There was something about him that made him feel relaxd and at ease but he was feeling very uncomfortable because of the way Rose was staring at hi

He was a good judge of character. If you were not someone he could relate with, it did not take him a minute to know the kind of person he was dealing with. As he thought about Ben, his mind went to the pendant that hung around his neck. He went to his drawer in his study and brought out the one he had that looked like the one that he saw with Ben."I will inspect it later when I see him. As he held the necklace his mind went to the day he gave it to Sophia.............................................................................................................................Flashback begins"I love the way you look at me."

The man walked into a cafe. Jackson and Shelly followed him into the cafe. The man was sitting at a far away booth. The cafe was a large one. From the man's house to the place was about some twenty minutes walk. Why the man decided to walk and not take a bus was strange to Shelly who was tired of walking all the way down to their destination."Why did he not take a bus?" Shelly asked Jackson as they took a seat not too close nor too far from where the man sat to avoid suspicion. "I guess he likes to walk. He looks like someone who is exercising." Jackson said. Shelly was not satisfied with the answer that hw gave but she let that one go. "He is here to meet someone." Jackson said. "How do you know?" Shelly asked. "Look at the number of times he has looked at his wrist watch in the last two minutes." J

Jackson checked the surroundings of the house. It was a house that was on a private property. There were no guards and it appeared as if no one was in the building.

"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.

"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.

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.

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. 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.

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
