bastard daughter

Tyson was in a daze as he watched the woman he had been thinking about for years comfort the little girl.

Then a thought flashed in his mind.

Could it be that she is his and Samantha's daughter? Was the little girl telling the truth all along?

Just thinking about it brought immense happiness to his heart.

" Tell me Tara, who made you cry?" The soft voice of a woman could be heard questioning the little doll who was still sniffling back her tears.

" I found daddy but daddy doesn't want Tara." She replied in her childish voice, pointing at Tyson accusingly.

The lady who was squatting earlier turned to look at the direction her daughter pointed.

When their eyes met, hers widened in surprise before they turned to anger.

She glared at Tyson then picked her daughter before walking away.

The spectators watching the whole ordeal couldn't help but whisper among themselves.

" What's the deal with those three? One person asked.

" How would I know but wait...do you think the man is the father of the little girl?"

" If he's the father, how come he doesn't seem to recognize her?" 

" Maybe he has been away for years and is only coming back now." 

" What a lucky bastard. He runs away and comes back when the child is all grown up."

" Have you seen how the lady is angry at him?" 

" Who wouldn't be? if I was her, I would have given him a slap."

The comments were not pleasing to the ear.

When Jordan heard the people reprimanding Tyson, anger rose in him?

How dare they criticise him?

Were they worthy of mentioning his name, leave alone talking behind his back?

He was about to confront them but was stopped by Tyson. He said nothing, just shook his head.

People could say whatever they wanted. He didn't care.

He knew now that his wife was mad at him.

It was understandable. He left for five without any message.

He didn't expect her to welcome him with open arms when he came back.

One thing he knew, he would do anything to earn her forgiveness.

He would also do anything to take care of her and their daughter.

As they left and headed to the jaguar arranged for them, Jordan couldn't control his curiosity.

" What just happened? Is that your wife and daughter? But I never heard you mention that you had a daughter?" 

Jordan was confused and could only seek answers from Tyson.

" I just found out today itself." 

He was as surprised as him. He never knew that he had a daughter. Not that there was a way for him to know when he didn't keep in touch with Samantha for five years.

But he could count the number of times he was Intimate with Samantha with his one hand.

Infact, it only happened once.Tge two of them were under the influence of drugs.

After that night, Tyson was forced to marry Samantha.

The Lewis family argued that it was the only way to cover the shame and embarrassment Samantha caused her family.

Back then, he was nothing but a penniless man who was struggling to make ends meet.

He had just graduated from college with no decent work.

He was hired by the Lewis family as the personal driver of Samantha Lewis who was by that time working as the general manager of El passion Corp which was a jewel company.

The two stayed married for two months. He later left after losing everything he had. By everything I mean after his mother passed away.

Tyson's mother had been sick and bedridden. Since he couldn't afford to pay for the surgery she needed, she was left to die.

Before he left, he promised her that he would come back for her.

Five years later, he finally felt ready to face his past and returned, only to be greeted with the news that he was already a father.

If that child was the product of the affair they had that night, he will gladly take responsibility as a father and a dutiful husband to his wife.

" I must say that you are in deep shit then. She seemed pretty angry with you." Jordan commented.

" I Know."

He understood why she was angry.

Afterall, five years of disappearance wasn't something small, especially when she was left to take care of their daughter alone.

Thinking about the hardships she might have gone through, his chest tightened.

After that scandal years ago, everyone in the Lewis family started looking down at her.

By marrying a penniless man like him, her worth and dignity was trampled upon.

She might have never complained before him, but he sure knew she felt bad.

The whole ordeal was a set-up to strip her of the position of general manager.

Although he was never raised in a rich man's house, he understood perfectly well how things operated in those families.

Family members plot against each other for Power and prestige.

It was unfortunate for her to find herself in such a situation.

Whether it happened by chance or by choice, Tyson swore to only have one woman in his life and that woman was Samantha.

As he thought about the past, they arrived at Samantha's home.

After that scandal, her family was casted out of the main Lewis residence.

They were given a house away from the others.

After asking Jordan to drop him at the entrance, Tyson made his way to his in-laws house.

It was here he spent two months of his life before he left for the army.

The house was old and shabby but was still in good conditions.

Although it had several cracks and worn out paint, it wasn't that bad.

Tyson entered the house and could clearly tell that his in-laws had visitors.

He was about to announce his presence when he heard something that Made his blood boil.

" You should Marry John as soon as possible, Samantha. At Least he is willing to marry you and accept your bastard daughter." Samantha's mother, Susan advised.

" What did you just say?" A thunderous voice bloomed from the entrance of the house, causing everyone present at the dining table to snap their eyes and look at the source.
