Gerard was on his laptop reading an email he got from the same person who sent him an email about Casey not being his biological daughter.He was not longer shocked about it because he now knew that this was no longer rumour nor a lie.His wife, Rose did not totally deny it nor did she admit to it. But the fact remains that this person knows or has facts about who Casey's real father is."If you want to know more, please come to this address. I can not show myself right now because Rose is after my life." The email read.Gerard was a bit taken aback by the email especially the part that had to do with Rose trying to kill the sender of the email. Gerard do not know anyone who was a friend to his wife. Of course he was always hardly ever around so it would be hard to know the people that his wife kept company with.After writing down the address he decided on going to see this mysterious woman the next day but he wanted to bring up the subject to Rose again to see if she was finally g
Unknown to Rose someone was watching her. She was in James ward. Looking at him. She even touched his hands.The truth was, James made Rose feel like a woman. He made Rose feel wanted and desired.Gerard had never loved her. She realized that now. She wished that was not the case. It was the neglect that made her fall into the arms of James, his friend. Rose would not want Gerard to find out because if he found out, he would have the power to divorce her and she would stand to lose a lot.Looking back at it all, their marriage was an arranged one even though she willingly agreed to it because she instantly fell in love with Gerard at first sight.She knew James would do his best not to divorce her so that it doesn't go public.Especially the fact that Gerard was not the biological father of Casey. It would hurt Gerard but it would destroy her.Gerard knew what he did when he threw it at her as regards her seeking for a divorce. She knew that Gerard would have the edge if she went thr
Gerard was home in his study drinking. He was filled with so much mixed emotion. He was confused and he felt betrayed by the man he thought was his best friend.He looked at the situation and thought that he did not deserve such a betrayal but that was what he got. The fact that Casey was not his daughter made him feel incomplete.He knew it was his fault but he did not expect Rose to sleep with his friend. He could handle it if it was some other man but his own friend was way too much for him to handle.Gerard gulped down a glass of whiskey.He was searching for something in his drawer. When he found it, he caressed it in his hand. It was a pendantThe pendant reminded him of something and someone. It reminded him of the woman that he truly loved.Yes! She was from a lowly background but he fell in love with her. He wished she had not ran away.He wished she had stayed. He would have fought for their love regardless of who was against them. Now he was alone and empty inside. "Damn y
"Drip I have a job for you." Mellisa told him when he called him over the phone. Drip answered the call excitedly. "I can hear that you sound excited." Mellisa said."Yea! You sure know I am. What am I suppose to do?" He asked. "It's about that dude, Ben." She said. "Oh! I thought after the way the court issue ended, I thought, that was the end of it." He said. "I actually wanted to stop it all because of Oscar." She said."You can't actually be thinking that way." He said. "I know. But I actually promised him that I would change, most especially towards Ben." The sound of his name brought a nasty taste to mouth. "Well, I am ready. Just tell me what to do." He said."When you get to my house, you will be told what to do." She said and hung up.Mellisa was getting prepared for the party that she had planned. Her dad was on a trip and he won't be back until the next day. "Mel! I thought you had allowed that boy to be?" Mrs. Archer asked her after she heard the phone conversation she ju
Casey was with Ben dancing. They were both having fun until Mellisa dragged Casey away. Mellisa was in tears."What is wrong with you?" Casey asked her best friend. "I just got a news that my dad was involved in an accident." Mellisa said."What! You can not be serious?" Casey said. Mellisa looked at her friend with a teary eyes and anger showed in it."I am sorry for asking you that question." Casey apologised. Mellisa continued to cry and Casey was doing her best to comfort her."Do we end the party and send everyone away?" Casey asked her. "No! I do not want to start giving people explanation on the reason why I am.suddenly ending the party.Let it continue." She said. "Okay then! I am sure you want to stay in your room?" Casey said. "Just for the moment." Mellisa said."Just stay with me for a while." Mellisa said pleadingly. "Of course I will." Casey said and she hugged Mellisa. Downstairs at the party, a girl was trying to get the attention of Ben. Ben was polite but he wanted
"I have told you that, that boy is of no good." Mellisa was telling Casey. Casey was crestfallen. She was sad and did not know how to read the situation.She wondered why Ben would do something like that. She wantedto believe that Ben would not do anything like that but looking at what happened she had no choice but to believe that Ben tried to rape the girl. Casey realized that it was the girl that Ben was talking to that he tried to rape.Ben was still passed out because Blaze claimed she hit him with a vase that she found in the room. "I can not believe that Ben would do what he tried to do.Why does he always finds himself in such situations? Or was it the alcohol? Did he have too much to drink?" Casey asked so many questions that required answers.She wanted to believe that there was a mistake somewhere and what the girl said was not true. But from the looks of it, it appeared to be true."He is from the slums in the U.K. Do you think anything good can come from someone like tha
It was a week to the resumption of a new season in for Mellisa in the University. She was almost disinterested with school as she believed her interest lied in the fashion world.Her dad did not know but she was attending a fashion school in New York. She attended the University of New York so it made it easy for her to attend The New York School of Design. She did this in secret and her dad had no idea. But she told Mrs. Archer. She was the one who encouraged her although she had told her to speak to her dad about it.Mrs. Archer was more than the house help. She was in charge of the house, so she was aware of what happened in the house more than Mellisa. Mellisa was most of the time in New York.It was because her dad compelled her to come back home for the holiday that is why she was home. She initially wanted to spend the holiday with Casey.It was 8:00 am in the morning and Mellisa was still in Bed. Her dad would be returning that day from his trip. There was a knock on the do
"She will be here anytime soon." Oscar told Casey. "Are you sure you want to do this here?" Ben asked Casey."Yes? This has to be done right now because there has to be a stop to this." She said. Ben had known Casey for a short while now and through out that time he had never seen her get so angry and worked up before.There was a knock on the door. "I guess that must be her." Oacar said. He went to open the door. "I hope you have a good reason for asking me to come here." Mellisa said to Oscar as she entered the house.She was surprised to see Casey there. "What the hell is happening here?" She asked the question in a derogatory manner as those her presence there was more important than everybody present."Casey! I thought you said you were on your way to the airport?" She asked Casey. "Yea! That was the plan but I could not leave without sorting something out." She was casual when talking to Mellisa as if she was a stranger to her.Mellisa noticed it. "Why are you talking to me like
