Dr. Wealth's hands rose in a soothing gesture, his palms facing Kendrick as he took a step closer. His voice dropped to a gentle, calming tone, "Kendrick, please, let's take a deep breath and talk this through. Can you calm down for me, sir?" His eyes, filled with empathy, locked onto Kendrick's, trying to convey a sense of reassurance. His face, normally a mask of professionalism, now wore a concerned expression, his eyebrows slightly furrowed, and his lips pursed in a gentle, calming smile.Kendrick paused a bit, his face carrying the weight of unanswered questions that rained in his mind."I'm here, say what you want to say" He replied calmly.Evelyn, hearing the murmuring in the office, hurried to hear what they were talking about, when she opened the door, her eyes settled on Dr. Wealth's face. "Wealth!!" She thundered, smiling as she walked closer to him. Wealth quickly turned to her, trying to recall where he last saw the lady before him, and at once, his instinct kicked in.

Mr. Peterson did not call him back, he didn't say a word until Kendrick closed the door behind him. "Was he going to meet the woman?" He wondered before lying back on the bed.Some minutes later, Evelyn rushed out of the office, her eyes showing the urgency that settled on her face. She moved to her Dad with haste."I just got a transfer from Kendrick! This should be money for your medical treatment, Dad". She said, her voice laced with concern.Her father laughed gently, "I never said I had no money!" He protested.Evelyn grimaced. "I never said so either, but it is his way of showing how careful he is about you, Dad". She reckoned.Peterson's eyes rolled, she turned his head to face the wall, the silence between the both of them thickened as Evelyn wondered why he wasn't saying anything.Then, he turned to her again, his voice slow and faded. "If...if by any means I die...tell..." His voice crackled then trailed off as Evelyn interrupted quickly."You ain't dying!! Stop saying that,

A WEEK LATER. Back in the Tornados lodge where Alexander patched up with one of his nigga, Tobby. They sat together with some folks, as they conversed in hush tones. "Alexander, how sure are you that this deal is going to work out?" Tobby asked. "I bet that's the best way to get this done, that nigga didn't only cause me pain, he got my dad in jail, and I'm going to ensure I deal with him to the least of my ability!" He yelled. "I won't be surprised if you stand in front of him and can't shoot him down." Tobby said. Alex turned to him, his face crunched up, despite the silence in the room, the looks in his eyes spoke volumes. He cupped his hands to his mouth and spoke through his nose as though grumbling. "You haven't seen me pull down someone before? Huh?" "Yessum!" Tobby replied, then he laughed loudly. It made Alexander stutter, he shook his head and thought for a moment, thought about his past life where he lived in mansions and top end houses, the connect

He said. Evelyn stood by the other side of the living room, she nodded gently. "Yeah, but I haven't planned on a day to do that, yet." She said."I'm informed that she would be shipping in some of those equipments from Germany, so I should meet her in regards it." "Exactly my point!" Kendrick exclaimed. "How about you go meet her today?" He asked. Surprised, Evelyn's brows furrowed at the edge. "Isn't that too soon?... You said you've been trying to reach her, does it mean she doesn't have your contact anymore?" "I don't know, but each time I called, someone would answer, and I believe it should be her personal assistant." Ken

The night was cold but the morning was colder. The tree branchesdanced the fast rhythmic tunes of the wind. They waved energetically from left to right. The alarm for six a.m. was prompt and Evelyn rolled in her duvet to the left side and blindly tried to put it off. Finally, it came off but suddenly she remembered that it was an auspicious day.She jumped up with a smile and fell back to bed abruptly. The thought of having the letter signed and the goods transported made her heart merry. She pictured her self standing by the hospital gate as a boss lady that she was, giving directions and instructions of where the medical equipments should be kept. She smiled at herself on the TV screen as the thought lingered and lingered.Evelyn took up her pillow and pressed it against her face softly. She was so happy knowing that day had finally come, the day she had waited long enough for. Her hospital was finally taking shape and the medical facilities she always wanted in her possession were

“So because it's Kendrick's sister that means I must attend to her before others. Who does Kendrick think he is? Because he helped me before?” Mrs Astrid soliloquized to her self in anger as she saw what Kendrick was doing. She was actually doing nothing, she called in her secretary.“Hello, bring in a cup of tea and some biscuits.”“Yes ma'am.” The secretary replied and dropped her telecom.She took out the tv remote which was beside her bag under some newspapers and changed the channel. She crossed her leg on the sofa and got carried away by a TV series she always loved but didn't watch because of lack of time.“Yeah, this will keep me busy, when she's tired, she'll leave the same way she came.” A knock on the door and she shouted, “come in!”The secretary waled in with a tray of Beloxxi biscuits and a cup of tea with a container of brown sugar. She dropped on the table in front of her and asked, “anything else?”“None for now, I'll call you if I need anything else.”“Okay ma'am

She opened the office and found Mrs. Astrid enjoying her favorite series on her white sofa. She also met wraps of biscuit and a stained tea cup on the table. It seemed like she took them exactly two hours ago. Evelyn controlled her tempwr and smiled despite everything pointing towards the fact that she was not busy.“Mrs. Astrid, I'm Evelyn. Kendrick my brother discussed with you about the supply of some medical equipments and facilities. I came with the documents, all I need you to do is sign them,” she said dropping her bag on the table next to the teacup and bringing out the document.She stretched them to Mrs. Astrid who laughed sarcastically.“You found your way through now you want to order me?” Mrs. Astrid said.“No, not at all.” My brother ran you through the details. He only said you'll sign and I'll be on my way.“Well your brother lied. I will sign no such deal and I want you out of my office, this instance.”Evelyn stood in shock as she saw how defiant and adamant she was

It has been Three days since the captain boarded for Germany but he hadn't received any calls from him or anyone in his crew concerning the shipment. He was worried but she was more worried. He didn't like when she had that look on her face but at this point, he had no help.“C'mon man, chill. It's possible anything could have happened and he's not been able to call you.” Charles said, calming his tensed demeanor.“You know Evelyn right? She's not gonna understand this! You know women in general, they lack understanding of this kind of things.”“I know but if you're hyperventilating and pacing around the room like a lunatic, you don't give her much of a choice to be composed herself.”“Great point there but irrelevant at the moment.”“I'm glad you realize that it's a great point but you don't see it as relevant. Calm down, the sea is not like land, things don't move the same way.”“Have you ever travelled by sea?” Kendrick asked.“No, I haven't, why would I? We have aeroplanes.” Char

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. “
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

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
