Two months had passed and Kendrick sat in his office, staring out the window at the city below. His thoughts were heavy, a weight pressing on his chest. It had been a long week of meetings, phone calls, and strategic planning. The life he had always known was starting to feel… too small. There had to be more to it. There had to be more he could do with the success he had built.“Hey, Kendrick, you alright?” Xavier’s voice broke through his reverie. Xavier was his trusted Personal Assistant, his right-hand man. Tall, sharp-witted, and always on top of things, Xavier had a way of cutting through the noise, always providing clear direction when Kendrick needed it most.Kendrick turned to look at him, offering a faint smile. “Just thinking,” he said, his voice laced with uncertainty.Xavier sat down across from him, the concerned look not going unnoticed. “What’s going on? You’ve been quiet all morning. Talk to me.”Kendrick took a deep breath, his fingers tapping lightly on the desk. “I’

Two weeks had passed since the opening of Kendrick’s Free Academy, and the ripple effects of his actions were already being felt across the country. His bold vision for accessible, world-class education had struck a chord with the public. Parents whose children had been locked out of the education system, young dreamers from humble backgrounds, all rallied behind Kendrick. The media buzzed with the story, spreading the message far and wide, and public support was growing. But not everyone was happy.One chilly morning, Kendrick received a letter from the Bureau of Academic Bodies in Cleveland, Texas. It was an invitation, a summons, really for an urgent meeting regarding his academy. He knew exactly what it meant. They were coming for him. He wasn’t naïve enough to think that such an ambitious move would go unchallenged by those who held power in the education system. They had already shown their disdain for his project, and now, they were preparing to strike.The meeting was schedule

The storm that Kendrick had been bracing for had finally hit. The Bureau of Academic Bodies, with all its influence, had made it clear that they were not going to allow him to disrupt the status quo. Their words, sharp and venomous, echoed in his mind as he walked through the empty streets after the encounter with the two men in suits.But Kendrick wasn’t shaken. In fact, the threats only strengthened his resolve. He had expected this. He had known that his fight for educational equality would attract the wrath of powerful forces, but he had underestimated how far those forces would go. It wasn’t just the Bureau now. The very people who controlled the system, politicians, financiers, influential academic elites were all rallying to preserve their hold on education.He stood there in the cold, the city lights casting long shadows across the pavement. His fingers gripped the strap of his bag, his knuckles white, but his heart burned with an unyielding fire. Kendrick knew that the war wa

The days blurred into nights as Kendrick watched the world around him shift. Every morning, he woke up to an inbox full of messages: texts, emails, social media posts, all echoing the same sentiment. Support. People were rallying behind him, and the movement he had started was gaining momentum. But even as the public’s response seemed to swell, Kendrick knew that the true battle had only just begun.The Bureau’s backlash was swift and ruthless. They targeted his supporters, smeared his name in every corner of the media they controlled, and tried to demonize him as a threat to national security. They painted him as an anarchist, a radical who didn’t understand the delicate balance of education. It wasn’t just rhetoric; the Bureau was pulling strings behind the scenes, pressuring politicians and even schools to distance themselves from Kendrick’s movement.But Kendrick was resolute. He had no intention of backing down. In fact, the more the Bureau attacked, the more powerful his messa

As the movement continued to gain steam, Kendrick and Bridget found themselves at the center of a transformation they had only dreamed of. The rallies across the country had become more than just calls for educational reform. They had become symbols of hope for those who had been silenced for too long. Everywhere they went, they saw faces filled with determination, people who knew the fight was not just about education, it was about reclaiming their dignity, their future.But despite the swelling support, Kendrick couldn’t help but feel the weight of the challenge ahead. The Bureau was not just going to roll over. They had fought too long to maintain their control. Their next moves would be calculated, and Kendrick knew they would not stop until they had crushed the momentum he had built.It was a Thursday evening when the storm truly arrived. Kendrick sat in his office, the room dimly lit by a single desk lamp. Bridget had gone to bed earlier, exhausted after a long day of organizin

The sun was setting, casting a warm, golden glow across the city, but it was the light in the eyes of the people that truly illuminated the moment.“It feels unreal,” Bridget whispered, leaning her head against Kendrick’s shoulder.Kendrick glanced down at her, his expression softening. His heart swelled with a pride that transcended words. It had been a long and difficul

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.

Texas, a city that came alive even during the evening. Its nights gleamed over the Peterson estate as the roar of luxury engines filled the morning air. 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

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
