Brown's sister was celebrating her twentieth birthday. Brown's sister, Carol was very energetic person, funny and very full of life.Their parents were out of town for a retreat but Brown's aunt was around to chaperone the party to make sure everyone behaved very well. Brown's parents were doctors. Brown's mom was a pediatrician who had her own practice. She had her own hospital and his father was a physiotherapist. He also had his own private hospital also. Brown did not take in the foot steps of his parents, he decided to do something different from what they were into.When it was time to cut the cake, everyone gathered round and it really felt good. Ben was having the feeling that he was finally having a proper life of his own. He was not been led by anyone before he could take any decision or do anything. He was developing his self independency and it was something that he needed to work on because he was going to later need it as he lived in America. The only thing that remaine
Ben got home quite late and he was still tipsy from the alcohol that he took. As he opened the door to the house he was met by Rose who was still up watching a program on the big flat screen.Due to Ben's tipsy state he was almost passing by Rose without acknowledging that she was there. "Get back here!" Rose called him back. Ben stopped and slowly turned his attention towards her. "Do you know what the time is?" Rose asked him.Ben looked at the wall clock but the vision of the wall clock was blurry to him. He strained his eyes to see what the time was. "I really do not know what the time is and besides why should I be telling you what the time is when you can see it for yourself." Ben said. Rose opened her mouth at the audacity he had to say that to her. "Did you actually say that to me?" Rose asked him."Of course there is no other person here; is there?" Ben asked her. "I really can not take this from this vagabond. I have to call Gerard and inform him of this, right away." Rose
Since the beginning of the day Ben was yet to see Mr. Green. He liked how kind the man had been towards him and Ben was doing his best to make sure he did not get on the bad books of Mr. Green and so far he was succeeding until One hour later, Mr. Green called him into his office. As he went, Brown looked at him knowingly. Ben understood. "I learnt that you were late today to work." Green said. "I am sorry sir, I know it is a lame excuse but I woke up late." Ben said. "I see. Whose fault is that?" Green asked him. Ben did not respond. "Ben I like you and I would not want to give a negative report to Mr. Chamberlain about you because I also see that he is fond of you. Please let it not repeat itself again, Is that understood?" Mr. Green said."It will not repeat itself again sir. I promise." Ben said. "It's okay, also Mr. Victor wants to see you after the close of work." Green said. "Okay sir! Ben replied hoping to make his boss proud of him. When he got back he gave brown a thumbs
Ben was still shocked from what happened at the lobby. While he waited outside of the building his mind could not forget the incident that happened at the lobby that afternoon. As Ben thought about it, he could remember the look of happiness on Mr. Victor's face when Ben brought out the wallet from his pocket."Mr. Ben! Do you remember what I told you in my office earlier today? I told you that my eyes are on you and that if you make any mistake, no matter how little it may be, intentional or unintentional, I will be there to make sure you pay for it." Ben was recalling what Mr. Victor said to him at the lobby.Mr. Victor told him to go home and that the matter will be settled by the disciplinary panel the next day. As Ben sat on the pavement, he began to wonder how the wallet got into his pocket. He was not a thief. He had never stolen in his life. The only time Ben tried to steal, it was unsuccessful and that was because poverty drove him to do it because of his sick sister.He coul
Murdoch was filled with pity for Miranda when he looked at her. "You are not cut out for this." He told her. "I know you think that you know me but you do not know me one bit. The version of me is the version I wanted you to see but let be clear to you, that, that is not the version of me." She said. "It's clear already that you are a good actress, I must give you that. You really warmed your way into my life with the aim of doing this." Murdoch said."I am not a monster but your family made me one." She said. "You can not pass the mistake of someone to someone else. I was not born then when it all happened. What would you say if someone did the same thing to you?" Murdoch said. "Mira! Ignore him. Let us get this over with as soon as possible." Sasha said. Miranda had a fearful look. She was not ready to be a killer. She was angry quite alright but not to the point of commiting murder.She was really thinking about the choice she had to make and one of those choices did not involve ki
Murdoch's neighbor came over the next day to check on Oscar and Murdoch. "Hi!" She said when Murdoch opened the door. "Hi! Please come in." Murdoch invited her in. This was the first time that Murdoch was inviting her into his apartment. "Hi!" Murdoch replied her. "How are you both doing?" She asked both of them."We are doing good, thanks to you." Oscar said. "I did not do much, you know." She said. "You actually did but what made you to know that something was happening here?" Murdoch asked her. "When I came to knock at the door I noticed that you were not your usual self. It was as if someone was controlling you to behave mechanically." She said."I did not notice that you noticed my nervousness." He said. "I did and I decided to come back and that is why I took the risk I took. I did not trust that man the first time I saw him come to your apartment with your girlfriend." She said. "I really appreciate your bravery because of it we are out of danger." Murdoch said."So where are
Victor was so elated with his achievement. He was beside himself with excitement. He was glad because he saw how helpless Gerard was. He could not do anything about the situation. He was also glad that he was the one that delivered the verdict. Victor was not happy at first when Gerard brought Ben here to work.He felt that Gerard did not consult him as regards Ben working here because he was suppose to be the one in charge as he was the H.R, recruitment processes should go through him.He believed that even though he was the owner of the company, Gerard should still give him the respct that he deserved and not circumvent his authority in the company. Victor felt that if Gerard had sought his advice and input as regards Ben's employment in the company he would not have treated the boy the way he was treated by him. To him, it was Gerard that put Ben in the situation he got himself in and now Gerard could not help himto bring him out of the situation. All Victor needed to do was to
Gerard entered his study and he was disappointed that Ben had left. He understood why he must have left. Ben knew that Gerard expected a lot from him which meant that he needed to be very serious and dedicatedin his behaviors and duties. Gerard understood that Ben left because he believed that he had disappointed Gerard and most of all himself.Gerard felt disappointed at the situation that he had been put in by the action that Ben was involved in. If there was no concrete evidence he would have been able to investigate the situation and find out who was wrong and who was right. Right now he had a very good feeling that Ben did not do what was claimed that he did. Gerard noticed how Victor was grinning. The man tried to hide it but he couldn't and Gerard noticed it whichgave him the belief, that Mr. Victor had a hand in what happened and he was lying about it. Gerard had to investigate the issue but right now how was he suppose to do that when the person that was involved and could
Ben was true to his words. Mr. Victor was disgraced out of the company after Ben played the recording of his confession to the disciplinary committee. Ben did not need someone like that in his company. His good friend, Brown replaced Mr. Victor as the H.R. of the company.Shelly with the help of Jackson found out how Gerard died and they both came to tell Ben. Apparently, it was one of Jackson's former associate who did the job. Jackson got all the evidence he could get against Rose, along with how she also was involved in the demise of James. Rose was put on trial and she was convicted for murder. Her daughter did not care what happened to her, discovering that she had a hand in death of her real father and the father that took care of her.Shelly later introduced Casey to Mrs. Welsh and her uncle Chase. She began to live with them.Ben travelled to the U.K to meet his aunt and Cousin, Henry. His first port of call was Scrawny who was now the leader of gang. He went to Scrawny and to
"You don't talk to your mother like that. Do you know what i have Bern going through?" Rose said. "What are you saying mom? Don't you know that you have made me lived a lie." She said. "Your life has not been a lie. Gerard was your father whether because he cared for you as his own." Rose said. "Mom! Why are you defending yourself this way?" Casey said."It is not about me defending myself, I am just saying that things happened and we have to live with it." Rose said. "If I may ask. Who is my father?" "Your father is dead." Shelly said. Rose was stunned. "Who asked her to come here?" She thought to herself. "What are you doing here?" Rose asked Shelly. "I asked her to come." Casey said."How could you do this to me?" Rose said. "You did this to yourself mom." Casey said. "Rose you have to tell her the whole truth. Answer the question; who is her father?" Shelly said. Rose was cornered. She did not know how she was going to get out of this. She wished that she listened to James when he
After the burial, things went back to normal for some of the staffs of the household of Mr. Chamberlain but not for Ben or Casey. Ben's aunt showed up a day after the burial. She was distraught when she came in. She kept apologising for not coming into the country on time. She went to the grave that same day that she arrived to pay her last respect to his brother. Ben was in his room when there was a knock on the door. When Ben opened it, it was his aunt, Becky Chamberlain. She was not yet married. "Hi Ben! She greeted him when he opened the door. "Good morning." Ben returned her greeting. "Can I come in?" Becky asked. "Of course! Please do come in." Ben said. "I am sorry that we have not been able to talk since I came back from Africa." She said. "We have not. With everything that has happened in the last few days, what else do you expect." Ben said. "So you are the Ben my brother told me about. You are my niece?" She said. "So it seems aunt. If I am allowed to call you that." Ben
Ben froze when the call ended. It was like his whole world had crashed. He had lost poeple in his life before now and all the death pained him but this pained him more because he has lost a kind man. Gerard was kind to him right from day one. He did not ask him any question about who he was. He accepted him the way he was and now that he found out that this was his father, here he was getting a call from his dad's personalassistant that his father was dead.Ben was heart broken. He was speechless on his way home. Brian noticed it and when he asked Ben what was wrong Ben told him he was alright. He couldn't think any more. When he got home he saw Mrs. Mendoza crying along with some other staffs that worked in the house. Immediately Mrs. Mendoza saw him she went straight to him and hugged him. "I am sorry for your loss. Please accept my condolences." When she said it was when Ben knew the reality of what had happened to him."Why! Ben yelled and ran into his room. He was still staying
Ben was yet to call his aunt and Henry to tell them of the good news. Ben decided to give them a call. "Hello!"Mary answered the call on the third ring. "Hello aunt Mary." Ben said. Mary as already knew who was calling. It was his nephew, Ben. "Oh! Ben. I have not heard from you in a while." She said. "I know aunt. I have been busy with a lot. Some weeks ago I was almost killed by an onrushing vehicle." He said."Oh my God! How are you now?" She asked. "I am doing fine. I had a broken leg and a cut on my head. The leg is almost healed although I still need a walking stick to walk." Ben said. "Was it that serious?" She asked him. "Yes! It was." He said. "I am happy that you were not killed." She said. "I am glad to be alive." He said. "How are things over there?" She asked."Things are looking up aunt." Ben said and the aunt heard the excitement in his voice. "You sound excited Ben. What happened to you?" She asked. "Aunt, I am happy to say that I have found my dad." Ben said. "You a
Gerard was silent. He had no idea that, that was what she was referring to. He wondered how she knew about it because he had not mentioned it to anyone in the house. He was actually going to do that, first thing in the morning when everyone who worked in his mansion were present. Gerard began to thonk about how she might have known about it.Rose by now was exhausted and disappointed because this was not the way she planned on handling the discussion with Gerard. "Who told you that Ben is my son?" He asked her. Rose was quiet because she did not know what to tell him. Gerard knew that Rose was a woman who was very desperate. He understood that she was someone who would do anything to get what she wanted even if it meant taking out the person.This was why Gerard had told Ben not to tell anyone about it until he told him to. Gerard was being careful of his wife. "Rose! Who told you that Ben is my son." He asked her again. Rose had no other option but to tell him the truth. "Some days a
"I tell you this with the utmost sincerity. He actually declared him to everyone at the company today, that Ben was his son." Victor said to Rose. Rose was speechless. "Are you still there?" Victor asked her. "I am here." Rose said. Rose wassurprisingly calm. "I am sure you knew about Ben being his son." Victor said. "I just knew two days ago even though I had to find out myself." Rose said."How do you mean, you had to find out yourself?" Victor asked her. "He did not tell me about it. I had to get a hand on the result of the DNA test that he did to know about it." Rose said rather irritatingly. "Okay! I think I understand what you meant earlier on." Victor said. There was a brief silence. "Listen Mr. Victor, do not call again. I thought I made that clear the last time we spoke." Rose said."I know that you did but I just felt that you needed to know about what happened this morning." Victor said."Like I have said don't ever call me again." Rose said and cut the call. "This woman i
"Are you ready to leave for the parmaceutical company." Gerard asked his son. The company Ben worked for about three days. The same company where Mr. Victor framed him up. Ben was still walking with a slight limp. Gerard had totally left Rose. Gerard was no longer sleeping on the same Bed with Rose regularly. He alternated the times he was sleeping with her on the bed. Rose already knew why but she still kept it to herself.Gerard and Ben went to the car together and they drove to the company. Gerard wanted to show him around the company. Gerard wanted to let his son know the few companies that he owned.After they left, Rose put a call through to someone."Please I want you to trail them." She said on the phone...............................................................................................................................When the car stopped in front of the building, Ben was filled with pride that he was going to own this someday. He stepped out with the help of his
Gerard and Ben spent all day in Ben's room and then later in the evening, they both had dinner alone without Rose. Ben was so elated that he was grinning all through that evening. Mrs. Mendoza noticed it and she was wondering what was making him feel so joyful. "Ben could not even eat. The happiness was enough satisfaction. Gerard was also not hungry. He was happy that he now had an heir. Someone that would take over from him when he was ready to hand it all to Ben. At some point he thought that he was sterile. He thought he was the one that had a problem getting a woman pregnant. Now it was certain that he was not a sterile man. If not for the fact that he lost one of his children, he would also have had a daughter."Dad! I am trying hard not to call you dad because you said we should keep it a secret." Ben said. "I know how hard it is going to be for you but we have to hide it until I complete what I want to do. Once that is done I will introduce you as my son to the world." Gerard
