While Kendrick was up in his room, he paced back and forth, his hands plastered on his waist as he pondered, could Prince have gone to the extent of beating up my sister? That’s so bad of him, I would have to ensure that he pays for this.” he muttered to himself. He slowly picked up his phone and dialled Methot’s number, only to see several message notifications popping up on the screen. He held his breath and swiped through each of them. “Kendrick, I know that my dad had done the worst in looking down on you, but please this is the time, the moment that we need you the most.” his lips dropped in surprise, it was a message from Knaver. He swiped through it and went into reading the others. After he was done with the rest, he sat slowly on the edge of his bed, “So, all Methot ever cares about is that I settled with a girl who was already dating my late brother? Just so I could win her father’s heart and promised wealth?” he shouldn’t be serious to think of me in that manner.” He sw

Kendrick’s eyes widened in horror as the car screeched to a stop, he had hit down a lady and her body lay crumpled on the road, her phone and headphone which was placed tightly on her ears shattered on the road. “Oh my goodness, brother, what do we do right now? She must have been listening to music and failed to check the road before crossing.” Emily exclaimed as she rushed out to check if the woman was still alive. “Call 911, hurry in and bring my phone… we weren’t checking the road, and she was jogging without checking the roads, too.’ Kendrick’s heart racing, he hurried to kneel behind the lady. “Hey!.. Hey, can you hear me? Are you alright?” he asked as he struggled to lift her from the floor. In a moment, Emily hurried out of the car again, her eyes darting in fear as she spoke over the phone, “Yes, we need help… there’s an accident along Vincent’s estate, and its quite as serious.” she stammered, her voice trembling. The lady laid lifeless, Kendrick’s mind reeled, it was

Immediately they arrived at the hospital, Xavier hurried to his usual duty and Kendrick emerged from the car, he leaned against the sleek door of his luxury ride, glancing at the commotion that erupted there. The speed of the nurses who hurriedly rolled in the carriage, the continuous yelling of the round faced man. Just as he decided to join them, Xavier hurried to his side, his voice laced with concern. “Boss, are you okay? I believe that the young lady would be fine.” he said, trying to sound positive amidst the tension that filled the air. “That’s okay, Xavier… hope is not a grain of sand, but I hope she gets well.” staring at the man who kept pacing back and forth. Kendrick whispered, “Do you know who that man is?” Xavier stared at him for some minutes, then he whispered back. “That’s Mr. Carson, he works onshore in Germany, he also has a long standing automobile manufacturing company.” Kendrick nodded, “No wonder he talks so hard, he seems not to be a calm person, but then I

Marissa Carson stormed into the hospital, her eyes wild with worry and anger. She spotted Evelyn and her brother, Kendrick, standing nearby, their expressions a blend of relief and apprehension. “Where is she?” Marissa demanded, her voice sharp. “Where’s my daughter?” Carson, her husband, took a breath, ready to explain. “She’s in an unstable condition, the nurses has not informed me about anything since they asked us to wait here...” “Unstable? She’s in a hospital bed because of that reckless driver!” Marissa shot back, her finger pointing accusingly at Kendrick. Kendrick felt the heat of her gaze and swallowed hard. “Mrs. Carson, I’m so sorry about what happened. It was an accident, and I have informed your husband that everything would be taken handled.” he replied calmly. “An accident? Is that what you call it?” she interrupted, her voice rising. “My daughter is lying in there because of you, and you are here saying that all would be handled!” she snapped harder. “Ma, please

Kendrick’s heart raced as he stood in the sterile room, the smell of antiseptic clinging to the air like a thick fog. He could feel the weight of Bridget’s gaze upon him, filled with confusion and pain. He wished he could erase the accident that had landed her here, wishing for a time machine to go back just a few hours, before everything turned out of control. But reality wasn’t that forgiving.Bridget’s voice, tinged with fear, cut through his thoughts. “I need time to heal, Mum and Dad, not to make decisions about marriage… are you both giving me out to a strange man right now?”Kendrick shifted uncomfortably. The idea of marriage felt grotesque in this context, as if it was being proposed as a solution to a problem he never wanted to be a part of. He had to find a way to navigate this minefield, but the tension was suffocating.Marissa’s voice rose again, a sharp edge to it. “You don’t understand, Bridget. This isn’t just about you; it’s about accountability. This man,” she gestur

Back at home, Kendrick’s head throbbed as he sat slumped on the edge of his bed. His room felt cold, the walls closing in on him like the harsh reality of the situation. He stared blankly at the ceiling, his mind spinning in circles, replaying the conversations he had endured earlier in the hospital. “Marry her? But why?” he mumbled to himself, his voice low and disbelieving. “It was just an accident…” He stood up and walked over to the window, peering out into the evening light that was beginning to fade into dusk. The world outside seemed so distant, so disconnected from the chaos inside his mind. He ran a hand through his hair, gripping it in frustration. The weight of everything, Bridget’s accident, her family’s demands, and his own tangled emotions on settling with another woman were crushing him. He had always thought of himself as someone who could handle anything, but this situation felt like it was tearing him apart. Emily, his younger sister, sat in the corner of his

The next days after the incident was a rumble for the royalties, the grandest thing was to happen in the whole of America, and that was to involve the gathering of wealthy and most influential men around the world, to Kendrick, it was just a moment to create more acquaintances. He sat over his office desk when his phone blared. He reluctantly picked and inspected the screen, “Methot, I wonder what he is calling for at this time of the day.” Kendrick mumbled as he had just entered the office and it was barely time to attend to calls, he swiped his hands on the phone’s screen and Methot’s voice came alive. “Hey bro, I am almost tired of telling you that the event is just by the corner, when do you intend to stop by and sign the documents like we had agreed you should do?” Kendrick leaned to his chair, he was equally fed up of beating around the bush, he needed to openly tell him what he had in mind. Confidently he cleared his throat. “I wouldn’t think of that as a good idea anymore

Some hours after they had left the office, something happened. This time, it wasn’t a visitor from his immediate circle. The knock on his office door was gentle, yet there was a palpable sense of urgency behind it. He glanced up from his paperwork, his hand pausing mid-stroke as he looked toward the door. “Come in,” he said, his voice steady. The door creaked open, and to his surprise, it was Rachel, his new office assistant, who stood there. She looked flustered, her eyes wide as she fumbled with a slip of paper in her hands. “Kendrick, I’m sorry to interrupt, but there’s someone here to see you. It’s… it’s very unusual,” she said, glancing over her shoulder as if she expected someone to come barging in behind her. Kendrick’s curiosity piqued. He wasn’t expecting anyone else today. “Who is it?” he asked, setting down his pen. Rachel hesitated for a moment, then spoke in a hushed tone. “It’s...a private investigator. He says it’s urgent.” The words sent a chill down Kendric

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.

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

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.

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."
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
