CHAPTER 161Desmond's heart raced as he watched Spider's movements closely, the tension in the air palpable. Helena stood beside him, her expression unreadable, as they faced off against the unpredictable threat before them. Spider was ready to make do with every threat. He looked at them and they reeked of fear.Spider's laughter echoed through the warehouse, sending chills down everyone's spines. "You thought you could outsmart me? You're nothing but puppets in my game, dancing to my tune and you will follow my every command."Desmond gritted his teeth, his fists clenched tightly. "We had a deal, Spider. Don't push your luck too far. Why not take the money? We are ready to offer you a substantial amount for that matter. Just take the offer."Spider's grin widened, revealing his glistening golden teeth. "Oh, I'm just getting started, Desmond. You have no idea what I'm capable of. I need some cash but I also want a seat at the Gracehill table." Helena stepped forward, her voice dripp
CHAPTER 162Desmond was caught off guard. He looked at her, " Oh! I had a runny nose. I guess I have been overworking myself lately. I will be going to the hospital to have the doctor have a look at me." He said gently hugging his wife who had a bit of a worried look on her. " Where is Bella?" He asked, walking up the stairway. " I think she is out to do some shopping,." Allen replied." Okay." Allen was bothered and knew Desmond was lying to her but she needed to be sure she knew what was going on. She sat down and turned on the television. The news of Spider's death was said over the news and George being found dead too. Desmond walked back to the living room and saw Allen's gaze fixed on the television. " You seem to be taking in what you are looking at. Do you know these people?" he asked taking a seat beside his wife." No, I just felt there is more to this than meets the eyes," Allen replied. " These are just random people killed. I am sure there is nothing to be worried ab
CHAPTER 163Jayden's heart skipped a beat as he saw Helena's name flash on his phone screen. He exchanged a glance with Medeia, his mind racing with apprehension. With a deep breath, he answered the call, trying to maintain his composure."Hello, Helena. What can I do for you?" Jayden greeted her, his voice steady despite the fear within him."Jayden, darling, it's been a while since we last spoke. I hope you've been keeping well," Helena's smooth voice flowed through the phone, her tone oozing with charm.Jayden's grip on the phone tightened slightly as he responded, "Yes, I've been managing. What's on your mind, Helena? I know you are always up to something and what with the sweet names?"There was a pause on the other end of the line, and Jayden could almost feel Helena's calculating gaze through the phone. "I couldn't help but notice some interesting developments recently. Have you been in contact with anyone...unexpected?" Helena's words were laced with subtle threats, hinting at
CHAPTER 164She angrily cut off the line and looked at Jayden. " Breath baby. You need to calm yourself down. They are just playing mind games with us." [ Ah! ]Medeia shouted and took her hand between her two legs. " I think I am going into labor. My water just broke." Jayden's eyes widened in shock as Medeia's words sunk in. "Oh my God, Medeia! Are you serious?" He scrambled to his feet, his heart racing with a mix of excitement and panic.Medeia nodded, her face contorted with pain as another contraction gripped her. "Yes, Jayden. I think the baby is coming. We need to get to the hospital, now!"With adrenaline coursing through his veins, Jayden sprang into action, rushing to gather their belongings and help Medeia out of the house. Despite the chaos swirling around them, he remained focused on getting her to the hospital safely.As they raced through the streets, Jayden's mind raced with a whirlwind of emotions. He couldn't believe that the moment they had been waiting for was f
CHAPTER 165 Helena was seated in her room when Robert walked in on her. " I heard Jayden's wife just put to bed. I think we need to go and greet them" " And why would I do that?" She replied painting her fingernails." I don't understand what you mean. Isn't he a family not to talk of he is your blood. Why would you decide to miss out on this important occasion?" Robert asked, looking at her." I don't want to have anything to do with Jayden," Helena replied staring at Robert who was perplexed at what was going on." Really? Does that include leaving him with his rightful place at the Gracehill corporation? I won't be denied that I don't know what you have been up to lately but I have decided to sit back and watch." " What have I been up to? Are you saying that to my face right now? It is not like you care if anything happens to me. I am the rightful owner now and this belongs to me. I am just getting back what is mine from the on-set." " I have told you many times but it seems yo
CHAPTER 166Jayden looked back and he was startled. " What are you doing here? Medeia is inside having a nap." He said gently walking closer to Desmond, Medeia's father. " I know, I just wanted to say hello to you as I heard you were in the garden." He lied looking at Jayden.Jayden took out his phone and made a false call telling the person he would be coming to the company tomorrow. " Who was that? Is that Yohan? Is he also coming to wish the baby well?" Desmond asked again trying to know if Jayden was actually talking to Yohan." Yohan? The last time I saw him was when he came to the company with Helena. I think both of them are together on all of this. I can't believe he would jilt me for my aunt." Jayden sighed " Cheer up Mr Jayden. You have got me. I can even go to any length to help you find him." " I don't remember telling you he was lost. Or is he lost again?" Jayden asked looking Desmond in the face." No! I am sure he is with Mrs Helena. Talking about her, have you seen
CHAPTER 167While the atmosphere grew tense, Jayden stayed calm, his thoughts racing with the complicated lies he had created. He understood that Helena was not gullible, but he acknowledged the influence of manipulation and deceit. Jayden is delicately balanced between truth and fiction as he spoke, dancing on the line with each word to mislead his aunt and safeguard his family.Helena's intense stare drilled into Jayden, seeking out any weaknesses in his exterior. After years of bitter rivalry and family disagreements, she had always been cautious of his intentions. However, hidden behind his composed demeanor, Jayden possessed a strong resolve to outsmart Helena and recover what was rightfully his.Helena expressed skepticism towards Jayden's sudden change of heart, apologizing for her doubtful attitude. "Do you genuinely intend to give up all riches and authority to me, or is this simply another one of your tricks?"Jayden held Helena's gaze firmly, maintaining a steady expression
CHAPTER 168 They all disperse going back to their various homes. Jayden walked into Medeia's room and smiled seeing she was a little tired and weak. " Someone is in a good mood." She said with a smile on her face. " I am honey. I managed to trick my Aunt." Jayden replied sitting on the bed beside her." What did you do?" She asked sitting upright to hear what he had to say. " Let's just say I handed over to her what she had always craved. The throne." Jayden said with a smile " Don't say! Did you give her the right to everything? Did you think about any of this?" Medeia looked at him not understanding his point of view " You need to listen to me. Yohan needs to be safe and once she is assured that I am not a threat anymore. She won't have to see Yohan as a threat anymore." I replied " Really? Do you think that is a good plan? I don't think this risk is worth taking. What if she still decides to go after Yohan, what then?" Medeia asked, looking at Jayden who rubbed his hands over h
