From Scorn to Sparkling; The son-in-law's Redemption. CHAPTER 35: A DAY AFTER
The next morning's winds were swift as the day they'd expected came with a slap on their faces, the wind pulled and pushed the whistling pine trees so they bent and twisted as if bowing to a dusty demigod, their leaves and branches making the same sound as a football's referee's whistle.The cars were parked lazily in the driveway, Spears Mansion seemed lifeless, and the workers and maids were not busy compared to the other days.Romsey stood by the hibiscuses, giving directions, one had sunk in the pocket of his white trousers while the other pointed from item to item. "You'll be taking these items with you while you go see Mom at the hospital, she was rushed down there early today," he said to Ellen who was staring at him as though not understanding the language.Robson and Prince, the new decorator emerged from the hallway a sullen look shown on their faces. Mr. Spears had not returned, he and the daughters were at the hospital with Mrs. Seraphina. Romsey turned with a stare t

Tell me more about it, son. He insisted, but Romsey seemed to avoid that part of the conversation. He lingered for minutes without finding the right words to use. His father's eyes switched. "Son, I want you to understand that whatever happened between your mom and I wasn't intentional, it was none of my intentions". Those words touched Romsey icily, he sprang up instantly.Yes, son" his father continued. " Back then I was young and rising, my father Baron, who is also your grandfather was a very strict man. He made all the rules you're seeing today." Romsey blinked his eyes in awe. " Also, I considered you a great mistake back then, so I had to abandon your mother in Canada and run back here, I never knew a day like this would come" Mr. Spears sobbed as he turned to Romsey, " I would want you to find a place in your heart and forgive me, son". Romsey's face clouded with hatred, veins thickening on his forehead as he stared at his father. " Yes son, I am very sorry. I tri

Romsey and his Dad rushed out, and two guards hurried behind, bewildered by the haste of the moment. "Drive, drive, fast please," Romsey ordered as they zoomed out of the sprawled mansion and onto the busy road, the sound of the siren blaring to show the emergency at the moment.Some minutes they arrived at the Evergreen Haven Hospital where Mrs. Seraphina was admitted. Eleanor first rushed out with her eyes reddened from several hours of crying. She sobbed on her father's shoulders. "She needs a blood transfusion, Dad," her voice breaking as she spoke.Mr. Spears and his son moved into the hospital, the guards following behind, their eyes strayed round the corners of the hospital, and several patients sat in the waiting room.They march directly behind Eleanor who was leading them to the room where Mrs Seraphina was admitted. Romsey bumped into a man wearing a long white coverall. His name tag clung to his chest, Dr. Hayes, his hair neatly combed back, he was the chief medical office

Back at home, everyone's face seemed to be brighter, illuminating with smiles, a moment of temporal reconciliation played in the room. Romsey returned to his room with ease, he climbed to his bed and tapped on his iPad, a message popped up, and he opened it, glancing at it, the name seemed to be a familiar one, it was Brian Alexandria, Fiona's relative, he had gotten Romsey's contact from Fiona's phone and decided to message him. Romsey read the messages in surprise, he had forgotten about Brian in haste as his mind was crowded with family issues. His lips tightened at a point where Brian mentioned that Lucas had bought his father's house and now they're patching up in a renter apartment, and that Fiona was promoted to a higher rank in the company where Lucas worked, Romsey knew the whole company belonged to his father and couldn't wait for a showdown once he returned to Canada. He smiled at the shock that would dawn on the Ralph's face after they realized that he was now the on

Romsey dashed back into the room, his forehead creased with worry, a stark contrast to his earlier jovial demeanor. As he entered the hallway leading to Mr. Spears' bedroom, he doubled over, panting with urgency. Knocking on the door, he pushed it open, finding his father engrossed in a newspaper."Dad, how could you?" Romsey's voice held a polite but firm edge. "How could you summon her to my room without a second thought?"Mr. Spears let the newspaper slip from his fingers onto the table, his expression shifting to one of concern. "Sit, son," he gestured, trying to soothe Romsey's agitation.With a heavy sigh, Romsey sank into a plush brown leather sofa, his gaze locked on his father, who struggled to find the right words to ease the tension of the moment."My son, I thought I was giving you the best gift possible. Her father, Senator Stout Mill, is a man of impeccable reputation," Mr. Spears explained, his attempt at reassurance falling flat.Romsey's features tightened, his eyes n

The next day came with its surprise. The morning sun filtered through the royal curtains, casting warmth over the Spear's mansions. Aurelia's opulent bedroom was not spared as light rays peeped through windows. She stretched from her giant bed, almost the size of a swimming pool, then turned and yawned, her hands pressing on the calling bell, summoning her maids who rushed into her room, filling the room with activity."Hello Ma," a beautiful lady smiled at her. "Would you mind if we take off your clothes and give you a warm bath?"She took some minutes and then, replied, "Cold bath, please." The maid nodded as they gathered around her, changing her from her nighties.Downstairs, the dining table was set and adorned with an extravagant spread fit for the upper class. Delicate dishes were tasted by the family's nutritionist to ensure they had all the desired nutrients as they filled the golden table.The aroma of a variety of delectable dishes filled the air, from fluffy pancakes toppe

The lady at the door greeted Aurelia with a profound smile, a contrast to what Aurelia had expected of her that morning. "What's it?" Aurelia's voice dripped with disdain, "What is the meaning of this interruption?""I-I beg your pardon, my lady," the lady stammered, offering the parcel with trembling hands, "A man at the gate insisted I deliver this to you." Her tone was calm but her voice was shaky. Aurelia's eyes narrowed as she inspected the package before her. With a dismissive wave of her hand, she spat, "Take it away. I want nothing from the likes of you. Your filthy hands have tainted it."But then, the lady maintained her posture. " I apologize for that, Ma" Her heart sank as she retreated from the room, her cheeks burning with humiliation. As she reached her modest quarters tucked away in a corner of the vast compound, she sank onto her bed, tears stinging her eyes.Ellen's quarters were a three-bedroom apartment, nicely arranged on the third floor of the worker's quarters

"They might be arriving anytime soon!" he yells again as his secretary apologizes, not knowing his fault in the matter at hand."Fix up the files, ensure all documents are neatly covered, leave no loophole," Lucas's words settle on deaf ears as his secretary abandons the file on the desk.It was evening, and the sun's rays had shifted north, setting clouds over the sky. The night drew near like the day was speeding to its close.Ellen had finished her work for the day and set out for her mission. Her heart raced as she drove through the bustling streets of Chicago in search of the Gardener Inn. Her eyes turned right and left, glancing through the corners of the street.She couldn't imagine the weight of rejection and humiliation she'd received from Aurelia.The package sat in the passenger seat as she turned to it at intervals.In some minutes, she arrived at the inn. Her eyes scanned the grand facade and finishes that spoke of luxury and opulence. She slipped her fingers into the pack
