Ben Chamberlain's Inheritance Chapter Twenty-six
Shelly got out of the tunnel some few minutes later and she was surprised where she found herself. "The tunnel was really a long one." She thought to herself. She wondered who might have built such a tunnel.But that wasn't her priority right now. The tunnel took her to another part of the town entirely. As she moved out of the woods unto the road, she saw a diner some meters away from her and the first thing she heard was the rumbling of her stomach.That was a signal to get something to eat. She scanned the vicinity to ascertain that no one was following her then she scurried across the road into the diner. She looked for a table that was far away from the window to sit down. As she sat down, the people who were there, having their meals stared at her briefly.She noticed it but ignored them. A slim blonde lady came to take her order. "Welcome to Downabby Diner." The lady said with an infectious smile. "Thanks." Shelly said and also returned the smile. "What would you like to ha

"I don't know how to answer that question." Ben replied. Mellisa stood akimbo and archedher eye brow.She gave her friend a knowing glance and they both smiled. "Ben! that question should notbe difficult for you to answer. It's either a yes or a no." She said.Ben suddenly closed his eyes. His mind went back to when he was cornered by Scrawny and his gang.This was a similar situation because Mellisa had put him in a situation he had no idea how he was going to come out of it."Ben! answer the question." She said with an air of anger and frustration. In the short time he had known Mellisa, he noticed that she had a short fuse and her reaction during that period was always destructive and she cared less who got hurt.Ben wondered how a nice guy like Oscar is a friend to such a girl. Ben managed to gain a bit of composure.One thing he learnt when he was cornered by Scrawny and his gang was that he was never going to allow anyone dictate what he said or did.He decided, after that day

The words stunned Ben. He did not know how to explain what was happening. The confusion on his face was so palpable that he thought what had happened to him back home was reoccurring here in the states."Ho-w, ho-w, how is that possible that I raped Mellisa? Especially when she was the one that invited me to the room because she said she wanted to talk to me.Besides I was at work." He managed to ask the policeman who read out his rights to him again. Ben looked at Oscar for support but he was as confused as Ben. "There should be a mistake here. I think you have the house." Oscar said."Do you know Miss Mellisa Gibson." The policeman asked, Oscar. "Yes! She is my friend." Oscar replied."So that means that I do not have the wrong house." The policeman said and asked Ben to move out of the house into the police car."Just go with them. I will be right behind you." Oscar said to Ben as he moved in a zombie like manner towards the police car."How is this happening to me? What did I d

"Who the hell are you and what are you doing here?" Shelly asked the tall dark complexioned man who was heavily built.He looked like a body-guard. He had sideburns on his face. There was a scar on the left side of his cheek and on his right shoulder.The scar looked like a scar he got from a brawl. As he held Catherine at gun point, he asked Shelly to sit down.He had an African accent when he spoke. "What do you want?" Shelly asked?" "It is not about me.I am carrying out an order." He said it with no sort of emotion on his face. Shelly did not know how to handle the situation.Catherine looked at Shelly with an expression that said, "I did not know this was serious. You were right." Shelly nodded her head to her, knowingly."Please, I will appreciate it if you can let us leave." Catherine said and Shelly nodded in response to what she said."I have money. I will pay you. Please, just let us leave." Catherine added. The tall dark man just looked at both of them and smiled.The sur

Drip said to him and kicked him in his mid section while Ben was lying face down on the ground.He heard them giggle as they drove off. He was there for about five minutes before he began to get up himself.He sat down like a monk and looked up at the sun that was smiling down on him. "What a morning." He managed to say with the mouth that was swollen and bloody."Please excuse me." He said to lady that was about to walk past him. The lady stooped and gave him a total look over but she did not walk off fortunately."What is it by the time?" He asked the lady. The lady obliged him by telling him the time. "It's mid-day." She said and walked off but she kept glancing back at him until she was nowhere in sight."What a way to begin the day. It's way past morning time." Ben said and struggled to get up on his feet.He did not know where to go. He contemplated

Ben was able to see the on-coming vehicle and escape it by running across the road very fast. The car sped away and did stop.Ben got up and he was breathing very fast. He just went through a death and life situation where he could have died from a careless and reckless driver.The reports came across to him and swamped him like bees on honey.Mics were pointed at him. Cameras focused on him to explain how he escaped the near death experience."Please let him be. He has nothing to say at this time." Mr. Murdoch came out of the court and whisked him away from the army of reporters."Where have you been? I have been waiting for you for about half an hour."

Murdoch asked him feeling concerned for him.Today was the day that the battle to get out of this quagmire started and he needed Ben to be up to it. He

"Do you know my client?" Murdoch asked him. "I don't know him but I have seen him before." Drip said. "Apologies Mr. Drip. Let me rephrase that question again. Have you seen my client before now?" "Yes! At the hotel where he works." Drip said."Be specific with the hotel please." Murdoch said. "Mandarin Oriental Hotel." Drip said."So what were you doing there at the hotel?" Murdoch asked. "I went there to see Mellisa." Drip said. "So did you happen to see her on that day of the incident?" Murdoch asked."When I called her phone, she sounded like she was in trouble. So I asked her to direct me to where she was." Drip said. "So what happened next when you found her." Murdoch asked."She was disheveled because of what had happened to her." Drip said. Murdoch now brought out the video where Melissa was shown to have been raped by Ben."Your honor, allow me to play the video that shows that my client was raping Meliisa, according to the prosecuting council.

"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.

"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.

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.

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

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
