CHAPTER 140Desmond looked around him and could barely see where he was except for the voice of Helena that he was listening to. " Can you at least show your face?" Helena turned on the light and before him was Yohan. Tied to the chair. " What are you doing? Have you gone nut?" Desmond shouted in fear." It looks like you are not seeing the greater picture here. He knows all about your little dirty deals and it is only a matter of time before he starts talking. What do you think will happen to you when he talks?" Helena asked with her hand akimbo. " I am giving you a choice right here, right now." she added, walking closer to him." And what is that?" Desmond asked. "Wait! How the hell did you have him captured and do you even think he knows anything?" Desmond added, looking at Helena circling him." Are you going to do things my way or we can just end everything right here? Imagine what we could accomplish together. With me beside you, we could move Gracehill's cooperation to a grea
CHAPTER 141Helena was beginning to show her true colors. She no longer listens to Robert and would do things however she pleased. " Do you even miss him?" He asked looking at her across the dining hall."Who?" Helena replied."Did you just ask me that question? I am talking about your uncle." Robert folded the magazine and looked at her." Any progress with the ongoing investigation?" He added." What investigation?" Helena squeezed her face looking at him." Wasn't Sir Benjamin killed?" He pressed further " And who told you he was killed?" Helena stood up and walked towards him.Robert felt something wasn't right. He looked at Helena as she walked closer to him. " Did you hear of anything?" She asked trying to know why Robert was popping up questions about the death of her uncle." Nothing. I was just showing a bit of concern. He loved you a lot you know." He said, trying to let the sleeping dog lie.Rbert's phone rang " Ah, it is Jayden. Hello." " Hello Robert, is my Aunt over th
CHAPTER 142" I am not sure Sir. I don't know about any of that." He replied." Do you know Yohan is missing?" Jayden asked again.He looked at Richardson and he felt uncomfortable. " Are you alright?" Jayden asked, looking at him. He was hiding something. He stood up and placed some money on the table. "Take your champagne, Sir. I would like to have the will by the end of the day." He said and walked away.Richardson took out his phone and called Helena." He is suspicious of me. What did you do? You had Yohan kidnapped and you didn't deem it fit to tell me" He said with anger." You need to calm down alright and do as you are told. You will have your money as we discuss but I need the original copy of the will." Helena said." I don't know what to do. Jayden just asked for the hard copy of the will. Which Yohna is having to himself. I don't even know where it is kept." He replied. "Why are you just telling me about this? Jeez! " She cut off the line and called Desmond. "Don't do any
CHAPTER 143Jayden walked in looking tired. " Welcome home honey," Medeia said gently, placing a soothing hand. " Do you have any leads on the whereabouts of Yohan?" She sat down beside him." I am so apologetic towards him. He had remained loyal to my grandfather ever since I left the mansion. It is my duty I find him either dead or alive." Jayden sighed." I understand what you mean babe but I believe Yohan would be fine with time. I can't believe someone would want him dead" Medeia , looked at Jayden.Freya came out of the kitchen with a glass of cold water in a tray and placed it in front of Jayden. " Thank you, Freya." He said with a smile and gulped the water down in a go. He was thirsty.Medeia having gone to the hospital to complain about being dizzy and throwing up, was confirmed pregnant. She looked at Jayden and wondered if it was the right time to tell him.Jayden looked at her and noticed she had something on her mind. " You look bothered. Is there something you want to t
CHAPTER 144Jayden's heart raced with a mix of surprise and frustration. The Moore family, seemingly poised to take advantage of the chaos surrounding his grandfather's death, now claimed a stake in Grace Hill Corporation. This unexpected turn of events triggered a flurry of thoughts in Jayden's mind as he tried to comprehend the implications. He looked at both father and daughter and began to wonder if they had a hand in his Grandfaher's death.Bella, reveling in the moment, continued with her smug expression. "You know, Jayden, it's all about seizing opportunities. I'm sure you understand that better than anyone," she remarked, a sly grin playing on her lips.Jayden clenched his fists, struggling to maintain his composure. "This is highly irregular. My aunt Helena wouldn't have agreed to such a deal without consulting me. Where is she?" he demanded, directing his frustration at the Moore family.Bella's father, Mr. Moore, chimed in with an air of authority. "Your aunt is currently o
CHAPTER 145The corporate boardroom buzzed with tension as Jayden and the loyal employees prepared to confront Desmond's family during the impending board meeting. Little did they know, Helena had a cunning strategy up her sleeve to ensure that Jayden's claim to the leadership of Grace Hill Corporation would face strong opposition. She had rallied around to gain the trust of some of the board directors and was ready to go to any length necessary to make sure she won their trust. As Jayden entered the room, determined and ready to expose the truth, he noticed the unfamiliar faces strategically placed among the board members. Helena, with a smug smile, gestured towards them. "Jayden, meet our new advisors. They bring valuable expertise to ensure the company's success under its new management."Jayden looked at their faces and they were more of Helena's people than Sir Benjamin's. He knew it would be difficult to win his Aunt in that kind of setting. The board members, seemingly swayed
CHAPTER 146The news of Cassie Onons and Baron Wills spread like wildfire throughout the Sweint city. It was one of the good things going on aside from the pregnancy of Medeia which was yet to be discovered by the paparazzi. Media and magazines bubbled with the existing news of the wedding plans. Baron was super excited to finally have Cassie's consent about the wedding plans. Andrew immediately sent invitations to all friends and families. He went ahead with Cassie and Baron's wedding preparations, ensuring every detail was meticulously arranged to create a memorable event. Sweint City was abuzz with excitement as the news of the upcoming wedding continued to captivate the public. Baron had his wedding suit ordered from the best country and also made sure there was none like it. Cassie who was happier to wed Baron, also ordered her wedding gown. It was going to be a day to be remembered by both of them. She sent invitations to distant friends and family. She was getting married to
CHAPTER 147Jayden called Mr Richardson's number again and it wasn't going through. He looked at the number if he had dialed it wrong. " it is the right one so why isn't it going through?" Medeia walked into his room and caught him talking to himself " Is anything the matter honey?" she asked looking a bit concern." I am fine. How are you seeing?" He asked with a smile touching her belly." I think the baby just kicked," she shouted with great joy. It was now a couple of months since Jayden saw Helena. They both do things separately and don't call on each other.The detective knowing that Yohan was safe and sound decided to find out the cause of Sir Benjamin's death which still was something that would take a lot of time. " How is the antenatal going? Let me know if you need some money to get anything " Jayden told her. Jayden continued to fiddle with his phone, frustration etched across his face. "I can't reach Mr. Richardson. Something's not right," he muttered, glancing at the
CHAPTER 186Jayden's joy knew no bounds as he was welcomed into the Gracehill corporation. Many of them wish him a good and successful life ahead while some say he lied to get his Aunt Helena locked.Upon entering the Gracehill corporation, Jayden was met with friendly smiles and messages of congratulations from the staff. A lot of them showed their admiration for his bravery and resolve in holding Desmond and Helena accountable.Mr. Thompson, who was the acting CEO of the corporation, expressed his pride in having Jayden as a part of the Gracehill family while extending his hand in welcome.Jayden firmly shook Mr. Thompson's hand, feeling a swell of pride in his chest. "Thank you," he responded, his voice reflecting gratitude. "I feel privileged to be present in this place."During the day, Jayden met different departments and teams within the company, all of whom were excited to collaborate with him. He was amazed by the commitment and expertise of the staff and felt a hopeful antic
CHAPTER 185As Desmond and Helena were led into the police station, the atmosphere was tense and charged with energy. Jayden and Yohan stood, their expressions showing strong determination. The proof collected was strong, and they were prepared to witness justice being served."Desmond and Helena, you're being arrested for the killing of Sir Benjamin Gracehill, Theodore, and Sandra," stated one of the officers in a strong tone.Desmond sneered, a self-satisfied grin dancing in his mouth. "He looked at Jayden and Yohan and spat, saying they had no evidence."Yohan moved closer, displaying the files with incriminating evidence. "We certainly do," he said, anger flashing in his eyes. "We have statements from witnesses, records from phones, and footage from surveillance cameras that confirm both of you were present at the crime scene."For a moment, Helena's calm demeanor faltered, a hint of fear appearing on her face. However, she swiftly composed herself, narrowing her eyes in defiance
Meanwhile, Jayden had told the hospital to announce the death of Robert to avoid putting his life in danger and also told the doctor to make sure no one came to claim his body. " I am his only family." He warned the doctor. Jayden immediately had Medeia and Benjamin flown out of Sweint City that night to protect them. He had Amber and Brian follow them for protection. " What is going on?" Medeia asked him over the phone. " Helena has gone berserk. I don't know what she would do to you and the child if she caught you. She might even want to use you as a bargaining chip. Jayden called Yohan '' we need to set the ball in motion. I am sure Desmond and Helena will be out for my head. Have the files with you turned in to the police and have them start an investigation immediately. " Where are you? " Yohan asked " Right now, I need to be with Robert. He has got only me." Jayden replied. As Jayden rushed to Robert's ward his mind buzzed with a flurry of thoughts. The sudden turn of events
Helena looked at him and froze. " Have you been stalking me?" She asked, frightened. " I don't have time to go about explaining everything you have done so please just save yourself the trouble of humiliating yourself. I expect to have the divorce papers by tomorrow. If I don't see it then I would have to send mine." Robert replied, walking out of Helena who seemed lost. She knew there was something off about Robert but she didn't expect him to tail her anywhere she was going. Helena took out her phone and called Desmond. " He has it! The phone and everything we have done." She screamed her lungs out " That isn't my problem. You fix it. You can expect me to keep running towards you every time there is an issue to be solved. Just make sure you have the phone. I don't know how you plan on making it happen but just get it!." Desmond shouted at her.Helena immediately entered her car and chased after Robert. Robert looked at his windscreen and saw Helena was right after him. He took hi
CHAPTER 182" Since you are listening to me, you should know what I want. I have your sex tape with me and I will have it released to the world. I know there are many evil deeds but we would unravel them one by one. I don't want anything from you. I just want you to pay for your crimes and every single pain you have melted out to the weak. " Robert said and cut off the line before Helena could beg him. He looked down and watched how she banged the steering in frustration. Robert knew he had to switch the phone off to avoid being tracked. Helena immediately took out her phone and called Desmond " I am coming over to the Villa and we also need to talk. It is high time we take care of this matter once and for all." Desmond, who felt relaxed that his plans were beginning to hatch felt agitated once more. He needed to wrap things up in time but it looks like the time was against him. He was the killer of Medeia's mother and had all of her weakening from her immediately when she died. H
CHAPTER 181With Allen and Bella walking out of the picture it was easy for Desmond to make up his mind about marrying Helena. He quickly called her " Hello baby, I will be with you in a few minutes. Where do you want to meet up? " He askedHelena was thrilled that they were going to be finally together. " I will send you the location of the Gracehill villa. You can stay there while I try to clear things up with my husband. This calls for celebration." Helena said as she hung up the line. Little did she know that Desmond was also planning to have her killed and have all the money and will for himself. Allen watched as Desmond drove out of the compound with the promise he was going to make life better for them. He drove towards the Villa and his mind went on how he was going to make Helena hand over the will to him and put everything she ever owned under his name. It could have been easier if his friend, George was not dead.He would have been a great asset. He would just wipe off h
CHAPTER 180" You are really going to leave me after everything we have been through. I can't believe you would just throw away what we have built over the years. Do you think I killed Fiona just to allow you to be with another woman? What am I even talking about. You killed her to take over her properties. Do you think you would have been able to if I haven't been by your side? Now that things are going so well for us you then decide to get married to that whore. I won't sit back and watch you leave me alone. " Allen shouted at him.Desmond looked at her and rubbed his hands over his hair. He was having a lot to deal with within a limited space of time. He had a lot of blood on his hands. He alone had killed Theodore, Sir Benjamin and even killed his first white all because of money. It looks like everything was catching up to him at once and his secret was about to be in the open.Desmond stood there, his mind racing as he tried to process everything that was happening. His careful
CHAPTER 179 The room was tense as everyone kept quiet. Jayden looked at them " Can you both ddo do do do o something? She asked you a question and it demands an answer. " He shouted at Desmond, who was now shivering. " it looks like you have a lot of secrets in your family. I guess you don't mind us finding out by ourselves." Jayden grabbed Medeia's hand and they both walked out on them. Bella looked at her parent again. " Can someone tell me what is going on right now I don't understand. Medeia just asked you both a simple question. Are you really her parents?" Desmond looked at Allen and both of them knew it was only a matter of time before she finds out. They had tried to bury the secret and bribe as many people who knew about it. " Ask your mother. " Desmond said getting up from his seat. He picked up his phone and called someone who he thinks can help with covering the matter from escalating.Bella walked closer to her mother changing her seat. " Are you Medeia's biological
CHAPTER 178" What is the matter Medeia? " Desmond asked over the call. He was having a lot on his plate at the moment and wasn't ready to add another to it. " I am coming right now to the mansion. I need to see you and Mother. " She looked at Jayden's face. " Are you sure all is fine? you can just talk to me over here and we can settle it. " Desmond replied." I just said I can't say it over the phone. I need to see you and Mother before I can ask you anything ." She replied." Alright. I will be seeing you soon then. " Desmond replied cutting the line. Jayden changed course and headed towards the Moore's villa. he drove into the compound and walked out to open the door for Medeia. " You need to play it cool or we won't get to the bottom of this," Jayden warned her trying to make her calm. As they strode into the house, they met Bella who also drove into the compound. " Well, Well, who do we have here? Did you get lost or something? " She said with a smirk." You are stupid if yo
