"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?"

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

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

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
