"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."

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

The silence that followed was deafening, so Kendrick dropped the call. "I'll rather wait for her to call and inform me about it." He thought to himself before standing up to walk up the stairs. °Over lunch that day, the clouds had released its tears to the earth, the leaves danced joyfully after having a cold bath from the heavy downpour. Kendrick sat opposite Evelyn, the table was meant for a family of six, but here it had only the two of them sitting over plates of assorted meals."I've got no appetite, Kendrick."

"It's not about sounding pitiful, just feeling so empty, Kendrick… mum's gone, now dad is sick, and… I'm not even married yet.' Evelyn said. Kendrick's eyes widened, his spoon fell off his hands. "... what's that Eve?... Come on, you don't need to sound that way, Dad will be fine. I think it's high time you take your mind off mum

Kendrick walked outside the compound, his hands clung to his waist, he stood just by the veranda, his eyes scanning the environment with a calm precision.Not long, Evelyn joined him, "I was saying something, and you didn't respond, why?" She asked. "I'm your sister for goodness sake… talk to me!" Kendrick turned slowly to her, "You don't need to bother about me… I always have my way of handling issues, Eve." Just as he stood in wait for Peace and Katherine to arrive, a call landed in his phone. He hurriedly check, it was an unknown number, so he hesittaingly picked it.

"Ma… can you please stop this?... I called and pleaded with him to come to assist us and not to come to face what you're trying to do here." Maverick exclaimed, pointing at Katherine and Peace. His jaw clenched as he tried to apologize to Kendrick.The onlookers murmured loudly, pointing accusing fingers at Peace who kept talking back at him. Kendrick shook his head gently, then he walked towards Boris. "Can we go in, let's inspect what's been destroyed. How about the lady that was in this car?" He asked. "She was hurried to the hospital immediately after this happened." Kendrick nodded gently, when he turned back, he saw Xavier challenging Peace as they spoke bitterly to each other. He ignored them, "Do you have an estimate of the cost of these things she destroyed?" Kendrick asked. Boris looked at him and laughed, "... I am not here to entertain questions from you young man, all I need is my money!... and not questions." Kendrick's eyes flickered, "I am only asking you a sim

Kendrick watched her breath hard, and suddenly his chest felt tight, he wanted to run to her and ask what was bothering her, but then he decided to stand a distant from her. "What in God's name is wrong with you Evelyn?" He asked, his voice laced with concern.Evelyn yelled, "I have told you to find a way possible, and fly dad overseas for treatment, but you're being adamant!... I should be the one asking what's wrong with you, Kendrick." She yelled, her voice cracking with tension."Is that why you're behaving so odd?...

The powerful engines purred one last time before falling silent, and the guards swiftly dispersed to their respective quarters.

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.

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
