CHAPTER 135Jayden could not accept that his grandfather had relapsed and succumbed to his injury. He woke up quickly and hit the shower. Medeia yawned covering her eyes as the sun penetrated through the blinds into the room. She touched the rumpled bedsheet and noticed Jayden was not beside her. " Baby!" she called out gently." Yeah, Just a minute. I will be with you soon." He replied from the bathroom.He walked into the room with the towel around his waste. " Are you going somewhere?" Medeia asked, rubbing her face." I need to head to the hospital. I know the doctor would have one or two things to tell me about my Grandfather's death. I can't believe he is gone." Jayden said as he sniffled.He and Sir Benjamin were not really on speaking terms but Jayden loved him. His phone rang as Medeia was out of bed with her panties. She wiggled her butt as she went to grab his phone.Jayden looked at who the caller was, " Hello Sir Thompson." ' My boy. I heard what happened. How are you ho
CHAPTER 136The Gracehill corporation put in place a special time to mourn Sir Benjamin who had been the founder of the company. Jayden decided to attend the ceremony with Medeia, his wife.The Gracehill Corporation's grand hall was adorned with somber elegance as the elite members of the company gathered to bid farewell to Sir Benjamin. Jayden, dressed in a black suit, stood at the forefront, flanked by Medeia. The air was heavy with grief, and the atmosphere echoed with muted conversations. Some of his whispers were heard as Jayden looked at their faces trying to see if his grandfather had ever loved.Helena, now the acting CEO, arrived with an air of arrogance, displaying no signs of remorse. She wore a black dress that matched the occasion, but her eyes held a cold detachment. The Gracehill legacy, tainted by the recent events, seemed to fuel her desire for power rather than evoke any sense of loss. She was more determined to be the heir and with the fake will of her Uncle, she ha
CHAPTER 137Will's family on the other hand were having a blast. Andrew's business is booming while Baron on the other hand is trying to win Cassie's heart. He walked into the large luxurious mansion looking at his father reading a magazine. " Is everything alright son?" He sank into the chair beside his father, " Dad, I love her." Andrew looked at him and smiled, " Make her see the better side of you. Let her know how much you love."" That is it. You are the best." Baron jumped up happily rushing back to his room. He took his phone and dialed Cassie's number.[ RING ]" Hello Cassie, what are you doing?" Baron asked excitedly." Nothing. Although I have plans with Jeremy." She replied." Jeremy? I thought you said you were going to think about us?" Baron asked, his countenance changing." Yes, I did. I didn't promise not to hang out with Jeremy did I?" The line went silent and neither of them said anything. "Okay, understood but will you be up in thirty minutes? I am coming to g
CHAPTER 138Jayden knew Yohan must have known something. He must have seen something or heard something. He took his phone and saw Baron's missed call. " Why is he calling?" He mutters looking at his phone.Jayden had slept for a long time. The pain of losing his grandfather was something he didn't plan now. Medeia walked into the room and saw he was awake. " How are you feeling babe? I am so sorry." she said with a gentle voice and hugged him." I will be fine. We have got to talk, I want you to start a business on your right after I handle everything going on. I think my grandfather was murdered." Jayden said, calling Yohan's line." Really? Are you sure honey? That is a serious allegation you know." Medeia said gently taking a seat on the luxurious bed." The doctor just told me his skull was bashed. Also, Theodore was found dead alongside him. I think Yohan suspects something. I have tried calling him but he is not picking up." He said, looking at his phone ringing." Why don't yo
CHAPTER 139Desmond has a troubled mind. He tried taking his mind off what happened but each time he closed his eyes, he would recollect what had happened. There was a day he was asleep when Bella walked into his room. " Dad! Dad!! Wake up!" she shouted." Ah! Argh!!!" he yelled back, making Bella scream " Are you alright Dad? You have been acting weird for the past week now," she said, trying to let Desmond know she had been observing him." I am fine. Just a bad dream." He replied.Desmond looked at himself and the bedsheet he lay on. It was soaked with his sweat. He looked at Bella who was shocked to see such an amount of body sweat. " Are you sure you are alright Dad? You are making me scared. Are you sick? Or are you dying?" She asked with a frightened face." For the love of Christ, Bella. Jeez! I just said I was fine. Where is your mother?" He asked, trying to divert her attention." She is downstairs. You want me to call her for you?" she asked." No. Don't bother. I will go
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
