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
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 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
