside police Headquarters, and Kendrick rushed out, walking straight into the main office. An officer walked up to him and greeted him with a knowing smile. It was inspector Thud. "You're welcome sir… what brings you to my office today?" Thud asked."I'm told some ladies were brought here earlier today.. Haven't you heard of the recent happenings, or are you saying you're not aware?" Thud's eyebrows furrowed, his eyes narrowing s

Later that day, Kendrick dropped Sophia at the Diamond Tower before turning to leave. All he needed was to hear the news of Sparrow's well-being, so he called Dr. Astrid's contact to ask about the situation of things. But as it were, she informed him that J Ryder has taken charge of his medical treatment, so she had little or nothing to do about it. When Kendrick arrived home, his father was seated in the living room, watching the news on TV, he turned to him with a saddened look on his face. "Hello, Dad." Kendrick said. "You came back right on time, Kendrick." Peterson said. Kendrick greeted his father, showing his normal courtesy of lowering his head gently. Then he took a seat beside him. "Tell me, how did it go?... Can you see one reason I…" Peterson said, but his words trailed off as he tried to explain his point.Kendrick understood where was dragging at, so he interrupted."Dad, I had to give her a chance, withstanding she's my cousin fot goodness sake." He said, raisin

The next day met Kendrick at the crowd wall sitout, a silent and calm eatery located in the shores of Dallas. Dr. Astrid and Charles Methot sat directly opposite him, a bottle of red fruit wine, rested on the table, Methot taking sips from his champagne flute. "You mean that I should apply for Sparrow's medical treatment, Kendrick?" Astrid asked in a calm voice. "Ofcourse, that's what I meant, doctor .. I believe so much in your abilities and would want you to utilize this medium." Kendrick replied, gesturing to her. The walls of the inn seemed to be closing in on Astrid as she sat, her mind reeling with unanswered questions. She had always wanted to avoid everything that has to do with J. Ryder and his cohorts ever since he demoted her. "No.. no, no!!. That's not going to be possible, Kendrick." She protested. Shaking her head in disagreement. "What? … why that, Doctor?" Kendrick asked with a bewildered stare in his eyes. She arched her eyebrows, her eyes flashing with a hint

Kendrick turned with a dismissive wave, "You'll have to give it a try doctor… a try could convince you to strike." He said as he shook hands with Charles before turning to walk out of the eatery. Xavier and the other guards led the way and he followed behind, they marched as guardian angels leading the fastest rising heir. Just as he entered the car, a message dropped on his phone, he opened and inspected the screen. It was a message from Emily. "A woman named Louis is here, making a complaint about you young master." Kendrick's eyes widened, "drive me back to the house immediately!" He ordered Brown and he nodded gently.Louis had arrived at the Peterson's mansion, only to be resisted fiercely by the guards at the gate, but when she stepped out of the car, yelling and gesturing. Mr. Peterson who was sitting at the balcony had called and asked that she was allowed to drive in. When she drove in, she walked straight to the balcony and greeted Mr. Peterson with a feigned smile on

Kendrick went straight into the house, his face twisted with annoyance, it was time he showed them what he was truly made of, he knew he had to ensure that everyone who crossed his line paid through their nostrils. He had only accepted to stay with his father this long because of his health, but now his mind thought of expanding, of purchasing top end mansions in the coolest parts of the city. His feet slammed as he moved up the stairs, heading to his room. Just as he entered, he sat by the edge of his bed, and brought out his phone, then typed a message to Whales Ferdinand. "I would want you to speak with the governor of Texas, tell him that the situation about Mr. Sparrow is not as critical as the commissioner of Health puts it. .. I will be leading a team of medical experts to handle that tomorrow." His fingers swiped through the phone's screen and the message went through.He sat, anticipation lingered on his face as he awaited a response from him, his mind reeled with thought

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.

Texas, a city that came alive even during the evening. Its nights gleamed over the Peterson estate as the roar of luxury engines filled the morning air. 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
