134"Babe, your stomach is getting big" Colin smiled while taking a look at Marissa's tummyOf course it was getting big, the pregnancy has been months now"I know right? I can't wait for pumpkin to come out" Marissa smiled back, slicing an apple for it to be easier for Colin to eatDue to the punch, his jaw hurts so it's hard for him to take a bite from the apple himself."You should really take a rest, I am okay""Says someone who can't drink a cup of water by himself""That is because my hands are in bandage""Because you broke them while fighting" Marissa nagged "Next time, don't even think of doing something like that, if you do I will kill you myself""You are being cold to someone who is hurt" Colin pouted "What should we name our pumpkin?""Why don't you think about recovering first" Marissa clicked her tongue "I am really fine" he emphasized "Should we name our pumpkin, Annabelle? Ella? Because she will be a pretty princess""How are you so sure it will be a girl?" Marissa s
A Slumdog Heir Chapter 135
135"Where in the world are we going?" Shawn asked as he was not aware of where Eric has been driving him to for the past 30 minutes."Somewhere important" Eric replied, paying good attention to all the houses around"Can you at least tell me the important place? I don't think it's okay for me to just appear somewhere without being prepared" Shawn got even more curious "Don't tell me you are taking me to Axel, are you working for him too?" He gasped"That's offensive" Eric clicked his tongue "Fine. I am trying to look for someone who knows Axel well""Someone who knows Axel? I don't think someone like that exist, he is so sly and pretentious so much that he deserves an Oscar. Why are we wasting our time searching for someone when we should....." Before Shawn would complete his sentence, Eric stopped the car in front of a bungalow"We are here" he mouthed as he made signal for Shawn to alight."What is this place?" Shawn couldn't stop staring as he came out of the carThere was nothing

136 At the station, both Axel and Martin were locked up in a cell while Shawn, Eric and Jenny sat with the detective, giving evidences of all what they've done."I think there is one more person that needs to be arrested" Eric said"Who?" Shawn asked"Jackson Dream. I think he works with them too" Eric replied "About that..." The detective meddled "Our boys are on our way to get him""Really?" Shawn blinked in surprise "does he really work for them?""Yeah. You remember the doctor who died in our cell, right?""Yeah" Shawn nodded "Turns out he was actually the one who came in and strangled her""Ugh? How is that possible, what in the world were your boys doing?" Eric scoffed in disbelief"He paid the lieutenant in charge a handsome amount and also paid the security in charge of the CCTV so the footage was deleted" the detective explained, looking kind of disappointed that his fellow officers joined hands with a criminal to kill a human who they should protecting"That's just so bad
A Slumdog Heir Chapter 1
Chapter 1 Colin's phone pinged. He had a message, who would send a message this late? "Could you come over to the room? It's pretty urgent" the message read. It was from Catherine, she was his wife, Marissa’s sister. He hurriedly rushed to the other part of the house where her house was located without as much second thought. "Catherine? Cate? Are you in there? Please open the door" Colin called out when he heard no answer. Colin was troubled, he wondered what could have gone wrong that was so urgent. And to think he had left their room in a hurry without telling Mary first. He had a lot of explaining to do knowing how his wife was. He had moved into her family's home after they had gotten wedded as the family would have it no other way. It was either he agreed to move in with them or risk losing Marissa. He had chosen the former as he is so in love with Marissa. Not that they had treated him any better than a servant. He endured it all for Mary. She was the only reason h
A Slumdog Heir Chapter 2
Chapter 2"What do you want from me?" Colon yelled, to no one in particular. This was all a plan, a very good one at that to get him to divorce Marissa. If he agreed to the divorce, he would give them what they have always longed for: him being out of their lives. If he didn't, he would be risking his image and the reputation of his wife, something Marissa would not want. He was left in a dilemma, perhaps dilemma was an understatement for what this was. It wasn't always like this. No, it wasn't this way 3 years ago. Three years ago, Colin was someone they had wanted. He had gotten married to Marissa then, all thanks to the old lord of the house. He was a great man of honor and respect and treated him as such. Perhaps, they only endured so much because he was here at the time. Just a few months after he had died, Colin noticed a change. They no longer served him food, he was made to perform domestic chores. Hell, they became so bent on getting him to divorce Marissa. Only
A Slumdog Heir Chapter 3
Chapter 3 Colin was left speechless, if anyone had told him Marissa would betray him like this, he wouldn't have believed it. For three years, she had stuck with her, come rain or sunshine. Despite his love not being reciprocated, he never looked at another woman. Yet, this is what he got in return. She said she wasn't ready to have or be intimate with him, so he waited. Patiently, he waited for when she would be ready and come to him. Today, he sees her in the arms of another man, a stranger. He fights the thought in his head. The one of her being in bed with another but him.The thought of her moaning to someone else's touch but not him. How could he live like this? Like a fool, one with no direction or purpose. For three years, he was their puppet and did all the dirty work they dared not do. He did every last thing they had asked him to do yet, it wasn't enough. They wouldn't even let him go find a job and work like everyone else. They had insisted he stayed home and

Chapter 4 "Are you denying these allegations?" The judge had asked "Yes, I am" Colin answered, almost in a whisper "Then we have no option than giving you a weightier punishment" the judge had declared."A weightier punishment? Why?" Colin had asked, already knowing the answer. He should have known better, that he was fighting a lost cause and his would be no different. "You know why. You have refused to admit your crimes to reduce your sentence" one of the members of the families gathered had said "There was no crime in the first place, this is all a setup" Colin had objected "Do you have any proof?" Catherine had asked and Colin went silent. There was no way he could prove what he had just said. The text message she had sent to him, the cousins had made sure to delete. There were photos of him holding her inappropriately. They had too many thongs to prove that he did what he did. Any judge in a court of law would readily accept the evidence before him. It would be fooli
A Slumdog Heir Chapter 5
Chapter 5 So much for trust and love, Colin thought and gave a wry smile. Just then, when he was about to go see what to do with his life, his phone rang."Why would anyone be calling at this time?" Colin wondered and decides to not pick up the call. The phone rang another 2 to 3 times and Colin finally decides to answer, perhaps it could be important. He feared it could be one of the Williams calling to further humiliate him. Or give him a piece of their tongue, something he was tired of listening to. He had heard enough to last him for a lifetime. "Hello" the caller had said at the other end "Yes, hello" Colin had answered, he had immediately recognized the caller and it was not who he had feared. The voice was one of an elderly man, probably in his late fifties or middle sixties. "I just saw the news" he started "Of course you did, so much I had to take" Colin answered, his voice sad. Besides, he already knew what the caller would say next, talk about Marissa. "I warne
