Of course Casey would have been the one to take him around town to see the things that it has to offer. Back home Ben was not privileged to do all that because of what he was facing with his family, especially with his sick mom and his physically challenged sister, Betsy. As the driver drove he was taken by the sight of the city. The very tall buildings and shinning lights. He was moved and impressed by it all. He was elated that he would stay in this city and whatever it had to offer he would take them will open arms and lap it all up.New York was not just any city, it was the city to live in, in the United States of America. Other cities had their own attractions of course but New York was the creme de la creme of cities in the United States of America, the land where dreams were possible. As t

Shelly did not know what to say or how to respond to what he said."I only thought that with no other threats around me you might want to go back to the life you had before you met me." Shelly said. "As long as I am concerned, you still need protection and I am the only one that can lay my life to protect you." He said. "Wow! My night in shiny armour." Shelly said playfully.

It was late in the night and Ben could not see where he was going to. It was pitch black. "Where the hell I am." he asked himself. Obviously no answer came to him. He groped around in the dark trying to find his way around. His hands finally touched the wall. He started to search if there was a switch on the wall. He found none. All of a sudden a door opened and there was a flicker of light coming from a bed lamp. With the help of the wall he found his way to the bed lamp. When he got there he sat on the bed. He still did not know where he was because the flicker of light was not enough to make him have enough visibility. He thought of what to do and he decided to carry the bed lamp along with him.As he walked through where he was. He realized that he was in the woods. "Where the hell is this. How come there is a bed in the woods?" He asked himself. As usual no answer came to him. As he walked through the woods, all he saw were short trees on either side of him. As he went on, he saw

"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.

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

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.

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
