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.

CHAPTER 149" No! No!! Please, it was a mistake. I didn't do it on purpose." Desmond shouted out from his sleep Allen walked into his room upon hearing his nose. " Wake up Desmond. Wake up!" she tapped him." Ah!." Desmond woke up all sweaty, he looked beside him and saw Allen who had his head on her breast. " What is it, honey? You have been having a lot of nightmares lately. Too many if you would ask me. Is anything the matter?" She looked at his sweaty face." It is nothing. I am just having trouble closing my eyes for a linger period. What about Bella? Where is she?" Desmond asked." She is with Woody, she said she needed to see her for some reason," Allen replied and looked at him." I will be fine. I am sorry I made you worry about me most of the time." Desmond apologizes. " It is fine. I understand that you have been through a lot but you should know you are not in this alone. You can tell me whatever it is that is troubling you.

CHAPTER 150" I know that it is hard to believe my child but a mother never forgets her kids. Can you come home for dinner?" Allen asked." Dinner? With just you or the entire family?" Medeia asked back." The family. Is that such a bad idea? We could talk and also do things as a family now. You can even bring Jayden along with you." Allen replied, cleaning the tears off her face." I will consider it mother. I am not promising to come but I will think about it." Medeia concluded and cut off the call before Allen could say anything else.Medeia tapped her table with her nails and wondered what they wanted with her. She knew her family too well and now they try getting whatever they want either by crook or cranny.

She asked with a worried look on her face." I am fine, Amber. Just some family drama." She replied." Abou
CHAPTER 151Medeia looked at Bella who in return shot her an unwelcome look. " Mother, why did you call me here? I don't think I am welcome. So, please leg be done with whatever it is you want to talk about." she said looking from Allen to DesmondThe truth was that Medeia wasn't Allen's daughter but they had decided to keep it a secret from her. " How can you talk like that honey? We truly love you and care for you as our own." Desmond replied " Care for me? Did you just say "Care for me?" Medeia looked at Desmond and then back at Allen, she then looked at Bella who was getting irritated by the fact that they called her to the table " I don't see why we need to do this. It is obvious that she doesn't want to be here. So, why not let her go." Bella rolled her eyes and hissed at Medeia Desmond looked at her and she kept quiet " I don't remember asking for your opinion in all of this. What have you ever done well for the family? All you do is constitute a nuisance for the family. You
CHAPTER 152Desmond opened his eyes wide as her tongue fondled his before he closed his eyes. Helena let go of him and stared into his eyes. " I love you, Desmond Moore. I am sure your wife doesn't know what you are?" She said walking away from him " What I am? What am I?" He asked staring at Helena " A rare gem. That is what you are. You have these skills that need to be put to use. Let's forget about our family and be together." Helen's voice could be heard in the garden" Leave my family? I am sorry but I can't kill my wife." Desmond replied " Well, you don't need to do but I want you to myself and I want you to reconsider what I asked of you. Killing Jayden would do us good, okay." Helena added Suddenly, they heard a movement in the flowers " Who is there?" Desmond shouted walking towards the plant while Helena limped towards him. He looked in between the flowers and saw no one. " It might have been the cats," Desmond said catching his breath " Let's take it one step at a ti
