Outside the Fullams villa. A small car stopped at the entrance. Next, the doorbell rang. Lois opened the door. Seeing who was at the door, she grew scared and greeted them calmly. “Good day. To what do we owe this surprise visit from the Grichys?” “Just decided to stop by! Fiona spoke. Then she smiled. “Won't you let us in?” Lois finally got her mind stable. “Pardon my manners! You are welcome and do have a seat.” “It's nice to see all of you again after a long time,” Fiona said. The Fullams gave a fake smile. They were not sure if the Grichys visit to their family had no strings attached. “We are here to apologize to Rieka for everything my family did to her. We deeply reject our actions.” Fiona said. “Huh?” “... Rieka?” Senior Grichy asked to confirm if he heard them right. “Yes, please permit us to see her.” Within a split second, Tom had called Rieka and they were all seated in the living room. “Why are you here?” Rieka asked anxiously. “My dear,
At the Fullams villa. “Why are you rejecting your food, Rieka? Noah is not worth all this!” “If you meant a lot to him, he wouldn't have left Cox you asked him to, without persuading you to let him stay.” The family spoke as they were having their breakfast. “Numerous wealthy and influential men are seeking your hand in marriage. Why settle for a pauper?” “It's enough! I need to prepare for work.” Rieka said then left to freshen up. While she dressed, Rieka knew for real she missed Noah's company. Yes, she asked him to leave but it's her presence for that moment and not her life completely. Noah always defended her but she ended up getting the backlash. She picked up her bag, looked at herself in the mirror, and sighed. “Could it be that he doesn't care about me? He was just pretending all along?” She thought as she headed to the office. She headed straight to her office. She didn't pay attention to all the greetings thrown at her instead all she did was smile. “Good m
“What's happening? I rushed over because you sounded tense on the phone. Elias also came along with Ussy Cox he thought something bad must had happened. “Elias, the car you bought for Rieka just arrived. You are awesome.” Kendra said after which she hugged Ussy. “You've just paved way for the opportunity to be a son-in-law of my family, Elias.” Elias was lost and didn't understand. 'A new car? He had been thinking about changing his car for the past six months, but he had not gotten enough money and he didn't want to take money from his family purse. How could Elias have gotten Rieka such an expensive car?’ Elias stared at Ussy and then smiled sheepishly. “It's just a small token to profess my love for Rieka.” “Small, you say?” This car is worth millions of dollars. I can't wait for you to be part of my family. Rieka would be so excited.” Senior Fullams said with excitement. “Relax! Today, we'll wine and dine together in the spirit of harmony and celebration.” Befor
While Elias enjoyed himself at the Fullams mansion, the police visited the house.“Hi, Mr Ariel.”“You are under arrest for stealing a car and claiming its ownership.”Earlier, Noah explained how the car gift turned out and requested that Andy deal with Elias immediately.You stole a car?Impossible!“The real owner laid a complaint and we tracked it to this point. Inquiries revealed that you claimed to have bought the car.” One of the officers spoke.Looking at Ussy and Kendra, he knew he had no choice but to confess now before he got into a bigger mess.“Sir, Elias is from a wealthy and well-behaved family. He can't steal!” Kendra defended him.She added, “I suggest you look into this investigation for more clarity.”Elias was sweating profusely.Andy knew Noah meant it when he said he'll regret ever taking the credit for what he knew nothing about.”“Everyone present in this mansion should be summoned here now.” The police officer yelled.Rieka and her parents couldn't go against t
Everyone stood still. An elderly man approached, holding his briefcase. The scent coming from his clothes was very pleasant to the nose. Mr. Aura recognized him immediately and greeted him with a bow. “G-Good morning sir! The guards also bowed. The man was inspector Franklin. The inspector queried further. “A beggar?” “And also a psychiatric patient?” “How did you all come to that conclusion?” Daniel spoke with annoyance. “Take a look at his dress! He looks wretched and unkempt.” Then someone whispered. “Mr. Noah Kendrick would be discouraged if he finally arrives for the meeting and sees this pandemonium.” At this time, Noah was shocked and wondered if he looked so terrible like a beggar or psychiatric patient. Or maybe he didn't look like the usual first-class citizens that frequent that area. The inspector glanced at Noah who was standing in the middle. His instinct told him he knew Noah but he could not tell where they'd met. “What is your name?” “What are your
“Mr Kendrick, I deserve whatever punishment you give me. Please, I am sorry.” Daniel was disappointed in himself. He had just ridiculed a wealthy citizen who was far richer than him. How could he have imagined such a person was the face behind the ongoing hospital project? “Please sir, I'll be glad if you show him mercy. I don't mean to be disrespectful but please…” Lenora spoke slowly.At this time, Andy and everyone were quiet to hear Noah's final decision.Noah's eyes darted between Lenora and Daniel. Coldly he spoke, “I'll spare you today but you might not be lucky next time.” Everyone sighed in relief. Thirty minutes later, the meeting ended. Noah and Andy walked beside each other. They noticed four young girls running towards them. “Why could they be running after us?” Andy thought. The girls finally caught up with them, Noah and Andy had to hear them out. “We'd like to visit your house, we want to spend time with you, we want to make you happy.” Andy noticed Noah d
It's a bright new morning! Everyone went about their daily activities for the day happily except for the families of Ariel and Swelvys.At the Grichy's mansion.Fiona lay on the couch, looking lost and unconscious of her environment.“Mom! Have you heard of the latest news?”Fiona didn't reply.“Mom!” Liam yelled so loud.It snapped her out of reverie.“What's the problem? Must you always constitute noise?”“I am sorry, but you need to hear me out.”“What is it?” Fiona reluctantly asked.“The news on everyone's lips is the death of Lord Ariel and King Swelvy. One common thing is that a red handkerchief was kept on their lifeless body. Everyone in Linton City is scared! If this could happen to such wealthy people with no one raising alarm then we all have to be careful!”“Really?” Fiona widened her eyes in shock.A lot of atrocities have happened in Linton City and it seems the expected parastatals are not doing their jobs!‘There is more to this than just a coincidence!’ Liam wondered
It was a big day of celebration in Linton City. It's the annual festival celebration. Now, except for Jack, Rieka, and Noah the other Fullams had already made their way to the Grand Square event center. “Oh, mine! You look stunning, my angel.” Noah admired Rieka, holding her hands till she entered the car. He turned to Jack who stood with his arms folded and asked. “Are you sure you'll be fine staying at home alone?” We can wait for a few minutes so you can get dressed and come along with us.” “Staying home all by myself is not a new thing. I'll be fine. Take care of yourselves.” He waved at Noah. Next, Noah took the driver's seat. “Let's go have some fun.” Noah smiled at Rieka. Outside the Grand Square event center, lots of luxury cars were properly parked. Everyone took pictures and admired the environment. They were all requested to wait in the garden since the event hadn't begun. Seeing the crowd, Rieka suggested that they wait in the car till the event starte
