When Kendrick arrived home, everyone turned to him, he had truly changed overnight, it was the first time he stayed out, the first time he didn't respond to the greetings with a smile on his face.He dropped from the car and walked into the house, Emily was the first to run to him.“You're welcome young master, Kendrick… I didn't have breakfast with them… I was waiting for you to return”.Kendrick turned to her, she was smiling, anticipation lingered on her face, Kendrick's face was blank, he wasn't looking angry, and he wasn't smiling either.“Why would you have to do that?” He exclaimed in a calm tone.“I missed you, young brother”, She replied, rolling her eyes.“I did the same, dear… I’ll get back to you, okay?”He said moving up the stairs. When he entered his room, his eyes scanned as though searching for a lost item, he recalled the last words Alex muttered to him before leaving his hotel room.He walked into the wardrobe room, and emerged in a costly brown blazer, neatly fitte

"If this woman treats this man completely, then I'll be forced to promote her in my country." The governor of California said.Ryder laughed, "Let's wait to have it, then." He knew what it would mean for Astrid to receive a double promotion even across Texas, so he lowered his face to the ground, his heart pounding profusely. Two minutes later, a nurse emerged from the emergency ward, her face sullen, she walked into the next room and came out with a heavy bag filled with medical equipment, and some drugs. Kendrick hurried to her, his voice cracking. "How is it going?" He asked.With a heavy sigh, the nurse replied. " He isn't improving sir… his lungs have been heavily damaged, I fear he might not survive." Kendrick shook his head gently, and she walked back into the treatment room. Tension gripped everyone that sat in the waiting room, even the governor, he needed Sparrow alive, to be able to get a refund of the political loans he offered him while he was vying for an office s

Two hours had elapsed, and Ryder with a flare of annoyance turned to the executive governors who sat pressing thier phones. "Two hours have ticked by, and I've had enough!" Ryder exclaimed, his annoyance palpable. He turned to the executive governors, his hands gesturing emphatically. "We can't continue to waste our time here, sirs... Your Highness, you've all acknowledged it yourselves - this is a futile exercise. If that incompetent individual had nothing better to do, he'd be handling this himself, instead of dragging busy officials like us into his mess. We have pressing state affairs to attend to, and I refuse to squander any more time on this wild goose chase!"Whales Ferdinand, the governor of California, raised his head slowly, before turning to the other. "What do you think about to that, sir?" His mind reeled, he thought of the activities that were pending after his ceremonial visit to Texas. "The news should be carrying information if his absence in office." He muttere

Chaos erupted in the room as the Governor turned with a pierced gaze to Astrid. "Are you saying that you didn't know the nurses who worked in your team? ... stop making us look like we should believe everything you say." Astrid remained calm, her face settled on completing the treatment process.Methot, provoked by all that was happening, turned to his guard, the gallant Brickstone, "Go... Fetch me that lady wherever she is!." His eyes reddened with anger."Yes sir." Brickstone exclaimed as he turned out.Kendrick, who was pacing back and forth, turned to the governor, his voice laced with urgency. "I believe this has something to do with the people that are present in this room,... How about I fetch them out... There's no way she would have treated him and a nurse from nowhere walked in and planted those sedatives in his stomach.""Exactly my point!" Whales thundered."How about you come take a look at this?" Kendrick called out to the governor handing him his phone. When Whales

Mrs. Alex gives Kendrick a warm hug, apologizing for always treating him like a nobody.Alexander, who was being ushered out, turns to Kendrick, his eyes clouded with anger. "I swear, you'll hate my next move... I will face this, and after I return…you'll have to wait and see what will happen to you!" He scowled. The security personnel dragged him away, making Kendrick stutter gently. Immediately he was dragged away, Astrid came out of the ward, her face looking stressed, she was done with the treatments. "He will be fine." She exclaimed, turning into the next office by the right. **********The tension in the waiting room was palpable, until a nurse burst out of the emergency ward, her face etched with urgency."Dr.Astrid, please come quickly!" she called out, her voice firm but laced with concern.Astrid's eyes widened as she sprang into action, her heart racing with anticipation. She rushed into the ward, her eyes scanning the room then it landed on Sparrow."Sparrow!" she exc

Kendrick observed the phone with a flickered eye, everything wasn't in place, he hurried to Methot. "I'll have to return home right now." He announced, his voice quickening.Methot turned with a concerned stare, his eyes locked onto Kendrick's. "Why the urgency?... Is everything alright?" He asked. "we've not concluded on getting statements from Sparrow in regards to what we planned." Kendrick shook his head gently, "Okay… how about you handle that, I have an emergency at home." He said the urgency in his voice made Methot stutter. He didn't finish his words when Xavier hurried into the clinic, he tapped Kendrick on the shoulder, his voice barely above a whisper. "... There's a critical situation back at home, sir… I …I just got a call from Santos." Kendrick turned, gesturing for them to leave, his pace faster as he hurried towards the car. "I'll call the police… I believe that they'll arrive there before you do." Methot assured in a loud voice."I might stop by immediatel

When they arrived at the door that should lead them into the main building, it was locked too. "This should be where they stopped, sir… these doors are bullet proof… so hard to break in." Xavier announced. " I think… I must believe, is there nothing we could do to get in?" An officer asked Kenrick. He dipped his hands into his pocket and brought out a set of keys, and tried them on the lock, but it wasn't turning. Kendrick's eyes lowered. "They must have tempered on it, we'll need to use the central lock room, sir." Xavier exclaimed. Another officer hurried through. "We tried breaking thigh this part, but we couldn't." He said, pointing to the door. "Where does this other door lead to?"Another asked in a curious tone, and Kendrick turned the knob like a blowing plume.Suddenly, his eyes fell on one of the guards, he was shot dead, his head bleeding. " Oh my goodness… . What's all this shit!" Kendrick exclaimed. Another man laid just by the other side, lifeless too. He must

"There should be another guard to man the stairs that led to his room." Kendrick thought to himself. The policeman moved in slowly, his steps calculated. They were surprised to see Kendrick understand all the signs they used. An officer pointed to the right, then to the left, and quickly they divided themselves into different directions. Kendrick stuck to the group that went up his room. As they were going up, a man tumbled down from the stairs, his body wounded, and filled with stains of blood. He quickly sprang up pointing his gun at the officer, but he was shot. Kendrick's eyes widened, he could hear a voice up the stairs. "I'm a guard at work here!!" The man announced. With a sudden turn, the officer's eyes met Kendrick's. "Can you recognize the voice, sir?' One of the officers asked with a low voice and Kendrick nodded gently. "If you're in there alone… raise your hands and come out gently!" An officer responded."If you don't obey that, then we might be

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.

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

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. “

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

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."

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
