Back in the Peterson’s mansion, the hellcat truck pulled in and Xavier dropped from the car with the other guards, he hurried to the main door, his heavy shoes leaving giant strides on the floor. When he got to the door, he reached for the knob, but the door flung open and at once Kendrick hurried out, his face crowded with expectations.“I was told you followed her… what is it you found? Where did she go?” He asked.Xavier shook his head firmly, “No sir, we weren’t following her, Miss, Evelyn had asked us to go to Prime Time Bank and get a stoppage note from the manager.”Kendrick’s eyes widened, he hurried past Xavier to the security unit, his face scrunched, then he paused, “Call me Brandon, tell him I said he should meet me right now!” He thundered, his voice laced with authority.“Yes sir!” Xavier responded, it was his first time of hearing Kendrick talk that way. He hurried into the security unit and soon, he emerged with Brandon following behind.When they came out, Kendrick wa

Twenty minutes later, Kendrick turned into the Oasis Gallery, he dropped from his car and hurried into the office. On entering, he meets Bodmas attending to a tall dark woman, “hello ma, you'll please have to excuse me for some minutes, I need to talk to him.”The woman turned, “gentleman, are you saying that what you intend to ask him is more important than what I have at hand?” she asked with a smirk on her lips.“oh, that’s quite fine, I wasn't saying that, Ma… I have an emergency, and if you wouldn't mind, then I can pay for the time I’ll use.”The lady chuckled, “I haven't heard a young man sound so calm as you do.” she said, when she stared at Kendrick in the face, her brows furrowed, “you don’t seem to be fine, is there a problem?”“Oh, not at all… thanks for the compliments.” Kendrick replied as he turned to meet Bodmas. They moved out of the store into the corridor where they could speak, “Mr, Ken...what’s the matter again.. have you come to complement me for the masterpiece

It was getting to past noon, and the day was as restless as the weather. Kendrick hurried into the car when Xavier emerged from the office, he didn’t enter the hellcat truck, he instead rushed to knock gently on the Mercedes tinted window. When the window rolled down, he lowered his head, his voice firm but gentle, “Boss… the woman in there has asked me to give this to you, instead… she didn’t get the money I took to her.”Kendrick's expression was grim as he snatched the card from Xavier and gestured for him to leave. Xavier hurried back to the truck and they zoomed off. Right in the car, Kendrick dialed Prince’s contact. It was a long time since the last time they spoke. The number went through and a deep masculine voice came alive, it was Prince, “Hello, master Ken, you so surprise me right now!” Kendrick feigned a smile, his mind reeling with unanswered questions. He knew Prince would have a lot to say, and he wasn't in for a long conversation, so he went straight to the poin

The late afternoon sun had set, casting a long shadow across the Diamond’s Tower where Kendrick was having a brief meeting with Louis, his business partner and possible Managing director. He sat his eyes locked onto a heap of books and documents on the computer screen, comparing the one to the other.“Yeah, you'll have to ensure that all the pending contracts are completed before this month comes to an end.” He said, turning to Sophia who was sitting directly opposite him.“That's fine, Boss… but I thought you talked about having a meeting and transferring some of the top ranking workers?” Sophia asked.Nodding firmly, Kendrick replied, “Oh… yeah, that’s true, but I am not sure if I would be at work anytime soon, I have a serious issue to handle at the moment and there's no way I would be able to handle that for now.” he said, his voice etched with panic.Sophia stared at him directly on the face, her mind reeling with unanswered questions, “I understand that you're always busy with w

Kendrick, now in between two police officers sat with a calmness that made his mind ponder on what would be the last stick, which he could use in breaking the camel’s back. His mind still reeling as they sped into the station.After a long rickety drive that made him hit his head against the hard irons of the police van, they turned into the station like a convoy of armies arriving the enemies camp. Kendrick dropped just after the officer that sat behind him as though he was guarding Kendrick from breaking and jumping out of the window.“bring him out, my friend walk out on your own and do not allow me drag you… I am saying this for the second time!” the officer yelled.Kendrick got down from the car with a composure that was out of normal, what beautified the evening was the glittering view of his expensive cars rolling behind the police vehicles that brought him.When he moved slowly, he heard a deep voice yell behind him. “come on man, we’ve treated you pretty nice, but we can get

It wasn’t the air alone that seized, there was a deep silence in the darkened room after Alexander had turned and thrusted deeply in her from behind, just like he did on the first get together at the Rogers mansion, the difference here was that now it went in with a force, his hands clung to her hair as he pushed her over the open window.“Don’t do this to… Alexander… please.”Louis kept pleading, her voice laced with pains. Provoked, Alexander thrusted deeper, his fists clenched hardly on her hair, “shut your mouth, if it were him, you wouldn’t say that… this is my child and I have right over your body!” He snarled. Louis was weak, she could no longer struggle, she had bruised her face severally against the hard wall, blood running through her forehead. Alex kept on and on, until he was done, he breathed deeply like a satisfied animal and pushed her to the floor, she fell and at once hit her stomach on the floor, her voice tearing in agony, “I curse the day I met you Alex… I..” sh

The rain hammered down relentlessly, drumming against the taxi’s windshield as it drove through the streets.Inside the cab, Alexander sat rigidly in the backseat, his mind racing with frantic thoughts. The driver, oblivious to the turmoil in his mind, made casual conversation, his eyes occasionally darting to the rearview mirror."Did you just hear that news?" the driver asked, breaking the silence. "The states has turned into something else, imagine yesterday they talked about the kidnapping, today they've tagged it to a philanthropist"Alexander stiffened, his heart skipping a beat at the mention of kidnapping. He forced himself to maintain a calm demeanour, leaning slightly forward. "I haven’t been following the news lately, but that's just how the country is."The driver glanced at him through the mirror, seemingly eager to chat. "It’s huge! The police are all over the city with checkpoints and roadblocks. They’re on high alert, and everyone’s talking about it, I'm aware."Alexan

The next moment revealed the news of Kendrick being involved in a kidnap scandal, Charles Methot was first to pick interest in it, he took it like a daunting task to get to him at all cost. He got up from his bed, pushing the curvy naked Linda Red away.“I need to get across to him, this men will always go to their worse to bring down this man!” He said, hurrying to the wardrobe to get some clothes for his bare skin.Amazed by the urgency in his movement and the tone he used, Linda sat on the bed staring at him, “do you mean that you’re gonna leave me right in this hotel just to go see a man you’re not connected with?”Methot turned, a smile playing on his lips, “if you know who that man is, then you wouldn’t be sitting on that bed saying all you’re saying right now.” He replied as he hurriedly picked his key and moved out of the hotel room.“Meth… Methot.” Linda yelled as she grabbed the duvet, covering it above her breasts, her lips curved in anger. “fuck off… how long would he keep

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

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

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
